"I don’t know about your family, but given your age and position, asking you to give up is simply impossible.

But my father and I think Jing Chu should find someone who can always be by her side to take care of her, rather than having her bear the burden of a household alone."

Yang Zhongyi sat dejectedly in the car, not saying a word.

He could understand the feelings of the father and son from the Lv Family. If he had a daughter in the future, he’d feel the same way.

Who doesn’t want their daughter to be cherished and adored, rather than facing everything alone every day?

"Guodong, I can assure you, I will definitely treat Jing Chu well."

"Yang Zhongyi, haven’t you noticed Jing Chu has no special feelings for you at all?

If she really liked you, my father and I would respect her decision. But she clearly has no other thoughts about you.

You should give it up; it’s better for both of us."

"But I’m not reconciled. Guodong, you have your beloved woman, you know the feeling. I was attracted to Jing Chu at first sight.

Brother Han told me that my family must agree before I pursue Jing Chu. I also respect Jing Chu, that’s why I held back.

But my mother disagrees, and my father doesn’t care. What am I supposed to do?

I don’t want Jing Chu to be hurt, but I’m really too upset.

You don’t know, but when I’m alone, my heart is filled with thoughts of Jing Chu."

"Sigh. Yang Zhongyi, what do you like about Jing Chu? I remember you two haven’t had much interaction; are you only attracted to her looks?"

"What’s wrong with being attracted to looks? If your wife were ugly, I reckon you wouldn’t have ended up together. Maybe now you’ll say you like her and don’t care about her appearance, but initially, there was no reason for you not wanting to see her."

Guodong had no rebuttal but felt unpleasant knowing it was because of his sister’s looks.

"Yang Zhongyi, this is my sister’s matter. My father and I only offer advice, we don’t control her.

I’ve already told you our stance. Jing Chu doesn’t have any special feelings for you, so I advise you not to make it clear. That way, future encounters won’t be awkward, and Jing Chu won’t avoid you."

"Guodong, you and Jing Chu are siblings, you know her best. Help me out, even just telling me what she likes.

I absolutely can’t give up like this."

"Yang Zhongyi, your family doesn’t agree, what’s the point of doing all this? Do you think we would agree to let Jing Chu enter a family that doesn’t like her?

That’s impossible. Uncle Han is right; without your family’s consent, you don’t have the qualified right to like or pursue her."

Yang Zhongyi went silent, his handsome face full of helplessness.

At the foot of the mountain, Guodong stopped the car. Watching Yang Zhongyi leave disheartened, he felt quite uncomfortable himself.

Yang Zhongyi’s character is decent; otherwise Uncle Wei and Uncle Yang wouldn’t allow him into the family just because he knows Brother Han.

But in such a family, Jing Chu wouldn’t be accepted, and life would be unlivable.

Furthermore, he knows his sister well; she truly has no feelings for Yang Zhongyi. Maybe he didn’t understand before, but now that he has a wife, he knows what it’s like to long for the opposite sex.

Shaking his head, a couple can’t sustain a relationship based on sympathy.

After returning home, he didn’t even wash up and went straight to find Jiang Xinyu.

Wei Kaiyun was helping her dry her hair, otherwise she would want to cut it — too troublesome.

But Wei Kaiyun likes it, so he takes care of it every time.

Guodong didn’t expect to walk into such a scene, feeling a bit awkward.

"Did you send him home?" Wei Kaiyun didn’t stop what he was doing and asked.

"No, I just drove to the foot of the mountain.

Aunt Jiang, he says he likes Jing Chu, but his family disagrees, and he’s only attracted to Jing Chu’s looks."

Wei Kaiyun looked at this young guy and laughed, "Go shower first, I’ll talk to you later."

He didn’t want his wife discussing this matter with him, even if she considered him a junior.

"Xinyu, why is Guodong so naive?"

"Isn’t that what Lv Beiguang is like?"

Wei Kaiyun thought about it, it was indeed true; Lv Beiguang could be considered naive.

"But Jing Chu is so slow," Jiang Xinyu sighed.

"She’s still young," Wei Kaiyun could only comfort his wife like this.

"Yeah, she’s really not old, but we have to change her mindset. It’s unrealistic for her to remain single forever given her looks. There will be times we can’t help or take care of her.

Actually, Jing Chu should find someone strong to protect her.

If Yang Zhongyi’s family agrees, I am quite optimistic about them. But with family as a barrier, I don’t want our children to suffer from others’ cold stares."

"It will be encountered in the future."

"Sigh, women can’t wait. What will we do if Feifei has no intention of settling down in the future?"

"Then I’ll take care of her for life, protect her for life."

Jiang Xinyu pinched Wei Kaiyun, "Stop talking nonsense. Can you live until she’s old? Don’t talk nonsense."

Wei Kaiyun felt extremely aggrieved; wasn’t what he said true? That’s how it is. If his daughter doesn’t want to settle down, he certainly wouldn’t object. There isn’t anyone worthy of his daughter in this world.

With her hair dry, Jiang Xinyu stood up and stretched, "Wei Kaiyun, let me tell you, be honest with me. If I find out you make promises to the kids or talk to them about anything, you’ll find you can’t handle it."

Wei Kaiyun immediately promised, "I definitely won’t. But I respect the children’s decisions."

"Hmph," Jiang Xinyu snorted coldly. He says it’s easy now, but later he won’t be saying the same.

"Go talk to Guodong; the silly boy is definitely tangled up in this issue.

I’ll go ask Jing Chu, with Feifei listening on the side."

"Why have Feifei listen?" Wei Kaiyun didn’t want that; what if his daughter had plans to settle down early? That’s his beloved treasure.

Jiang Xinyu didn’t bother responding to him. She turned and left.

She called Feifei to join her to find Jing Chu.

"Aunt Jiang, I know what you’re going to ask. I don’t have any special feelings for Mr. Yang."

Jiang Xinyu looked at the straightforward Jing Chu and worried even more. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

"Jing Chu, if, just if, Uncle Wei, Uncle Yang, your dad, and I agreed on Yang Zhongyi, what would you think?"

"Then I’d listen to you all; you must be doing it for my good and think he’s suitable."

"But what’s the point of living as a couple like that? Marriage doesn’t necessarily require love, but a marriage without love isn’t happy.

Jing Chu, all of us elders hope you can be happy for a lifetime.

Our Jing Chu, so wonderful, should have a happy family to be truly complete."
