"What do you want to say?"

Qi Yan didn't want to hear her continue to beat around the bush.

Probably because she didn't expect her to be so direct, Tong Wen's face froze for a moment, then immediately returned to calm, but her tone became more commanding.

"I think it's just right that your engagement is cancelled. Fu Yun will be of marriageable age in a year. He grew up in the Fu family. He is honest and clean, has a good education, and knows everyone well. His character is impeccable."

"Then you can take him to the Qi family, and you can get married a year later."

"..."

As soon as these words were spoken, an eerie silence fell on the table.

Qi Yan's usually calm face also had a few cracks. She put down the spoon, and the crisp sound of the bowl and spoon colliding was particularly harsh at this moment.

"Grandma, what nonsense are you talking about? Fu Yun is my cousin."

"So what? He's not related to you. He's a good match for you and the Qi family in every way. What are you dissatisfied with?"

Tong Wen's face was full of matter-of-factness.

Fu Yun is the child of Fu Xuhe's comrade-in-arms. He was adopted by the Fu family when he was young. He is also very hardworking and is considered a genius.

He was admitted to Imperial Capital University at an early age and graduated at the age of 18. Logically speaking, a talent like him should not have disappeared for three years.

Now that I think about it, I know why.

Waiting for her here?

Qi Yan just found it ridiculous and glanced at the rest of the people. They all avoided his gaze. It was obvious that they all knew about this.

Only Fu Yubei watched this farce with great interest, and as if he was afraid that the fire was not strong enough, he added fuel to the fire.

"I think Fu Yun is a good person. Your marriage to the Fu family will strengthen your relationship. This is a great event."

Although Fu Yun is not a member of the Fu family, he has no other relatives and is a grateful person. Moreover, he treats Fu Fu closer than his own sister.

Therefore, no one is afraid that he will get close to the Qi family and ignore the life and death of the Fu family.

The Qi family is rigid and extremely rule-abiding, so it is simply unrealistic to ask them to support the Fu family.

But getting married again will be different. With the support of a big tree, the remaining shade will be enough to support the family.

The Fu family had a good plan, but Qi Yan didn't intend to be controlled by others.

"I'll pretend I've never heard of this, and you'd better give up the idea too."

Her tone was calm and no emotion could be heard.

"What do you mean? It's good to keep it within the family. What's wrong with you helping your mother's family? And what's wrong with Fu Yun? You will definitely like her after you get to know her!"

"Grandma, he's only twenty-one, and today is the first time he sees me, and you want him to go with me? Do you treat him as a human being?"

"..."

Qi Yan asked this sharply, and everyone's faces changed.

Even Fu Yun, who had been keeping his head down, raised his head, and the look in his eyes when he looked at Qi Yan changed.

Is this the Qi family?

"Qi Yan! My Fu family feeds him well and provides him with delicious food and drinks, how come you don't treat him as a human being?!"

"I am your in-law, how can I harm you? I am kind enough to introduce you to someone I know well, am I wrong?"

"Given the current situation of the Fu family, if you don't want to help, that's fine! Isn't it a sign of trust in you that Fu Yun is married to you?!"

Tong Wen was so angry that her face turned red and her neck became thick, and the little girl helped her calm down.

Qi Yan glanced at her and sneered: "If you keep saving face, the Fu family will be doomed."

"I don't dare to accept this trust. Is it for my own good, or is it because of the power of the Qi family? You know it in your heart. You are the kind of people who are willing to sell people for fame and fortune."

"Those who know this is a society ruled by law, those who don't will think I have entered the old society, and you are here to raise children and husbands for me."

"..."

She slapped everyone present in the face without any hesitation.

They dared not even breathe.

Just when the atmosphere was reaching freezing point, Fu Xuhe hurried out to smooth things over.

"Since Xiaoyan doesn't like Fu Yun, let's forget about it. It's really hard for us to interfere in young people's affairs, and arranged marriages are no longer popular nowadays."

"Come on, everyone, keep eating. The food won't taste good if it gets cold."

The atmosphere eased a little, and the old lady calmed down and stopped making trouble.

The veins on Shen Rao's jaw line relaxed and he greeted the servant next to him with a smile.

"Please give me a new pair of chopsticks."

The servant then noticed that the lacquer chopsticks in his hand were broken into two pieces in the middle.

"?"

The servant didn't dare to ask more questions and quickly took away the broken chopsticks and handed over new ones.

Shen Rao picked up the chopsticks and had no intention of continuing to eat. His sharp gaze fell on Fu Yun who was secretly looking at Qi Yan across from him.

The Fu family has a secret that has been circulating in recent years.

The Fu family, who appear to be rich and powerful, have a spoiled child. I heard that the child is raised by some noble.

It is said that the girl is beautiful, never leaves the house, has good moral character, and is a role model for everyone.

Everyone who had heard of this wonderful person wanted to meet him, but the Fu family kept the secret.

This was what Gu Qing told him when he was collecting gossip. Shen Rao has a good memory and still remembers it.

Now I understand who this wonderful person and noble man are.

So the gossip that I didn't take seriously before was actually a plan to poach his girlfriend?!

Shen Rao was in a very bad mood.

I almost broke the new chopsticks again.

The second half of dinner.

No one dared to mention Qi Yan's marriage again, as if the matter was really over.

After dinner, the younger generations gathered together to play cards. Qi Yan and Shen Rao were also pulled to join in, and the atmosphere was quite harmonious.

After twelve o'clock, everyone dispersed after celebrating the New Year.

I don’t know if it was intentional, but their rooms were far apart, one at the eastern end and the other at the western end.

Shen Rao held her hand and hesitated to go back to the house.

"Why don't you just live in the same room with me?"

Qi Yan glanced at the sticky Shen Rao and said helplessly.

"No, this is the Fu family, it's not appropriate."

He refused sternly.

At times like this, he was very principled. In Shen Rao's opinion, this was respect and importance.

So he was willing to endure this fatal lovesickness.

"Actually, I can sleep on the floor."

Qi Yan gave way.

"……That's not OK."

Shen Rao exhaled a breath, held her face, looked around cautiously, and then gave her a light kiss on the lips.

"I don't want others to look at you strangely."

Putting on a coat would make old lady Fu almost die, let alone live in the same room with her.

He didn't want to cause this kind of trouble for Qi Yan.

Qi Yan's heart moved, and she put her arms around his neck, returning the kiss with a deeper kiss. She rested her forehead against Shen Rao, who was flushed and breathing hotly, and smiled.

"Goodnight kiss."

"..."

Shen Rao only heard the sound of his heart being hit hard, his brain seemed to be rusted, and he was dizzy.

After the two separated.

Fu Xuhe came out from the side of the room and looked at Fu Yu who was full of worry.

"Are you all ready?"

"Okay, I'm ready... Dad, is this a bad idea?"

"What's wrong with that? Don't you want the Fu family to be well? Don't overthink. You are responsible for keeping an eye on the Shen family and don't let him cause trouble."

"Yes……"

Qi Yan entered the room, just put down his coat, and was about to unbutton his jacket when he frowned slightly.
