Yan Qianqian
Those who entered An Wang Fu, led by the Wangfei, crossed the courtyard and headed straight for the front hall. Along the way, everyone chatted and laughed, praising the scenery of the residence without end.
When they reached the front hall, everyone took their seats. Only An Wang and An Wangfei sat upright on the main seat, dignified and imposing without anger. Meanwhile, An Ning, Qi Ling, and Qi Yu sat on the chairs to the left, appearing somewhat restrained.
Seeing everyone had arrived, An Wangfei smiled and instructed the yatou beside her to serve tea. The yatou swiftly brought the tea to the table; the tea fragrance filled the air, refreshing the heart and mind.
Next, An Wangfei turned to Chunxi and said: "Go call Shuang'er over; just say that distinguished guests have arrived." After receiving the order, Chunxi hurried toward Wufangyuan.
After Chunxi left, the Wangfei's gaze fell on An Ning, and she asked softly: "Xi Xi is back; does that mean Old Madam's health has recovered?"
Hearing this, An Ning hurriedly stood and replied: "Thanks to Wangfei Elder Sister's ginseng, my mother can not only walk around the courtyard but also go out visiting!"
Hearing this, the Wangfei showed a relieved smile and said: "For someone of advanced age, good health is still the most important."
An Ning nodded repeatedly, agreeing: "Yes, yes, Old Madam has such spirit today, all thanks to Wangfei Elder Sister's ginseng."
Afterward, An Ning changed the subject, smiling at the Wangfei: "Wangfei Elder Sister surely knows why Younger Sister came today; it is precisely to propose marriage for my son Qi Yu."
An Wangfei smiled slightly and nodded in response: "Mm, I've discussed this with her father; neither of us has any objection. Let the two children proceed to the next step."
Hearing this, An Ning was overjoyed, and her smile grew even brighter: "That's wonderful! We've also brought the betrothal gifts; we hope Wangfei Elder Sister and Wangye won't disdain them."
Immediately, An Ning turned to the steward and softly instructed: "Go bring the gift list." Hearing this, the steward hurried forward, respectfully presenting the gift list to An Wang with both hands, then respectfully retreated to one side.
An Ning smiled slightly and continued: "You two take a look at this gift list first; if you feel anything is unsuitable or missing, we can discuss it and add more."
An Wang took the gift list and carefully flipped through it. Beside him, An Wangfei, though not looking at the gift list, still smiled and said: "How much the betrothal gifts are doesn't matter; anyway, we two won't keep these betrothal gifts; at that time, we'll have Shuang'er take them back. They belong to the two children; roughly enough is fine."
After An Wang finished looking at the gift list, he handed it to An Wangfei. An Wangfei took the gift list and looked at it seriously. After she finished, she looked up at An Wang, who smiled and nodded, indicating approval.
Seeing this, An Wangfei also smiled and said: "Mm, Younger Sister's betrothal gifts are indeed quite many!"
An Ning hurriedly said: "Not hiding from Elder Sister, part of this is betrothal gifts added by my father-in-law. Our whole family is very satisfied with Shuang'er, always feeling afraid of giving too little, afraid of wronging Shuang'er. As long as you two don't disdain it, that's fine."
Just as they were speaking, Chunxi had already returned in a hurry. At this moment, everyone's gazes all turned toward the entrance. Only a woman dressed in a pink skirt was seen, as charming and lovely as a blooming peach blossom.
Although her hair was simply tied up, it did not affect her beauty that could topple a city and a kingdom in the least; instead, it added a fresh and natural air.
Just as everyone was captivated by her beauty, suddenly she shouted: "Xi Xi!!! I miss you so much!" This shout pulled everyone back.
Qi Xi beside her, hearing this shout, could no longer sit still; she suddenly stood up, like a cheerful little bird, running straight toward Qianqian, while shouting nonstop: "Qianqian, I miss you so much too!"
The two finally met, tightly embracing each other, happy like two children, jumping and cheering. Their laughter echoed in the air, as if the whole world was infected by their joy.
However, amidst this lively atmosphere, An Wangfei beside them silently lowered her head, unable to help thinking in her heart: "What exactly am I looking forward to?"
Just as Qianqian and Xi Xi were happily jumping and cheering, another person walked in through the entrance.
Only she was seen wearing a yellow dress; with her light steps swaying slowly, like a fairy descending to the mortal world. The ribbon on her arm seemed to have come to life, playfully winding around her arm, and from time to time almost slipping down, adding a touch of playfulness and cuteness to her.
Looking further up, that was an exquisitely beautiful face; her lovely features were eye-catching.
Her lips were red and moist like cherries, her teeth white as snow, as if finely carved.
Around her neck she wore a necklace; its shape was irregular, yet it inadvertently added a finishing touch to the overall look.
Her hair bun was styled very exquisitely, with a dangling hairpin inserted at the back. With her light steps, the dangling hairpin swayed back and forth, as if jumping, swaying right into the eyes of several people present.
Qi Yu was completely dumbfounded; his gaze was completely attracted by this woman, unable to move away.
And Yan Shuang'er's gaze also unconsciously drifted toward Qi Yu, but after all there were many people present; she just gave a faint glance, quickly sweeping over, seemingly not lingering too much.
Yan Shuang'er walked forward gracefully; first she performed a standard salute to An Wang and An Wangfei, coquettishly saying: "Father, Mother." Then she turned around and saluted An Ning and Qi Ling again, smiling and saying: "Qi Shushu, Aunt An."
Finally, her gaze fell on Qi Yu; her vermilion lips parted slightly, softly calling out: "Young Master Qi."
This call was like heavenly music, entering Qi Yu's ears, then like a clear spring, flowing into his heart. Qi Yu felt his heartbeat instantly quicken; for a moment he actually couldn't recover his senses.
After a good while, he came back to his senses; and at this time, Yan Shuang'er had already looked toward Qi Xi, gently saying: "Xi Xi is here too." Seeing this, Qi Xi immediately shouted happily: "Sister Shuang'er!"
Just at this time, Yan Shuang'er slowly walked back to her own seat; unfortunately, her seat happened to be exactly facing Qi Yu!
Yan Shuang'er's heartbeat instantly accelerated, as if it were about to jump out of her throat. Her cheeks involuntarily flushed with a rosy glow, as brilliant as the evening clouds; then like a frightened rabbit, she quickly lowered her head, not daring to look at Qi Yu again.
