Protagonist:

Yan Qianqian

Guo Lanxin pondered for a moment, then suddenly seemed to think of something. She covered her mouth with a handkerchief, hesitated for a moment, and finally mustered the courage to say, "My family's Ai Jiao is quite good. He and Qianqian grew up together from childhood; they are childhood sweethearts and know each other inside out."

"Besides, Xin'er has been married into our family for so many years, and I have never bullied her. Not only that, if Qianqian marries in, there won't be any problem with sisters-in-law not getting along. Isn't that killing three birds with one stone?"

As soon as Guo Lanxin finished speaking, everyone fell silent for a moment, seemingly all thinking about her words.

After a while, Qianqian reacted first. She hurriedly waved her hands and said, "No, no, I'm too familiar with Ai Jiao. How could we be together?"

Ai Jiao had originally seen a glimmer of hope in his eyes upon hearing Guo Lanxin's words, but hearing Qianqian refuse so decisively, that glimmer instantly dimmed.

Guo Lanxin naturally did not overlook her son's dimmed gaze. Actually, the reason she specially had her son invite Qianqian and Qi Xi today was precisely for this matter.

Not only that, An Wangfei was also personally invited by her yesterday with a post, saying that Xin'er missed her very much and hoped she could come to the Shangshu Fu tomorrow if she had time.

It can be said that she had already made full preparations yesterday, but unfortunately things went against her wishes; she didn't expect things to go so poorly right from the start.

And when Qianqian spoke, An Wangfei also secretly glanced at Ai Jiao out of the corner of her eye.

It can be said that, apart from the carefree child Qianqian, the others present more or less noticed Ai Jiao's appearance.

Just then, An Wangfei stepped in to smooth things over, smiling as she said, "Qianqian is still young; maybe she hasn't wised up yet. One can't speak so absolutely."

"I think Ai Jiao is quite a good child. Why not give them both a chance and let them develop in that direction? There might be an unexpected harvest."

Hearing An Wangfei say this, Ai Jiao's originally dim eyes suddenly brightened again, as if he had seen a glimmer of dawn in the darkness.

He seemed to have grabbed a life-saving straw, instantly raised his head, and looked at Guo Lanxin and An Wangfei full of anticipation.,

Then Qianqian still said without hesitation, "Mother, this matter can't be accomplished just because a long time has passed! Ai Jiao and I are good brothers; we've known each other for over ten years! If it could happen, it would have happened already, wouldn't it?"

After speaking, she turned to look at Ai Jiao, while Ai Jiao put on a bitter face, forced out a smile, and echoed, "Yes, Qianqian is right."

An Wangfei looked at her daughter and was truly helpless, sighing secretly in her heart.

As for Guo Lanxin, looking at her son, she was even more frustrated, and the handkerchief in her hand was almost kneaded into a mess by her.

At this awkward moment, Yan Xiner suddenly spoke: "Mother, let's not worry about Qianqian for now. After all, Qianqian still has Wang'er above her."

Mentioning Wang'er made An Wangfei's head grow another size bigger. Indeed, she used to worry that Xin'er and Shuang'er couldn't get married, and worry that Si'er couldn't find a wife. Now these three children are all married, but there are still three below!

Jie'er is young, so let's not talk about him for now; as for Qianqian, her brain seems to be missing a screw, so let's not mention her either; but this Wang'er is already of age, yet he seems completely uninterested in girls.,

An Wangfei frowned tightly, gently rubbed her aching forehead, and said with a face full of worry: "Wang'er, I'm really worried to death! Last night so many young ladies from prestigious families performed at the banquet, but he didn't even look at them."

"I'm starting to suspect he doesn't like women at all! What should I do?"

Qianqian, standing beside them, couldn't help but interject upon hearing her mother's words: "Mother, you're quite open-minded, and your ability to accept things is really strong."

However, before her voice could fall, An Wangfei knocked hard on her head, making her cry out "Ouch!"

Qianqian rubbed her head in grievance and dared not speak again. Seeing this, Guo Lanxin hurriedly comforted her: "Wangfei Elder Sister, don't worry too much. There A Ren't many women in the military camp anyway; Wang'er might just not have wised up yet."

"Look, wasn't Si'er like that before? Running around all day, and fleeing faster than a rabbit whenever marriage was mentioned."

"But later, he met Yu'er, and didn't he become especially proactive? He even dragged both of you to Dongying to propose! So, Wang'er definitely just hasn't met the right person. Once he meets her, he'll naturally wise up."

Yan Xiner also echoed: "Yes, Mother, don't be anxious. Wang'er definitely knows what's in his own heart. Don't randomly meddle in mandarin duck affairs!"

Hearing the two of them speak, An Wangfei nodded and felt somewhat comforted in her heart.

She naturally understood this reasoning, but Wang'er's lifelong matter had always been unresolved. How could she, as a mother, not worry?,

So she continued to speak: "As for me, I'm actually mainly worried that he won't have someone to mutually care for him in the future."

"Of course, I'm not trying to force him. After all, we already have Xiao Jing'er, so the matter of continuing the family line is somewhat settled. So it's not that urgent."

"But look at the men in Kyoto. Children his age are already playing soy sauce! In a few more years, when he's older, I'm afraid no one will want him!"

Hearing this, Guo Lanxin hurriedly comforted her: "Children and grandchildren have their own blessings. This kind of thing can't be forced!" After speaking, she also glanced thoughtfully at Ai Jiao, seemingly trying to discern something from his reaction.

As for Ai Jiao at this moment, he put on a look of giving up completely. He looked up at the sky and said leisurely: "Yes, it can't be forced..."

Qianqian beside him saw this and hurriedly stepped forward, smiling at Guo Lanxin: "Mother, rest assured! If a suitable person is met, without Si Ge taking action, I will naturally help him settle it!"

Hearing Qianqian's words, An Wangfei couldn't help but silently curse in her heart. She thought to herself: "You're so proactive about other people's matters, but what about your own? How is it nothing at all!"

However, An Wangfei was after all a person of good quality. She couldn't roll her eyes in front of everyone, so she could only silently vent in her heart.

As for Qi Xi, she behaved very well throughout. She sat quietly beside them, carefully tasting the tea and pastries, while listening attentively to everyone's conversation, without interrupting.,

Guo Lanxin also noticed Qi Xi sitting beside them in passing. She smiled and asked softly: "Xi Xi, how do the pastries taste?"

Hearing this, Qi Xi raised her head, her big eyes looking at Guo Lanxin lively. She nodded gently and replied softly: "Very delicious, thank you, Auntie Guo."
