Chapter 1978: Jiang Xun’s Engagement (Part 7)

If he, as the head of the Duan Family, were to support Feng Nianian, it would be a public declaration that Feng Nianian’s backing is the Duan Family. If anything were to happen to her in the future, the Duan Family would have to take responsibility, which means that Duan Xi, who will inherit the Duan Family, would also have to manage it. However, the Jiang Family is not a small family, and any trouble would be endless... One is a niece with a different surname, the other is his biological son; naturally, he would favor his own son.

And what Feng Nianian thought about last night wasn’t without reason; she simply overestimated her position in Duan Qianyang’s mind.

So she waited expectantly all day, and when she came home from school and asked Duan Sishu impatiently, she found out it was not Duan Qianyang, but Duan Qirui, who came. Her face turned quite unpleasant.

Although they are both part of the Duan Family and both are uncles, there is a world of difference between them.

Qianyang is prominent in Beidu, holds a high position, and is a key person in the Duan Family, while Duan Qirui, due to his obsessive hygiene habits, has no reputation in Beidu for years and is nothing more than an assistant to Duan Qianyang. Many have never even met him, having only heard of his extreme hygiene obsession.

She wanted Duan Sishu to beg Duan Qianyang to come forward because she wanted the Jiang Family to know that she was valued by Duan Qianyang, thereby elevating her status in the Jiang Family. Now that Duan Qianyang is not coming and sends Duan Qirui instead, what’s the point!

And another person who is upset is Jiang Xun.

Jiang Xun met Feng Nianian at the engagement party of Ruan Jiaojiao and Duan Xi. Feng Nianian’s features somewhat resemble Ruan Jiaojiao’s, and Jiang Xun has always liked Ruan Jiaojiao, so at the party, Feng Nianian made quite an impression on him.

Afterward, Feng Nianian inquired about him in various ways and orchestrated various accidental encounters. Feeling the other party’s affection, over two years, they gradually ended up together.

Feng Nianian is gentle and sensible, and has a slight resemblance to Ruan Jiaojiao. He was somewhat fond of her.

But this fondness was far from developing into the level of getting engaged and binding for a lifetime, especially since he still had Zhou Yun by his side.

However, he didn’t expect that at the beginning of the year, while celebrating Feng Nianian’s birthday, despite only drinking a few glasses and clearly not being drunk, they ended up in the same bed together, and even results showed...

Now it’s progressed to her being pregnant, necessitating immediate engagement and a quick marriage!

The guilt he initially felt for Feng Nianian instantly transformed into a sense of resentment at being coerced.

He is not happy about the engagement at all, even strongly rejecting the idea. However, his parents, both in the education sector and conservative by nature, wouldn’t tolerate him mistreating the girl without taking responsibility, so they bypassed him and started discussing the engagement date with Duan Sishu.

Thinking that he might soon have to spend his life with someone he doesn’t love made him feel terrible, and his gaze drifted to the other side, landing on Ruan Jiaojiao, who was happily laughing and joking with a group of girls. His eyes couldn’t help but darken.

Ruan Jiaojiao, quite sensitive, felt his gaze, looked over puzzled, saw it was Jiang Xun staring at her, and immediately withdrew her gaze, pretending she felt nothing and continued to play with Wu Huan and the others.

After class, Jiang Xun wanted to walk over to Ruan Jiaojiao, but she had already wised up and had quietly instructed Li Yaoyao and the others when she sensed his gaze earlier.
