Yang Caiqian widened his eyes, then said hesitantly, "Propose? But I..."

"Are you just playing around with Sister Baozhu?" Seeing Yang Caiqian's reaction, Wang Siyi changed her usual gentle tone and asked a little aggressively, even changing the honorific "Teacher Yang" to "you".

Yang Caiqian quickly waved his hands and said nervously, "No, no, I just felt a little caught off guard."

Li Changle glanced at Yang Caiqian. Judging from his appearance, Yang Caiqian should not be a scumbag. He was really nervous. He guessed that his reaction just now was just a confusion.

It makes sense that Yang Caiqian is single at this age. Li Changle and Yang Caiqian have known each other for almost a year, so she shouldn't have made a mistake in choosing the right person. Yang Caiqian should really like Chen Baozhu.

Li Changle persuaded her, "Sister Baozhu made it very clear in what she told you. If he feels that your relationship is unstable, why don't you find a way to stabilize it? Anyway, both you and Sister Baozhu should have reached the age to get married a long time ago. There's no need to hesitate too much, right?"

Yang Caiqian pondered for a long time, his face a little conflicted. Does he like Chen Baozhu? Yes, that’s for sure.

But just as Li Changle thought, the fact that he is still single at this age is actually more due to his own reasons. Yang Caiqian is definitely not ready for this change in identity.

Meeting Chen Baozhu was a completely special case. As a recognized bachelor in the circle, he had no shortage of partners who would pay him back, but he chose to be single until he met Chen Baozhu, simply because he did not think he could play the role of a husband well.

Yang Caiqian said bitterly, "Perhaps you don't know, but I grew up in a single-parent family. Because of my family background, I've always believed that it's very difficult for two people to maintain a successful marriage."

When Yang Caiqian said this, Li Changle and the others could understand Yang Caiqian's reaction, but understanding does not mean agreement. Li Changle continued, "I remember that it was you, Teacher Yang, who took the initiative to pursue Sister Baozhu. Did you ever think about your future at the time, or did you simply think you just wanted to have a relationship with her?"

Yang Caiqian hesitated for a second before finally saying, "Well, well... at first I simply liked her and wanted to be with her, without giving it much thought. But then I fell deeper and deeper in love. But every time I think about getting married, I subconsciously avoid it. I just think it wouldn't be bad if we could keep this relationship going."

"You..." Li Changle didn't know what to say for a moment. It was inappropriate to say that Yang Caiqian was a scumbag. After all, he really liked Chen Baozhu, which was something that anyone with a discerning eye could see.

But even if he is not a scumbag, he wants to spoil Chen Baozhu's life. Which woman would be willing to live with a man without any status for the rest of her life?

Now it seems that Chen Baozhu does not really want to abort the child, but wants Yang Caiqian to express his attitude. After all, Chen Baozhu and Yang Caiqian have been together for quite some time, and she should know what Yang Caiqian is thinking.

Yang Caiqian knew he was in the wrong, so he said bluntly, "Actually, when you said that, I probably knew what Baozhu was thinking. My idea was indeed a bit excessive."

"So what do you think now?" Wang Siyi asked from the side.

Yang Caiqian smiled easily and said, "I don't have any other thoughts. I know I like Baozhu and want to be with her for the rest of my life. I used to think she might not care that much about this formality, but now that she's asked me to express my attitude, I have to express it anyway."

Yang Caiqian paused for a moment, then continued, "Maybe I'm still not ready for the role of being a husband and a father, but I won't run away like I did before. Maybe after trying it won't be as bad as I imagined."

Li Changle and Wang Siyi looked at each other and breathed a sigh of relief. To be honest, if Yang Caiqian really intended to be stubborn to the end, they didn't know how to comfort Chen Baozhu. Fortunately, Yang Caiqian did not persist.

Although Yang Caiqian's words were still uncertain, they were indeed very sincere and he did not say anything empty. This shows that Yang Caiqian is at least an honest person, so now the choice should be on Chen Baozhu's side.

After saying all this, Yang Caiqian felt a lot more relaxed, and his complexion looked much better. He said in a very open-minded manner: "Okay, thank you both for untying the knot in my heart. Since I plan to propose to Baozhu, I would like to ask you two to do me a favor and at least let me see Baozhu."

Li Changle and the others said that there was no problem. Chen Baozhu's current mental state was not very good, and she was pregnant. In the long run, this would definitely put a great burden on her body. Moreover, Chen Baozhu had taken good care of Wang Siyi in recent years, so they naturally hoped that Chen Baozhu could be happy.

Looking back, Yang Caiqian really did love Chen Baozhu. If an ordinary person fell in love with someone like Chen Baozhu, they would either go crazy or break up. During the honeymoon period, they often didn't see each other for ten days or half a month. Who could stand it?

Yang Caiqian had no complaints in this regard and gave Chen Baozhu a lot of freedom and understanding. Although they seldom met, he would find ways to bring surprises and happiness to Chen Baozhu every time they met. In this regard, Yang Caiqian was definitely a qualified boyfriend.

And because of Chen Baozhu, Yang Caiqian is always particularly attentive when producing a new album for Wang Siyi. He strives to make every song in every album excellent and very professional.

So whether out of friendship or Chen Baozhu's personal happiness, both of them felt that they should try to bring the couple together. After all, they are not young anymore. If they really miss the opportunity, it is hard to say whether they will be able to meet someone so suitable again in the future.

On the way home, Li Changle and Wang Siyi kept discussing how to coax and deceive Chen Baozhu to come to Yang Caiqian, and they didn't finalize the plan until they got home.

"Do you think Sister Baozhu will agree?" After getting off the car, Li Changle took Wang Siyi's hand and walked leisurely on the small path in the community.

Wang Siyi pondered for a moment, then said seriously, "If someone you like proposes to you, no girl would refuse."

After listening to Wang Siyi's words, Li Changle smiled happily. Wang Siyi didn't know whether this was intentional or not, but he took it in. "I understand."

Wang Siyi rolled her eyes at Li Changle: "What do you understand?"
