Chapter 729: Surprised or unexpected?

Upon hearing this, Fu Laiqing knew that Tang Ning had no objection to his relationship with Qian Qiyue. He breathed a sigh of relief, a smile plastered on his face: "Go ahead and hit me. It's not the first time anyway. Besides, Ah Yue is tough on the outside but soft on the inside. Even if it's just brotherly love, she can't be willing to beat me to death, right?"

Tang Ning: “…”

That makes so much sense, I’m speechless.

"You're quite open-minded." Tang Ning said, "You like Sister A Yue, but she doesn't know how to respond. Are you sure you won't regret it in the long run?"

One-sided efforts may not last long, and long-term unrequited love will inevitably lead to resentment in the future.

Fu Laiqing knew what she was worried about when he heard her words. He said frankly, "What are you regretting? I don't want her to marry anyone else. Even if she never becomes enlightened, it's my own fault."

He will do his best to be nice to Qian Qiyue so that she will fall in love with him one day.

What's more, he believed in Qian Qiyue's character. She would either remain ignorant of what love was in her entire life, or even if she did, she would never fall in love with anyone else and ruin their marriage.

Fu Laiqing said seriously, "Don't worry, Princess. No matter what happens in the future, I will treat Ah Yue well. If one day I change my mind, even if she doesn't beat me to death, you will not forgive me."

Tang Ning looked at him for a moment: "It's good that you know."

After the two of them talked it out, Tang Ning no longer wanted to stop them.

The Qian family has been looking for a son-in-law for such a long time. Mrs. Qian and others will discuss whether the Fu family is suitable. If Fu Laiqing really lets Qian Qiyue down in the future, she will make him pay.

After Tang Ning talked to Fu Laiqing for a few words, Fu Laiqing said goodbye and left.

When she returned to Qiwuyuan, she saw Qian Qiyue fiddling with a table full of oil-paper bags, her whole body radiating joy and excitement.

"Tang Ning, where have you been?"

Seeing her come back, Qian Qiyue asked hurriedly.

"I went out for a walk." Tang Ning looked at the things on the table: "What are these?"

"Fu Laiqing brought some snacks from Xijue Tower. Come and take a look."

Qian Qiyue smiled and waved Tang Ning over. After opening the oil-paper package, she handed her a piece of cloud cake. "Fu Laiqing is a kind-hearted guy. I just bought you sweet cakes a few times before, and he remembered them all and bought you the ones you like."

Tang Ning took a look and said meaningfully: "He is indeed very thoughtful."

There was no way Fu Laiqing would remember her preferences. He probably thought that these were Qian Qiyue's favorite foods, so he remembered them so clearly.

Tang Ning sat across from Qian Qiyue, took a bite of the cloud cake in his hand, looked at the cheerful Qian Qiyue and asked, "What good thing happened to you that makes you so happy?"

Qian Qiyue said mysteriously, "What a great news! I'm getting married."

Tang Ning: “…”

Even if I had known it earlier, I would still remain silent when I saw her like this.

"Why don't you ask me who I'm going to marry?" Qian Qiyue muttered.

Tang Ning was helpless: "With whom?"

"Follow Fu Laiqing!"

Qian Qiyue looked "surprised" and "unexpected". Before Tang Ning could speak, she reiterated what she had said to Fu Laiqing before, and then smiled so hard that her eyebrows were not visible:

"Isn't this a coincidence? He wants to find a wife, and I want to find an in-law."

"My mother has been so worried about my marriage lately that her hair has turned white. She has been choosing and choosing but can't find a good one. The ones she has chosen are not as good as Fu Laiqing. We are just making do with our lives anyway, so it's better to find someone familiar."

Qian Qiyue said with a smile:

"Fu Laiqing has a good temper, is ambitious, considerate and capable."

"We know each other so well, it won't be awkward to get along after I get married. He also promised me that after we get married, he won't confine me to the backyard. I'll be the one making the decisions in the mansion. Whatever I did before, I'll be able to do in the future."

"Do you think this is a blessing from God?"

Tang Ning was silent for a moment: "Aren't you afraid that he will cheat on you? What he said before marriage may not count after marriage."

"That can't be."

Qian Qiyue said without hesitation, "Fu Laiqing isn't the type to go back on his word. He's been with Cao Gong since he was little, and he's honest and has no evil intentions. Besides, we got married to make do with each other, so why would he lie to me?"

Tang Ning listened to Qian Qiyue chattering about Fu Laiqing's good points. She praised Fu Laiqing one sentence after another, her eyes sparkling, and there was a closeness between their words that she herself did not realize.

Tang Ning seemed to be thinking about something, maybe this "big brother" Fu Laiqing was not just wishful thinking.

Qian Qiyue bit into her sweet-scented osmanthus cheese and said incoherently, "Tang Ning, what do you think about this?"

Tang Ning said, "If you're just looking for someone to live with, the Fu family is small and has a good family tradition. Aside from Madam Fu and her family being a bit troublesome, there's nothing else to worry about. Fu Laiqing is indeed a good candidate."

"Right, I think he's suitable too." Qian Qiyue was immediately happy to get the approval: "Then I'll tell my mother later."

"No rush."

Tang Ning stopped her: "Since Fu Laiqing said he would come to propose marriage, you don't have to worry about it. Although you two have discussed it, you still have to follow the proper etiquette of the Fu family. Let them come to propose marriage. The matters of marriage are handled by your aunt and others. You can speak to her when she comes to ask for your opinion."

“还有，你如果当真愿意嫁给傅来庆，就别提他给你玉玦的事情，还有你们二人商议的这些也别叫人知道，否则小心伯母揍你。”

Everyone knows how much the Qian family dotes on Qian Qiyue, especially Qian Baokun, who truly treats her like a treasure.

If he knew how that wild piglet Fu Laiqing "tricked" his juicy cabbages, he would have beaten Fu Laiqing until he had a black eye and a swollen face.

You still want to marry Qian Qiyue? You’re dreaming.

Qian Qiyue quickly said, "I know, I'm not stupid!"

Tang Ning glanced at her when he heard that, and couldn't help but pinch Qian Qiyue's face.

He's not stupid at all. He was so fooled that he didn't even realize he was selling or changing something.

Qian Qiyue's cheek was pinched and she immediately muttered: "It hurts..."

Tang Ning let go: "Eat cake."

Qian Qiyue had resolved her most pressing issue, and with Zhou Yuchang also recovered, she looked refreshed. She stuffed a piece of sweet cake into her mouth and asked Tang Ning, "Tang Ning, are you still going back to the palace today?"

Tang Ning shook her head: "No, my brother is busy with court affairs, and the Empress Dowager's condition has stabilized. I can stay outside the palace for a few days."

Qian Qiyue was immediately delighted: "That's great."

Tang Ning said, "I'll stay at the Rong residence for the next few days and bring A'ru over later. I haven't seen her for a long time."

Qian Qiyue quickly stood up: "I'll go answer it!"

"Just be quiet and let Yuejian go to pick her up. After eating the cake, take a rest. Your eyes are as dry as a rabbit's." Tang Ning pushed the person back onto the couch.

Qian Qiyue muttered: "How can it look like a rabbit..."

Is there any rabbit as cute as her?
