The family finished their lunch, each with their own thoughts.

After the meal, some washed the dishes, while others tidied up the house.

Luo Qingyuan and Duan Ye were summoned into the study by the old man and Duan Sheng.

Duan Jiancheng: "Grandpa thought that Xiaoze and Niannian would get engaged soon, and after that they would get married. They would all be done before the end of the year. Xiaoye and Qingyuan's wedding could not be delayed either."

"How about this, while Grandpa is in Kyoto, we'll go to the Luo family the day after tomorrow to set the wedding date. What do you all think?"

Luo Qingyuan and Duan Ye were both a little nervous. Naturally, they wanted to do things as quickly as possible, but this wasn't the time...

Duan Sheng glanced at them: "Just say what you have to say, don't beat around the bush."

Duan Ye sighed and said, "Qing Yuan's parents probably won't agree."

Luo Qingyuan silently lowered her head...

She wanted to offer a few words of explanation, but she realized that if you tell one lie, you have to tell countless others to cover it up.

Duan Ye gripped her hand tightly.

Duan Jiancheng: "So what are your thoughts?"

Duan Ye looked up: "Grandpa, I won't give up. I admit that marrying Luo Qingyuan back then was a bit ill-considered, but now..."

Duan Ye smiled and looked at Luo Qingyuan, saying, "We love each other very much."

Luo Qingyuan looked up at Duan Ye, her eyes filled with tenderness: "Yes, no matter what happens, I will not let go of Duan Ye's hand."

Seeing them like this, Duan Sheng felt like he'd been fed a dose of dog food for no reason.

Duan Jiancheng: "Since that's the case, then let's show our in-laws our sincerity. If once isn't enough, we'll visit a few more times. This matter..."

As he spoke, Duan Jiancheng glared at Duan Sheng: "Is it your father who's stupid? Xiao Ye is ignorant, and so are you? It's been more than half a year, and you still haven't brought the betrothal gifts to our door?"

Duan Sheng lowered his head after being scolded, and quickly admitted his mistake: "Yes, I was wrong."

Duan Ye: "This isn't my dad's fault, it's my fault..."

Duan Jiancheng: "Alright, what's done is done, so let's not talk about it anymore. Let's do it this way: we'll go to the Luo family together the day after tomorrow morning."

"Qingyuan, is everything alright on your end?"

Upon hearing her name called, Luo Qingyuan quickly replied, "No problem, Grandpa."

And so, the matter was settled.

When the four of them came out of the study, Liang Mo was already preparing to leave, but he still called Duan Ze, Shen Niannian, Duan Ye and Luo Qingyuan to chat on the balcony for a while.

Liang Mo: "The Jiang family is already preparing to close the net. It should be within the next month or two. I hope you all pay close attention to your safety and stay home as much as possible before Jiang Jingwen is caught."

After giving these words, Liang Mo prepared to leave.

Duan Ze: "Sister-in-law, you're pregnant. Can't you report these things to higher authorities and let someone else take full responsibility?"

Duan Ye: "Sister-in-law, why don't you move in with us? Having more people in the house will allow us to take better care of you. If you stay at your workplace, it's inevitable..."

Liang Mo waved his hand: "I've been pursuing the Jiang family for a long time, and I'm the one who needs to take control of the situation. Don't worry, I have many people protecting me, nothing will happen."

After saying that, Liang Mo walked out, but after taking two steps, he turned back and said, "If... you hear any news about your older brother, remember to tell me."

Liang Mo is gone.

Shen Niannian instantly leaned weakly against Duan Ze, muttering, "Does the Jiang family really need to be so wary?"

Duan Ze and Duan Ye didn't speak, but they both knew the answer.

worth.

After all, Jiang Jingwen is not a real businessman. He has at least several hundred mercenaries under his command, and there are countless other forces behind Old Master Jiang.

Now that we've all gathered in Kyoto, we're not afraid of the worst-case scenario.

The Duan family members will not let their guard down easily.

They all hoped to eliminate the Jiang family with minimal cost, or rather, without any loss.

Duan Ze remained silent for a while before saying, "Niannian, starting tomorrow, I'll pick you up from get off work every day."

Shen Niannian, who was carefree, was overjoyed upon hearing this, feeling like she could fly: "Great, great, you're finally going to be more affectionate towards me, right?"

Duan Ye and Luo Qingyuan fell silent, holding hands, and quietly left to make room for them.

Duan Ze's ears turned red from her teasing, and he couldn't help but pinch her cheek in annoyance: "Chen Niannian, as her sister-in-law, can't you learn from Qing Yuan and be more composed? You never know when to speak!"

Shen Niannian has a thick skin; she doesn't feel anything is wrong at all, and her eyes are sparkling.

"But my brother clearly likes her too. Besides, Qingyuan isn't just anyone."

Shen Niannian didn't say that was only the Luo Qingyuan on the surface. Besides her, probably only Duan Ye knew how wild that girl was. Compared to Shen Niannian, she was probably even more outrageous.

Duan Ze had a headache, and Chen Nian Nian pouted, wanting to kiss him.

Duan Ze covered her mouth with a slap.

"Stop fooling around!"

Shen Niannian then smiled and nodded.

Duan Ze warned her, "I'm letting you go. If you keep talking nonsense, I won't take you home next time."

Shen Nian Nian nodded obediently.

As soon as Duan Ze let go, Shen Niannian leaned over and kissed him on the cheek before quickly retreating, lifting her skirt and running away as fast as she could.

Shen Niannian: "Mom, where are you? I'll come and talk to you."

Ding Yifen was washing fruit in the kitchen when she heard Shen Niannian's voice and replied, "You sit outside, Mom will be here soon."

Chen Niannian ran happily to the kitchen, calling "Mom" so fluently.

Duan Ze stood there stunned for a while, then couldn't help but smile slightly.

Ding Xiaohe suddenly appeared while biting into an apple: "Big cousin, you and your wife are very sweet together."

Duan Ze coughed lightly, then his face turned cold: "Children shouldn't pry into adults' affairs."

After saying that, Duan Ze put his hands in his pockets and left.

Ding Xiaohe smiled meaningfully: "You're even shy about saying it..."

Duan Ze heard it, but didn't turn around, not wanting to argue with a little brat.

Ding Xiaohe sighed, "The couples in my family have such good relationships; this is what it means to support each other through thick and thin."

She's already looking forward to having a boyfriend in the future.

The family spent the whole day chatting and laughing at home. After dinner, everyone prepared to go home.

Before leaving, Duan Sheng handed the keys to the new house to Duan Ye.

Duan Ye also took the opportunity to mention that he had moved and invited everyone to come over for dinner the next night.

Duan Sheng: "Your mother and I both have to go back to school tomorrow to give open classes to the children, so we don't have time to eat. Here, take the keys to the new house."

At this moment, Ding Yifen was also talking to Luo Qingyuan.

Duan Sheng seized the opportunity to pull Duan Ye aside: "Whether you live in this house or not, you should keep the key. After all, your family backgrounds are too different from Qing Yuan's. If in the future..."

"If anything unexpected happens, you'll have your own way out."

Duan Ye was taken aback, then laughed: "Dad, Qingyuan and I will never have that day."
