"Even if I like you as much as I do, my upbringing won't allow me to do anything involving myself with a married man. Even if you're not married yet, but just have a girlfriend or a fiancée, even if she's arranged by your family and you have no feelings for her, I can't possibly have anything more than a friendship with you."

It’s not that we don’t interact, it’s just that the relationship can’t go beyond friendship.

If Tan Mo was here, he would be able to understand what Yuan Keqing meant.

If we don’t communicate, won’t we have no chance?

Maintain an ambiguous relationship with Wei Keli as a friend.

Whether it’s Wei Keli’s girlfriend or fiancée, if they are unhappy, they can come over.

Yuan Keqing could still pretend to be innocent, saying that she and Wei Keli were just friends and that the other party had misunderstood her.

She hadn't thought about doing anything to Wei Keli, let alone destroying them.

If the other party still insists, then it is their fault.

At that time, Wei Keli would only feel more distressed for Yuan Keqing, thinking that his girlfriend was being unreasonable.

What good can come of these two people who don't have much affection for each other in the first place?

As for his wife?

How could Yuan Keqing let Wei Keli get to the point of getting married?

Wei Keli could have broken up long before they got married.

Didn’t Yuan Keqing do the same in her previous life?

Only Wei Keli was deeply moved when he heard Yuan Keqing's words.

"Keqing, you are much better than Tan Mo." Wei Keli still held Yuan Keqing's hand tightly, "Tan Mo is not as upright as you."

Otherwise, how could she do such a thing as keeping him hanging while having an affair with Wei Zhiqian?

"Keqing, it's my fault. I like you, but I can't tell you because of Tan Mo." Wei Keli said this after careful consideration.

His current situation is that only his family knows about his own affairs.

He really has no status in the Wei family.

I'm going to Nacheng to work and I don't know when I can come back.

It is absolutely impossible to marry into a family of the same level as the Tan family.

He has no status and no real power in the Wei family.

Not to mention someone of Tan Jia's level, anyone who is pleasing to his parents or himself may not necessarily be satisfied with him.

Wei Keli was still quite self-aware at this time.

It seems that Yuan Keqing still doesn't know about his situation in the Wei family.

However, in his opinion.

Yuan Keqing loves him so deeply that she wouldn't mind even if she knew.

Yuan Keqing is not the kind of person like Tan Mo.

And the Yuan family is doing well now.

Although he is not as good as the Tan family, considering his current situation, it is already a rare opportunity for him to marry into the Yuan family.

Wei Keli knew that he had to catch Yuan Keqing now.

After losing Yuan Keqing, it will be difficult to find such a good opportunity and such a suitable person again.

Moreover, if he had the support of the Yuan family, he could also come back from Nacheng.

Didn’t the old lady say that he could come back and start his own business?

With the Yuan family and his parents' resources, he can definitely come back to City B and develop well.

It doesn’t matter even if I don’t have the Wei family’s resources.

Not all of his parents’ resources came from the Wei family.

He used his family's resources, but that didn't count as using the Wei family's resources.

Thinking of this, Wei Keli held Yuan Keqing's hand even tighter.

"It's just that I didn't know you liked me too." Wei Keli said it as if it were true. "In my heart, you are a very gentle girl who understands me very well. Your gentleness, your thoughtfulness, and your encouragement make me like you more and more. But because Tan Mo is here, I can't express my love to you."

"I can only like you secretly. I take the opportunity of being friends with you to get close to you, but I can't confess my feelings to you." Wei Keli said.

Yuan Keqing was moved by what she heard and her heart beat rapidly.

It turned out that Wei Keli had always had a crush on her.

People like Wei Keli are secretly in love with her, which really satisfies Yuan Keqing's vanity.

Yuan Keqing couldn't help but think angrily that it was Tan Mo who had been hindering them all along.

Otherwise, she and Wei Keli would have been together a long time ago.

Wei Keli gently stroked the back of Yuan Keqing's hand with his thumb. "Now that I'm free from the shackles of Tan Mo, I can finally speak out."

"Keqing, let's be together." Wei Keli said affectionately, "I don't want to marry anyone else except you."

"Brother Keli..."

*

The Tan family doesn't know yet that Yuan Keqing thinks she has defeated Tan Mo and that Wei Keli has always liked her.

Wei Keli told Wei Zhijian and Li Xiangrong about his relationship with Yuan Keqing and his plans.

After hearing this, Wei Zhijian and Li Xiangrong felt that their son was not really hopeless.

This time, it was handled beautifully.

Because Yuan Keqing always chased after Wei Keli in the past, and Tan Mo was there at that time, Li Xiangrong disliked Yuan Keqing very much.

At the same time, it can also be seen that this girl has bad intentions.

For this reason, she also paid attention to the Yuan family.

But later, the Yuan family also began to emerge.

Li Xiangrong also knew that Yuan Yi did a good job.

Although she still disliked Yuan Keqing's scheming, she could not rely on Tan Mo after all.

Given Wei Keli's current situation, he can't expect anyone else to help him.

Only Yuan Keqing took the initiative to show up.

Still have to hold on tightly.

So what if you are so scheming?

After all, I am young, have seen little, and lack experience.

Li Xiangrong is confident that he can deal with Yuan Keqing.

She guarantees that Yuan Keqing will not be able to do anything in her hands.

Hasn't Yuan Keqing had feelings for Wei Keli since childhood?

Now that I finally got what I wanted, I should give more to love.

Except for Wei Keli's family, no one else in the Wei family knew that Wei Keli had set his sights on the Yuan family.

The Tan family, Wei Mingwen's family, and the two elders all gathered in the restaurant of the old house without knowing anything.

This is a small family dinner.

To discuss engagement.

Before I knew it, the discussion went from whether to get engaged to how to get engaged.

Because Wei Zhiqian’s Weibo and Moments posts last night have directly confirmed the engagement.

The Tan family did not make any more futile struggles.

I heard the old lady mention holding an engagement party.

Tan Mo said, "Didn't we already buy the ring?"

"How can it be the same?" the old lady said, "Do you want to keep it low-key, or even not do it at all?"

Looking at Tan Mo's expression, the old lady knew she was right.

The old lady turned around and criticized Wei Zhiqian, "Mo Mo doesn't like trouble, how could you agree to this? You're so low-key, who would know? If we don't hold an engagement party, people will think we don't value Mo Mo, and that you don't care about Mo Mo. What if those snobs start looking down on Mo Mo? And there are some women who have feelings for you and happen to have no moral values. Even though they know you have a fiancée, they still keep trying to get close to you."

"Some even thought that since you didn't make it public, they thought you didn't value Mo Mo, and they felt they had an opportunity to take advantage of you."
