He and Cen Huan were also saddened by the loss of their prospective daughter-in-law.

Over the years, no one has mentioned the engagement again, simply because they don't want to cause Qiao Yanzhi any more pain and heartache.

After recounting what happened twenty-one years ago, Huo Ting said, "Now that Grape has returned, the agreement from back then naturally cannot be voided. What wrong have I done?"

Qiao Yanzhi: "..."

He had started the call with a fit of anger, but now he felt deflated.

How could she tell Huo Ting that Yao'er had already taken a liking to her fourth son?

After a long silence, he finally said, "Has Linfeng not dated anyone all these years?"

Huo Ting didn't hesitate for a second: "No."

Qiao Yanzhi frowned, feeling that things were getting increasingly difficult, and asked, "How do you know?"

“From a young age, his family told Linfeng that his future wife would be the daughter of the Fu family. This idea was already deeply ingrained in his mind, so how could he possibly date someone else?”

"But we all thought the grapes were already..."

Huo Ting interrupted her seriously: "Yan Zhi, you said it yourself, it's what we thought, and your child, including my child, just thought that if Grape was taken away, we would definitely find it."

Upon hearing this, Qiao Yanzhi's face paled slightly, and a fleeting look of paleness crossed her eyes.

This is also a pain in her heart.

Huo Ting was right; in the hearts of these elders, grapes were indeed dead.

However, the children all thought she was still alive, and now, Grape is indeed still alive.

After the incident involving grapes, the matter was not discussed in detail, and the agreement made at that time was indeed not nullified.

"Have Linfeng really been waiting for Grape to return all these years?"

Huo Ting nodded: "Mm."

Because of a promise he made when he was a child, he has come to regard Fu Siya as a part of his life.

When Lin Feng graduated from university at the age of twenty-three, he couldn't tell him that the person he was waiting for was dead, and that he would never see him again.

The only way I could talk to him was to tell him that she might be doing well in another city, or that she might be in a relationship, married, or even have a child. So I told him not to wait for me anymore.

At that time, Huo Linfeng said to him:

Wait another seven years.

When I turn thirty, I won't wait any longer.

We've waited twenty-one years already, what's a little longer? Perhaps she'll come back.

Now, two years have passed since the seven-year promise was made. As Lin Feng said, she really came back, and he waited for her just as he had said.

As a father, he had witnessed his son's many years of waiting and naturally hoped that they could be together.

It was with this in mind that I posted that kind of Weibo post.

Huo Linfeng was also Qiao Yanzhi's godson, and for a moment, he felt a mix of emotions: "This child..."

Thinking of these things, Huo Ting felt a little melancholy. He then said, "Lin Feng doesn't know that Grape is back yet, but he will find out about what happened on Weibo sooner or later. As for their arranged marriage, find a suitable time to tell her."

"Can……"

Qiao Yanzhi paused for a moment, but still forced herself to speak: "Yao'er is already in a relationship, how can I break them up?"

Huo Ting's voice was noticeably deeper as he asked, "Who is she dating?"

"Your godson, Xiao Jinhan."

Huo Ting: "..."

Qiao Yanzhi knew that this was unfair to the Huo family and Huo Linfeng, but it wasn't Yao'er's fault either.

It can only be said that fate plays tricks on people.

At this moment, Huo Ting's silence made her feel vaguely uneasy.
