Chapter 1200: Hidden Meaning

In front of outsiders, Qi's mother pretended to be quite approachable, especially when facing people from prominent families, she always appeared kind and friendly.

Who could imagine how many things she said to her former daughter-in-law in private that were unbecoming of her status?

"I just happened to be passing by, so I thought I'd stop by and say hello. We haven't seen each other in a long time, so I brought my daughter over to chat with you. Yao Yao also said she hasn't seen you in a long time, and she misses you a lot!"

Sun Liping walked over and took Yao Yao's hand. "Yao Yao is getting more and more beautiful. You're not young anymore, shouldn't you be looking for a boyfriend? Do you have one now?"

When asked this question, Qi Mengyao was still a little shy, after all, the person in her heart has always been Fu Yanzun.

"Auntie, please stop joking with me. I don't even have a boyfriend yet!"

"That's a real pity. A girl as wonderful as you must have many boys pursuing you."

Mother Qi sighed deeply, and said meaningfully, "She does have quite a few boys pursuing her, after all..."

Our Yaoyao is quite outstanding, it's just a pity she doesn't find anyone she likes. She's got incredibly high standards, I'm really worried she'll never be able to get married.

Sun Liping didn't catch the hidden meaning in her words. "How could that be? Yao Yao is so outstanding, she will definitely meet an equally outstanding boy."

"It's a pity that the child already has someone she loves, and there's nothing I can do about it!"

Hearing what Qi's mother said, Sun Liping became interested, as she actually had a pretty good impression of Qi Mengyao.

If Fu Yanzun had fallen for Qi Mengyao back then, she would have thought that a marriage between the two families would have been a wonderful thing.

However, since the two children were not destined to be together, it cannot be forced.

"Really? Which young master has Yao Yao fallen for? That boy must be very outstanding to have attracted our Yao Yao!"

Mother Qi sighed and said, "Of course he's outstanding! Isn't he your little Zun?"

This surprised Sun Liping a bit; she hadn't expected that Qi Mengyao's crush was Fu Yanzun.

Fu Yanzun is already married, so bringing up this topic now...

That would inevitably seem a bit awkward.

If Tang Wan'er heard this, she would probably be unhappy.

“What merits does our Yanzun possess to be likable to Yaoyao? The age gap between the two is also quite large. I have never connected the two children. Yanzun seems a bit cold and doesn’t match Yaoyao’s good personality.”

Qi Mengyao was surprised by Sun Liping's reaction and became flustered, blurting out her answer.

"How could Brother Yan Zun not be good enough for me? In my heart, he will always be the best!"

These words made Sun Liping even more embarrassed. "Yaoyao, you are indeed very good. If your aunt had known about your feelings earlier, the two of you might have had a chance. But now it's probably not possible. Yan Zun got married a few months ago. It seems that the two of you are destined to be apart."

Mother Qi pretended not to know about this, and showed a surprised expression on her face.

"Yan Zun got married. Such a big event, why didn't you tell us? Our two families are such good friends, how can we say something so important? I should at least give you a red envelope, right?"
