Li Xiyue smiled and said, "You should go to sleep early too. See you tomorrow."

"See you tomorrow."

As Chu Xun stepped out of his room, he felt burning hot all over. Just as he was about to go back inside to take a cold shower, he ran into Quan Yicheng.

"Shall we have another drink, you two?" Quan Yicheng asked, holding up a bottle of wine.

The little rascal started the fire but wasn't responsible for putting it out. Chu Xun knew he wouldn't be able to sleep for a while, so he agreed.

The two went up to the rooftop, each opened a bottle of wine, and started drinking.

"Brother Xun, I'm so happy for you. You've finally found your other half."

Thinking of Li Xiyue, Chu Xun's heart softened, and he couldn't help but smile. At this moment, he was truly happy.

"And you? How are things with Xie Mingying?" Chu Xun recalled that he didn't get back until late at night on Yueyue's birthday. "Did something happen between you two on your sister-in-law's birthday?"

Quan Yicheng smiled bitterly, "She was drunk, and she kept talking nonsense to me, and wouldn't let me go home."

"Then why did you come back later?"

"I stayed up with her until midnight, then took her home."

"Then what?"

Quan Yicheng took a sip of his drink. "Then she forgot everything she had said."

Chu Xun deeply understood this feeling. "Are you still going to pursue her?"

"Chase."

"Can you still catch up?"

Quan Yicheng paused for a moment, then said, "Even if I can't catch up, I will still chase after her. I've made up my mind about her for the rest of my life."

"Keep it up, bro." Chu Xun clinked bottles with him.

Quan Yicheng laughed and said, "I will."

After finishing a bottle of wine and putting out the fire, the two went back to their respective rooms to sleep.

The next morning, before Li Xiyue even got up, the first floor was already bustling with activity.

Although Old Master Chu has retired, his intricate network of relationships remains. In addition, other members of the Chu family are involved in various fields, so many people come to the Chu family to pay their respects during the New Year.

But most of them would leave after putting down their New Year's gifts and saying a few auspicious words, and then leave, one group after another, until almost noon.

Chu Xingbang did not allow Li Xiyue to come down to greet the guests, but instead had Chu Xun stay inside to talk with her. In his view, those people were not worthy of meeting his future granddaughter-in-law.

The first floor quieted down, and Li Xiyue thought no one else would come. But then, the Xie family arrived with some things.

The Xie family and the Chu family were old friends, so Li Xiyue went downstairs.

The entire Xie family arrived. After exchanging greetings, they sat down to talk and eat.

Looking at Xie Mingying chatting and laughing with Quan Yicheng, Li Xiyue thought to herself, "She seems to have changed."

Aside from greeting Chu Xun upon entering, her gaze never fell on him again, but her eyes lit up considerably when she looked at Quan Yicheng.

It seems Xie Mingying has stopped obsessing over it and finally understands that Chu Xun is not the right man for her.

The Xie family didn't stay for lunch either; they had to go somewhere else to get theirs.

After the Xie family left, Quan Yicheng was very happy and said to Chu Xun, "A Xun, I think Yingying seems to have given up on you."

"Isn't that good?" Chu Xun had also noticed Xie Mingying's change.

Li Xiyue smiled and said, "Yicheng, congratulations! You're about to see the light at the end of the tunnel."

On the way back, Xie's mother held her daughter's hand and asked, "Yingying, have you lost interest in Chu Xun?"

"Yes, Mom," Xie Mingying readily admitted.

A smile immediately appeared on Xie's mother's face. "That's great, you've finally figured it out."

"Mom, I'm sorry to have worried you. I've thought it through. Xun doesn't like me, and forcing it won't end well. Rather than creating a rift, it's better to stop now so we can at least still be friends."

Mother Xie nodded repeatedly, "Yingying, you're right to think that way. Our whole family thinks that Yicheng is more suitable for you. At least he's sincere towards you. We women should marry someone who likes us more, so that we can be happy."

Xie Mingying didn't speak. She couldn't quite describe her feelings for Quan Yicheng, but last time she was drunk, Quan Yicheng didn't take advantage of her at all, so he could be considered a gentleman.

His good character and sense of responsibility are enough to put people at ease.

If you can't find someone you like, find someone with good character and a sense of responsibility. At least he won't treat you badly after marriage.
