Nangong Jue was very courteous, offering toasts to every table, until finally reaching the last table, the one where Zhou Mei was.
Everyone hurriedly stood up to congratulate him, but most of them still hoped that Nangong Jue would treat Alan well, otherwise, the whole village would not let him off the hook.
Nangong Jue responded to each of their questions and assured them that everyone would be very satisfied.
Cao Chunying stared at Nangong Jue, her eyes practically glazed over. This man was handsome from afar, but he was even more handsome up close. If she were the one marrying him…
Zhou Mei naturally noticed Cao Chunying's unusual behavior and quickly stepped on her under the table.
Cao Chunying snapped back to reality, realizing that she had been staring intently and had noticed Nangong Jue's disgusted gaze. She quickly looked away, inwardly regretting her loss of composure at this moment. She glanced at Han Xiangdong, only to find that he hadn't even looked at her, which made her feel a little annoyed.
"To the east," an old woman couldn't help but ask, "This Miss Cao said she came for you, is she your boyfriend?"
Cao Chunying suddenly looked up. This old woman, how could she talk so fast? She hurriedly looked at Han Xiangdong pleadingly, hoping he would acquiesce, otherwise…
"Miss Cao?" Han Xiangdong frowned at Cao Chunying, then smiled. "Oh, I remember now. She went on a blind date once, but Miss Cao said the matchmaker was a complete rip-off. How could a girl from a small county, a primary school teacher, go on a blind date with a country bumpkin like me? It was such a disgrace to her..."
Everyone immediately looked constipated.
Cao Chunying's expression immediately changed. No, that wasn't what she said.
"Fifth Aunt, it's not like we can't find a wife. Let's take a look and see if it's not a good match. If it's not suitable, then let it go." Han Xiangdong looked at Cao Chunying. "I don't even know why she came. She's caused everyone to misunderstand."
"I..." Cao Chunying forcefully suppressed her discomfort, clinging to her last glimmer of hope, "I was just talking nonsense back then. I later realized we were quite compatible, I..."
"I'm sorry, I don't think it's appropriate." Han Xiangdong refused directly, then looked at Nangong Jue, "Brother-in-law, after we've finished toasting, let's go back."
Nangong Jue nodded.
"Han Xiangdong, I really think we're a good match. Anyway, you don't have a girlfriend right now, so why don't you..."
"Just because I don't have a boyfriend, does that mean I have to have you?" Han Xiangdong frowned. "You take yourself way too seriously."
"No, what I mean is, since you don't have a boyfriend, we could try getting to know each other, maybe..."
"Who said he doesn't have a boyfriend?" Just then, a girl walked over and grabbed Han Xiangdong's arm. "Hey, you woman, why are you trying to steal someone else's boyfriend in public? Is someone else's boyfriend just so much more appealing?"
The commotion here has already attracted everyone's attention.
Zhou Yulan was even excited, pulling Le Yao over as well: "Nie Baozhen is here, is she going to have a showdown with Cao Chunying?"
Le Yao looked at the girl who was clinging to her brother's arm. She had thick eyebrows and big eyes, and her skin was indeed a shade darker than normal. But this was the most popular tan color back then, how healthy!
"Who are you?" Cao Chunying frowned.
“My name is Nie Baozhen. I’m your childhood sweetheart, Xiang Dong, and we’re dating now.” Nie Baozhen spoke crisply.
Everyone immediately showed a gossipy expression.
