Su Jinli looked at Si Yan's serious expression and couldn't help but smile and shook her head. "This kid, all he does is think about his bookstore. But it's comforting to have such ambition." She turned to look at Jiang Yan and said, "Do you think Nianli really has no feelings for the Duke of Zhenguo?"
Jiang Yan frowned slightly, and after thinking for a moment, he said, "Don't you understand Nianli's personality? If she doesn't like it, she will definitely not give it a chance. However, I'm afraid the Prince of Zhenguo will not give up easily."
Just as Jiang Yan had expected, a few days later, the Prince of Zhenguo personally arrived at the Jiang residence. He was dressed in a gorgeous brocade robe, a jade crown on his head, and holding a bouquet of beautiful flowers in his hands, trying to show his most gentle and sincere side.
After the servants of the Jiang Mansion informed them, Jiang Yan and Su Jinli hurried to the living room to greet them. Seeing Jiang Yan and his wife, the Prince of Zhenguo hurriedly bowed and said, "Master Jiang, Madam Jiang, I have the audacity to come here because I want to express my feelings to Miss Nianli in person."
Jiang Yan looked at the Prince of Zhenguo and said, "Prince, Nianli is a straightforward child. I hope you won't be offended."
The Prince of Zhenguo quickly said, "Lord Jiang, you are too kind. Miss Nianli has a straightforward personality, which is exactly what I admire."
At this time, Nian Li learned that the Prince of Zhenguo had arrived and also came to the living room. When she saw the Prince of Zhenguo, she frowned and said, "What are you doing here? I already said that I will not marry."
The Prince of Zhenguo hurried forward and said, "Miss Nianli, I know my proposal is a bit abrupt, but I really like you. These past few days, I have been unable to sleep day and night, my mind is full of your image. I hope you can give me a chance to prove my feelings."
Nian Li looked at the Prince of Zhenguo, her eyes full of doubt: "You said you like me? But I don't have any feelings for you at all. You can't force feelings."
Upon hearing this, the Prince of Zhenguo felt a pang of pain in his heart, but he still refused to give up and said, "Miss Nianli, I am willing to wait until the day you can accept me."
Nian Li shook her head helplessly and said, "Why are you doing this?"
Jiang Yan and Su Jinli watched this scene from the side, feeling somewhat emotional. Jiang Yan said, "Prince, love is something that cannot be forced. But if you really like Nianli, why not start by being friends and get to know her better?"
After hearing this, the Prince of Zhenguo nodded and said, "Master Jiang is right. I understand."
From then on, the prince of the Zhenguo Duke would come to the Jiang Mansion every now and then, either giving small gifts or inviting Nianli out for fun. At first, Nianli ignored him, but gradually, moved by the prince of the Zhenguo Duke's sincerity, Nianli's attitude softened.
Si Yan, on the other hand, was still busy with his bookstore business. Not only did he use the 900 taels of silver to expand the bookstore according to his plan, he also came up with some novel business strategies, which made the bookstore's business better and better.
Despite the betrothal gift controversy, the Jiang family's life remains filled with joy and laughter. Jiang Yan watches his children gradually grow up on their own paths, feeling a surge of satisfaction. He knows that the days ahead may bring challenges, but as long as the family works together, nothing is insurmountable. And the Jiang family's story will continue to unfold in this mundane world, blossoming with a unique brilliance.
