"Oh, it's Linglong. Please sit down for a while. I'll get the medicine first and then we can talk."
Seeing that it was her niece, Zhang Jingran told her to play by herself for a while and continued with her own business.
Xie Linglong nodded, obediently found a place to sit down, and then secretly glanced at Chen Suwen.
I lost interest after watching for a while.
At this moment, a tall figure walked in. When Xie Linglong saw him, her expression changed and became somewhat unpleasant.
"Aunt Chen, you're here too?" Qin Feng was a little surprised to see Chen Suwen. "Why are you at the pharmacy getting medicine? Is someone in your family sick?"
Although I initially visited the Zhou family at the request of my cousin's comrade-in-arms.
However, Qin Feng got along very well with Chen Suwen, and with her advice, his relationship with Bai Huirou became less tense, and his affection for Chen Suwen increased dramatically.
Qin Feng planned to give Bai Huirou some time to think things over, and intended to stay a while longer before returning to Beijing for the Spring Festival.
I never expected that today, due to the matchmaking efforts of my elders, I would meet Chen Suwen while out with the daughter of a family friend.
"Comrade Qin Feng, I didn't expect to meet you here." Chen Suwen greeted him with a smile, "Handsome guy, what brings you here?"
She glanced at Qin Feng, then at Xie Linglong.
The little girl hadn't quite controlled her emotions yet, and her indignant expression when she saw Qin Feng was very noticeable.
Chen Suwen was very curious. Could it be that Qin Feng realized there was no possibility between him and Bai Huirou, and turned to this young girl instead?
Qin Feng understood Chen Suwen's meaning and quickly shook his head, "No, no, no, Comrade Xie Linglong is the younger sister of a family with whom we have a long-standing friendship."
He genuinely treated Xie Linglong like a younger sister and never considered developing a romantic relationship with her.
The person he wanted to marry had always been Comrade Bai Huirou.
Chen Suwen nodded, half believing and half doubting.
"Qin Feng, what do you mean? Don't think that just because you're from Beijing, you can bully Linglong."
"Your betrothal to Linglong was arranged by the Qin and Xie families when you were young. How can you say that there's nothing between you and Linglong?"
"Are you still thinking about that widow?"
"What's so good about that widow? She's married with children, but she's a widow without a husband. How could she be worthy of you?"
Before Qin Feng and Xie Linglong could speak, another person stepped into the pharmacy and immediately made his statement.
Even Chen Suwen found the words spoken unpleasant to hear.
What happened to the widow?
Although Bai Huirou is a widow, she is young and beautiful, has the ability to earn money, is talented and has a good life. What's wrong with her?
Can't widows pursue love?
Does being a widow preclude her from attracting the affections of outstanding men?
The person who came later really spoke rudely.
Xie Linglong: "A childhood betrothal? I'm eighteen, and Qin Feng is twenty-nine. There's an eleven-year age gap between us. How could we possibly have a childhood betrothal?"
"Old men, stay away! I'm young and beautiful, and I have no intention of offering myself to an old man."
Qin Lao Niu Feng: "..."
"Linglong, that's not how you put it. The marriage between the Xie family and the Qin family was arranged by Grandpa and the others."
The newcomer looked at Xie Linglong disapprovingly, "It's Qin Feng's good fortune to marry you. Does he really want to abandon you and marry that widow who has lost her husband?"
"Watch your mouth, stop spewing nonsense." Qin Feng looked at the man who had spoken with a dark face. "I thought the Xie family's sons were cultured people, but I didn't expect you to be belittling others at every turn."
"What? You can only show your 'nobility' by belittling others?"
"A marriage between the Xie and Qin families? Wasn't that just something the two families' grandfathers talked about? Has the marriage been formally arranged? Have the two families exchanged tokens of affection?"
"Besides, the Qin family has more than one child, and your Xie family has more than one child, Xie Linglong. How did it become that Xie Linglong and I are betrothed as children?"
Qin Feng was truly baffled. Even if the Qin family and the Xie family had arranged a marriage, it didn't mean it had to be him and Xie Linglong.
Just as she said, they are eleven years apart in age, so why do they have to be involved?
