Xiao Qianqian was still instructing the villagers, while Liu Yichen stood by, looking lost and dejected. When Old Man Liu, who had walked to the back, saw his grandson looking listless, he sensed something was wrong and quickly called out to him.
"Yichen, Grandpa needs to talk to you. Come over here for a moment."
When Liu Yichen heard his grandfather calling him again, he turned around and saw his grandfather winking at him. He then said to Xiao Qianqian, "Miss Xiao, my grandfather wants to see me. I'll go over there."
Xiao Qianqian was still concerned about the villagers, and vaguely said, "Okay, go ahead."
Liu Yichen helped the old man to a secluded spot. Seeing his grandson looking distracted, he patted him on the shoulder: "What's wrong? Weren't you getting along well at first? Why are you so listless all of a sudden?"
"Grandpa, I may not have a chance anymore, she's already married."
Old Liu was also shocked by the news; "Already married? This girl looks quite young, how could she be married so early?"
"Yes, that's what I think too."
When did she get married?
"Just last month." This timeframe made him feel even worse.
Looking at his handsome grandson, Old Liu couldn't help but sigh at his luck. What bad luck had befallen him? How could he have missed out by just a little bit?
"Do you know who her husband is?"
"I asked Ye Bosen, the person in charge of the Ye family."
"It's him!"
Old Liu felt even more sorry for his grandson. He had finally found the woman he loved, but she had married someone else, and to a top wealthy family in the capital. What could he say?
"This girl is too low-key."
"Well, if she doesn't say it, no one will know she's a wealthy socialite."
"So what are you thinking now?"
"Grandpa, do you think I have a chance of winning it?"
"Basically zero." Old Liu didn't want to discourage his grandson, but he knew his grandson had no chance of winning. Putting aside everything else, his grandson was no match for that person's methods.
Liu Yichen clenched his fists, looking at the old man with a determined gaze. "Grandpa, I'm not willing to give up. Even if there's only a sliver of hope, I'll try."
Old Liu sighed, "Ah, grandson, matters of the heart cannot be forced. Now that she is married, we should not disturb her life."
Liu Yichen clenched his fists. "No, Grandpa, I can't give up like this. She is the only love of my life."
Old Liu shook his head. "Then what do you plan to do? The Ye family is not to be trifled with."
Liu Yichen took a deep breath. "I know, but I have to try. I will show her my true feelings in my own way." With that, he turned and left, leaving Old Man Liu watching his retreating figure helplessly.
Sigh, he's still too young and competitive. Can matters of the heart be forced? He'd heard of that guy before; he was always focused on his career and never got close to women. So why is he suddenly married? It can't be an arranged marriage; this girl must have attracted him.
Old Liu shook his head, put his hands behind his back, and said, "If you want to try, then try. Only by experiencing hardship can you grow."
Xiao Qianqian stayed with the villagers to resolve the water source issues. After leaving his grandfather's place, Liu Yichen stayed by Xiao Qianqian's side, acting like a protector of a flower.
Knowing that the experts would be leaving soon after finishing their work, the village secretary gathered the villagers, and each family donated some of their best food. He also found several women who were good at cooking and had them slaughter chickens and sheep to prepare a big meal to thank the experts for their help.
As evening fell, a sumptuous feast was laid out on the table. The villagers gathered around to express their gratitude for the experts' hard work.
The village party secretary and the president sat at one table, a total of 13 people, which filled the table perfectly.
The village Party secretary stood up excitedly, raised his glass, and said, "Let's all raise our glasses to thank these experts for their help."
The villagers stood up, raised their glasses, and loudly expressed their gratitude.
Liu Yichen sat next to Xiao Qianqian, occasionally putting some food on her plate. The president across from them, seeing this scene, was anxious because his nephew was moving at a snail's pace and hadn't arrived yet.
As he was thinking about someone, a Maybach slowly pulled up a short distance from the yard. The door opened, and a man in a black suit stepped out. He was tall, handsome, and had an extraordinary air about him. The villagers' attention was immediately drawn to him.
Liu Yichen also looked towards the entrance of the courtyard, his pupils contracted, and he recognized the person who came. It was Xiao Qianqian's husband, Ye Bosen, the president of Ye Group. Why was he here?
Ye Bosen, with an elegant demeanor, strolled leisurely to their main table, meeting everyone's gaze.
"Excuse me, I'm here to pick up my wife." The deep, polite voice was so pleasant it could make your ears pregnant.
Xiao Qianqian was very surprised to see him. Why was he here? She stood up with a blush on her face and walked to his side.
Why are you here?
Ye Bosen saw the woman he hadn't seen in a long time and missed her terribly, but since everyone was watching, he couldn't very well give her a deep kiss or anything like that.
He stretched out his arm and pulled her into his embrace as if asserting his ownership: "I've come to take you home."
The villagers, who had been bustling with excitement just moments before, fell completely silent. They were all staring at the man who had suddenly appeared, filled with curiosity. This man was incredibly handsome, like a celebrity, even better looking than that expert Liu's grandson. His car must be very expensive, gleaming and shiny; he was clearly a big boss.
