It was lunchtime, and everyone started eating lunch.
The villagers brought their food and ate in groups of two or three.
Because we didn't set up a separate table for the meal.
The Pan family didn't make any special arrangements; they simply brought their food and sat down in a corner of the courtyard to eat.
They did this because they were afraid the villagers would gossip, so they preferred to do it this way.
They would only eat with Yu Chengyuan and his group at night, because the villagers would all go home at night.
Wang Chunyan and Pan Qiufeng found a shady spot to eat.
Now that they've set a date and are practically husband and wife, there's no need for them to avoid suspicion, and no one will say anything.
What happened today did not affect their work progress; they were still working quite hard.
Pan Qiufeng acted as if nothing had happened; as long as his wife didn't give up on her ideas, he wasn't afraid of anything.
On the contrary, Wang Chunyan was somewhat worried about Qin Xiaoyu, after all, she had been forced to break off the engagement.
Marriages were arranged by parents and matchmakers; this was the norm in most families.
Just like her back then, her marriage was arranged by her older brother and sister-in-law, and her parents agreed.
If that alcoholic hadn't died of alcohol poisoning, she probably would have spent her whole life with a man like that!
Otherwise, I wouldn't have such a happy time today, and I wouldn't have met such a good man as Brother Qiufeng.
Therefore, she could understand Qin Xiaoyu's decision back then.
"Brother Qiufeng, do you still hate Qin Xiaoyu?"
Wang Chunyan asked.
Pan Qiufeng paused in his actions, raised his head, looked at Wang Chunyan with gentle eyes, and said, "It would be a lie to say I don't hate her. When she broke off the engagement, it felt like someone had stabbed me in the heart, and it took me a long time to recover."
That is, the two years I told you about when I was depressed.
If my cousin Chengyuan hadn't given me a good scolding, I would still be wallowing in self-pity.
And now that I've met you, I'm slowly letting go of those past things.
"She explained those things to me today, and I feel more and more at ease."
The hatred I felt back then has completely vanished.
But this also precisely illustrates one point: she and I were destined to be apart; you are my final destiny.
Pan Qiufeng's words were frank and sincere.
Wang Chunyan smiled gently, her eyes full of tenderness. "Brother Qiufeng, Xiaoyu is actually a girl with a hard life. Her mother always favors her own family, so she probably doesn't have a good time at home."
Judging from her mother's appearance today, it's clear that she must have given Xiaoyu a lot of trouble on a daily basis.
And the choice she faced back then must have been incredibly difficult for her.
I hope she can meet a man who truly treats her well.
Wang Chunyan said sincerely.
Pan Qiufeng nodded, "Yes, seeing her like that just now, I felt a little bad too. No matter what, she is a friend I watched grow up with."
But feelings can't be forced. Right now, you're the only one in my heart. Let's live a good life together from now on.
And I hope, as you said, that she can find her own happiness in the future.
As he spoke, he reached out and gently brushed the stray hairs from Wang Chunyan's ear.
"Your hair is about to fall into the bowl."
Pan Qiufeng explained.
Wang Chunyan's cheeks flushed slightly as she said, "Oh, thank you, Brother Qiufeng."
Wang Chunyan lowered her head, but couldn't help but smile, clearly feeling very sweet inside.
After finishing his meal, Pan Qiufeng stood up and said, "Chunyan, it's still early. Why don't you go home and get some sleep for half an hour?"
"There are only men here, you can't really rest properly."
"Brother Qiufeng, what about you?"
"I can just sit there and take a nap, and then I can start work early."
Men can rest easily without the inconveniences that women experience.
"Alright then! I'm going home to sleep now."
Wang Chunyan nodded and left the courtyard.
Wang Chunyan saw Qin Xiaoyu as soon as she stepped out of the courtyard gate, and she was initially surprised.
He then said apologetically, "Qin Xiaoyu, if you've come to persuade me to quit, I'm sorry, I won't quit."
Unless Brother Qiufeng doesn't like me anymore and doesn't want me anymore.
I'm sorry, I can't give up on him.
Qin Xiaoyu quickly waved her hand and said sincerely, "Chunyan, you've misunderstood me!"
I'm not here to cause you trouble, nor to break up your relationship, and I certainly don't have any intention of stealing your fiancé.
Please don't think of me as that wicked woman. I've come here sincerely to apologize to you.
Wang Chunyan was slightly taken aback, her eyes filled with confusion: "Apologize? Apologize for what?"
Qin Xiaoyu took a deep breath and slowly said, "Although my mother was partly responsible for pushing things out of the engagement, I ultimately agreed to it."
Also, I'm not such a sentimental person, and I didn't specifically wait for Brother Qiufeng for two years.
There are several reasons why I haven't been successful in blind dates in the past two years, but I won't go into detail about them.
I shouldn't have kept it from you, never told you the truth, and deceived you.
As for why I fabricated this lie to deceive you, I believe you already know the answer in your heart.
So I've come here specifically to apologize to you, hoping you can forgive me.
She paused, her eyes full of anticipation, and continued, "Chunyan, I sincerely hope that we can become good friends."
I hope you can forgive me this time. Is that possible?
