It is said that Xie Zhan is an approachable and helpful person, which is true. It is also true that Xie Zhan is a family man who respects his elders.
It seems that all the virtues of the world can be found in him, and no one can find fault with him. Even his enemies would say that he is a respectable opponent.
And it is precisely this perfection that makes him seem like a saint who does not exist in this world.
He was so perfect that it took endless courage to stand beside him.
Feng Guang finally understood why he was approaching thirty and still unmarried, with no one he truly loved. If a woman couldn't be perfect, then in his eyes, she was no different from the people he had once saved.
Perhaps in his eyes, there is only the distinction between outsiders and family.
Seeing that Feng Guang remained silent for a long time and noticed that her expression was off, Xie Zhan bent down slightly and asked with concern, "What's wrong, Feng Guang?"
“It’s nothing…” Feng Guang lowered his head and remained silent.
She suddenly lost confidence that she could make this man fall in love with her.
Did I make you angry again?
"No... I'm not angry." She lowered her head and didn't look at him, but her sullen voice betrayed her bad mood.
Xie Zhan paused for a moment, then said in a low voice, "Feng Guang, I'm not a smart person. If I make you angry and you don't tell me, I'll never know why."
"My third uncle is very good; he won't do anything to upset me." She looked up and smiled.
Xie Zhan was not at ease. He wanted to say something more, but Feng Guang took advantage of his moment of relaxation to pull her hand away and turn to leave. "Don't worry, Third Uncle, I will attend the palace banquet. I will do my best not to disgrace the Xie family. I'll go back to my room to rest now."
Xie Zhan stopped in his tracks, intending to catch up.
As she walked through the corridor, Feng Guang sighed again, her forehead furrowed. Every time she thought she had made progress, reality would bring her back to reality. The task was arduous and the road ahead was long, but this road seemed far too long.
"What did you talk about with your third uncle?" Suddenly, an elderly voice rang out from ahead.
Feng Guang looked up and saw an old woman. In the dim candlelight, the old woman's deeply lined face looked somewhat sinister and frightening. Startled, she quickly said, "Good evening, Grandma."
The old lady was silent for a while, but she didn't seem to care about Feng Guang calling her "Grandma". She asked again, "What did you and Zhan'er talk about?"
"It's nothing, just about attending the palace banquet in three days." Feng Guang answered honestly, without hiding anything, nor was there any need to.
"The palace banquet three days from now is so important, you must not disgrace the Xie family."
"oh……"
Seeing Feng Guang's perfunctory attitude, the old lady said with exasperation, "You need to realize the importance of this matter. If the Xie family's reputation is damaged because of you, you can't bear the consequences."
"Is...is that so?" Feng Guang stammered, sensing that something was wrong with the old lady's excessive excitement.
Perhaps realizing she had been too agitated, the old lady calmed down and said, "Zhan'er said that your eldest son's family has been away from the capital for a long time, and it's time for you to come back and reunite with your family. That's why I've written to you repeatedly asking you to come back. If your eldest son's family can behave themselves and not cause trouble, then our Xie family will naturally be able to live a long life."
