The Qin family's courtyard.
Xiao Ye stood in front of dozens of betrothal gifts, his resentful eyes fixed on Xiao Ci, who stood beside him with a cold expression.
Who would have thought?
This seemingly upright and honorable man is actually so shameless.
He told Qin Wan in advance that instead of asking his parents or elders to intervene, he had his own younger brother do it for him.
He claimed that he had grown up with Qin Wan since childhood, visited the Qin family the most times, and was most familiar with everyone in the Qin family, so he was the most suitable person to step forward.
Thinking of this, Xiao felt an intense pain in the various wounds hidden beneath his robes...
That guy is shameless!
It sounds nice, but in reality it was meant to stab him in the heart and make him completely give up any thoughts about Qin Wan.
He's arranging a marriage proposal for another man to his ex-fiancée...
Just thinking about it made Xiao feel like a green light was flashing above his head.
"Patriarch Xiao, you've arrived!" Qin Qing pulled Qin Wan out to greet them. Upon seeing Xiao Ci, the two sisters smiled warmly.
Meanwhile, Xiao, who was meant to be a supporting character, was completely ignored...
"The Qin family has failed to properly welcome Patriarch Xiao, who has come in person." Qin's father and mother appeared shortly after, looking at Xiao Ci with gentle and loving expressions.
Clearly, after returning home, the Qin sisters, Wan and Qing, told each other everything that had happened in the Monster Forest.
Upon learning that Xiao Ci had saved Qin Wan's life and helped her break the seal within her body, enabling her to cultivate, Qin Wan's parents' favor towards Xiao Ci increased dramatically.
Even Xiao Ye, who was originally unwelcome and disliked, was reluctantly allowed to enter the Qin family because of Xiao Ci, and was not driven out with sticks.
"Uncle Qin, Aunt Qin, I apologize for the sudden intrusion."
Seeing Xiao Ci, who was usually aloof and indifferent to people, suddenly become so humble and polite, Qin's parents instantly felt much more favorably toward him.
"Master Xiao, you're too kind. Please come inside..."
Seeing that Xiao Ci received such high treatment on his first visit to the Qin family, Xiao Ye felt even more resentful.
In particular, seeing the Qin family running around doing everything for Xiao Ci, and then comparing that to being forgotten in a corner with no one caring about him, Xiao Ci felt extremely bitter.
"Qin Qing."
Seeing that Qin Wan and her sister were about to leave, Xiao instinctively wanted to call out to Qin Wan, but the pain that was surging through his body made him instinctively call out to Qin Qing instead.
Qin Qing stopped in her tracks, turned around and stared at him with a puzzled look.
"do what?"
"This is the betrothal letter and the list of betrothal gifts." With that, Xiao handed the items to Qin Qing.
"The betrothal letter isn't for me. As for the gift list, you can give it to the steward." As she spoke, Qin Qing frowned at him, seemingly disapproving of his lack of manners and discipline.
Xiao Ye: "..."
"I suddenly remembered that I have some things to take care of at home and it's inconvenient for me to go in. Could you please pass these things on for me?"
As he spoke, Xiao handed the birth chart and gift list in his hand to Qin Qing again.
Qin Qing looked at Xiao Ye deeply, and patted his shoulder gently with sympathy in her eyes.
Just when Xiao thought Qin Qing meant yes, the other party patted his shoulder and then darted into the front hall.
To prevent him from stopping her once he regained his senses, Qin Qing even used her spiritual power...
Looking at the person who had suddenly disappeared in front of him, and then at Qin Qing who was smiling brightly at him in the front hall, Xiao Ye felt completely distraught.
This woman!
Ever since he met Qin Qing, he's been plagued by bad luck!
There's no limit to how unlucky you can get!
Because Qin Wan was capable of cultivation, the entire Qin family was deeply grateful to Xiao Ci and was overjoyed by his marriage proposal.
At the Qin family home, Xiao Ci enjoyed the highest level of VIP treatment.
Xiao Ye's eyes were filled with sorrow, and his resentful gaze turned to Qin Qing once more.
It's all that woman's fault!
If she could accept the gift list and betrothal letter, he wouldn't have to face this cruel scene before him.
In the front hall, as Qin's parents accepted the marriage agreement, Qin Wan looked at Xiao Ci with shy eyes, while Xiao Ci's face was full of tenderness and doting affection.
Xiao Ye: "..." He felt increasingly uncomfortable.
But Qin Qing, who seemed to enjoy watching the drama unfold, insisted on adding fuel to the fire even though he already had a sour face.
"So? What are your thoughts?"
"Seeing your ex-fiancée find true happiness now, don't you feel a sense of relief?"
Xiao Ye took a deep breath and stared at Qin Qing with a grim expression.
Unfortunately, Qin Qing was not afraid at all, and the smile on her lips widened considerably.
“You grew up with Wan’er since you were little. Seeing her find happiness, you should be happy for her.”
Xiao also turned his head away, not wanting to talk to her, and took two steps to the side, widening the distance between himself and Qin Qing.
Unfortunately, Qin Qing clearly wasn't planning to let him off so easily...
He hid, she chased, and he couldn't escape!
"One is your older brother, and the other is your ex-fiancée. You know their character better than anyone. You didn't object because they are both good matches for each other, right?"
"Given your understanding of them, you should be able to foresee how loving and harmonious their married life will be, right?"
"Qin Qing, if you don't speak, no one will think you're mute," Xiao said through gritted teeth.
"Oh, and then? What are your thoughts on Qin Wan and Brother Xiao's marriage?"
Xiao Ye: "!!!"
"Hey? Xiao Ye, where are you going?"
"The birth chart hasn't been changed yet?"
"And the gift list, did you give it to the butler?"
"Xiao Ye, a grown man, can't you be a little more reliable and steady in your actions?"
"Xiao Ye, I haven't finished speaking yet! Why are you running away?"
Watching Xiao Ye flee in disarray, Qin Qing smiled broadly, feeling quite pleased.
Hearing the commotion, Qin Wan, Xiao Ci, and the others all looked over.
Meeting the gazes of Qin's parents, Xiao Ci smiled faintly and gently took out the birth certificate and gift list from his sleeve.
“My mistress has always been unreliable since she was a child. Just in case, I asked my mother to prepare two sets of birth charts and gift lists.”
Upon hearing this, Qin's parents smiled even more broadly, looking at Xiao Ci with increasing satisfaction.
Qin Wan: "..." This man is really bad.
Qin Qing: "..." I feel sorry for that idiot Xiao Ye for a second, that's all!
Thanks to Xiao Ci's meticulous arrangements, the entire betrothal process went exceptionally smoothly.
Upon their first meeting, Qin's parents were extremely pleased with Xiao Ci, their future son-in-law.
As evening fell, Xiao Ci took his leave. Qin's parents were reluctant to part with him and specially brought out Qin Wan to see Xiao Ci off properly.
The main gate of the Qin residence.
Qin Wan looked at Xiao Ci with a complicated expression, "We've only known each other for a day, but my parents already like you far more than my sister and I do."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Ci's eyebrows curved into a smile, and his intense gaze fixed intently on Qin Wan.
"What about Wan'er?"
Who is the person Wan'er loves most?
"Uncle and aunt? Or your eldest sister?"
"Or perhaps... a mistress?"
"still……"
Qin Wan: "..." This man is absolutely amazing!!!
