The next day.
The Qin family's main hall on the first floor.
Upon learning that the Jiang family was coming to visit, Qin Wan's father took half a day off to wait at home to prevent Qin Wan from being bullied.
As soon as the Jiang family arrived, Qin's father immediately put on a stern face and stared coldly at Jiang Huan, who was reluctantly entering.
"Nobody begged you to come. If you don't want to come, then get out of here." Qin's father snorted coldly, his gaze toward Jiang Huan growing increasingly impatient.
Jiang Huan's face stiffened. Having always been pampered since childhood, this was the first time he had ever been so humiliated.
If it weren't for his mother's repeated instructions before he came, Jiang Huan would have stormed off in a rage.
"Old Qin, what are you saying? Our two families are related by marriage. Wanwan will marry into our family in the future, so why wouldn't we want her to come?"
"As for Ah Huan, don't blame him. It seems like he's having a tiff with Wan Wan..."
At this point, Jiang's father sighed and said helplessly, "Children don't understand things. A-Huan likes Wan-Wan, but he can't say it. If his mother hadn't persuaded him all night last night, he still wouldn't have admitted it."
As he spoke, Jiang's father explained all the reasons why Jiang Huan had been acting strangely these past few days.
The reason Jiang Huan helped Su Yue instead of Qin Wan was because he and Qin Wan had a minor argument, and the young couple were having a tiff.
Jiang Huan originally intended to apologize to Qin Wan, but unexpectedly stumbled upon Qin Wan and Su Yue having a conflict.
Because Su Yue had helped Jiang Huan before, and because Jiang Huan wanted to attract Qin Wan's attention, he subconsciously helped Su Yue.
"Old Qin, don't worry, I've already taught that brat a lesson!"
"It's because young people lack dating experience, and he grew up with Wanwan since childhood. He didn't even realize when he fell in love, which is why he made a mistake and almost hurt Wanwan."
It has to be said that Jiang's father was a real old fox; he managed to make the dead seem alive through his words.
Everyone present knew perfectly well what Jiang Huan was thinking and what he did.
But Jiang's father was shameless enough to lie through his teeth, and didn't care how complicated the looks were on everyone's faces.
"So, after I learned the whole story from his mother, I quickly pulled him over to apologize to Wanwan."
"The two children have had a relationship for over ten years, and we must not let it be ruined by an outsider."
"Such a wonderful marriage must not be ruined, so as not to give outsiders an opportunity to take advantage of it."
Jiang's father's last words were as obvious as could be.
It's practically saying that Su Yue deliberately plotted against Qin Wan and Jiang Huan.
Jiang Huan sat to the side, his face grim as he listened, his fists clenched. He desperately wanted to stand up and refute Qin's father.
While everyone's attention was drawn to Jiang's father, Qin Wan first glanced at Lu Yao, who was sitting quietly and obediently beside her, before turning her gaze to Jiang Huan.
"Ah Huan, is that really true?" Qin Wan suddenly asked.
In an instant, everyone's eyes in the large living room were focused on Qin Wan and Jiang Huan.
That one word, "Ah Huan," led everyone to mistakenly believe that Qin Wan still liked Jiang Huan and hadn't let go of him.
[Lu Yao's favorability decreased by 2, current favorability is 60.]
Lu Yao's body stiffened.
[Host, are you deliberately provoking Lu Yao?] The system sensed something was wrong.
"Do you think Lu Yao is easy to fool?" Qin Wan suddenly asked.
Upon hearing this, the system glanced at Lu Yao silently, then quickly shook its head. [He's not easy to fool; only Qin Luo is.]
This praise-one-against-one-against comment almost made Qin Wan laugh.
"So, I've been carefully controlling how far Lu Yao gets closer..."
"First of all, I don't know what connection the original owner had with Lu Yao in the past."
"Secondly, when I entered this world, the original owner was still deeply in love with Jiang Huan, and was jealous of Jiang Huan's protection of Su Yue. The engagement had not yet been dissolved..."
"In addition, the original owner's proud nature and infatuation with Jiang Huan led her to consistently reject and exclude all boys from getting close to her."
"Under the influence of these factors, it is impossible for me to suddenly change my personality or change my mind so easily."
"Even when I tacitly approve of Lu Yao's approach, I have to control the degree so as not to arouse Lu Yao's suspicion, and even more so to prevent him from having a bad impression of me."
After hearing Qin Wan's explanation, the system finally understood why its host had changed her previous two obsessive infatuations with the God...
It turns out I've been suppressing it all along.
After sensing the system's thoughts, Qin Wan chuckled, "I have endured in the God Realm for thousands of years. If it weren't for his impending death, I would never have let anyone discover or sense my feelings for him..."
All she ever wanted was to be by his side.
Even if not as partners.
This is because, throughout the millennia in the realm of gods, since her birth, she has been the only one by his side.
She had thought they would stay together for a very, very long time...
Unexpectedly, Ling Jue, who rules the six realms and is the supreme deity, will also face a fatal tribulation...
To save him, she had no choice but to...
Thinking of this, Qin Wan quickly stopped her thoughts and tried not to let herself get lost in the memories of the past.
Under his father's pressing gaze and meeting his mother's gentle, comforting look, Jiang Huan gritted his teeth and reluctantly hummed in agreement.
Seeing this, Jiang's parents smiled with satisfaction.
Qin's father snorted coldly. Did the Jiang family think they were fools?
Qin Wan did not smile after receiving Jiang Huan's reply.
"Then why did you kiss Su Yue?"
boom!
Qin Wan's question was like a thunderbolt, causing the people in the hall to freeze and their faces to turn extremely ugly.
"No way? Wanwan, are you sure you didn't see wrong? Ah Huan is the most disciplined child; he would never do anything reckless." Jiang's father said, glaring at Jiang Huan and urging him to explain to Qin Wan.
Jiang Huan pursed his thin lips, sat there motionless, refusing to explain or admit anything.
Seeing this, Jiang's father became so angry that his breathing became quite heavy.
"Regardless of the truth, things have escalated to this point and must be resolved."
"It was indeed wrong of our elders to make the engagement; they didn't even ask for your opinions."
"Since Jiang Huan has found someone else, let's call off the engagement!" Qin's father made the final decision.
Jiang's father wanted to say something more, but Qin's father interrupted him directly.
"Old Jiang, I will absolutely not change my mind about this matter, and you don't need to try to persuade me anymore."
"As for Jiang Huan, don't pressure him. It's not easy for a kid to meet a girl he likes. Let's, as adults, let's support them."
Upon hearing Qin's words, Jiang's father's face stiffened. He opened his mouth to explain, but Qin's father preemptively took out a stack of photos and handed them to Jiang's father.
After seeing the photo, Jiang's father's expression changed drastically. Although he was still unwilling, he ultimately did not continue to shamelessly linger and refuse to leave.
Jiang's father left angrily, and Jiang's mother grabbed Jiang Huan and hurriedly chased after him.
Qin Wan stared blankly at Jiang Huan's departing figure...
Upon seeing this, Lu Yao's eyes suddenly darkened...
