Looking at his mother's cheerful expression, Kang Yuanchen sighed. Actually, getting married was not impossible.
Yu Qing from the capital was also being urged to get married.
Mrs. Yu took Yu Qing to visit each family one by one, and she wanted to pay New Year's greetings to each family.
Yu Qing frowned, "Mom, why are you going to so many houses this year?"
"I'm going through all this trouble just for you! Qing'er, you're old enough to get engaged."
Yu Qing was flustered and refused without a second thought. "Mom, I'm still young. Dad said he'll consider marriage after I turn 20."
"That's what your father told me to do. He told me to take you out more often during the New Year and to arrange a marriage if I meet the right person." She didn't understand the reason, but she had to do what her husband asked her to do, and she also secretly hoped that Yu Qing would get married soon.
Yu Qing's mind suddenly flashed through Kang Yueran's image, and his hands, hanging on his legs, unconsciously grabbed his robe. "Mom, I don't want to get married so early."
Madam Yu still understood her son. "Qing'er, tell me the truth, do you have someone you like?"
Yu Qing immediately denied it, "No! Mom, don't make random guesses!" He turned his head slightly, not daring to look at Mrs. Yu.
This is obviously a guilty conscience. Madam Yu laughed and said, "You still dare to say no? Tell me the truth, which family is this girl from? If her status is too high, I will go and ask Prince Ning..."
"Mom, there really isn't anything. Stop guessing! I'm leaving first!" Yu Qing interrupted Mrs. Yu anxiously.
Madam Yu grabbed Yu Qing, her smile gone. "Don't go! That girl is either too high-ranking or too low-ranking. Qing'er, don't tell me you're after some girl from a brothel, are you?"
"I said I don't have anyone I like. I'm leaving first!" Yu Qing struggled hard to break free from Mrs. Yu's hand and walked out quickly as if he was running for his life.
Madam Yu stamped her foot anxiously, "Madame Liu, go find the master."
Yu Nianxian felt a mixture of emotions after hearing what Madam Yu had said. He felt distressed that his son was destined to be unrequited, yet also angry that he had such thoughts about Kang Yueran.
"If he doesn't want to accompany you to pay New Year's greetings, you can go by yourself. Write down the girl you think is suitable, and we will make the decision for him."
"Qing'er may seem gentle, but he's actually quite stubborn. If we arrange a marriage for him without his consent, he'll definitely make a scene."
It’s better to let him make a scene than to let him compete with the prince for his wife. Yu Nianxian said cruelly: “Then let him make a scene! In short, let him get engaged as soon as possible.”
The eldest son will inherit most of the family business, so the couple is strict with the eldest son and much more lenient with the second son Yuqing.
Madam Yu asked anxiously, "Who does Qing'er like? Master, you can't hide it from me."
"You don't need to ask too many questions. Just arrange a marriage for him as soon as possible."
Yu Qing ran back to his study and sat in a chair in a daze. He knew that Kang Yueran and Chai Shijing had secretly decided to spend their lives together; he knew that he shouldn't have any delusions; he knew that he couldn't marry Kang Yueran; he knew it all, but he still couldn't control his heart.
Kang Yueran's every frown and smile were deeply imprinted in his mind like carved by a knife or an axe. No matter how many times he told himself to let go, he still couldn't get rid of it.
He leaned back in his chair and gently closed his eyes. Could getting married really sever this inappropriate relationship?
