Jiang Ziqi: Wow, she can eat now! She doesn't need rice water anymore! I'm so happy~
Tan Dingding: Hua girl, go easy on me~
Tan Lingjian glared. She had always disliked Hua Ansu and held a grudge against Hua Ansu for pricking her with needles. But what did Hua Ansu mean by what she just said?
"How could my senior brother not bring me any snacks? You're the one who should be blamed!"
"Lingling, you mustn't be rude to Hua!"
Hua Ansu raised her hand to indicate that nothing was wrong, "Because you insulted the person your senior brother cherishes most~"
Hua Ansu was very excited, and even a little mischievous; she just wanted to stir things up.
Of course, Tan Lingjian didn't see it that way. "What do you mean, 'the person my senior brother cherishes most'? Don't talk nonsense and ruin my senior brother's reputation!"
"I ruined your senior brother's reputation? It's clearly your senior brother who's been clinging to my Ziqi all day long, no matter what!"
Jiang Ziqi: ...emmm, it's not that exaggerated.
Clingy and persistent? Following you around all day long? And you can't shake them off?
Are you talking about her senior brother?
That's impossible!
Tan Lingjian was about to defend Yan Qingnuo when Tan Dingding seemed to understand something from their conversation. He opened his mouth wide and stared in realization, then rushed to Jiang Ziqi's side. "So you're the childhood sweetheart my silly disciple has been longing for! Oh my, my disciple has such good taste! She's so pretty and capable. Her future children will definitely be a perfect combination of your best features, incredibly beautiful and incredibly smart. I'm so happy just thinking about it. Girl, when will you marry my disciple?"
Jiang Ziqi was stunned. "Huh?"
Tan Dingding suddenly got up and ran into the house, returning after a while with a dusty wooden box in his hand to Jiang Ziqi. "This is a gift for you. Do you like it?"
The unassuming wooden box contained a beautiful pair of bracelets.
Tan Lingjian screamed again, "Dad, how could you give her this!"
This was something Father specially prepared for Senior Brother Yan's future wife! She even participated in the selection! How could he give it to Jiang Ziqi, that poor student from Star Academy! She's not worthy of Senior Brother Yan at all!
"Lingling, this is your sister-in-law. If we don't give her a gift, who should we give it to?"
Tan Lingjian suddenly realized that her father had been nagging about Jiang Ziqi marrying her senior brother and having children. She had been completely bewildered by what her father had said. "I don't agree! How can my senior brother get involved with her! Dad, do you know who this Jiang Ziqi is? She's a laughingstock at Star Academy! Do you want our family to become a laughingstock too?"
Tan Dingding's face darkened. "Lingling, don't talk nonsense!"
Tan Lingjian was practically hysterical. "I'm not talking nonsense! I'm going to find my senior brother. He won't agree to you, you senile old fool, arbitrarily arranging his life!"
After shouting, Tan Lingjian ran outside.
Tan Dingding was worried. This girl hadn't gone out for days. What if she suddenly ran out and got into trouble?
Hua Ansu sipped her tea slowly, "Don't worry, she will come back."
Sure enough, Tan Lingjian ran back quickly, looking panicked. "Dad, something terrible has happened! There are people all over the outside of our house!"
"Um?"
Tan Dingding stroked his beard, looking rather profound. "Could it be that you know I've broken through to the sixth rank and are here to congratulate me?"
Hua Ansu: "...You're overthinking it."
Tan Lingjian nodded, "Father, you're overthinking it. They want you to hand over Hua Ansu and release the city lord's daughter. Father, where is the city lord's daughter here? Have they gone mad?"
