Chapter 378 Preparing for Marriage
Li Rongsen lowered his eyes to look at her and said, "Think carefully about what you want. I won't let you suffer any loss."
"I haven't thought about it yet." An Yan answered frankly.
"Okay, tell me when you think of it." Li Rongsen wouldn't ask her to come up with the whole story so quickly, so he added, "But forget about wanting me to fall in love with you. I might not be able to do that."
An Yan raised her eyes to look at him and found that he was a little aloof, but he didn't mean to look down on her. It was just a statement, but she still felt a little cold in her heart. She said, "That's not what you ask."
Li Rongsen nodded slightly and said, "We also need to discuss the post-marriage matters in detail."
"What are your plans?" An Yan asked him.
"I won't interfere with your behavior and wishes, but you have to pretend in front of my family, so that my grandfather won't start any big drama again." Li Rongsen said.
"Pretend to be affectionate?"
"I won't force it."
"I'll try my best to cooperate."
Li Rongsen looked at An Yan. This was the first time he had looked at her so carefully and attentively. He found this woman very interesting. She wasn't shy or pretentious, and inwardly, she was somewhat indifferent to him. She didn't seem like the type of woman who would just let things go. But why did she say she would try her best to cooperate with him? This was something he couldn't understand, so he asked, "Why did you agree?"
An Yan lowered her eyes, and after a brief thought, she finally kept the words "I like you" in her heart and said, "I want Wancaotang."
Li Rongsen seemed to suddenly understand, which made him feel relieved. He said, "It's not impossible, but I need to think about it."
"You don't need to consider anything. I just need the right to use Wancaotang, nothing more." An Yan made up something casually.
"You are not greedy." Li Rongsen chuckled.
An Yan didn't say anything. Rong Qian walked in from outside and said, "Oh, that's great. You're getting married. An Yan will finally become my sister-in-law!"
Li Rongsen frowned and strode out of the room.
Rong Qian snorted at Li Rongsen's back, then said to An Yan, "When should you take my brother to see a doctor? He's seriously ill, and I don't know what's happened to him."
"Your brother is not sick. Not remembering the past is not a disease." An Yan said to her with a smile.
"Let's go downstairs." Rong Qian said as she took An Yan's hand and walked downstairs together.
Mrs. Li downstairs was also smiling happily. She said, "An Yan, I actually have a new house prepared. I didn't expect Grandpa to have bought one a long time ago, but I want to give it to you too. I'll have them give you the key someday."
"No, there's no need for so many houses." An Yan said.
"That won't do. Just take what's given to you." Madam Li smiled and said, "It's better to get married sooner so that you can feel at ease sooner."
Li Rongsen felt it was very strange that all his family members were on An Yan's side. But on second thought, it made sense. She was his grandfather's savior, so it was normal for him to like her. But he really didn't feel like liking her at all.
Rong Qian held An Yan's arm tightly and said, "Marriage is a matter of time anyway. I'm going to call you sister-in-law now."
"You'd better call me by my name." An Yan said.
"I have to plan it carefully and invite everyone in the city to attend your wedding. It must be unprecedentedly grand." The more Mr. Li thought about it, the happier he became. He was beaming with joy.
Madam Li said, "It's most reassuring to leave it to Grandpa."
"This is the happiest thing that has happened to our Li family in all these years. We must do it well." said Mr. Li.
Li Rongsen sat alone on the sofa, expressionless and without a trace of joy on his face.
An Yan didn't get angry with him, and guessed that he wasn't happy. She looked at her watch and said, "I should go back. It's getting late."
"Okay, let Rongsen take you back and you go back together." Mrs. Li immediately gave Li Rongsen a wink.
Li Rongsen finally agreed. He stood up and said to An Yan, "Let's go."
An Yan said goodbye to Mr. Li and the others, and then followed Li Rongsen away.
Li Rongsen got in the car first. He didn't start the car and was waiting for An Yan to get in. However, he found that she didn't come yet, so he had to get out of the car to look. He couldn't find An Yan anywhere. He thought that she didn't need him to send her off, so he went back to the car, started the car and drove forward.
But this place is very remote, and she didn't drive here, so how did she get here? And now she is still missing.
An Yan had to hurry back to West City, where Mancao and Qingfeng were waiting for her, and she couldn't neglect their guests.
But when she returned, they had already gone back to their room to rest, and only Yan Qingqiu was waiting for her.
"I'll ask the servants to bring you some midnight snacks," said Yan Qingqiu.
"I'll go take a shower first." An Yan said as she went into the bathroom to wash up. She felt that the development of her relationship with Li Rongsen was incredible. They had unknowingly reached the point of getting married.
When An Yan came out, there were already a lot of delicious food on the table.
Yan Qingqiu poured her a glass of water and asked, "How's the situation over there?"
"Very good." An Yan replied.
"Did the old man force you to get married?"
"Nothing can be hidden from you." An Yan teased him.
"So when are you planning to get married?" Yan Qingqiu asked, taking out a roll of paper and placing it in front of her. "Here, I got this from the old man. Trick Li Rongsen into writing his name on it, and he'll be a slave in West City again."
"Why do you want to do this?" An Yan asked him, and then said, "I don't like to be forced. I like him to be willing."
"What's the big deal? Sooner or later, they'll be willing to do it. Let's get the person first."
An Yan looked at him and asked, "What are you so anxious about?"
"Good things are afraid of being snatched away, especially those that have no owner. The most important thing is to take them away first. Besides, he is a hot commodity, and so many eyes are staring at him." Yan Qingqiu analyzed to her seriously.
"Go to sleep, we'll talk tomorrow." An Yan said as he picked up the roll of paper, twirled it between his fingers, and then he disappeared.
Yan Qingqiu was not convinced and said, "You said you would pursue Li Rongsen, but I never saw you actually pursue him."
"Isn't this considered pursuing?" An Yan frowned. She felt that she was already quite proactive.
"How does that count?" Yan Qingqiu asked her back.
"I have agreed to marry him, and I promise to cooperate with him fully." An Yan said as she took a sip of soup.
Yan Qingqiu was overjoyed and asked, "Is it true?"
An Yan's hands trembled, and the bowl of soup almost spilled. She said, "You scared me. Why are you shouting so loudly? Who are you trying to wake up?"
"Great, we can enter the bridal chamber soon. Everything will fall into place naturally."
Before Yan Qingqiu could finish his words, An Yan patted the back of his head, signaling him to be quiet, and said, "What are you talking about? Go to sleep now. I need to rest too."
"Okay, okay, go to bed early. We'll discuss the wedding tomorrow. I'm going to tell the old man the good news."
"Don't tell him that my marriage with Li Rongsen has nothing to do with Xicheng. It hasn't reached that stage yet." An Yan instructed him.
Yan Qingqiu frowned, but had to obey her and walked out in a bad mood.
The next day, An Yan got up early and asked the old man to prepare some special pastries and food.
Mancao and Qingfeng did not dare to get up late, and came to Anyan first.
"An Yan, it's time for us to go back as planned." Mancao said.
"We just arrived, why are we in such a hurry to go back?" An Yanyuan still planned to play with them for two days.
