"Um?"
After asking the question aloud, Zhu Qinghao realized what he was talking about and gently punched his chest.
"What are you thinking? Er Gou didn't mean that, okay? He just wanted to do something to put his mind at ease. Does he really think I'm a heartthrob?"
Sheng Yi's eyes dimmed, but in the end he said nothing, only reaching out to rub her head.
"I didn't think about anything else, I just thought that once I married you, I could be with you openly every day."
Hearing him say that, Zhu Qinghao raised her head, looked at him seriously, and offered a suggestion:
"How about I go and chat with Aunt Haiying tomorrow? I can mention that we're engaged, and the right person will gradually find out. What do you think?"
Zhu Qinghao originally thought that as long as the aunties didn't suggest introducing her or Sheng Yi to potential partners, there was no need to rush to publicize their relationship.
After all, the villagers didn't seem to have any interaction with the two before, so many people would be surprised to hear that they were engaged.
I was thinking of waiting for a chance later to bring it up and explain it to everyone properly, or let everyone guess that the two of them were related.
Before we've even gotten anything, we've already received peach blossoms.
It must be said that Wang Tao is quite tight-lipped. Even though so much time has passed, there is absolutely no rumor in the village that the two of them are engaged.
It's clear that he really didn't tell anyone.
Moreover, since that day, Wang Tao has not deliberately avoided Zhu Qinghao. When he sees her and Si Tian, he still greets them normally, as if the conversation that day had never happened.
Zhu Qinghao could clearly sense that Wang Tao had restrained himself a lot and was trying to focus his energy on other things, so she was happy for him.
What she said before wasn't just to appease Wang Tao; a boy as outstanding as him is bound to be very attractive to girls.
We just need to wait for him to get over this, and hopefully he will meet a wonderful girl who can connect with him.
In the end, Zhu Qinghao took the initiative to tell her aunts, including Tian Haiying and Xing Chunhua, about her engagement to Sheng Yi.
Although the aunties were quite surprised, once they confirmed it was true, they were genuinely happy for her.
No one even bothered to find out when they met or got engaged; they just kept saying auspicious things and how perfectly matched they were...
However, before the matter was resolved and before the words could even be spread through the mouths of the aunties, Zhu Qinghao was entangled with something else.
Zhu Qinghao was doing her own thing normally in the afternoon when suddenly two people appeared, trying to curry favor with her, offering to do this and that for her.
Zhu Qinghao didn't even know these two people, so she couldn't figure them out.
It was only through Xing Chunhua's introduction that she learned that these two were Xu Fengxian's sons, the fourth and fifth sons of the He family.
Zhu Qinghao had almost forgotten who Xu Fengxian was, but when another aunt mentioned it, she remembered.
When the two of them first arrived in the village, it was their first time riding in an oxcart. Xu Fengxian was trying her best to sell her family's firewood on the cart. When she heard that they had already exchanged it at Xing Chunhua's house, she even threw a tantrum.
Xu Fengxian had never had any contact with the two of them before, so why were her sons suddenly coming over to fawn over her?
The aunties were also puzzled. Given Xu Fengxian's personality, how could she possibly allow her son to work for others?
