So he got up and sat down next to Zhu Qinghao.
"No, okay, let me explain. I didn't mean to hide it from you. It's just that I took it upon myself to do this. I was afraid of making you angry and putting pressure on you, so I didn't tell you before."
"I didn't really mean to hide it from you just now, I just wanted to tease you. If you really want to know, I'll definitely tell you, so don't be sad anymore, okay?"
Zhu Qinghao raised her head and chuckled:
"good."
Unexpectedly, the method Si Tian taught her seemed to work quite well.
And so, they're honestly preparing to confess.
When Sheng Yi saw those cunning eyes, he instantly realized that he had been too concerned and had fallen into a trap.
He gently pinched Zhu Qinghao's cheek, feigning a gritted-teeth expression, while uttering the least harsh of threats:
"You little fox, you've learned to lie, haven't you? Let's see what you'll do when you can't fool me anymore!"
Zhu Qinghao quickly backed down, offering her face to Sheng Yi's hands, turning the pinching into a sticking motion.
"Oh dear, who told you to tease me first? I learned it from you!"
Oh my, who can resist this kind of coquettishness?
In any case, Sheng Yi was no match for him, so he immediately surrendered.
"Okay, okay, it's my fault, it's my fault. I won't tease you anymore, but please don't scare me like that, okay?"
Especially when you get older, you might not be able to handle it. I'll be terrified then, who's going to cook for you, right?
Seeing that he had softened his stance and didn't seem to want to hold on any longer, Zhu Qinghao thought what he said made sense and nodded in agreement.
"Okay, but you have to tell me your secret from before first."
"good."
Sheng Yi chuckled, and as he agreed, he casually pulled the person into his arms, turning their back to him.
"Actually, I submitted the marriage application as soon as you agreed to be with me."
Zhu Qing had wanted to go to bed early, but she hadn't expected it to be this early.
Aren't you afraid of what might happen behind me...?
Sheng Yi smiled faintly and shook his head.
"I'm not afraid. Originally, after I found out that you and Liu Yansong were engaged, I wondered if I would ever be able to get married in this lifetime. But at that time, I didn't find anything unacceptable about it."
"So, if you ultimately decide not to marry me, that's my fate, and I accept it."
Besides, if the person you marry isn't you, marriage doesn't seem so great; it's better to stay single forever.
Upon hearing the last sentence, Zhu Qinghao rolled her eyes at him.
"Pah, pah, pah, what nonsense are you talking about? You're the only precious child in your family, do you think Grandpa Sheng would agree to you not getting married?"
For some reason, Sheng Yi gave an irrelevant answer.
"Why don't you go ask the old man? See if he agrees to me not getting married. But he definitely won't agree now."
What Sheng Yi didn't say was that the old man Sheng had actually prepared himself for his only grandson to never get married.
However, she later met Zhu Qinghao here, learned about the changes in the marriage between the Zhu and Liu families, and realized her grandson's feelings. She had long been preparing to hold her great-grandson.
Zhu Qinghao looked at him with her face turned to the side, smiling, but her eyes revealed a hint of heartache.
It seems that there has been no news about Sheng Yi in his previous life. Is it true, as he said, that he never got married in his entire life?
The main problem is that Zhu Qinghao can only appear in front of her family members very randomly and passively, and she is completely unaware of many things in the outside world.
