Tengteng buried his face in Tang Huihui's knees. "Grandma, did I do something wrong?"
Tang Huihui patted Tengteng's head. "Hmm. What you're doing is hurting yourself and others."
Tengteng raised his head. "Is it that serious?"
"Of course. If you two really get married, she'll feel that her dad saved you, so she'll definitely make you do this and that for her. But you're so busy, and you don't really like her from the bottom of your heart. Over time, you'll definitely find her troublesome and won't want to do this and that for her anymore. Then she'll think you should do it for her. If you don't do it for her, she'll argue and make a scene with you."
Tang Huihui stared at Tengteng and said, "The soldier you're in is more dangerous than others. If she's always bothering you, you'll definitely be distracted. Tell me, if you really marry her, wouldn't you be harming yourself and others?"
"this……"
"Xiuli's father wants Xiuli to have a good life. If you two quarrel every day after you get married, Xiuli's father will not rest in peace in the afterlife."
Tengteng felt that he had made a decision too hastily.
Tang Huihui could tell from Tengteng's expression that he had taken her words to heart. "Think about it carefully yourself. Grandma is going to rest for a while."
"Grandma, I'm sorry to have caused you so much worry."
Tang Huihui laughed and said, "When you get old, you have to worry more, otherwise your brain won't work."
Tengteng helped Tang Huihui up. "Grandma, let me take you downstairs."
"good."
Tang Huihui and Han Dashan were getting old, so Xiaoman arranged for them to have a room on the first floor.
Xiaoman stood up from the sofa when she saw Tang Huihui come down.
Tang Huihui smiled at Xiaoman. "I scolded him. He knows he was wrong. Tengteng, apologize to your mother."
"Okay." Tengteng said as he helped Tang Huihui downstairs. "Mom, I was wrong. I'll reconsider."
Xiaoman breathed a sigh of relief. She wasn't afraid of Qiao Xiuli's tantrums. She was just worried about Tengteng being stubborn. "Hmm. Don't be so impulsive in the future."
Tengteng: "I've got it."
Tang Huihui was afraid that Xiaoman would scold Tengteng. "Alright. Tengteng, help Grandma back to her room. Xiaoman, you should go back and rest for a while too."
Xiaoman: "Okay."
On the other side, after helping Qiao Xiuli complete the formalities, her older sister led Qiao Xiuli and Chou Chou to their room with the waiter.
After the waiter left, my sister took off her ugly shoes and coat. "Son, go to bed and sleep for a while. Mom and Auntie need to talk."
“Okay,” Chou Chou climbed onto the bed and lay down, then pulled the towel over her tummy. “Mommy, I’ve covered my tummy.”
The older sister gently patted Chou Chou a few times. "Sweetie. Go to sleep. Mommy will take you home when you wake up."
Ugly closed her eyes. "Okay."
Soon, Chou Chou fell asleep.
Qiao Xiuli whispered, "Your son is so well-behaved."
My sister pointed to the chairs by the window. “Let’s talk over there.”
"good."
After sitting down, the older sister looked at Qiao Xiuli and asked, "Have you ever thought about what would happen to you two if you married my brother?"
Qiao Xiuli's face immediately turned red.
My sister smiled. "Treat each other with the utmost respect?"
Qiao Xiuli's face stiffened for a moment. "I will make your brother fall in love with me."
The older sister's lips curled up slightly. "The idea is good. But it's not guaranteed to come true."
Qiao Xiuli was quite confident in her looks. "Your brother will definitely fall in love with me."
The older sister could tell what Qiao Xiuli was thinking just by looking at her expression. "You may be beautiful, but there are many beautiful women. Why would my brother like you?"
"Because...because..."
"Because of your father?"
Qiao Xiuli bit her lip.
The older sister looked at Qiao Xiuli and said, "Your father taught my brother a lot. In my brother's heart, your father was both his comrade-in-arms and his teacher. My brother was very sad when your father sacrificed his life. But being sad is one thing, and falling in love with you is another. Do you think my brother would fall in love with you because of your father?"
"My father saved your brother."
The older sister stared at Qiao Xiuli and said, "My brother remembers your father's kindness. Our family also remembers your father's kindness. However, this kindness doesn't guarantee that my brother will fall in love with you. If my brother does fall in love with you, that would be wonderful. But what if my brother never falls in love with you in his entire life?"
"I will try my best to make your brother fall in love with me."
The older sister smiled. "If effort alone could make a difference in matters of the heart, then the term 'unrequited love' wouldn't exist."
Qiao Xiuli looked at her sister. "I can't argue with you. But I won't let my father leave in peace."
The older sister looked out the window and said, "Your father will only be at ease if you marry my brother."
Qiao Xiuli jumped up from her chair. "You're talking nonsense! My dad has told me many times that your brother will definitely be a good husband and a good father in the future. If I could marry your brother, my dad would be very happy." After saying that, Qiao Xiuli turned her face away.
My sister can tell that Qiao Xiuli is very sad right now.
After a while, Qiao Xiuli turned to look at her sister and said, "You should go back now. I need to rest."
The older sister pointed at Chou Chou. "My son just fell asleep."
Qiao Xiuli sat down in the chair.
My sister looked out the window.
Qiao Xiuli also turned her gaze to the window.
Neither the older sister nor Qiao Xiuli spoke.
More than half an hour later, the older sister sensed that Qiao Xiuli's emotions had stabilized before she spoke. "If you can't make my brother fall in love with you, if my brother falls in love with someone else..." The older sister paused for a moment, "then your marriage will be a disaster."
Qiao Xiuli closed her eyes briefly: "I will make your brother fall in love with me."
"Why do you insist on marrying my brother?" As my older sister grew up, she stopped trying to understand other people's true feelings. Qiao Xiuli's situation was a bit troublesome, but not insurmountable for my sister. So, she didn't try to figure out what Qiao Xiuli was really thinking. Firstly, she didn't like prying into other people's minds. Secondly, it was rather pointless to see through everyone.
Qiao Xiuli looked out the window and said, "To fulfill my father's last wish."
The older sister frowned. "Your father wanted you to marry my brother because he thought he would be a good husband and a good father. So, his last wish was actually for you to be happy. Do you think you can be happy marrying my brother?"
Qiao Xiuli's answer was quick and firm. "Yes."
The older sister didn't want to talk to Qiao Xiuli anymore. "If you insist on marrying my brother, then you two might just live separate lives from now on."
"Won't."
The older sister raised an eyebrow at Qiao Xiuli. "Where do you get your confidence?"
"I...you don't need to know where my confidence comes from. Anyway, I will make a good life for your brother."
My sister smiled. "Really?"
"Um."
The older sister looked at Qiao Xiuli and said, "Do you think that since my brother has agreed, he won't change his mind?"
Qiao Xiuli's face stiffened. "What do you mean?"
The older sister shrugged. "Perhaps my brother has changed his mind now."
