An Yiqi, An Yilin, and An Yizhi were laughing so hard they lost all composure.
Of course, the most exaggerated was Brother Five, An Yiqi, who laughed without restraint while heavily patting An Yiqing on the back.
An Yiqing was left speechless: "..."
Once An Yizhi finally stopped laughing, he kindly chid in: "Baobei, don’t bla Third Brother. It’s not that he doesn’t like you. He’s just afraid that you’ll want to marry him like Lele did, haha!"
An Yiqing shot a sideways glance, his look clearly questioning; are you really helping or mocking ?
An Baobei blinked in confusion, "Can Baobei marry Third Brother? But mom said Baobei has to marry out, so doesn’t that an she can’t marry a brother?"
"I didn’t say you could marry Third Brother, I just said it was a possibility." Fearing An Baobei misunderstood, An Yizhi quickly corrected. "Anyway, the point is, Third Brother doesn’t dislike you. Don’t overthink. You’re the treasure of our family. No one here would dislike you, rest assured."
Only then did An Baobei smile again.
Only then did An Yiqing feel at ease, opening the letter he had taken out of the envelope. Upon reading its contents, he was stunned.
Lele wants to marry his Second Brother?!
An Yiqi, leaning on An Yiqing’s shoulder, was also surprised after reading the letter: "Third Brother, didn’t Lele like you? Why is she marrying Second Brother?"
An Yilin spoke with a sarcastic tone: "Anyway, Third Brother doesn’t like Lele or want to marry her, so I don’t see a problem with Lele marrying Second Brother."
An Yizhi imdiately chid in, "Sixth Brother’s right. Besides, we’d be worried if Lele married soone else. If she marries Second Brother, we’re not worried at all. Second Brother will definitely treat Lele well."
Having said that, An Yizhi exchanged a mischievous look with An Yilin.
An Baobei craned her little head forward to look at the letter. Although she didn’t recognize all the characters, she still asked, "Is Lele Sister going to marry Second Brother?"
An Yilin, dotingly patting An Baobei’s head, smiled and replied, "Yes, Lele is marrying Second Brother. Baobei, you’ll have a Second Sister-in-law."
"Second Sister-in-law? Yay!" An Baobei was overjoyed. "Big Sister-in-law treats Baobei so well, so if Baobei gets a Second Sister-in-law, she’ll treat Baobei well too, right?"
An Yilin nodded affirmatively, "Yes."
Seeing An Yiqing not utter a word, instead staring intently at the letter as if he could burn a hole through it with his eyes, An Yiqi suppressed his laughter and deliberately asked, "Third Brother, we’re getting a Second Sister-in-law. Why don’t you seem happy?"
Finally, An Yiqing spoke, and he was furious: "Happy, my foot! Second Brother doesn’t even like Lele! He likes Huo Qingyi! Yet he’s still going to marry Lele... No way, I have to go to Slayer Tower!"
As soon as he said it, he acted on it, imdiately getting off the bed to put on boots. Once his silver boots were on, he went straight to the stables, grabbed his horse, and rode to Slayer Tower, not even bothering to pack a couple of things.
Seeing An Yiqing so irrationally triggered and actually heading to Slayer Tower, An Yiqi, An Yilin, and An Yizhi were delighted, high-fiving each other.
"Fifth Brother, Sixth Brother, Seventh Brother, what are you all so happy about?" An Baobei looked at her three handso brothers, puzzled by their triumphant grins.
An Yiqi cheerfully replied, "Baobei, we’re soon going to have a Third Sister-in-law."
