After dinner, Grandma Ren, being of advanced age, didn't have the energy to keep up with the young folks and said her goodbyes first.
The topics of young people are sothing the older generation can't really join in on. After eating their fill, Ye Aotian and Cyan Dragon also stepped outside the courtyard for a walk or sothing.
After teasing each other, the conversation finally turned to Xiaofan.
When i'Er, Siyan, and ng Ying were ntioned, Xiaofan's expression beca serious. When it ca to them, he couldn't remain as carefree as before. This wasn't a joke; Xiaofan never thought of joking with them.
After a year of absence, how are they doing now?
Have they forgotten about him, found soone new, or even gotten married...
"Oh, now you rember to call elder sister? You were just laughing so happily. But, be prepared, don't feel bad after hearing this.
"Hmm? Oh."
Don't feel bad… Could it be that what he feared really happened? If that's the case, can he genuinely bless them sincerely?
His hands started to tremble inexplicably.
Xiaofan's expression was sowhat bitter, his eyes fixed on the table, not daring to et Ye Weiwei's gaze, afraid others would see the panic in his heart.
"Let tell you then. Chen Baicheng was controlled by a new thug, and to help his dad retain his business, he was forced to marry that thug."
"That's impossible; she doesn't even like n." Xiaofan imdiately retorted.
"Why wouldn't it be possible? Didn't she fall for you? You've been gone so long; do you expect others to wait for you forever?"
The reasoning was sound, no denying it.
"It wasn't voluntary, right?" But Xiaofan couldn't accept it.
"Does it even matter now whether it was voluntary? Anyway, the deed is done. Also, Liu Siyan got engaged, just two months ago, to the son of a business tycoon. As for Chen ngying, after graduation, she went to work. It's said many are pursuing her, not just in her company, even young managers and departnt heads in the whole office building are under her charm. Probably by now, she's forgotten about a Ye Xiaofan."
"Siyan got engaged?" This news made Xiaofan raise his head again, looking at Ye Weiwei in panic.
"Yes, indeed. The engagent party was grand, and I attended."
"This is..."
Chaos, everything's a ss. Xiaofan had tried everything to co back, and he had many hopes for the future.
But the result he hoped for with them was not what he found.
"Pfft..."
No one knew who started it, but soone burst out laughing on the spot. Soon, everyone else joined in too.
This laughter left Xiaofan, who had been deadpan, looking at everyone in disbelief.
Late to realize, Xiaofan suddenly slapped his head, realizing that once again, he had been tricked by Ye Weiwei.
Given Xiaofan's intelligence, how could he have missed the flaws in Ye Weiwei's words? Who is Chen Baicheng? Would a new thug really scare him? Moreover, if Chen Baicheng had any leverage on anyone, he wouldn't sacrifice i'Er's happiness given how he doted on her; that's one flaw.
Besides, a month ago, Ye Weiwei should have been arranged to be protected within Yanhuang Soul. Where would she get the ti to attend any silly engagent party?
Yet Xiaofan was misled by the fake news. It wasn't that he didn't have ti to doubt; it was that these were the things he feared most in his heart. So his thinking beca chaotic, and he didn't know what to do.
To say he sincerely wished them new happiness is undoubtedly a lie. And everyone, seeing Xiaofan almost on the verge of tears, finally burst out laughing.
Ye Weiwei certainly is a prankster, and along with the last ti, Xiaofan's elder sister had tricked him twice now.
"Co on, you even made this joke."
"Ah, you're allowed to joke about us, but we can't joke about you, huh? You felt tense, sad, and unable to accept it, right? Oh, it's a pity; I should have taken a picture of your expression to show Weiwei and the others." Ye Weiwei, full of mischief. Clearly, the whole marriage and engagent story she spun was pure nonsense.
"Well, I did record it." Han Shengjun, sitting to the side, casually took out his phone, which not only captured images but also recorded the whole audio clearly.
"Nicely done."
'Clap.'
The two seed to have developed a rapport in daily life, and after Han Shengjun recorded the video, they imdiately high-fived in celebration.
"Old Han, birds of a feather flock together; are you planning to spend your lifeti with my sister? Look at her now; it shows you won't have much say at ho in the future." Xiaofan smiled helplessly, not forgetting to tease Ye Weiwei.
"Well, I..."
"Watch your words." Ye Weiwei gave Han Shengjun a peculiar look.
"Ahem, I'd buy it willingly." Faced with Ye Weiwei's glare, Han Shengjun answered lightning-fast.
"Wow... showing off your love, huh."
"Hahaha."
Hearing Han Shengjun's words at this mont, everyone started to tease, while Ye Weiwei, with a face full of happiness, hugged Han Shengjun's arm, looking both shy and joyful.
Seeing everyone doing well, Xiaofan's face lit up with a smile again, although Ye Weiwei's joke had nearly scared him to death earlier.
But if Ye Weiwei's earlier comnts were jokes, then why hadn't i'Er, Liu Siyan, and Chen ngying shown up?
Even if Xiaofan hadn't inford them of his return, part of the reason was to avoid disrupting their normal lives. Still, even without notifying them, Xiaofan had already shown up in today's match; hadn't any of them watched TV?
"Alright, no more jokes. To be honest with you, they're... still waiting for you. They've always been waiting for you." After calming down from the joke, Ye Weiwei resud speaking to Xiaofan as she normally would.
Silently observing Ye Weiwei, Xiaofan waited for her next words.
"As for i'Er, I don't need to speak much about her personality. You're fully aware of the situation between and her before, so she would rather die than switch to a new partner, though what she's been busy with recently, I don't really know. Siyan's life is also fulfilling; after graduation, the school invited her to stay as a dance instructor. Recently, she has been with a group performing plays, just last week three consecutive plays were staged in the city. They're currently preparing a new the. Although I said the engagent earlier was false, but..."
