Li Family.
Li Tingyan called his parents, Li Zhenhua and Shang Wan, last night saying he would co back today, and also ntioned he would bring soone to introduce to them.
So early in the morning, Shang Wan tidied up Li Tingyan’s room until it was spotless.
This year, Li Tingyan only ca back two or three tis, stayed for a few days and then left, spending the least ti with everyone.
Therefore, everyone in the family valued him very much, and after dinner, they all gathered in the living room, waiting for him.
"Auntie, it’s been so long, when exactly will Second Brother arrive?"
The one speaking was Li Tingyan’s little cousin, Li Siqi. He’s the youngest in the family but has the best relationship with Li Tingyan. Since the family is harmonious, they call each other by rank as brothers, without using formal nas.
Little Li Siqi admired his older brother very much, who could do anything, and he was most looking forward to seeing Li Tingyan.
Shang Wan smiled and said, "It should be another half hour; he’s been on the train for over two hours now, and it will take just over ten minutes to take a cab over."
"By the way, didn’t you say Tingyan would bring soone ho today? Who is he bringing?" Li Tingyan’s second aunt, Liu Yue, asked curiously.
Flipping through the newspaper, Li Zhenhua said,
"He didn’t say, probably a friend of his. Make a nice dinner tonight, don’t neglect the guest!"
Li Tingyan’s cousin, Li Dongnan, said, "In all these years, Tingyan has never brought a friend ho, and even if he did, he wouldn’t ntion it specifically. I feel like who he’s bringing this ti might be his significant other."
Upon hearing this, Shang Wan’s expression changed, and Li Dongnan’s mom, Liu Yue, patted him on the shoulder, "What nonsense are you talking about? What significant other? Tingyan has been single for so long, there’s no way he has a girlfriend.
Besides, if he had a girlfriend, the daughter from the Chu Family would be heartbroken. She’s liked Tingyan for over ten years. If everything goes as planned, our two families will officially get engaged when Tingyan cos back this ti!"
Li Dongnan scoffed, "With Tingyan’s cold nature, he’s never been nice to Chu Huan since they were kids. Would he agree to this? I think you’re setting yourselves up for a fall!"
"Don’t say such things!"
Shang Wan glared at Li Dongnan, "You’ve already started a family, your wife is pregnant, and in a few months, you’ll be a dad. Why talk so carelessly? Talking about failure and disasters, it’s so inauspicious!"
Li Dongnan shrugged, "Aunt, but I really think Tingyan won’t agree to marry Chu Huan. I suggest you all stay out of it and let Tingyan decide for himself. Right, honey?"
Li Dongnan’s wife, Zhang Yun, gently stroked her slightly protruding belly and smiled without saying a word. She was a smart woman and agreed with her husband’s view.
But since she was just the daughter-in-law of the Li Family, how could she openly contradict the elders?
Shang Wan huffed, "Let him decide? His decision is to stay single forever and cut off our family line. Do you think I can agree to that?
Anyway, he has no feelings for any woman. Wouldn’t it be the sa to marry anyone?"
"Besides, little Huan likes him so much; she’d consider his needs in the future, take good care of him, and be the best wife for our Tingyan, an excellent wife candidate. He must marry her!!!"
Hearing this, the surroundings fell silent, and Li Dongnan laughed unceremoniously.
His aunt was good in many ways, just sotis a bit narrow-minded, often considering things in a one-track way.
It was well-known that Chu Huan liked Li Tingyan, but that pampered, delicate young lady, could she really take care of Li Tingyan?
Being a good wife is one thing; it would be good enough if she doesn’t hold Tingyan back!
