On the way to the restaurant, Fu Lang was actively engaging in conversation with Jiangli, and the more he talked, the more satisfied he became with her.
He really liked Jiangli’s disposition.
No wonder someone as dull as Fu Shiyan could fall for her.
She was the perfect complement to Fu Shiyan.
Fu Lang truly felt happy for Fu Shiyan.
When they arrived at the restaurant, Fu Lang, Fu Shiyan, and Jiangli sat together.
Xia Xin and the others had to sit a bit further away.
This was the Fu Family’s private restaurant, and they had already started preparing the dishes since they knew they would be coming.
Not long after they sat down, the waiter began serving dishes.
Seeing the table full of delicious food, Jiangli couldn’t contain her excitement; it was as if each strand of her hair was dancing with joy, her eyes sparkling as she stared at the spread before her.
Fu Shiyan’s lips curved into a smile as he took the initiative to peel shrimp and serve her vegetables.
Jiangli’s eyebrows seemed to come alive, and she was overjoyed.
Watching the blissfully ignorant Abbot, Xia Xin was greatly concerned.
He had the feeling that he was a worried old father.
This naïve ancestor... might get sold by Fu Shimyan and still happily count money for him.
The old ancestor was no match for the cunning of Fu Shiyan.
Xia Xin was nearly worried sick and couldn’t help but open his mouth, wanting to remind Jiangli.
But the moment he raised his head, he saw Fu Shiyan’s eyes.
Fu Shiyan was looking over as well.
Xia Xin immediately chickened out, hastily turning his head away, not sure why, but somehow he felt an unease around Fu Shiyan.
He also forgot what he was about to say a moment earlier.
"Lili ah..." Seeing the interaction between Fu Shiyan and Jiangli, Fu Lang was quite pleased, "To be honest, this is the first time I’ve seen Shiyan be so considerate and caring towards someone. Lili, what do you think of our Shiyan?"
Immersed in the delights of the food, Jiangli didn’t forget the promise she’d made to help Fu Shiyan and immediately started with the exaggerated flattery.
"Brother Shiyan is of course the best! Handsome and dashing, charming and gallant, with a countenance like Pan An’s, considerate and thoughtful, understanding and empathetic, perfect in every way, meticulous in every aspect, there’s no one better than Brother Shiyan."
Wen Zishu almost choked on his own saliva.
Duan Jianchuan’s mouth twitched.
The Abbot... didn’t need to try so hard.
Fu Lang couldn’t help but laugh, finding talking with Jiangli absolutely hilarious, as holding back laughter was too difficult.
He laughed and said, "So Lili also likes our Shiyan that much, huh?"
Jiangli nodded hastily, "Of course, who could not like Brother Shiyan, right, second uncle?"
Fu Shiyan nearly failed to maintain his composure and was amused by Jiangli.
Fu Lang’s eyes gleamed as he continued, "Then would Lili be willing to marry our Shiyan? As an elder, I obviously hope you two will get married soon. What do you think?"
The chopsticks in Xia Xin’s hand clattered onto the table.
Before he could react, Jiangli unthinkingly replied, "Sure, I’m okay with it."
If Fu Lang’s words were like dropping a pebble into a calm lake,
Then Jiangli’s words were like dropping a heavy bomb onto the placid surface.
The entire lake surface exploded, causing a tumultuous upheaval.
Everyone at the table suddenly turned to look at Jiangli.
Jiangli, who was eating shrimp and had no idea what she had just agreed to, noticed everyone’s gazes and suddenly realized what she had just consented to.
She immediately felt embarrassed.
Jiangli coughed and was about to make an excuse.
Xia Xin also wanted to speak.
The first to speak was Fu Shiyan.
"Lili is still young, let’s wait another two years." Fu Shiyan served Jiangli a piece of fish tail, "I want her to enjoy a couple more years of freedom."
