“So… So you’re just shocked that Mo Beihan is suddenly engaged and only came to verify it?”
Ji Mingyue looked at him. “If not?”
Ji Mingzhe: …
Ji Mingzhe’s reaction was very fast too – after the surprise, he quickly returned to normal and said, “All right, you’ve verified it. He did indeed get engaged. Although I am quite surprised as well… he did find a partner before me!”
Ji Mingyue replied, “Why don’t you hurry and learn from him then?”
Ji Mingzhe responded, “I got it, I got it! I don’t wish to be single my whole life either, okay!”
The siblings headed home while chatting.
Those who were watching from the sidelines were surprised. Many of them knew that Ji Mingyue took a fancy to Mo Beihan but did not say it out explicitly. Now that Mo Beihan suddenly said he was engaged and Ji Mingyue rushed over once she heard the news, all of them thought that there would be a commotion!
No one expected this outcome.
Ji Mingzhe sent his younger sister all the way back home.
They worked around here and thus lived here. When they reached home, Ji Mingyue walked into the living room and could no longer hold her tears back anymore. Her eyes reddened instantly and tears trickled down her cheeks.
“Younger Sister…”
“Boohoo…” Ji Mingyue bawled loudly.
Shocked, Ji Mingzhe hurriedly rushed over to comfort her, “Younger Sister… Younger Sister! Don’t cry! I will find you a better man, all right? Uh… Don’t cry, all right…”
“Boohoo… Eldest Brother, why do you think Mo Beihan doesn’t like me? Am I not good? Boohoo…”
“No, no. My younger sister is the best! You’re intelligent, cute, kind and generous. It’s Mo Beihan’s loss that he doesn’t like you.”
Ji Mingyue cried even harder. “Boohoo… But I like him! Boohoo… Which part of me is not good? Why does he rather like a village bumpkin and not me? What’s good about a village girl? They’re ugly and wear old-fashioned clothes and speak so fiercely. What kind of taste does he have? Boohoo…”
Ji Mingzhe: …
His younger sister was really spoiled. Could she say such things?
Luckily, they were in their own house as they would get into trouble if they were outside and someone heard it.
“Alright, alright. Don’t cry anymore, all right? It’s Mo Beihan who doesn’t have any taste. I will find you an even better man next time, all right?”
Ji Mingyue was aggrieved. She was born into a good family, had four elder brothers and grew up while being doted on by everyone. Her life had always been smooth-sailing but unexpectedly, she faced a setback when it came to Mo Beihan. How upsetting!
Ji Mingzhe comforted her for quite some time. “Don’t cry anymore, all right? Your eyes will become swollen if you cry for long and you won’t be pretty then. You’re starving now, right? I’ll bring you to eat something, all right?”
Ji Mingyue still did not wish to give up so easily and said, “Eldest Brother, will Mo Beihan really marry that lady just like that? Won’t there be any unforeseen events? Do you think he will realize that that lady actually isn’t good after a period of time…”
“Mingyue!” Ji Mingzhe interrupted her. “No matter what Mo Beihan does, that is his own affair. Given my understanding of him, he will not easily change his decision since he has already decided on it.
“Such an important decision is not a joking matter.”
Ji Mingyue was about to break into tears again. “I… I just don’t want him… to… Uh… Eldest Brother, don’t you think that Mo Beihan is very different? I think that he is more outstanding and capable than most men. Why do you think he likes a village girl? This… is illogical!”
Ji Mingzhe sighed again. “Mingyue, there are many good ladies in the village as well. Not all of them are like those whom you saw before.”
