Tang Li nodded in agreement, and the marriage was settled.
Even though it was merely a verbal engagement now, with Song Baiyan personally visiting, the chances of change were minimal.
"As long as you agree!" Lai Wenyan nodded, then looked at Tang Li with increasingly gentle eyes: "His Excellency came specifically for you tonight, even I can see that he is very fond of you. Some emotional entanglements need to be cleanly severed!"
These words were both a warning and an encouragement.
Tang Li curved her lips into a smile: "I will remember Dad’s words, His Excellency is very good, and once I marry him, I’ll live a good life with him and won’t bring any shame to our family."
"Since you understand yourself, I am reassured."
Meanwhile, in Old Madam Lai’s room.
Even with Song Baiyan visiting like this, she wasn’t particularly happy, as it was not her precious granddaughter that he intended to marry.
Old Madam Lai called Ouyang Qian over, not wanting her daughter-in-law to overthink.
At the moment, she held Ouyang Qian’s hand, comforting her: "Even if Tang Li marries Song Baiyan, the Lai Family’s legitimate granddaughters are only Xiaxia and Yuanyuan. As for her, she’s merely a distant relative of the Lai Family, and in my heart, you’re the only daughter-in-law I recognize."
Ouyang Qian didn’t answer, recalling Lai Wenyan’s repeated infidelities.
"As things stand, we can only appease her." Old Madam Lai sighed deeply: "Make her happy, and then Xiaxia’s matters can be settled."
Mentioning the issue with her eldest daughter, Ouyang Qian finally spoke: "I understand, don’t worry, Mom. I was able to accept Ah Li before, and now that she’s marrying Song Baiyan, I certainly won’t mistreat her."
Seeing her daughter-in-law’s sensibility, Old Madam Lai felt even more regret: "If it were Yuanyuan marrying into the Song Family, there wouldn’t be so many issues now."
Tang Li, being rebellious by nature, will likely never acknowledge the good of the Lai Family when she achieves success.
Unlike Yuanyuan, whom she raised by her side since childhood.
Ouyang Qian didn’t continue to indulge in nostalgia with her mother-in-law. Returning to the master bedroom, she found Lai Wenyan showering. She opened a drawer of the dressing table and took out a small medicine bottle.
After getting out of the shower, Lai Wenyan saw Ouyang Qian removing her makeup.
He picked up the glass on the bedside table, drinking down most of the warm water.
In the master bedroom, the cellphone buzzed with vibrations.
Lai Wenyan glanced at it; it was another message from Jiang Yiniing, asking when he’d come to the apartment.
Being asked repeatedly for days, he felt a bit impatient inside.
Lai Wenyan tossed the cellphone aside and directly lifted the quilt to get into bed. When Ouyang Qian finished her shower, a light fragrance wafted in.
Realizing they hadn’t been intimate recently, Lai Wenyan rolled over, pressing Ouyang Qian beneath him. Even though she was older, she wasn’t without charm.
Lai Wenyan reached out to remove Ouyang Qian’s nightgown.
Ouyang Qian cooperated, letting out a moan.
After about twenty minutes, having explored Ouyang Qian’s body, he was still flaccid. Sensing something was wrong, his face clouded with displeasure. Some men experience decreased libido in their fifties, but he hadn’t expected it to happen to him!
Not wanting Ouyang Qian to notice, Lai Wenyan excused himself and left her, taking the cellphone to the study.
He closed the study door and swept everything off the desk in a fit of anger!
His body had been fine just days ago!
Or was it that Ouyang Qian wasn’t attractive enough to him?
Ignoring everything else, Lai Wenyan grabbed his car keys and drove overnight to Jiang Yiniing’s apartment.
However, regardless of what Jiang Yiniing did, he still couldn’t react.
