Xu Nianhua restrained her smile and said seriously, "Brother Lie, maybe there will be more choices in the future, but in my heart, Brother Cheng is the best."
"Unless he betrays me, otherwise, I’ve decided on him for this lifetime." Xu Nianhua’s tone was very serious. She really liked the Su Family, liked her dad Su Jinrong who quietly cared for her, liked her gentle mom Jiang Wanru, and liked her brother who was increasingly becoming protective.
Similarly, she also liked Pei Yicheng, and she really hoped the Su Family could accept her, not make it difficult for her.
Su Lie: "..."
"If he dares to betray you, I’ll make him taste my fist." Su Lie raised his big fist, afraid his expression would scare his sister, he softened his tone and said, "He’s waiting for you outside, so give him a chance to prove himself today."
"Brother Cheng is here?" Xu Nianhua was excited and wanted to run outside, but after taking a step, she paused, raised a smile, and said, "Thank you, Brother Lie."
"Go ahead, if he bullies you, you must tell me!" Su Lie repeatedly urged.
Xu Nianhua: Why does she feel that Su Lie wants Brother Cheng to bully her so he can rightfully chase him away?
Su Lie watched Xu Nianhua’s cheerful departing back and sighed: Little sister just got comfortable and now she has someone she wants to spend her life with.
Su Lie resented Jia Sufen; if it weren’t for Jia Sufen, sister would have surely grown up under their care.
Su Lie returned to the living room and called South City, inquiring about Jia Sufen’s situation, he was determined to make things difficult for Jia Sufen!
"Eh, Xiaolie, why are you still here? Nianhua is going to be late." Jiang Wanru came out after changing her clothes, expecting Su Lie had already sent Nianhua out, only to find him still in the living room.
"Yicheng came to pick up Nianhua." Su Lie shrugged and said, "I wanted to send her off but didn’t get the chance. He’s been busy with Xiyue Hotel’s matters and hasn’t had time to visit Nianhua."
"By the way, Mom, Nianhua seems to be set on Yicheng, she won’t marry anyone else." Su Lie thought of Xu Nianhua’s expression today and knew Nianhua feared they wouldn’t like Pei Yicheng, so she stated her stance first.
"Yicheng is such a good kid, I like him."
Jiang Wanru approved, although she couldn’t bear to part with her daughter, her daughter’s happiness was the most important. Seeing Su Lie’s unsatisfied expression, she asked, "Tell me then, what’s wrong with Pei Yicheng?"
"There’s plenty wrong with him..." Su Lie was just about to list a bunch, but after thinking it over, from his perspective, Pei Yicheng was indeed qualified to be his brother-in-law.
Pei Yicheng’s excellence was well-known; previously, because of saving someone, he couldn’t stand on his leg, and he remained low for two years. Now, he’s like a rising sun destined to shine brightly.
Su Lie snorted and said, "He’s older."
Jiang Wanru glanced at him and said, "Yicheng is four years older than Nianhua, how is that old? You’re five years older than Manyin, yet Manyin never complained about your age."
"Mom." Su Lie rubbed his head in frustration and said, "We’re talking about Nianhua now."
"Yicheng is someone we’ve watched grow up, he and Nianhua are mutual. It would cause Nianhua difficulty if we didn’t like Yicheng." Jiang Wanru had long understood it well, she said, "I know you can’t bear to let Nianhua go, nor can I, but we can’t be with her for her whole life."
Su Lie: "..."
He wanted to say he could take care of his sister for a lifetime, but he truly couldn’t give her happiness.
Xu Nianhua was unaware of the conversation between Su Lie and Jiang Wanru. She only knew that the moment she saw Pei Yicheng, her heart leaped in joy, and her mouth couldn’t help but curl upwards.
