Chapter 296: Chapter 297: Marry Her First, Talk Later

"It’s just..." Xu Nianhua hesitated for a moment, waved her hand, and said, "Never mind."

Talking to her brother was like talking to a block of wood; it was a waste of saliva.

"How strange." Xu Nian’an watched his little sister go back to her room, completely baffled. He said, "Nianhua, I’m going to the village tomorrow to pick Fruit Jelly berries. Do you want to go back to the village?"

"No."

Xu Nianhua’s voice came from the room. If she went back to the village and up the mountain to pick Fruit Jelly berries, she would just hold her brother back. It was better to go help out at the factory instead, especially since she was about to go to Beining University. It was time to make a good plan for herself.

...

"Cheng Hao, do you realize how silly you look when you smile?" Ling Dong didn’t hesitate to tease him, even fetching a mirror from the room and placing it in front of Cheng Hao.

In the mirror, Cheng Hao’s already handsome face looked even more suave due to his smile, and the twinkle in his peach blossom eyes made him appear even more charming. Not to mention others, even Cheng Hao himself was quite pleased as he touched his face and said, "Truly handsome!"

Ling Dong: "Truly silly."

"Are you just jealous of me?" Cheng Hao said, looking smug. For the past six months, his relationship with Yaru had been incredibly sweet, and his days had been filled with happiness.

Zou Yaru was different from any girlfriend he had before; she made him feel the urge to cherish her and the impulse to marry her and take her home.

"Pfft."

Ling Dong rolled his eyes and, surveying Cheng Hao’s dopey smile, said, "Cheng Hao, none of your past girlfriends lasted more than three months. Are you, serious?".

"Of course."

When the topic of Yaru came up, Cheng Hao immediately became serious and said, "The relationship with Yaru isn’t just for fun. I’m going to marry her, so you’d better be more polite to Yaru from now on."

"We’ll see if you can marry her," Ling Dong didn’t have high hopes for them. Even though Zou Yaru was pretty and seemed unworldly, he always felt there was something fake about her.

How could someone truly be unworldly?

"Ling Dong, what do you mean? Are you trying to rain on my parade or pick a fight with me? How about we throw down?"

Upon hearing Ling Dong’s remark, Cheng Hao immediately flared up like a lion with his hackles raised. He rolled up his bare arms, clenched his fists, and looked ready for a challenge with Ling Dong.

"Let’s fight then."

Ling Dong didn’t care and got ready to throw down immediately.

The formerly quiet courtyard instantly came to life. Since the age of eight, Ling Dong had been training with Pei Yicheng; whenever Yicheng practiced his skills, Ling Dong would double his efforts. Over the years, Ling Dong never missed a day of training.

Compared to Cheng Hao, who was inconsistent like a fisherman who’d fish for three days and dry the nets for two, Cheng Hao was completely outmatched.

Pei Yicheng watched from the entrance of the yard, clearly aware that Ling Dong had held back.

"I’m done."

Cheng Hao, having vented all his energy, collapsed ungracefully onto a nearby lounge chair. While catching his breath, he said, "Ling Dong, I’ll pretend I never heard what you said today."

"Just a reminder," Ling Dong said, dusting off his clothes, his brows still furrowed. He meant well, but why did Cheng Hao turn into an idiot when he was in love?

Pei Yicheng, seeing that they were on the verge of another argument, stepped in, "Ling Dong, go to the new factory tomorrow. There’s a document that needs to be reviewed."

Ling Dong glanced at Cheng Hao and eventually left without saying much. The documents had already been taken care of.

Once Ling Dong was gone, only he and Pei Yicheng remained in the courtyard. He hung his head, looking at his dust-covered leather shoes, and asked, "Yicheng, do you not approve of us either?"
