Chapter 120 - 120: He Was Willing to Marry, I Was Willing to Get Married
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Meng Chuyuan had never dated anyone.
Now that she thought about it, her marriage with Lu Qingye was quite hasty.
“You’re… you’re married?” The auntie who asked the question just now looked surprised. There was a hint of pity at the end of her sentence.
Meng Chuyuan replied calmly, “Yes.”
The auntie smiled awkwardly. “I thought that young people like you would focus on your careers now. At most, you would have a partner…”
This auntie was considered a matchmaker in the village. When the young ladies saw a handsome young man, they could not help but go forward and ask her for help. If he was still single, she would warmly introduce him to them.
According to the auntie’s generation, it was not strange for Meng Chuyuan to be married at this age.
However, times were different now. After graduating from university, the youths now were already in their twenties, and they still had to work for three to five years. Only when their situation was stabilized, would they consider marriage.
Meng Chuyuan happened to be the one who completed things in reverse.
She said, “We have to get married sooner or later. If he’s willing to marry me, then I’m willing to get married.”
[Let me make a prediction. I’m checking-in the trending searches first.]
[What a heartbreaking sentence. If he’s willing to marry me, then I’m willing to get married. Boohoo.]
[Our Sister Meng got married early in her youth. The production team is really going to remind me that I don’t have a chance with her every once in a while.]
[Every time I hear Sister Meng talk about marriage, I feel that Mr. Lu is lucky to be able to marry such a good-looking, pleasant-spoken, high EQ high IQ, and considerate and gentle woman like Sister Meng.]
[But it’s obvious to the naked eye that Sister Meng is doing well guys. I think we can say that this wealthy family will not label her as an abandoned wife in the future anymore, right?]
[Auntie, please introduce a wealthy man to me. I really need one but I can’t find any. Why didn’t the country send one to me?]
Meng Chuyuan did not think too much about it.
Lu Qingye’s appearance made her feel that the world was not that unbearable.
She was willing to stay by his side.
Seeing that Meng Chuyuan was so calm and composed, they thought that she must have been living well now. The auntie was sincerely happy for her. “Not bad, not bad.”
The auntie was experienced, so she could naturally see Meng Chuyuan’s state of mind. This should be the life Meng Chuyuan wanted after marriage. The auntie chatted with Meng Chuyuan for a while and quickly turned her attention to Qi Yan.
Qi Yan did look a little older, but the auntie still came over to chat with her.
The auntie took out a handful of melon seeds from her pocket and held them in her palm. As she munched on them, she walked towards Qi Yan. “Sister, why are you sitting here alone?”
Qi Yan replied coldly, “It’s cooler here. I want to enjoy the breeze.”
She happened to be sitting on a stone bench in front of the bamboo forest. As the evening breeze blew past, the bamboo leaves behind her rustled. Her shadow on the ground was covered by the tall bamboo shadows.
The auntie sat down beside her and subconsciously crossed her legs. She turned her body slightly and faced Qi Yan.
She munched on melon seeds and secretly observed Qi Yan.
After a while, the auntie spread out the melon seeds in her palm and extended them to Qi Yan. “Do you want some?”
Qi Yan narrowed her eyes and said coldly, “No, thank you.”
She only wanted the live-stream to end quickly so that she could go back and rest early.
Since the start of the chatting segment, not a single villager had come over to chat with Qi Yan. She could only sit in the shadows and try her best to reduce her presence.
After filming the variety show for a few days, Qi Yan finally realized that as long as her content was boring enough, the cameraman would not focus on her.
No one would watch such a live-stream. Most importantly, they would have to spend time editing it after filming it.
However, at this moment, the cameraman had already consciously turned on the recording equipment so that the audience could hear what they were talking about.
Seeing that she had rejected her, the auntie could only silently retract her hand.
Not long after, the auntie found another topic to talk about. “Is your brother the youngest?”
As the auntie spoke, her gaze landed on Ting Jiu.
Qi Yan looked up and glanced at Ting Jiu. She said coldly, “He’s not my younger brother.”
If she hadn’t realized that she was still live-streaming, she might have blurted out the words “I don’t have a younger brother”.
“No wonder I didn’t think the two of you looked alike.” The auntie smiled awkwardly and continued to munch on melon seeds, but it did not seem to ease her embarrassment.
Qi Yan’s lukewarm attitude really troubled the auntie. Even the audience was embarrassed for her.
[Auntie, do you have enough melon seeds? I’m afraid that you’ll be even more embarrassed if you finish them later.]
[Coincidentally, I’m also munching on melon seeds. After Auntie finishes munching, I’ll munch on the melon seeds for her, hahaha.]
[I’m dying of laughter. Even through the screen, I can feel how awkward Auntie is.]
[Qi Yan is really… The elder saw that you were alone and came over to chat with you out of kindness. Why are you like this?]
[Auntie is so cute, hahaha. This scene is very similar to when my father wants to care about me but is unable to find a topic to talk about.]
On the other hand, the Liao sisters seemed to be quite popular.
Because the sisters looked alike, the uncles and aunties couldn’t tell them apart. It took them a long time to figure out their identities.
Liao Jiayan was slightly more silent. Usually, it was others who asked her for an answer and she rarely took the initiative to speak. Liao Jiake was different.
She had grown up in front of the camera and had done many news interviews.
She seemed to be more eloquent.
However, as they chatted and stopped identifying who they were to the villagers, the villagers started to mix the two of them up again.
The young man who had voted for their group from the beginning suddenly thought of the vegetable salad. He could not help but praise, “Ke Ke, you’re really clever. You were very attentive when making the salad.” After Liao Jiayan heard this, the smile on her face disappeared. Her voice was flat and emotionless. “I’m not Ke Ke.’
When the man realized that he had recognized the wrong person, he immediately apologized to Liao Jiayan. “I’m sorry, I recognized the wrong person.”
[What? Is it really that hard to tell them apart?]
[Ke Ke is the one who looks more photogenic. Sister looks more plain. Can’t you tell?]
[I suspect that this young man is either short-sighted or has face blindness.
The good-looking and elegant one is Ke Ke.]
[Save my freaking life!! How can someone chat with them all night and still not be able to tell who’s the older sister and who’s the younger sister?]
Liao Jiayan still minded a little, but seeing that his attitude was not bad, she apologized to him in time. Hence, she replied shallowly, “It’s okay.”
After a while, the young man specially walked up to Liao Jiake and said something similar to what he had said before. “Ke Ke, you put a lot of effort into making that salad, especially that cucumber. It was cut very well and the plating was especially beautiful.”
Liao Jiayan was standing next to her sister. She had heard every word.
“…” She was the one who made the vegetable salad.. Why did he feel that Liao Jiake made it?
