Chapter 1043: Chapter 1043: Are You Worried About Me?
Pair them up?
Lian Qingyang instinctively didn’t like the idea. He furrowed his brow and asked, "Sis, are you addicted to being a matchmaker? What kind of partner does Jin Yan want that makes you feel like you need to pair them up?"
Tang Yue, seeing Lian Qingyang’s furrowed brow, wanted to celebrate with fireworks because her silly brother finally showed some insight. She suppressed her laughter and said innocently, "It’s Xiao Yan who asked me to introduce her to a potential match. Even your brother-in-law thinks the guy is nice. Although Xu Zhi isn’t that handsome, you shouldn’t just look at his face when marrying a husband, right?"
"She’s not that old either, why the rush to go on blind dates?" Lian Qingyang raised his eyebrows and looked at Tang Yue skeptically, muttering, "Seems like she’s worried she won’t be able to get married."
"Xiao Yang, when a man grows up, he should marry, and when a woman grows up, she should wed. If you don’t want to get married, does that mean no one around you can either?" Tang Yue glared at him. She had just praised him for being insightful, but now he was acting silly again.
Luckily, Jin Yan wasn’t there; otherwise, hearing what he said, wouldn’t she be upset again?
What woman can tolerate Lian Qingyang’s venomous tongue?
"If you’ve got nothing to do, don’t just hang around the house. It’s making me annoyed," Tang Yue was so angry she didn’t want to deal with him. Was this silly brother really her own brother?
Lian Qingyang looked innocent: "..."
What did he do?
*
Over the next few days, Lian Qingyang had nothing to do. Gu Chun had practically driven him to eat at home every day, so even Zhang Hualian was surprised. She asked, "Xiao Yang, you’re usually so busy you’re never home. Why are you home every day lately?"
"Mom, you’re not complaining that I eat too much, are you?" Lian Qingyang replied cheekily, grinning.
Zhang Hualian shifted her gaze from the TV screen to Lian Qingyang’s face. His appearance was excellent, bearing some resemblance to Tang Yue, but with a bit more masculinity. His smile was as dazzling as the sun. Her own son, in every aspect, was good, except when it came to romance, completely oblivious. At his age, with so many girls who like him, it wouldn’t hurt for him to take a liking to any of them!
But, what about him?
Not interested in anyone, hasn’t even dated, just work, work, work every day.
"I think you should eat even more." Zhang Hualian said earnestly.
Lian Qingyang was puzzled.
Zhang Hualian explained, "If you’d get married and have a child, more mouths to feed would make Mom very happy."
Lian Qingyang: "..."
He made an excuse to slip away and went to the studio next door. Tang Yue was busy preparing for a fashion show scheduled for next spring. She had already prepared most of the outfits, and a few ready-made ones were hanging up, looking quite pleasing.
Suddenly, Lian Qingyang overheard Li Yongmei in the studio saying, "Looks like before long, we’ll be able to attend Jin Yan’s wedding celebration."
"I think Xu Zhi is pretty nice, very considerate towards Jin Yan. Sister Xiao Yue, we also want to find such a considerate husband. It doesn’t have to be someone as successful as Xu Zhi, maybe just a team leader or an ordinary employee, as long as he’s a good person!" Yang Na chimed in.
Tang Yue was managing the newly made samples and said, "Sure, I’ll ask Si Yu to help introduce you to someone. Who knows, you might really meet someone you like."
"Thank you, Sister Xiao Yue." Yang Na said happily.
Lian Qingyang interrupted, "Sis, how long have Jin Yan and that Xu Zhi known each other, and they’re already getting serious?"
"Some people spend years together and still aren’t meant for each other." Tang Yue said, full of meaning.
"But, deciding to marry someone you’ve just met for a few days, isn’t that too fast?" Lian Qingyang thought it was too hasty.
And how did Jin Yan fall for Xu Zhi?
He’s not particularly good-looking, and although being a platoon leader is an official position, compared to the brother-in-law, it’s a far cry.
"How is it too fast?" Tang Yue replied casually. Outside in the courtyard, Jin Yan had returned, brought back by Xu Zhi, who also brought a lot of snacks for everyone to share.
"Aren’t they just a few boxes of sticky rice rolls?"
Seeing those boxes of sticky rice rolls, Lian Qingyang thought to himself, though they were supposed to be sweet, they somehow tasted strange in his mouth.
Before finishing even one, Lian Qingyang spat it out and found Jin Yan’s happy smile even more annoying.
"Jin Yan, you’re too easily appeased. Are you going to marry him just for some snacks and drinks?" Lian Qingyang seized the opportunity while Jin Yan went to the storage to get some materials and followed her.
Jin Yan, looking for the fabric she needed, answered back, "Xu Zhi is a good person. What snacks and drinks? Do you think I’m that shallow?"
She didn’t admit it, but neither did she deny it. In Lian Qingyang’s mind, that was as good as admitting it.
Lian Qingyang raised an eyebrow, "You’ve only known him for a few days and already think he’s nice. Who knows, he might be a wolf in sheep’s clothing."
"Nonsense." Jin Yan retorted, "Sister Xiao Yue wouldn’t harm me, would she?"
"Of course my sister wouldn’t harm you."
Lian Qingyang answered without thinking, then added, "You never really know someone’s heart. You better not sell yourself short for a few snacks and drinks."
Jin Yan gazed steadily at him, the person she had secretly liked for years. This matchmaking plan, she hesitated for a long time initially, but in the end, she decided to take one more risk. If they really had no fate, she thought she’d listen to her grandpa and parents and find someone they deemed suitable to marry.
"I, I’m serious, marriage is a big deal and shouldn’t be done hastily." Lian Qingyang was uneasy under Jin Yan’s gaze.
Jin Yan asked, "Is this you caring about me?"
Upon hearing this, Lian Qingyang quickly shook his head and said, "I just can’t stand seeing people being stupid."
Hurt, Jin Yan’s face turned slightly pale. She swiftly turned away, lowered her eyes, and paused while searching for materials. Her hands moved quickly, and although the fabrics were familiar, everything seemed blurry.
Lian Qingyang realized he might have said something wrong. Watching her back as she searched, he moved his lips but didn’t manage to say a word.
Apologizing wasn’t his strong suit, so he awkwardly muttered a sentence before leaving.
"You’ve only known him for a few days. How can you be sure he’s good?" Lian Qingyang thought Jin Yan was being foolish, still defending him!
The more Lian Qingyang thought about it, the angrier he became, so he decided to go back to work. However, Gu Chun had already finished everything, leaving nothing for him to do. With nothing else, he went to visit Meng Siyu at the company.
"What brings you here?" Meng Siyu was surprised to hear that Lian Qingyang had come over.
Lian Qingyang craned his neck. Everyone in the company was in camouflage uniforms, impossible to tell who was who. He said, "Brother-in-law, I’m just here with nothing to do, just browsing."
"Take your time browsing," Meng Siyu said before getting back to work.
Lian Qingyang paced inside the office, sometimes walking around, other times looking out the hallway, trying to clearly see what made Xu Zhi so appealing!
