"Gentlemen, you've come all the way from Yushan County. I hope you're finding your stay comfortable?" Deng Jianyuan stood with his hands behind his back, calmly looking at the three people in the courtyard.
"If you're not comfortable, why not come to my place? Let me show you some hospitality."
Hearing this, Deng Mingxu, who had been silently complaining in his heart about how aloof the family elder was, causing Miss Lin Rou to feel neglected yesterday and dragging him down as well, now felt a surge of joy.
The family elder was going to help him propose the marriage!
Jiang Chengyun looked over in surprise, then nodded after a moment.
"Thank you for your hospitality."
Deng Jianyuan smiled, his gaze sweeping over the three of them without lingering.
It was as if he didn't recognize Shen Yi at all.
He dismissed the family members and turned to walk deeper into the compound.
When they arrived at the destination, Jiang Chengyun finally understood where the unease in his heart was coming from.
In the courtyard stood a figure in a red robe.
Xiao Qiangwei was playing with a string of jade beads, seemingly bored, and casually tossed them onto the stone table.
