At this moment, the door was gently pushed open, and Lei Tingyi and Ling Jiuan walked in hand in hand.

Ling Jiuan's face was filled with a happy smile, as warm and bright as the spring sunshine.

She immediately noticed the tense and solemn atmosphere in the room, and couldn't help but frowned slightly and asked softly.

"What do you want to know? Why are you all so angry?"

Her voice was gentle and peaceful, but it seemed to have an invisible force that instantly dissolved the tense atmosphere in the room.

Liuzhu and Liuying looked at each other and saw the hesitation and uneasiness in each other's eyes, but they didn't know how to start.

Chen Yan's face was filled with indignation. He stared at Lei Tingyi as if he wanted to see through him.

However, under Ling Jiuan's gentle gaze, he had to temporarily suppress his anger. He just snorted coldly and said nothing more.

Lei Tingyi noticed the unusual behavior of the crowd. He gently held Ling Jiuan's hand, giving her silent support and comfort.

Then he spoke slowly, his voice steady and firm.

"What happened? If there is any misunderstanding, we can sit down and talk slowly."

His attitude was sincere and frank, as if he was not afraid of any questioning or criticism.

However, Liu Zhu and Liu Ying know that this matter is not that simple. It concerns Ling Jiuan's happiness and future, as well as the friendship and trust between them.

So Liuying plucked up her courage and told Lei Tingyi and Ling Jiuan what Chen Yan had said and their doubts.

After listening to Ling Jiuan, a trace of astonishment and confusion flashed across her face. She turned to look at Lei Tingyi, her eyes flashing with inquiry and expectation.

Lei Tingyi took a deep breath and spoke slowly, telling everyone the truth of the matter and the engagement between him and Yu Lingxi.

Lei Tingyi's voice echoed in the house, carrying a hint of helplessness and relief.

"Sister Lingxi and I were just a joke between our parents when we were young. At that time, we were still young and didn't understand what an engagement was or what responsibility was. The so-called engagement was just a way of marriage between two families, and it was never really recognized by us."

He paused and looked at Ling Jiuan tenderly, as if to assure her of his sincerity.

"Later, I met Jiuan, and then I understood what true love is and who is worth protecting. So, I have written a letter to Brother Yu to explain the situation, hoping that they can understand and cancel this non-existent engagement."

As Ling Jiuan listened to Lei Tingyi's explanation, the doubts and uneasiness in his heart gradually dissipated.

She looked at Lei Tingyi's determined eyes, as if she saw his inner sincerity and determination.

So, she gently held Lei Tingyi's hand, giving him silent support and encouragement.

Liuzhu and Liuying looked at each other and saw the relief and satisfaction in each other's eyes.

Chen Yan snorted coldly. Although he was still unwilling and angry in his heart, under Ling Jiuan's happy smile, he had to admit that Lei Tingyi was indeed a person worthy of entrusting his life to.

So he spoke slowly, with a hint of reluctance and blessing in his voice.

"In that case, I hope you can continue to be happy. However, if you, Lei Tingyi, dare to let Jiu'an down, I, Chen Yan, will never let you go!"

His voice echoed in the room, with a hint of menace and determination.

However, under the happy smiles of everyone, this threat seemed so weak and pale.

At this moment, a gentle and slightly hesitant voice suddenly came from the door, interrupting the warm atmosphere in the room.

"Tingyi, I have something to tell you."

Although the sound was soft, it was enough to draw everyone's attention to the door.

Everyone looked back and saw Yu Lingxi standing there. Her figure looked a little thin under the dim light, but her eyes were unusually bright, as if they could see into people's hearts.

Her appearance caused the waves that had originally subsided to stir up again.

Lei Tingyi's expression changed slightly. He obviously did not expect Yu Lingxi to appear at this time.

However, he tried to remain calm, nodded slightly, and replied.

"it is good."

His words were brief and powerful, as if making his determination and position clear to everyone.

Then, he slowly walked towards Yu Lingxi, and the two walked out of the house together, leaving behind a room full of doubts and speculations.

Ling Jiuan looked at their backs and couldn't help feeling an inexplicable emotion in his heart.

She believed in Lei Tingyi and believed that their relationship could withstand any test.

However, facing the appearance of Yu Lingxi, she still couldn't help feeling a little worried and uneasy.

Liuzhu and Liuying looked at each other and saw the worry and helplessness in each other's eyes.

They knew that this matter was not that simple. It concerned the happiness and future of two people, as well as the grievances and entanglements between the two families.

Chen Yan snorted coldly, as if he was not surprised by Yu Lingxi's appearance.

He glanced at the door coldly, then turned to look at Ling Jiuan.

"Jiuan, don't worry. Tingyi is a responsible person and will not let you down easily."

Upon hearing this, Ling Jiuan nodded slightly.

Lei Tingyi followed Yu Lingxi to a quiet courtyard. The moonlight was like water, filling the entire space and adding a touch of softness to the night.

He stopped, turned to look at Yu Lingxi, and spoke lightly.

"Sister Lingxi, what do you want to say to me?"

Yu Lingxi looked at him, her eyes full of persistence and affection, as if she wanted to pour out all the thoughts she had been having for many years.

"Tingyi, you should know that I have been looking forward to marrying you for many years. I have always kept this feeling in my heart and it has never changed."

Lei Tingyi was stunned when he heard this, and a hint of astonishment and confusion flashed in his eyes.

"How is that possible? You watched me grow up, and you have always been like my sister..."

There was a hint of doubt and rejection in his words, and it was obvious that he could not accept this sudden confession.

Yu Lingxi looked at him with a bitter smile on her lips.

"Yes, I watched you grow up. But this does not hinder my feelings for you. Tingyi, I know you have Jiuan in your heart, but I also hope you can give me a chance to prove to you that I am the most suitable person for you."

There was a hint of pleading and determination in her voice, as if she was making a final fight for her own happiness.

Lei Tingyi looked at her, with mixed emotions welling up in his heart.

He knew that Yu Lingxi was an excellent girl and had always been his good friend.

However, there was only Ling Jiuan in his heart and no room for anyone else.

So he took a deep breath and spoke slowly.

"Sister Lingxi, I am grateful for your feelings for me. However, there is only Jiuan in my heart. I hope you can understand and find the happiness that truly belongs to you."

His voice was firm yet gentle, as if he was putting an end to this impossible relationship.

Yu Lingxi looked at him, with a hint of loss and helplessness in her eyes.

However, she also knew that love cannot be forced.

So she nodded gently, with a hint of relief and blessing in her voice.

"alright, I got it."
