And just as everyone was preparing for the banquet.

In a guest room of the Fan family, Qin Yuelan looked at the news she had just received, and a hint of amusement appeared on the corner of her mouth.

"This old fox..."

"Mom, Sister Qiqi is going to choose a husband. Why do you look unhappy?" Qin Shuang walked over.

She has gotten much better under Yun Chen's treatment, but her face is still pale, and when she speaks, she sounds weak and fragile, which makes people feel particularly pity for her.

"Happy? Why should I be happy?" Qin Yuelan snorted coldly, then turned to Qin Shuang and asked, "Shuang'er, what do you think of your brother Chen?"

"what?"

Qin Shuang was slightly startled, and didn't react for a moment, but her cheeks soon turned red, and she said shyly: "Brother Chen is a very good person, handsome and gentle, and he can also heal illnesses and save lives..."

Qin Yuelan's eyes flashed, and she looked up at Qin Shuang: "If I ask you to marry him, would you be willing?"

"Ah? Mom..." Qin Shuang had never expected Qin Yuelan to suddenly ask such a question, and was stunned on the spot.

She has never been in a relationship since she was a child due to physical reasons. Even if she has someone she likes, she never dares to pursue him/her.

As time went by, she lost the desire to get married.

Now that she was suddenly asked this question, she was a little at a loss.

Qin Yuelan sighed and stroked Qin Shuang's head with some heartache: "Mom just wants to ask you, do you like Brother Chen?"

Qin Shuang bit her lip, her pretty face full of confusion.

She did have a very good impression of Yun Chen, but she didn't know whether she liked him or not.

"I should... like him, right? Brother Chen is so nice and so powerful, any girl should like him, right?" After hesitating for a moment, Qin Shuang spoke.

Qin Yuelan smiled when she heard this, pulled Qin Shuang to sit beside her, and asked, "If I marry you to Brother Chen, would you be willing?"

"what?"

Qin Shuang was stunned by this question and was at a loss.

Qin Yuelan said earnestly: "Only Brother Chen can cure your illness, but you can see that he doesn't seem willing. If you marry him, you will be his wife, and he will definitely spare no effort to save you... You also want to recover, right?"

"This...will Brother Chen agree?" Qin Shuang hesitated.

He has been sickly since he was a child, and many people say that he will not live past the age of 25. Which man would be willing to marry a short-lived person?

"As long as you agree, Mom will figure out the rest." Qin Yuelan looked at her daughter with certainty.

Qin Shuang blushed, lowered his head and said nothing.

Qin Yuelan smiled, then picked up her phone and made a call.

……

At the Zhao family, Yun Chen didn't know that he had been targeted. At this moment, he was in the living room of the Zhao family, looking at the betrothal gifts sent by the Fan family with a confused look on his face.

"Is this from the Fan family? A betrothal gift?"

Looking at the various jewels, contracts...gold...Yun Chen's mouth couldn't help but twitch.

What was the meaning of the Fan family sending a betrothal gift at this time? Could it be that someone in the Fan family had taken a fancy to his wife?

He had just saved the daughter of the Fan family, but the Fan family turned against him and set their sights on his wife?

"Aside from Miss Fan, the Fan family doesn't seem to have any male heirs. Why would they send a betrothal gift to our family?"

Mu Wanqiu also looked confused, with a frown on her face, somewhat confused.

Zhao Xiruo glanced at Yun Chen meaningfully: "Isn't this for you?"

She was also present when Yun Chen saved the daughter of the Fan family that day. Could it be that Miss Fan wanted to marry him in gratitude for saving her life?

"How is that possible? How have I qualified to do that..." Yun Chen shook his head without giving it any thought.

The Fan family already knew that he had a fiancée, so how could they still give him a betrothal gift?

What's more, he is not familiar with Fan Yuqi at all.

"That's strange..."

Zhao Xiruo touched her chin, looked at the luxurious betrothal gifts, and thought about something.

At this moment, Zhao Haiqiang's voice suddenly rang out from outside the door: "This was sent by the Zhang family on behalf of the Fan family."

"what?"

Hearing this news, Zhao Xiruo turned around in some surprise.

"Chen Wudao just came to the company in person, hoping that we can put aside our past grudges with the Zhang family and interact more often in the future."

Zhao Haiqiang walked in, picked up the teacup and took a sip of water, then continued, "It hasn't been long since the Fan family sent this betrothal gift. I think it must be Chen Wudao who asked Mr. Fan to propose on behalf of the Zhang family."

Zhao Xiruo: “…”

"By the way? And this..." Zhao Haiqiang suddenly remembered something when he said this, and casually took out an invitation from his pocket and handed it over.

"What is this?" Zhao Xiruo was a little confused.

Zhao Haiqiang said, "The Fan family is hosting a welcoming banquet for a prominent figure. Here's the invitation. I've asked around... In all of Longzhou, this is the only one personally delivered by Chen Wudao... Besides the Zhang family, who else has such a prestigious status?"

Zhao Haiqiang couldn't help but sigh as he spoke. He looked at Zhao Xiruo and said earnestly, "Daughter, the Zhang family is very sincere this time. Are you really not going to consider Zhang Yuanlong?"

"Dad, stop talking... There's no way I can marry Zhang Yuanlong. Besides, this is just your guess. How do you know that the betrothal gift from the Fan family is for me? Maybe it's for Yun Chen?" Zhao Xiruo retorted.

When Zhao Haiqiang heard this, he couldn't help but look at Yun Chen, and then a look of disdain appeared on his face: "Just him? Is he worthy?"

"Are the Fan family blind? Sending him a betrothal gift? A country bumpkin like him is not even worthy of guarding the Fan family's gate."

Yun Chen was a little dissatisfied: "Uncle Zhao, it's too much for you to belittle me like this. I am also very outstanding."

"Are you excellent?"

Zhao Haiqiang sneered: "If a country bumpkin like you could marry Miss Fan, would you still stay in our house?"

"If the betrothal gift is really for you, then I will beg you to marry my daughter even on my knees."

"Tsk, no need... I can't bear your kneeling." Yun Chen curled his lips.

"You..." Zhao Haiqiang glared at Yun Chen angrily.

"Okay, stop arguing... When is the welcoming party you mentioned? Should we go?" Mu Wanqiu interrupted the two.

Zhao Haiqiang's expression eased slightly, and he said solemnly, "We definitely have to go. It's said that most of the wealthy families in Longzhou will be attending the Fan family's welcoming banquet. They're definitely welcoming some big shots. If we don't go, won't we miss the chance to meet some big shots?"

Zhao Xiruo did not refute this time, but nodded: "Of course I will go, but..."

"But what?"

"Can we take Yunchen with us?" Zhao Xiruo thought for a moment and asked.

The Zhang family's ghosts are still lingering, and if she goes there, she will definitely meet members of the Zhang family. Asking Yun Chen to go is just the right thing to do as a shield.

After all, with Yun Chen around, Chen Wudao didn't dare to use his power to bully others.

Zhao Haiqiang frowned, without the slightest hesitation: "Impossible, he's just a country bumpkin, it would be embarrassing if he went to such a big event, but what if he offends some big shot and brings trouble to the Zhao family?"

Zhao Xiruo opened her mouth, but before she could say anything, she was interrupted by Zhao Haiqiang: "Don't say anything, if you must take him there, then don't go."

Zhao Xiruo was choked and speechless.

A grand occasion like a welcoming banquet is the best time to discuss cooperation...

Especially since the anti-aging cream is about to be launched on the market, as the president of Zhao Group, she cannot ignore such a good opportunity.

"Ruoruo, don't worry about me, I have my own way." Seeing Zhao Xiruo's embarrassed look, Yun Chen smiled and held her hand.

Zhao Xiruo glanced at Yun Chen and bit her teeth lightly, not realizing that Yun Chen was taking advantage of her.

"Then you can wait for me in the car outside."

Yun Chen touched the soft, boneless little hand, his heart fluttering, but his face remained calm as he nodded, "Okay."

What welcoming banquet... He is not interested at all. It is not as interesting as touching his wife's little hand.
