Chapter 127: 0125, someone from the Yin family has come.
Being the center of attention was great but went against Ye Qiu’s intention to keep a low profile.
He didn’t go to class but headed straight to the martial arts club’s training room, where the club members crowded around him, expressing their admiration for Ye Qiu.
Lan Bing wasn’t in the club, so Ye Qiu gave pointers to the members for an hour before leaving.
At the same time, in the Shangguan family home, two important guests arrived today.
With the old master of the Shangguan family ill, the responsibility of receiving the distinguished guests fell on the legitimate daughter, Shangguan Shu.
"How is the old master’s health?" the visitor asked without even sitting down.
"My father has just fallen asleep, thank you for your concern, Elder Brother Yin," Shangguan Shu said, then instructed the servants to serve a cup of fine tea.
The Elder Brother Yin mentioned by Shangguan Shu was from one of the renowned noble families of Huaxia, the Yin family. Like Shangguan Shu, this middle-aged man from the Yin family had now inherited the family’s wealth and was the most powerful person in the Yin family, as well as Yin Shaoxiong’s father.
Yin Shaoxiong hadn’t spoken and stood quietly beside his father.
"I’ve come today to finalize the marriage between my son and Shangguan Hong. Since the two children are fond of each other, I think it’s better to have the wedding sooner rather than later," said Yin Shaoxiong’s father, Yin Ying.
Shangguan Shu had long wanted a marriage alliance between the two families to maintain the current status of the Shangguan family. With the arrival of the man at the helm of the Yin family, she had guessed his intention. Her face was full of smiles, but she deliberately kept a calm tone, "You make a valid point, Brother. Having the children married soon would indeed put our minds at ease as elders."
"Good, since there’s no problem on your side, let’s set this marriage. I’ve already chosen the date, the first of next month," declared Yin Ying without seeking any opinions, directly announcing the date.
The faces of several members of the Shangguan family darkened upon hearing this, clearly indicating that the Yin family wasn’t showing much respect for them. However, given the weakened position of the Shangguan family, they could hardly take offense.
Shangguan Shu laughed twice as a sign of agreement.
Unaware at the Goddess Villa, Shangguan Hong didn’t know that her aunt Shangguan Shu had confirmed her lifelong affair. Meanwhile, Yin Shaoxiong’s face showed excitement. Thinking about possessing Shangguan Hong’s beauty, he couldn’t help but tremble with anticipation.
After leaving the school, Ye Qiu went to the city hospital to perform acupuncture on Chu Yao’s mother.
Seeing Ye Qiu, Chu Yao’s face flushed with color.
In the past two days, her mother kept telling her that if she liked Ye Qiu, she should boldly pursue him, as she had noticed her daughter’s affection and supported her in pursuing her happiness.
Thinking of Ye Qiu, Chu Yao felt shy and the scene of their kiss, initiated by her, involuntarily came to mind.
Why had she been so bold then? The thought alone made Chu Yao extremely flustered.
Already unsure how to face Ye Qiu again, his sudden appearance before her caused Chu Yao’s heart rate to surge, turning her small face into a red apple.
Ye Qiu, looking at Chu Yao’s blushing cheeks, subconsciously remembered the scene from that day, his first time being kissed by a girl.
"You... you’re here..." Chu Yao stuttered.
"Hmm. I came to see Auntie," Ye Qiu nodded, considering himself thick-skinned, but even he felt a twinge of embarrassment when he saw Chu Yao’s clear eyes.
Seeing the two stand face to face in silence, Chu Yao’s mother could hardly stifle a laugh, so she said, "Ye Qiu, don’t just stand there. Sit here and talk to Auntie."
With Chu Yao’s mother breaking the ice, Ye Qiu finally sat down by the bed. He thought that Chu Yao’s mother was just making polite conversation, but as they talked, he sensed something was off.
"Ye Qiu, do you have any other family members?"
"Do you have a girlfriend now?"
"What do you think of our Chu Yao?"
"She has always been very decisive since she was little, and very filial. Over these years, she has followed me through a lot of hardships..."
Ye Qiu understood the meaning behind Chu Yao’s mother’s words—she was trying to set him up with Chu Yao, hoping the two could be together.
Ye Qiu felt a bit overwhelmed, and he hurriedly changed the subject, taking out silver needles to perform Hua Tuo’s thirty-six acupuncture techniques on Chu Yao’s mother.
After Chu Yao’s mother had fallen into a deep sleep again, only Ye Qiu and Chu Yao were left, facing each other.
Chu Yao tucked her mother in with the blanket, looked at Ye Qiu, and mustered the courage to say, "Let’s go for a walk outside."
The two walked in silence through the garden downstairs at the hospital.
The garden was full of blooming roses and lilies, their vibrant colors filling the air with a fragrant aroma.
But neither of them was focused on the beautiful scenery.
"Ye Qiu." Chu Yao turned and said to Ye Qiu.
Her beautiful, clear eyes landed on Ye Qiu, shining like the bright moon in the night sky, sparkling with purity and "Spiritual Energy".
"Ye Qiu, I like you." Chu Yao had gathered all her courage to confess the deepest feelings hidden in her heart.
"Do you like me?"
Ye Qiu was startled. He had been confessed to. The girl in front of him, dressed in a white dress, with a doll-like face, had just uttered the words ’I like you, Ye Qiu’.
"Okay, okay, don’t tell me your answer now, just walk here with me, okay?" Chu Yao, seeing the moment Ye Qiu was lost in thought, quickly stopped him from responding to her confession because she was afraid of being rejected by him.
In Chu Yao’s eyes, Ye Qiu was an outstanding person. He was always willing to help others, not only when he helped her get rid of a pervert on the bus back then, but also now, in treating her mother’s illness, he had proven to be a good man.
The student association’s exchange meeting had also been turned around due to Ye Qiu’s last-minute appearance, making it a win for the school.
Every time she faced Ye Qiu, Chu Yao’s heart was never fully at peace. She admitted to herself that she liked Ye Qiu, which is why, with her mother’s encouragement, she chose to take the initiative to confess.
However, Chu Yao, who seemed strong, was afraid of rejection by Ye Qiu. She feared hearing an answer she didn’t want to hear, that would shatter her illusions.
Chu Yao took the initiative to hold Ye Qiu’s hand. Her hand was soft and a bit cold. Ye Qiu looked at the girl who turned back to smile at him, pulling him forward like a sunflower, bright and splendid, and for a moment, he was somewhat dazed.
After Ye Qiu left the hospital, Chu Yao’s face kept flashing through his mind, especially the scene of being confessed to. Ye Qiu realized that he didn’t know what to do, something that was a first for him.
Did he not like Chu Yao? It seemed not the case—he did enjoy looking into her lively eyes.
But she was not the only one in his mind...
The more he thought, the more Ye Qiu’s head hurt, and in the end, he decided to stop agonizing over it and let things take their course!
When Ye Qiu returned to Goddess Villa and pushed open the door, he suddenly noticed that Shangguan Hong, who was sitting on the sofa, seemed a bit off.
"What’s wrong?"
After Ye Qiu spoke, Shangguan Hong lifted her reddened eyes.
"I’m getting married!" said Shangguan Hong, enunciating each word.
