"What about Lei Yuan?" Tang Yue asked. "Aunt didn't agree to the marriage. She's been avoiding him for a year, hitting him every time she saw him. Lei Yuan waited three years and still ended up marrying someone else," Lian Qingyang said through gritted teeth. "Lei Yuan is the main culprit; otherwise, my aunt and uncle would already have had children. What's it got to do with him?" Tang Yue gave him a deep look but didn't see it the way Lian Qingyang did. She thought that if it weren't for Lei Yuan, there might be a Zhang Yuan, Li Yuan, Liu Yuan... In any case, if Gu Chun had self-esteem issues, there would always be problems between him and Lian Tong. "Let's not talk about this anymore." Lian Qingyang changed the subject and asked, "Sister Xiao Yue, weren't Uncle Tang and Aunt Tang running a shop at home? How come they suddenly have the time to come to Jing City? And to stay for so long?" Lian Qingyang had wanted to ask this question for a long time, but it was not appropriate over the phone. Now that they had finally met, he naturally asked without any reservations. "I..." Tang Yue's lips moved slightly, paused for a moment, then said, "Next month, I'm going to register for marriage." Lian Qingyang stood up abruptly, incredulously looking at Tang Yue and asked, "Which day?" "August 3rd." Tang Yue touched her nose as she answered, ready to be scolded. "Sister Xiao Yue, don't you consider me your brother anymore?" "You're getting married and you didn't tell me?" "If I hadn't come to find you by chance, would you have not told me?" "And now, there are only five or six days left until August 3rd. Sister Xiao Yue, you..." Lian Qingyang spoke in a huff, his eyes rounded as he looked at Tang Yue, feeling fortunate in his heart—fortunate that he kept in contact with Tang Yue often. When he heard Uncle Tang had come, he thought about the food and came over. Otherwise, if he had come to Jing City after the summer vacation, would Sister Xiao Yue already be married? ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ novel※fire.net The thought made Lian Qingyang angry. Tang You'an was stunned by Lian Qingyang's sudden outburst. While he was eating an apple, he held a piece of it and forgot to bite. "Cough, Xiao Yue, have a proper talk with Qingyang," Wei Jiajia said as she carried Tang You'an away. Zhang Hualian wanted to come forward but was held back by Tang Zhengde, who said, "Hualian, let them solve their sibling matters on their own. Besides, regardless of whether we acknowledge the Lian Family or not, Qingyang does. Since he considers himself her brother, it's wrong for Xiao Yue not to tell him about such a significant event as her marriage." "Hualian, Xiao Yue still has the blood of the Lian Family. It's a good thing that the Lian Family values Xiao Yue," Tang Zhengde said seriously. "Si Yu now has the surname Meng and is part of the Meng Family. If they really bully Xiao Yue, we as her parents won't be able to protect her." "Qingyang, I really didn't mean to hide it from you." "I was planning to tell you over the phone earlier. Then you said you'd come to Jing City, so I decided to tell you here." "I truly wasn't planning to keep it a secret from you." "Qingyang, are you really angry with me?" "There are still several days until August 3rd; it's not too late to know now, right?" Tang Yue looked at Lian Qingyang apologetically, her tone soft like when she would coax Tang You'an. Lian Qingyang kept a straight face. Tang Yue apologized, "Qingyang, I'm sorry. I really intended to tell you before getting married. I never thought to hide it from you." Tang Yue couldn't wait to swear to heaven. Lian Qingyang glanced at her skeptically and asked, "Did you really not think about hiding it from me?" "Truer than true gold!" Tang Yue nodded emphatically, like pounding garlic. "Sister Xiao Yue, aren't you rushing into marriage too quickly? You're only twenty years old. Why the hurry to get married?" Lian Qingyang's usually stern face couldn't hold the facade any longer, and he said with an anxious expression, "Even Brother Jin, who was introduced to you the other time, isn't bad either. His family background is impressive, and he's personally competent too." "The prospective brother-in-law is indeed not bad, but, shouldn't you wait a bit longer?" "Besides, you're still a freshman. Even after the summer break, you'll only be a sophomore. How can you just get married?" The situation had reversed. Just before, Tang Yue was doing all the talking, with Lian Qingyang staying silent. Now it was Lian Qingyang who couldn't stop talking, leaving Tang Yue stunned and speechless. Tang Yue cleared her throat and said, "Qingyang, Si Yu is very good, we both recognize each other as the right one, so why can't we get married?" "As for Jin Yu that you mentioned, I think he's a great older brother." Tang Yue spoke earnestly, having no interest in Jin Yu, even if he were a domineering CEO in the future. To Tang Yue, he was just a stranger, unrelated to her. "Sister Xiao Yue, I think it's a bit too rushed." Lian Qingyang sighed, knowing that he couldn't change her mind, he asked, "Sister Xiao Yue, what about dad? Aunt Lian? Aren't you going to tell them?" What about Grandfather? If Grandfather found out that Tang Yue was getting married without planning to tell the Lian Family, would he be so angry that he'd jump up and down? Lian Qingyang couldn't help but recall how Grandfather had wanted to use Tang Yue to threaten him into becoming the heir, but Grandfather didn't know that Sister Xiao Yue couldn't care less about the Lian Family. Besides, being the heir is such exhausting work. Just looking at Lian He being so busy that his feet never touched the ground was enough evidence. Most importantly, one had to deal with all kinds of people. How tiring that would be. Lian Qingyang didn't fancy such a life. Nowadays, his father Lian He was doing quite well, so he wasn't interested in seeking trouble. It was also quite good to run his gaming company. Just like Sister Xiao Yue had said, making games in the future that everyone in All Huaxia would enjoy playing—that would be such a fulfilling achievement. "Sister Xiao Yue, never mind the Lian Family, but dad and Aunt Lian, you should at least tell…" them, right? He didn't finish speaking when he noticed from Tang Yue's expression that she was unwilling. "Qingyang, in the Lian Family, I only acknowledge you. I don't recognize the other people, well except for Aunt Lian, she's also good." Tang Yue paused and then said, "But if Aunt Lian knows, then the Lian Family will know, so..." Tang Yue lowered her eyes, ignoring the sorrow at the bottom of Lian Qingyang's eyes, and said, "So, Qingyang, you must not tell the Lian Family about my marriage, or else, don't blame me for disregarding our sibling bond." "But..." Lian Qingyang faltered for a long time before saying, "If my dad asks about you, how should I respond?" "Or what if my dad comes to Jing City? How do we hide it then?" Lian Qingyang asked. The air suddenly fell silent. Just when Lian Qingyang thought Tang Yue would not respond, Tang Yue spoke up, "If he comes to Jing City, then tell him." "But," Tang Yue's bright eyes looked at him and said, "you can't remind him to come to Jing City." "Agreed." Lian Qingyang readily consented. However, after returning to his residence, Lian Qingyang felt he had agreed too hastily.
