CHAPTER 293: CHAPTER 293: ALREADY HAS A GIRL HE LIKES

Shen Qingju had just pulled Li Wei out the door, when over there, Duan Yunfei and his group had already come downstairs.

"Hello, Uncle!" The group greeted Shen Shan.

"Hey~" Shen Shan stood up and smiled, "Hello, young gentlemen!"

He looked at them and said, "Are you here to listen to stories?"

"Yes!" Duan Yunfei nodded, and then quickly nodded in greeting to the others as well.

Shen Qingzhu pulled over the empty chairs nearby, "Please have a seat!"

Duan Yunfei nodded with a slight smile, "Thank you, Brother Qingzhu!"

Shen Qingzhu chuckled, "No need to be polite, Duan. If you’re Qinglan’s friend, you’re family to us!"

Family, huh?

Duan Yunfei’s lips curved into a pleasant smile.

Old Mrs. Shen laughed, "Look at these young gentlemen, each one more handsome than the last!"

Le Zhao laughed, "Thank you, Grandma, for the compliment!"

Dong Yao smiled at Duan Yunfei and his group but secretly tugged at the silent Shen Qinglan, seeming to hint that she should introduce everyone.

Shen Qinglan stood up, cleared her throat, and under Duan Yunfei’s half-smiling gaze, introduced the newcomers to the Shen family one by one.

Seeing them greet and address everyone, Shen Qinglan couldn’t help but feel emotional.

These folks were always the ones receiving greetings, yet now, they were bowing to the Shen family’s elders. It was a rare sight indeed.

"I heard from Qinglan that back when we took over the Guest House, it was Young Master Duan who helped." Dong Yao looked at Duan Yunfei with a smile and said, "This aunt doesn’t know how to express her gratitude properly!"

"No need to be so polite, Auntie!" Duan Yunfei smiled, "Qinglan is my friend, it’s only right to help her!"

After Duan Yunfei spoke, he glanced at Shen Qinglan, his smile unchanged.

"May I ask how old Young Master Duan is this year?" Dong Yao asked with a smile.

Xuan Ying seemed to know what she was going to ask next and lowered his head to hide a laugh.

Duan Yunfei obediently replied, "In two months, I’ll be nineteen!"

"Oh!" Dong Yao asked again, "Have you been engaged?"

"Not yet engaged, but I do have a girl I’m fond of!"

After he said this, he deliberately glanced at Shen Qinglan behind Dong Yao.

With such an obvious hint, even a fool would know who the girl he was referring to was, right?

Shen Qinglan shot him a look, half-smiling and half-not.

Duan Yunfei seemed to hear her gritting her teeth, and he couldn’t help but lower his eyelids, concealing the amusement in his eyes.

With the relationship between his future in-laws and Madame Song getting closer, what if, one day, they suddenly decide to arrange a marriage? What would he do then?

So, while the Shen family was all present, it was best to declare his intentions first!

"So..." Dong Yao laughed, "Last time Qinglan visited Yongning Manor, did Madame Duan and Mr. Duan see her?"

"They did!" Duan Yunfei laughed, "My parents really like Qinglan!"

Yan Yijie and Le Zhao exchanged a glance, then knowingly lowered their heads and chuckled lightly.

Xuan Ying timely chimed in, "Our lady really likes Miss Shen. A while back, after we returned from the manor, she kept asking Miss Shen to bring Mrs. Shen for a visit when she had time!"

"Really?" Dong Yao’s eyes lit up.

"Really! Our lady even said that in a while, she would come down the mountain to visit the Shen Mansion!" Xuan Ying said, "If Mrs. Shen doesn’t believe it, she can ask Miss Shen!"

With so many Shen family members staring at her at once, Shen Qinglan felt a throbbing headache.

She stiffly nodded, "Yes, it’s true!"

Xuan Ying wasn’t lying. Before coming down the mountain, Luo Jing did say she would visit the Shen family in a while.
