CHAPTER 764: 764 UNLOCKED

Zeng Hongling leaned on the table, "Yuanyuan, honestly, I really don’t know, I’m confused, I’m not as carefree as I thought."

"Hongling, let me ask you, do you not like Daoist Zhan anymore?"

"I do like him, don’t you think Daoist Zhan is very charming?"

Su Yuanyuan shook her head. She really didn’t feel it, but perhaps Daoist Zhan had a very clean aura from being away from the world for so long.

"If you like Daoist Zhan, why not marry him?"

"Marry him? How could that be possible? I never thought about it, don’t misunderstand me, my feeling for Daoist Zhan is just admiration, like appreciating something beautiful."

"I see. What about Yang Liulang? You seem to be considering your future together. Doesn’t that mean something?"

"That’s because my grandfather values him. He said we’re childhood sweethearts. The relationship between our families is good, and my grandfather feels there are too few people in the Zeng family, so he wants me to find a man from a big family."

Su Yuanyuan didn’t know how to advise Zeng Hongling, as she herself had never been in a relationship, so how could she give advice?

So she shrugged her shoulders helplessly. There was nothing she could do.

"Yuanyuan, I’m saying, if, if I do marry Yang Liulang, can I still be with you?"

Su Yuanyuan was stunned, not understanding why this girl had such an idea. Why follow her?

"Hongling, after you get married, you still want to follow me? You can see I’m almost just playing around, what could come from following me?"

"Yuanyuan, I still want to collect old items; that gives me a sense of accomplishment."

Su Yuanyuan looked at this woman helplessly, "Isn’t the Yang Family perfect for you? If you two really get together, wouldn’t it be better to work together as a couple?"

"But I want to go out for a few more years. I figured it out yesterday; I can’t leave my elderly grandfather and father to my brother alone. At the time, Yixin mentioned giving him five years, so I might as well come back in five years.

I’ve been with you for over two years now. Less than three years left, and being with you truly makes me very happy.

Yixin and I originally planned to stay this time, but both my grandfather and father suggested we go out for a few more years. We also thought since their health is still good, this is an opportunity. So I still want to stay with you for three more years."

"Hongling, after you get married, it’s not just your own business anymore, or I should say it’s not a Zeng Family matter alone.

But Yang Liulang came to see me today wanting to follow me too. What he said was very mystical, and honestly, I don’t believe it.

I’m just puzzled; what use is following me for you guys? Shouldn’t you be managing your own family?"

"Yuanyuan, I’ve told you before, being with you is very comfortable for me, I genuinely feel like a weight has been lifted off me.

As for why Yang Liulang feels this way, I don’t know.

I just told Yang Liulang that if we marry, it’d be after I return in three years.

But he said he wants to stay behind you, also wants to see the outside world. Said if both of us agree, we can marry first.

I’m very confused now, I’m afraid Yang Liulang’s agreeing to marry me is because he wants to get close to you."

Su Yuanyuan rolled her eyes at Zeng Hongling, "A mature man wouldn’t get married for that reason."

"Why not?"

"Alright. Think it over yourself; I can’t help you either."

"Are you disgusted with me? But even if you despise me, I’ll still follow you; even if you abandon me, I will come find you."

Su Yuanyuan waved her hand dismissively, and Zeng Hongling thought this way because she was truthful with herself, which is why their relationship was so good.

Zeng Hongling came out of the study, hesitated in the courtyard for a while, but still went into her father’s room.

"What’s wrong, Hongling? I’ve told you, as long as you’re unwilling, we will absolutely not force you."

"Dad, do you think Yang Liulang is a good match?"

"If you ask me, I think he’s alright, but he definitely doesn’t deserve my daughter."

Zeng Hongling laughed out loud at her father’s boastful words. In her grandfather’s and father’s eyes, she was the best. That’s just how it is. She couldn’t burden them too much; the two elders had already given her and her brother so much.

Now they were old, and she and her brother had grown up. It was time to give back to the two elders.

"Dad, just wait for news from Yang Liulang, if both of us agree, we’ll settle it. But as for marriage, I still want to wait until after three years."

As for Yang Liulang, after arriving home, he went directly back to his study. Thinking about what had just happened, he couldn’t believe the Zeng Family had such a thought?

Zeng Hongling now had better luck than most people. Once the curse on her was lifted, it was all good luck.

Actually, he didn’t care much about these things; he was just curious about what this girl had gone through.

And marrying into the Zeng Family, wouldn’t that make Father happy?

As for his feelings towards that girl, definitely no romantic feelings for now. But it’s definitely not that he disliked her.

Thinking about what it would be like to start a family with her, it wasn’t something he couldn’t accept.

After clearing his thoughts, Yang Liulang left his study to find his father.

Actually, Yang Jiahui already knew that Xiao Liu was called back by the Zeng Family again. He was quite curious why Xiao Liu would take the initiative to go to the Zeng Family. Even if Xiao Jiu knew something, he wouldn’t tell him.

"Back?" Watching his son come in, Yang Jiahui put down the book in his hand and asked.

"Yeah, been back for a while now. Dad, I’m thinking of marrying the girl from the Zeng Family."

Yang Jiahui didn’t expect it to be this matter? "I remember that little girl stopped visiting our house after seeing you once when she was small? Why would she want to marry you now?"

He had urged his son to marry before, but this child was different from his other brothers, so he stopped mentioning it to him.

"Yes, I asked her to think it over too. Also, Xiao Jiu should have told you that Mr. Zeng invited you over for dinner tomorrow."

"That boy runs faster than a rabbit at the sight of me, he didn’t tell me. What’s going on?"

"It’s that the siblings brought back some food from the north. We’ll be going over to eat at the Zeng’s today, and we’re supposed to bring some back for you to try. Xiao Jiu said he doesn’t know how to make it."
