Hidden Marriage

Chapter 1681: He’s So Persistent

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Zhuang Liaoyuan did not hide his true intentions at all.

While he was dissatisfied with Lu Tingxiao, he could not do anything when Ning Xi was so in love with him. He was only a person who was slightly closer to Ning Xi, so it was not appropriate for him to interfere.

He could not stand it when he saw Xiao Xi struggle so much in the Lu family, but at the same time, he also wished for Xiao Xi to understand and leave this guy on her own accord. He would then find her someone better!

He was only helping this guy this time because it was a serious matter and he could not just leave it after he knew the stakes involved.

Lu Tingxiao, of course, knew what Zhuang Liaoyuan was thinking. He said slowly, ”Iʼm afraid youʼll be disappointed. I hope youʼll come and support us during my wedding with Xiao Xi, Chief Zhuang.”

He said it as if his matrimony with Ning Xi was set in stone in the end.

Zhuang Liaoyuan was frustrated and he left with a darkened expression.

Lu Jingli started being cheeky after Zhuang Liaoyuan left. ”Why would Chief Zhuang be so persistent? Your child with Xiao Xi Xi is already so old. He canʼt do anything at all! Dirt will come out together if he tried to forcefully take the carrot out! Uhh, the analogy seems odd, but thatʼs just how it is…”

…

The following night, Yan Ruyi was visiting the Guans as asked by Lu Chongshan.

”Ziyao... Ziyao! Your Aunty Lu is here. Come out and stop hiding in your room! This girl has been in her room all day long recently. I wonder what sheʼs doing…” Mother Guan was chatting to Yan Ruyi as they walked towards Guan Ziyaoʼs room.

”Aunty Lu!” Guan Ziyao quickly stood up and closed the book she was reading when she heard her motherʼs voice.

However, Yan Ruyi saw the title. It was a book about child psychology. She glanced around Guan Ziyaoʼs room and realized that there were a lot of books about child education.

Yan Ruyi picked up one of them up. ”Ziyao, these books are...”

Guan Ziyao seemed a little embarrassed. ”Aunty Lu, itʼs nothing. Didnʼt I mention I was studying courses on this topic before? Iʼm just reading up a little…”

”A little? How many days have you stayed in your room already? I was just wondering what you were up to. It turns out that youʼre reading these books?” Mother Guan sounded angry.

Guilt spread across Guan Ziyaoʼs face. ”Because of my inability, I caused such a big misunderstanding the last time. Iʼm really sorry…”

Yan Ruyi was stunned and seemed a little shaken by the apology. ”Silly child, itʼs been such a long time and youʼre still not over it. Iʼve already told you that itʼs not your fault. Youʼre still unclear about Little Treasureʼs condition!”

Yan Ruyi suddenly grabbed Guan Ziyaoʼs hands. ”Itʼs no use if you just read the books. You need more time with him together. As you both spend time together, youʼll get to know him more, wonʼt you?ʼ

Guan Ziyao and Mother Guan looked at each other, obviously understanding what Yan Ruyi meant.

Yan Ruyi sighed, ”Our Lu family only has one precious grandchild and in addition to the fact that he has no mother since he was born, weʼre more concerned about him and we hope that Ziyao can excuse us!”

”Please donʼt say that, Aunty Lu. I quite like Little Treasure myself! Heʼs a really sweet child!” Guan Ziyao said in a sincere tone.

Yan Ruyi seemed satisfied. ”Itʼs really kind of you to still stay by Tingxiaoʼs side... You know, a lot of things have been happening recently, but Iʼm sure Tingxiao will be able to resolve it. Itʼs just a matter of time!”
