At this moment, Qin Zifeng finally took a good look at Tianmiao, Dong Xiao, and Kong Hou, and then marveled in his heart. Who are these three? Their looks and aura are so outstanding. By rights, he should have heard of such figures, but as he racked his brain, there was no information whatsoever.
Tang Wanwan had no intention of telling Qin Zifeng that Tianmiao was from the Tian Family, because she knew Qin Zifeng never believed in those things. Saying it would just add unnecessary displeasure.
Kong Hou sized up Qin Zifeng, then turned to Tang Wanwan and said, "Tang Wanwan, you said he’s your fiancé? You plan to marry him?"
"If nothing unexpected happens, yes." Tang Wanwan smiled at Kong Hou and said.
"Well, an unexpected thing has happened; he’s not your husband." Kong Hou’s startling words echoed clearly in the living room with her youthful voice.
Tang Wanwan froze, Yan Bin froze, and Qin Zifeng stared in astonishment at Kong Hou.
Tianmiao calmly sipped tea, Dong Xiao was even calmer as he prepared an exquisite red bean pastry for Tianmiao. The two were completely unfazed by Kong Hou’s words. Obviously, they had foreseen this and were not surprised at all.
"Little Kong Hou, what did you just say?" Tang Wanwan came back to her senses, somewhat puzzled, but she understood that Kong Hou didn’t speak aimlessly.
"Did you do something to let Tang Wanwan down?" Yan Bin’s expression turned cold. Of course, Yan Bin knew Kong Hou and the others weren’t ordinary people; saying such things meant Qin Zifeng must have done something.
Qin Zifeng also snapped out of his shock and composed himself: "Tang Wanwan, I am indeed here because of this matter. I was going to discuss it with you privately."
"You bastard, is it true..." Yan Bin was furious and seemed ready to punch someone.
Tang Wanwan interjected sternly: "Yan Bin, don’t speak yet, let him talk."
"Tang Wanwan, you know that the marriage between us is what both grandpas hoped for. We don’t actually love each other. It’s just that we’re well-matched, in every respect," Qin Zifeng decided to clarify everything in front of everyone.
"Yes, I know." Tang Wanwan responded calmly.
"Originally, I thought my life would continue in a step-by-step manner, calm and uneventful. But then, I met someone different. I want to change, to fight for something. I don’t know if you can forgive my actions." Qin Zifeng’s tone was full of apology and guilt.
"You met a girl you like?" Tang Wanwan instantly understood.
Yan Bin was equally dumbfounded; Qin Zifeng, this old bachelor, always so composed like a sixty or seventy-year-old man, actually had his spring awakening?? Unbelievable.
"Yes, she is very different to me. So, Tang Wanwan, I’m sorry, truly sorry." Qin Zifeng stood up and bowed deeply to Tang Wanwan, "Within my capabilities, whatever you want me to do, I will agree."
The atmosphere in the living room instantly solidified. Qin Zifeng remained bent in his bow, not getting up.
The next moment, Qin Zifeng’s back was suddenly slapped hard.
"Stand up straight!" Tang Wanwan’s voice was full of anger.
Qin Zifeng was stunned, stood firm, and looked at a furious Tang Wanwan.
"Qin Zifeng! After knowing me for so many years, is this how you see me? You really underestimate Tang Wanwan." Tang Wanwan pointed at Qin Zifeng with her hands on her hips, scolding, "Are you brainless or what? You’ve found true love, I’d only be envious and give my blessings. What compensation do I need from you? Who wants your stupid compensation? We would only be happy for you, okay? Aged bachelor like you, actually blossomed into romance, what a rare event!"
Qin Zifeng looked at Tang Wanwan, who though scolding him was brimming with a smile, and he froze; then he turned to look at Yan Bin, who was also smiling, genuinely happy for him.
