Chapter 162 Listen to Second Brother
Ye's mother smiled gently, "Xinghe was sick at home during high school. We were worried that she would miss her classes, so we hired Mofan as her tutor. They met at that time."
"As for whether she has a boyfriend..." Ye's mother looked at Ye Xinghe, with a hint of teasing in her eyes, "Now that the child is older, she doesn't tell us everything like she did when she was little. You'll have to ask her yourself whether she has one or not."
Ye Xingchen was naturally displeased when he heard that his sister was a good match for Chu Mofan. "If my sister wants to date in the future, she has to get past me first. No matter how much she likes someone, it won't matter if I don't approve of them."
Ye Xinghe was grateful to her second brother for saving the day and quickly said, "Yes! This matter must be decided by my second brother. It wasn't easy for him to give birth to me and raise me; he gave me my life. I must choose someone my second brother likes."
As soon as she finished speaking, Hua Qingmeng picked up a crab and put it on Ye Xingchen's plate.
"Xinghe, you're not saying that right." Su Nanqing patted Ye Xinghe's arm and then joked, "If your second brother likes women, he has to like women too."
“That’s not necessarily true.” Hua Qingmeng suddenly spoke, glancing lightly at Ye Xingchen beside her. “Judging from Xingchen’s handsome appearance, he’s definitely attractive to both men and women.”
Ye Xingchen raised his wine glass and clinked it against Hua Qingmeng's. "Thank you for acknowledging my good looks, brother."
"You're not bad either."
Ye Xinghe turned to look at the two of them, "What's going on with you two?!"
"You developed feelings while taking photos this afternoon?!"
Hua Qingmeng turned to face Ye Xingchen, her long, narrow phoenix eyes filled with deep affection, a hint of ambiguity on her lips, and slowly uttered two words, "Yes."
Ye Xingchen felt extremely uncomfortable under Hua Qingmeng's gaze. He raised a hand to block Hua Qingmeng's burning eyes, his expression slightly flustered. "Brotherly affection, brotherly affection."
Ye's parents watched the young people laughing and joking, finding it quite amusing.
Ye Xinghe thought the topic had ended there, but Su Nanqing brought it up again, "Auntie, are you starting to worry about Xinghe finding a boyfriend now?"
“I remember when I was younger than Xinghe is now, my mom started worrying about me and kept urging me to go on blind dates, afraid that I would be too old and have difficulty finding someone later.”
Mother Ye glanced at her daughter first, then said softly, "I'm not worried about her. When the time is right, things will naturally fall into place. Some things can't be forced."
Su Nanqing smiled sweetly, "Auntie, you are such an enlightened parent."
"So what are your requirements for a partner at Xinghe?"
Ye's mother smiled lovingly and said, "We agree with whatever kind of person she chooses. As long as she likes it, that's all that matters."
"However, if you know any outstanding boys who are suitable for Xinghe, it would be good to introduce them to her."
"That's for sure," Su Nanqing readily agreed. "However, it's still important to marry someone you know well, especially for families like ours."
"If you encounter the wrong person, it could be bad if you accidentally find someone with ulterior motives."
"Moreover, Xinghe is a simple-minded girl who has just entered society. I think she can start by looking among the people around her to see if there are any suitable opportunities to develop a relationship."
Ye Xinghe looked at Su Nanqing with a smile that concealed a knife, "Sister Nanqing, you really are my good sister. You care about my love life even more than my mother does."
Su Nanqing pretended to be angry, "Of course."
"Otherwise you'll blame me again, saying I don't like you and hate you."
Ye Xinghe rested her head on Su Nanqing's shoulder, "Then I'll wait for Sister Nanqing to introduce me to a boyfriend!"
"I have two requirements: you must be handsome! And you must be outstanding and make contributions to the country!"
"Make contributions to the country? That makes you a civil servant, right?" Su Nanqing deliberately steered the conversation toward Chu Mofan. "I think there's a boy around you who perfectly fits your criteria."
Chu Mofan sat up straighter, feeling smug.
Everything Su Nanqing said just now was in his favor. It seems that Su Nanqing admires him very much. Capturing Su Nanqing is equivalent to capturing half of the Hua family!
Chu Mofan was indulging in wild daydreams.
Ye Xinghe naturally knew who Su Nanqing was talking about, but since the other party hadn't specified, she didn't respond.
She blinked her big eyes and pretended to be clueless, saying, "It doesn't necessarily mean they're civil servants."
"There are many people who have made contributions to the country. For example, scientists, entrepreneurs, astronauts, firefighters... and many more."
"And who are the men around me who fit the criteria?"
Suddenly, she grabbed Hua Qingmeng's arm. "You mean Brother Qingmeng?"
Su Nanqing's gaze froze, and her expression instantly changed from sunny to gloomy.
Yes! She forgot that Hua Qingmeng was also single!
Moreover, the contributions that Hua made to the country's economic development were extremely significant.
Looking at Su Nanqing's complicated expression, Ye Xinghe said with a grin, "Brother Qingmeng is indeed outstanding and handsome, meeting my requirements."
"Now it depends on whether my second brother agrees or not."
"Then I'll have to see how he performs," Ye Xingchen casually replied, not taking Ye Xinghe's words seriously. In his mind at that moment, as long as it wasn't Chu Mofan, that was fine.
Su Nanqing was extremely annoyed. The more she tried to sabotage Ye Xinghe and Hua Qingmeng's relationship and create a rift between them, the closer they became.
This Ye Xinghe is really difficult to deal with! It seems I'll have to talk to Hua Qingmeng alone later.
A flash of resentment crossed Chu Mofan's eyes, his face turned extremely ugly, and his hand holding the chopsticks became unsteady.
Why are Ye Xinghe's feelings for me growing weaker?! Could it be that the potion has stopped working?!
Chu Mofan has been busy with his promotion lately, dining and giving gifts to his superiors, and has completely neglected to cultivate a closer relationship with Ye Xinghe. He thought that with the power of the Siamese amulet, there wouldn't be any problems with Ye Xinghe, but it seems that this thing isn't always effective, and things are starting to get out of control.
He had to meet with Jiang Yan tonight to find out what was going on.
After several rounds of drinks and dishes, Mr. Ye suggested that everyone go to the backyard to drink tea, admire the moon, and eat mooncakes.
Everyone moved to the courtyard.
It was already six o'clock in the evening. A gentle breeze was blowing, the sky was a deep, inky blue, and a bright moon quietly climbed above the treetops.
The servants had already set out the tea table and chairs, and were placing plates of mooncakes and fruit on it.
Everyone sat around the table, looking up and quietly admiring the moon.
Su Nanqing glanced at the items on the table but didn't find the mooncakes she had brought.
She stopped a maid and asked, "Why didn't you bring the mooncakes in the red satin box?"
