Peaceful Farm Life

Chapter 1969: Chapter 1970: I Wish That Were the Case

After pausing for a bit, An Jing sighed and said, ”It seems Qingyi is indeed a bit dull when it comes to emotions. Let’s not even talk about whether she likes Star; she doesn’t even know that Star likes her, even though Star’s feelings for her are so obvious.”

”Some people just take forever to get a clue when it comes to emotions.” Pausing, ”Like our Qinger.”

An Jing immediately laughed, nodding in agreement: ”Yes, yes, Qinger is really slow too.”

She truly felt the same way.

Glancing at the letter in Xiao Changyi’s hand, An Jing sighed again, ”So what should we do now, let Star and Lele mess around like this? If they actually get married, what then? I don’t want anyone in the family getting divorced or having multiple wives. Especially having multiple wives, I really detest that.”

Xiao Changyi said, ”Don’t worry, no one in our family will have multiple wives, and probably no one will get divorced either.”

”So you mean the marriage between Star and Lele won’t work out?”

”Star likes Qingyi, Lele likes Qinger, how can this marriage possibly work?” Pausing, ”They’re not messing around; they’re trying to provoke Qinger and make him realize his own feelings. Didn’t you notice Star even wrote Qinger a separate letter?”

An Jing thought about it and smiled: ”Is Star acting as Lele’s strategist, coming up with this plan to provoke Qinger?”

Xiao Changyi snorted: ”It’s probably not Star’s idea; it’s likely something Lele thought of herself.”

”Lele could come up with this idea?” An Jing doubted.

Xiao Changyi first sighed, then said: ”Lele takes after her dad.”

An Jing understood instantly and said urgently, ”You mean Lele is pretending?!”

Xiao Changyi said: ”At first, I really believed it. After all, she’s never been smart, always like that since she was little. But the last time she secretly went to the Imperial City alone to find Qinger, if that was truly her nature, something surely would’ve happened on the way, but she showed up in front of Qinger without a hitch. That’s when I realized she was pretending.”

”Oh, right.” An Jing suddenly realized. ”If she were really that simple and stupid, the road to the Imperial City is so long, and she’s never traveled alone before; if she truly had that kind of personality, something surely would’ve happened. Lele is trying to play dumb and outsmart everyone!”

”I certainly hope that’s the case.”

An Jing was immediately amused: ”Our son’s going to be outsmarted, and you’re hoping for it?”

”Lele truly likes Qinger. Besides, Qinger really needs someone who can keep him in check. He’s skilled at eating, drinking, and playing, causing us quite a headache. If Lele can manage him, it’ll certainly bring us peace of mind.”

”That’s true.” The next moment, An Jing became worried: ”However, husband, I feel even if Lele provokes Qinger into realizing his feelings, Gong Juechen and Ye Zi will have a hard time accepting Qinger as their son-in-law. I asked Ye Zi before, and she is very against Qinger always going to the brothel, and she particularly resents how Qinger bullies Lele. She told me she and Gong Juechen desire nothing more than to find someone who will treat Lele well, and they both believe if Lele marries Qinger, Lele will continue to be bullied by him.”

”That’s Qinger’s own fault; he can’t blame anyone else. Clearly, he likes her, yet he doesn’t realize it, and he even bullies her.” Xiao Changyi’s words were still sharp as ever. ”Since it’s his own doing, naturally, he has to put in the effort to resolve these issues himself.”
