Reborn with a Space: Building a Fortune Amidst Famine

Chapter 1798: Chapter 1798: Laying It All Out

This is the biggest happy event for the Tan Family, even more joyous than someone advancing in cultivation.

Mu Tian came out as well. He had already heard the news just now, and he was really quite excited. ”I’m going to be a grand‑master now?”

Su Yuanyuan nodded with a smile. ”Yes, from now on you can wait for two little ones to call you Grand‑master.”

Mu Tian’s face was full of an excited grin. ”Just thinking about it makes me thrilled, haha.”

Zhu Huai’en’s expression also softened a lot.

Tian Yan was thinking to himself, he hadn’t expected that the old ancestor, already at such an age, could still have children?

Chen Rushi was the most envious. At this point he couldn’t be bothered about his young woman’s thoughts anymore. If it were up to her temperament, even if you gave her a thousand years to think it over, there still wouldn’t be a result.

”Tan Shaoting, Su Yuanyuan, shall we have a talk?”

Su Yuanyuan was stunned for a moment and then nodded. She didn’t like listening to the heart‑voices of people around her; back then she had already seriously paid attention to Chen Rushi, confirmed there was no problem, and stopped focusing on him.

Chen Xue Man understood what her father meant and got a bit anxious. She was terribly embarrassed. ”Dad!”

Chen Rushi just waved his hand.

The three of them went into their room together.

”Old Ancestor, please sit. What instructions do you have for us?”

Chen Rushi smiled. ”I’ve gotten impatient. I originally wanted to, mm, wait until Xiao Man sorted things out in her head, but she just can’t get past that hurdle in her heart.”

Tan Shaoting raised an eyebrow. ”Is there something difficult?”

”There’s nothing difficult. It’s just that I’ve taken a liking to Qi Yan and want him as my son‑in‑law, but Xiao Man can’t get past that hurdle in her heart. She feels that because she has memories of her previous life—Su Yuanyuan, you should know Xiao Man’s past—she was simply scared from having been deceived.

It’s not that she’s afraid there’s something wrong with Qi Yan. The main thing is that she doesn’t want to look for a partner.

If there were no Qi Yan, I’d just go along with her for now anyway. After all, she still has such a long life ahead of her.

But Qi Yan is such an outstanding one, I’m afraid someone else will snatch him first. I don’t have any of those ideas about how the girl’s side is supposed to act reserved.

What do you two think? Do you look down on Xiao Man?”

Su Yuanyuan shook her head. ”We don’t think that way, but the way we’ve raised our children since they were little is that their matters are for them to decide.

This matter still needs to be decided by Qi Yan. I still hope my son can have a partner he’s in love with, not get married just for the sake of getting married.”

Chen Rushi nodded. He could see it: this couple truly loved each other. Even though their bone age was still too young right now, the fact that they had managed to maintain their love for so long was rare.

And Qi Wen and the old ancestor looked very affectionate as well. It was normal for them to think this way.

Chen Rushi nodded. ”Of course it only works if Qi Yan is willing himself. You two discuss it.

You could say you know everything about Xiao Man. You’re the people most familiar with her.”

Su Yuanyuan nodded. That really was the case. She truly understood Chen Xue Man: a good young woman, and indeed quite excellent, she had just never imagined there’d be any sort of connection with her sons.

After seeing Chen Rushi out, the couple discussed the matter.

”Yuanyuan, do you think it could work?”

”I don’t know either. From my heart, I have no objections. Chen Xue Man is a good young woman, really quite outstanding, and we truly know her background inside out. You go talk to Qi Yan.”

”Yuanyuan, why don’t the two of us talk to Qi Yan together? I don’t know what to say.”

Su Yuanyuan shot Tan Shaoting a look. ”You send him a voice transmission.”

Qi Yan was in his room reading. His heart was also a bit unsettled right now. His little sister had a baby, and he was truly happy about having a little niece or nephew. He was especially fond of children; back then he’d loved watching Qi Hao and Qi Xuan.

He treated Xiao Rue like his own son too, and he was truly happy for his little sister.

Hearing his father’s voice transmission, he immediately got up and went over.

When he went in he saw his parents both sitting there, and looked at them in puzzlement.

”Qi Yan, do you have any thoughts about starting a family?” Su Yuanyuan decided to just ask directly.

Qi Yan paused for a moment, then shook his head. ”I haven’t thought about it.”

”Is it that you haven’t thought about starting a family, or you just haven’t met someone you like?”

Tan Shaoting thought to himself that given his son’s temperament, wanting him to take the initiative to like a woman would be rather difficult.

”Mom, I don’t know.”

”So you just haven’t thought about it? Qi Yan, I require all of you to start families. Our lifetime is too long. I don’t want you all to be lonely.”

Qi Yan nodded. If his mother required it, he would definitely fulfill it—but getting married isn’t a task you can just complete.

The couple saw their son nodding and then started frowning.

Tan Shaoting cleared his throat lightly. ”Qi Yan, what do you think of Chen Xue Man?”

Qi Yan looked at his father and mother in confusion. Though he didn’t talk much, he definitely wasn’t stupid. He knew Chen Rushi had just come in to talk to his parents about something.

In his mind, a hazy image of Chen Xue Man appeared. He really hadn’t paid attention to her before.

”Qi Yan, Chen Xue Man is the one we’re most familiar with. You know her past as well. Think it through for yourself.”

Qi Yan nodded. ”Dad, Mom, you decide.”

Su Yuanyuan sighed inwardly. Hoping for her son to suddenly turn passionate was impossible; he’d had this personality since he was little.

”Qi Yan, do you dislike Chen Xue Man?” As his mother, she still asked.

Qi Yan shook his head. ”No. I just never paid attention before.”

She’d known it would be like this. She thought for a moment, then decided to ask more directly. ”If we agree to it, can you accept it?”

Qi Yan didn’t even think about it; he nodded immediately.

Su Yuanyuan had a feeling that it wasn’t specifically about Chen Xue Man—if it were any woman, Qi Yan would react the same way.

There really was no helping it. ”Just now Chen Rushi came and said he’d taken a liking to you, but Chen Xue Man can’t get past that hurdle in her heart, since she has memories of her previous life.”

Qi Yan shook his head. He honestly didn’t feel that was anything significant.

”Qi Yan, since you have no objections, I’ll go talk to Chen Xue Man?”

”Sure. Mom, you decide.”

Su Yuanyuan’s mouth twitched. Wasn’t she the one getting married here?

Actually, it wasn’t a big deal. Judging from the Chen Family father and young woman, Chen Rushi clearly favored the idea of them being together—meaning the two of them could become husband and wife.

Su Yuanyuan suddenly thought: could it be that Chen Rushi got anxious just because Qi Wen is pregnant?

She herself was actually hoping for more cute children too. Now that they were lying low, having children wouldn’t be a problem; there’d be time for them to grow.

Thinking of this made her a bit excited. ”Go back to your room. I’ll go see Chen Xue Man.”

This time it was Tan Shaoting whose mouth twitched. Was his wife getting anxious now?

Chen Rushi went back to his room, knowing his young woman was waiting for him.

”Dad! If they don’t agree, how embarrassing will that be for you?”

”Face isn’t more important than happiness. If the Tan Family doesn’t agree, I’ll give up and think of other ways. You’re definitely going to start a family. I’m still waiting to hold a grandchild.”

Chen Xue Man was speechless. ”Dad, I think it’s just too awkward.”

”What kind of thinking is that? What’s awkward about it? You can only say you two are familiar enough and know each other inside out. If you’re together in the future, there won’t be anything bad. Neither of you will have any bad intentions. As for love, that can be cultivated slowly later.”
