Chapter 149 - 149 149 The person I chose is naturally good

Chapter 149: Chapter 149: The person I chose is naturally good Chapter 149: Chapter 149: The person I chose is naturally good “Young Master Yan, I am entrusting our Ying’er to you!” Zhu Zhizhou raised his glass to young Master Yan with a beaming smile.

Young Master Yan clinked glasses with him, tightening his grip on Zhu Qianying’s hand. He glanced at her before raising his eyes to Zhu Zhizhou.

“Rest assured, Mr. Zhu. Ying’er is my wife. I will cherish her and I vow to never let her suffer any grievances in the future!”

The words were put across tactfully, but wouldn’t anyone from the Zhu family understand the sentiment behind them?

But understanding and acting upon it are two different things.

Zhu Haokang, the second son, raised his glass to Zhu Qianying. “Ying’er, a toast to you from your second brother!”

Zhu Qianying made no protest, clinked glasses with him, and then prepared to drink her juice.

“Ying’er, that’s not right. Today is your big day with Young Master Yan. You should be drinking wine, not juice!”

However, Zhu Qianying brazenly held up the glass of juice, not facing any difficulties while toasting with the elders from the Yan and Tong families. Zhu Haokang was the first to insist on a switch to wine.

Before Zhu Qianying could utter a word, Young Master Yan lifted his hand to block and casually pushed away the wine glass Zhu Haokang passed to her.

“Ying’er’s health isn’t the best; she can’t drink. Qin Xiu, bring a case of wine over. You can drink leisurely with the Second Young Master Zhu!”

Everyone in L City was aware of Qin Xiu’s immunity to drunkenness, thus, Zhu Haokang, who provoked first, turned pale on the spot.

With Young Master Yan swiftly turning the tables, the Zhu family members immediately quieted down.

The surrounding guests, who didn’t hear the entire conversation between Young Master Yan and Zhu Haokang, could guess from the scene of Yan’s omnipotent special assistant pouring glass after glass for the Second Young Master Zhu that he had offended Young Master Yan.

Therefore, during the rest of the toasting, nobody dared to provoke Young Master Yan. The place was crowded with guests, but Young Master Yan, the groom, did not drink much.

Once the guests were all gone, the newlyweds were finally sent into their new house.

The cautionary tale of Zhu Haokang, knocked out at the wine table by Qin Xiu, meant that nobody dared to suggest toying with the couple in the bridal chamber. They quietly dispersed after sending off the couple.

“Ying’er, help me take a bath…”

The Young Master Yan, despite being newlywed, was still true to his frustrating nature as he slumped on the sofa, speaking to the bride at the other end who was removing her veil.

Zhu Qianying glanced sideways at him, “You’re not drunk…”

However, Young Master Yan squinted his eyes and said, “I am drunk…”

Zhu Qianying might not know about his alcohol tolerance, but she had been with him throughout. She was the one who knew best how much he had drunk.

“Young Master Yan, I’m not in good shape either!” Zhu Qianying didn’t directly reject him but used his made-up excuse to fend him off.

As soon as she spoke, Young Master Yan, who had been half-slumped, sat up abruptly, leaning towards her over the back of the sofa.

“Really unwell?” His tone carried a hint of anxiety and hope.

Zhu Qianying covered his face with the veil she just removed and giggled.

Young Master Yan removed the veil and sat cross-legged next to her, patiently waiting for her answer.

Zhu Qianying took her time, and then tilted her head to look at Young Master Yan. “Young Master Yan, I have a question for you!”

Young Master Yan blinked, “Go on!”

Zhu Qianying mirrored his pose and sat cross-legged. “Why did you say such things to my grandfather today? Is it right to misguide them?”

Even now, thinking back, Zhu Qianying felt that the tender and considerate Young Master Yan was too natural. Had she not been involved, she would never doubt the authenticity of his words.

Just like his speech at the wedding and his gentle behavior towards her afterward, all of which made their marriage seem like a mutually beneficial deal.

“Bullshit! I chose you myself; wouldn’t it seem inappropriate if I didn’t treat you well? Besides, don’t you know how many people are waiting to ridicule us tonight?”

Indeed, all his tenderness and considerate behavior shown today was merely to save face!

According to his logic, his indifference and apathy towards her in private were because he had chosen her; he could neglect her as he pleased.

Of course, she wouldn’t convey the inferences she drew based on his words.

Even if she were to say something, she wouldn’t pick tonight to do it.

No matter the reason behind their marriage, tonight was their bridal night.

Although she didn’t expect any romantic scenes, at least they shouldn’t quarrel on their first night of marriage!

“Yeah, that’s right! At the very least, my beloved father and aunts and uncles are utterly disappointed tonight!”

Thinking of this, Zhu Qianying couldn’t help but flash a smile.

“Speaking of which, did you always put up with these people from the Zhu family?” Young Master Yan looked a little upset.

The thought of her once being bullied and humiliated by those treacherous Zhu family members made him uncomfortable.

Zhu Qianying raised an eyebrow, “Yeah, what else was I supposed to do? Was I supposed to confront them?”

She previously didn’t want to bring up her past in the Zhu family with Young Master Yan.

But when he asked now, she surprisingly didn’t resist as she used to and casually voiced her thoughts.

It felt just like chatting with Xing Bailun and others — casual and comfortable.

After speaking her mind nonchalantly, she got up barefoot, retrieved two cans of fruit tea from the fridge, handed one to him, and guzzled down most of her own can.

Young Master Yan watched her for a while before stating rather indignantly, “They’re perverts!”

Zhu Qianying was taken aback; she never thought Young Master Yan would have such sympathy and sense of justice.

“Why do you say that?”

Since she had never considered this, she was really interested in Young Master Yan’s response.

She wanted to see just how many faces this man had that she didn’t know about.

Although she had never seen through him or understood him.

“Isn’t it perverted? Zhu Zhizhou is your father, yet he ignores his daughter. Isn’t that perverted? Zhu Junzhao and his siblings, although not from the same mother, are your blood relatives. Isn’t it perverted how they treat you and Xiao Yu?”

Both the Yan and Tong families, although large and representative of old money, share a trait; they’re very good to their family members. Be it fathers and sons or siblings – there’s abundant love.

Although they all have quirky personalities, they care for and love each other.

Situations like in the Zhu family, where blood siblings fight and even hurt each other, have never occurred in the Yan family.

This is why Young Master Yan is so dissatisfied with and hostile towards the Zhu family!
