Using power to force marriage

Upon hearing that he had someone he liked, the elderly couple asked him with expectant eyes who the girl was.

Before Jiang Qiyu could answer, Ruan Qian put down her chopsticks and bowl, interrupting him.

"Mom and Dad, I'm full."

She stood up from the table. "Mom and Dad, I'm quite tired lately. I want to go back to my room and rest for a while."

Ruan Qian cut off Jiang Qiyu's words, which he was about to say.

She didn't want to hear it.

He Shu said with concern, "You've really been working too hard lately. Now that you've eaten, go back to your room and rest. I've already had your room prepared."

Ruan Qian nodded, "You guys take your time eating, I'll go back to my room first."

When Ruan Fu noticed that her mood suddenly changed, she wanted to follow her and ask what was wrong, but Zhao Jingnian grabbed her.

"Let her have some peace and quiet."

Ruan Fu has a fiery temper, and Ruan Qian might not listen to her right now.

"Okay." She sat down obediently and continued eating.

Jiang Qiyu was abruptly interrupted, and he already understood Ruan Qian's attitude. If he rashly revealed his feelings now, he would probably anger her.

"Qi Yu, you just said you have someone you like. Who is it?"

The topic returned to Jiang Qiyu, who regained his composure and said, "No, I was just joking with you guys."

Ruan Fu was extremely anxious when she heard this. Her older brother and sister were really worrying. Was it really that hard to confess her feelings?

"Mom and Dad."

Ruan Fu began to subtly probe Ruan Zhengyang and He Shu's attitudes.

"I watched a TV series the other day. The male and female leads are siblings, and they like each other and want to be together."

Upon hearing this, Ruan Zhengyang and He Shu exclaimed in surprise, "What TV series is so melodramatic? How can siblings be together? This is incest!"

"Listen to me, they are not related by blood at all."

Ruan Zhengyang pondered for a moment, "Since they are not related by blood, they should be able to get married, but they are siblings, so it doesn't seem quite right."

Jiang Qiyu gave Ruan Fu a stern look, telling her to shut up and not to say anything more.

But she insisted on saying it.

"They're just siblings in name only, what's wrong with that?"

Ruan Fu then asked He Shu, "Mom, what do you think?"

"I think as long as two people truly like each other, nothing else matters."

Upon hearing this, Ruan Zhengyang began to agree with He Shu's point of view, "Your mother is right. All parents in the world hope that their children can be happy."

Upon hearing this, Ruan Fu perked up, "That's right! If two people truly like each other, why should they care about empty fame?"

Everything that needed to be said had been said, and Jiang Qiyu had also probed his parents' attitudes. The rest was up to fate.

If you have the ability, you can win Ruan Qian over, and the two of you can confess your feelings to each other and be happy together. Your family will bless you.

If this continues and makes her sister sad, she will really not acknowledge this brother anymore.

After the meal, Zhao Jingnian played two games of chess with Ruan Zhengyang.

Ruan Fu pulled Jiang Qiyu aside and gave him a lecture in a secluded spot.

She's young but incredibly shrewd; despite her young age, she's remarkably intelligent.

"I'll just ask you one question: do you like your sister or not?"

Jiang Qiyu did not deny it this time.

It was only after this ordeal that he realized how much he cared about Ruan Qian, wishing her safety, well-being, and happiness.

During his time with Cen Dai, he was still unable to convince himself to let go of this relationship that shouldn't have existed.

The further away we are, the more we care.

Seeing Ruan Qian injured and in danger, he felt a sharp pain in his heart.

Knowing that she went to a poor mountain area to provide free medical care in order to avoid his engagement party with Cen Dai, and that she had an accident because of it, a thousand kinds of guilt welled up in his heart and entwined him tightly like vines.

"Your sister is just being stubborn with you. Do I not need to teach you what to do? Besides, you've seen Mom and Dad's attitude. They are very open-minded parents who hope their children can find happiness."

Before his death, the old master of the Ruan family called Jiang Qiyu to his hospital room and admonished him, telling him to be mindful of his duties, recognize his identity, and not to have any delusions or greed.

He had also sworn an oath in front of the old man.

"I'm not good enough for Qianqian. I think she'll meet a better man than me."

Upon hearing this, Ruan Fu was furious. "You're utterly hopeless!"

"If your sister really wants to be with another man, even if he's the best man in the world, would you truly wish them well from the bottom of your heart?"

To be honest, no.

During high school and college, Ruan Qian was pursued by many male classmates, but Jiang Qiyu was very protective of her and couldn't stand seeing those male classmates bothering her.

He openly and secretly sabotaged many male classmates' confession ceremonies, and even confiscated many of her love letters under the guise of being her brother.

Jiang Qiyu is actually a rather selfish man, not very magnanimous. No matter how outstanding Ruan Qian's suitors are, he will not sincerely wish them well.

The two had been testing each other for so many years, it was time for a resolution.

-

On the way back to Xiyue Manor, Zhao Jingnian put his arm around her shoulder and pulled her into his arms.

"You must be exhausted these past few days?"

Indeed, she was already exhausted because of Ruan Qian's matter.

"Thankfully, my sister is safe and sound."

Zhao Jingnian wanted to take her out to relax for a while, and after coordinating the schedule, he wanted to make up for the honeymoon.

"Didn't you say you wanted to go surfing a while ago? How about I take you to the beach?"

Upon hearing this, Ruan Fu's eyes lit up. "Really? What about your work? It's not a holiday now."

"I'm the boss, what I say goes."

He's the boss; he can take time off whenever he wants.

Ruan Fu gave him a long, sullen look. "So your schedule is easy to coordinate? You didn't want to take me on a honeymoon when we first got married because you didn't love me then and didn't want to spend time and effort on me, right?"

When Zhao Jingnian saw her bringing up old grievances, he suddenly felt a little guilty and gave a lazy smile.

"Xiao Fu, why are you still holding a grudge?"

"Hmph! I remember it very clearly."

She poked his chest with her finger and pouted reproachfully, "You even said you needed an invisible partner and told me not to bother you unless it was absolutely necessary."

On their wedding night, he dumped 300 million yuan on her and even handed her Zhang Yuming's business card, his attitude was incredibly domineering.

Ruan Fu lowered her voice and imitated his tone, "Don't bother me if there's nothing wrong. If you need anything, contact my assistant."

"Zhao Jingnian, it's only been a short time, does your face still hurt?"

Hearing her teasing, the man pinched her cheek and kissed her lips.

"What should I do? I've fallen completely in love with you. You're my oxygen, and I need you for the rest of my life."

His air-type companion became his oxygen, something he could never live without.

The older man has finally figured it out and can even say sweet nothings in a cloying way.
