The Eldest Daughter of a Rural Family-Chapter 617 Visiting to Propose Marriage (4)_1

Mo Heng looked at Pei Qin.

Pei Qin rolled her eyes at him, coaxed her daughter to eat a couple of spoonfuls of rice porridge, but seeing her throw a fuss and refusing to drink, wanting to suckle instead, she picked her up and returned to the room to nurse.

Mo Heng followed into the room to watch.

"Get out!" Pei Qin glared at him.

Mo Heng obediently turned and left, regretting entering the room the instant he did. He glanced down at his protruding clothes and went to douse himself with cold water again.

Breakfast was a bit awkward, Pei Wendong, Chang Yonglin, and Xiao Yong, the three Little Radishes, didn’t dare to ask too much. After eating, they obediently went off to school.

Pei Qin handed Jiujiu over to the wet nurse and joined Mo Heng and Pei Qian in the workshop to continue making preserved eggs.

The next day, Yang Boyan sent over more gifts.

Pei Qian paid no attention to them.

The following day, more gifts arrived.

Pei Qian’s heart grew calmer with each passing day.

After several days of sending gifts without any response, Yang Boyan grew restless from not seeing any sign of her. He started to wonder, did Pei Qin mean to double down on the connection with the Fang family and have Pei Qian married to Fang Liuming!?

Pei Qin had been against the marriage between close relatives in their two families, which is why she hadn’t stopped him from approaching Pei Qian.

Yang Boyan waited outside the door and finally saw Pei Qian returning home early. He rushed up to block her way, "What’s the matter? Are you still angry? I’ve shown my apologies these past few days, won’t you forgive me!?"

Pei Qian looked up at him.

He was dressed in a moon-white embroidered willow-patterned Hangzhou silk robe, which accentuated his handsome and elegant demeanor. Even his smile appeared more charming.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Yang Boyan asked with a smile, helplessly bowing, "Alright! I apologize to you! Can you stop being angry now, please?"

Pei Qian pursed her lips and walked past him. fɾēewebnσveℓ.com

Seeing her leave again, Yang Boyan reached out, wanting to grab her and inadvertently irritated her further. He could only watch as she went back home. Brow furrowed, he thought for a while and headed back to Landlord Zhao’s place. "A woman’s heart is as hard to fathom as the sea’s needle. Indeed, it is difficult to guess!"

Landlord Zhao laughed heartily upon hearing this, "Boyan! Do you need your uncle to give you some advice?"

At this, Yang Boyan’s eyes lit up, "Uncle! You often stay in town, what do you think about Pei Qian and her siblings? No one paid any attention to me after the lanterns were sent."

Landlord Zhao smiled, "It’s not that I want to criticize you, but if you’re truly serious about courting, why don’t you make a formal proposal?"

Yang Boyan’s expression stiffened momentarily, then he nodded, "I understand!"

"Pei Qin might seem easy to talk to on the surface, but you have to win her heart. They grew up without parents, and she alone raised her brothers and sisters. It’s not as simple as it seems on the outside!" Landlord Zhao reminded him.

Yang Boyan thought it over the entire night, and the next day, he specifically went to the county town to prepare gifts and brought them personally to see Pei Qin and Mo Heng.

Pei Qin had just received the information Mo Heng had found on Yang Boyan. Hearing that he brought gifts for a visit, her gaze swept over the three characters "Bai Jinyan," tucked the letter away, and let him in.

Yang Boyan changed into a different set of clothes and formally entered. Knowing that Pei Qin was a straightforward and decisive person, he got straight to the point and professed his liking for Pei Qian, "...and she should belong to me as well. I hope you can make this happen." As he spoke, he took out a piece of mutton jade pendant, "This is a family heirloom."

Pei Qin looked at him and chuckled, "I don’t agree."

"Why not?" Yang Boyan pressed, "Are you truly planning to add a marriage upon another and have Pei Qian marry Fang Liuming!?"

"When compared, Fang Liuming does indeed seem a bit more reliable! Indeed, without a comparison, there’s no knowing who’s better!" Pei Qin sighed.

Yang Boyan’s face stiffened, "Even if I have not achieved fame and success yet, I’m not that unreliable, am I!?" Another one calling him unreliable; what about him was unreliable?

"What about Bai Jinyan?" Pei Qin suddenly asked.

At the mention of these three words, Yang Boyan’s complexion changed dramatically, "...She’s my cousin."

"Yeah! And she’s also your fiancée!" Pei Qin heh-hehed.
