36: Can’t Eat Anymore

Can’t Eat Anymore

"Big sister, you're hilarious. Chi Yang is so handsome, and he has a good body. Plus, he's the most excellent officer in the military base. He's also so good to me. Tell me, how stupid and blind I would be if I don't like a man like that. Oh, it's okay if you like Chi Yang, but it's forbidden if I do? What logic is this?"0

Chi Yang's perturbed heart was calmed down with the two sisters' argument. He was not dreaming. It was because of Zhong Qianqian that Nuannuan did not accept him.

His actions finally touched Nuannuan's heart, that was why she decided to get rid of Qianqian's hold on her and opened her heart to him.

Chi Yang was initially unhappy with the Zhong family, but now he was satisfied. 

He would be the only one to love and cherish his wife in the future.

Zhong Kuijun was looking at Zhong Qianqian like he was looking at a chess piece that had lost its function. His eyes grew darker and said in a deep voice, "Alright! Chi Yang is the husband of your younger sister. You should be happy for them since their relationship is going steady. Look at yourself now. You're such an embarrassment!"

"Alright, alright, let's eat. Nuannuan, since you like Chi Yang with your whole heart, mom hopes that you would stay together forever. If not, you would hurt Qianqian and also Chi Yang."

"Don't worry, mom. No one's more important than Chi Yang to me."

"I'm full. You guys take your time."

Zhong Qianqian could not stand it any longer. She had lost all of her dignity and now she had to look at the both of them being lovey-dovey in front of her.

After Zhong Qianqian left, the dinner table was peaceful once again.

"Uncle Zhong, when do you plan to hold a banquet for Nuannuan?"

"Hmm? What?" Zhong Kuijun thought that he had misheard. Why would they hold a banquet for Nuannuan when nothing was going on?

"Don't you have anything in mind for this, Uncle Zhong? The Zhong family's name was dragged through the mud after Zhou Jinhui's death, and what affected the most was Nuannuan was accused of wrongly. Although the law has acquitted Nuannuan, other people won't know about this. Don't you want to hold a banquet and let other people know so that they won't gossip about this, Uncle Zhong?" 

Chi Yang's words alarmed Zhong Kuijun.

As a father, he should be the one who had thought of this, but who knew Chi Yang was the one who suggested it.

He chuckled dryly and said, "Ah, you meant this! Of course, we'll plan a banquet. Today's Sunday, Nuannuan would only go back to school after one week, so I'll hold the banquet during the next weekend. What do you think?"

Chi Yang nodded, "Okay."

"Yeah. When the time comes, I will invite the ones that I am close with from the business industry and the military base, since there was quite a ruckus before."

Chi Yang nodded after contemplating for a bit. The grander the banquet, the better.

Zhong Kuijun felt pleased but did not show it, he continued with a look of concern on his face, "It's just that, when that thing happened to Nuannuan, I was reporting my work with the commander in chief, so the commander in chief knows about this as well. But I am just a mere commander, and I'm not that close with the commander in chief. I don't think I am at the position to invite him to the banquet, but if I don't invite him…"

"I'll invite the commander in chief."

Even though he knew what Zhong Kuijun had in mind, but he was willing to be in deep waters for him.

This was because Zhong Nuannuan was not only Zhong Kuijun's daughter, but she was also his fiance. He would not let his wife be unjustly accused.

When he heard that Chi Yang would invite the commander in chief for him, Zhong Kuijun was so excited that the veins on his neck were showing.
