Chapter 355 The Petty Scheme of the Scholar
Yunmu's worries did not diminish. She felt that any man would mind that his wife had a child before marriage, even if the child was adopted. Outsiders would gossip. Although they would protect their daughter, they were also afraid that those foul words would dirty their daughter's ears and make her feel uncomfortable.
Before Yunmu could speak, a firm voice came from above, "Auntie, I don't mind."
The gentle yet firm voice resounded throughout the entire villa. The four people in the living room looked up and noticed that Cheng Shuyan had somehow come out of the guest room on the second floor and was standing at the corner of the second-floor staircase.
“If you don’t believe me, I’ll go back and get my household registration book right now, and I’ll get my marriage certificate with Zhizhi tomorrow. Then KK will be the child of both Zhizhi and me.” Cheng Shuyan held onto the railing with one hand and walked down the stairs step by step.
His voice was urgent, as if he would drive back to get the household registration book as soon as Yunmu nodded. If the Civil Affairs Bureau hadn't already closed at this time, Cheng Shuyan would probably have suggested getting the marriage certificate right now.
A blush crept onto Yunzhi's cheeks, and her heart pounded like a drum. The word "result" seemed to be playing on repeat in her ears. How did things suddenly turn into marriage?
Yun Yun's lips twitched slightly. He seriously suspected that Cheng Shuyan had been waiting for this moment. He was probably overjoyed. Marrying Zhizhi? He wanted to have all the good things in the world. Marriage wasn't so easy. At least he would have to go through certain tests before he could be sure that Cheng Shuyan was someone his sister could entrust her life to.
Yunmu hesitated, feeling gratified but also wanting to say to Xiao Cheng, "Your smile is just too obvious."
"It's too early to talk about marriage." Finally, it was Yun's father, the head of the family, who spoke up. "It's not that our family can't afford to raise a child, it's just adoption. Of course, we believe you won't mind, it's just other people outside..."
Before Yun's father could finish speaking, Cheng Shuyan, as if expressing his determination, said impatiently, "Uncle, I will shut those people up. I will never let them gossip in front of Zhizhi and offend her ears. As for my family, I will sever ties with my grandfather. Even if Zhizhi and I get married in the future, no relatives will gossip in front of Zhizhi."
If possible, Cheng Shuyan would even be willing to marry into the family, but now is not the time to talk about that.
Yun Yun couldn't help but roll her eyes at Cheng Shuyan, looking at his worthless appearance. Just then, Cheng Shuyan turned around, and their eyes met. Cheng Shuyan smiled slightly and spoke slowly.
"Brother, I heard what you just said. I didn't expect you to be such an easygoing person. I just wonder how she will react to what you said."
Although Cheng Shuyan did not name her, Yun Yun immediately realized that she was her first love whom she was pursuing. She had finally passed her green bubble, and if Cheng Shuyan were to sow discord at this moment, she might really be eliminated.
"Cheng Shuyan, you, you're really something. How come I never noticed you were such a heartless glutinous rice ball before? Don't talk nonsense about what you just said. I was just talking rubbish. If this gets out, you can forget about marrying my sister for the rest of your life." Yun Yun ground her teeth together, but she couldn't do anything about Cheng Shuyan.
Moreover, Yun Yun still doesn't know the true identity of his first love. He originally planned to take things slowly and wait for her to tell him on her own initiative, but he has been busy lately, and their conversations have only reached the level of greetings. He doesn't know how many years it will take to progress to the stage of being friends. But judging from Cheng Shuyan's words, it seems that he and his first love have a pretty good relationship in real life.
Just thinking about it made Yun Yun feel incredibly jealous.
"Don't worry, big brother, I'm not a gossip." Cheng Shuyan's smile became even brighter. His gaze fell on Yunzhi, who was leaning her head to the side and covered in a layer of pink. His voice was ambiguous. "Just don't encourage Zhizhi next time. If Zhizhi really listens to big brother, then I might really have to stay single with big brother."
He shrugged helplessly, but Yun Yun could hear the threat in his voice. This Cheng Shuyan was so petty. She had only said a few extra words, and he was already scheming to make her a bachelor. If she could, Yun Yun would rather her sister not marry such a stingy person.
But he didn't have time to speak at all, and finally nodded sullenly to indicate that he understood.
"Shuyan, why did you come down? Where's KK?" Yunzhi couldn't stand it anymore. She hadn't agreed to get married yet, but these two men were talking back and forth as if she were about to get married any second now.
“When I came out, KK was already asleep. I was originally thinking of coming down to explain things to you, but I ended up hearing my older brother giving you advice.” Cheng Shuyan’s tone suddenly dropped as she said this. “Zhizhi, my older brother is right. You haven’t experienced other men, which is why you think I’m good. If you had experienced other men, you might not be so hung up on me.”
His lowered eyes made Yunzhi's heart feel as if it had been hit hard. Ignoring her older brother's glare, she subconsciously grabbed Cheng Shuyan's hand, "Don't listen to my brother's nonsense. I know you're good to me. You're the best man in the world."
As Yunzhi finished speaking, she suddenly felt two sharp, piercing gazes on her. Without even looking up, she knew whose gazes they were. She coughed lightly and added, "Of course, they are the best men in the world besides my father and brother."
Father Yun nodded in satisfaction. Yun Yun, standing to the side, sneered. It's true what they say, daughters grow up and leave home. It seems it won't be long before we're feasting on their wedding banquet. Judging from her current state, it probably won't be long before this heartless glutinous rice ball tricks her into going to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get a marriage certificate.
Just thinking about it made Yun Yun's eyes blaze with anger.
Hearing the answer he wanted, Cheng Shuyan felt relieved. Even if he was ranked after Yun's father and Yun Yun, he was satisfied. He knew that Zhizhi cared about him, and that his importance in Zhizhi's heart was something that no one else could compare to.
"Mom and Dad, let's talk about KK. I've decided to adopt KK. Even if you don't want to, I'm going to adopt him. He's very well-behaved, as you've seen. You'll definitely like KK in the future." Yunzhi didn't dare to look into Cheng Shuyan's gentle gaze and quickly got down to business.
