Chapter 1272 - 761: For Your Sake
"Captain Feng, you still haven’t told me, how come you are in Ludong?" Watching Feng Tianzhi sitting comfortably in the living room, chatting enthusiastically with Grandpa and Mom, Luo Ye couldn’t hold back any longer.
He came in, specifically choosing topics that middle-aged and older people love to hear, and half an hour had passed with him still looking engrossed. If they didn’t interrupt him, who knows how long he would continue?
"I’m here for a meeting, and since I had some free time, I thought I’d drop by to see Grandpa and Aunt and Uncle," Feng Tianzhi finally paused his conversation to answer Luo Ye’s question.
"A meeting? What kind of meeting?" Luo Ye sought an answer.
"Ye’er! How can you speak to a leader like that?" Wen Xin scolded her daughter lightly and turned to Feng Tianzhi with a smile. "Xiao Feng, Ye’er is too pampered by us, don’t take it to heart, Aunt apologizes on her behalf."
Mom’s words... tsk tsk tsk... Ginger does get spicier with age. Noticing Feng Tianzhi’s twitching lips, Luo Ye suddenly felt delighted, "Captain Feng, I’m sorry, I was rude."
Feng Tianzhi glanced at Luo Ye, raised his brows slightly, then turned his attention to Old Master Luo and Wen Xin, "Grandpa, Aunt, what do you think of me?"
That question...
"Very good." Old Master Luo and Wen Xin couldn’t very well not answer, so they responded in unison.
"If the Luo Family is willing to let me take care of Little Ye’er, I promise to protect her very well. Compared to that stubborn donkey, Ye Xuan, I feel I am more suitable for Little Ye’er.
Grandpa and Aunt, don’t be quick to reject me. Surely, you want Little Ye’er to be happy, right? Marriage is not child’s play, it shouldn’t be forced just because you promised something and can’t go back on your word."
"Captain Feng, are you just speaking to yourself here?" Luo Ye examined Feng Tianzhi up and down, "Didn’t we have a good talk already? And what’s this act now, or have you been provoked by something?"
"No." Feng Tianzhi’s expression turned serious, "It’s only in matters of the heart that I can’t compromise. Initially, I thought stepping back would lead to a broader path, but if I step back, it means giving up the chance to make you happy.
That’s why I took the opportunity while you’re at home, to come over and ask Grandpa and Aunt and Uncle to help you think it over. Trust the elders’ judgment, they have experience, right Grandpa, Aunt?"
"Xiao Feng, you’re indeed excellent. But the Ye Family has shown kindness to the Luo Family, and Ye Xuan has been a well-behaved kid, nothing to complain about for Ye’er either. We can’t do something ungrateful." Old Master Luo was the first to reject.
Wen Xin immediately added, "Yes, Xiao Feng, my father-in-law is right. Ye Xuan may have a few minor flaws, but compared to his strengths, those flaws are negligible. Moreover, being too handsome isn’t his fault, nor is it something he can choose.
Aunt sincerely appreciates your care and help for our Ye’er, but returning the favor in this matter would lead to us being talked about behind our backs, and we can’t engage in such things."
"How do you feel now?" Luo Ye spread her hands with a proud look, "Failing, huh? Did you really think chatting with my Grandpa and Mom using topics they like for half an hour would make them bought by you? Hmph!"
"You’re mistaken. I wasn’t specifically choosing topics that Grandpa and Aunt like, but genuinely enjoy chatting with them. As for buying, you’re overthinking it.
Regarding your happiness, how could Grandpa and Aunt be bought? At most, they’re just helping you make a choice," Feng Tianzhi looked seriously at Old Master Luo and Wen Xin, "Grandpa, Aunt, I’ll show you my sincerity."
"Xiao Feng, matters of the heart cannot be forced. Ye’er and Xiao Xuan have known each other for nearly four years."
"Grandpa, I understand your point, but feelings really can’t be measured in terms of how long you’ve known each other. I came today to express an attitude, but ultimately, it depends on Little Ye’er’s choice." Feng Tianzhi paused briefly and wore a serious expression, "But rest assured, elders, while I might not play by conventional rules, I would never do anything that wouldn’t benefit Little Ye’er."
"Alright, we’ll not interfere too much in you young people’s affairs, as long as you remember your last words." Old Master Luo sighed softly and looked at Luo Ye, "Ye’er, at any time, Grandpa and your parents are on your side."
Luo Ye nodded with a smile, "I know, your actions just now have already shown that."
"What happened earlier?" Feng Tianzhi asked curiously.
