Mu Rufeng raised his head slightly and looked at Xiao Chengyi, then placed the white piece in his hand on the chessboard: "If possible, I would rather Yan Yan is just an ordinary person and does not have to be involved in these disputes.
To be honest, you are not the perfect son-in-law candidate in my mind, but it is undeniable that you are talented and capable and you care about Yan Yan. The most important thing is that I believe in your character.
What's more, you and Yan Yan are already engaged, how can I ruin the promise just because of my own selfish desires? I'm not a rigid person, as long as Yan Yan can be happy, nothing else matters."
Xiao Chengyi's expression was slightly startled after hearing his words. He picked up a chess piece and dropped it: "I, Xiao Chengyi, can promise you that Yan Yan is the only one in this life."
Mu Rufeng was stunned for a moment, then chuckled: "It's too early to say this. Are you so sure that my daughter will like you and won't marry you unless you are the one?"
Xiao Chengyi raised his eyebrows: "I am confident."
Mu Rufeng snorted: "I think you just see that Yan Yan is young and easy to deceive. Anyway, I want to keep my daughter until she is eighteen before she gets married!"
Xiao Chengyi: "..."
He finally had hope, but Mu Rufeng still wanted to keep her until she was eighteen. What would happen if she waited another three years?
Xiao Chengyi held back his anger for a long time. He glanced at Mu Rufeng and simply showed no mercy. He said bitterly: "You lost!"
The corners of Mu Rufeng's lips twitched and she cursed: "You brat."
With his attitude, he still wants to marry his daughter, just wait!
He didn't want to play this game anymore. He picked up the tea cup on the small table and took a sip of tea and asked: "I heard that you suspected that Sister Yue was the mastermind behind the scenes, but you were mistaken?"
Xiao Chengyi said: "Although I have no definite evidence, this person is indeed suspicious."
Mu Rufeng narrowed her eyes: "I can see that Sister Yue likes you. If she is really the mastermind behind dealing with Yan Yan, she has only one motive, and that is for you! Did she know you before?"
Xiao Chengyi shook his head: "The only explanation for Shen Wanyue's behavior is the theory of strange power that confuses the gods."
Mu Rufeng's eyebrows moved when he heard this. He thought for a while and said: "The story of strange power and chaos of gods may not be unbelievable. Did you know that there is a Fansheng Temple thirty miles away from the suburbs of Beijing.
I heard that there is an eminent monk in the temple who can see all people's past and present lives at a glance. Why don't you take the time to walk around and find this eminent monk to answer your questions, but I heard that this person only sees people who are destined."
Xiao Chengyi nodded and secretly noted it down.
Seeing that it was getting late, Mu Rufeng stood up without leaving him alone and said: "It's getting late. Your mother should be anxious. I won't leave you alone."
Xiao Chengyi: "..."
He watched Mu Rufeng stride out of the study and was speechless. Sure enough, getting married was different! He didn't know when he would marry Yan Yan.
These days are really torturous!
Xiao Chengyi walked out of the Zhengwei Hall riding the night wind. Suddenly a strong wind hit him from one side. He turned around to hide and then exchanged hands with the man.
After a few rounds, Xiao Chengyi locked the man's arm and heard a cry for mercy: "Oh, Brother Xiao, it's me, it's me!"
Xiao Chengyi naturally knew that it was Wang Zefang, and it was precisely because he knew that he would strike without mercy: "It turned out to be Mr. Wang, I thought it was Xiao Xiao."
As he said that, he let go of his hand.
Wang Zefang rubbed his aching arm and couldn't help but twitch the corners of his lips: "I just wanted to try Brother Xiao's kung fu down below. I didn't expect Brother Xiao to be a master. I admire him, I admire him!"
Xiao Chengyi smiled slightly: "It's not that Xiao's kung fu is good, it's that Mr. Wang's kung fu is too bad."
