The day Shi Mingyuan and his wife took Shiyin to the Zhou family for a visit, Zhou Siyang was not there, only Old Master Zhou and Zhou Chengyuan were at home.

Old Master Zhou knew their purpose for coming, he warmly entertained them to lunch, saying they would talk while eating.

Shi Mingyuan said to Zhou Jinfeng, “Old Master, I’ve thought it over carefully, and I’ve also talked to Yinyin for a long time, and finally decided to respect Yinyin’s own choice, she can marry whoever she likes.”

Old Master Zhou hadn’t been waiting for nothing these days, he had also weighed the pros and cons, and thought about the thoughts and intentions of everyone involved.

Shi Mingyuan, needless to say, wanted his daughter to be happy and also wanted to cooperate, and as for Shiyin, he knew this child, she was simple and innocent, he was quite relieved about her.

So Zhou Jinfeng still had expectations for this marriage.

However, Shi Mingyuan paused and then said, “But Old Master, my nephew has a few requests, I hope you can agree to them.”

Zhou Jinfeng raised an eyebrow, calmly and happily said, “Go ahead and tell me.”

Shi Mingyuan cleared his throat and said cautiously, “It’s like this, Yinyin has only just entered the entertainment industry, I was thinking, maybe we can keep her marriage a secret for now, and talk about it later, you know, for celebrities, love affairs and marriage actually have a big impact on their careers, so…”

Zhou Jinfeng nodded, “I understand what you mean, old man.”

“But I don’t have the final say, this is Chengyuan’s marriage after all,” Zhou Jinfeng said impassively, “We still have to listen to his thoughts, see if he’s willing.”

Actually, Zhou Jinfeng did mind.

Who doesn’t have their own selfish desires?

Although he knew his younger son was a sickly man, and he also knew that Shiyin, a beautiful young lady, marrying Chengyuan was a bit of a pity, after all, the doctor said that Zhou Chengyuan’s illness could only be left to fate, so no one could tell when Shiyin would become a widow.

But since it was a marriage, Zhou Jinfeng naturally wanted to have a grand celebration, to let everyone know that his son, Zhou Chengyuan, had married a wife.

This was a happy occasion, why hide it?

But this was just his view from his position, Shi Mingyuan wasn’t a member of the Zhou family, so naturally he had different thoughts.

Besides, he had selfish desires, and Shi Mingyuan did too.

Who would want to let their healthy and beautiful daughter in her early twenties marry a terminally ill patient who might die any time? Who wouldn’t want to choose a good son-in-law?

If Shi Mingyuan had other ways to save the company, he wouldn’t have resorted to selling his daughter.

He already felt guilty enough towards his daughter, now he could only try to get the most benefits for her.

Plan ahead and prepare a way out for his daughter.

After Zhou Jinfeng finished speaking, everyone’s eyes fell on Zhou Chengyuan, who was sitting quietly in his wheelchair, listening to them.

Zhou Chengyuan’s face was pale, although he was tall, but maybe because he was tortured by illness, he was very thin, looking very weak.

He pondered for a moment, then raised his eyes, his gaze calm as he looked at Shiyin, Shiyin was blinking, also staring at him.

Actually, Shiyin didn’t really care about whether they could keep the marriage a secret, whether it was public or not, she would be single again in the end, she wanted the result, even if she didn’t hide it from others, it wouldn’t have any impact on her, it could even be said to be better for her.

If her marriage to Zhou Chengyuan could help her block other suitors, it wouldn’t be bad.

Zhou Chengyuan looked at Shiyin, who was blinking innocently at him, a faint smile suddenly appeared at the corner of his lips, he said slowly, “Okay.”

“As long as it’s good for Yinyin, anything goes.”

Shiyin was slightly surprised, then she curved her eyebrows.

The little person in her heart was screaming and spinning in circles.

This man is a wife-spoiling maniac!

A few days ago, he texted her saying “As long as Yinyin likes it, you can do whatever you want,” now he’s saying “As long as it’s good for Yinyin, anything goes” in front of her to her elders.

What kind of godly man is this!

Since Zhou Chengyuan said so, Zhou Jinfeng couldn’t say anything more, he could only compromise helplessly, but he still made one request in the end, that Shiyin and Zhou Chengyuan get their marriage license.

The Zhou family had compromised and agreed not to hold a wedding ceremony, Shi Mingyuan didn’t dare to push his luck, anyway, after Zhou Chengyuan died, Yinyin would be single again, the Zhou family wouldn’t be able to do anything to her.

So Shi Mingyuan didn’t refuse Zhou Jinfeng’s request.

Then the two families discussed when it would be suitable for Shiyin to move in.

Considering Zhou Chengyuan’s physical condition, Zhou Jinfeng still wanted Shiyin to marry Zhou Chengyuan and move in as soon as possible, after all, for Zhou Chengyuan, maybe every day was one less day.

So, for this marriage, Zhou Jinfeng directly skipped the engagement stage, he looked at the almanac, picked a recent auspicious day for marriage, just three days later.

Tang Yulin wanted to say something, but Shi Mingyuan stopped her.

Shiyin knew what she wanted to say, she must have thought it was too rushed, and wanted Old Master Zhou to postpone it.

But she probably didn’t realize that Zhou Jinfeng had already made a concession by not letting them hold a wedding ceremony, if she made any more demands, Old Master Zhou might not be happy.

Besides, this marriage, although it was also beneficial to the Zhou family, it definitely wouldn’t be the same as the Shi family, it was a turning point that would determine the fate of the Shi company.

So Shi Mingyuan had to ensure that the marriage went smoothly, so that their cooperation could go smoothly, and the company could be saved.

For this reason, he naturally couldn’t let his straightforward wife, who had no mind and said whatever came to mind, blurt out the words.

The five of them ate lunch with different thoughts, later Zhou Jinfeng and Shi Mingyuan chatted about company matters, Shiyin, a little star, couldn’t understand business matters, so she casually found an excuse to slip into the Zhou family’s backyard to play alone.

The Zhou family’s courtyard was a large mansion with a Ming and Qing style, there was a long corridor, after passing through, there was a rosewood swing on the side. Shiyin walked over and sat on the swing, she gently swung the swing, relaxing while recalling the novel she had read in her mind.

Because she had changed her choice of spouse, everything was already deviating from the original plot, and presumably it would be very different from the development of the original book in the future.

After all, she became the male lead’s little aunt.

But there were definitely some things that wouldn’t change.

For example, the white moonlight who was still entangled with the male lead, who hadn’t appeared yet.

Shiyin narrowed her eyes slightly, thinking, “I’m not interested in Zhou Siyang, you can have him.”

One got divorced, couldn’t stand the hardship, came back to find her ex-boyfriend, the other got married but betrayed the marriage and flirted with his ex-girlfriend, they were actually quite a match.

Shiyin was lost in thought, she didn’t notice anyone coming to the backyard, she gently swayed the swing, thinking of her friends in real life, she couldn’t help but feel a little nostalgic.

Zhou Chengyuan had Chen Meng push him to the swing, Shiyin was facing west, Zhou Chengyuan wasn’t facing her directly, but was facing north, so that he could put his hand on the back of the swing chair.

He applied a little force, gently pushing her.

Shiyin didn’t notice anything unusual at first, Zhou Chengyuan asked in a low voice behind her, “What are you thinking about?”

“Sigh,” Shiyin sighed, a little dejected, “I miss my family, I miss home.”

Zhou Chengyuan raised his eyebrows slightly and chuckled, “You’re already missing home before you even move in?”

Shiyin frowned slightly, she suddenly came to her senses, turned her head and saw a thin, handsome face, Zhou Chengyuan was looking at her leisurely, his eyes filled with a faint smile.

Shiyin blinked quickly, “Uncle Chengyuan!”

Zhou Chengyuan didn’t say anything, she just heard her scold him with a bit of annoyance, “Why are you trying to pry into my thoughts?”

Zhou Chengyuan said he was innocent, he said frankly, “I was asking openly.”

Shiyin pouted, feeling a little tongue-tied.

It was true, Zhou Chengyuan had just asked directly.

Shiyin was very grateful that he hadn’t asked questions like “Shiyin, do you like Zhou Chengyuan?” or “Do you really want to marry Zhou Chengyuan?”

Otherwise, she would have been exposed.

“Humph.” She snorted and turned her head away.

“You still love swinging.” Zhou Chengyuan sighed.

Shiyin smiled, “It’s fun.”

She asked him invitingly, “Do you want to try? It’s really fun.”

She was just being polite, after all, she said she liked him, so she had to pretend.

Actually, Shiyin didn’t want to swing with him at all.

Besides…

“Ah!” Shiyin pretended to suddenly remember something, her face showing regret, “I forgot you’re still in a wheelchair, you probably can’t…”

Before Shiyin could finish her excuse, she heard Zhou Chengyuan say, “It’s okay, I can try, swing with you.”

Shiyin: “???”

Did she hear wrong?

Dude, you’re in a wheelchair! I just said it casually, you just had to listen casually, why did you take it seriously?

Can’t you let me lay down this excuse and walk away peacefully?

After Zhou Chengyuan finished speaking, he controlled the advanced wheelchair by himself, went around the swing, and stopped in front of Shiyin.

He put his feet down, stepped on the ground, and pressed his hands on the armrests, looking like he was about to stand up.

Chen Meng, who had been standing aside, was about to walk over, but Shiyin quickly got up from the swing and supported him.

Shiyin didn’t dare to be careless, if anything happened to him, Old Master Zhou would surely kill her.

Zhou Chengyuan could actually stand up by himself, after all, he was just sick, his body was weaker, he wasn’t disabled and couldn’t walk.

It’s just that everyone else treated him like a disabled person, they were very cautious about everything they did, afraid that he would get hurt.

Since that’s the case, then he’ll just be a disabled person.

The moment Zhou Chengyuan’s hand was held by Shiyin, a glimmer of light flashed in his lowered eyes.

He smiled slightly, his lips curving.

Yinyin wanted to protect him.

This was something he longed for.

Zhou Chengyuan didn’t refuse, he cooperated with her, held her hand, and let her carefully help him over, the two of them sat down together on the swing.

The wheelchair was in the way, Zhou Chengyuan asked Chen Meng to push the wheelchair away.

Chen Meng understood his meaning, he pushed the wheelchair away and didn’t come back.

Shiyin held the iron chain that fastened the swing seat with one hand, and the other hand was held by Zhou Chengyuan, he didn’t let go.

She didn’t dare to pull it back.

After all, she had “liked” him for many years, and they were about to get married, holding hands seemed normal?

The two of them didn’t speak for a while.

Shiyin felt the strange silence was a bit weird.

Just as Shiyin was racking her brains to find something to talk about, she suddenly felt a weight on her shoulder.

Her body froze, Shiyin mechanically turned her head, looking at the man sleeping on her shoulder, she was speechless.

Shiyin blinked, softly calling him, “Uncle Chengyuan?”

“Uncle?”

“Zhou Chengyuan?”

She called out several times, but he didn’t react, Shiyin was slightly relieved, she tried to pull her hand out of his palm, but he was holding on too tight, and he was even holding her hand, making it very difficult.

Shiyin quietly struggled for a while but couldn’t succeed, so she gave up.

“Sigh,” she sighed, looking at Zhou Chengyuan’s peaceful sleeping face, she said with a hint of regret, “It’s a pity, such a handsome man, only three months left.”

After saying that, she looked away, so she didn’t see the man sleeping on her shoulder’s eyelashes tremble very slightly.

The next second, Zhou Chengyuan suddenly felt something strange on his face.

Shiyin took out her eyebrow pencil from her bag and was showing off her skills on Zhou Chengyuan’s face.

Zhou Chengyuan: “…”

Is his Yinyin so playful?

He’ll have to discipline her well in the future.
