The Beloved and Pampered Girl

Chapter 1156: Chapter 1156: Evading Is Not a Way to Solve Problems

After breakfast the next day, we were ready to set out for the family portrait session when we bumped into Zi Yan and Lu Ting, who were just coming in.

“Zi Yan, you’re back!” Jian Dan embraced Zi Yan in a bear hug.

“Jian, why are you still like this? Can’t you come up with something new?”

“Something new?” Jian Dan thought for a moment. “Got it, let’s do it again!” She released Zi Yan, stepped back a few paces…

“Zi Yan, you’re back!” Jian Dan leaped onto Zi Yan. “How’s that for a new trick?”

Zi Yan looked helplessly at Jian Dan. “Let’s stick with the old ways in the future, okay?”

Jian Dan laughed and hopped off Zi Yan.

“Are you guys just about to head out?”

“Yeah! We’re off to take the family portrait. Perfect timing, let’s go together!”

Jian Dan pulled Zi Yan into the car with her…

“Zi Yan, how long are you planning to stay this time?” Jian Dan asked once they were in the car.

“It shouldn’t be too long, just here to attend a medical conference.”

“Zi Yan, you know, since I came back, I could count the number of times I’ve seen you on my fingers without running out.”

“That can’t be helped! Lu Ting’s job has him traveling everywhere!”

“Zi Yan, if you’re looking for excuses, at least find a good one, okay? I know what kind of job Lu Ting has.”

Zi Yan listened to Jian Dan and said nothing, bowing her head.

“Zi Yan, some problems can’t be solved by running away. Do you really plan to keep going on like this forever?” Beating around the bush wasn’t Jian Dan’s style.

“Jian? I…”

“The issue you’re worried about doesn’t exist anymore!”

“What do you mean?”

“Sizhe is getting married!”

“Are you serious?”

“Of course, I am. How could I lie about something like that? You know his bride-to-be, it’s Yuanyuan!”

“You mean the girl from the bridesmaid group at your wedding last time?”

“Exactly! Her!”

“I never imagined those two would end up together. That’s unexpected!”

“Fate is a strange thing!”

“Anyway, I’m happy for Sizhe that he’s found his own happiness.”

“Their wedding is set for next month.”

“That soon?”

“When you’ve met the right person, of course you want to make them yours as soon as possible. Don’t you feel the same?” Jian Dan began to weave into her point smoothly.

“I…”

“You and Lu Ting have been together for so long, haven’t you ever thought about wedding plans?”

Zi Yan fell into thought…

Despite Zi Yan’s generally cool and detached demeanor, it didn’t mean that she harbored no desire for a romantic wedding deep inside.

“Zi Yan, let me tell you, if you don’t have a wedding, then the bride price you paid earlier can’t be claimed back. How much would you lose then? Think about it, right?”

“Seems like a big loss!” Zi Yan didn’t speak, but Chu Liyuan was the first to chime in.

“Right? Even the uncle agrees. So, a wedding is definitely on the cards. You know what? Let’s just skip the hassle and have a double wedding with Sizhe and Yuanyuan! How about that?” Jian Dan finally revealed her plan.

“Together?”

“Yes! How cool would a double wedding be!

Since Sizhe and Lu Ting are good brothers, sharing a wedding would be so meaningful, right?”

“But how could Sizhe agree to that?”

“You don’t need to worry about that part. As long as you agree, leave the rest to me!”

“But I still need to discuss it with Lu Ting!”

“What’s there to discuss? If you agree, how could Lu Ting possibly disagree?”

“But…”

“No buts, Zi Yan. Why have you become so wishy-washy? You used to be so decisive! That’s it, it’s decided!” Jian Dan made the decision on a whim.

“Jian, you…”

“Don’t worry, I will definitely keep you here this time!” Jian Dan spoke with assurance.

Zi Yan looked at Jian Dan, a smile tugging at her lips.

“Yes! That’s the expression. Hold onto it, you need to have that same look on your wedding day, okay?”

Watching Jian Dan’s extraordinary performance, the corners of Chu Liyuan’s mouth twitched…
