Chapter 144 Pretending to be a Couple
As expected, Chen Huaiting didn't show much embarrassment on his face.

I don't think it's shameful for an elder to apologize to a younger generation.

After all, after so many days of in-depth self-criticism, he did realize that his previous actions were biased.

And extremely ridiculous.

"Zhizhi," he said in a gentle manner, with a feeling of a loving father, "Uncle is here today, and I sincerely apologize to you. I hope you don't take the unpleasant things before to heart. Uncle's thoughts are stubborn, please forgive me." Forgive me."

He has lowered his figure to say this, Xuan Zhi couldn't possibly still be worried about it.

There was a slight smile on the corner of her mouth, she really let go of her heart, and said: "Uncle Chen, you are serious. If there was any contradiction before, please forgive me."

No matter what kind of situation she faces, she can always be calm and unhurried.

Chen Huaiting began to give more favor and protection to this future daughter-in-law.

But it was strange, at the moment when the corner of her mouth was slightly raised, he somehow seemed to see a small shadow of Xixi from her body...

"Yuzhi, Grandma has something else to ask you." When Chen Huaiting was wandering, Grandma Chen held Xuan Zhi's wrist tightly and said, "Your great grandfather may have a destiny with you, and the elders took him home. It's been two or three days, and he still doesn't like to talk. Can you stay in Chen's house for a few days and have a heart-to-heart talk with him?"

"Okay, grandma." Xuan Zhi readily agreed, because she still wanted to know how her grandpa never came back from crossing the mountain.

His story cannot stop here, he is still thinking about taking his 490 brothers home...

……

Return from the ancestral hall to the Chen family mansion.

Cen Yan just woke up and was sitting alone in the courtyard in a daze.

Xuan Zhi came over by herself first, Chen Jingpei was talking with the other brothers in the hall, and she didn't participate.

She walked to the stone bench next to Cen Yan and sat down, and asked, "Sister Ah Yan, I heard from Uncle Yunze that the family arranged a marriage for you, is it true?"

Before, more than anyone else, she hoped that Cen Yan would empathize with her and stop being a widow for her uncle, but now that she heard that her family had arranged a marriage, she didn't want her to marry someone else.

She can only accept it unless the person she is marrying is Chen Yunze.

"Well, my family arranged a marriage for me." Cen Yan was depressed, "But I can't obey. I have already thought of a countermeasure and asked Aze to help."

"What countermeasure?"

"Pretend to be a couple with Aze, and then we will separate after returning to Luoguo smoothly."

Xuan Zhi: "..."

Xuan Zhi was silent for two or three seconds, and finally couldn't bear to say: "Sister Ah Yan, are you really not thinking about Uncle Yunze? He has liked you for so long..."

"Yuzhi," Cen Yan interrupted her, "Ah Jin has already occupied my whole heart, I can't spare any extra space for Aze to squeeze in, can you understand?"

"But...my uncle will never come back."

"I know," Cen Yan pretended to smile with tears in his eyes, "but I always feel that he is still by my side and has not left."

What she said was somewhat self-deceiving.

"Then you... let Uncle Yunze pretend to be a couple with you, didn't you think it would hurt him? Uncle Yunze is actually very fragile... I really hope that you two can be together."

"Zhizhi." Cen Yan didn't seem to want to hear these words, "Did he bribe you? Now you don't stand on the same side as me."

"He didn't bribe me, and he never wanted anything in return. He said that if you never marry, he will never marry. But if you marry someone else, he might as well die."

The latter sentence was added by Xuan Zhi himself, but summing up the degree of Chen Yunze's infatuation with Cen Yan, she felt that he probably thought the same way in his heart.

"So, I want to say, if you are forced to marry him, can you make room for him? After all, he liked you throughout your youth..."

"Is it possible that he liked my whole youth?" Cen Yan didn't really believe it, "I wrote a love letter back then and asked him to help take it to your uncle, but he didn't respond at all."

Outside the Hanging Flower Gate, Chen Yunze stopped in his tracks.

Cen Yan continued to express his heart: "All in all, I just treat him as an older brother, and it is impossible to have other feelings. My entire youth, only Xuan Jin..."
