After understanding animal language, the villainous girl is guaranteed to become a heartthrob.

Chapter 766 Bright and Gentle Eyes (The End)
The beef brisket broth in the clay pot was bubbling away, with wisps of milky white steam rising gently.

A group of people sat around a hot pot, the table steaming with warmth, their laughter and conversation filling the air.

It was nearly 11 p.m., and the night was deep when Jiang Yuan and his group got up to say goodbye.

Wei Fangfei and Si Heng watched them get into the car and leave.

Back in the living room, Zhou Wenman, who said she was going to sleep, sat on the sofa.

"Mom, aren't you sleepy?" Wei Fangfei asked.

Zhou Wenman chuckled and said, "I couldn't fall asleep after lying down. Why did the children leave so early?"

"It's getting late," Wei Fangfei said. "It's already eleven o'clock."

“These children are all quite good.” Zhou Wenman smiled kindly and gently. “I like them very much.”

Wei Fangfei went behind her and massaged her shoulders while saying, "I like it too. I never thought that I could still make friends with young people at my age."

"You..." Zhou Wenman swallowed her words, sighed, and looked at Si Heng. "Fangfei and I both like him. Do you like him, Si Heng?"

Si Heng was looking at his phone when he heard the sound, so he looked up and asked, "Grandma, what do you like?"

Zhou Wenman: "Those three little girls."

Si Heng: "..."

A look of helplessness crossed his face. "Grandma, don't be naughty."

"Mom, don't worry about it." Wei Fangfei leaned closer to Zhou Wenman. "I asked Yuan Yuan, and she has no intention of finding a boyfriend right now."

I thought this would dissuade Zhou Wenman, but to my surprise, the old lady got even more excited after hearing this.

"What a coincidence!" Zhou Wenman exclaimed excitedly. "What a coincidence!"

Upon hearing this, Wei Fangfei asked with a puzzled look, "What's going on? How did we end up being so destined?"

“She doesn’t want to find a partner right now, and neither does Aheng. Isn’t that fate?” Zhou Wenman said with a mysterious smile.

Wei Fangfei: "..."

Si Heng: "..."

Si Heng returned to his room, stood by the window for a while, then turned around, picked up his phone, typed a message, and sent it out.

[Si Heng: Don't take what the old lady said today to heart.]

Jiang Yuan, sitting in the car, received the message and quickly typed a few words in reply: "I know, Auntie is quite cute."

Si Heng: [Cute yet exasperating.]

**
A week later, at the police station.

Jiang Yuan had just come down from Director Lou's office when she saw Chen Ziqi handing out candy—small red gift boxes with the character "囍" printed on them.

Her heart skipped a beat, and the next second, Chen Ziqi handed her a copy.

"Jiang Yuan, this is for you."

Jiang Yuan hesitated for a moment, then reached out and took the small red gift box, asking in confusion, "Ziqi, what is this?"

"Wedding candy," Chen Ziqi replied.

"Wedding candy?" Jiang Yuan was taken aback, her brows furrowing slightly, a look of confusion appearing on her face. "You...you're getting married?"

Xiaoxiao just accepted his confession, and now he's going to marry someone else?

"No, no," Chen Ziqi explained, a slight blush rising to her face. "We're not married yet."

Jiang Yuan: "Then how do we distribute wedding candy?"

Chen Ziqi explained shyly, "This is a wedding candy for those who have found love."

Jiang Yuan's eyes widened slightly in surprise. "You have to give out wedding candy even if you're no longer single?"

Chen Ziqi nodded: "Yes, that's more formal."

"Okay." Jiang Yuan waved the wedding candy in her hand. "I wish you and Xiaoxiao happiness."

Chen Ziqi chuckled: "Thanks, and I wish you find your other half soon!"

Jiang Yuan: "No need for that."

**
Half a year has passed in the blink of an eye.

On a clear, sunny day, Fu Xiaoxiao brought her boyfriend Chen Ziqi to the East Coast Villa.

After that day, Jiang Yuan noticed that Deng Rui had become a little strange.

"Sister, Mingfei, have you noticed?" Jiang Yuan whispered to Jiang Die and Song Mingfei, "Mom seems to be acting a little strange lately."

Song Mingfei blinked in confusion, "What's strange about it?"

Jiang Yuan: "She keeps praising so-and-so's son for being handsome lately."

Song Mingfei shook her head. "I didn't hear that."

Jiang Die: "I did hear it, but Mom probably said it specifically to Yuan Yuan."

Jiang Yuan stared wide-eyed in surprise, looking bewildered: "Huh? Why?" Jiang Die looked at her delicate and innocent face and gave a meaningful smile, "Xiao Xiao has a boyfriend, and Mom is starting to get anxious."

"Why is she in such a hurry?" Jiang Yuan said helplessly. "I'm not in a hurry at all."

Jiang Die chuckled: "It's only human nature."

"Why does Mom only urge me and not Mingfei?" Jiang Yuan looked at Song Mingfei.

Song Mingfei quickly waved her hand, "No, no, no, I'm not in a hurry."

Jiang Die raised an eyebrow and smiled: "After urging Yuan Yuan, I'll urge Ming Fei. They'll both get a turn."

Jiang Yuan and Song Mingfei exchanged a glance, and saw a hint of impending doom in each other's eyes.

**
"Tomorrow is the Mid-Autumn Festival. I wish everyone a happy Mid-Autumn Festival and a joyous reunion with their families..."

Jiang Yuan had just finished her live stream and was still stretching when there was a knock on the door of her study.

"Yuan Yuan, may I come in?" Deng Rui's voice followed.

Jiang Yuan finished stretching and went to open the door.

Deng Rui smiled and held a cup of hot milk in her hand. "Yuan Yuan, are you done with your work? Mom warmed up a cup of milk for you."

Jiang Yuan stared at the cup of hot milk, and a phrase flashed through her mind: "No one visits the temple without a reason."

After finishing her milk, she asked hesitantly, "Mom, is there something you need to talk to me about?"

"How did you know?" Deng Rui asked with a delighted expression. "We really are connected as mother and daughter."

Jiang Yuan: "..."

I really don't want the mother and daughter to be of one mind at this moment.

"Mom, I want to focus on my career now," Jiang Yuan hinted.

"Mom knows," Deng Rui said with a smile. "You're so busy with your career that you don't have time to find a boyfriend or date."

Jiang Yuan nodded, "Yes, so..."

"So Mom has arranged everything for you." Deng Rui smiled even more happily.

"What are the arrangements?"

"1.88 meters tall, more handsome than male celebrities, with abs..."

"..."

Jiang Yuan frowned, sensing that things weren't so simple. "Mom, what do you mean by this?"

"Mom, there are more photos here." Deng Rui opened the album and showed her a picture. "Look, it's really beautiful."

Jiang Yuan glanced at the photo; it had a very AI-generated feel to it.

Ms. Deng was most likely scammed.

"Mom, where did you get this photo?"

"I met a dating expert online. This guy sent me this picture, saying he's the best quality guy. Isn't he handsome?"

Jiang Yuan frowned, thought for a moment, and decided to meet with the other party and take some real photos that would make Ms. Deng give up and not be fooled by people online.

Retired elderly women are too easily fooled.

Jiang Yuan agreed to keep the appointment, and Deng Rui couldn't stop smiling.

December 2026, 9.

After the Mid-Autumn Festival, Jiang Yuan went alone to the Western restaurant designated by Deng Rui.

She and Fu Xiaoxiao had eaten at this Western restaurant together; the environment was nice, and the food suited their tastes.

Hopefully, today's unpleasant meeting won't affect her positive impression of the restaurant.

As Jiang Yuan walked to the entrance of the Western restaurant, a waitress with her hair in a bun immediately greeted her warmly.

"Hello, is there a seat available?"

“M20,” Jiang Yuan announced the table number.

"Okay, please come this way." The waiter led her to seat M20.

It was a booth by the window, where sunlight slanted in and filtered through the gaps in the branches and leaves outside, casting bright spots of light on the wooden tabletop.

The man was wearing a simple black T-shirt, his elbow casually resting on the edge of the table, his head tilted as he looked out the window at the scenery, his profile sharp and distinct.

The more Jiang Yuan looked at it, the more she felt a strange sense of familiarity.

She stopped at the table, staring blankly at the other person. Her long eyelashes trembled slightly, and she uttered two words: "Si Heng?"

The clear, melodious voice reached his ears, and Si Heng's gaze paused slightly. He slowly turned his head to look over, only to be met with a pair of bright and gentle eyes without warning.
