This weekend? Are these two being a bit too anxious?

"You don't actually have to do anything. Your uncle and I will handle everything! You just need to let your family know. We'll have one celebration in Qingqiu Dao and another in Lingjin City!" Peng Ya chattered on. "We've got it all covered, so you don't need to worry about getting too tired!"

"Exactly, exactly! That's settled then. What do you two think?" Zhou Yinghao added.

Watching Chen Yang's stunned, exasperated expression, Zhou Yufei couldn't help but laugh. She quickly said, "Mom, Dad, aren't you rushing things? Chen Yang and I have only been dating for a month. How can we discuss marriage so soon?"

As she spoke, a tinge of bitterness welled up in her heart. This man doesn't belong to me at all.

"Only a month?" Peng Ya was somewhat surprised, then waved it off nonchalantly. "What does a month matter? As long as two people are in love, they could get married in a week!"

"Alright, let's talk about this at the end of the year!" Zhou Yufei hastily interjected.

Chen Yang smiled. "I agree with Yufei. Discussing it at the end of the year is more appropriate."

Peng Ya looked helpless, then pulled Zhou Yufei aside to whisper, "Yufei, with a guy like Chen Yang, you can't be foolish. You have to hold onto him, no matter what!"

"Mom, you have more experience than me. You should know that some things are just out of our hands," Zhou Yufei said helplessly.

Peng Ya frowned. "What do you mean? Does he like another girl? Well, for someone as outstanding as him, there must be a lot of people pursuing him! But you can't be discouraged. Press on and carve a path for yourself!"

"But..." Zhou Yufei felt helpless. Chen Yang is a married man...

"But what? Since you were little, you've never been one to shy away from a challenge. I believe you can do it!" Peng Ya said with conviction.

Zhou Yufei glanced at Chen Yang, then subconsciously nodded.

Everyone has the right to pursue their own happiness, right?

「After dinner.」

Several of Zhou Yufei's good friends, having found out she was back, called multiple times, asking her to come out. Left with no choice, Zhou Yufei asked Chen Yang, "I'm leaving tomorrow. Should I take you out to have some fun tonight?"

Since he had nothing better to do, Chen Yang readily agreed.

「Magi Bowling Alley.」

When Zhou Yufei and Chen Yang arrived, three men and two women were already waiting at the entrance.

"Yufei, over here!" a girl with a ponytail, wearing a black knee-length dress, black stockings, and black high heels, waved as she rushed toward Zhou Yufei. The two immediately embraced.

"Xiaoqing, it's been so long!" Zhou Yufei exclaimed, grinning as she hugged her friend.

The girl, Zhao Xiaoqing, pouted. "It's all your fault, leaving lovely Qingqiu Dao to run off to Lingjin City!"

After they parted, Zhao Xiaoqing laughed teasingly. "I heard you called off your arrangement with Sun Hao? Congratulations! You finally got rid of that scumbag!"

"Yeah, I'm finally free of him!" Zhou Yufei replied with an unconscious smile.

At the same time, the others walked over.

"Yufei, congratulations on regaining your freedom!"

"This party is to celebrate you! After bowling, we're not going home until we're drunk!"

A young man in a blue suit, one hand in his pocket and the other fiddling with a lighter, exuded an extraordinary air. He smiled. "Yufei, you know I've been pursuing you for a long time. Now that you're single again, can we finally be together?"

"Haha! Chenfeng is so bold and direct!"

"Get together, get together!"

The crowd began to cheer them on playfully, creating a lighthearted and cheerful atmosphere.

The young man, Li Chenfeng, let a small smile play on his lips as he said earnestly, "Yufei, don't think I'm joking. I'm being very serious!"

"I know! But you're a step too late!" Zhou Yufei blinked, wrapping her arm around Chen Yang's. "Everyone, let me introduce my boyfriend, Chen Yang!"

"What?! Your boyfriend? Holy shit, that was a seamless transition!"

"This guy is your boyfriend?"

At first, everyone had assumed Chen Yang was just one of Zhou Yufei's relatives, so they hadn't paid him much mind. Now, all eyes were fixed on him, carefully sizing him up.

Such an ordinary man. To put it bluntly, he's totally not a match for Zhou Yufei! Many people sighed inwardly. Another prize cabbage has been eaten by a pig.

Zhao Xiaoqing was taken aback. "Yufei, what's going on? How did I not hear a whisper about this? Besides, didn't you just break off your engagement with the Sun Family today?"

Because the day's events at the Zhou Family estate and the investigation into the Sun Family were kept under wraps, the public only knew that the arranged marriage had been altered. They were unaware of any other details.

"Chen Yang and I got together back when I was in Lingjin City," Zhou Yufei said with a smile.

Zhao Xiaoqing nodded, then leaned in close. "Yufei, did this guy trick you? No matter how I look at it, he seems completely unworthy of you."

"Who could possibly trick me?" Zhou Yufei rolled her eyes. "Chen Yang is an excellent person. You can't judge a book by its cover."

"Oh, snap! What should I do, being a step too slow? How about I compete fairly with my friend Chen Yang here?" Li Chenfeng asked with a mocking smile, his eyes flashing with disdain.

Zhou Yufei laughed. "It's no use. You're not my type at all."

Li Chenfeng awkwardly touched his nose. This woman is way too direct. Is she not going to spare my pride at all? A wave of anger subconsciously rose within him.

Zhao Xiaoqing waved her hand dismissively. "Let's drop it. Let's go bowl."

With that, Zhao Xiaoqing took the lead with Zhou Yufei, and the others followed closely behind, leaving Chen Yang trailing at the back.

Li Chenfeng fell into step beside Chen Yang and whispered, "So, how did you and Yufei meet?"

"We work at the same company."

"Oh, just an office worker?" Li Chenfeng laughed, his tone shifting. "Kid, you've seen what kind of family Yufei comes from. I assume you have no objection when I say you're not good enough for her, right?"

"So you're saying you and Yufei are a perfect match?" Chen Yang countered with a smile.

"Of course! My Li Family's influence in Qingqiu Dao is no less than the Zhou Family's. Our families are a perfect match!" Li Chenfeng said proudly, shooting Chen Yang a sidelong glance.

"If that's the case, then why is Yufei my girlfriend?"

Li Chenfeng was speechless.

"Oh, and last night, Yufei's parents even arranged for us to sleep in the same room," Chen Yang continued casually. "I told them it was a bit inappropriate, but they absolutely insisted."

Once again, Li Chenfeng had no response. His face turned a sickly, livid color. Does he really have to flaunt it like that?

"Also, when Yufei was engaged to the Sun Family, why didn't you compete fairly with Sun Hao?" Chen Yang asked with a mocking smile. "Were you afraid he'd tear you to pieces?"

Li Chenfeng was rendered completely speechless.

Chen Yang patted his shoulder and, without another word, strode ahead to catch up with the group.

"You bastard," Li Chenfeng grit his teeth and said coldly. "It seems you'd rather do this the hard way."
