Chapter 1920: Happy to Fool Each Other

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

For the next few days, Ye Qianqian ran around with Shen Zhilie.

Shen Zhilie rushed home for the family dinner on the eve of the Lunar New Year, but he disappeared once again the next day.

On the first and the third day of the New Year, Shen Zhilie brought Ye Qianqian to various places to play.

On the second and fourth day of the New Year, he took her all over the place to visit people.

Whenever he managed to catch ahold of someone, he would say, “This is my fiance. We’re about to get married. Make sure you remember to give us our red packet!”

Ye Qianqian found it embarrassing but also quite funny and laughable when he did that.

After the fifth day of the New Year, Shen Zhilie already couldn’t wait to return to Yun Town with Ye Qianqian.

Once they arrived home, Shen Zhilie carried their luggage into the house and yelled out, “Uncle, we’re back.”

Ye Zhenhua was attending to guests in his house, and the neighbors were in the middle of a lively conversation when they heard Shen Zhilie’s calls. Everyone looked over.

Ye Zhenhua smiled and said, “My daughter’s back.”

After Ye Zhenhua placed his teacup down, he walked toward them.

Shen Zhilie entered through the door while Ye Qianqian followed closely behind him. She said, “Dad, why didn’t you close the door? What if someone came into the house?”

Subsequently, they entered the living room and then noticed that all of their uncles were present.

After Ye Qianqian addressed them, she pulled Shen Zhilie over and introduced him to them, saying, “This is my boyfriend. His name is Shen Zhilie. You can just call him Shen.”

“Oh, Shen.”

“Qianqian’s a big girl now, and she even has a boyfriend. He’s so handsome!”

“Qianqian is also a beauty, so it’s only right that her boyfriend is so handsome.”

Ye Qianqian’s uncles spoke in a dialect, and Ye Qianqian smiled when she heard them talk. She then carried her luggage inside and returned to her own room.

Ye Zhenhua made a cup of tea for Shen Zhilie before asking, “Why did you return here so soon? I thought you guys weren’t going to come back.”

Shen Zhilie laughed rather bashfully and said, “Qqianqian has to return to work in a few days, so we came home to have fun for a few days and pay you a visit.” As he spoke, he suddenly seemed to recall something, and he continued, saying, “My dad told me to bring something for you. I’ll go fetch it.”

Shen Longyue wasn’t able to come with them, as there was too much for him to attend to before the New Year. Thus, he specifically instructed Shen Zhilie to bring Ye Zhenhua some tobacco and alcohol, as well as buy him an antique thumb ring along the way.

Ye Zhenhua wasn’t interested in the tobacco and alcohol, but he was interested in the thumb ring.

Taking it over, he inspected it for a moment before saying, “This is really nice. Judging from the quality of the jade, this isn’t cheap.”

Ye Zhenhua had been puffing on the tobacco, and he now snuffed it out and said, “Why are you so formal? We’ll be one family sooner or later. I have yet to pay your family a visit.”

Shen Zhilie nodded his head in agreement and said, “We will be one family sooner or later. By the way, Uncle, the reason why I cam here was to tell you that... Qianqian and I are getting married.”

When Ye Zhenhua heard this, he chuckled. “Didn’t you tell me about this already?”

Shen Zhilie exclaimed and said, “Did I? Why don’t I remember that?”

“You did. You already told me about this a few days ago, and you said it again yesterday. Now, you bring it up again today. That’s three times already.” Ye Zhenhua laughed and shook his head. “You’re young, and yet you’re already so absentminded?”

Shen Zhilie felt slightly embarrassed, and he looked toward all the uncles before saying, “Uncle, how should I address them all?”

“This is your sixth grand uncle. This is...”

One after another, Ye Zhenhua introduced them to Shen Zhilie, but it was somewhat difficult to communicate with them. Few of the people from the older generation were fluent in Mandarin. Most only knew a few words or phrases.

When Shen Zhilie heard them talk, he largely had to guess and pretend to know what they meant. But, fortunately, he still managed to pull through.

To sum up, everyone was pretty happy fooling each other into believing that they understood what the other person said.
