The Humble Family's Daughter Has A Spatial Pocket! novel Chapter 679

Chapter 679: Chapter 610: Zhou Jingwan’s Engagement_1

Yan Wenkai had mostly recovered from the wounds on his face before he returned to the Yan Family with Yan Wentao.

However, when Old Madam Yan and Madam Li saw his arm in a sling, they still asked in concern, "What happened to your arm?"

Yan Wenkai, unconcerned, replied, "I just bumped it a little, nothing serious, it will heal soon." He then hurriedly changed the subject, smiling as he walked over to Yan Wenjie and patted him on the shoulder.

"Second Brother, I heard you’ve gotten engaged, congratulations!"

Yan Wentao also followed with, "Congratulations, Second Brother."

Yan Wenjie responded with a smile, "Thank you."

Sun Family took over the conversation, "Wentao, no need to rush. Now that your Second Brother’s engagement is settled, you’ll be next."

At these words, everyone looked at Yan Wentao with a smile.

Embarrassed by their gaze, Yan Wentao gave a sheepish smile but said nothing.

Afterward, Old Madam Yan started discussing the engagement to the Zhu Family with everyone.

Watching his family cheerful about his Second Brother’s engagement, Yan Wentao’s gaze turned somewhat somber. In the midst of it all, while no one was paying attention, he quietly left the room.

Daohua had already noticed that something was off with her Third Brother. Seeing him leave, she pondered for a moment before swiftly following him, only to find, upon exiting the room, her Third Brother and Eldest Brother standing at the courtyard entrance.

"Eldest Brother... you’ve been in touch with Brother Zhou, have you heard anything about... Zhou Auntie’s situation since they arrived in Beijing?"

Yan Wenxiu looked at Yan Wentao, knowing he was still unable to let go of Zhou Jingwan, and he sighed, "Wentao, listen to your Eldest Brother, forget about Miss Zhou."

Yan Wentao, unwilling to give up so easily, was silent for quite some time before finally taking out his identity token, "Eldest Brother, could you tell Brother Zhou for me that I am now a Fifth-rank Thousand Households, I can give Jingwan a good future."

Yan Wenxiu looked at the identity token in Yan Wentao’s hand, his expression filled with emotion. In his and many others’ eyes, Yan Wentao, who became a Thousand Households before he even reached adulthood, was certainly outstanding, but in the eyes of the Zhou Family, a Thousand Households was nothing consequential.

Yan Wenxiu took the token and personally tied it back around Yan Wentao’s waist, "Miss Zhou is engaged, Wentao, forget her!"

With these words, not only did Yan Wentao stand stunned as if turned to stone, but even Daohua, who just walked over, wore an expression of disbelief.

Daohua quickly approached and asked Yan Wenxiu, "Eldest Brother, is Jingwan really engaged?"

Looking at his siblings who were reluctant to accept the truth, Yan Wenxiu nodded affirmatively, "Chengye wrote to me about it. If you don’t believe it, I still have Chengye’s handwritten letter."

Daohua furrowed her brows, "How could it be so swift, Jingwan has only been in Beijing for a few months?"

Yan Wenxiu glanced at Yan Wentao and steeled his heart, "We can only say that the entire Zhou Family is very satisfied with the person Miss Zhou is to marry, otherwise they wouldn’t have arranged it so quickly."

Daohua, whose thoughts were with her Third Brother, failed to grasp the implications in Yan Wenxiu’s words and immediately said, "Others might agree, but Jingwan would never consent."

Seeing the light in Yan Wentao’s eyes suddenly brighten again, Yan Wenxiu could not help but shoot Daohua a stern look.

Realizing that she should not be giving her Third Brother false hope at this time, and seeing her Eldest Brother’s glare, Daohua hung her head and fell silent.

As the older sister who misspoke, Yan Wenxiu, in his role as the big brother, had to become the bad guy to sever his Third Brother’s emotional ties. He sighed, "Miss Zhou is probably willing as well, for with her character, if she didn’t agree, the engagement would likely not have been settled."

Yan Wentao’s body swayed, thinking of the little girl who used to chase after him calling ’Third Brother’, and his heart twisted in pain. He exerted great effort to suppress the suffering in his heart, managing not to lose his composure in front of Yan Wenxiu and Daohua.
