"Actually, I know Yuan Xiang treats me well, but I always worry it’s just a dream, so I dare not believe it."
Zhu Yanyi let out a breath of relief. She glanced at Taishu Yuanxiang, then looked at Zhu Yanli, who was keeping her head down. She walked over and pulled her sister to a seat nearby. "Is it because you lack confidence?"
"I don't really know why. Yuan Xiang’s background is too high. I always feel Cinderella stories don't exist in the real world, so I shouldn't dream like this."
Zhu Yanli sighed, her expression a bit downcast. She certainly had feelings for Taishu Yuanxiang, and they were deep.
Someone once said that once a woman gives herself to a man, she will be carved into her heart. Zhu Yanli didn't know about others, but she knew herself. Her feelings for Taishu Yuanxiang truly began that night they were together. Without that night, if they had just met in daily life, she would likely have just nodded politely and gently. But that night made it impossible for her to remain indifferent.
Plus, Taishu Yuanxiang’s long persistence made her fall deeper. She knew she had fallen in love, but thinking of her status, she dared not get close. So when she proposed marriage, she kept delaying:
"But sometimes, you can't just give up. I’m just an ordinary person. Ordinary people’s feelings are easily moved. He is so outstanding; how could I not be moved? But I always worry it’s a dream. So I thought, if it’s a dream, I’ll enjoy it as long as it lasts. That’s why I didn’t dare take him to meet Mom and Dad."
Taishu Yuanxiang, standing nearby, rubbed her forehead. she finally understood her beloved’s thoughts. No wonder, even though she saw she had feelings for her, she refused every proposal. she had to confine her, but seeing the current effect was good, and thinking of the little life growing inside her, a trace of tenderness appeared in her eyes.
Hearing this, Zhu Yanyi only glanced at Taishu Yuanxiang, then raised an eyebrow at Zhu Yanli. "Sister, you underestimate yourself. If there are few people in this world who can match you, that’s true. In my eyes, Taishu Yuanxiang matching you is barely acceptable."
Zhu Yanli looked up at Zhu Yanyi, wanting to speak, but Zhu Yanyi pressed her hand down. "Listen to me first."
Zhu Yanyi understood her sister’s thoughts. She hadn’t realized her sister still didn’t recognize her own identity and value. So at this moment, Zhu Yanyi decided to give her sister a good talking-to.
"I know your thoughts. You worry you don’t match Taishu Yuanxiang. True, Taishu Yuanxiang is good, the head of Taishu Industry." She glanced at Taishu Yuanxiang.
Taishu Yuanxiang smiled bitterly. Seeing Zhu Yanyi’s expression, she knew what she meant. So what if she was the head of Taishu Industry? In truth, she came from the Jianghu world. As Zhu Yanyi said, Zhu Yanli worried too much. She shouldn’t worry about not matching her; she should worry about her not matching her.
"But that’s all there is to it.
Take economics, for example. He has Taishu Industry, and is indeed very rich, but our family is not poor either.
Even as a new enterprise, we have made a name for ourselves nationwide, and our prospects are very broad. Most importantly, because it’s a new enterprise, it is full of vitality, without many dirty dealings."
Zhu Yanyi picked a grape and handed it to Zhu Yanli. "Look, even the fruits in this Capital Club, which belongs to Taishu Industry, are all from our Azure Sovereign Qingdi. Tell me, what is our family lacking compared to theirs?"
Zhu Yanyi smiled slightly and continued, "Let’s not talk about that. Let’s talk about you two.
Taishu Yuanxiang is good, capable, and famous in the North. But he is thirty-one years old. Even if the old saying goes 'stand firm at thirty,' he is nine years older than you.
You are in your prime youth. Without Taishu Yuanxiang, you would still find a man who loves and cares for you. Maybe even an artist in the same industry, so you might have common topics. Unfortunately, you’ve been snatched by a wolf. Such a spiritual partner with common topics is likely gone."
Yan Aohan, listening nearby, had a strange expression, especially when Zhu Yanyi mentioned Taishu Yuanxiang’s age. He didn’t interrupt. Some accounts were better settled at home; outside, he still needed to give her some face.
"Ani, actually, he is quite good," Zhu Yanli defended Taishu Yuanxiang. "When I hit a bottleneck in inspiration, he guides me. He also plays the piano very well."
"Fine, you haven’t even married yet, and your arm is already turning outward," Zhu Yanyi said with a helpless expression.
"Also, regarding status and backing, Sister, have you forgotten? You are my sister. I, Zhu Yanyi, may not have much else, but who in the Capital doesn’t know the Little Divine Doctor? Who dares not give me face? You, as my sister, think you don’t match others? Only others don’t match you."
Zhu Yanyi pursed her lips, looking dissatisfied. "Besides, if it weren’t for Taishu Yuanxiang, if others pursued you, I would have to investigate them thoroughly to ensure they had no ulterior motives."
Taishu Yuanxiang heard this and showed a trace of surprise. He had expected Zhu Yanyi to be extraordinary, but he didn’t expect her to be the legendary Little Divine Doctor. No wonder Yan Aohan valued her so much.
However, he had to admit that as the Little Divine Doctor, in all of Huaxia, except for Yan Aohan, others indeed didn’t match her.
The existence of the Little Divine Doctor was not just about outstanding medical skills, but also her comprehensive ability in medicine. Such a person could not marry any ordinary person or ordinary family, because an ordinary person or family simply couldn’t protect someone like the Little Divine Doctor. That meant, whoever married the Little Divine Doctor must have very strong personal and family strength.
Such people might not be few, but those who truly fit were rare. It could be said that, at present, only Yan Aohan met all the conditions.
Yan Aohan’s existence itself was defying heaven. No one knew how much ability Yan Aohan had; even Taishu Yuanxiang couldn’t investigate it. But Yan Aohan rarely interfered in matters.
The Yan family was clearly the number one family in the Capital, yet very low-key. Plus, Yan Aohan himself had the complete trust of the higher-ups in Huaxia. Naturally, Zhu Yanyi being with him would be agreed upon by everyone in all aspects.
