Chapter 201: Chapter 201: Maybe Getting Married Soon!
"Second Brother, what is this?"
Yuan Yindi looked curiously at the small box his second brother took out from his chest. It was square, beautifully crafted, but what on earth was inside?
"Open it and see!"
Yuan Wangdi raised his eyebrows with a smile, signaling Yuan Yindi to do it himself.
Of course, Yuan Yindi didn’t hesitate and quickly picked up the small box and opened it.
Inside the box, the item was wrapped in a piece of silk.
Yuan Yindi rolled his eyes again, what’s with all this fancy stuff?
When he uncovered the silk and saw what was inside, Yuan Yindi was dumbfounded.
Inside the box was a jade bangle, bright green and translucent, seemingly with a luminous glow.
"Second Brother, did you take the wrong thing?"
Yuan Yindi looked up at his brother, "Shouldn’t this be for my sister-in-law? Or at least, it’s good for our mother. How does it make sense for a guy like me to wear such a bangle?"
Slap!
Yuan Wangdi directly gave Yuan Yindi a slap, saying, "Are you stupid!"
"This bangle is not for you to wear, it’s for you to give as a gift!"
"You have a sharp mind, so why are you so clueless right now?"
"You’re at this age already, and when I was your age, your sister-in-law had already given birth to Shoucheng. Yet, you don’t even have a wife. Tell me, isn’t that embarrassing?"
"...?!"
Yuan Yindi was speechless. How can these be the same?
But then again, he can’t mess with his second brother!
Yuan Yindi could only silently endure his second brother’s nagging.
"I see you aren’t the type to patiently wait for Mother to find you a wife. Anyway, since you’re going to the Recruitment Hall to recommend yourself, you might have to find a wife on your own. Keep this, and don’t let the girl look down on you!"
"Let me tell you, this thing is sought after by those big families."
"For this item, the third brother and I owe someone a big favor!"
"If you don’t hurry up and find a wife, just wait until we sort you out!"
Yuan Wangdi rambled on, and Yuan Yindi could only listen quietly.
He didn’t have a choice since his second brother liked to use his fists a lot. Generally, if he couldn’t win an argument, he would resort to fists, a lesson Yuan Yindi had learned well.
Only after Yuan Wangdi finished talking did Yuan Yindi awkwardly smile and say, "Well, Second Brother, actually, I might be getting married soon!"
"What?"
"Really?"
Both Yuan Wangdi and Yuan Laidi’s eyes lit up, "Tell us, what’s going on?"
"Yeah, yeah, tell us, what do you mean by ’might be getting married soon’?"
"Do Mom and Dad know?"
Yuan Wangdi and Yuan Laidi were genuinely happy for Yuan Yindi when they heard he might be getting married. After all, Yuan Yindi used to often say he wouldn’t get married until he completed his studies.
"Mom and Dad know!"
"The thing is, I’m not sure what her family thinks yet. I have to meet one of her elders after the New Year to know when we can get married."
Yuan Yindi felt somewhat uncertain inside.
He and Ruan Wan were mutually interested in each other.
But marriage had always been about parental approval and matchmakers’ arrangements.
Of course, the main challenge was that compared to Ruan Wan’s family background, his own origins were not likely to be easily accepted.
Yuan Yindi thought that good things are worth the wait, and it seemed that would likely apply to him.
"Xiao Wu, is your future sister-in-law’s family background very high?"
Yuan Laidi saw Yuan Yindi’s expression and immediately guessed where the issue lay.
