Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Liu Shimei didn’t expect her topic to shift so quickly. Liang Sheng was taken aback for a moment and then chuckled, “You, young lady, are even concerned about your uncle’s marriage now.”
He was in a tough spot!
Although the elders in the family didn’t pressure him to get married, their att.i.tude had made him extremely uncomfortable.
And now, his niece was bringing up the topic!
“It’s not meddling; it’s caring,” Liu Shimei corrected his choice of words, smiling. “I care about you.”
Liang Sheng helplessly said, “Do you think I can’t see through it? Were my sisters-in-law trying to persuade you to talk to me?”
Liu Shimei chuckled lightly and said, “It’s not about being a mediator. Actually, I believe marriage should be a matter of fate. I don’t advocate the traditional arranged marriages. I just wanted to ask, have you ever considered marriage, Seventh Uncle? Is there a girl he likes?”
Upon hearing her question, Liang Sheng was taken aback, and a hint of unease appeared on his face.
Liu Shimei thought to herself, ‘This is interesting!’
She had intentionally probed the topic. She had sensed from Zhang Miaoren that she might have feelings for Liang Sheng, but due to their social status, she kept her emotions suppressed.
But what about Liang Sheng?
She continued, “In my opinion, if Seventh Uncle is unwilling to accept arranged marriages and avoids all kinds of matchmaking events, you probably… have someone in your heart, right?”
Liang Sheng let out a sigh and said, “Having someone in my heart, yet being unable to pursue it, what’s the use? You, focus on your own affairs, don’t worry about your seniors’ marriages, okay?”
“Yes, you’re my senior, but Seventh Uncle is only a few years older than me!” Liu Shimei pouted playfully.
In her heart, she thought, ‘In my past life, I was much older than you. At 20 years old, you really are just a kid in my eyes!’
However, from Liang Sheng’s words, it was evident: he truly liked a girl!
So, who was this girl?
She asked again, “Who is the girl you like, Seventh Uncle?”
It couldn’t be Zhang Miaozhen, could it?
If they were in love but couldn’t be together due to political reasons, how unfortunate that would be!
But Liang Sheng didn’t intend to tell her. He said, “Don’t worry about it. Since I know it’s impossible, I won’t tell you who she is. I don’t want to tarnish her reputation and cause trouble for her. I don’t benefit from it either!”
Liu Shimei pursed her lips.
She probably understood this feeling: liking someone was her own business, not theirs.
If the other person also liked her, they would definitely not let it go. But if they knew it was impossible, forcing it would bring suffering to both sides and harm the other person!
Therefore, Liang Sheng had this kind of awareness. It showed that he was indeed a very reliable person!
But without asking clearly, her heart felt like it was being scratched by a little cat. She gritted her teeth and said, “Then Seventh Uncle, tell me her last name at least?”
Due to the family’s influence, the Liang family was very strict, but they were all very gentle with women. Liang Sheng was especially fond of his niece. Seeing her persistent look, he helplessly smiled and said, “Even if I tell you, you won’t guess it. Her last name is…”
As he spoke, his smile faded a bit, and he said, “Du!”
Liu Shimei,”!!!”
She widened her eyes: it wasn’t Zhang Miaozhen!
Poor Zhang Miaozhen!
Liang Sheng stopped at the entrance of the guest courtyard and said, “Alright, we’re at the guest courtyard now. I won’t go in. You should hurry in.”
Liu Shimei felt a pang in her heart, but she also knew it wasn’t appropriate to ask more. She bid farewell to Liang Sheng and entered the guest courtyard.
Oh, Miaozhen, matters of the heart are really unpredictable!
She sighed and walked into the bedroom.
Huangfu Lingyao had been waiting anxiously!
“Wife, why did you take so long to come and see me?”
