Chapter 139 Conversation

Faced with An Keke's confession, An Yuan and Yan An both thought it necessary to have a good talk with her.

"Are you really not planning to marry Zhang Bowen?" An Yuan asked.

"Yeah." An Keke nodded vigorously.

"Let's not talk about Bowen for now. How much do you know about your current boyfriend He Zhining?"

"He makes great coffee, he can play the piano, he's very caring, he always makes me laugh, he's very nice to me." An Keke's eyes were bright and her voice was full of joy when she described her boyfriend. But her description seemed too vague to An Yuan and Yan An. She was really young and carefree, An Yuan thought.

"Isn't he handsome too?"

An Keke smiled, "Of course. Aunt, you haven't met him. If you had met him, you would even wonder why there is such a man in the world, and why you only met such a man now." She winked at An Yuan, "I know uncle is very handsome, but I bet that you will also be a little shaken when you see Xiao He. I'm sorry, uncle." She pointed with her fingers mischievously, "Of course you will be a little shaken."

"Hearing what you said, it seems like you have met such a great and handsome guy."

"Yes!"

"And he's in love with you too?"

"Yes, I wonder every day if I am dreaming."

"Are you sure he's not in love with the label of the eldest daughter of the An family, but with you, An Keke?"

"I am sure."

"Keke, apart from Zhang Bowen, how many boyfriends have you had in the past? I mean the kind that you were in a serious relationship with."

"Two, oh, three."

"Keke, I'm an experienced person. Let me ask you, every time you fall in love, do you feel..."

"Aunt, I know what you are going to say. This time is really different." An Keke looked at An Yuan and said, "I have indeed been in love several times, but this time is different from the past. I know exactly what this feeling is. He Zhining is the one I am looking for."

Yan An spoke up: "Keke, you are still young."

"Uncle, I am already an adult in my twenties. I know what I am doing."

"Then let's talk about practical issues." An Yuan said, "How much is your current monthly rent?"

"A little over ten thousand. I moved to a pretty cheap place and settled down. I also bought some antique furniture. Aunt, come over and visit me tomorrow if you're free."

"Well, after deducting the rent, how much do you spend in a month? He Zhining is a barista, how much does he earn in a month? Big brother has already suspended all your credit cards, how long can you last with this little money? Can He Zhining support you?"

"I don't want him to support me." An Keke said, "I've made up my mind. I want to find a job and make money on my own."

"Oh. Do you know how much the young lady who has been working from 9 to 5 in your uncle's office for two years earns per month? Her salary can't even cover your rent."

"It doesn't matter if you make less at the beginning, your salary will increase after you get promoted."

An Yuan shook her head: "What is the price of promotion? Nine to five is just a broad term. Most of the time, if you want to make a career in the workplace, you often have to pay with your time and sweat. My best friend is the same age as me, and it is considered early to get off work at 9 o'clock in the evening, and she often has to work overtime on Saturdays and Sundays. Do you know what this means? You and He Zhining may not have a chance to talk all day, your youth will be consumed in repetitive work, and you will only feel tired when you go home at night. You basically won't have much time to enjoy love and romance. This is the life of ordinary people."

"I……"

"From what we know so far, He Zhining is from another place and he doesn't have a house here. His salary can't even afford the small coat you're wearing now. He Zhining would have to work for 20 years without eating or drinking to afford the silver Porsche you drive in Beijing."

An Keke puffed up her lips. She wanted to refute An Yuan, but she couldn't find any ammunition to fight back. She was silent for a while and said, "Aunt, everyone is against me and He Zhining. I thought at least you would support me."

"I'm telling you about the practical situation you have to consider."

"Aunt, but didn't you also go to your uncle who was penniless at that time? Even Aunt broke up with Grandpa and the others because of this. You are very happy now!"

An Yuan was speechless for a moment, and Yan An gently held her hand to comfort her. Yan An said softly: "It is not easy for your aunt to break up with the family. The price to pay is much greater than you think now. That's why I made up my mind to make your aunt happy."

"He Zhining and I can be like my aunt and uncle! I'm not afraid of hardship!"

"Your uncle and I have known each other since college. We have been dating for several years and know each other inside out. I chose Yan An based on my understanding of what kind of person he is." An Yuan said, "But you and He Zhining have only known each other for two months."

"Two months is enough to see clearly about a person!"

An Yuan shook her head. "That's definitely not enough. Keke, you lived too well in the past, and everything went smoothly. Auntie asks you a question. In the past twenty years or so, have you ever encountered even one setback that really made you suffer?"

An Keke thought about it and said, "Does failing a course in college count?" She glanced at An Yuan's eyes and added, "I didn't find the jewelry I wanted at the auction."

“…”

"Okay, aunt." An Keke smiled, "I'll listen to you."

"You want to go home and not run away from marriage?"

"Who said I want to go back and get married?" An Keke said seriously, "Since two months is too short, I will spend more time with He Zhining. Time will prove everything."

Yan An coughed and said, "I want to remind you that your fiancé Zhang Bowen has followed you here."

"What? I've already broken up with him! How come he doesn't understand what I'm saying?"

"Zhang Bowen is living in Wei Hongzhuo's house now. You see, why don't you find a time for the two of you to meet and have a good talk."

"I have made my words very clear to him. There is nothing more to discuss."

"Uncle can see that Bowen likes you very much and he is sincere to you."

"But I don't have any feelings for him." An Keke lowered her head and played with her sleeves. "Everyone says that Bowen is very good, and I know that. Among the young men of similar age in this circle, Bowen is the most suitable for me. He is very well-behaved and gentle, and he is also very handsome. We have known each other since childhood. If it weren't for He Zhining, I would have married him."

"My uncle thinks that since you are already talking about marriage, you shouldn't be so frivolous. At least give each other a chance."

"I know, uncle. Can you comfort Bowen?" An Keke said softly, "I am really sorry for him. But people's emotions are uncontrollable. Instead of getting divorced after marriage, it is better to break it off now."

An Keke left the Yan family.

Before leaving, she turned to An Yuan and said, "Aunt, in fact, all the younger generations in our family admire you very much. Although dad and grandpa hardly mention you, in the eyes of our generation, you are our goddess forever."

An Yuan stared at An Keke's receding back in a trance. An Keke's words disturbed her mind. Could it be that her behavior led to An Keke's escape from marriage today? What would her father and elder brother think? She thought of her deceased mother again, and her heart was filled with bitterness. At this time, a warm, dry and large hand grasped her hand, and she turned to look at Yan An. "This is not your fault." Yan An said, his voice was as gentle and calm as always, which made her feel at ease.

"Um."

"People from the parliament?" Xiao Zhen said.

"Yes." Captain Ban said, "Although I don't know what planet He Zhining is from, he is definitely an alien from the parliament camp."

"This matter can't be related to the struggle between the camps!"

"Probably not." Mr. Cat said calmly, "If there is any conflict, I will let you know."

"are you sure?"

"Sure, unless these people can do something that is hidden from the eyes of the Overwatch."

"Hmm." Xiao Zhen nodded. On his desk were several large boxes of the latest toy models, two of which were limited editions. This was a gift from An Keke. "I've never met this sister Keke, but since I've accepted her gift, I'll fulfill my responsibility as a cousin and check it for her."

"Really? I think you just want to watch the fun."

"I'm really curious." Xiao Zhen said, "Then let's go and see who this alien who captured Cousin Coco's heart is."

The Thousand Faces Cafe is located on a quiet street, with old houses scattered along the roadside and elegant gardens shaded by sycamore trees.

When you push open the door of the cafe, the pleasant piano music like clear water is flowing inside.

A man was sitting at the piano and playing.

Although Xiao Zhen had not been in the host Yan Zhen's body for a long time, he had basically understood the human aesthetic. When he saw this man for the first time, he knew he was He Zhining.

The aesthetics of human facial features are actually quite similar. There is a subtle proportion between organs. Generally speaking, the proportions of facial features of beautiful people are always similar, but the temperaments of people are very different. The facial features of He Zhining in front of him are of course absolutely in line with human aesthetics. His unique good looks lie in his temperament. Xiaozhen has seen many handsome Homo sapiens men. Boss Han's face under the optical filter can be called a peerless beauty, but his speech and behavior are too exaggerated. President Wei Wei Hongzhuo is handsome and steady, but his temperament is too high and mighty. The big star Ren Anzhi is handsome and extraordinary, but he has a kind of untouchable distance.

He Zhining is different from them. He is just the right kind of handsome. He doesn't have a deliberately distant look or a deliberately flattering smile. His handsomeness is the intimacy of smiling at you when you are beside him, and the warmth that calms all the anxiety. Xiaozhen understood what An Keke had just described. He is the gentle prince that all girls have dreamed of. He only needs to look at him and smile slightly to make the girls fall in love with him.

This is not a miracle of optical filters, nor is it the result of acquired transformation, but it is He Zhining's natural and perfect appearance and temperament that have created such unparalleled charm.

Well, Zhang Bowen, you lost miserably. There is basically no hope.

Xiao Zhen found a small table and sat down, and Mr. Cat jumped onto another chair. Captain Ban in the backpack wanted to stick his head out, but Xiao Zhen held him down with one hand.

"Why won't you let me out!" the chicken protested.

Because I'm tired of the endless repetition of "Why is there a chicken here?" Xiao Zhen zipped up his pants expressionlessly.

Seeing a cat sitting upright on a chair, several customers sitting nearby immediately looked at it and laughed. Xiao Zhen noticed that most of the customers in this coffee shop were female, and most of them were staring at He Zhining intently. It seemed that there were indeed quite a few female fans who were attracted by him.

After explaining everything to the clerk at the counter, Xiaozhen returned to her seat.

After the song was finished, He Zhining came over soon.

"Excuse me, are you looking for me?" He looked at Xiaozhen and Mr. Cat at the table with curiosity in his eyes.

This guy not only has a bad face, but also a bad voice. His voice is deep and pleasant, very attractive . Just listening to his voice is enough to make girls scream.

"I recognize you." Xiao Zhen said, "You once seduced my sister's homeroom teacher."

"..." He Zhining sat down, "What did you say?"

"Don't try to deny it. I saw you trying to seduce Yan Zhu's homeroom teacher with my own eyes. Later, Miss Bai Yinshuang stopped you in time."

Mr. Cat said, "Hmm? Is it him?"

"Yes, it's him."

"Alts?" He Zhining looked at Mr. Cat in surprise.

"Well, he's from Alte. Don't change the subject."

He Zhining said: "So, classmate, are you from the Legion?"

"I am not."

"That doesn't matter. I'm sorry about what happened to Mr. Huang. But that was a mission assigned by the Chamber of Commerce, and I had to go and complete it. After being stopped by Miss Bai Yinshuang, we haven't had any contact since then. I'm also very happy that it didn't work out. Say thank you to Miss Bai Yinshuang for me."

A perfect answer. But I didn't go to him today to settle old scores in the election campaign with Yan Zhu.

"I'm not here for Teacher Huang."

"oh?"

Xiao Zhen said bluntly: "An Keke."

"ah?"

"An Keke is my cousin."

"Oh." He Zhining smiled. His smile was really beautiful, enough to make the hearts of the girls facing him explode. Xiao Zhen heard the amazed exclamations of the female guests next to him. Unfortunately, Xiao Zhen was not a girl.

"An Keke is my cousin, are you dating her?"

"We are planning to get married."

"What?"

"Yes, you will be my younger brother from now on." He Zhining smiled happily.

Who is your brother!

"What if I say it and our whole family disagrees?"

"It's okay. As long as An Keke is willing to marry me." He Zhining said with a smile, "I will definitely be a good brother-in-law."

Don't just call yourself the brother-in-law for your own sake!

Xiao Zhen decided to put some pressure on him: "In fact, cousin Keke's parents all disagree. They will definitely stop this marriage."

"Oh, Coco told me."

"Also, my cousin Coco has a fiancé." Xiao Zhen said, "This fiancé has already followed her here."

"I see. But I don't think it's a big problem."
