During lunch, the restaurant was very quiet, and no one spoke because they didn't know what to say to cheer up the atmosphere.

Geng Ruijie knew that Ni Ya was unhappy, and she was also helpless.

Li Chen sat next to Geng Ruijie. After all, he was now considered a member of the Geng family, so naturally they sat and ate together.

In front of the two elders of the Wang family, Ni Ya would not drive Li Chen away.

The two elders of the Wang family looked at the nobility displayed by Li Chen and sighed in their hearts. They could only blame their daughter for not being lucky enough to enjoy this man's favor.

It's good that he and Geng Ruijie are together, at least the wealth and wealth will not fall into the hands of outsiders. This kind of kinship relationship goes back and forth, and they are still one family.

"I'll bring the desserts."

Ni Ya stood up, looked at Geng Ruijie, and called, "Ruijie, come and help me."

"OK."

Geng Ruijie stood up and followed Ni Ya into the kitchen. She knew that Ni Ya had something to say to her.

Ni Ya opened the oven, put the baking sheet on the countertop, picked up the tongs and put the desserts into the tray one by one.

"Do you know why mom asked you to come in?"

"I know, Mom has something to tell me."

Geng Ruijie looked at Ni Ya and said, "Mom, just say it and I'll listen."

"well……"

Ni Ya sighed, "You are not even twenty yet and you are going to be Li Chen's wife. You don't know how to cook or do housework, and you can't even take care of yourself. How can you take care of a small family?"

If a man works hard outside for a day and comes home to a wife who knows nothing, he will get tired after a long time.

What's more, you are still in college now. Even if you get married, you still have to go to school. It means that the two of you will be separated in two places. Do you think this is really the life you want? "

"Mom, I..."

Geng Ruijie really didn't think that much.

"Mom thought about this problem and came up with a compromise."

Ni Ya raised her hand and held Geng Ruijie's shoulder, "You and Li Chen will get engaged first, and then get married after you graduate from college. If you still want to marry him then, get a marriage certificate."

"In these... four years, a lot of things will happen. I'm afraid..."

Geng Ruijie did not expect that Ni Ya would propose to get engaged first. What if Li Chen no longer wants to marry her after four years?

Many unmarried couples broke up while walking, and she didn't want that.

"What are you afraid of? Isn't the Geng family enough to give you the confidence? If Li Chen really wants to be responsible for you, whether it is now or four years later."

Ni Ya didn't want Geng Ruijie to get married at a young age. Four years would allow her to grow up.

"But what if Li Chen meets a woman who makes his heart beat in the past four years?"

Geng Ruijie knew that there was a big difference between her and Li Chen. If a charming woman appeared one day and happened to attract Li Chen, where would she go?

"If he is so easily attracted to women, then he is not worthy of your marriage."

Ni Ya shook her head, "Rui Jie, you are so confused, why did you marry into the Li family? Although the two families have similar family backgrounds, if you were married, the Geng family would not be able to interfere and say anything."

"Mom, I believe Li Chen will treat me well. I don't want to squeeze out four years and add variables to this marriage."

Now that Geng Ruijie had made up her mind, she didn't want to waver anymore.

She will go to college for four years, but she can discuss with Li Chen how to overcome the four years of separation.

"Well, since you said so, I won't interfere with your decision."

Ni Ya originally suggested that Geng Ruijie get engaged first. Since Geng Ruijie didn't want to, then forget it.

"Thank you, Mom."

Geng Ruijie reached out and hugged Ni Ya, "I'm sorry, I should have told you from the beginning. But I was afraid that you would object, so I didn't dare to say it."

"Once a woman falls in love with a man, she is like a moth to the flame. How could mom not understand this truth?"

Ni Ya sighed softly. She was attracted to Geng Chengyu back then. Even though she knew that his wife had passed away and he had a son, she still wanted to marry him without hesitation.

Geng Ruijie is a little better than her. At least Li Chen doesn't have a child to tie him down. In the future, if Geng Ruijie gives birth to a child, he will focus on their mother and son.

Alas, I didn’t expect that both mother and daughter would fall in love with a widower. She lived happily under the care of Geng Chengyu. Will Geng Ruijie be happy?

"Mom, you don't have to worry about me. I'm an adult and can think rationally."

Geng Ruijie smiled and said, "No matter what happens in the future, at least I have captured my happiness right now."

"good."

Ni Ya nodded, "Take the initiative to fight for what you want, so that you won't leave any regrets."

She handed the tray to Geng Ruijie's hand and said, "Take it out for everyone to eat."

"OK."

Geng Ruijie carried the tray to the restaurant, placed the desserts on the dining table, and sat next to Li Chen. She knew that this time Ni Ya had truly accepted her decision.

Ni Ya cut the fruit and came out with the fruit plate, with a forced smile on her face.

Tomorrow the Geng family will hold two weddings at the same time, so she can't always be black-faced.

"Everyone, hurry up and eat the dessert while it's hot. The fruit was picked from the tree in the morning and is fresh."

With Niya's greeting, the atmosphere in the restaurant became slightly better.

…

After lunch, the elders all went to take a lunch break, while a few juniors made tea and chatted in the garden.

"Brother Li, I never thought we would become a family."

Long Haoxuan didn't expect that Li Chen would be with Geng Ruijie, which was quite unexpected. They can be called an uncle and a little loli.

Li Chen turned his head and looked in Geng Ruijie's direction, "I didn't know that fate would arrange it this way. I thought maybe Anna was the one who pulled the strings and brought Geng Ruijie to me. Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence that my lost ring would be stolen?

Rui Jie picked it up."

The three women sat on the other side playing with the two babies. The topics did not interfere with each other and they could also talk about what was on their mind.

"Li Chen, I have something to say first."

In order to protect Geng Ruijie, Geng Zheliang said to Li Chen, "I don't care what the status of your previous marriage was. Since you want to marry Ruijie, you must treat her wholeheartedly.

I don’t care what you do with your original wedding ring, but it can no longer appear in your marriage with Rui Jie. You can think about Anna Wang in your heart, but it can’t have a physical object in your future life.

Women are very sensitive. She may say she doesn't mind once or twice, but in fact, as time goes by, she will become more and more concerned about it, and then she will get into trouble in all kinds of ways."

What he said was rude but not rude. Since we are a family, there is no need to beat around the bush.

"I see."

Li Chen raised his hand and pinched the ring on the chain. He would put the ring in Wang Anna's tomb. Since it was a pair of rings, they should be kept together in pairs.

He will try to let go of some feelings.
