114: Chapter 114 Destroy it!

"Yanran, this is giving me a chance."

Pei Sili rubbed his forehead, his spirits lifting once again.

Following that, Qi Yanran would occasionally pelt Pei Sili with a deadly triple-question combo.

This caused Pei Sili's emotions to soar to heaven one moment, and plummet into Hell the next.

Only when Pei Sili was questioned to the point of losing the will to live did Qi Yanran feel satisfied.

Who could have guessed that the seemingly quiet and gentle Qi Yanran would have such a personality in private?

Indeed, one cannot judge a person by their appearance.

Inside the inner hall.

Pei Tianrong and Qi Zhongyin had long finished their conversation.

An hour later, Qi Yanran and Pei Sili returned to the inner hall.

Watching the two walking side-by-side, Pei Tianrong carefully scrutinized the changes in them.

But when he saw the bitter expression on Pei Sili's Face, his heart couldn't help but skip a beat.

Could it be that his own Qilin son had failed?

On the other hand, Qi Yanran had a bright smile, and in no way did she look like someone who had failed.

But regardless of the outcome, he couldn't possibly ask about the specifics in front of the Qi father and daughter.

Immediately, the two bowed respectively to Qi Zhongyin and Pei Qingyun.

Afterwards, Qi Zhongyin and Qi Yanran went to the accommodation arranged by the Pei family.

A quaint little courtyard in the forest.

As soon as they entered the courtyard, Qi Zhongyin couldn't wait to ask his daughter what the situation was.

He had seen Pei Sili's expression as well.

But to say that Pei Sili didn't fancy his daughter, he absolutely refused to believe it.

Qi Zhongyin asked curiously, "What do you think of Pei Sili?"

Qi Yanran curled her lips, a bright smile appearing on her Face, "He is very interesting, he is an honest man."

A giant question mark appeared over Qi Zhongyin's head, and he asked with a puzzled Face, "An honest man, interesting?"

He had thought that Qi Yanran might not rate Pei Sili very highly.

His daughter was superior to Pei Sili in all aspects, so he could understand if she had such thoughts.

What the Hell is an "interesting honest man"?

Does his daughter have an interest in Pei Sili?

Qi Yanran smiled and explained, "That's right, Mother said back then that honest men are very interesting."

Qi Zhongyin felt a wave of embarrassment.

Before his wife, Madam Yang, was married, she hadn't had contact with other Young Masters from aristocratic families, and she wasn't just your average eccentric person; she often teased him until he didn't know what to do.

Occasionally, she would also call him interesting.

Now that he thought about it, he seemed to be the "honest man" his wife spoke of.

This made Qi Zhongyin feel like he had suffered ten thousand points of critical damage.

All this time, he had believed that in his wife's heart, he was a dashing, knowledgeable, and talented young man.

It was also due to his own charm that he was able to win the heart of Madam Yang.

Now, from his daughter's mouth, a bloody truth had been revealed.

He, the dignified Head of the Qi family, was actually just an "honest man" in his wife's eyes.

If this got out, where would he put his Face?

However, this also allowed him to see his daughter's true personality clearly.

Growing up, his daughter had always been quiet, so he thought she hadn't inherited his wife's eccentric personality.

Now it seems he was wrong.

He was the only one who had been kept in the dark about everything.

But he still wanted to make one last attempt, looking at his daughter with burning eyes, a hint of hope in his gaze, "Did your mother really say that? Did she ever say what she thought of me?"

Qi Yanran nodded, her crisp voice echoing in Qi Zhongyin's ears, "Mother did say that. However, Mother also said that Father is the most handsome, smartest, and gentlest person in the world."

Upon hearing this, the dark cloud over Qi Zhongyin's head was swept away.

He knew it, how could he possibly be...

However.

He did not notice that while speaking, Qi Yanran blinked three times in a row.

This was a clear sign of lying.

Looking at her father like this, Qi Yanran felt that this lie was worth it.

He now understood his daughter's attitude.

But there was still one crucial question, and that was what Pei Sili's attitude was.

Qi Zhongyin asked, "What is that brat Pei Sili's impression of you?"

Qi Yanran bit her lip slightly, glaring at Qi Zhongyin, "Father, do you have so little confidence in your daughter?"

Qi Zhongyin hurriedly comforted her, "It was Father's mistake. With my Yanran's charm, that silly brat Pei Sili must be completely bewitched."

"Then when do you plan to marry that brat Pei Sili?"

"Father, we haven't even gotten engaged yet? You're already talking about marriage, are you that impatient to marry your daughter off?" Qi Yanran turned her head away, dissatisfied.

Seeing his daughter angry, Qi Zhongyin hurriedly coaxed her again, "It was Father's mistake again."

Qi Yanran was satisfied then, "That's more like it."

Only at this moment did Qi Zhongyin realize that coaxing a daughter is truly difficult.

He truly regretted it back then.

His daughter's personality was even more formidable than his wife's.

It was also at this moment that he deeply understood why Pei Sili had become like this.

If it were him, it would be unimaginable.

Conversely, the scene over at Pei Tianrong's side was completely different.

Pei Tianrong asked, "Sili, what is this girl Qi Yanran like?"

Pei Sili said powerlessly, "She is very good."

Pei Tianrong pressed, "Then what is her impression of you?"

Pei Sili said with a long Face, "I don't know. Father, please don't ask me."

Pei Tianrong's expression was a bit strange, "You really are a blockhead. She has been with you for so long, and you haven't noticed a single thing?"

Pei Sili lowered his head, not daring to look his father in the eye, "No."

Pei Tianrong said, "Then what do you know?"

After a good while, Pei Sili managed to squeeze out a sentence, "Father, I... can we not have this marriage alliance?"

Recalling what had happened over the past hour, a thought couldn't help but form in Pei Sili's mind: women are truly terrifying.

Pei Tianrong flatly refused, "No. I ask you, and you know nothing. Forget it, I will go ask about the Qi family's attitude personally tomorrow. If the Qi family agrees, I will finalize this marriage as soon as possible."

Watching his own Qilin like this, Pei Tianrong felt a bit of frustration that he couldn't live up to expectations.

Could it be that his own son would actually get bullied by a woman?

Upon hearing this, Pei Sili was also on the verge of tears.

In cultivation talent, he was no match for Qi Yanran.

His brain was not as flexible as Qi Yanran's either.

How could he have been so possessed back then?

Who on earth spread the rumor that Qi Yanran had a quiet personality?

In the future, if Qi Yanran were to marry into the family, he was very likely to lose his authority as a husband.

He couldn't beat her in a fight, and he couldn't win an argument against her.

Thinking of his miserable future, he felt that the Medicinal Pill in his mouth no longer tasted good.

Just destroy everything!

Why did he think it was so good before?

Another moment of regretting it back then.

The next day, early in the morning.

After finishing breakfast, Pei Tianrong discussed the two families' marriage with Qi Zhongyin.

After half an hour of discussion, the two families finalized some details.

From this moment on, the marriage alliance between the two families was officially reached.

The Pei family only needed to wait ten months until Qi Yanran completed her sixteenth-year coming-of-age ceremony.

Then Qi Yanran could officially marry into the Pei family.
