"Making trouble is actually a good thing! Whenever someone stirs things up, it forces people to make decisions." Cecilia Gu rested her chin in her hand and said, "This really needs to end. Ethan and Violet have been dragging things out for over three years—it's time to give everyone an answer. If Jane Zhang hadn’t pushed a little, Ethan might never speak up."
Wendy laughed and said, "Mrs. Yin, you really worry yourself sick over Ethan and Violet."
Cecilia Gu smiled, "Yeah, if I don’t worry about them, who will? As Mrs. Yin, that’s my job now. I’ll watch Nora, you go enjoy some alone time with Alex!"
Wendy blushed, "Mrs. Yin!"
Cecilia Gu waved her hand, shooing Wendy away. "Go on, go on! Charles will be back soon and we need to check Nora’s homework from the past few days. Don’t just stand here."
Wendy finally said, "Alright, I’ll head back then."
Nora watched Wendy leave, looking utterly defeated.
Oh, no!
If Daddy comes home, I’m doomed!
Daddy and Mommy are definitely going to grill me!
Charles Yin poured two glasses of wine, handing one to Ethan Yin. He raised his eyebrows, "Are you sure you don’t need anything from me?"
Ethan Yin took the glass, glancing nervously at Charles Yin. "Big brother, I..."
Charles Yin slowly sipped his wine, waiting for Ethan Yin to continue.
"Bro, honestly, I’m not in a rush to get married. I don’t need to have kids right now, and I don’t have to inherit the family business yet." Ethan Yin gave a bitter smile. "But dragging things out isn’t good either."
"Not satisfied with Violet Wei?" Charles Yin looked at Ethan Yin with deep meaning. "Or are you waiting for someone else?"
Just one look from Charles Yin was enough to make Ethan Yin’s heart race with anxiety!
"No!" Ethan Yin blurted out. "It’s just... my parents’ marriage hurt me. If marriage means that kind of pain, I’d rather not get married at all."
Charles Yin smiled, "And? Any other reasons?"
Ethan Yin slumped his shoulders, "Bro, maybe you’re right. Maybe I hesitate because Violet isn’t good enough, or maybe she’s just not quite what I’m looking for."
"So? Do you like someone like Jane Zhang?" Charles Yin raised his brows with a smile. "Or someone like your sister-in-law, Cecilia?"
