No matter how much I like you, it is against my upbringing to be inextricably related to an attached man. Even if youre still unmarried, and only have a girlfriend or fiance. Even if you dont have any feelings for the other party because it was an arranged married by your family, I cant continue being a.s.sociated with you in a relations.h.i.+p that goes beyond friends.h.i.+p.

It wasnt that they couldnt continue to keep in contact, it was just that their interactions couldnt go beyond the boundaries of friends.h.i.+p.

If Tan Mo was here, she would be able to understand what Yuan Keqing meant.

It would mean that there was no more chance if they were to stop being a.s.sociated with each other.

When maintaining an ambiguous relations.h.i.+p with Wei Keli under the pretext of friends.h.i.+p, Yuan Keqing could easily act innocent when confronted by his upset girlfriend or fiance.

She could easily claim that their friends.h.i.+p was purely platonic and the other party had misunderstood.

And that she had never thought of trying to be with Wei Keli, what more, ruining their relations.h.i.+p.

It makes it the other partys fault if they continued to hara.s.s her.

When that time comes, Wei Keli would only feel even more sorry for Yuan Keqing, and think that his girlfriend was creating a fuss for no reason.

To begin, the two of them didnt have many feelings for each other. How well could things end for them?

As to the threat from a wife?

How could Yuan Keqing let Wei Keli step into a marriage?

She would have made Wei Keli break up before they even get married.

Just as how Yuan Keqing did in her previous life.

Only Wei Keli would be deeply moved by Yuan Keqings words.

Wei Keli was still holding onto Yuan Keqings hand tightly. Keqing, youre so much better than Tan Mo. She doesnt have the slightest of your integrity.

Otherwise, how could she hook up with Wei Zhiqian while leaving him hanging?

Keqing, its my fault. I like you, but I couldnt tell you because of Tan Mo. Wei Keli had considered carefully before saying this.

He was clear about his current circ.u.mstances. He really didnt have much status in the Wei family.

He didnt know when he would be able to come back from working in Nacheng.

He couldnt form another marriage alliance thats comparable to the one with the Tan family.

He didnt have any status or real power in the Wei family.

Not to mention, anyone who caught the eye of his parents or himself might not be satisfied with him.

Wei Keli was quite self-aware at the moment.

It seemed that Yuan Keqing was still unaware of his situation in the Wei family.

However, from his point of view, Yuan Keqing was deeply in love with him. So even if she knew the truth, she wouldnt mind it.

Yuan Keqing wasnt like Tan Mo.

And the Yuan family was doing quite well currently.

Although it couldnt compare to the Tan family, it would already be a miracle for Wei Keli to be able to form a marriage alliance with them.

With his current circ.u.mstances, Wei Keli knew that he had to grab hold of Yuan Keqing now.

It would be difficult to find such a good opportunity and such a suitable person in the future if he were to pa.s.s on Yuan Keqing.

Moreover, he could escape from having to work in Nacheng if he had the support of the Yuan family.

Didnt Old Madam Wei say that he could come back and start his own business?

He could definitely return to B city and develop well with the resources from both the Yuan family and his parents.

It wouldnt matter whether he had support and resources from the Wei family.

After all, his parents a.s.sets didnt belong to the Wei family, so technically, he wasnt using the Wei Familys a.s.sets.

With this thought in mind, Wei Keli tightened his grip on Yuan Keqings hand.

Wei Keli spoke with utmost sincereness. Its just that, I didnt know that you felt the same towards me. In my heart, you are a very gentle girl who understands me best. Your gentleness, thoughtfulness, and your encouragements made me fall for you. But because of Tan Mo, I cant express my feelings for you,

I could only harbor these feelings for you secretly. Hiding under the disguise of a friends.h.i.+p to get closer to you, yet holding myself back from confessing my feelings to you, Wei Keli said.

Yuan Keqings heart beat faster and faster when she heard that.

It turned out that Wei Keli had always been secretly in love with her.

Yuan Keqings vanity was greatly satisfied when finding out that there were people like Wei Keli who was secretly in love with her.

Yuan Keqing couldnt help but feel angry. Tan Mo was the one who had been hindering them all this time.

Otherwise, she would have gotten together with Wei Keli a long time ago.

Wei Keli gently stroked the back of Yuan Keqings hand with his thumb and said, Now that the shackles because of Tan Mo are gone, I can finally say it.

Keqing, lets be together, Wei Keli said affectionately. Apart from you, I dont want to marry anyone else.

Brother Keli

The Tan family was completely unaware of how Yuan Keqing arrogantly thought that she had defeated Tan Mo and believed that Wei Keli was always in love with her.

Wei Keli told Wei Zhijian and Li Xiangrong about his relations.h.i.+p with Yuan Keqing and his plans.

After hearing him out, Wei Zhijian and Li Xiangrong realized that their son wasnt utterly hopeless.

He had done a wonderful job this time.

In the past, with Tan Mo around, Li Xiangrong was very unhappy with Yuan Keqing because she had always chased after Wei Keli.

At the same time, she could tell that Yuan Keqing wasnt a simple girl.

Thus, she also paid attention to the Yuan family.

But later, the Yuan family also started to become more reputable.

Li Xiangrong also knew their business was doing well.

Although she still didnt like a scheming Yuan Keqing, she couldnt pin her hopes on Tan Mo anymore.

With Wei Kelis current situation, they didnt have many options.

They only have Yuan Keqing who willingly stepped up as a choice.

They couldnt afford to miss the boat and had to hold on to her tightly.

So what if she was scheming?

After all, she was young and inexperienced in the ways and dealings of the world.

Li Wanrong was confident that she would be able to deal with Yuan Keqing and keep her in check.

Didnt Yuan Keqing have feelings for Wei Keli since she was young?

Now that she finally got what she wanted, she should sacrifice a little more for her love.

Other than Wei Kelis family, no one else in the Wei family knew that Wei Keli had set his sights on the Yuan family.

The Tan family, Wei Mingwens family, and the two elders had gathered in the dining room of the Wei Manor, completely unaware of this.

It was a small family banquet to discuss the engagement.

Unknowingly, the discussion had changed from whether to get engaged to how to go about it.

This was because Wei Zhiqians Weibo and WeChat Moments from last night had already confirmed the engagement.

The Tan family did not continue to struggle needlessly.

On hearing Old Madam Wei bring up the idea of holding an engagement banquet, Tan Mo said, Didnt we already buy a ring?

How can it be the same? Were you guys planning to keep a low profile, or better put, did not even intend to hold it? Old Madam Wei asked.

Looking at Tan Mos expression, the old lady knew that she was right.

The old lady turned around and criticized Wei Zhiqian, Momo doesnt like trouble, but how can you go along with it? Who would know if you keep such a low profile? If our family doesnt hold an engagement party, people will think that we dont value Momo! What if those sn.o.bs look down on Momo as well? There are also those women with no moral values who happen to have feelings for you. They will still try their best to get close to you even if they know that you have a fiance. Theyd get the impression that because you didnt publicize it openly, you dont value Momo.. Then they would be deluded into thinking that they stand a chance.
