One by one, the aunts, uncles, and cousins turned to Li Chen with shock, disbelief, and astonishment on their faces.
"En...en..engaged? Already engaged?" Aunt Hong stammered.
"Bother-in-law, when did Qing Qing get engaged? How come we never heard anything about this?" Aunt Si, similarly stunned and pale-faced, added.
"Sister-in-law, Yue'er's marriage was fixed on the day she was born. Her fiancé is the only son of my best friend, Great Commander Long Hongwu, Long Tian..."
"Gr...Great Commander's son...Long Hongwu's only son...? Long Tian?" The aunts and uncles were shocked speechless.
"Qing Qing is engaged to Long Tian!? The Great Commander's only son, Long Tian!? Ahhh!" Yan Su jumped out of her seat and screamed in thrill.
Her comical look, wide-eyed and panting like she'd run a mile, made Qing Yue inadvertently chuckle behind her hand.
