Chapter 104 He Owes Qin Chengyu an Explanation

Nian Jinshui became increasingly uneasy.

However, it seemed that there was another strange feeling inside him…

The word "marriage" weighed too heavily. 

Although it was required by the mission, Nian Jinshui still couldn’t completely detach his emotions.

He was going to marry Qin Chengyu…

Marriage meant living under the same roof, 

sleeping on the same bed, seeing each other all the time, 

fighting at the head of the bed and making peace at the foot of it…

Nian Jinshui was startled by his own thoughts and quickly shook his head. 

What was he even thinking?

From his point of view, 

Qin Chengyu couldn’t possibly want to marry him, right? 

It was most likely the same as in the novel, 

where Qin Chengyu wanted to take revenge on him.

At worst, he’d just stand there and let Qin Chengyu scold and beat him. 

After all, he had been a bit too harsh before. 

He would apologize, and Qin Chengyu probably wouldn’t torment him as much as in the novel, 

or even take his life, right?

As long as Qin Chengyu reconciled with him, 

they could play games together, eat together, go out together—

just like the life they had back at the Nian family.

Thinking of this, marrying Qin Chengyu didn’t seem so bad.

It would just be a simple roommate situation…

Lin Shuquan, Nian Yixin, and Ning Liang'an all turned their attention to Nian Jinshui, 

watching him as he alternately shook his head, frowned, and then seemed to relax, 

finally letting out a small sigh of relief.

The more Nian Yixin looked, the funnier he found it. 

He interrupted Nian Jinshui's thoughts, 

“Jinshui, what are you thinking? Why don’t you share with us? I want to hear your thoughts too.”

Having already prepared himself mentally, Nian Jinshui came to his senses. 

He lowered his gaze somewhat awkwardly, his long eyelashes fluttering as he murmured, 

“What else can I think? Just agree to it…”

“Agree?” 

Lin Shuquan’s eyes glinted with mockery, smiling as he asked, 

“Agree to what?”

“Agree to marry Qin Chengyu…” 

Nian Jinshui felt inexplicably embarrassed, his gaze evasive, his voice trailing off.

“I didn’t say Chengyu wanted to marry anyone. Jinshui, why are you so eager to agree?” 

Lin Shuquan teased.

“Huh? I…”

Nian Jinshui opened his mouth but was left speechless, 

not knowing how to explain. 

Wasn’t it obvious?

Nian Yixin quickly played the peacemaker, 

“Quanquan, don’t tease Jinshui. His face is all red.”

Nian Jinshui inwardly wanted to slap himself. 

What was he blushing for?

Living as an Omega for so long had made his skin thinner. 

Just saying a few words made him blush—he was really embarrassing his Alpha side!

“By the way, Jinshui, I thought you and Chengyu were still in a cold war, not having made up yet. Didn’t expect it to be so fast—you’re already heading straight to the altar,” 

Nian Yixin exclaimed, 

“Young people these days sure move fast.”

“Yixin, since Jinshui has agreed, we’ll need to discuss the wedding arrangements with the Qin family properly,” 

Lin Shuquan said, then turned to Nian Jinshui, 

“We originally wanted Qin Chengyu to marry into the Nian family, although it’s impossible now, but we still recognize him as a good person. We fully support this marriage.”

Seeing the situation, Nian Jinshui felt a little uneasy.

In the novel, Nian Jinshui had done everything wrong, 

disappointing Lin Shuquan and Nian Yixin to the point that they eventually sent him to the Qin family for a marriage alliance, 

like handing over a hot potato.

But now, they were happily discussing how to arrange his marriage with Qin Chengyu.

Nian Jinshui couldn’t help but feel a bit emotional. 

Reaping what one sows—perhaps this was what it meant.

“Jinshui, are you really going to marry Qin Chengyu? Isn’t it a bit too fast? Shouldn’t you two date first?” 

Ning Liang'an, sitting beside him, asked, still a little worried.

Nian Jinshui smiled wryly, whispering to Ning Liang'an, 

“What dating? I’ll tell you, once I marry Qin Chengyu, we’ll just be roommates living under the same roof. Very simple. Don’t think too much about it.”

Ning Liang'an was surprised. 

“Huh? Then why agree to marry him?”

“Because…” 

Nian Jinshui thought for a moment before answering, 

“Because I was going to send him back to the Qin family, but he didn’t want to go. Now he’s probably mad at me. I have to go and apologize.”

Nian Jinshui’s eyes softened with a hint of pity. 

“Besides… I don’t feel at ease leaving him alone at the Qin family…”

Although Qin Chengyu’s status had changed and things were different now, 

no one would bully him anymore, but Qin Chengyu didn’t have any feelings for the Qin family. 

He was surely unhappy living there.

Nian Jinshui sighed quietly. After all, it was him who had sent Qin Chengyu back. 

He had to take responsibility for Qin Chengyu…

After all, in the novel, Qin Chengyu had ended up in a tragic, all-or-nothing fate.

Qin Chengyu was prone to extremes. He had to keep an eye on him.

Ning Liang'an, watching Nian Jinshui fall into his thoughts again, wanted to speak but hesitated.

Was it really just a roommate situation?

It didn’t feel like it…

---

The news of Nian Jinshui agreeing to the marriage alliance quickly reached Qin Chengyu’s ears.

To be honest, Qin Chengyu was a little surprised, but also pleased.

Qin Chengyu had already been planning how to persuade Nian Jinshui to agree. 

He hadn’t expected Nian Jinshui to agree so easily and directly to marry him.

Did this mean Nian Jinshui liked him a little?

Could it be that during the time they were apart, Nian Jinshui realized that he actually had feelings for him?

This thought made the disappointment, anger, resentment, and unwillingness that had been in Qin Chengyu’s heart fade by more than half.

As long as Nian Jinshui was willing to stay by his side forever, that was enough.

Nothing else mattered.

He hadn’t seen Nian Jinshui in a month. It was time to visit the Nian family again.

To discuss their marriage.

Qin Chengyu’s brows softened, and a faint smile appeared at the corners of his mouth.

---

That day, Qin Chengyu arrived at the Nian family home with a large bag of gifts.

Unfortunately, Nian Jinshui wasn’t home.

When Lin Shuquan and Nian Yixin saw Qin Chengyu, they were delighted. 

Because of the marriage arrangements with Nian Jinshui, they were even more friendly and warm toward him.

“It’s such a coincidence, Jinshui just went out, and you’ve just arrived,” 

Nian Yixin said with a smile.

Qin Chengyu was slightly puzzled. It was still summer vacation, so Nian Jinshui should be home. 

Why was he out?

Where could he have gone?

However, Qin Chengyu didn’t voice his questions. 

Instead, he got down to business.

“Uncle Lin, Uncle Nian, has Jinshui mentioned how he wants the wedding to be arranged?”

“Jinshui prefers something simple. He doesn’t really want to have a big wedding,” 

Nian Yixin explained quickly, in case Qin Chengyu misunderstood, 

“You know Jinshui’s personality, he’s always been laid-back. He used to enjoy lively things, but now he’s become more of a homebody.”

Qin Chengyu nodded, not saying much. 

As long as he could marry Nian Jinshui, everything else could be decided by him.

But the dowry must not be overlooked.

“Uncle Lin, Uncle Nian, the Qin family is launching a new project and would like to cooperate with the Nian family,” 

Qin Chengyu said, handing over a document to Lin Shuquan and Nian Yixin.
