"I disagree!" It's not mutual love, and Pei Qian is still a Little Radish. In a couple of years, after Fang Liuming has seen more of the world, he'll lose interest as well.
Pei Yuan glanced at Pei Qian, "Eldest Sister! What if... the Fang family agrees to it?"
"They won't agree," Pei Qin said, pursing her lips.
And indeed, the Fang family did not agree.
Fang Liuming, having vehemently resisted, ran back to town. Old Scholar Fang, unaware of the situation, also had to return home without visiting Graduate Chang. When he came back, he announced he had fallen in love with Pei Qian, and wanted to marry her.
Fang Li immediately frowned, "No way! Ms. Chang from the Graduate family is so much better, you don't want her, but instead you want to marry the fiery Pei Qian!? I don't agree to you marrying her into this family!"
Old Scholar Fang also frowned, not outright denying, but neither giving consent.
