“I knew it. For Huo Qi to take the initiative to cooperate with us this time, he must be up to no good. Third Brother, you still don’t believe me! Look, did we fall into his trap? It’s fine if we were schemed against by him, but he even made our sister cry! This is absolutely unforgivable!”

As Su Qian spoke, he didn’t forget to turn to look at Su Lu, who was beside him, wanting to find some recognition from his third brother!

However, when he saw that Su Lu was only looking at him helplessly and speechlessly, Su Qian choked slightly. After some thought, he looked at Huo Qi again and pretended to be certain. “Since Qingqing hasn’t thought about whether she wants to get engaged to you or not, you should take your time! Anyway, Qingqing’s injuries haven’t healed yet. Why are you in such a hurry? I don’t think this day is suitable for a proposal. Who would choose to propose to someone on such an important birthday? Right! Huo Qi, you… you’re really strange!”

As Su Qian spoke, he seemed to feel that he was being unreasonable, so he started to make circular arguments. Anyway, he wanted to object, and he was unwilling to see Huo Qi’s proposal succeed.

With Su Qian’s interruption, the romantic and beautiful atmosphere in the living room disappeared slightly.

Wu Mu came back to her senses. When she heard Su Qian’s forced explanation, she felt a little amused, but also helpless.

She smiled and said, “Senior Su Qian, what you’re saying is a little wrong. I think Huo Qi chose the right time to propose. Today is our Qingqing’s 18th birthday, and they’ve just experienced a huge bump in life and death. I don’t think there’s any time more suitable than now! People don’t have to wait until they lose it to learn to cherish it. It’s really important to live every moment well and follow every sincerity in their hearts!’

As Wu Mu spoke, she seemed to have thought of something, and the glint in her eyes became gentle and restrained. She sighed slightly and turned to look at Su Qing with a gentle and encouraging smile. “Qingqing, don’t be too nervous. You just have to follow your true thoughts. Tell us what you think! I

believe that Uncle, Auntie, your brothers, Master, and us will always support you. Don’t be nervous! Anyway, no matter what you say, he won’t be able to escape from you for the rest of his life!”

Wu Mu’s teasing words to ease the atmosphere made everyone in the living room subconsciously relax, and their eyes subconsciously carried warm kindness and love.

They were all very important people in Su Qing’s life, so they naturally hoped that she would continue to be so happy.

Su Xing glanced at Huo Qi, who was still kneeling on one knee and smiling at Su Qing, and heaved a long sigh of relief. However, he didn’t say anything.

Actually, the five brothers of the Su family treated their only sister, Su Qing, with love, and doted on her like how they cherished their eyes. Their inspection and criticism of their future brother-in-law, Huo Qi, could be said to have lasted all the way!

It was already very difficult for Huo Qi to completely resist the five of them’s difficulties and provocations alone.

Correspondingly, the fact that Huo Qi’s proposal today could progress so smoothly was already very obvious. Their brothers had acknowledged Huo Qi. Otherwise, he probably wouldn’t have been able to get close to Su Qing!

Of course, this “smooth progress” didn’t include Su Qian, who was always an unstable time bomb.

Fifth Young Master Su treated Huo Qi, an old man who had snatched his sister, as his lifelong enemy.

However, Su Qian had never gotten along with Huo Qi. The two of them spoke to each other and insulted each other all the time. This was normal, and Su Qing seemed to be used to it, so she didn’t care much about her fifth brother’s objections..
