The last time Zhang Huai went to Qinghui, he hadn't planned on telling Li Changyu about his engagement. But on second thought, he decided to tell him. It wasn't something that could be hidden anyway, and keeping it a secret would only make him seem small-minded.
He had expected Li Changyu to be stunned upon hearing that he was getting engaged to Juhua. Instead, Li Changyu simply gazed at him somberly, a dejected look on his face. He didn't even ask when the engagement would be. After a long moment, he finally forced a smile and said, "I'm getting engaged, too."
It was Zhang Huai's turn to be shocked. He looked at Li Changyu in confusion, his gaze full of questions. 'He knew Changyu likes Juhua, so why is he suddenly getting engaged to someone else?'
Li Changyu avoided his gaze and looked away. "She's my brother's mentor's niece," he said softly. "Her family runs a tea business in Huzhou."
