Tian Xinyuan remained silent throughout the entire arranged marriage discussion, standing quietly to the side. After Tian's father finished speaking, he did not express any unwillingness either.
It's as if he's accustomed to accepting things as they come. He would listen to whatever his father said and accept it without any reason.
"If you're not willing, I can discuss it with Dad again." Tian Ke accompanied Tian Xinyuan back to their room. "This isn't really about marrying you off."
In fact, they all knew it in their hearts. The marriage alliance was just a pretense. The purpose was to put their father's mind at ease.
Oh, perhaps there are also some benefits for the Tian family in terms of business.
After entering the room, Tian Xinyuan turned on the wall lamp and walked to the desk, his voice sounding somewhat muffled: "I know that my father just wanted to entrust me to someone before he passed away, so that he could find some peace of mind."
"Yuan Yuan, you..."
Tian Ke furrowed his brows. He had always known that his younger brother was sensible, but he never expected him to be so mature.
It's like being sold off immediately and then having to pay the buyer back for selling you.
Although it's not appropriate to describe his father in this way, he seemed unable to find a more fitting description.
He could not approve of his father's actions.
Tian Xinyuan looked at his older brother, whose forehead was furrowed tightly. In contrast, he, who had been sent away for a political marriage, seemed extremely calm. There was even a hint of comfort in his words, "This is already considered good, isn't it?" He took off his school uniform jacket, revealing a neatly pressed white school shirt underneath. "At least the other party is the Ye family, whom both you and Dad are familiar with."
Yes, the Ye family can be said to be very familiar to them.
The Ye family has always had a good relationship with the Tian family, and they also have a business partnership. In addition, Tian Ke and the only son of the Ye family, Ye Chen, have known each other since they were young. It can be said that they are the best choice for a marriage alliance with the Tian XinYuan family.
But as an older brother, how could he bear to watch his own child get married so early?
Even if it's a fake marriage, we still need to get a genuine marriage certificate!
After all, it was the beloved younger brother who concerned the entire family, so he couldn't rest assured even if the other party was the sole son of the Ye family!
Tian Ke remembered it all in his mind. Both of them were Alphas, and at the age of eighteen or nineteen, during the impulsive teenage years, they knew exactly what they had done together.
Moreover, taking a step back, even if it were an outstanding Alpha, he believed they wouldn't be worthy of Tian Xinyuan, let alone his longtime friend Ye Chen.
Because both of them knew each other inside out, Tian Ke didn't think he was worthy of his precious little brother at all.
However, the media's evaluation of him is overwhelmingly positive. There's no need to say more about Ye Chen's character, as there is hardly anything to fault. At a young age, he took over the family's ancestral business when he was just twenty-four years old, and within a year, he managed it methodically. As a highly sought-after eligible bachelor in S City, he naturally attracted a lot of attention, but even the young ladies from prestigious families had no chance to approach him.
After hearing about the marriage arrangement between the two, the Ye family accepted it with delight. Yu Yao, in particular, was extremely satisfied with this decision. She had also interacted with Tian Xin Yuan, and found that he had a good personality, was well-behaved, and sensible. Apart from being a bit younger than her own son, he met all the other requirements perfectly.
Ye Chen is not that old in terms of age, but he's not particularly young either. Many Alphas his age have already settled down and started their careers. Yu Yao has mentioned to him several times that it's time for him to get married, but Ye Chen never took it seriously. When he's busy, he stays at the company, and when he has free time, he's always tinkering with the company's documents at home. He's completely focused on his work and has no concept of starting a family.
This time, the Tian family slightly mentioned the matter of a marriage alliance to them, and Yue Yao directly agreed on behalf of Ye Chen.
As a mother, it is natural to feel anxious when her son gets married late. The youngest son of the Tian family is outstanding in every way, plus both families know each other well. This way, her wish can also be fulfilled.
On the other hand, looking at Ye Chen's side, Yu Yao's personality was also straightforward. She didn't beat around the bush and explained the whole situation to him without giving him a chance to consider or even refuse.
"Tian family? Tian Ke's younger brother, Tian Xinyuan?" Ye Chen had no intention of getting married in recent years, not even the slightest sign of a potential partner. He didn't hesitate much when he saw the unwavering attitude of Yu Yao, which left no room for refusal. He replied, "Alright, I'll listen to you. Let's get married then."
Speaking of it, Ye Chen doesn't have a particularly deep impression of Tian Xinyuan. It only lingers on when they were little in Omega, around eight or nine years old. It was like a soft little dumpling. At that time, Ye Chen was only fifteen or sixteen years old. The two families were acquainted, and he often played with Tian Ke from the Tian family. The little dumpling always followed behind Tian Ke, calling him "brother" with a childish voice.
Later on, Ye Chen was sent abroad for studies, and the frequency of his meetings with Tian Ke gradually decreased. They could only keep in touch through the internet, and the chances of seeing Tian Xin Yuan, the little bundle, disappeared.
So when Ye Chen heard that the person in this arranged marriage was actually Tian Ke's younger brother, there was still a hint of surprise on his face. After all, Tian Ke, who was extremely obsessed with his younger brother, considered his brother as his life. It is a bit strange that he agreed to this so easily.
Ye Chen had never seen Tian Xinyuan at the age of eighteen, but he had certainly seen him in Tian Ke's hands. Whether it was the screensaver on Tian Ke's phone, the caller ID, or the pictures he kept in his wallet, they were all photos of Tian Xinyuan.
The young Bai Tuanzi has grown up, but still gives off a white and tender impression. Ye Chen couldn't deny that Tian Xinyuan's face is indeed the type he likes.
