Chu Erzhu's words left Ye Fan, Mengyao, Chu Biyao, and Zhang Lu momentarily stunned.

Even if you're rushing your granddaughter into marriage, this isn't the way to do it. With such a tentative tone in front of the concerned parties, he uttered these words to Ye Fan, are you Ye Fan? This simple sentence contains many implications. On the surface, it can be understood as his first words to Ye Fan, indicating some understanding but no prior interaction, mixed with a hint of uncertainty, yet it's deeply meaningful.

"Is he doing this solely out of concern for Mengyao's happiness?"

"Honestly, Ye Fan and Mengyao's feelings for each other are very deep; being together is indeed a big deal."

"However, after Ye Fan revealed his Human Body Limit strength and killed Li Erye at this juncture, the deeper meaning is probably not just about his granddaughter's marriage. Surely, there's organizational influence behind it."

"For such a formidable powerhouse, the organization would undoubtedly try all means to win over."

"Coincidentally, with the Blood Wolf's connection to Mengyao's grandfather, it's likely that this engagement plan came to be."

"The organization has truly put in a lot of effort."

"But from what I understand, Ye Fan and Mengyao have pure feelings for each other. Even if it's engagement or marriage, it's bound to be the result of their feelings deepening, but too many external factors could be unfavorable."

Zhang Lu sees through both the organization's intentions and the personalities of Ye Fan and Mengyao.

The appearance of Chu Erzhu and the rush towards marriage is the best evidence.

Even though Zhang Lu felt a bit uncomfortable, it was because she had feelings for Ye Fan too. Despite it being unrequited, she had to suppress her emotions and sincerely wish them well.

"Grandfather's a bit strange. When he saw Ye Fan, his first words didn't inquire politely, not even a simple greeting, nor did he ask about the family background. It was directly about marriage as if he already knew Ye Fan. Isn't this unusual? Could it be that grandfather knew Ye Fan before?" Chu Biyao wondered with wide eyes.

"That's great, I acknowledged Fanfan as my brother-in-law long ago. Moreover, the sister and brother-in-law have deep feelings; getting engaged earlier is a huge blessing." Chu Biyao suppressed her doubt, exclaiming in joy.

She believed it was a good thing, despite finding grandfather's actions a little odd, but engagement is something that must be done first.

"What's so great about it? There's no rush for engagement; take it slow." Mengyao remained sensible. Although she didn't fully understand what her grandfather's work entailed, she knew he served an organization. Therefore, regarding the idea of engagement proposed by her grandfather, she was cautious. Even if engagement were necessary, it would be a decision shared between her and Ye Fan. She didn't want too many people interfering, not even family, especially given Ye Fan's status and strength, which could arouse undesirable intentions. The more it was like this, the more seriously she wanted to consider it; even if it meant getting engaged, it couldn't involve too many external factors.

She wanted control over her marriage. As the top woman achiever, she naturally had her own will and ideas, not allowing others to interfere.

Normally, if a grandfather pressures to marry, a girl might feel embarrassed, especially with her relationship with Ye Fan being undeniably good. But Mengyao demonstrated enough rationality and didn't forget herself in joy.

Honestly, she was pleased her grandfather urged them onto marriage because whether pressured or not, matters between her and Ye Fan were an eventuality, just a matter of time. However, if other factors intervened, it would be displeasing.

Ye Fan understood Mengyao's mindset and appreciated her thoughts and feelings.

Still, he agreed with Mengyao's subtle meaning of refusal, supporting her thoughts with no objections.

In fact, he too wanted to further the relationship with Mengyao, but everything depended on fate and timing.

As for Chu Erzhu's intention or motive, even if it existed, he wouldn't care. If it were to win him over and make conversations easier, he wouldn't concern himself with it.

Therefore, seeing Mengyao speak, Ye Fan also refrained from talking, simply acting as her silent supporter.

Watching her sister speak resolutely, Chu Biyao hesitated, filled with confusion, "Sister, this is a good thing, why aren't you happy?"

"I have my considerations, and to say the least, there's no rush for engagement; why hurry?" Mengyao casually brushed it off.

"Fanfan, do you think like my sister, too? Don't you want to be with my sister?" Biyao looked at Ye Fan.

"Perhaps Mengyao's concerns are redundant, but all are intended for my sake, so I temporarily support Mengyao's choice." Ye Fan stood silently by Mengyao's side. Indeed, Mengyao's decision was all for him, and he truly understood the deeper meaning.

In terms of feelings, he and Mengyao thought alike; they didn't want too much calculation involved.

Nor did they want someone else to dictate their relationship.

Biyao fell silent, not persuading further, deeply glancing at her sister and Ye Fan. She seemed to understand something and said no more.

"Grandpa, there's no need to worry about Ye Fan and me, as you mentioned, even though we live together, we haven't done anything inappropriate in such a large villa, so please don't speak with those old-fashioned notions." Mengyao looked at her grandfather and stated firmly.

After mentioning marriage, Chu Erzhu indeed observed everyone's reactions.

Honestly, he was the one who broke the ice on engagement between Ye Fan and Mengyao.

Without him, it was a matter of time. Treading into it made no difference anyway.

How could he not understand, Mengyao's reason for refusal was a fear of him scheming against Ye Fan, hence her polite decline.

Indeed, Mengyao's considerations made sense, as he indeed intended to rope in Ye Fan following the organization's orders.

However, when it comes to the lifelong happiness of his granddaughter, Chu Erzhu is entirely clear. He doesn't want to mix familial affection with workplace factors, not even slightly. With what he owes his family, he surely won't do anything that would harm familial relations for work.

Scheming against Ye Fan wasn't on his mind. Whether he could succeed was hard to say, and he truly lacked the heart because doing so would displease his granddaughter. The situation might further worsen; in extreme cases, it could turn into enmity, so he dared not entertain such thoughts.

In effect, everything Chu Erzhu did was to test Ye Fan and Mengyao's feelings.
