“Yes,” Zhai Yi replied without any guilty conscience. Marriage wasn’t something done for fun. He naturally had to find someone suitable and whom he liked before getting married.

Actually, Zhai Yi played a word game with his father.

He said that they had been together for three years. However, he actually dated more than one person during this period.

It wasn’t that Zhai Yi was disrespectful to his girlfriend and chose to desert her as his conditions were good.

They knew their family situation. The three children had long discussed in private that they felt that it was good for Chen Feng and Jiajia to get married like that back then. Two weddings became one, and this could save their mom a lot of trouble.

There were three of them. For something as troublesome as weddings, they didn’t want their mom to be tired after organizing it thrice. Not only would their dad feel heartache and get angry, but they, as children, wouldn’t feel comfortable in their hearts as well.

As such, the three of them agreed to work hard to find their partners. When they found the right one, they would hold their weddings together.

The three of them planned it this way so that they could save their parents’ efforts. Although they were willing, they also had to see if their other halves were willing or not.

Indeed, San Bao was San Bao. She had been bad-tempered since she was young. After she grew up, she was capable and found a boyfriend whom she could control easily.

The boyfriend said that as long as San Bao was willing to marry him, it didn’t matter where they were getting married or if it was a Chinese-style or Western-style wedding. He would listen to San Bao’s views completely.

As such, the only person who really dated the same partner for three years was only San Bao.

Da Bao and Er Bao were boys. Their partners were girls. Which girl wouldn’t want to have an unforgettable wedding and be the person everyone paid most attention to on that special day?

When they heard their boyfriends say that there were potentially three couples holding their weddings together, Da Bao’s and Er Bao’s girlfriends hardly agreed.

Their girlfriends thought of a few ideas. They said that they would try to create less trouble for both parties’ parents. If there was anything, they, the younger generation, could just handle it so that it wouldn’t be tough on both parties’ parents. As such, the wedding of the three couples did not need to be held on the same day.

Da Bao and Er Bao had seen how the situation was like when Chen Feng and Jiajia got married.

There were a lot of things that they didn’t understand and had to be done by adults.

Furthermore, if three weddings were held, no matter how effortless they were, their parents had to go through the formalities thrice. No, that would tire them out.

Zhai Yi and Zhai Xin were born well. They were good-looking as well.

Both girls were proud to have boyfriends like Zhai Yi and Zhai Xin. They thought that since their partners were the chief’s sons and they had achieved very outstanding performances and results in the army, their weddings couldn’t be sloppy. It was definitely a no to have three couples together on the same day.

When Zhai Yi and Zhai Xin expressed this idea, both parties had not reached the stage of discussing marriage. The brothers were just giving their girlfriends a heads-up to see their attitudes.

Then, they realized that their first girlfriends were unwilling to accept this. They’d rather think of other solutions than to agree to them.

Alright, since their feelings for each other weren’t deep yet, they should break up quickly and not delay each other since their mindsets differed.

After the breakup, the two girls were shocked. Weren’t they still dating yesterday? Why did they suddenly break up today?

The girls wanted to cry and kick up a fuss. They refused to break up. After breaking up with such an outstanding person, where would they go to find a better partner?

To be honest, in terms of family background, it was really difficult to find girls like Zhai Yi and Zhai Xin.

Thankfully, the Zhai family never had sectarian views. As long as they were suitable and liked each other, they weren’t particular about this.

As brothers, after experiencing a breakup once, Zhai Yi and Zhai Xin became more careful when looking for girlfriends again.

Love was important as well. As such, the brothers ranked both love and suitability at the top.

It wasn’t enough if there was love. They had to be suitable for each other as well. It wasn’t enough if they were suitable. It was important that they loved each other too.

When the brothers were still looking for their partners, San Bao had already settled down with her boyfriend. San Bao said, “The both of you can just decide what to do. My boyfriend and I have already decided. He will follow my views completely. There won’t be any issues. When the both of you have confirmed your partners, let’s hurry up and get married.”

Their younger sister had surpassed them. As brothers, Zhai Yi and Zhai Xin felt that they had lost face.

In the second year, Zhai Xin could be said to have found a girl whom he liked and found suitable. They started dating. Thus, only the eldest, Zhai Yi, was left.

Even after being laughed at by his younger brother and sister, Zhai Yi wasn’t anxious. Who asked him to be the older brother? His requirements for finding a partner had to be higher than Zhai Xin’s.

The eldest brother was like a father while the eldest sister-in-law was like a mother.

Based on Zhai Sheng’s and Qiao Nan’s age, the person who had to take care of this family more and work harder in the future would definitely be Zhai Yi’s other half.

As such, if the girl Zhai Yi was looking for wasn’t generous or considerate enough to take care of others, their marriage would be gone sooner or later.

After all, the relationship between the three siblings had always been very good. He was prepared to keep it that way.

One could imagine how serious Da Bao naturally was when choosing his partner. He didn’t dare to be sloppy at all.

Thankfully, what Qiao Nan and Zhai Sheng kept teaching Zhai Yi finally came true.

Don’t be anxious. There would always be someone who could give you happiness waiting for you.

Two years later, Zhai Yi found the girl he wanted. She was cheerful and generous. She was especially gentle and could take care of others well.

What satisfied Zhai Yi was that this girl didn’t have a mother. After her father married her stepmother, the two gave birth to another son.

This son was brought up by his girlfriend, who was the older sister. There was a stepmother, after all. As time passed, his girlfriend’s relationship with her biological father naturally became distant. She was also neutral toward this half-brother.

It wasn’t that Zhai Yi was biased. Under such circumstances, he believed that after this girl married him, she would naturally take care of his relatives more and be closer with them.

Facts had proven that Zhai Yi didn’t find a wrong partner.

After knowing Zhai Yi’s conditions, the girl hesitated for a while as she felt her background wasn’t compatible with his. It was when Zhai Yi told her that they didn’t have sectarian views and that his mom was nice did the girl decide to give it a shot.

No matter if she was being genuine or hypocritical, she was quite concerned about the situation of Zhai Yi’s parents when they were dating. Sometimes, when they were out on a date and she saw something good, she would say that it was suitable to get it for the elders.

As such, the things that Zhai Yi gave to his parents for the past year were actually selected by his girlfriend or suggested by her.
