Married at First Sight Chapter 4482

Serenity laughed. “You and Miss Lan have been competing for years?”

“Ever since I joined Yangtai, I’ve been gradually going head-to-head with her. It’s been about five years now. I have to admit, she’s both capable and formidable. Having a rival like her makes life less boring.”

Zhan Wei clearly held Lan Ruoruo in high regard.

“If we weren’t in the same industry, I’d genuinely admire her. She holds a prominent position in Yangcheng’s business world and is the daughter of the influential Lan family. She’s considered a top candidate for marriage by many veteran entrepreneurs.”

“But the young elites in Yangcheng prefer to work with her rather than date her. Maybe they feel she’s too competent, too dazzling. Being with her might make them feel overshadowed.”

To Zhan Wei, the so-called young talents of Yangcheng couldn’t match Lan Ruoruo’s abilities.

He felt that being with someone like Lan Ruoruo would crush his confidence and damage his self-esteem.

Their admiration for her was sincere—but only from a distance. If asked to marry her, they would decline.

That’s why her many blind dates ended in failure.

“That’s just because they’re not good enough for Miss Lan. She’s outstanding—there will be someone equally exceptional who truly appreciates her.”

“Sister-in-law, do you really like Lan Ruoruo that much? You just met her today, but it feels like you’re already taking her side.”

Zhan Wei grumbled at his sister-in-law.

“I’m your family! Lan Ruoruo is my archrival—my mortal enemy!” he said, slapping his cheek. “She even slapped me! If she weren’t a woman, I would’ve hit back already. I swear, if I didn’t beat her into the ground, I wouldn’t be Zhan Wei.”

Serenity replied honestly, “I do like Miss Lan. I don’t think she’s nearly as awful as you make her out to be.”

“She’s a good person, I won’t deny that—but she only shows me her worst side, so in my eyes, she is awful.”

“You think she’s so awful, yet you shamelessly asked her to treat you to a meal?”

Zhan Wei: “…”

How did his sister-in-law know?

He had called Lan Ruoruo behind her back.

Did that damn woman call his sister-in-law? Did she complain about him?

“She slapped me—shouldn’t she buy me a meal as an apology?”

“She already apologized and even put ice on your face to reduce the swelling.”

Serenity looked at him with a smile. She couldn’t help but feel that Zhan Wei and Lan Ruoruo were like destined rivals.

“Sister-in-law, don’t look at me like that. Lan Ruoruo and I are sworn enemies—we have a lifelong grudge. Don’t start developing feelings for her. If you do, I’ll get nervous.”

When the other brothers had been in relationships, their partners all knew his eldest sister-in-law, and they would often become close friends with her.

Zhan Wei was starting to worry that his sister-in-law might try to set him up with Lan Ruoruo. After all, she came here with the mission of encouraging marriage, and he feared that in her eyes, any woman might seem like a good match for him.

“Why are you so nervous? I just think Miss Lan is nice and easy to get along with. Even Beibei likes her. After she slapped you, Beibei still wanted her to hold him.”

“Seventh Brother, you’re not that young anymore. You’re already thirty-one. Half this year has already passed, and in another six months, you’ll be thirty-two. If you don’t settle down soon, Second Aunt will worry herself sick.”

Zhan Wei immediately stood up, picked up his little niece, grabbed his nephew’s hand, and said to Serenity, “Sister-in-law, please call my brother. I’m taking the kids out to play.”

He had no intention of sitting around and listening to his sister-in-law nag him about marriage.
