Ma Peng observed Brother Minmin's state and specifically sought him out for a talk. The father and son conversed in the study for half a day, and Brother Minmin seemed considerably better after emerging from the study.
Kexin knew Brother Minmin had failed, feeling a bit down, and upon seeing An Zhichen's displeased demeanor, she felt anxious. After all, she was still young and couldn't hide her worries in front of Yueyao.
Yueyao smiled and said, "Brother Minmin is only nineteen this year, in three years he will be just twenty-two, there's no rush. Moreover, experiencing more things can make one more steady."
Kexin softly said, "Mother, Father seems unhappy."
Yueyao chuckled upon hearing this and said, "Don't worry, your father will be fine in a couple of days." An Zhichen indeed had a displeased look after knowing Brother Minmin failed. However, with the engagement already set, it couldn't be withdrawn, just leaving him with a sullen face.
