Jian Qingqing patted his head and said, “Stop crying. Aren’t you embarrassed to cry on the streets?”
As soon as she finished speaking, Jian Qingqing wanted to give herself two tight slaps. Bah, why did her brain suddenly cramp?
It was rare for her to reflect on herself. Was she allergic to romance?
However, now was not the time to think about this problem. She thought to herself that this was bad. The tsundere man in her arms was probably going to be angry.
Sure enough, Ming Zhiyan’s body stiffened, and the next moment, she felt a gentle pat on the back of her waist. The man’s voice came through gritted teeth, “Do you not want a fiancé anymore?”
Jian Qingqing quickly coaxed, “I do, I do! I was wrong, please continue.”
However, after being interrupted by the girl like this, Ming Zhiyan did not continue to stir up emotions. He stood up straight, and his face returned to its usual calm look. If it were not for the red at the corner of his eyes, one would not be able to tell that he had just cried.
He patted the girl’s head. “We’ve agreed that we’re engaged. You can’t go back on your word.”
Jian Qingqing quickly nodded. “No, no, but I can’t agree alone. My family has to agree. I can’t do anything if they don’t agree.”
Ming Zhiyan pursed his lips and said, “I know. Alright, you can go ahead with your work. Be a good girl and wait to be my fiancée.”
Jian Qingqing looked at him suspiciously. “What do you want to do?”
Ming Zhiyan did not answer and led her back to the carriage. you can go ahead. You’ll know when you come back in the afternoon.
Although Jian Qingqing was curious, Ming Zhiyan wanted to give her a surprise. She did not have to get to the bottom of it, so she nodded. “Then I’ll go first. Goodbye.”
After watching her leave, Ming Zhiyan stood there for a long time before he left.
He planned to get the Jian family’s consent before going to the palace to ask for an edict.
Thinking about how he was about to get engaged to the girl he loved, Ming Zhiyan was extremely excited. He could not wait a moment longer and the horse under him galloped even faster.
He vaguely knew what Jian Dalang wanted to test. It was nothing more than feeling that he was insincere when he said that he wanted to marry into the family. They didn’t dare to believe it, so they wanted to test his determination to marry into the family.
Today, he would give the Jian family a definite result. After informing them, if
they agreed, he would immediately enter the palace and ask the Emperor for an edict.
When they arrived at the Princess’s Manor, everyone in the Jian Family was still at home, except for a few young ones who had to go to school.
When they saw Ming Zhiyan, they were all surprised. This was the first time that Old Man Jian and Mother Jian had seen Ming Zhiyan since they found out that Jian Qingqing was with him.
“What are you doing here?” Jian Dalang asked with dissatisfaction. “Didn’t I tell you not to come and find Big Sister again?”
Ming Zhiyan bowed respectfully and said sincerely, “I’m very sorry, Grandpa
Jian, Uncle, and Aunty. I came to disturb you today. I know that in your hearts,
I’m not a very good candidate for a son-in-law. I also know of your sincerity to Qingqing. You want her to live a happy life and have a smooth life. My heart is the same as yours. I like Qingqing very much.”
“You may not believe me when I said I wanted to marry into the Jian Family, but I’m telling the truth. I lost my father when I was young and my mother couldn’t control me, so I can take responsibility for my own matters. If you agree, I’ll immediately enter the palace and ask the Emperor for an Imperial edict to be Qingqing’s husband and marry into the Jian family.”
After he finished speaking, everyone looked at him with complicated expressions and remained silent for a long time..
