Chapter 344: Engagement

He Chen thought to himself that this matter had finally been brought up. He put down his teacup with a smile, but his smile did not reach his eyes. “Uncle Jing, Miaomiao and Jing Yan have been together for less than a year. Isn’t it a little too early to bring this up now?”
Old Master Jing was an old fox who had lived for decades. How could he not understand what he meant? He laughed loudly and said, “Jing Yan and Miaomiao have known each other for a long time. The two children are in love with each other now. If you’re worried, you can talk to them after they get engaged. Don’t you trust an old man like me?”
“That’s not it.” He Chen stopped smiling and turned to look at He Miao. “Miaomiao, this is your marriage. You can decide for yourself. I respect your opinion.”
He Miao did not expect Grandpa Jing to bring this up at this time. However, she had discussed her marriage with Jing Yan with Old Master Jing before, so it was not too sudden. She nodded and said, “It still depends on Jing Yan.”
He Chen looked over with a heavy gaze and saw that Jing Yan was so happy that the corners of his mouth were almost reaching his ears. He was so excited that he could not control himself and did not have any intention of shirking.
Actually, Jing Yan knew that Old Master Jing would bring this up when he suggested accompanying the two of them. Now that he heard with his own ears that He Miao was willing to get engaged to him, he immediately hugged her excitedly. “Miaomiao, don’t worry. I will treat you well for the rest of my life. 1 will never bully you.”
Old Master Jing clapped happily and said, “That’s good. Young Chen, if you have any other requests, feel free to ask. The Jing family will definitely do as you say. We won’t shirk at all!”
…..
Since things had come to this, He Chen could only reluctantly agree no matter how reluctant he was. Looking at his daughter in someone else’s arms, he felt very upset, but at the same time, he felt a little relieved.
If Ye Ning could see her daughter’s happiness in heaven, she should be able to rest assured.
The two families sat at the dining table and chatted as they ate. Old Master Jing had obviously come prepared. He had even found someone to choose the date of the engagement in advance. It was set to be the first weekend of the next month. The venue would be the best hotel under the Jing family’s name. All the ceremonial things would be handed to He Miao and He Chen in public.
Of course, this also meant that He Miao’s background had to be announced as soon as possible.
He Chen did not need to be mentioned. He had long wanted to bring his daughter back under his name so that she could stay away from that scumbag father. He Miao was also willing to make it public. Previously, she did not agree to He Chen’s suggestion to reveal his identity in order to protect her. In fact, it was to lure the snake out of its hole.
Now that the snakes had been killed, there was no need to worry.
The two families hit it off and the engagement was finalized.
Jing Yan was the happiest person. He was busy at the dining table. He was either pouring wine for He Chen or putting food into He Miao’s bowl. He was very busy, but he was very enthusiastic.
After the meal, He Miao went to send Jing Yan and Old Master Jing to the car. Before they left, Jing Yan reluctantly held He Miao’s hand and said in a low voice, “Let me pick you up to school tomorrow morning, okay?”
He Miao laughed and pushed him into the car. “It was so rushed in the morning. You still have to go to work. How can you make it in time?”
“It’s fine if I’m a little late. I’m the President of the company anyway.” Jing Yan held He Miao’s hand in a coquettish manner. He was about to say something when he heard Old Master Jing suddenly cough dryly behind him.
He Miao snickered and pursed her lips. She pushed him hard again and said, “Hurry up and get in the car. Don’t make Grandpa wait. 1’11 wait for you tomorrow morning, okay?”
Only then did Jing Yan kiss her cheek in satisfaction. He then turned around and sat in the car. He waved at her happily and said, “Then it’s a deal. You’re not allowed to leave first!”
Old Master Jing, who was sitting on the other side, felt embarrassed and moved his body further away in disgust. For some reason, he felt that his grandson’s clinginess was a little embarrassing.
However, on second thought, when he was engaged to his wife back then, he was probably like this too. He shook his head helplessly and felt relieved.
The next morning, Jing Yan indeed brought a gift and entered the He family’s villa early. He Chen glared at this young man who came early in the morning to snatch his daughter away with a gloomy expression. He said with a displeased expression, “What are you holding?”
Jing Yan hurriedly placed the top quality mountain ginseng antler on the table and smiled. “This is the best tonic in my family’s storeroom. It’s for Uncle He to recuperate.”
He Chen’s expression softened slightly. He looked up again and looked behind him. “What’s that in your other hand?”
Jing Yan coughed awkwardly, then grabbed He Miao’s hand and placed a bouquet of beautifully trimmed flowers into her hand. “This is for you. Do you like it?”
He Miao blushed and lowered her head. She felt a little embarrassed to show off her affection in front of her father, but she still nodded happily and said, “Yes, 1 do. Have you had breakfast? Do you want to sit down and eat together?”
“Alright!” Jing Yan immediately nodded in agreement. As if he was afraid that others would chase him away, he took the initiative to sit beside He Miao. “1 haven’t eaten yet. 1’11 accompany you to eat before sending you to school..”
