Sir, How About A Marriage?

Jiahui felt her face burning as she mumbled, “I… I’ll have to seek my father’s approval first…”

Cheng Che put down the cutlery in his hand and said excitedly, “Really? Then why don’t you bring me to meet your father!”

Jiahui looked at Cheng Che’s excited expression, stunned. She stuttered, “N-now?”

Cheng Che nodded. “That’s right. It’s better to do it now; we shouldn’t delay this matter…”

Jiahui looked at the documents scattered around her and said hesitantly, “Then, your work…”

Cheng Che hurriedly rose to his feet. “It’s fine. Work isn’t as important as a girlfriend. Work will always be there. However, if I fail to seize the chance, my girlfriend might not be there anymore. Let’s leave now. I’ll need to make some preparations before meeting your father…”

“But… you haven’t finished eating…” Jiahui reminded him.

“It’s okay. I’m done eating. With a girlfriend, I can even skip my meals!” Cheng Che said as he began to pack his things.

Cheng Che went into the lounge and deliberated over what to wear. Initially, he wanted to change into something more formal, but in the end, he decided it was best to be casual and natural. He removed his black-rimmed glasses as well; after all, just because Jiahui liked it, it did not mean her father would like it.

After Cheng Che was done, he grabbed Jiahui’s hand. “Let’s go!”

Jiahui resisted the urge to shake Cheng Che’s hand off. She pointed at the container and cutlery on the table and said, “I have to clear the things…”

Cheng Che did not even look at the table as he said, “No need. These things aren’t important now…”

Before leaving, Cheng Che picked up a marker and wrote on a piece of paper.

The content read: I’m meeting my in-laws today. Please don’t look for me. Even if the sky falls, please don’t contact me!

Below these words, he drew an arrow before he added the words ‘This way to Chairman Mu’s office!’

Then, he closed his office door and pasted the piece of paper on the door.

Jiahui laughed when she saw the content on the paper. “Isn’t it bad for you to do this?”

Cheng Che nodded in satisfaction as he looked at the piece of paper stuck on his door. Then, he replied seriously, “What’s so bad about this? It’s great!”

Jiahui giggled. “How do you think Mu Chen will react when he sees this?”

Cheng Che pulled Jiahui toward the elevator as he said with a huge smile on his face, “He’ll want to skin my alive”

Jiahui said, “You can still smile knowing that?”

Cheng Che maintained the smile on his face as he said, “It’s fine. Grandma will protect me. If she finds out I skipped work to meet my girlfriend’s parents, not only would she not blame me, but she’ll praise me and push the work to Brother Chen. In our family, romantic relationships are very important!”

Jiahui could not tell Cheng Che was an orphan at all; it did not seem to leave any psychological shadow on him. He was optimistic and cheerful; his personality was very good. Her eyes shifted down and landed on Cheng Che’s hand that was holding onto her hand; her hand felt warm.

At this moment, Jiahui suddenly calmed down as she recalled Song Ning’s words telling her to follow her heart.

In fact, she had taken time to reflect and discovered that she liked Cheng Che a lot. However, she did not know how to date.

Song Ning had gotten married to Mu Chen first before slowly getting to know him. In the end, things turned out very well for her.

Jiahui thought since she and Cheng Che were starting from the beginning, things should be fine for them as well.

With these thoughts in mind, Jiahui closed her fingers around Cheng Che’s hand and said, “Let me tell you; my father is very difficult to deal with! You have to be careful!’

Cheng Che looked at Jiahui attentively as he asked, “Then, can you tell me more about your father first?”

“Why?” Jiahui smiled.

Cheng Che lifted their interlocked hands and said, “This is your first time bringing a boyfriend home, right? I have to make a very good impression!’

Jiahui seemed enlightened by these words. She nodded. “You’re right. I can’t let my father laugh at me!”

Cheng Che nodded vigorously.

Jiahui said seriously, “Cheng Che, you have to do your best for me today! Let that stubborn old man see how outstanding my boyfriend is!”

Cheng Che nodded vigorously again. Spring was in full bloom in his heart.
