Chapter 1137: Chapter 1137: Out With It Already
He Jinxuan was so excited last night that he didn’t sleep a wink. At dawn, he got up and began making breakfast.
Now seeing Xinyan come out, he smiled warmly and quickly greeted her: "Breakfast is ready. Go wash up first, I’ll help you cool the porridge."
Xinyan chuckled at his demeanor: "What time did you get up?"
He Jinxuan replied sheepishly to her question: "I got up before dawn. I made your favorite bean porridge."
Xinyan teased him: "Why, so eager to meet your father-in-law?"
He Jinxuan wiped the smile off his face and replied earnestly: "Yes."
After saying that, he pulled her into his arms, leaning close to her ear: "I’ve been wanting to marry you for a long time."
With that, he gazed lovingly at the little girl in his arms.
Xinyan, feeling shy under his gaze, blushed and patted his arm: "Let go, I need to go wash up."
He Jinxuan burst into a cheerful laugh: "I’ve already squeezed your toothpaste, freshen up quickly and come for breakfast."
Perhaps their closeness made this breakfast especially sweet and affectionate.
After sending Xinyan to school, He Jinxuan found a spot to call his boss and ask for leave, then hurriedly went to her father’s workplace.
Right now, nothing is more important than setting a wedding date.
In the past, he never revealed his identity here. Maybe he was too eager today, and he directly mentioned his connection with Han Jingchen.
Soon, there was news: "Mr. He, you may go up."
Han Jingchen saw he arrived at the office so quickly, guessing he must have dashed up: "What’s going on?"
He Jinxuan stood at attention and gave a standard military salute.
Although Han Jingchen felt somewhat puzzled, he knew something important must have happened: "If there’s something, say it."
He Jinxuan didn’t hesitate, speaking directly: "Does what you said before still count?"
Han Jingchen didn’t understand: "What did I say?"
He Jinxuan took a step forward: "About the marriage between Yanyan and me, you said as long as Yanyan agrees, it’s fine."
Han Jingchen was stunned, then realized: "You’re saying Yanyan agreed?"
While speaking, he stood up from his seat.
He Jinxuan didn’t hide what happened yesterday. Even if he didn’t tell him, in a few days, it would spread from elsewhere, especially since the people dining at that private restaurant are not ordinary individuals.
Instead of letting it reach the father-in-law’s ears through rumors, it’s better to confess and seek leniency.
The two stayed in the office for more than an hour before He Jinxuan left.
He left with a smile on his face, walking with a spring in his step, a clear sign that things went well.
Shortly after, Xinyan received a call from Gu Wanqing: "Yanyan, tomorrow is the weekend, come home early to your grandfather’s place."
Xinyan naturally understood how her family felt: "Got it, mom."
She was about to return to her dorm when she bumped into Jiang Peiqin: "Yanyan, wait for me, let’s walk together."
She acted swiftly, and shortly after paying for the call, she joined Xinyan: "Let’s go."
Xinyan turned and smiled at her: "You seem to have figured things out, reconciled?"
Jiang Peiqin rolled her eyes at Xinyan: "Can’t you wish for me to be more assertive, and say it’s him who finally appeased me?"
Xinyan laughed out loud: "Alright, my mistake."
She never thought that Jiang Peiqin, who appeared so aloof to outsiders, could turn into such a little girl in front of her fiancé.
This is probably what love should look like.
Jiang Peiqin felt a little embarrassed, hastily changing the subject: "You’re talking about me, but you’ve been taking calls frequently these days. What, are you rolling in money with nowhere to spend it, being so overly sweet?"
This weekend they’ll surely decide on a wedding date, and Jiang Peiqin, being her closest friend, deserves more than just a day-of notice: "Naturally, we have important matters to discuss."
Jiang Peiqin grew intrigued, jokingly pressing her: "What kind of matters require multiple calls a day? Spill the beans."
