205 Discussing The Engagement

Jing Yan could not be blamed for being in a hurry. He and He Miao were usually busy with work. Although they were in the same city, they could only contact each other by phone. Sometimes, when they were busy, they could only speak one word a day. This was far worse than when Jing Yan was in school.

It was not easy for him to wait for an opportunity to bring He Miao back home with a legitimate reason. How could Jing Yan let it go so easily?

When the two of them arrived, the party was almost ready.

When He Miao entered the house, he thought that the new year had come early. The Jing family’s house was decorated in a festive manner and there was a huge Christmas tree in the middle of the living room.

“Grandpa Jing, I’m here to see you.” He Miao obediently sat beside the old man and added a newly prepared fragrance into the burner for the old man to smell.

“Good girl, only when you come can the house smell so good.” Old Master Jing really liked He Miao’s fragrance-making skills. When he found out that she was selling fragrances online, he ordered a lot of it out of his own pocket, but He Miao returned all of them after he found out.

How could she accept the Old Master’s money? Whatever fragrances Old Master Jing wanted, she could make them and send them to him.

“Smell this fragrance more, and you’ll be able to eat without restraint in a while.” The fragrances that He Miao had made for the old man were basically based on the basis of being healthy. They were usually used to adjust sleep. This spice was a bold attempt.

“Okay, then Grandpa will eat more later.” Old Master Jing brought her to the table with a smile and asked Butler Li to open a bottle of red wine. He cut a piece of steak for her with a knife and fork. “You should eat more too. You are too thin. It is not good for your health.”

“I know. Jing Yan always says I’m thin. He Miao was a little embarrassed as she picked up a piece of beef and put it in her mouth.

Seeing that she liked it, Jing Yan took her plate away and cut the beef into small pieces that were easy to eat before returning it to her. “You turned a deaf ear to what I said and only listened to grandpa’s words. Don’t you think you’re biased?”

“Don’t spout nonsense. When have I not listened to you?” He Miao glared at him, but her watery eyes were filled with a smile. She did not have the slightest intention of blaming him.

Old Master Jing loved to see these two children talk. He always felt that they were a good match. He could not help but say, “When are you two getting engaged again?”

He saw that He Miao was obviously stunned for a moment, so he softened his tone, as if he was afraid of scaring her. “I made the decision to get engaged last time, and it was too rushed. But it’s different now. You and Jing Yan are in love with each other, and you were together of your own free will. Of course, Jing Yan has to make it up to you with the best engagement ceremony.”

He Miao turned to look at Jing Yan, who had a burning gaze, and said with a smile, “I’m fine with anything.”

“Then what about your family?” Old Master Jing mentioned the other members of the He family.

He Miao had moved out for the past few months, and she had never seen her family members show concern for her well-being. However, no matter how indifferent they were to He Miao, she was still a daughter of the He family. An engagement could not be held without the attendance of her family, or she would become a laughingstock to outsiders.

“I’ll inform her family.” Jing Yan understood the He family’s true nature the best.

When he had first turned into Onion, he had suffered quite a bit in the He family house. If it had not been for He Miao’s careful protection, his soul might have been beaten to death by the He family along with that stupid dog.

He knew how difficult it was for He Miao to live in that family. As her boyfriend, it was only natural that he would help her get rid of all obstacles.

“Whether they agree or not, whether they come or not, I will marry you.”

This was the most sincere promise he could give He Miao, and it was also the best future he could think of for the two of them.

“I know. I don’t really care if they agree or not.” He Miao blushed and lowered her head. Ever since they confirmed their relationship, Jing Yan’s attentiveness had become more prominent.

He was always able to take the initiative to take on the problem before she felt troubled. He did not let her feel the slightest pressure, as if he was supporting her own little world above her head. As long as he was there, no one could hurt her.

“That’s great.” Knowing that his grandson was a man of his word, Old Master Jing was completely at ease. He ate the steak happily and waited for the two to pick a day to get things done.

After dinner, Jing Yan sent He Miao back to school. The masquerade party was about to start.

When Xu Meng saw He Miao, she immediately snatched her away from Jing Yan’s hands excitedly and dragged her into the changing room. She stuffed her gown into her hands and said, “Put it on. Do you need me to do your makeup?”

“No, I can do it myself.” He Miao held Xu Meng’s hand and looked around. She could not help but praise, “Mengmeng, you’re so pretty tonight! As expected of the great witch!”

Xu Meng had drawn the role of a witch. She was wearing a black and purple long dress, her long hair tied behind her back, and she had makeup on her face to match her identity. She really looked like an actor who was about to perform on stage.
