Chapter 312: 312, Canât withstand ten million (1)_1 Chapter 312: 312, Canât withstand ten million (1)_1 Now that their parents have met, itâs about time to schedule the engagement, isnât it?
Han Yue also turned to look at him, laughing with a mischievous grin on his face.
Quan Jingwu smirked, âNo engagement.â
âWha..what?â
Quan Mingxuan echoed in disbelief. They both looked incredulous.
Did they just hear him wrong?
Quan Jingwuâs eyes sparkled darkly. âEngagement is too slow.â
Even though he had mentioned to Grandpa Jian about the engagement, after giving it more thought, he couldnât wait any longer.
As for the legitimacy of relationship, it is better to be formalised sooner rather than later.
Quan Mingxuan and Han Yue exchanged glances. An engagement was too slow?
So, were they implying that â they should get married directly?
Was their understanding correct?
âJingwu, are you planning to skip the engagement and go straight to marriage?â Quan Mingxuan asked for confirmation.
Quan Jingwu nodded lightly, âMm.â
His response left Han Yue and Quan Mingxuan both laughing and crying.
It seems this man canât wait any longer.
âYou havenât even proposed yet and youâre already thinking about getting married, isnât it too early?â Han Yue massaged his forehead, helplessly.
Which woman doesnât want a romantic proposal? Even though Jian Qing was a bit hasty, sheâs a woman after all.
Quan Jingwu lifted his gaze towards the floor-to-ceiling window. In the distance, he could still hear the sound of his wife playing with snowball, âYou donât have to worry about that.â
Han Yue scoffed.
It seems the man had already planned everything, they didnât need to worry needlessly.
This wedding wine, likely theyâll be able to toast with it soon.
âBy the way, Jingwu, remember to attend my grandpaâs birthday banquet in a couple of days.â Han Yue suddenly remembered and casually mentioned.
Quan Jingwu raised an eyebrow, neither agreeing nor refusing.
As longtime brothers, Han Yue knew well that he disliked lively events. He quickly added, âYou and Jian Qing have been together for so long, yet we never see you both at the same social events. Itâs a good opportunity to show up together and take a hit at others.â
At his grandpaâs banquet, all the social elite in Beijing would be present. It would be a good choice for the couple to make a public appearance together.
âJingwu, Ayue has a point. Donât forget that Chu Yihen and Song Xirou have their eyes on you and Jian Qing. This is a good opportunity to put an end to their thoughts.â Quan Mingxuan added.
Song Xirou and the rest were not really a threat, but Chu Yihen was. He was not someone who would give up easily.
Quan Jingwuâs deep eyes streaked with a touch of darkness, he muttered a light âMmâ.
Not long after, Jian Qing returned with snowball.
The four chatted for a while, then Quan Mingxuan and Han Yue took their leave.
âBaby!â
âMm?â At that moment, Jian Qing was busy playing games, and responded without lifting her head.
At that, Quan Jingwu reached over to snatch the tablet from her hands.
âHey, Xiaojing, give it back quickly or Iâm going to lose.â Jian Qing tumbled into his lap and reached out to snatch back her tablet.
She was playing an online game in a team with Luoluo and Bai Jue. If she lost now, it would have stakes involved.
The bet was a whopping ten million per round.
Now, it wasnât the money that mattered anymore, but it was a matter of pride.
Before she could finish speaking, the screen of the tablet read âover.â
That round, she had lost.
Quan Jingwu glanced at the tablet, his lips curling up in a smile, âItâs over.â
Jian Qing glared at him grumpily, âItâs all your fault.â
With that, she snatched back her tablet.
Just then, a chat window popped up on the screen.
[Jian Luo: Sister, did you disconnect?]
[Bai Jue: Hehe⊠even the cunning Jiang can lose.]
Jian Qing pursed her lips as she typed out a message to send back.
[Had little bit of work to do.]
Immediately, Bai Jue texted back along with a sly emoticon.
[You werenât up to something unspeakable, were you?]
Jian Qingâs eyes flashed as she sent back a message before shutting off the tablet.
[Kindly bugger off.]
As she tossed the tablet aside, Jian Qing turned to face the man beside her.
âReimburse me.â
âHmm?â Quan Jingwu flashed a teasing smile, pretending not to understand.
âTen million, I just lost because of you.â Jian Qing huffed.
He chuckled as he reached out to pull her onto his lap.
âHow about⊠I be the reimbursement, hmm?â
Jian Qing looked him up and down before shaking her head, âNo.â
âDo you mean to say, I am not worth that ten million, hmm?â The dangerous hint of a husky voice made the manâs eyes squint slightly.
Jian Qing simply nodded, âIndeed, not worth it.â
As the words fell, the manâs large hand suddenly shot towards her waist, tickling her.
âHey, thatâs not fair⊠hahahaâŠâ
Laughing, Jian Qing dodged his hands.
âHahaha⊠Xiaojing, stop it.â
Laughter in Jian Qingâs eyes, it even hurt in her stomach from laughing so hard.
Quan Jingwu used one hand to hold both of hers, the other focusing on tickling her sensitive areas.
âSay it again, am I worth that ten million? Hmm?â
âYouâre worth it, youâre worth it.â Jian Qing quickly gave up.
Quan Jingwu curved his lips satisfactorily, leaning down to kiss her, âGood girl.â
ââŠâ
Jian Qingâs eyes were sparkling as she glared coyly at him.
âIn a couple of days, accompany me to a banquet, okay?â Quan Jingwu stroked her long hair, his fingers gently sliding on her soft cheek.
Jian Qing looked up at him questioning, âa banquet?â
Didnât he always dislike attending banquets?
âAyueâs grandfatherâs birthday party,â he informed her.
âWhat gift should we buy?â she asked.
âIâll handle the gifts, you just stay by my side,â his response was authoritative.
Jian Qing buried her head in his chest, âBossy!â
Quan Jingwu lowered his gaze to her, a soft laugh formed on his lips.
When it came to her, he did not deny being bossy.
âŠ
Next day
Jian Qing and Quan Jingwu made the headlines again, casually flaunting their relationship for all to see.
The headline of the news was especially eye-catchingâ
Master Jingwu takes his girlfriend on an overseas trip, seemingly on honeymoon.
The report below also attached their photos at the airport yesterday. The high-definition photos were as good as professional shots. Just from the photos one could see the lovey-dovey vibes between them two, making others green with envy.
In the restaurant, Song Xirou staring at their photo in the newspaper, her fingernail biting into the edge of the paper.
Did he really take her to meet his parents?
How could he accept her so wholeheartedly? How could he?
