Chapter 528: 513, To Marry or Be Married_1 Chapter 528: 513, To Marry or Be Married_1 Black Jack took a step forward, subtly positioning himself to shield Jian Luo behind him.
âUncle, I swear on my life that I will protect Jian Luo and take care of him forever. Please give your consent for us to be together.â
After speaking, he bowed to Mo Xiao.
Jian Luo looked at Mo Xiao with hope-filled eyes, which made it hard for Mo Xiao to stay harsh.
However, paternal authority still needed to be upheld.
âLuoluo, you speak.â
Named directly, there was no escaping for Jian Luo.
He stepped out from behind Black Jack, looked up and met Mo Xiaoâs gaze directly, âDad, please bless us.â
âAnd you still need my blessing?â Mo Xiao looked at him askance, pretending to be indifferent.
âOf course!â Jian Luo nodded repeatedly, âYou are my father, youâre blessing is essential.â
Mo Xiao snorted lightly, somewhat satisfied with that response.
He turned his gaze towards Black Jack, his voice cold and stern, âKid, if you dare to wrong my son, even if you run to the ends of the earth, I will not let you go.â
Poor him, he just recognized his son and daughter, but they were both whisked away by others.
That thought really annoyed him.
Black Jack and Jian Luo shared a smile, âYes, I will remember your words.â
âSeeing everyone is pleased, I have a small question that Iâm curious about.â Bai Jue interjected with a strange uptick of his lips.
âWhat question?â Jian Luo was in a good mood, so he responded with a grin.
âIf you and Black Jack are together, is Uncle the future father-in-law or the future in-law?â Bai Jue uttered teasingly.
ââŠâ
The moment the question was spoken, everyone was aghast.
They hadnât thought of this. True enough, Bai Jueâs way of thinking was indeed different from others.
Jian Qing laughed lightly, joining in the teasing, âYeah, thatâs a curious question, Luoluo, what do you say?â
Black Jack had watched her and Xiaojingâs drama for so long, it was finally his turn.
Quan Jingwu leaned back, his hand circling Jian Qingâs waist, his dark eyebrows raised divertingly, his eyes teased Black Jack and Jian Luo.
âLuoluo, think about this question carefully.â Mo Xiao also interjected.
His son was taken away anyway, he should at least become a future father-in-law.
Jian Luoâs smile froze, he covertly tugged at Black Jackâs sleeve.
Heâd cursed Bai Jue a thousand times in his mind for not being quiet.
Black Jack held his hand, his face calm as he looked at Mo Xiao, âUncle, I will bring my betrothal gifts in person.â
A betrothal gift?
Isnât this implying that Jian Luo is the one who should be receiving the gift?
Mo Xiaoâs icy gaze stiffened, he was not pleased.
Trying to entrap him? Absolutely not.
âNo need, we will be sending our betrothal gifts to your residence later.â He dismissed the suggestion nonchalantly.
First Quan Jingwu called him âfather-in-lawâ which he despised, and now another person was doing the same, he was disgusted.
âAm I right, Luoluo?â
Jian Luo felt stuck in the middle, almost kneeling from the overwhelming pressure.
He had just overcome his illness, could they not torment him?
âDad, how about we discuss this matter later, anyway weâre not in a hurry.â
Once he spoke, Mo Xiao looked satisfied, but Black Jack looked resentful.
What was meant by not being in a hurry? How could such a matter of confirming oneâs identity not be urgent?
In the end, Mo Xiao added casually, âAlright, letâs talk about it later. Maybe in the future, you will meet someone you like even more.â
Jian Luo felt the atmospheric pressure from the person next to him drop, and he responded with an obligatory smile.
Dad, youâre really setting me up.
With time to spare, Bai Jue turned his attention to Quan Jingwu.
âBy the way, Jian Qing, when are you going to invite me to your wedding? Donât combine it with your childâs one month celebration.â
âWhat?â The first to react was nature-loving Lord Jian, âA one-month celebration?â
Everyone turned their eyes towards Jian Qingâs belly, their glistening eyes seemed as if the next moment a bun might pop out.
ââŠâ
Jian Qingâs lips trembled, she wished she could strangle Bai Jue.
This guy really deserved a beating.
âLittle Qingqing, are you pregnant?â Lord Jian asked urgently.
He had agreed to Jian Luo and Black Jackâs relationship, knowing that they would never have their own children, so his hope of becoming a grandfather now rested solely on Jian Qing.
Mo Xiao also curiously looked towards Jian Qing, although he despised Quan Jingwu immensely, he didnât mind becoming a grandfather.
He had missed out on his daughterâs early life, if he became a grandfather, he would certainly spoil his grandchild to the heavens.
Jian Qing saw everyoneâs curious eyes and she knew that without explaining, things would get chaotic.
âNo, donât listen to Bai Jueâs nonsense, he hasnât fully woken up this morning.â
Bai Jue caught Jian Qingâs daggerlike glance, he laughed sheepishly.
He was just speaking idly, not intending to make it a spectacle.
Upon hearing this, Lord Jianâs face showed a touch of disappointment.
He thought he was about to become a grandfather.
Seeing this, Jian Qing grabbed a cushion and flung it at Bai Jue.
Bai Jue dodged sideways and smiled as though he had been wronged.
âGrandfather, weâre returning to Beijing tomorrow.â Jian Qing said.
âSo soon?â Grandfather Jian did not want them to leave.
âXiaojing and I have been in M Country for almost two months. We need to check things back in Beijing, and Xiya is still living with me. Sheâs pregnant and I need to check on her.â
âWhen will you be back?â
âWe will come back as soon as we can, it shouldnât be too long.â She had thought about taking their grandfather back to Beijing, but that was where her mother had died. Since their grandfather had always avoided Beijing, she didnât want to coerce him.
âHmm, you guys should come back soon.â
âYes.â
âItâs best to bring me my great-grandchild next time you come back.â Grandfather Jian added in a low voice, which triggered a wave of laughter among everyone else.
Jian Qing, ââŠâ
Thatâs quite a difficult request to fulfill.
From the side, Quan Jingwu seemed to notice her dilemma, he leaned close to her ear and whispered, âBaby, letâs work hard when we get back!â
Jian Qingâs face flushed and she glared at him, âShut up.â
Quan Jingwu chuckled lightly, pulling her into his embrace.
The storm had passed and laughter returned to the Manor.
No longer hindered by Lord Jian, Jian Luo was like a wild horse, dragging Bai Jue and Black Jack to wreak havoc.
Meanwhile, Quan Jingwu and Jian Qing boarded the plane back to Beijing.
