Chapter 529: When Will You Make Me Official?

Qin Juan glanced at Jia Liang behind her, and Jia Liang gave her a reassuring look.

"You and Ningning take the car. It’s cold, don’t let the child catch a chill. I’ll walk a bit since I ate a little too much for dinner."

Qin Juan looked at Jia Liang and then at her second brother, finally nodding her head.

Lin Chuxia almost burst out laughing.

She rolled down the car window and said to Jia Liang below, "Get in the car."

Jia Liang chuckled and opened the car door to get in.

Qin Yang looked at him once in the rearview mirror before refocusing and starting the car.

The atmosphere in the car was slightly quiet for a moment, so Lin Chuxia directly found a topic.

"When did Houzi and Nana happen? How come I didn’t hear a thing?"

Jia Liang knew about this.

Ever since Houzi had a girlfriend, he often ran to Jia Liang’s house and bragged to him.

"Honestly, I didn’t expect it either. It probably started in Rong City. Houzi stayed there for a while, and later Liu Na was also sent there. With back and forth interactions, I don’t know how they ended up having feelings for each other, but when they came back, Houzi started boasting to me."

"Houzi’s a sweet talker and knows how to take care of people," Lin Chuxia said with a smile.

She knew Liu Na was resistant to relationships because of Feng Zhong, so reaching her heart was not an easy task.

However, Lin Chuxia thought back to some scenes when they first went to Rong City. Perhaps Houzi had set his sights on the girl back then.

Jia Liang added, "That’s true. Once they confirmed their relationship, Houzi went to the Liu Family to propose. The Liu Family seemed to look down on Houzi a bit. Still, that guy was sensible and didn’t mind the Liu Family’s attitude. He constantly visited them, which gradually changed their opinion. They agreed to the match, and recently Houzi has rented a small courtyard, planning to get married there."

"Sincerity moves mountains. That’s how you pursue a wife," Lin Chuxia said meaningfully, "Houzi’s spirit is worth learning from."

Jia Liang was momentarily taken aback, then grinned.

Very soon, they arrived at Qin Juan’s small courtyard. After they got out of the car, Qin Yang took his leave with the others.

Qin Juan watched the car drive away before turning to walk Ningning back inside.

Just as she was about to open the courtyard door, she heard Jia Liang’s voice behind her, "Juanzi."

Qin Juan opened the door for Ningning to find Wang Tianxue inside, then turned to look at the man behind her.

Jia Liang took a step forward.

The moon was very round and bright tonight.

It lit up the ground, clearly showing the features of the person across.

His eyes were fixed on Qin Juan intensely. He swallowed and continued, "When... when will you make me official?"

Qin Juan knew that today’s matters with Houzi might have spurred him on, but she didn’t expect him to be so direct.

For a moment, she didn’t know how to respond. She glanced around nervously, "I-I don’t know what you’re talking about..."

"You know, Juanzi, are you having second thoughts again? But it’s okay, I’ll wait for you, no matter how long it takes. I’ll only recognize you in this life, even if you don’t make it official. Just seeing you every day is satisfactory for me, as long as I don’t say anything to upset you..."

The towering man appeared flustered, making Qin Juan’s heart inexplicably soften.

This was completely different from the Manager Jia usually seen.

"I’m not upset. Just give me some time to think about how to tell my family."

She never considered remarriage, and now having accepted Jia Liang’s feelings, Qin Juan still felt a bit embarrassed and didn’t know how to talk to her parents about it.

"How about... I just go to your house to propose, and you don’t have to worry about anything? I’ll talk to your parents myself." At this point, Jia Liang sounded a bit aggrieved, "Your brother’s glare today was quite piercing. If this continues, I’m worried your younger brother might hit me early..."

"Ah, what nonsense are you talking about," Qin Juan said, annoyed and shyly hitting his arm, "What younger brother, the second brother has a good temper and is very sensible. He wouldn’t hit at random..."

The latter words fell silent as Jia Liang took her soft little hand, and Qin Juan’s face turned red...

A cloud drifted across the sky at some point, covering the bright moon.

It seemed as if the moon was also shy and hid away.

..............

Jia Liang looked at the door that had been closed for a while now, rubbing his fingers, he hummed a little tune as he walked home.

As soon as he entered the house, a shadow behind the door startled him.

"Mom, what are you doing here in this cold weather, standing like a doorman?"

Old Mrs. Jia huffed, "Being a doorman is useless. I want to be a matchmaker."

"Being a matchmaker is a bit difficult," Jia Liang thought seriously, "You only qualify to be called ’old’. I hear the matchmaker is supposed to be a man. Aging is easy, turning into a man, well, that might be impossible for you in this lifetime..."

"Impossible, impossible, impossible..." Old Mrs. Jia was so angry she slapped him several times on the shoulder.

"If you had shown some spirit, would I need to want to be a matchmaker? Houzi is about to marry his wife. He’s only been in the city a few days? And you? The good girl is right beside you, and you don’t even know how to woo her. How did I give birth to such a useless son? Holding hands makes you so happy. If you bring her home, wouldn’t you be able to hold hands every day? And not just hands, you..."

"Shh, shh, shh... Mom, Mom, stop," Jia Liang quickly covered Old Mrs. Jia’s mouth, cautiously looking at the neighboring courtyard, "Have mercy with your words, your son still wants face."

Old Mrs. Jia freed herself from his hand, giving him an annoyed look.

"I think you’re too concerned with face, that’s why you haven’t settled on a wife for so long. You should learn more from Houzi; if you want a wife, what’s face for?"

Jia Liang: You really are my own mother, aren’t you?

.....................

On the other side, Lin Chuxia tapped the man’s handsome face with a playful look and asked, "Still can’t figure it out? Your face looks so troubled."

Qin Yang pursed his lips, finally sighing, "It’s not that I can’t figure it out, I just feel like I’ve been too unconcerned about big sister. She just left the Zhang family not long ago, and now she’s already..."

"This is normal. Men and women marrying, as long as there are no psychological issues, meeting someone they fancy, they will naturally want to approach. Look at Liu Na, she was so hurt before, but now that she’s met Houzi, isn’t she happily getting married too? Big sister is still young. What’s wrong with pursuing happiness? This shows she’s long since moved past the previous shadows. Not letting go of the past is not accepting reality. If one can’t forget their ex, it only means the current one isn’t good enough. I’m really happy for big sister. Oh, and for Nana as well. I have to think about preparing a wedding gift for her..."

The petite woman mumbled, and Qin Yang glanced at her sideways.

Why is it that her reasoning is always so unconventional yet so sensible?

Indeed, not forgetting the ex only means the current one isn’t good enough.

The fact that big sister can accept Jia Liang, perhaps Jia Liang really did something to move her in some way.
