Jiang Chenglong nodded and hesitated for two seconds before saying, “Grandpa said that he was very happy and told me to… take time to bring Xuelong back to the capital.”
“Haha, didn’t he talk to you about the engagement?” Old Master Rong laughed loudly.
“Engagement!”
Other than the Old Master, everyone present asked reflexively.
Including Madam Rong.
Not to mention Jiang Chenglong and Rong Xuelong, as well as the people from the second branch.
The Old Master was stunned. “Yes, engagement. Is there a problem with that? The headlines are all over the country now, and the whole country knows that our Rong family’s child is with the Jiang family’s child. If they don’t get engaged, are we waiting for their breakup then?”
Ahem…
Rong Xuelong almost coughed.
Wasn’t this really just waiting for the breakup then?
“Father, this… the children these days all like to date for a longer time, and then…” Madam Rong and Rong Xuelong exchanged glances and clearly objected with difficulty.
“You can date anytime you want!” The Old Master said unhappily. “Xuelong should be married at her age. You said that she doesn’t have a boyfriend of similar status and doesn’t like anyone, so we won’t force her. But look at them now. Look at the perfect couple. As her mother, what are you thinking!”
Madam Rong… choked.
She really couldn’t explain.
Second Madam Rong rarely had Madam Rong agree with her. She hurriedly smiled and said, “Sister can’t bear to let Xuelong go. Besides, many young people these days are unmarried or playful…”
She didn’t want the Rong and Jiang families to be connected through marriage.
If Rong Xuelong was with Jiang Chengxi, she could still accept them a little more.
Jiang Chengxi that playboy. Although their branch was rich, they were actually not the main branch…
But Jiang Chenglong was the only heir of the Jiang family!
Furthermore, even a blind person could see Jiang Chenglong’s heart for Rong Xuelong.
How could the Second Madam, who had always treated Rong Xuelong as a thorn in her side, bear to see her husband’s “illegitimate daughter” marry so well?
“Young people these days are acting wrongly!” Unexpectedly, both his daughters-in-law objected, and Old Master Rong’s temper soared. “As elders, why don’t you have the awareness that you are wrong? Can’t you be in love after getting engaged and getting married? Can’t a couple be sweet afterwards? Look at Linyi and Yanyun. That speed. With a greeting, her stomach is already more than five months big! Are the two of them not loving anymore? Learn from them!”
Old Master Rong lost his temper. Seeing that no one dared to retort, his mood improved a little.
He looked at Jiang Chenglong again. “If you want to say anything, just say it. Do you want to marry our old Rong family’s daughter?”
Jiang Chenglong looked at Rong Xuelong involuntarily.
Her fingers were still intertwined with his, but there was no movement. She was like a statue, making him unable to guess what she was thinking.
From Old Master Rong’s point of view, Rong Xuelong lowered her head and looked at her knees shyly.
Only Rong Xuelong herself knew that there was only one word repeating in her mind—
Damn! Damn! Damn!
Jiang Chenglong couldn’t get the hint, and he made up his mind and nodded. “Yes.”
He didn’t want to lie, nor was there a need to.
As for whether Xuelong was willing to marry him, it was her problem instead.
What disappointed him was that even when he said this, Rong Xuelong’s fingertips remained motionless with no reaction.
The Old Master was already laughing loudly. “Okay! You’re like a man! You have the shadow of your grandfather back then! It’s settled then. Eldest daughter-in-law, go and organize this engagement banquet immediately. We’ll have one here, and one in the capital. It has to be perfect!”
Jiang Chenglong nodded and hesitated for two seconds before saying, “Grandpa said that he was very happy and told me to… take time to bring Xuelong back to the capital.”
