Chapter 136: 136, Gift to Future Daughter-in-law (One More Update)_1 Chapter 136: 136, Gift to Future Daughter-in-law (One More Update)_1 “Some other time, let’s hang up now.” Quan Jingwu said with a smile, breaking off the gossiping old men’s chat.
“Wait, Jingwu, let Jian Qing speak on the phone.” Knowing that Quan Jingwu is not going to play along, the old man hurriedly spoke, afraid that he would cut off the call.
With her name being called out, Jian Qing had no choice but to take the phone from his hand, “Grandpa Quan!”
Hearing Jian Qing’s voice, the old man’s face blossomed into a full smile, “Jian Qing, dinner is ready here. Come with Jingwu, you remember the tea tasting we agreed before, right?”
“Of course, I remember.” Jian Qing replied, “But we’ve already had dinner, how about another day? I’ll personally visit you then.”
“But…” The old man was still not entirely convinced.
Not wanting her to feel uncomfortable, Quan Jingwu took back the phone, “Grandpa, it’s late now, we won’t disturb your meal.”
After saying that, the phone hung up with a ‘beep’.
“That damned kid!” The old man was so angry he was ready to stomp his feet.
“Fine then, another day will do, let’s eat.” The old woman laughed.
Meanwhile, Quan Jingwu, who had just ended the call, didn’t seem to feel a bit guilty. He leaned against the counter, trapping Jian Qing between his arms and the counter.
“Sweetheart, you heard it earlier, grandpa and others seem eager for me to bring you back to meet them.” The two were so close, they could clearly sense each other’s breaths.
“All right, as long as you pass your probation period.” Jian Qing lifted her head, meeting his deep purple eyes, and gave a cunning smile.
Hearing her words, Quan Jingwu’s eyes deepened, he bent down to face her, nose to nose, “Sweetheart, I’ve been on probation for a long time now, when are you planning to let me become official, hmm?”
As he leaned in closer, Jian Qing tilted back, “There’s no need to get so close just to speak.”
“Don’t change the subject.” He wrapped one arm around her waist, his voice lowered, “When can I become legit?”
“When the time is right, the setting is suitable, and people are in agreement.” Jian Qing gave a coy smile.
“When exactly would that be?” He pursued relentlessly. This was not a trivial matter; it was about his lifelong happiness.
“Hey, your necklace is really beautiful.” He bent his head down, revealing his collarbone. Jian Qing spotted the necklace around his neck. Her gaze was drawn to it.
“How come I’ve never seen you wear it before?”
Knowing that she was trying to divert the conversation, Quan Jingwu smiled, he lowered his gaze to the necklace around his neck, “Do you like it?”
“Yes, it’s very similar to your eyes.” Pure purple amethyst was encrusted with a rim of small diamonds. Under the refraction of the light, it sparkled and shone, making it hard to look away from.
Just like his mesmerising, deep purple eyes.
Quan Jingwu let her go, took off the necklace, and then went to put it around her neck.
“Xiaojing, you…”
Jian Qing stopped his hand. If he wore this necklace, it must have some sort of special significance.
“If you refuse, I’ll be very upset.” Quan Jingwu saw through her thoughts, his lips curled into a smile.
“But this necklace…”
“This necklace was originally meant for my future wife.” Quan Jingwu cut her off, tenderly helping her put on the necklace.
“Wait, who’s your future wife?” Jian Qing snapped back to reality, looking down at the necklace around her neck, attempting to remove it.
If she were to wear this necklace, wouldn’t that mean she would automatically accept the position as his wife?
He might be smart, but she wasn’t dumb either.
