Guo Lan could tell that Shen Jue wasn’t angry, not even a hint of dissatisfaction.
Thinking about this, Guo Lan felt that having Rong Qingqing in the family indeed brought a lot of liveliness.
"Ah Jue," Guo Lan called out to Shen Jue, who was sitting there drinking tea, and asked, "When are you and Qingqing getting engaged?"
Guo Lan genuinely liked Rong Qingqing from the bottom of her heart now and hoped she could marry in sooner.
Shen Jue’s hand noticeably paused while holding the cup.
The tea in the cup trembled out, burning the tip of his finger. Get full chapters from novelFirｅ.net
It seemed to have also burned deep into his heart.
Shen Jue thought, it’s time to consider this question.
Seeing Shen Jue remain silent, Guo Lan thought he was opposed to the idea of getting engaged and offered some advice.
"Don’t think of engagement as a restriction. As long as your feelings for Qingqing are good, getting engaged won’t change your life. What’s most important is to formalize the relationship; then Qingqing living at Shen Manor would be truly legitimate."
Guo Lan said, "Aren’t you afraid of people gossiping about Qingqing when she goes out?"
"Most importantly, Qingqing is wonderful. Hurry up and finalize the engagement; otherwise, she might run away." Guo Lan laughed, "Qiaoqiao has been talking endlessly about introducing her Teacher Lin to Qingqing. If you get engaged to Qingqing, Qiaoqiao won’t bring it up again."
Shen Jue was silent for a while.
Then he responded with a hmm.
"I understand, I’ll find an opportunity to ask her." Shen Jue felt deeply that his mother’s words made sense.
Lin Bufan sat humbly throughout, not daring to seek any presence.
He thought that after the madam said this, the boss would certainly object as he usually does.
Heh, how could I possibly marry her?
But instead, Lin Bufan waited and waited, only to hear his boss nod and reply with a hmm.
Lin Bufan looked at his boss several times, pondering that the boss was certainly disapproving inside, but for appearances’ sake, he had to give the madam some respect, so he must be humoring her.
"That’s good, you’ve started preparing for your wedding house renovation; it’s time for the engagement." Guo Lan was very pleased with Shen Jue’s response.
Rong Qingqing was in the kitchen watching Nanny Zhao cook, while Shen Qiao wasn’t interested, and came out from the study where she dropped her purchase after entering the room.
She ran over to Shen Jue and whispered in his ear, "Brother, I have great news to tell you. Our Teacher Lin can afford to support Sister Qingqing!"
After saying this, Shen Qiao sat beside Shen Jue with a proud look on her face.
With her chubby face up, she looked at Shen Jue challengingly and even crossed her legs.
"Last night at the Zhao Family banquet, Teacher Lin saw Sister Qingqing. They even sat together eating fruit and chatting for a while."
Shen Qiao’s intelligence was precise, "Teacher Lin is President Zhao’s nephew, Teacher Lin’s mother is President Zhao’s sister. My Teacher Lin’s family is wealthy, and Teacher Lin himself is wealthy."
"No matter if Sister Qingqing spends a million or ten million a day, Teacher Lin can afford it." Shen Qiao was nearly giddy, "I think Teacher Lin and Sister Qingqing are becoming more and more compatible."
Reminded by Shen Qiao, Shen Jue suddenly recalled that last night when Rong Qingqing got into trouble, he indeed saw the guy from the photo behind Zhao Junxi.
The guy only ages, but his face barely changed from the photo.
When Shen Jue saw the photo earlier, he felt it looked familiar, and with Shen Qiao’s comment, he remembered seeing this person at the Zhao Family banquet last night.
