?Reading on mobile phone He Muqing looked utterly helpless, watching Wei Qingtian eagerly carry three bottles of Zui Xian Wine and dash off. The old man, a renowned figure in the People's Liberation Army, had surely experienced countless things throughout his life—yet he had sent his beloved granddaughter away just for three bottles of wine. Three bottles! Even if Qin Feng had been generous and filled each bottle generously, perhaps around one and a half pounds per bottle, it still amounted to just three. Qin, the young man, beamed with a mischievous smile—clearly, he had intended to make it real. He had expected the old man to retreat into his kitchen after receiving the wine, only to find that he had already stepped out before they even had a chance to speak. He took the cup from earlier, refilled it, and drank it down in one go. Sighing, he said something that nearly drove his granddaughter to the brink: "Those three bottles were hard-won—I didn’t drink them myself, so I’ll have to drink yours now!"
"Liang's face fell, completely at a loss for words. The old man's eyes once again settled on the wine bottle, where Qin, the young heir, swiftly snatched it away and said, 'This time, there's truly nothing left. Want to drink? Then go drink your own!' Only then did Fei Qingtian feel satisfied and leave, pausing to add, 'The two of you, enjoy your meal and drinks slowly. If the dishes fall short, just let the chef know—they'll make it up!' As Qin turned to leave, he called out, 'Grandpa, I'll be staying in that room tonight!' The old man turned back, glanced at his granddaughter, and replied, 'Is that really a problem? Just follow her, and you're set!' 'Grandpa, you're being too much! I—' Liang's words were still half out when the old man vanished like a breeze—so swift, so quick, considering he was already in his seventies or eighties.
What could the leader do? Qin Daxiao laughed even more, saying, "Qingqing, just accept your fate. You've already noticed—it's clear that your parents aren't giving up. The only person who can truly free you is your grandfather. But we can't deceive him either. Only when we're truly together will he stand by you!"
The woman huffed, "It's like the tiger just got kicked out of the front door and now a wolf is showing up at the back! How unfortunate is my life? I can't have one normal man—either I'm with the one I'm with, or I'm with you. Can't heaven just give me someone ordinary?"
Qin Daxiao shrugged, saying, "Just be content. I may not appeal to you, but I'm no ordinary talent—I'm a true elite. You've already met me. How could you possibly find someone else? After all, it's the same message: you just have to accept it. Maybe if you think about it from a different angle, being with me isn't so bad. At least, you'll become a cultivator with eternal youth and a long, healthy life. Hehe!"
"This is also the only reason that He's comforted himself, yet still, she finds it hard to accept such a resignation. She picks up the cup and sets it in front of him: 'Get me a cup, sister's going to go full throttle today!' Fine, wine strengthens the courage of a bear—let's go with it together.
He is the boyfriend that the He family had carefully selected for their daughter, and they had shown her photos to the family long ago—quite satisfied with the match. "Xiao Qing went to her grandfather's place," He Zhengjun smiled. "You know, Grandfather has always loved her, and as soon as he heard she had arrived, he called her before even finishing dinner!"
The handsome man also smiled. "Yes, everyone knows how much Grandfather adores his granddaughter. I'm sorry I didn't call you in advance—I should have done that before coming!"
"Never mind. We're not strangers," He Zhengjun said with great ease. In truth, he was still nervous—uncertain whether Grandfather could truly secure his daughter's hand.
He Fu's wife was upstairs. She hadn't come down to see the groom she had already favored, precisely because she too felt uncertain—what if her side made a good choice, only for something unexpected to happen on the daughter's side, leaving everyone with a less-than-ideal impression?
Guan Wenfeng continued, "Before I left home, my father asked me to pass on to you a thought—he hopes that I and Xiao Qing can finalize our engagement before the Spring Festival, and hold the wedding around May Day next year. What do you think, Uncle He?"
By this time, Uncle He's forehead was already beading with cold sweat. He chuckled and said, "I think that arrangement is quite good!"
"Uncle He agrees. I'll immediately tell my father." Guan Wenfeng reached for his phone in his pocket.
"Wait a moment," Uncle He quickly interjected, "I believe it would be beneficial if you and Xiao Qing meet in person before then. After all, it's your own matter as young people—sometimes, parents get involved too much and end up making things more complicated!"
Guan, the handsome young man, smiled and said, "Uncle He is absolutely right. Though we've been classmates since elementary school, I haven't actually seen Xiao Qing since middle school. How about this—tomorrow I'll visit Mr. Wei, and we'll have a chat together!"
"Couldn't it be that he's from a well-connected family? His mind is truly sharp—he managed to meet both the grandfather and the grandmother at once.
Master He nodded and said, "Good. I'll call the old man right away and have him wait at home tomorrow!"
Guan Wenfeng immediately asked, "I'm not sure what the old man prefers. I can't possibly go empty-handed, can I? Oh, and what about Xiao Qing? I'm not doing this just to present a gift—I'm meeting her for the first time. I'd like to make it a bit more formal, you know, the more gifts, the better!"
Master He glanced at the gifts on the tea table and began assessing the two young men in his mind. Indeed, Guan Wenfeng came out ahead. When Qin Feng arrived, he hadn't even thought to bring anything. Of course, Master He wasn't particularly interested in these trinkets—his initial impression was simply that Guan Wenfeng was stronger than Qin Feng. He didn't know that Qin Feng had already secured Wei Qingtian's approval, and after a night of intimacy with Master He, he'd turned the situation into a settled affair—leaving Gu
The two exchanged a few pleasantries, after which Guan stood up to bid farewell. Wei Lingshuang then descended to the second floor and asked, "Zhengjun, such a hurried arrangement to have the two children meet—won't there be any issues? After all, the elder hasn't given us a clear response yet."
Master He smiled and said, "Tomorrow Guan will go to the elder's place. With the elder personally in charge, there's no way any issues can arise. Rest assured—we've secured our daughter's future first lady!"
Wei Lingshuang nodded and replied, "I hope so. The elder is indeed quite particular—he never calls us, so we're hesitant to reach out on our own. His temper is quite formidable."
