Do You Want to Marry Me?

Chapter 10

When Lu An replied to her again, eight hours had already passed. Lu: “I fell asleep.” Jin Nian had woken up two hours ago. The sky outside was a little gloomy, and the sun had hidden in the dark clouds. Everything in front of her was gray and there was no sign of the vitality of the morning. She had been waiting for Jiang Qingchi to contact her, but after a whole night, there was no news from Jiang Qingchi. Today was the day of the engagement banquet. In the wee hours of the morning, her mother sent her another long-winded exhortation. “Jiang Qingchi is considered to have some achievements now, but you’ve been with him for so many years… ” “I spent a lot of effort to get someone to book this hotel. What are they dissatisfied with? Do you think it’s expensive?” “Jiang Qingchi’s mother… I always feel that she’s not an easy person to talk to.” All the relatives who had interacted with Jiang Qingchi praised him. Only Jin Nian’s mother, Tan Siyun, was not very satisfied with her future son-in-law.

During the six years that Jin Nian had been with Jiang Qingchi, Jiang Qingchi had been very polite to Jin Nian’s family. He had greeted them with all the proper etiquette during the holidays. However, when she found out that Jin Nian and Jiang Qingchi were together, Tan Siyun was extremely unwilling. Tan Siyun said to her daughter very straightforwardly, “Never grow up with a poor kid.” In the end, she despised Jiang Qingchi’s poor family background. Ever since she was young, Jin Nian had always thought that her mother was the one who understood her the most. She had never expected that her mother, who had once been an outstanding teacher at the provincial level, would be so shallow in this aspect.

So what if the conditions were a little worse? Not everyone had the chance to be born in Rome. Moreover, to be able to rely on his own ability to walk to Rome and change his fate, that was a true ability. Perhaps she was rebellious, or perhaps she really liked Jiang Qingchi, Jin Nian patted her chest and promised her mother: “Jiang Qingchi will achieve great things sooner or later. Just you wait and see!” Fortunately, Jiang Qingchi did not let everyone down. However, Tan Siyun was still not satisfied with Jiang Qingchi, who had already made a name for himself. She found fault with Jiang Qingchi’s parents for being stingy in their words and handling of matters. She found fault with Jiang Qingchi’s hometown being too far away. She found fault with his uncultured mother for being like a nouveau riche…

In the end, Jin Nian’s father, Jin Chengwen, could not stand it anymore. He said that she was obviously finding fault on purpose. At 8:10am, Jin Nian got up. The person in the mirror did not look well after staying up late last night. She was about 25 or 26 years old and did not look energetic. Jin Nian poured herself a cup of black coffee and downed it in one gulp before she started to wash up and put on makeup. Suddenly, there was a knock on the door. Jin Nian went to open the door with a mud mask on her face. Jiang Qingchi rushed over. Jiang Qingchi was still wearing the same clothes that Jin Nian had seen at the airport yesterday. There was a faint green stubble on his chin, and a strong sense of fatigue was written on his face. There was nothing wrong with his facial features. At most, his appearance added a sense of decadence. “I was busy last night and signed a contract with a super big IP. I’ll be busy day and night again. ” Jiang Qingchi sighed and walked to the entrance to change his shoes.

Jin Nian’s grievance that had been accumulated for the whole night was instantly replaced by heartache. She bent down to find slippers for Jiang Qingchi. The two of them did not live together, but Jiang Qingchi would come to Jin Nian’s place to eat from time to time. There were many personal belongings that belonged to him at home. Jiang Qingchi was the one who suggested not living together before marriage. He felt that it would not be good for Jin Nian. Jiang Qingchi was the same age as Jin Nian, and the industry he was engaged in was relatively new. However, he was actually a very old-fashioned person. His whole family was Christian. There were many rules to follow, such as praying devoutly before going to bed at night and not lying. Jin Nian did not have any faith, but she respected Jiang Qingchi.

“Do you want to rest for a while?” Jin Nian looked concerned.

Jiang Qingchi waved his hand and poured a glass of water from the kitchen. He said, “I only came to see you. I’m heading home to take a shower and change later. There are too many things to do today.” After he finished drinking the water, he held the cup in his hand and unconsciously rubbed the cup with his fingers: “I rushed over immediately after I was done with my work. I just wanted to clarify what I did not finish yesterday.”

Jin Nian could not help but be stunned. Jiang Qingchi frowned. “Go wash your face first. It looks strange.” Jin Nian did not know what was strange about the facial mask, but she still obediently washed her face. “I really ran into Xu Tian by chance yesterday,” Jiang Qingchi said calmly. “She was sitting next to me.”

“That’s quite a coincidence.” Jin Nian forced a smile.
