Chapter 632: Let’s Get Engaged

Jian Yiling nodded.

Suddenly, Zhai Yunsheng closed the distance between Jian Yiling. The distance between their faces was less than ten centimeters.

“What about now?” Zhai Yunsheng asked.

Jian Yiling quickly stepped back as she attempted to maintain her distance from Zhai Yunsheng.

Then, she said: “It will beat fast.”

“What will beat fast?” Zhai Yunsheng asked. As he asked this question, Zhai Yunsheng’s heart was also beating rapidly.

Fortunately, he was not wearing a device on his hand at this moment. If he did, the device would have gone off by now.

“Here.”

Jian Yiling said as she placed her hand on her heart.

Her heart would beat rapidly.

Upon seeing this, Zhai Yunsheng began to laugh.

He was extraordinarily happy.

“Why are you laughing?” She was curious about why Zhai Yunsheng was laughing.

“Because I’m happy,” Zhai Yunsheng replied. The smile on his face could not have been more obvious.

“Why are you happy?”

“Hmm, no reason in particular.”

Then, after pausing for a moment, Zhai Yunsheng called out Jian Yiling’s name. “Yiling.”

“Hmm?”

Zhai Yunsheng lowered his head and dropped a kiss on Jian Yiling’s forehead.

“It’s warm,” Jian Yiling said as she placed her hand on her forehead. She lightly touched the place that she was kissed.

When Zhai Yunsheng saw Jian Yiling’s actions, he began to smile again.

In his eyes, even doing such a small thing was incredibly adorable.

“Yiling,” Zhai Yunsheng called out again. He himself did not know why he was calling out her name.

“Hmm?”

“Say my name as well.”

“Zhai Yunsheng.”

“Don’t say my surname.”

Did he want to be called Yunsheng?

Jian Yiling attempted to say Yunsheng. However, she failed to do so.

“Hmm, you can call me A Sheng[1] as well. From time to time, my grandpa and uncle call me that.”

A Sheng...

It was even more difficult for her to say those words.

“Just once,” Zhai Yunsheng coaxed.

Jian Yiling was a little embarrassed but she still attempted to say those words.

“A... A Sheng...”

After a long time, she managed to say “A Sheng.” However, her voice was softer than a mosquito buzz.

As she said this, Jian Yiling did not dare to look directly at Zhai Yunsheng.

Then, Zhai Yunsheng called out Jian Yiling’s name for the third time.

“Hmm?”

“Let’s get engaged.”

They were both strange individuals. As a result, the speed of their relationship did not have to comply with the rest of the world.

They could develop their feelings after they got engaged.

“Huh?” Jian Yiling said as she gazed into Zhai Yunsheng’s eyes.

“Don’t you want me to be responsible for you? Then, I’ll make sure that I’m responsible. We’re already living together. Therefore, it would be better if we were engaged. It would seem more justifiable.”

Jian Yiling paused for a moment before she nodded.

“Okay.”

Upon hearing this response, Zhai Yunsheng looked at Jian Yiling again. Did she understand what she was agreeing to?

Hmm, but at the very least, she still cared about him.

And that was already enough for him.

He no longer had a reason to let go of her hand.

Even if he used some despicable tactics, she was still under his care and protection.

“Wait. Say that again?!”

Master Zhai suspected that he was getting old. Was there a problem with his ears?

Did his grandson actually tell him that he was getting engaged?

“I said that I’m planning to get engaged with Yiling. Therefore, I need a guardian to be there. Will you be free?”

“Yes, yes. I’m definitely free. I’m free every single day! In fact, I’m free now. I couldn’t be freer! When do you need me to be there? Do you need me to bring some gifts? Would a few companies be enough?”

“Just bring yourself.”

“Okay, okay. When is it though?”

“Tomorrow.”

“Tomorrow? Okay! I will go and prepare now.”

Master Zhai was incredibly excited.

Their family was finally going to have a matriarch!

He was finally going to have a granddaughter-in-law!

He was so happy!

He had to do something to celebrate.

He definitely had to bring gifts. Master Zhai hurriedly asked his men to go and prepare gifts.

In fact, he had to prepare a lot of gifts!
