Chapter 81 - Big Brother Said He Will Marry Her! (1)
“AnAn being with me is neither a tomb nor a besieged fortress.”
To Nie AnAn, Huo YanXiao’s words seemed to have turned into something tangible – each and every single word had smashed onto her heart.
She felt that her heartbeat, which had just returned to normal, increased again, and her entire body became warm and was even burning up.
Having said that, Huo YanXiao no longer wished to talk with Nie ChengFeng and returned to his usual cold and arrogant attitude.
By then, Qin Hai, Father Nie, and Mother Nie were all walking over to them.
“Oh, Old Nie, why not today, eh? It seems both of these kids are interested in each other. We should just take this opportunity to formalize the betrothal!” said Qin Hai, his face flustered, seemingly very excited.
Father Nie, on the other hand, was more conservative. He looked at Nie AnAn and said, “AnAn, perhaps we want to talk about it some more at home?”
Mother Nie chimed in as well, “Yeah, it seems a little rush to formalize it today, so….”
They had just found their precious daughter and she had just turned 20. How could she get married so soon?
They could, of course, tell that Huo YanXiao had been very nice to Nie AnAn over the years. But when it came to a marriage, there were a lot more to consider. That was not something that they wanted to rush into.
Their daughter was still young and Huo YanXiao was good looking and looked to be a good strategist. It made sense that their daughter would have a crush on him.
Or, Nie AnAn wasn’t even sure what it’s like to like someone romantically. Perhaps she only said what she said today because she had gotten used to being around Huo YanXiao over the years.
Father Nie made the final decision. “Oh Qin, you are the host today. We should discuss this in detail on a different day. We would seem to take this more seriously that way.”
Qin Hai, on the other hand, wanted to nail this down as soon as possible. He turned to Huo YanXiao and asked, “YanXiao, what’s your thought on this?”
Huo YanXiao looked up, his look profound and straight forward, “AnAn is nice. I will be happy to marry her if she is willing to marry me.”
His words shocked not only Nie ChengFeng, even Nie AnAn’s eyes widened in surprise.
Did big brother just say he’d marry her?!
Hasn’t he always thought of her as a little kid? Did her insisting on having red wine and what she had stressed to him finally got through to him?
Nie AnAn’s little face was flustered. Even her ears turned a pink translucent color. She gave him a quick glance before she started counting the number of little holes that she had poked in the slice of cake in front of her.
Qin Hai was obviously very pleased with his son’s reply. His entire person was radiating, and he said, “Alright. Then our two families will sit down and discuss our kids’ marriage after you have some time to talk among yourselves.”
After he was done saying that, Qin Hai along with Father Nie and Mother Nie turned around to walk back. But Qin Hai had only taken about two steps before he was stopped by Qin Ziyi.
There was a strong feeling of injustice in the girl’s eyes. “Dad, you promised me. Why is it all different now?”
Qin Hai was in a great mood and didn’t chastise his daughter for being rude. He just smiled and apologized to the Nie’s before asking Qin Ziyi, “What did I promise you?”
“What I asked you to announce on the stage earlier was the betrothal between ChengFeng-ge and I!” said Qin Ziyi, her eyes reddened.
Even though Qin Hai didn’t pay her that much attention earlier, he figured out what she was talking about right away. He said to her thoughtfully, “Xiao Yi, you can’t control that boy ChengFeng. If he was interested in marriage, he would have agreed to it a long time ago ,and we wouldn’t be where we are right now. I didn’t announce it because I didn’t want to put you on the spot.”
Qin Ziyi pouted and said, “Are you saying that you won’t let me marry him?”
“But he still has to be willing to marry you!” Qin Hai felt that his head was throbbing. “Alright. Dad still has other guests to tend to. Why don’t you…”
Qin Ziyi interrupted him and said, “Okay, Dad, I don’t have to marry ChengFeng-ge, but you must promise me something else.”
She added quickly, “I want to go visit big brother YanXiao often and get close to him. That should be fine, right?”
Qin Hai looked baffled. He obviously didn’t understand what was going through his daughter’s mind.
Qin Ziyi, on the other hand, had already recovered from feeling down from the earlier incident. She took his silence as acquiesce. “Thanks Dad, I will go over every weekend going forward!”
Qin Ziyi looked very happy. She could have free meals in the future!
