Chapter 2318: You are the best gift (24)
“Great-grandfather, I’ve only known brother Fan for a short time and we’ve only just started dating. Isn’t it a little too soon to talk about marriage?”Zhong Rui Shu averted her gaze from Fan Fan’s face and spoke under pressure.
“What’s there to be unhappy about? You two have always been dating for the purpose of getting married. Now that the two of you like each other, the earlier we settle the marriage, the better it will be for me and your great-grandfather’s worries,”old master fan said kindly.
With that, he looked at the Zhong family’s old master who was sitting beside him.
Old Master Zhong nodded in agreement.
Stroking his beard, he teased, “The earlier you settle the marriage, the better. If you get married early, perhaps the two of US old men will have the chance to see the birth of your child. Fan Fan, you are a boy, what do you think?”
“…”
Fan Fan’s palm tightened, his thin lips pursed tightly. He looked away from f.a.n.n.y, and a complicated look appeared in his eyes.
Some people were destined not to be his from the start.
He had never thought about it, and he was not willing to lie to himself.
When he found out that his family was going to arrange a blind date for him, he could not refuse, but he had made up his mind to tell the other party everything.
To his surprise, the other party had the same thoughts as him..
His relations.h.i.+p with Zhong Rui Shu was to comply with the wishes of his elders, and it was also an agreement with her.
He did not want to marry her, and neither did she.
If the two of them got together and pretended to be each other’s other half, they could avoid a lot of trouble.
They had long agreed that if the other party met someone they liked and wanted to be together, they would announce a peaceful break-up when the time came.
However, no one expected that old master fan, who had always lived abroad, would suddenly return to the country and personally come to the Zhong family to settle the marriage.
Dating was different from talking about marriage.
Once they had agreed to it, the two families would have to start preparing for the wedding.
The fan family and the Zhong family were both prominent figures in the business world. The marriage between the two families would definitely be reported in the newspapers. When the news got out, it would be a foregone conclusion.
Now that the elders of both families were here, there were still many relatives and friends of the Zhong family. If fan fan fan rejected the marriage, it would be embarra.s.sing for Zhong Rui Shu in front of everyone.
Fan Yu had taught him to be a gentleman since he was young and to take care of his younger siblings. He could not say anything that would embarra.s.s Zhong Rui Shu.
But if he did not say anything, it would mean that he had tacitly agreed to the marriage..
“Great-grandfather, can we just let the matter between brother Fan and I go with the flow?”Zhong Rui Shu had never liked to talk, but now that she realized fan fan fan’s difficulties, she had already spoken in front of him twice in a row.
However, the two old men ignored her, thinking that she was shy about her marriage.
She continued to ask fan fan with a smile.
“Fan fan, everyone is here to watch. Tell me yourself, do you want to marry Rui Shu?”
After the two old men finished speaking, the living room fell into silence.
Everyone’s eyes were focused on fan fan, waiting for his answer.
Including fan Ni.
The smile on her face was almost gone.
Seeing the joy and antic.i.p.ation in the eyes of the people around her, she just wanted to run away from this place, not wanting to hear another word.
But she couldn’t leave.
“Fan Fan?”Old Master Fan, who had been waiting for a long time for an answer, lowered his voice.
Many of the elders of the Zhong family around them began to whisper among themselves.
“…”fan fan’s hands, which were hanging by his side, subconsciously clenched into fists.
His thin lips were tightly pursed.
He could not answer this question.
Once he asked for the marriage to be postponed, the elders would definitely ask for a reason. However, this reason was a secret that he could not tell them.
