After saying this, Xu Chuyuan couldn't help but look at He Jingxing, with some surprise in his eyes.

Huo Sihan, who was standing next to him, was also stunned.

Did they hear it wrong?

"Brother Jingxing, you, you don't have to force yourself..."

Xu Chuyuan was so surprised that he began to stutter.

They didn't expect that He Jingxing would actually say that.

He Jingxing looked at Xu Chuyuan tenderly and said in a gentle tone, "Don't worry, I don't feel forced in this matter."

Huo Yunze and his wife, as well as Huo Siting, seemed to be thinking about something after the initial surprise.

They knew He Jingxing.

His character seems to be as gentle as jade, but in fact, the decisions he makes are not easily influenced by anyone.

Otherwise, he wouldn't be so young and hold great power in the He Group.

And because of what he said, several people recalled the past, when his attitude towards Xu Chuyuan was different from that of others.

Huo Yunze and Xu Qingqiu also confirmed it at this time.

This kid, I’m afraid he has been interested in Chu Bao for a long time.

It seems that the marriage proposed by the He family couple just now was not a sudden whim!!!

Thinking of this, the three of them looked at each other...

To be honest, there are indeed many benefits to marrying into the He family.

Once the two families join forces, all of the Huo family's current crises may be resolved.

Moreover, their whole family likes He Jingxing very much.

After all, I have watched them grow up together and our two families are old friends.

Let's talk about He Jingxing alone. His character and ability are impeccable among all the children of noble families in Kyoto.

If he were chosen as the son-in-law, everyone in the Huo family would naturally be satisfied.

But the problem lies with my daughter.

Xu Qingqiu knew that his precious daughter did not have any romantic feelings for He Jingxing.

She only regards him as a brother.

That's why I rejected you so straightforwardly just now.

As Chubao's family, they feel too much guilt towards this child, and it is absolutely impossible for them to use Chubao's marriage as a bargaining chip.

Before she was recognized, Chu Bao was married to the Bo family by the Xu family. This marriage transaction caused her to be bullied and finally ended up in divorce, suffering a lot.

Now, how could they bear to let her sacrifice again?

The Huo family couldn't bear to see their daughter and sister like this...

Thinking of this, Huo Yunze opened his mouth and wanted to say something on the spot.

However, at this time, He Jingxing looked at Xu Chuyuan and said, "Chubao, can we talk alone?"

Xu Chuyuan's eyes flickered and he felt extremely conflicted.

To be honest, her mind was in a state of confusion at the moment because of this sudden marriage proposal.

But she never thought that she would have anything to do with He Jingxing...

But now the other party's words, "I don't mind marrying her" and "I don't feel forced", made her completely confused.

At this moment, hearing his suggestion, she could only nod.

He Jingxing breathed a sigh of relief, and then said to Huo Yunze, "Uncle Huo, I want to borrow the study room to talk to Chu Bao."

Huo Yunze looked at his daughter hesitantly. Seeing that she did not reject He Jingxing, he did not stop her. He said sternly, "Then you two can have a good talk."

He Jingxing nodded.

So the two of them quickly went to the study.

The door behind him closed, and Xu Chuyuan seemed to gradually come back to his senses and accept what He Jingxing had just said.

However, before she had time to think about how to talk to He Jingxing, she heard He Jingxing smile gently and said, "Did I scare you?"

Xu Chuyuan quickly shook his head and said, "Not really, but I was a little surprised."

She would never be as surprised as she is now about the marriage with anyone else.

But this person is He Jingxing...

Xu Chuyuan couldn't describe his feelings.

He Jingxing seemed to be able to sense her emotions.

He chuckled gently, then said, "Although it is a bit abrupt to propose a marriage today, I still hope that you can consider this proposal carefully."

Xu Chuyuan looked embarrassed.

She forced a smile and said, "Brother Jingxing, stop joking... This is not funny at all."

He Jingxing looked straight at her, his eyes were serious and focused.

He said in a steady voice, "Chu Bao, I'm not kidding. I'm serious about marrying you."

The smile on Xu Chuyuan's lips suddenly froze.

She didn't expect that on this topic, Brother Jingxing would change his usual gentle attitude and take such a firm stance.

She couldn't help but look up at him.

He Jingxing's expression was full of confidence and determination...

Xu Chuyuan couldn’t understand why.

Why would he want to marry me?

In the past, she never felt that he was interested in her.

Not to mention, I really only regard him as a brother.

Xu Chuyuan took a deep breath and felt that it was necessary to explain this matter to him clearly.

"Brother Jingxing, I...I'm sorry, I really can't agree to your request."

He Jingxing was not surprised to hear her refusal, but he still subconsciously asked: "Why? Can't you give me... a chance? I'm..."

He originally wanted to confess his feelings to Xu Chuyuan.

Because he did have other thoughts about her.

But just as he was about to say this, He Jingxing suddenly realized that he might be too anxious.

Don't be too anxious, or you'll scare people away...

Thinking of the surprise on her face not long ago, He Jingxing held back the words he wanted to confess.

He readjusted himself for a while, restored his previous gentle tone, and said: "I am very worried about you... and the current situation of the Huo family, so, Chu Bao, I hope you can give me a chance to help. Si Yu is now in danger of life and death. As a brother who grew up together, I have to find a way to help him share the current predicament."

When Xu Chuyuan heard this, there was a look of surprise in his eyes.

She looked at He Jingxing and always felt that he didn't mean that just now, as if he had changed his words abruptly.

But she couldn't ask the question thoroughly.

He Jingxing also noticed her gaze.

He smiled gently and said, "Chu Bao, you don't need to think too much. This marriage is just a means... or, in other words, a false appearance for outsiders. The Huo family is now on the verge of collapse, and it needs powerful means to stabilize the situation.

By marrying into the He family and forming a strong alliance, those people will no longer dare to provoke us! I think you have seen these days that Uncle Huo has made a lot of efforts, and your brothers and others have also been working hard for the company.

Your second and third brothers, although they both have strong business acumen, are lawyers and actors by profession. If they don't stay in the group all year round, they don't have enough prestige.

They have done everything they should and can do, but are still forced to this point. At this time, perhaps only you can break the dilemma..."

Xu Chuyuan was distracted for a moment as he listened to He Jingxing's words.

She pursed her lips and did not answer.

He Jingxing lowered his eyes, looking at her thoughtful expression, and then said: "I know that you may feel that getting married is very sudden, but... I can guarantee that this marriage will not bring you any trouble.

You can still do what you want, and even get a divorce after Huo's family gets through the difficult times."
