After rebirth, she doesn't lick, and the boss Kuku slaps her in the face

"what did he say?"

Old Master Tan couldn't believe his ears. He even turned back to look at the housekeeper a few times, wondering if he was so old that he was deaf and blind.

Because not only were the grandson's words surprising, but there was even a hint of blush on his usually expressionless face.

This is outrageous!

"Master Tan has grown up." The butler said with a smile.

The 'how to get engaged' that my master has been talking about for years is finally about to come true.

"You little brat, your eyes are finally no longer in the sky!"

“……” The butler just smiled and said nothing.

Tan Yan seemed not to notice the sarcasm in his grandfather's words.

His face was full of seriousness, and he looked like he was anxiously waiting for an answer.

When has Mr. Tan ever seen his grandson have such an expression?

He put away his smile and his expression turned serious, "Are you serious?"

Tan Yan answered without any hesitation, "Grandpa, I am sure now that I love her!"

He had never been as sure as he was now.

"I finally like it..." Mr. Tan murmured.

It seems that Hengyu was right to let Xiaoxi go.

It's only been a few months, and the relationship has developed so quickly that they are already talking about marriage.

Although it could be seen from his grandson's expressions and actions that he was different from before.

But I just thought it was due to the bad nature of men.

The saying that what you can't get is the best has always been a bad habit that men can't get rid of.

As for how he knew that his grandson might not be able to "get" Xiao Xi.

Because not long after Xiao Xi went to Hengyu, she came here with Old Man Jiang once, and it was obvious that the emotion in her eyes was different from before.

In the past, when she came here, she always went to the back of the yard first.

She and Tan Yan often went there to play when they were children. Maybe for her, it is a place full of memories.

Only that time I didn't do that, and I even kept resisting looking there.

After all, he has lived for most of his life and has eaten more salt than the children have eaten grains of rice. How could he not see the frustration in Xiaoxi's eyes?

That’s why we think that Tan Yan’s series of actions were subconscious reactions to Xiao Xi’s uncharacteristic behavior.

Unexpectedly, he really liked it.

"Okay, I get it, but I need to discuss the engagement you mentioned with Old Ginger first."

Tan Yan's face was tense, and he said anxiously: "Grandpa... wait until all the elders agree to this matter, then tell Xi Meng..."

His voice trailed off.

Finally, he even scraped his temple with his index finger to avoid showing his guilty conscience.

He didn't dare to let Xi Meng know. If she heard that he was planning to get engaged, she would definitely run away overnight.

He didn't want his heart to be frightened again.

That day she dropped off a letter of resignation and suddenly disappeared.

From the moment he saw the resignation letter, he could clearly feel something hitting his heart so hard that even his breathing was about to stop.

Her hands were shaking when she called to ask Jiang Mulin where she was.

When he learned that Jiang Mulin didn't know where she was going, he became extremely anxious.

After searching all over the city for places she could go, I started checking train and flight schedules, and only then did I realize that she had gone to another city.

Fortunately... fortunately I didn’t run too far.

"it is good."

Old Master Tan couldn't help but feel his eyes sunken when he saw his grandson, who had always been decisive and ruthless, acting like a young boy.

Once upon a time, he was just like him.

I like it, I don't know how to express it...

-

Tan Yan thought the engagement would take ten days or half a month to discuss.

Unexpectedly, the next day after he proposed it, the Jiang family nodded in agreement.

The parents on both sides have watched their children grow up, and they understand their personalities and temperaments. Of course, they are very willing to see the two get together.

Especially the grandfathers of the two families, who arranged a verbal marriage for the children shortly after they were born. Of course, they were more than willing to do so.

Now that everyone agrees, it's time to notify the 'party concerned'...

It's Sunday.

The Tan and Jiang families agreed to meet at Yan'an Pavilion.

Jiang Ximeng thought that everyone had time and could get together for a simple meal.

until……

"Grandpa?" Jiang Ximeng suddenly stood up from her seat.

What do you mean by arranging her engagement with Tan Yan? Why didn’t she receive any advance notice of this?

She glared at the man next to her, he must have done this secretly.

She felt strange when she heard him say he was coming here yesterday.

Why was it Tan Yan who informed her instead of her family members when the two families came out to eat together?

But she was a lazy person and didn't think about it carefully at that time.

Now I see, wow, love is waiting here!

Everyone could see Jiang Ximeng's rejection.

Lin Meng happened to be sitting on the other side of her and secretly pulled her daughter's hand.

He shook it and whispered, "Xiao Xi?"

Lin Meng could only see her daughter every weekend, and their contact was rare, so naturally she didn't know that her daughter had been avoiding Tan Yan for some time.

She thought that Xiaoxi had always loved him deeply, so she was confused.

"Mom, I..." Jiang Ximeng hesitated to speak.

Grandpa Tan was there too, so she couldn't say no.

Even so, she couldn't be forced to accept an engagement against her will.

It's not that she is being pretentious. After spending some time with him, her opinion of Tan Yan has changed.

Especially after the intimate incident a few days ago, she tried to convince herself once again and let go of the fear in her heart.

Don't cater to it, don't refuse it, just let it go...

She hasn't figured it out yet.

But Tan Yan did this to her!

If it were her in her previous life, she would definitely be extremely happy if Tan Yan proposed the engagement she had always dreamed of.

But things are different now.

When it comes to love, she would rather be on the same starting point as him.

It's not a pleasant feeling that everyone knows about this but she is the only one kept in the dark.

She wanted an equal relationship, not for him to take the initiative.

Besides... she didn't think that their relationship was strong enough for them to get married, so she felt a little uncomfortable.

"Grandpa Jiang, Grandpa, Uncle Jiang, Aunt Jiang, Mu Lin, I toast you."

Tan Yan suddenly stood up, picked up the wine glass with both hands, clinked glasses with everyone in the air, and drank it all in one gulp.

Jiang Ximeng's heart tightened when she saw this.

This is white wine, at least two taels per cup. He drank it all in one breath. Is he crazy?

Mr. Tan followed up by saying, "Come on, today's dish is... everyone come and try it."

"it is good……"

Everyone tried to act as naturally as possible, but from the moment Jiang Ximeng stood up, it was bound to be awkward.

Of course, the most embarrassed or sad person should be Tan Yan.

There was no extra expression on his face. Instead, he put the large piece of fish with the bones removed onto Jiang Ximeng's plate.

"This is the fish that was shipped in this morning. Do you want to taste it?"

Tan Yan looked at her with a smile, as if nothing had happened.

Jiang Ximeng: Why do I feel a little guilty?

She didn't mean it...

I stood up on impulse without thinking about the consequences.

Although he didn't say anything to refuse, silence was more powerful than words.

Unlike Jiang Ximeng's guilt, both parents are fine. Over the years, first Tan Yan disliked Jiang Ximeng, and now Jiang Ximeng silently rejected Tan Yan.

Everyone felt only regret and tried their best to smooth things over.

After all, I don't want the two children to have difficulty seeing each other in the future.

Jiang Ximeng bit her lower lip, feeling guilty but not wanting to agree to the engagement against her will.

This was a matter of life and death, and especially after her experiences in her past life, she hesitated for a long time before taking each step and did not dare to make any hasty decisions.
