Chapter 46 Marriage Proposal

After Jiang Yuyan sent Qin Shangyu back, she went to the Qionghua Tower in the capital and selected four pieces of jade. She returned to the Jiang Mansion at sunset.

At this moment, the lights were on in the house, but the yard was quiet.

Jiang Yuyan took a deep breath, thought to herself, "If I stick my head out, I'll get hurt. If I shrink my head back, I'll get hurt too." Then she strode into the main room.

Sure enough, Xiao Yuanyan was sitting beside the round table, waiting for her with an unclear expression. It seemed that he knew what happened today.

Jiang Yuyan felt guilty and smiled awkwardly to divert attention: "Yuan Lang, how is Qiuxia Manor's progress recently?"

The soap workshop will be their family's biggest business in the future. Jiang Yuyan doesn't trust others, so Xiao Yuanyan has been personally monitoring the progress recently.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Yuanyan ignored her words.

Jiang Yuyan panicked, "Yuanlang, please listen to my explanation."

Jiang Yuyan thought to herself, "She really speaks like a scumbag."

"Why would you do such a dangerous thing? Do you know what the consequences would be if you offended the princess like this?"

When Xiao Yuanyan heard that she was confronting the princess with a sword in the street, he was so scared that he lost his soul. He was worried that she would be injured and hated by others. There seemed to be pain in his eyes, "If you...if something happens to you, where will we be?"

Jiang Yuyan didn't expect that he was angry for this reason. Seeing the pain in his eyes, she knew that she had hurt this man's heart, so she had to explain hesitantly: "I didn't think about anything at the time. I just saw Qin Shangyu being bullied by the princess, and I really couldn't bear to abandon him..."

Xiao Yuanyan's face darkened after hearing this. "So, Qin Shangyu is more important to you than any of us, right? So, you don't hesitate to put yourself in danger!"

"No! No! I would do the same if any of you were in this situation. A Yan, don't doubt me..." Jiang Yuyan hurriedly explained.

"If I ever fall to the point where I need your protection, I would rather commit suicide than let you get hurt in the slightest!" Xiao Yuanyan said coldly.

Jiang Yuyan felt a pain in her heart when she heard his words, "What nonsense are you talking about?!"

"You think I'm important to you, but you're not important to me? If anything goes wrong with you, can I live the rest of my life peacefully? Xiao Yuanyan, how dare you say that!"

Jiang Yuyan became angrier and angrier as she spoke. "Or do you think that as a woman, I should hide under your wings and be a worthless person who can't take on any responsibility?!"

"You..." Xiao Yuanyan was speechless, his nails digging into the flesh of his palms, and he felt like he couldn't breathe.

The two of them were silent. Jiang Yuyan's marriage was also delayed.

When it was time to rest at night, the two lay side by side without speaking to each other.

Jiang Yuyan knew that this man was prone to self-torture, and finally couldn't bear it, so she gently pinched his arm and took the initiative to beg for mercy.

"Ayan... Yuanlang... my dear husband... don't be angry..."

Xiao Yuanyan felt sore and weak after being addressed by her in a delicate manner. He felt defeated in his heart, but he just kept his head down and said nothing.

Jiang Yuyan touched his hair and sighed, "Yuanlang, I cherish everyone who treats me well. You are really important to me. Don't say those words about committing suicide anymore. It hurts me... I promise you that I will protect myself, but sometimes I also want to protect you to the best of my ability... This is just a normal reaction between lovers..."

Hearing her say this, Xiao Yuanyan was stunned, his heart ached. He turned around and hugged her tightly, comforting her silently.

In fact, his wife is the best woman in the world, and she treats her husband sincerely. Logically, he should be happy and proud, but because he cares too much about her, he is afraid that she will hurt herself accidentally...

Xiao Yuanyan sighed and said, "Forget it, let's be more careful next time."

"Yeah!" Jiang Yuyan knew that the matter was over, so she hugged him and kissed him twice. Then she carefully told him about her marriage with Qin Shangyu.

Xiao Yuanyan said: "It's up to you to decide."

Jiang Yuyan was moved and sympathetic, and took the initiative to offer her enthusiasm...

On the second day, Jiang Yuyan went to visit the Qin family, bringing four engagement gifts and gifts for relatives and friends.

Qin Shangyu's foot was still injured, but he stood outside the door waiting for her. When he saw her get off the car, he immediately limped over to her.

Jiang Yuyan quickly supported him and said angrily, "You need to take care of your foot for a while, don't you want it to get better?!"

Qin Shangyu smiled but said nothing. In the past, he had never dared to imagine that one day he would be able to hold her hand, but now, every dream had come true.

Because this was the engagement of the eldest son of the Qin family, Qin's father and mother returned to the Qin residence in the capital to wait. Some relatives and friends of the Qin family also sat on one side.

Perhaps because Qin Shangyu had already warned them before, Qin's father and mother seemed to have no grudges and smiled very gently.

Jiang Yuyan distributed gifts to everyone, then sat aside politely and waited for them to speak.

Qin Shangyu sat beside her, looking at her intently, with such tenderness in his eyes that it seemed as deep as the Milky Way.

Seeing their eldest son's appearance, Qin's father and mother were filled with emotion. They thought they had missed their marriage, but they never thought they could renew their relationship in the capital. Now that they had gotten what they wanted, what else could parents say?

"It's already the twelfth lunar month, and you'll be seventeen in twenty days. Why don't we keep things simple and get married before the New Year?" Qin's father asked gently.

Jiang Yuyan pondered for a moment. Logically, she should have married two more men this year. However, as the young lady of the Wu Wang Mansion and a newcomer to the capital, she was not included in the routine population check by the government, so no one intervened. Now that this marriage was just right, she nodded and agreed.

"I'm afraid that Shang Yu would be wronged by this."

Qin's father and mother smiled at each other and said, "We decided on an auspicious date last night, which is the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month. It's just right that we can celebrate the New Year at my Qin's house this year."

As the happy event was approaching, everyone laughed.

Qin Shangyu lowered his head slightly, his ears were bloodshot.

Jiang Yuyan was also a little embarrassed.

Then I heard Qin's mother say: "We have been preparing the betrothal gifts in a hurry. Now we can probably gather 48 pieces. We still have some time to add more. What do you think?"

Jiang Yuyan nodded, not really caring.

Qin's father and mother had heard that their daughter-in-law had a good temper, and now seeing that she was so easy to talk to, they were relieved.

Qin Shangyu felt a little guilty. He saw the wedding at Prince Wu's mansion and felt that he had treated her unfairly.

Jiang Yuyan winked at him and whispered softly, "It doesn't matter. I can make money. I don't care about the betrothal gifts!"

Qin Shangyu smiled. His Wanwan was really different.

Since the wedding date is approaching, all kinds of procedures have to be carried out. Money makes things easier. The Qin family is a century-old family and is familiar with all kinds of etiquette procedures. Arranging personnel, preparing wedding banquets, distributing invitations, and various purchases are all carried out in an orderly manner.

Qin Shangyu wanted to sew the wedding dress for her by herself. Thinking of the first time he sewed the wedding dress for her, this time he felt only sweetness in his heart, without any bitterness…
