Jiang Jingxing was unusually serious. "Ayan, I'm serious. I'm not joking. This is my first time dating. If I do anything wrong, you must tell me and give me a chance to correct it."

Su Yan felt a warm glow in her heart and chuckled softly, "Okay, if I do anything wrong, you have to tell me too."

"No, my Ayan will always be the best."

The man spoke without hesitation, and the value he placed in his words was undeniable.

Su Yan blinked, thinking to herself, "This man said he's never been in a relationship, so how come he can spout cheesy pickup lines so easily?"

"Ayan, there's something I'd like to ask for your opinion on."

"What?"

"Would you be willing to take me to meet my grandfather?" Jiang Jingxing asked tentatively, then added, "It's okay if you're not willing; we can wait until things are more stable."

Su Yan was taken aback, not expecting the question to come so suddenly.

Realizing what she was doing, she asked, "Why are we meeting your grandfather? Where are your parents?"

"It doesn't matter whether I see them or not, my grandfather is the one who makes the decisions in our family."

Su Yan could tell that the voice on the other end had softened, so she asked, "Don't you have a good relationship with your parents?"

She didn't know much about the Jiang family, so she still needed to ask about the most basic information.

Jiang Jingxing: "Yes, those women were all given to me on their own initiative. Ayan, I won't let them hurt you. Can you trust me?"

Su Yan raised an eyebrow. "I believe in you. Don't let me down. But Jingxing, if I meet your grandfather with you, it means we're going to be together for life. Otherwise, I won't go. Have you really thought this through? Once it's decided, you won't have a chance to back out."

“I’ve thought it through very clearly, I want to marry you,” Jiang Jingxing said solemnly. “If you’re willing, I can submit the marriage application right away.”

Su Yan rolled her eyes. "I'm only 18! I haven't even officially started university yet. Commander Jiang, aren't you a little too eager?"

Jiang Jingxing raised his eyebrows and said confidently, "As long as we love each other enough, age is a minor issue."

"..."

"Forget about marriage. You're all talk now, but who knows if you'll change after marriage? Let's talk about it for a while before discussing this topic. I'm going to Beijing after I go back from Guangzhou, so it's fine to visit your grandfather then."

"You're coming to Beijing?" Jiang Jingxing asked, puzzled.

Su Yan then realized that she hadn't told him about Grandma Tao recognizing her as her goddaughter. After explaining, she said, "That's how it is. By then, I'll be the Tao family's goddaughter, so your parents won't have too much of an opinion if they find out."

She doesn't care about other people's opinions about her relationship with Jiang Jingxing, but it would be best if she could get everyone's blessings.

Jiang Jingxing frowned. "Ayan, don't overthink it. Grandpa will respect my choice, and he will like you."

"I know," Su Yan changed the subject. "Will you come to the banquet hosted by the Tao family?"

Do you want me to come?

“Of course, I would like to announce our relationship there.”

If her relationship with Jiang Jingxing were made public, she would undoubtedly face difficulties from many rivals.

She's not afraid of trouble; anyone who dares to mess with her shouldn't blame her for being impolite.

As expected, this remark successfully pleased Commander Jiang.

He smiled and said, "If there's a chance to get a permanent position, I definitely can't miss it."

The two chatted for a long time. Su Yan told him that she was planning to buy a restaurant in Yangcheng. She thought she would be met with his disapproval and doubt, but Jiang Tuanxing said with great pride, "As expected of the woman I, Jiang Jingxing, have taken a liking to, she is really amazing!"

Su Yan chuckled, "That's right. Serve me well from now on, and I'll give you the chance to be a kept woman."

"I understand."

The girl's silvery laughter echoed in the hotel corridor; anyone could tell she was in a good mood.

Su Yan had just hung up the phone and was about to go back to her room when a voice suddenly came from downstairs, "Miss Su? Were you the one laughing just now?"

Su Yan looked over and saw the person standing at the bottom of the stairs. She coughed lightly, feeling a little embarrassed. "Was I laughing too loud just now? Was I disturbing the neighbors?"

Wu Feifan walked up and said, "Laugh if you want to. With me here, no one will dare to make things difficult for you. I was just looking for you. What have you been doing all morning? I've been looking for you several times."

"Huh? I went out to run some errands and just got back. What do you need me for?" Su Yan asked, puzzled.

"Third Master is hosting a party at the Oriental Pearl Tower tonight. It's going to be delicious, fun, and lively. He asked me to invite you and your friends to come and have some fun."

Upon hearing this, Su Yan's first reaction was to refuse. She waved her hand and said, "I don't really like lively occasions. I'm sorry, but could you please apologize to Third Master for me?"

It's one thing that she doesn't want to come into contact with dangerous individuals.

Furthermore, she felt that her relationship with Third Master was not yet at the point where he could invite her to a party.

"Ah?" Wu Feifan grabbed his hair in a panic, looking like he was about to cry. "But Third Master said he absolutely has to invite you over, otherwise I'll get a beating. Miss Su, please go, just to help me out this once."

Su Yan?

She stared wide-eyed in astonishment and said, "Why does he still want you to take the beating? Isn't that making things difficult for you? You should ask Sixth Master for help. You're Sixth Master's man; if anyone should be beaten, it should be Sixth Master who beats you."

Wu Feifan said in despair, "Sixth Master went somewhere else last night, so he probably won't be attending tonight's party."

Su Yan: "..." Then I think I definitely can't go.

If she goes.

She is even more dangerous than Wu Feifan.

But considering that she still owed Wu Feifan a favor, she couldn't bring herself to stand by and watch him die.

After much hesitation, she asked, "Third Master, you're just letting me go, right? You don't have any other requests?"

“No, that’s all,” Wu Feifan said. “Third Master only became curious about you because he saw how much Sixth Master protected you.”

Su Yan: "..." So, it's Sixth Master who deserves to die?

"Then I'll just show my face and leave quietly, and you have to stay by my side and protect me, is that okay?"

Wu Feifan immediately beamed with joy, "No problem, I'll have someone bring the dresses over later for you to try on."

After saying that, fearing that Su Yan might change her mind, he turned around and ran away in a flash.

Su Yan couldn't refuse the dress even if she wanted to; something just felt off.

However, she didn't have time to think too much and went back to her room to start drawing the design of the clothes.

She's been so busy lately that she's afraid she'll forget about it, so she'd better finish the drawing and send it out as soon as possible to put her mind at ease.

Because they were going to a party that evening, the three of them didn't go out for dinner and planned to eat something at the party instead.

Su Yan finished drawing from the afternoon until Wu Feifan delivered the dress.

Open the door.

A rectangular clothes rack filled with a dazzling array of gowns was pushed in, followed by a makeup artist carrying a makeup bag.
