To be frank, the Ji family wanted to call Si Boye over to see his attitude.
Niannian is only eighteen years old.
If she likes someone her own age, regardless of their family background, it's just a young girl experiencing first love and having a casual relationship; there's no need to pay too much attention to it.
However, if the other party is someone like Si Boye, who is at the pinnacle of power and wealth, and is also much older than Nian Nian, then they must be cautious.
Is he serious about Niannian, or is he just playing around?
But clearly, Si Boye's attitude was sufficient.
Although it was just a phone call from Niannian to summon him to the Si family, he also brought Old Master Si along—it's even possible that he picked up the old man from Jiangcheng within two hours, showing how much importance he attached to the matter.
A man rumored to be unruly and undisciplined, who had never even knelt before his own grandfather, knelt before Old Master Ji the moment he entered the door, even offering a rattan cane and begging to be beaten. If it weren't for his love for Niannian, how could he possibly do such a thing?
And that vault key, which directly gifted Niannian with over 5 billion in gold, was also a way of showing his attitude to the Ji family.
He will cherish it dearly.
It wasn't a spur-of-the-moment decision, nor was it just empty talk.
Everything I have can be hers, if she wants it.
[Your willingness to let me stay by her side is enough to give me the most precious treasure in the world.]
When he said this, Si Boye's expression was focused and serious.
The elderly Mr. Ji and his brothers, who were present, were all moved upon hearing these words.
Ji Xiuan frowned, sensing something was amiss, and looked over.
"Did you and Niannian really only meet because of that marriage ceremony, and then you often picked her up from school and took her out to eat, and that's how you fell in love with each other?"
Their sister has only been back in Jiangcheng for a short time. Even if she met Si Boye on her first day back, it's only been a little over two months.
In just over two months, all they did was pick her up from school and have meals together. Could a man like Si Boye, who is used to the world and indifferent to women, really fall so deeply in love with Nian Nian?
Niannian doesn't seem like someone who would fall in love easily.
I have a feeling that the two of them have been through more than just this.
"..."
Si Boye felt guilty for a moment.
It wasn't so easy to get away with it.
He and Niannian have been through so much together.
On the verge of danger, in a head-on confrontation, fraught with ambiguity, driven by frantic demands, and at a life-or-death moment.
But if the Ji family found out about this, they would only be more worried about entrusting Niannian to him.
However, he didn't want to lie to Niannian's family.
"Third Brother..."
At this moment, the girl beside him tugged at Ji Xiuan's sleeve.
Ji Xiuan sighed and patted his sister's head: "Alright, sweetie, you're already protecting her before we've even asked anything. Your third brother won't ask anymore."
My younger sister is older now, so she needs privacy.
No one wanted to talk about the details of their relationship in front of so many brothers and grandfathers.
"So, Lao Ji, you're willing to accept Bo Ye?"
Seeing the Ji family's reaction, Old Master Si knew that they did not object to the matter.
He couldn't help but beam with joy.
"I said that day that Niannian's birth chart and Bo Ye's birth chart are a rare and perfect match, and I also said several times to let them get to know each other and get engaged if they have feelings for each other."
"See, a match made in heaven is a match made in heaven, and now that saying has come true, hasn't it?"
"Since that's the case, there's no time like the present. As the two grandfathers, let's settle their affairs now."
"Let me think... how about we hold an engagement ceremony between our two families after some time, so that we have a marriage agreement? When Niannian wants to get married, we can then arrange the wedding."
Upon hearing this, Old Master Ji's eyes widened: "It's settled already? No way, that's too hasty."
"It's just an engagement, it puts my mind at ease. If Niannian doesn't want it anymore someday, or if she doesn't like my Bo Ye anymore, we can just cancel it."
Old Master Si leaned over and gestured to the butler to bring over the briefcase he had brought.
"Old Ji, I've brought you something good today."
"What is this?" Old Master Ji asked.
When the suitcase was opened, everyone was dazzled by what they saw.
Like Mr. Si, Mr. Ji also has a hobby of collecting antiques.
Inside the box were four or five priceless antiques. One of them was an ancient painting that Mr. Ji had longed to buy but had never been able to.
Grandpa Ji was astonished: "Good lad, this authentic work by Cheng Qian is actually in your hands?"
"If it weren't for my granddaughter-in-law, I wouldn't have bothered to bring it out to please you."
Old Master Si said with some pride, "Well, now that we've settled things for the two children, this box of treasures is all yours!"
Si Boye smiled slightly, giving a thumbs-up in his heart.
Sure enough, experience is the best teacher.
Although it seemed rushed, Grandpa had come with a trump card to control the situation.
Old Master Ji was at his wit's end. His old friend of decades, Old Si, really knew how to win him over.
However, the engagement will definitely depend on Niannian's wishes.
Before Grandpa Ji could even ask, Jiang Nian spoke up, "I do, Grandpa."
Ji Qiyue closed his eyes as if resigned to his fate.
As expected, a younger sister is hard to keep at home once she grows up.
This guy named Si Boye is indeed quite cunning; how could he have seduced Nian Nian like this!
"Very good, very good!" Old Master Si beamed with joy. "Then let's arrange this matter in a few days!"
At this moment, Old Master Ji suddenly remembered something and frowned: "Wait, I remember your daughter-in-law, who is Bo Ye's mother..."
Although the Si family is ruled by Old Master Si, and Si Boye is also a powerful figure, Madam Si is still alive and will become Nian Nian's mother-in-law in the future.
