Mr. Xiang was a connoisseur of tea. Upon seeing these two cans of tea, he knew they were quite valuable, even hard to buy with money. He quickly declined, saying, "This is too precious. No, no, we can't accept it."
"Uncle, you're too kind. It's nothing." Shen Muzhi didn't just give the gift randomly. When he came to the Xiang family that day, he noticed that the Xiang family's tea set was very exquisite. He guessed that there must be someone in the family who liked to drink tea, so he specially asked someone to find one a few days ago.
There was originally a Pu'er tea paste that cost four or five thousand yuan per gram, but considering what Xiang Zhilan had said before, we compromised and chose this Junshan Silver Needle.
"How could I possibly accept this?" Dad glanced at Mom discreetly.
Xiang Ma smiled helplessly. She knew best that her husband loved drinking tea and couldn't bear to put down good tea leaves. So she said, "Muzhi is just showing his appreciation, so please accept it."
“Yes, Uncle knows how to appreciate tea. It’s better than letting these tea leaves go to waste in my hands,” Shen Muzhi said casually.
Dad smiled happily and told Mom to take it and brew it.
Shen Muzhi glanced towards Zhi Lan's room and then asked his father knowingly, "Zhi Lan went on a business trip. Didn't she tell you?"
As Aunt Xiang brought out the freshly brewed tea, she said, "Yes, I was wondering why you came today. Didn't you contact Zhi Lan before you came?"
Upon hearing this, Shen Muzhi lowered his eyes slightly. He knew that Xiang Zhilan had already resigned, so how could she have gone on a business trip? She lied to her parents and left home, but she didn't go back. Where did she go? Could it be that she regretted running away?
"Uncle, Aunt, I've come to ask for your hand in marriage." Shen Muzhi put aside his wild thoughts and said seriously to Xiang's parents.
"A marriage proposal?!" Xiang's mother's eyes widened. She exchanged a glance with her husband, and then the two of them looked at Shen Muzhi.
“Perhaps Zhi Lan hasn’t found the right opportunity to tell you yet, but she has accepted my proposal and met my father. We’ve discussed holding our wedding in June with another couple we’re friends with,” Shen Muzhi said earnestly.
Xiang's parents simultaneously recalled that a few days ago, Xiang Zhilan suddenly brought up Sitian's wedding with them. At that time, it seemed that she had subtly expressed this wish. They did not expect that she had already accepted Shen Muzhi's proposal.
“Mr. Shen, this is too fast.” Mr. Xiang would not sell his daughter for a little tea. He firmly believed that they should spend more time together, and he changed his address for Shen Muzhi from Muzhi to Mr. Shen, his opposition was obvious.
"I know it's a bit sudden to say this now, but please believe me, I truly want to marry Zhi Lan." Shen Muzhi stood up and bowed deeply to the two elders.
"This, this..." Xiang's mother was a little embarrassed, and quickly helped him up. "We are not against your marriage, it's just a bit too fast."
Shen Muzhi knew that it would be a long time before Xiang Zhilan could win over the two elders, but he didn't want to wait. His father had given her a choice, and he was afraid that she might change her mind at any time. Only after the wedding was held and announced to the public would he feel at ease.
"We're also worried that it will be more difficult to hold a wedding after the pregnancy becomes obvious." Shen Muzhi remembered Xiang Zhilan's warning, but he couldn't care less. Judging from his parents' expressions, they obviously wouldn't agree so soon, so this was the only option.
