Chapter 159 Proposed

Xia Xue was afraid of keeping Xiang Quan and Sun Wenhong waiting too long, so she quickly calmed herself down, changed her clothes, and went downstairs.

She originally thought that Sang Ye would definitely not come back for lunch, but unexpectedly, when she went downstairs, Sang Ye was sitting in the living room chatting with Sang Kwon. The grandfather and grandson were talking and laughing, and it seemed that they had a good relationship. She stood quietly at the stairs and did not move forward. She just watched them chatting from a distance.

Suddenly, Xiangye's eyes turned and met hers. She lowered her head in panic, her expression was very embarrassed. Xiangquan also noticed the movement here and was very happy to see her. He reached out and patted the seat next to him, and said to Xia Xue: "Xiaoxue, come. Sit next to Grandpa."

Xiang Xue was a little embarrassed at first, but when she saw Xiang Quan explain it to her, she became more open-minded. Although the situation was beyond her expectations, she had already moved in, and being coy would not solve the problem. It would be better to be open and honest.

She obediently walked to Xiangquan's side and sat down beside him. She reached out to add some tea for him, and then called to Xiangquan obediently, "Grandpa!"

"Good girl." Xiang Quan was very happy to see Xia Xue's well-behaved appearance. The more he looked at this girl these days, the more he liked her.

"I was just talking to grandpa about the day when reporters besieged you. Do you still remember? Which newspaper's reporter pushed you that day? Do you still remember?" As Xia Xue sat down, Xiang Ye asked her immediately.

"I don't remember!" Facing Xiangye's sharp eyes, Xia Xue was very shy and nervous. She lowered her head and didn't dare to look him in the eye. That expression was like meeting a boy she liked, happy but afraid that he didn't like her.

"Do you remember what he looks like?" Looking at the way he lowered his head with a red face, Xiangye seemed to have gotten used to the way women looked when they saw him. He didn't feel anything special. But there was a hint of pride in his expression.

Xia Xue couldn't help but sneer in her heart. Do you really think you are the modern Pan An? I don't want you with a paralyzed face. I remember what that man looks like. But I am helpless. The system wants me to be gentle and weak. How can I let you avenge me so brazenly? It's not that I won't avenge you now, it's just that the time has not come yet. I will deal with him myself.

"That day, there were suddenly so many people and so many problems. I was so scared and worried about everything." Xia Xue said one sentence at a time and paused between sentences. In front of Xiangye, she couldn't even finish her words.

"Okay, okay. If you don't remember, then don't remember. It's okay. Grandpa will take care of you in the future, and no one can bully you." Xiang Quan looked at Xia Xue's frightened expression and couldn't help but comfort her softly. Of course, although the words were said to Xia Xue, they were also a double entendre. While speaking, he also looked at Xiang Ye with a warning.

Seeing how much Xiang Quan was protecting Xia Xue, Xiang Ye could only rub his nose and say nothing more. What he was thinking in his heart was that the old man valued her much more than him, the legitimate grandson. Xia Xue was in the hospital these days, and he asked people to investigate what happened that day every day to find out which blind person hurt Xia Xue. He wanted to make it impossible for that person to gain a foothold in City A, and also wanted that newspaper to disappear in City A. Now, as soon as he asked, he was the one to blame.

When Xia Xue heard Xiang Quan say this, she simply pretended to be a good person. She lowered her head and fiddled with her clothes. She stayed quietly to the side.

"Grandpa is right. It's okay if you don't remember it. From now on, live here as if you are at home. If someone bullies you, just tell me directly. I will seek justice for you." After receiving Xiang Quan's warning, Xiang also spoke very sensibly: "Grandpa, is that right?"

"That's how it should be!" Seeing Xiangye's expression, Xiangquan nodded with satisfaction: "You should protect your daughter-in-law well."

Xia Xue: “…”

Xiang Ye: "..."

At this time, Mrs. Liu came over and invited everyone to the restaurant for dinner. The topic was changed.

After the meal, Xia Xue was almost choked to death by the care of Xiang Quan and Sun Wenhong. Now, watching Sun Wenhong bring another piece of fish meat to her, Xia Xue was in a dilemma whether to eat it or not.

Xiang Ye watched Xia Xue being stuffed with food by Xiang Quan and Sun Wenhong as soon as she sat at the table. He felt gloating at first, but now he couldn't stand it anymore and came out to help Xia Xue out.

"Grandpa, Mom. Please let her eat more. I think she will have to go to the hospital again this afternoon."

"You kid." After hearing what Xiangye said, Sun Wenhong couldn't help but said angrily, "Don't talk nonsense."

Xiang Quan looked at Xiang Ye and said with joy, "When did the mistress start to care about others?"

Xia Xue: “…”

Xiang Ye: "..."

"Yes, yes, Xiaosan is right. I see Xiaoxue ate a lot at noon, so don't overeat. How about this, we've almost finished the meal. Xiaoxue, let Xiaosan introduce you to the environment at home. And then I can walk with you to help you digest it." Xiangquan seized the opportunity and immediately created a chance for the two of them.

Xiangye cooperated and stood up directly. He said to Xia Xue: "Then listen to Grandpa, I will take you for a walk." After saying that, he actually walked behind Xia Xue and wanted to pull out a chair for her.

Xia Xue knew in her heart that Xiangye must have something to say since he was so cooperative. She stood up and followed him to the back.

As Xia Xue expected, Xiangye took her directly to the back garden. He called it a walk, but as soon as they left the restaurant and out of Xiangquan's sight, Xiangye's impatience was revealed without any concealment.

"Follow me."

Xia Xue followed him quietly to the garden. Xiang Ye stood a step away from her and looked at her. He said coldly, "Do you really want to marry me so much?"

"Ah!" Xia Xue stared at Xiangye blankly, her face turning red from nervousness. She lowered her head in the standard nympho style, her eyes blurred.

"Yeah." He was used to seeing women's expressions towards him, so he was not surprised. He did not rush her to reply, but calmly said to her again: "If you really want to marry me, then I will marry you. But after marriage, I still cannot love you, are you willing?"

"Eh!" Xia Xue was still acting hard, but she couldn't react after hearing Xiangye's words. She raised her head and looked at him blankly, as if what she just heard was just an illusion: "What?"

"I said, I am willing to marry you. But even if we get married, I can't love you. Are you willing too?"

"Why do you want to marry me?"

"Because Grandpa likes you."
