Duanwu took out the money, and Zhang Xiaoqin, whose eyes were now fixed on money, immediately shut up. She could hardly even pretend to be reserved, and let this man, whom she had only met once, pounce on her and press her under his body to torment her.
Although she was as tired as a pile of mud, for the sake of money, she still tried her best to cater to Duanwu and make him happy.
In Qianqian's warm room.
As soon as she opened her sleepy eyes, she was startled by her parents who were standing by the bed.
Shang Xin and Bai Meng had smiles on their faces and looked at Qing Ke attentively.
"Dad, Mom, you scared me to death so early in the morning."
"My dear daughter, aren't we eager to tell you the good news?"
Bai Meng smoothed the hair that was stuck to her cheek. Her happiness was self-evident and written all over her face.
"Mom, please stop laughing so much! You'll get wrinkles if you laugh too much. What good news is there that would make you two elders make such a fuss?"
Qingke rubbed his eyes and sat up from the bed.
Bai Meng's smile stopped abruptly when he heard Qing Ke's words.
"Really? Honey, do I have more wrinkles?"
She grabbed Shang Xin's hand and quickly asked Shang Xin to look at her face and help her find out if there were any more wrinkles.
"Don't listen to Coco's nonsense. There's no such thing. Let's get down to business."
How could this high and mighty Mr. Shang possibly understand a woman's love of beauty? He was obviously a little impatient, and there was a sense of urging in his tone.
Bai Meng thought so too. Wrinkles are a gift from time, and they can't be changed by a smile. Her frown gradually relaxed, but she still held an unconvincing attitude, her expression calm, a smile that was neither real nor fake.
It was just a joke Qingke said casually, she didn't expect her mother to take it seriously.
She could see that her mother was having a hard time holding back her laughter, wanting to laugh but not daring to. She was having a hard time too, and seeing her mother's expression, she wanted to laugh out loud, but it was a pity that it was just an idea. She also wanted to laugh but didn't dare to, and they really shared the same pain!
"Keke! What do you think of Zhengsheng people?"
Qing Ke bit her lower lip and pretended to be thoughtful. "Hmm—not bad. Motivated, smart, capable, and very loyal."
"So how do you get along with him?"
"good."
Qing Ke's answer was very concise. It was not that she didn't want to say it, but she held the principle of saying less and making fewer mistakes. She was afraid that if she said it, her parents would become suspicious, and then she would really be breaking up the couple.
"Then get engaged!"
"What? Engagement?"
This word took Qing Ke by surprise. Putting aside the question of whether she and Zheng Sheng were acting, even if they were really dating, there was no reason for her to get engaged to him so soon! She and Zheng Sheng had only known each other for a little over ten days, and this was practically a forced marriage.
Her eyes widened as she looked at her parents in disbelief.
She felt they were so unfamiliar. How could they have become so old-fashioned and unreasonable? What era was it now? Did they still have to follow the old path of parents' orders and matchmakers' words?
"Look at you, are you so surprised? Isn't the purpose of this relationship to start a family? Since you two are so in love, then the sooner the better. The sooner you get engaged, the more reassurance you can give to each other, and it will also reassure both of our parents. Besides, Zhengsheng and his parents also hope that you will get engaged as soon as possible."
Qingke looked at Shang Xin with a pleading look, but Shang Xin remained indifferent. Only then did she realize that this was the result they had already agreed on.
I don’t have a boyfriend at the moment. If Zheng Sheng really likes me, I can reluctantly get engaged to him. After all, Zheng Sheng is not bad, at least he is not on my blacklist.
But Zhengsheng has Youyou, and the two of them love each other so passionately and so hard to separate.
"Does Zhengsheng agree?" she asked Bai Meng tentatively.
She didn't believe her mother at all, so how could Zheng Sheng agree?
"Of course, we discussed it with his parents yesterday. This morning, the Wang family called and said Zhengsheng readily agreed to get engaged to you, so your father and I rushed over to tell you!"
Zhengsheng actually agreed? How is that even possible? What on earth is he up to? I can help him and Youyou, but I can't ignore my own honor and disgrace!
Even if I put aside my personal honor and disgrace, what about the entire Qingshang Group? I can't damage the Qingshang Group that my father built just to help a friend.
No, I have to ask clearly.
Qing Ke thought about it and prepared to go downstairs to change clothes and find Zheng Sheng.
Bai Meng hurriedly grabbed Qing Ke, urging her to express her opinion, "No, Keke, where are you going? You haven't answered my question yet! I'm waiting to give you a reply!"
