Chapter 417 - 417: Old Master Xiang Pressing For Marriage
However, he quickly shook the scene out of his mind. When he heard those words, he spoke helplessly.
“Grandpa, there’s no hurry. I have my own considerations.”
“No hurry? I don’t know if I’ll be able to see you get married before I die. Let’s not talk about having a grandchild, at least your marriage will make me feel at ease.”
“Actually…”
Xiang Yin tightened his grip on his cell phone. He knew that Old Master Xiang’s health had not been good in the past few years, so when he suddenly heard this topic, his heart inevitably felt a little heavy. At this moment, he suddenly thought of Gu Man.
“Grandpa, I actually have a girlfriend.”
The voice on the other end of the phone immediately quietened down. Soon, Old Master Xiang’s voice came again with a hint of excitement.
“Is it the girl in the newspaper? She looks pretty good. What’s her family like?
What’s her name? How old is she this year?”
Old Master Xiang’s questions came one after another, but Xiang Yin caught the key in his words.
“Grandpa, since you already know about this news, why are you still urging me to get married?”
“If I didn’t say that, you might have kept it a secret for a long time. Why didn’t you tell your family that you already have a girlfriend?”
Old Xiang’s words were filled with anger and he vaguely had the intention to continue reprimanding him. Xiang Yin felt a headache and hurriedly interrupted Old Xiang.
“I’ll bring her back in a few days. I have to hang up first.”
Xiang Yin heaved a sigh of relief when he hung up. However, he had already promised. If he did not bring her back, he would definitely have to experience Elder Xiang’s harassment in the future.
He looked up at the figure standing by the roadside, but he did not know if Gu Man would agree to this request.
When he arrived at the roadside and stood beside Gu Man again, Xiang Yin was already filled with worry.
Thinking of how the two of them had interacted just now and hesitated for a long time, Xiang Yin still felt that it was better to tell Gu Man about this. After all, he had promised Old Master Xiang that he would bring her back in a few days. It was better to resolve this matter as soon as possible.
“Can you do me a favor?”
Xiang Yin’s words as soon as he returned made Gu Man suspicious. She spoke almost without thinking.
“Is it because of the phone call just now? What happened?”
“It’s nothing important. I just hope you can act as my girlfriend.”
As soon as he said that, the burden in his heart relaxed a lot. However, at the same time, Xiang Yin was a little nervous. Although the two of them had gotten closer today, this request was indeed a little difficult, so he added.
“If it’s really inconvenient, you don’t have to act.”
“It’s fine. You’ve already helped me so many times. It’s fine for me to help you once. Besides, it doesn’t sound difficult.”
Xiang Yin heaved a sigh of relief and could not help but smile.
“I may need you to accompany me to see my parents.”
“It doesn’t matter.”
Just as the two of them finished discussing, the chauffeur’s car arrived in front of them. Xiang Yin helped Gu Man open the car door and the two of them sat in the back seat.
Gu Man looked at the scenery outside the car window, but she was thinking about what had happened just now.
For some reason, when Xiang Yin said that he wanted her to be his girlfriend, her heart beat very quickly.
Alcohol was really harmful. She had sobered up a lot, but it was still easy for her to have arrhythmia.
Suddenly, she remembered that she did not seem to have asked about the time just now. Gu Man turned around and realized that Xiang Yin’s gaze was on her.
She was caught off guard when she turned around and met Xiang Yin’s gaze.
Xiang Yin wanted for them to meet at the start, but he felt that it was a little too abrupt. He could only brace himself and meet Gu Man’s gaze.
The two of them looked at each other silently. After a long time, Gu Man came back to her senses and asked.
“About what time? So I can take an early leave of absence.”
“The day after tomorrow.”
Gu Man raised her eyebrows slightly. She did not expect time to be so tight. There was not much time left for her to prepare. Moreover, it was her first time meeting his parents and she had to bring some gifts. There was not much time left for her.
“Why? Is it too inconvenient?”
Xiang Yin could tell that Gu Man was hesitating and asked..
