Chapter 421 - 421: Meeting on the Street
Jian Dalang looked at him for a long time before he snorted. “Who knows what will happen in the future? You and I are both men, you don’t have to coax me, it’s useless.”
Ming Zhiyan glanced at him and suddenly knelt down. “Uncle, to tell you the truth, before I expressed my feelings to Qingqing, I never thought of getting married, and I never had a concubine. I rejected all the marriages the Empress arranged for me. I originally planned to be alone for the rest of my life, but it was only after I met Qingqing and expressed my feelings to her that I had the idea of getting married. So if you agree with me, I will only have Qingqing as my wife in the future. If you don’t agree, I will never marry a wife in the future.’
Jian Dalang was shocked by his sudden kneeling. After hearing what he said, he snorted awkwardly. “Don’t blame me if you get married or not. It’s none of my business. Also, if you want to be a live-in son-in-law, let’s talk about it later. It’s still too early. Don’t go looking for Big Sister during this time. It’s not good for her reputation. Do you understand?”
Ming Zhiyan felt a little bitter in his heart. It seemed that he still could not get the consent of his future father-in-law. He nodded and said, “I understand.’
“Okay,”Jian Dalang said. “Get up first. Don’t kneel down. If others know about this, they’ll say how I bullied you.’
Ming Zhiyan stood up obediently and said, “Uncle, why don’t you have breakfast before you leave?”
Jian Dalang waved his hand and said, “Do I need your food? I’ll go back first, you don’t need to send me off.’
Although he said that, Ming Zhiyan still saw him out of the door and watched him leave before returning.
Sitting in the study, he could not calm down for a long time. He wanted to find Qingqing, but he thought of Jian Dalang’s words and gave up.
When he returned home, the entire family was waiting for Jian Dalang.
“How is it?” Mother Jian hurriedly asked.
Jian Qingqing also looked at her father with anticipation, wanting to know what the answer was.
Jian Dalang took a sip of water and said, “He agreed to be a live-in son-in-law, but I didn’t.”
“Ah?” Jian Qingqing was stunned for a moment and asked in confusion, “Why didn’t you agree to it?”
Jian Dalang glared at her in exasperation and said, “Isn’t this a test? If we had agreed so easily, he definitely wouldn’t have known how to cherish it!” Only then did Jian Qingqing say ‘Oh’.
“That’s good,” agreed Old Man Jian. “But how long will the test last?”
Jian Dalang smiled smugly. “It’s up to him how long he’ll be tested. I told him not to look for you. Even though he agreed to come, what if he reneges after a month or two?”
His words made sense. Old Man Jian looked at Jian Qingqing and said, “You can’t go to him either, understand?”
Jian Qingqing’s face was full of question marks. “If I can’t even see it, how can we test it?”
Jian looked at her with disdain and said, “Why do you two have to meet for the test? If he has the heart, he will naturally be able to pass our test very quickly.”
But what was the test? Jian Qingqing was puzzled, but she did not dare to ask again.
Forget it, if she can’t see him, then so be it. Anyway, she was busy these two days and had no time to see him. She could only let her boyfriend use his smart brain to pass the test as soon as possible.
Although Jian Qingqing did not go to Ming Zhiyan, on the third day, they still met on the street.
Looking at Ming Zhiyan’s haggard face, Jian Qingqing almost could not recognize him. She said with heartache, “Hey, what happened to you? Look at this little face, it’s not even handsome anymore..”
