BXBX NOVEL Chapter 370: Quick Engagement
"I\'ll tell my mother about my engagement when I get home." Ruan Ying smiled sweetly next to him.
Huo Xiuyuan stroked her soft hair, "Is this...too urgent?"
He pretended to be swaying, looking a little uncertain.
"Don\'t you want to marry me?" Ruan Ying felt wronged.
In her opinion, the length of time is meaningless to her when she finally meets the person she is destined to meet.
Seeing Huo Xiuyuan asking this question, Ruan Ying immediately asked him back, but she didn\'t know that this happened to achieve Huo Xiuyuan\'s goal.
"Of course not," Huo Xiuyuan put on his gentle mask again, "I\'m just worried that this will embarrass your family, after all, our time together is too short."
After he said this, Ruan Ying felt that Huo Xiuyuan was a rare and good lover, and her idea of getting engaged became more and more determined.
"It\'s okay, my family will definitely agree!" She happily settled on this matter.
Huo Xiuyuan just smiled without saying a word. Seeing Ruan Ying like this, he just looked at her indulgently, as if he felt a little helpless for Ruan Ying\'s waywardness.
Then Ruan Ying went home and announced that she was going to be engaged to Huo Xiuyuan.
"Nonsense, engagement is not a trivial matter, how can you make an appointment?" Father Ruan obviously disagreed with a frown.
Mother Ruan also looked melancholy, "Yingying, have you made up your mind?"
Ruan Ying sat next to her, even facing the eyes of her father, who she was most afraid of, she rarely had the courage.
"I\'m an adult and can decide my own affairs!" She said with certainty.
Ruan Ying was determined, "I\'m engaged to the person I love, what\'s the problem?"
Mother Ruan felt helpless when she heard her daughter\'s stubborn tone, but she frowned and didn\'t know how to persuade her.
Since she was a child, Ruan Ying was raised by them naively, always talking about finding her true son, at that time, Ruan\'s mother only thought that she was childish and didn\'t correct it, but now that Ruan Ying said that she wanted to get engaged, it was her first time. I don\'t know how to refute once.
"You—" Father Ruan was furious, "If you like it, you like it. Engagement is not a trivial matter..."
"Have you really thought it through?" Mother Ruan also asked.
Hearing her mother\'s softened tone, Ruan Ying immediately cheered up and knew that she was about to agree.
She showed her usual coquettish energy again, "Of course I thought about it clearly, I can definitely see whether he loves me or not!"
As if to strengthen the credibility of her words, Ruan Ying nodded.
"Tell her about this, my company has a meeting to leave first." Father Ruan didn\'t have time to mess around with his daughter.
But the meaning of letting go of these words also has the meaning of indulgence.
It doesn\'t matter if the daughter is naive, since Ruan Ying can\'t listen to what she says, Father Ruan doesn\'t mind letting her learn a lesson and wake up.
Only by letting Ruan Ying experience it herself can she know that some love can be faked, and some feelings can also be deliberately created by people. Not everyone spoils her like the Ruan family.
Looking at the back of her father leaving, Ruan Ying didn\'t feel slighted at all. Instead, she turned her eyes to her mother more happily.
Mother Ruan had a headache, "Have you figured it out? Engaged to Huo Xiuyuan?"
Ruan Ying nodded.
Huo Xiuyuan is a member of the Huo family after all, Mother Ruan didn\'t resist after thinking about it, mainly because she has become a habit of pampering her daughter.
"Okay, the engagement is up to you." Ruan\'s mother took a step back, "But the marriage is decided by me."
Mother Ruan can indulge her daughter as long as she is not married and does not touch the bottom line.
Ruan Ying\'s eyes lit up, and she didn\'t listen to the second half of Ruan\'s mother\'s sentence. "good!"
"That\'s the decision, Mom!" She happily stood up from the sofa.
She is going to tell Huo Xiuyuan the good news now.
Watching her daughter run back to her room, Mother Ruan sighed silently, then turned her head and called the housekeeper to arrange the engagement.
The news that the daughter of the Ruan family was going to get engaged quickly spread, especially when the other partner of the engagement was still a member of the Huo family, it caused an uproar.
The engagement invitations were quickly distributed to the major families, among which the Murong family and the Huo family were naturally the most honored ones.
It happened that Huo Hong was at home today. After receiving the invitation, the housekeeper planned to send it to the study, and met Huo Xiuyuan on the way.
"I\'ll deliver it." He accepted the invitation with a smile.
For such a good thing, it is natural to tell Huo Hong in person in order to satisfy Huo Xiuyuan.
Such good news almost made Huo Xiuyuan unable to suppress the joy in his heart, and it was rare that he didn\'t have a bad face. The housekeeper was surprised to see it.
The butler naturally didn\'t want to say much, "Then I will trouble you."
Huo Xiuyuan waved his hand, took the invitation and knocked on the door of the study.
"Come in." Huo Hong\'s steady voice sounded from inside.
This was the first time that Huo Xiuyuan was filled with joy after hearing Huo Hong\'s voice, instead of being full of pressure like before.
Huo Xiuyuan walked in and stood in front of the table, "Ruan Ying and I are engaged."
"Ruan Ying?" Huo Hong was somewhat impressed.
The surname Ruan was so sensitive that Huo Hong looked away from the document and turned to look at Huo Xiuyuan.
There was approval in his eyes, "Good job."
Huo Xiuyuan put the invitation in front of Huo Hong, and the names of the two engaged people were clearly written on the bronzing invitation.
Huo Xiuyuan and Ruan Ying.
Huo Hong picked up the invitation card and looked at it carefully, and then showed a satisfied smile on his face, and the light in his eyes shone with the joy of gaining benefits.
The matter of engagement can be said to have directly erased all the mistakes Huo Xiuyuan made before in Huo Hong\'s mind.
As long as they can unite with the Ruan family, there is no need for the Murong family to be afraid to please.
"The Ruan family is very good, and I hope you can make good use of this opportunity." Huo Hong\'s thoughts didn\'t stop there.
He typed a few words, "Take the opportunity to join forces with the Ruan family, as long as you control Ruan Ying well, it will be your biggest chance of winning."
Huo Xiuyuan listened quietly to Huo Hong\'s words, and then nodded solemnly under his attention.
"I see." He lowered his eyes, seemingly obedient.
That is exactly what Huo Hong likes to see the most.
Engagement is just a small step. To actually marry Ruan Ying and use her status to get help from the Ruan family is what Huo Xiuyuan wanted.
However, Huo Hong takes a longer-term view, so far that he can use Huo Xiuyuan to take advantage of the Ruan family\'s power, and even plan to annex the Ruan family in the future...
In a sense, Huo Hong and Huo Xiuyuan are surprisingly similar.
"Then I\'ll prepare for the engagement first." Huo Xiuyuan was about to step down.
Huo Hong stared at his nephew, and suddenly his heart moved. "On the day of the engagement, I will be there."
Huo Xiuyuan\'s body shook, and Huo Hong\'s meaningful voice came from behind him.
"I hope you don\'t let me down."
Huo Hong will be there, which is enough to show how much he attaches importance to this engagement.
While Huo Xiuyuan was happy, he also secretly tightened his heartstrings and planned to watch this engagement banquet closely to avoid any problems.
As for Huo Hong, who was sitting in the study, after Huo Xiuyuan left, his happy expression changed, and a little hesitation appeared in his eyes instead.
He rang the bell next to him and called the housekeeper.
"How is Huo Yichen doing?" Huo Hong asked.
The butler lowered his head, "There is nothing unusual, at least on the surface it looks very peaceful."
It\'s still a moderate answer, at least people can\'t pick out the mistakes.
The butler\'s face was calm, but he secretly began to wonder why Huo Hong would ask such a question. Could it be related to Huo Xiuyuan\'s departure just now?
