Chapter 53 The Engagement Banquet (Thirteen)

"In fact, grandma and dad knew about my plan to marry you the day before, and their opposition was very strong, so strong that they wanted to erase all my status in Qiao's family!"

He said it easily, as if he was talking about other people's affairs, but after Wan Qing heard it, she felt her heart tighten, and she couldn't help but clenched her fingers tightly.

It seemed that Wan Qing's reaction had been predicted, his smile was graceful, and he had a lofty feeling, that kind of expression, Wan Qing couldn't see through it, it seemed hurt, hate, cold, and clear.

"As grandma wished, I met the woman they were looking for. I know that as long as I don't show the idea of ​​severing seeing you, grandma will never give up!"

That's why he met that woman, and that's why Wan Qing met that picture that went with her.

"Do you know why I suddenly gave up picking you up temporarily that day?"

Wan Qing met Qiao Jinfan's helpless and bitter smile, stared at him, and murmured:

"Because Qiao Huangjiao is following you?"

Qiao Jinfan grabbed Wan Qing's other hand, and said in a slightly low voice with regret:
"Unfortunately, you didn't answer my call that night. I thought you would just give up and never wait for me again. That kind of feeling, it's a pity, a pity!"

From Qiao Jinfan's repeated words, Wan Qing understood his mood at that time, his regret, and she was moved.

And her blind judgment created her depression and hesitation, and also made her almost let go at the last moment. At this point, Wan Qing couldn't help bowing her head after all, feeling embarrassed and guilty.

"Grandma heard that Huang Jiao said that I went to see you secretly again in the evening, so she was very angry, but I didn't know that night until I woke up the next day and found that my door was locked, and even the windows were covered with wire mesh, so I lived the life of a labor camp prisoner for dozens of days!"

It was a big feudal family in ancient times, and Wan Qing couldn't help feeling nervous when she heard that, how could the old lady Qiao tolerate her being Qiao Jinfan's wife who was so opposed.

When Qiao Jinfan said this, he smiled lightly, the cloud was calm and breezy, but that look was a little tired and distant.

"Xiaojiao doesn't hate you, she just doesn't want me to lose those so-called status and wealth!"

Wan Qing understood Qiao Huangjiao's intentions, but her changing attitude that day still suppressed Wan Qing's courage and self-esteem.

A wealthy family is as deep as the sea, Qiao Jinfan, in order to marry her, did he even give up all that wealth and respect?

She couldn't see through his expression, what intentions did she have, and couldn't figure out what other plans he had besides his tenderness.

The two of them were not united because of love, they seemed to be confiding in each other's hearts, but there was a secret behind it, Wan Qing looked at the man who had just given her tenderness and care, and felt suddenly distant and close.

"Then, Qiao Jinfan, I'm really so attractive to you, and I'm worth your desperation, or is it that I haven't discovered the place where I'm really worthy of your marriage?"

Wan Qing's vigilant eyes were like thorns on two cactus, which seemed to have pierced Qiao Jinfan, and his usual calm face became serious because of Wan Qing's appearance.

"Xia Wanqing, please believe that I really want to marry you, there is no doubt about it!"

Wan Qing could even feel the sound of Qiao Jinfan's heart beating when he hugged him hard, and her heart finally settled down.

"What about tomorrow's engagement banquet?"

When Wan Qing looked up at Qiao Jinfan, she saw the joy and determination on his face and said:

"Do it!"
