Chapter 1294: Proposal

Wang Yanling hurriedly waved her hand, "I’ll go back and talk first. I’m afraid you’ll be embarrassed then." If Grandma and Grandpa said something, she was really worried Qian Jun would feel awkward. Being pampered by a much younger and beautiful girl, Qian Jun suddenly felt like he had always been waiting for her, waiting for her to grow up.

So his recent melancholy suddenly disappeared, leaving only anticipation.

"It’s fine, let’s go." How could he let the girl face it alone?

"Do you really want to go with me?" Wang Yanling asked uncertainly.

"Yes, although we don’t know each other well yet, I can tell you for sure that the rumors outside aren’t true; I’m not cursed to harm my wife."

Wang Yanling looked at Qian Jun in surprise; he knew it all.

Qian Jun felt elated looking at the innocent girl. This is how it should be. He should have found such a wife.

No need for scheming, no need for ambition, just living a simple life together.

"Wait, let me introduce my situation to you first."

Being pursued by a girl made Qian Jun feel like he suddenly became younger.

"I really don’t know your situation." Wang Yanling felt a bit embarrassed, wanting to marry someone without knowing their background.

"I’m an orphan, so even if we get married, there are no relatives.

I’m thirty-six years old. Healthy, without bad habits; I smoke and drink, but not excessively.

I have a house in the county, but I haven’t lived there."

Qian Jun suddenly frowned, realizing he couldn’t use that house; he needed to prepare a new one.

Wang Yanling looked at Qian Jun in surprise; it was similar to her situation. She had no parents, and people on her dad’s side said she was a jinx, bringing bad luck to her father and mother, so they didn’t want her either.

Except for Grandma, Grandpa, and Aunt, she had no other relatives.

She was afraid Qian Jun would dislike her for having no relatives, but it turned out he was even more so.

"Well, when I was five, my parents died, and my dad’s side didn’t want me, so that’s why I came to live with Grandma and Grandpa. Grandma and Grandpa only had my mom and Aunt. My only relatives are them."

Qian Jun smiled; this was good; both were lonely people.

"Okay, Wang Yanling, since you’ve reached out to me now, there’s no turning back; you have to follow me."

Wang Yanling nodded heavily, "I’m willing."

"Alright, then let’s go to your house. You don’t need to speak; I’ll persuade your three elders."

"Are you really going? I asked my aunt and Grandma what they thought; they both said you weren’t suitable. Originally, I thought about asking Grandma to find someone to talk to you, but they didn’t agree, so I couldn’t give up and decided to ask you myself. If you disagreed, I would give up."

Qian Jun laughed heartily inside; this girl, how often do women propose to men?

But having found such a precious one, perhaps he was lucky.

"Let’s go, you don’t need to speak, I’ll directly propose at your house. Are you willing to marry me immediately?"

"Marry you immediately?"

"Yes, a lot of friends outside already know I’m getting married. But since we’ve parted ways, it feels very frustrating. If you agree, we can also get married on the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month."

"That would need my Grandma and Grandpa’s decision."

"Alright, I understand. I’ll seek their approval."

Qian Jun also felt it wasn’t realistic. After all, he wanted to give her the best, so he needed to buy a new house. Preparing things would take some time.

Qian Jun suddenly felt a bit anxious, wanting to make her his wife immediately. Only then would he feel at ease.

"Let’s go."

Wang Yanling, who had always been an obedient child, was now trying her luck; if Qian Jun agreed, she’d go back and persuade the two elders. She feared Grandma and Grandpa would be startled.

Qian Jun looked at Wang Yanling’s dejected expression and found it amusing.

Now she realized to be scared? But since she had already reached out to him, there was no room for her to retreat.

Fang Xiangxue saw the two coming out together.

"Mr. Qian."

"Secretary Fang, go find a house, I need to buy a house, preferably not too far from the factory, and not too old."

Fang Xiangxue was momentarily stunned; why buy a house? But as a competent secretary, he wouldn’t ask.

"Yes, I heard there is a house for sale on the street opposite, three main rooms, three side rooms, I’ll go check it out."

Qian Jun nodded happily, "Go ahead, if it looks suitable, I’ll buy it when I return."

Wang Yanling was now increasingly scared, afraid that Grandma and Grandpa would be angry.

The two walked side by side in the factory, everyone would take a look.

Because it was close, she didn’t ride over. She walked to work every day.

Leaving the factory, Qian Jun looked at Wang Yanling who still had her head down, "Don’t worry, leave everything to me."

"My Grandpa’s health is poor, I fear he’ll be upset."

"Rest assured, I’m going to propose; I won’t let the two elders be upset. You just listen by the side."

Wang Yanling sighed; this was the only way, hoping Grandpa wouldn’t be angry.

In just ten minutes, they arrived at the Liu family.

Wang Ailing’s Grandma looked at Qian Jun and her niece coming in, feeling really angry. That stubborn girl had ideas of her own. She had said it wouldn’t work. What was she up to?

"Hello."

"Mr. Qian, you’ve come. Please have a seat." She finished speaking, glaring at the girl behind for her ingratiating behavior.

"Mr. Zhang, I’ve come over, and you should know why.

I know you’re displeased with me, but please tell me what exactly makes you dissatisfied so I can explain." Qian Jun spoke directly. If the girl had the courage to reach out to him, he should try harder.

"Mr. Qian, I’ll speak frankly then."

"Please do."

"I’m most dissatisfied with your age difference. You’re fourteen years older than Yanling; it’s not four years, it’s fourteen. In twenty years, when she’s in her forties, what about you? You’ll be in your fifties.

To be blunt, by then she might have to care for you like an old man.

Secondly, I still find your age concerning; you’re in your thirties without children. What if you don’t have children in the future?

Even if you have children, there’s such a big age difference, how will you support a wife and kids?"

Qian Jun felt relieved, as long as it wasn’t because he was cursed; these concerns were easier to address.

"Mr. Zhang, I know I’m much older than Yanling. Your concerns aren’t unfounded."
