Chapter 1296: Agreement

"Master Liu, Mr. Zhang, don’t worry, I, Qian Jun, swear that I will treat Yanling well. I just talked to Mr. Zhang. At my age, all I want is a stable life.

Just watch our future lives. Also, I want to get married on the eighth day of the twelfth month. I have already set my sights on a house, Secretary Fang went to see it, and if it’s suitable, we’ll buy it, then it’s just about the furniture; I’ll handle that."

"That’s too rushed, we haven’t arranged anything yet."

"Mr. Zhang, you don’t need to provide anything for Yanling. Whatever you need, just tell me directly. I’ll find a way."

Qian Jun laughed self-deprecatingly, then said, "My reputation isn’t good. The date for the remarriage has already been announced. If it falls through again, even I would feel depressed.

Also, I really like Yanling and want to marry her as soon as possible; I hope you two can agree."

"Rushing like this, I’m afraid it might harm Yanling’s reputation."

Qian Jun laughed, "Why care what others say? It’s our life together; what does it have to do with others?"

"There are only nine days left until the eighth day of the twelfth month, will it be possible?"

"Absolutely, tomorrow I’ll arrange everything about the house and furniture in one day, find someone to repair the house, and then have someone make bedding. Plus some little things.

It can definitely be completed in five to six days.

Then we’ll get the certificate, and as for the feast, I’ve already asked Director Ding from the restaurant to take care of it. So there’s really nothing that can’t be done."

The old couple exchanged a glance; actually, they had already prepared most of Yanling’s dowry, and the cotton and fabric for the bedding were also ready.

But they were just worried about people’s speculation if the two rushed to get married.

"I hope you can agree. This is about us living our life."

Old Liu sighed, "Alright, get married on the eighth day of the twelfth month, get the certificate on the sixth." Nowadays, people don’t care much about whether they have a marriage certificate or not, but after all, Qian Jun’s position is much higher than our own. This counts as giving our granddaughter a guarantee.

The old couple felt rather depressed. Qian Jun knew that he was relying on his status to pressure them.

But who let this girl enter his life? Who let her say she liked him? And who let her stir his heart?

For him to go after such a girl actively was a bit of a stretch; he knew the age gap was too big, hence he lacked the courage.

The old couple watched Qian Jun’s smiling face; although they suspected he might want to save face, at this time, their silly daughter had already gone in.

But undeniably, Qian Jun’s words stirred their hearts.

Others don’t know, but their eldest daughter’s couple was of similar age, and loving, yet didn’t they leave early?

Moreover, Qian Jun had no family. This would save a lot of trouble.

Let’s go with it; the silly girl is willing, might as well fulfill her wish.

Liu Guohua’s family of four came along with their niece. That girl just smiled, no matter how they asked, she wouldn’t say.

Both were workers at the textile factory, and Wu Songbo was in the machinery repair team. Also an honest and decent person.

"Sis, what’s making you so happy?"

"Don’t ask, you’ll find out when we get home." She wasn’t about to answer her cousin’s question now.

Liu Guohua was still puzzled. Usually, after the night shift, it’s the husband who goes to get food from the cafeteria for the family, and today the food hadn’t even been eaten before their niece called.

The little cousin came over, "Sis, your smile is different from before."

"Hah, you know everything. Quick, today’s dumplings, cabbage filling, with lard and garlic, really delicious."

The two families didn’t live far apart, so by the time they got home, the dumplings hadn’t started cooking yet.

Liu Guohua and Wu Songbo saw Qian Jun at home and paused for a moment, then immediately greeted him.

"Hehe, no need to be formal, you’ll be elders from now on." Although Qian Jun was younger than them, it was only by a year or two.

Hearing this, Liu Guohua recalled the words from the niece in the morning. What had the silly girl done?

But seeing their parents’ expressions and the just spoken words of Qian Jun, he realized the two elders agreed.

The two boys didn’t understand the adults’ conversation, so they laughed and went with Old Liu to start the fire.

"Mom, you agreed?"

"Yes, I agreed. Since Yanling herself is willing, let her be. Besides, we know Qian Jun’s character; it’s familiar to us."

"But, but his reputation?"

Qian Jun smiled as he listened. "I actually don’t believe in those things, but if you do, let me say a few words.

I indeed bear responsibility for my first wife’s death. If I had accompanied her out that day, nothing would have happened.

My current girlfriend, that’s because of my own incompetence.

So I really don’t admit to the outside saying I’m cursed to my spouses.

As I always say, who knows what hasn’t happened?

Maybe Yanling and I are destined. So please believe in me."

Having said this much, Liu Guohua no longer dwelled on it.

"Mr. Qian, you’re much older than Yanling, I hope you’ll let her have her way sometimes in the future. If she’s wrong, you can tell us, we’ll guide her."

"Certainly, if she doesn’t understand or is wrong, I’ll teach her. I’m an orphan, have no family, and in the future, she will be my family."

Liu Guohua was still struggling. At Qian Jun’s age, he wasn’t sure if he could have children. If not, what about Yanling?

But he couldn’t ask this himself, so he pulled his husband out.

Wu Songbo listened to his wife’s concerns and felt worried too. So he went in, "Mr. Qian, can you come out for a moment?"

Qian Jun roughly guessed what they wanted to ask. But he himself didn’t know; his time with Gao Ruyun was short, so he wasn’t sure.

With Gu Xiaoyu, they were together for a few months, spent many nights together, but given Gu Xiaoyu’s lifestyle, the chances of pregnancy weren’t high, right?

Every year, he went to the hospital for a check-up and had asked before, and they said that there was no problem with him. But that’s not guaranteed.

Wu Songbo took Qian Jun to another room. "Mr. Qian, we’re just concerned you might not be able to have children. Yanling is still so young; what will happen later?"

"Here’s the plan; this afternoon, I’ll take Yanling to the hospital for a check-up. We’ll both get examined so you can be at ease,

rest assured, even if it’s Yanling who has a problem, I won’t dislike her. If there’s an issue, we’ll address it."

"Alright, I don’t have to work this afternoon, I’ll go with you."

"Alright, both of you come along then."

If this could indeed reassure Yanling’s family, then they might as well take a trip to the hospital.

Qian Jun wasn’t lying, even if it turned out Yanling had a problem, he would still marry her and slowly address it later.
