Chapter 836 - I will give her the best engagement party.
“Mom, I’m back.”
She shouted to her mother after fishing out the keys and opening the door.
Zhang Manhua, who was watching TV in the living room, turned her head over.
“Oh! Xiao Ji, you’re here, too.”
She smiled at Ji Ziming upon seeing him enter and got up off the sofa.
“Auntie will go cut some fruit for you.”
She quickly made her way to the kitchen.
Although she sounded as if she were reviling her daughter, the expression on her told otherwise.
“Weren’t you always telling me to gain more flesh?”
Her daughter countered with a grin, though she appeared to be acting cutesy.
“Xiao Ji, what do you want to eat tonight? Auntie will cook for you!”
She turned to ask the man after bantering with her daughter.
“Auntie, let me cook it.”
His offer made her very happy.
“It’s fine. You are a guest, so how can I make you cook?”
She smiled at him.
His next words made her gobsmacked, however.
“Auntie, I can no longer be deemed as a guest. I’ll be getting engaged with your daughter next week and then get married soon after.”
He looked at her calmly and tightly grasped his girlfriend’s hand. He was so calm that it felt as if his words were unimportant.
She was the total opposite of that, alas.
“What?! You two are getting engaged next week?!”
She looked at him in shock and disbelief.
This man’s parents and she were in discussion over this engagement, and although they had not finalized the date yet, she could say confidently that it was not next week.
“Yes, next week. I’ll ask my mom to prepare when I get home. Auntie, rest assured; although this engagement party has been moved forward by a bit, I will never shortchange your daughter.”
His lips formed into a slight smile as he resolutely declared, “I will give her the best engagement party and the best wedding ceremony.”
