The Male Lead Suddenly Became My Lapdog after I Annulled Our Engagement - Chapter 125

125 Rediscussing The Marriage
At the dining table, Jing Yan ladled a bowl of seafood porridge for He Miao and placed it in front of her. “Don’t let your thoughts run wild when you’re eating.”

He Miao looked up at him and shut her mouth.

Jing Yan could not help chuckling. “Grandpa has always been in good health, so you don’t have to worry. Besides, we have a private doctor at home who is in charge of taking care of grandpa’s health.”

He Miao nodded thoughtfully and took a bite of the seafood porridge. The umami flavor immediately spread in her mouth, driving away the morning’s chill.

Jing Yan saw that she liked the food, so he scooped some more seafood from the big bowl and put it in her bowl. He smiled and said, “Since you’re so worried about grandpa’s health, why don’t you be his granddaughter-in-law? We can be filial to him together in the future.”

!!
“I’m grandpa’s granddaughter now, so I can be filial to him too.” He Miao raised her eyebrows as a matter of course, not falling for his trick.

Jing Yan shrugged his shoulders, not at all affected. He sipped the sweet porridge in his bowl, and a thin layer of sweat appeared on his forehead.

After the meal, He Miao and Jing Yan were chatting with Old Master Jing when the butler suddenly walked in and informed them that the eldest daughter of the He family had come to visit Old Master Jing.

The old man looked at He Miao, then waved his hand for the butler to bring her in.

He Wei walked into the living room and looked at He Miao, unsurprised. She smiled and walked towards Old Master Jing, respectfully handing the gifts she had brought to the butler. “Grandpa Jing, I’ve found a lot of tonics for you this time. You must take care of your health. If you think they’re good, I’ll bring you more next time.”

“That’s very thoughtful of you.” The old man nodded lightly and pointed to the sofa beside him. “Sit here.”

He Wei was elated. In the past, the Old Master had never allowed her to sit so close to him. This time, he actually took the initiative to let her sit beside him. Did this mean that her position in the Old Master’s heart had improved?

Thinking of this, He Wei looked at He Miao with a smile. “Little Sister is here too? I wonder what you’ve brought for Grandpa Jing?”

This time, He Miao had only brought some fruits, which could not be compared to He Wei’s obviously expensive gifts. She brought it up now only to show that she was more filial than He Miao.

However, Old Master Jing did not give her the chance to trample on He Miao. He said expressionlessly, “Miaomiao is my granddaughter now. She is coming to the Jing family house as if she is coming home. She does not have to bring gifts every time. I am happy as long as she is willing to visit me.”

He Wei saw that the old man was obviously unhappy, so she quickly smiled awkwardly and nodded. “Yes.”

Jing Yan frowned in dissatisfaction, but when he looked at Grandpa Jing, he put on a friendly smile again. “From now on, Miaomiao and I will come to see you every week.”

Old Master Jing could not stop smiling when he heard this.

He had been in charge of the Jing family all his life and had nothing to lose. What he desired most in his later years was the relationship with his children and grandchildren.

Jing Yan’s parents had left when he was young, and he was the one who raised the child. Now that he saw that Jing Yan finally knew how to take care of the girl he liked and treat her well, it was the greatest comfort to Old Master Jing.

He only hoped to see the day they got married and had children with his own eyes.

He Miao knew that Jing Yan said this to protect her, but she was still angered by his matter-of-fact attitude. She turned his head and secretly glared at him, but his eyes were full of affection.

This guy was getting more and more out of control!

She clearly remembered that this person used to be as cold as ice, so why was he so kind now?

He Wei saw the two of them making eyes at each other with her own eyes, and she wanted to dig her fingers into her flesh.

In the past, it was impossible for Jing Yan to be so close to He Miao, and he would never look at any woman with such tender eyes.

She was absolutely sure that Jing Yan had truly fallen for He Miao.

How could this be! She had not saved Old Master Jing as planned, won his favor, and become the first choice for his granddaughter-in-law yet.

He Wei gritted her teeth and looked at He Miao with a smile. “Many people in the industry know that you’ve been selling perfume online recently. If you need help, I can help you promote it at any time. I didn’t expect you to have such a skill. I heard that many people from dad have called to propose marriage to you.”

Hearing this, Jing Yan immediately sat up straight nervously. He looked at He Miao like a dog staring at its own hidden bone, with a strong sense of possessiveness.

He Wei paused and took in everyone’s expressions. Then, she smiled and said, “But what I mean is that you haven’t graduated yet, so there’s no hurry to get married. Besides, you and Jing Yan have just broken off the engagement, and it’s not good to get engaged again so soon. So, there’s no hurry for now.”

“It’s indeed not good.” Jing Yan had not looked at He Wei since she entered the room. When he heard what she said, he turned to look at her indifferently. “Miaomiao is grandpa’s granddaughter now, so her marriage naturally needs grandpa’s approval.”
