“It’s not dealt with yet,” Jian Yiling replied.

“Just leave everything else to Uncle Zhai. Don’t tire yourself out.”

Master Zhai did not want his granddaughter-in-law to overwork herself.

He learned from his grandson that Jian Yiling had spent two years on this matter.

A time of time and energy had been invested into this to be able to pinpoint down Mr. Mu.

Jian Yiling replied: “A Sheng treats me well.”

“That’s good, that’s good. As long as you guys are doing well, I will be very happy,” Master Zhai commented. Then, he said: “Let me know if you want any reward.”

“I want to have a baby with A Sheng,” Jian Yiling expressed.

Master Zhai was stunned to hear this. He never expected his granddaughter-in-law to say such a thing.

Then, he began to laugh.

“You have the same thought process as me!” Master Zhai was overjoyed to hear this.

She wanted such an adorable reward!

Instantly, Master Zhai was already imagining how cute his great-grandchildren would look.

If it was possible, he wanted a great-grandchild immediately!

Then, Master Zhai glared at his grandson: “Did you hear that? Hurry up. Fulfill Yiling’s wishes.”

The expression on Zhai Yunsheng’s face was serious as he said: “One thing needs to be done first.”

“What else needs to be done? Is there anything more important than fulfilling Yiling’s wishes?” Master Zhai growled. He was about to die from anger.

How dare he refuse?

Thankfully, Yiling would not overthink. Any other girl could be tempted to break up with Zhai Yunsheng!

“A marriage proposal,” Zhai Yunsheng said as he stared at Jian Yiling.

“Marriage… Marriage proposal?” Master Zhai stuttered. He froze for a moment before finally reacting: “You intend to marry Yiling?”

“Mhmm.”

“Ahh, I misunderstood your intentions. Hurry up, hurry up!” Master Zhai said. He was so excited that he was about to jump up and down.

Then, Zhai Yunsheng turned around and said to Jian Yiling: “I should take initiative if we want a baby. And before that, let’s get married first.”

Upon hearing this, Jian Yiling became somewhat embarrassed. “O… Okay…”

When the news that Zhai Yunsheng was ready to get married spread, everyone had different reactions.

Zhai Yunsheng’s friends were incredibly excited for him.

Even though the two of them were engaged, an engagement was still different from marriage. An engagement didn’t have a wedding nor marriage certificate.

However, the Jian family wasn’t too happy.

Yiling wasn’t even nineteen yet!

It was okay to be engaged early… But getting married at such a young age?

“I don’t want to say yes,” Wen Nuan said as she bit down on her lips.

Although she said this, Wen Nuan did not know what she was actually going to do.

After all, she could only express her dissatisfaction in front of her husband and sons. She couldn’t really stop this marriage.

And thus, Wen Nuan asked Grandma Jian for help: “Mother, why don’t you go and speak to Yiling?”

Grandma Jian rolled her eyes at Wen Nuan: “Aren’t you her mother? Shouldn’t you talk to her yourself?”

She knew why Wen Nuan asked her. However, she still wanted to embarrass her.

“Mother…” Wen Nuan begged.

“Do you think I’m willing for Yiling to get married? I thought she was going to get married at twenty-five or something…” Grandma Jian said quietly. Her eyes were filled with reluctance.

“So… Are you going to persuade Yiling then?” Wen Nuan asked.. Her eyes lit up with hope.
