She wanted to marry, and he was anxious

In the capital, at the highest point of this bustling city, in that luxurious and elegant office, Ji Hanzhou was concentrating on reviewing the contract in his hand as usual.

He pursed his lips tightly, his expression focused and indifferent, as if nothing in the world caught his eye. His slender fingers flipped through the documents casually, and every subtle movement was filled with innate elegance and majesty, like a king high above.

Special assistant Yang Yi wandered outside the door for a long time, beads of sweat oozing from his forehead. With a heart full of anxiety, he finally plucked up the courage to knock on the office door, "Knock knock knock".

"Come in." Ji Hanzhou's voice was low and magnetic, but without any emotion, and so cold that it seemed to be able to freeze the surrounding air in an instant.

Yang Yi pushed the door open and hesitated for a long time, but still didn't know how to start.

"Are you mute? Do I need to send you on a business trip to Africa to clear your head?" Ji Hanzhou didn't even raise his head, his tone full of impatience.

Yang Yi closed his eyes and said with a determined heart, "News came from Lancheng that Miss Ye is interested in marriage."

Ji Hanzhou's hand suddenly paused as he signed. The tip of the pen stopped on the paper, and the ink quickly spread. Looking closely, the tip of the pen was deeply embedded in the paper. Then, with a "bang", the pen body broke in the middle.

Ji Hanzhou slowly raised his head, a cold light flashed in his eyes, his teeth clenched tightly together, and he squeezed out two words from between his teeth: "Say it again."

Yang Yi swallowed hard, with a look of reluctance in his eyes: "Lancheng said that Miss Ye herself wants to arrange a marriage, and there will be a blind date today."

"Hehehe," Ji Hanzhou stood up and laughed out of anger, but his laughter was full of sadness.

Ji Hanzhou: "The Ye family went bankrupt?"

Yang Yi: “No.”

Ji Hanzhou: "Are you in crisis?"

Yang Yi: “Not really.”

"So Ye Xichen is out of his mind?" Ji Hanzhou tried his best to suppress his emotions, veins bulging on his forehead.

"The marriage was proposed by Miss Ye herself." Yang Yi wiped the sweat from his forehead nervously.

The office fell into a suffocating silence.

After a long time, Yang Yi looked up at Ji Hanzhou again, only to see that his eyes were empty, as if they had lost focus. Then, pain, unwillingness, jealousy, fear, and all kinds of complex emotions intertwined together, which was heartbreaking.

"Get out." Ji Hanzhou's voice was hoarse and bitter, as if he had used up all his strength.

He felt as if his heart was being tightly grasped by an invisible hand, and it hurt so much that he could hardly breathe. He walked to the French window, picked up a cigarette with his fingers, and the flame jumped and the smoke rose.

His thoughts were like a wild horse running away from his reins, drifting far away. Her every move, every frown and every smile kept flashing through his mind. Time seemed to freeze for a long, long time, until his fingers were burned by cigarette butts for the umpteenth time, and he finally came to his senses.

"Marriage? Marriage is good. For sixteen years, you have been the only ray of light in my dark world, the only sweetness in my painful life, supporting me through year after year. What would I do without you? So, I don't want to miss you, and I will never miss you..."

Ji Family Old House

As soon as Ji Hanzhou got out of the car, he couldn't wait to ask the housekeeper who was walking towards him: "Uncle Zhong, where is the old man?"

Butler Zhong: "Well, the old man just had lunch, and I guess he's taking a nap now."

Ji Hanzhou paused, then let out a self-deprecating sneer. He was no longer a young boy, and in his haste, he had even forgotten his grandfather's lunch break time.

"When grandpa wakes up, please tell him that I'm waiting for him in the study."

"Okay, I'll tell him as soon as the old man wakes up."

Butler Zhong looked at Ji Hanzhou's hurriedly departing back and couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Over the years, even during the most turbulent and chaotic years for the Ji family, he had never seen the young master so unstable.

……

Butler Zhong: "The old man took a really long nap today."

Mr. Ji: "Who said it wasn't true? I actually felt a little hungry when I got up."

While helping Mr. Ji sit down, Butler Zhong said, "Haha, that's really unfortunate. The young master came just when you fell asleep. He has been waiting for you in the study for almost three hours. He seemed very anxious."

Old Master Ji was surprised. "Oh? It's rare that this brat would wait for someone one day? Let's go, I want to see what he is doing today."

When Mr. Ji came to the study, he saw his grandson sitting there leisurely making tea. He seemed calm and composed, but he could see Ji Hanzhou's inner anxiety and nervousness at a glance.

Old Master Ji coughed lightly and asked, "What brings you here today?"

Ji Hanzhou quickly stood up and helped the old man sit down: "You said that as if I don't come back to see you normally."

Then he poured the old man a cup of tea: "Try it, it's what you like."

Old Master Ji stared at Ji Hanzhou for a long time with a sharp gaze. "Something is wrong. You are being so attentive to me for no reason. What's the matter with you, kid? Just tell me."

"Come with me to Lancheng tomorrow." Ji Hanzhou said straight to the point.

Old Master Ji said angrily: "I know that you, my grandson, are up to no good. The weather is getting hotter and hotter. Why don't I stay at home to escape the heat? Why run to the south? I won't go."

Ji Hanzhou: "Why don't you ask us what we are going to do?"

Old Master Ji looked disdainful: "Not interested, unless you bring me a granddaughter-in-law. Look at you, you are 28 years old and you don't know how to rush. To be honest, I really look down on you. Don't you really dislike women? Do you like the guy from the Shen family? Or the one from the Jiang family?"

Ji Hanzhou looked helpless: "Don't worry, I have a normal sexual orientation. Besides, is there any grandfather who would say that to his grandson?"

Old Master Ji was so angry that he blew his beard and glared: "Then why don't you bring one back, so that I can respect you for once, you single dog, get out of here, don't get in my way here."

Ji Hanzhou stood up, stretched out his hand to smooth out the non-existent wrinkles on his clothes, and said with a firm look: "I will count your treasures later, and go to your granddaughter-in-law's house to propose marriage tomorrow."

Old Master Ji waved his hands impatiently: "Okay, okay, I get it, get out of here, what did you just say, propose marriage?"

Ji Hanzhou stopped and turned back: "Grandpa, I don't think you are hard of hearing yet."

Old Master Ji: "You kid, are you trying to piss me off to death? Can you please speak properly? Besides, how can you be so hasty in proposing such a big thing as marriage?"

"If you don't hurry up, your granddaughter-in-law might end up in someone else's family."

Old Master Ji was anxious and disgusted: "No, when did my grandson Ji Muting become so useless?"

Ji Hanzhou walked out the door: "Get ready quickly, we'll leave tomorrow."

"Hey! You bastard, you haven't told me where your granddaughter-in-law belongs to, you bastard."

Ji Hanzhou's voice came from outside the door: "Lancheng Ye Family."

"Old Zhong! Go quickly to the Ye family in Lancheng and bring all the information about my granddaughter-in-law."

"Hey, hey, don't worry, I'll go right away." Butler Zhong, who was in his fifties, ran with the agile pace of a thirty-year-old.

after an hour

Old Master Ji said, "Old Zhong, look, no wonder that brat is so anxious. Look, my granddaughter-in-law has been outstanding since she was young. She looks like a kind-hearted girl, and she is also the daughter of the Ye family in Lancheng. That brat is lucky."

Butler Zhong on the side was already grinning from ear to ear: "You are right, this young mistress and young master are really a perfect match, I wonder how beautiful the baby they will have in the future will be."

"You're the only old man who knows how to talk, hahahahahaha. Although we're a little anxious to leave tomorrow, you must not be careless about the gifts, especially the betrothal gift for my granddaughter-in-law, you must give the best!"

Butler Zhong: "Don't worry, the young master is more anxious than you about these things."
