Chapter 42 Promise
"I've made everything I need to say to you, and now what I need is your answer." Soichiro Takashiro ignored Li Xing's delaying tactics and stared at Li Xing tightly waiting for his answer.
At this time, Li Xing couldn't be allowed to think about it, he said in his heart: "Look at him like this, if I don't agree, I'm going to turn my face with him, although I don't like him either, but now is not a good time, no matter what, I still agree first, I can always make sense with them there." β
So Li Xing said: "Of course I'm happy to be able to marry Saya as my wife, but I don't know if Saya knows the news?" What's her attitude? β
After listening to Li Xing's answer, Soichiro Takashiro showed a satisfied look: "Yuriko told Saya about this last night, otherwise I wouldn't be here to talk to you about these things." β
After listening to Soichiro Takashiro's answer, Li Xing suddenly realized, no wonder her expression was a little strange when she saw Saya this morning, and she didn't pester herself to take her to play as usual, thinking of Saya's performance in school today, Li Xing couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth.
"Yes, then I'm relieved. Father, please rest assured, I will take good care of Saya. Li Xing made his own assurances to Soichiro Takashiro.
"Okay, then your engagement ceremony with Saya will be held in a week's time, although it is a bit hasty for you, but I have invited many respected seniors and wealthy celebrities in Japan, this is also a test for you, and you should not lose the face of our Takashiro family when the time comes. As for the official marriage, it will be better when you and Saya both graduate. β
"Yes, Father." Li Xing listened to Soichiro Takashiro's words and knew that he had planned this matter for definitely not a day or two, otherwise it would be impossible to prepare for the engagement in such a short time, after all, the Takashiro family is a big family, and there are many things to prepare for such a thing as the engagement of the only daughter of the head of the family, and it is impossible to prepare it completely in a short time.
All this should have been planned by Soichiro Takashiro a long time ago, it seems that Soichiro Takashiro has long seen that it is impossible for him to refuse, and sure enough, Jiang is still old and spicy.
"Well, then you go down first, you should prepare well these days, and the housekeeper will arrange for someone to teach you all the precautions in the ceremony. One more thing I would like to remind you. β
Soichiro Takashiro paused for a moment and stared at Li Xing and said, "You can play with the other women, but if you are sorry for Saya because of her, I will not let you go." β
Listening to Soichiro Takashiro's words, Li Xing was shocked, but he still assured very seriously: "Don't worry, father, I will take care of it." β
Li Xing had already guessed that Soichiro Takashiro already knew about his relationship with Tomoyo, after all, Toshiro lived under the same roof with him, and Tsuneko and Li were usually so close to him, and many students in the school knew that Soichiro Takashiro didn't know that it was strange.
When Soichiro Takashiro saw Li Xing's answer, he knew that Li Xing had fully accepted this arrangement, and he was very satisfied, who among the children of a big Japanese family had not played with more than ten women, and even Soichiro Takashiro himself had several lovers who had maintained a relationship for a long time after getting married, until he lost his ability to be a man by accident.
He reminded Li Xing so out of concern for his daughter, and he was also confident that Li Xing would not dare to treat his daughter badly, how to treat other girls, he believed that Li Xing should be measured.
After receiving a satisfactory answer, his originally serious expression softened a little. After explaining a few words, he motioned for Li Xing to leave.
"Father, I'll quit first." After Li Xing finished speaking, he bowed and exited the study.
As soon as he left the study, Li Xing saw that the housekeeper was already waiting at the door, according to Li Xing's understanding, this housekeeper has been following Soichiro Takashiro for decades, it can be said that Li Xing and Saya have grown up under the watchful eye of this housekeeper, and he is optimistic that Li Xing and Saya can be together.
Seeing Li Xing close the door of the study, the housekeeper showed a kind smile and said to Li Xing: "Young master, I believe that the master has already told you about the matter just now, so from now on, I will tell you about the engagement arrangements and teach you all the etiquette and possible problems in the engagement ceremony, please come with me." β
Li Xing nodded, and didn't ask the idiotic question why the housekeeper appeared here, speaking of which, this butler is also a hidden master, Li Xing has seen him easily kill five direct guards trained by the Gao Cheng family by himself.
You must know that these guards have been trained since childhood, and they have also learned specialized ninjutsu or kendo, and the five of them teamed up to deal with a special forces squad with three times the number of people as if they were playing, but they were easily wiped out by the housekeeper in a short period of time, and Li Xing estimated that he would not be able to take it in a moment even if he wanted to deal with the housekeeper.
Smiling and nodding, Li Xing followed directly behind the housekeeper. Although Soichiro Takajo didn't tell himself until the end that this decision made Li Xing feel slightly unhappy, but now Li Xing can also think about it, and he naturally won't compete in the details when he takes a big advantage.
Next, Li Xing was familiar with the process of the engagement ceremony with the housekeeper, and accepted the teaching of various engagement rites, at this time, the Westernization of Japan was very serious, so a large part of the engagement ceremony also adopted Western etiquette.
Of course, as a big family, the etiquette is also very complicated, and many of these things are the first contact of Li Xing, who was a commoner in the previous life, but fortunately, Li Xing has been exposed to it in Gaocheng's house since he was a child, and he learned things about etiquette very quickly, and he learned the things that need to be paid attention to in an afternoon, and the rest is to practice repeatedly to familiarize himself with the process, so as not to make mistakes in the engagement ceremony.
At dinner in the evening, Li Xing finally saw Saya, perhaps because he learned the news that he was going to be engaged to Li Xing, Saya lowered his head a little embarrassed when he saw Li Xing, so that Yuriko, who was watching from the side, put on a knowing smile.
Li Xing's adoptive mother Yuriko was also a popular figure on Wall Street in the United States before she got married, controlling several large group companies, according to her age, she should be in her thirties now, but from the appearance of her early twenties, now sitting with Saya, not at all like a mother and daughter, but a little like a sister.
After eating, Li Xing took Saya to the backyard garden of Takashihiro's house at the signal of Yuriko.
Along the way, Saya lowered his head and didn't speak, until he came to the pavilion in the backyard that Li Xing took Sayah's hand and said to her: "Saya, what's there to be shy, we will get engaged in a few days, and then you will be my fiancΓ©e, and you will call me husband in the future." β
