Huo Xiuyuan originally thought that an eldest lady like Ruan Ying would have to coax for a few more days before she could get into the trap.

"When I get home, I'll talk to my mom about the engagement." Ruan Ying smiled sweetly at him.

Huo Xiuyuan touched her soft hair, "Will this be ...... Too rushed? ”

He pretended to waver, looking a little uncertain.

"Don't you want to marry me?" Ruan Ying was aggrieved.

In her opinion, she finally met the person she was destined for, and the length of time was meaningless to her.

Seeing Huo Xiuyuan asking, Ruan Ying immediately asked him, but he didn't know that this happened to achieve Huo Xiuyuan's goal.

"Of course not," Huo Xiuyuan put on his gentle mask again, "I'm just worried that this will embarrass your family, after all, our time together is too short." ”

As soon as he said this, Ruan Ying felt that Huo Xiuyuan was a rare good lover, and the idea of getting engaged became more and more determined.

"It's okay, my family will definitely agree!" She settled on this matter beautifully.

Huo Xiuyuan just smiled and said nothing, seeing Ruan Ying like this, he just looked at her connivingly, as if he was a little helpless about Ruan Ying's willfulness.

Then Ruan Ying went home and announced that she was going to get engaged to Huo Xiuyuan.

"Nonsense, engagement is not a trivial matter, how can you say that you are engaged?" Ruan's father frowned, obviously disapproving.

Ruan's mother also looked melancholy, "Yingying, have you thought about it?" ”

Ruan Ying sat next to her, even under the gaze of her father, who was usually the most afraid, she had rare courage.

"I'm an adult and can decide my own business!" She was conclusive.

Ruan Ying's face was full of determination, "What's wrong with me getting engaged to the person I love!" ”

Ruan's mother was a little helpless when she heard her daughter's somewhat stubborn tone, but she wrung her eyebrows and didn't know how to persuade her.

Ruan Ying has been raised by them since she was a child, and she always said that she wanted to find her true destiny, and Ruan's mother only felt childish at that time and did not correct it, but seeing that Ruan Ying now said that she was going to get engaged, she didn't know how to refute it for the first time.

"You-" Ruan's father knotted, "If you like it, you like it, engagement is not a trivial matter......"

"Have you really figured it out?" Ruan's mother also asked.

Listening to her mother's somewhat softened tone, Ruan Ying immediately cheered up and knew that she was about to agree.

She took out the strength of her usual coquettishness, "Of course I think clearly, I must be able to see whether he loves me or not!" ”

As if to strengthen the credibility of her words, Ruan Ying also nodded.

"You tell her about this, my company still has a meeting and will leave first." Ruan's father didn't have time to mess around with his daughter.

However, the meaning of leaving this aside also means indulgence.

It doesn't matter if her daughter is naïve, since Ruan Ying can't listen to her own words, Ruan's father doesn't mind letting her learn a lesson and sober up.

As long as Ruan Ying herself experiences it, she can know that some love can also be disguised, and some feelings can also be deliberately created by people, and not everyone spoils her like the Ruan family.

Looking at the back of her father leaving, Ruan Ying didn't feel despised at all, but turned her eyes to her mother even more happily.

Ruan's mother had a headache, "Have you thought about it?" Engaged to Huo Xiuyuan? ”

Ruan Ying nodded.

Huo Xiuyuan is a member of the Huo family, but Ruan's mother didn't resist too much after thinking about it, mainly because she had become accustomed to her daughter's indulgence.

"Okay, the engagement is up to you." Ruan's mother took a step back, "But I decided to get married." ”

As long as she is not married and does not touch the bottom line, Ruan's mother can indulge her daughter.

Ruan Ying's eyes lit up, and she didn't listen to the second half of Ruan's mother at all. "Good!"

"Then it's decided, Mom!" She happily got up from the couch.

She was going to tell Huo Xiuyuan the good news now.

Seeing her daughter run back to her room, Ruan's mother sighed silently, turned her head and began to call the housekeeper to arrange the engagement.

The news that the Ruan family's daughter was going to get engaged soon spread out, especially when the other object of the engagement was still someone from the Huo family, which caused an uproar.

The engagement invitation was quickly distributed to the major families, among which the Murong family and the Huo family were naturally the most honorable ones.

It happened that Huo Hong was at home today, and the housekeeper planned to send it to the study after receiving the invitation, and met Huo Xiuyuan halfway.

"I'll deliver it." He smiled and accepted the invitation.

Such a good thing, naturally he had to tell Huo Hong in person in order to satisfy Huo Xiuyuan.

Such good news almost made Huo Xiuyuan unable to suppress the happiness in his heart, and it was rare that he did not have a stinky face, and the housekeeper who watched it was surprised.

The housekeeper naturally didn't say much, "Then I'll trouble you." ”

Huo Xiuyuan waved his hand, took the invitation, and knocked on the door of the study.

"Come in." Huo Hong's calm voice sounded from within.

This was the first time that Huo Xiuyuan's heart was full of joy after hearing Huo Hong's voice, instead of being full of pressure as before.

Huo Xiuyuan walked in and stood in front of the table, "I'm engaged to Ruan Ying." ”

"Ruan Ying?" Huo Hun was a little impressed.

Ruan's surname was so sensitive that Huo Hong took his gaze away from the document and turned to look at Huo Xiuyuan.

There was approval in his eyes, "Good job." ”

Huo Xiuyuan put the invitation in front of Huo Hong, and the names of the two engaged people on the gilded invitation were clearly written.

Huo Xiuyuan and Ruan Ying.

Huo Hong picked up the invitation card and looked at it carefully, and then a satisfied smile appeared on his face, and the light in his eyes flashed with the pleasure of obtaining benefits.

The engagement can be said to have directly erased all the mistakes made by Huo Xiuyuan in Huo Hong's heart.

As long as they can unite with the Ruan family, then there is no need for the Murong family to be afraid of currying favor.

"The Ruan family is very good, and I hope you can make good use of this opportunity." Huo Hong's mind doesn't stop there.

He struck two sentences, "Take the opportunity to join forces with the Ruan family, as long as you control Ruan Ying well, you will be your biggest winner." ”

Huo Xiuyuan listened to Huo Hong's words quietly, and then nodded solemnly under his valued gaze.

"I see." He lowered his eyes, looking indescribably obedient.

That's what Huo Hong likes to see the most.

Getting engaged is just a small step, really marrying Ruan Ying, so as to use his identity to get the help of the Ruan family, that's what Huo Xiuyuan wants.

Huo Hong has a more long-term view, far enough to use Huo Xiuyuan to borrow the power of the Ruan family, and even design to annex the Ruan family in the future......

In a sense, Huo Hong and Huo Xiuyuan are really surprisingly similar.

"Then I'll go and get engaged first." Huo Xiuyuan was ready to retreat.

Huo Hong stared at his nephew, and suddenly his heart moved. "On the day of the engagement, I'll be there."

Huo Xiuyuan's body shook, and Huo Hong's meaningful voice immediately came from behind him.

"I hope you don't let me down."

Huo Hong will be there, which is enough to show the importance he attaches to this engagement.

Huo Xiuyuan was happy, but he also secretly tightened his heartstrings and planned to watch this engagement banquet tightly to avoid any problems.

And Huo Hong, who was sitting in the study, changed his happy look just now after Huo Xiuyuan left, and there was a little hesitation in his eyes.

He pressed the bell at his hand and called the butler over.

"How is Huo Yichen doing?" Huo Hong asked.

The butler lowered his head, "Nothing out of the ordinary, at least on the surface." ”

It's a middle-of-the-road answer, at least it's impossible to find faults.

The housekeeper's face was calm, but in his heart he secretly began to speculate why Huo Hong asked such a question, could it be related to Huo Xiuyuan's departure just now?
