Hidden Marriage 99 Days: Please Restrain Yourself - Chapter 857

Chapter 857: Holding Your Children Before I Die

However, how could such a person bear to get married without holding a banquet?

According to their customs, both the man and the woman should hold a banquet each in their respective hometowns.

Bo Chengcheng was well known in her little town for being a pretty and capable girl.

Every time the Bo family’s little Chengcheng was mentioned, the boys in town would yearn for a girl like her.

It wasn’t an exaggeration to say that Bo Chengcheng earned a well-deserved status of a goddess among the men of her generation.

Initially, he thought that his goddess was still single, so Gao Zhuangshi took special care of her grandmother.

When he heard that Bo Chengcheng was home, he immediately dashed over.

But now, he suddenly found that Bo Chengcheng was married.

Furthermore… this man seemed to be a rather good husband.

Gao Zhuangshi felt a complicated mix of emotions. He sized up Jiang Yeqing and said, “Besides, you look older than Chengcheng, right? You should be 33 or 34 years old. Why are you only married now?”

Jiang Yeqing could clearly feel the man’s hostility. He glanced at Bo Chengcheng with a faint smile and said, “Because she was unwilling.”

Gao Zhuangshi initially had a few guesses.

Perhaps he would have answered that he was busy with his career and didn’t want to get married, or there was no suitable woman… all these random reasons that could be thought of. Unexpectedly, this person gave such a reason.

Gao Zhuangshi didn’t have a comeback.

Did that mean he had not gotten married earlier because he was waiting for Bo Chengcheng?

Gao Zhuangshi was upset and looked at Bo Chengcheng.

The woman had already sat herself down next to Grandma and was asking about her well-being. At the same time, she massaged the old lady’s shoulders and back.

Jiang Yeqing acted as though he didn’t mind the man’s words. He sat down at the coffee table and said, “Sit down and have some tea. I brought some tea leaves – they’re not bad.”

At this invitation, Gao Zhuangshi thought perhaps it was a good idea too. He could sit down and have a chat and get to know the other man a little more?

However, very soon, he regretted it.

After Jiang Yeqing sat down, he started asking the other man all sorts of questions.

He asked the man if he was married, why he wasn’t, whether he had a partner, how much savings he had, which university he graduated from, his annual income…

All sorts of questions that he thought could only come from gossipy women… and now they were coming from Jiang Yeqing.

Gao Zhuangshi was a man with a bad temper.

He suppressed his anger even though he felt like blowing up. However, Jiang Yeqing excelled at such soft tactics. Gao Zhuangshi knew that losing his temper would only make himself look petty and uneducated.

Gao Zhuangshi was silently furious but eventually, under Jiang Yeqing’s incessant attack, he left in a sorry state.

Bo Chengcheng watched the show from the sidelines and pretended not to notice. As she massaged Grandma’s back and shoulders and chatted with the elderly woman, she listened attentively to the men’s conversation.

After Gao Zhuangshi left, Jiang Yeqing looked at Bo Chengcheng with a faint smile and said, “It appears that my wife is quite popular.”

Unfortunately, not to mention Bo Chengcheng, even he did not like such a man.

Bo Chengcheng raised her eyebrow slightly and did not respond to his remark.

Grandma coughed a few times. “You’re not young anymore. Chengcheng, Ah Qing, I know you youngsters have your own ideas, but Grandma is old. Maybe one night I might kick the bucket while sleeping…”

“Grandma, stop speaking nonsense.” Bo Chengcheng didn’t want to hear this. “You’re in such good health, don’t talk about things that aren’t about to happen.”

Grandma sighed. “I know my own body. I only hope to be able to hold your children before I die.”
