Chapter 459 — Betrothing a Disciple
Years of Heartflutter · Page 1 of 2
"It's not far off at all! Xiaolan and I graduate next year and then we'll get married—that means we can start trying for a baby next year too, and when the time comes we can arrange a betrothal between our children..." Guan Xiaoxiang was so excited today that he had never felt so proud and vindicated in his life, and his words came out all jumbled and out of order.
"Then you'll miss it... I've still got years to wait..." Yang Ce was rather speechless. "You're thinking far too far ahead..."
"Heh heh, then boss, do you have any nephews or nieces about that age? You can introduce one to my future baby too!" Guan Xiaoxiang was simply too excited today, so everything he said came out as this sort of nonsense.
"None for now. If there are any, I'll introduce them to you," Yang Ce said helplessly.
"Wonderful! Then boss, from now on we're in-laws! You'll have to look after me and pull me up!" Guan Xiaoxiang was no fool; though he was a bit rigid by nature, he knew very well that so long as he kept pace with Yang Juehuan, he would certainly achieve something in the future.
Zhang Hualan, however, turned bright red. She was still an unmarried girl, and here Guan Xiaoxiang had already planned out everything about children—naturally this embarrassed her terribly. She shot Guan Xiaoxiang a glare and scolded him coquettishly: "What nonsense are you spouting? Who's in such a hurry to have a baby?"
"You, of course! Your dad's already agreed, so what do we have to be afraid of?" Guan Xiaoxiang said, as though it were the most natural thing in the world.
"Well, I'm still not having one! My career hasn't even gotten off the ground yet—a baby would hold everything up!" Zhang Hualan shook her head. "Can't you be a little more serious?"
"How am I not serious? Won't the boss be looking after my career? Don't you believe in the boss's ability?" Guan Xiaoxiang trusted Yang Ce enormously now; if Yang Yanzhou could succeed on his own, then Guan Xiaoxiang was filled with an inexplicable confidence!
"But you can't rely on Brother Yang for everything!" Zhang Hualan glared at Guan Xiaoxiang. What was wrong with this man? Someone helps you, and you just wash your hands of everything? Besides, even if someone helps you, they can't help you at every turn—if you don't work hard yourself, it won't do any good!
"I'm not... heh heh, it's just that I've got confidence!" Guan Xiaoxiang scratched the back of his head and said sheepishly.
"All right, Xiaolan. Since I've decided to help Xiaoxiang, then he'll certainly have no problems from now on," Yang Ce said. "Just marry him with peace of mind, and give him a baby."
"Mm..." Hearing Yang Cenbin say this, Zhang Hualan actually grew a little embarrassed and nodded shyly, though in her heart she was deeply grateful to Yang Ce. She had no idea why Yang Ce was helping Guan Xiaoxiang so much; she had only seen Yang Puqi once before at Guan Xuemin's home, and she did not even know what Yang Ce did for a living!
Counting today, Zhang Hualan had only met Yang Ce for the second time, and in all that time she had never once heard Guan Xiaoxiang mention anything about Yang Juehuan—so why had Yang Ce suddenly started throwing his weight behind Guan Xiaoxiang today?
And judging from Guan Xiaoxiang's earlier embarrassment and unease when her father had been dressing him down, Guan Xiaoxiang himself clearly had not known Yang Juehuan's background either, and had been unsure whether Yang Ce could really help him...
Then this whole business was strange! At last Zhang Hualan could not hold back any longer and asked: "Brother Yang, why are you helping Xiaoxiang?"
"Heh heh... didn't he just say? We're in-laws," Yang Ce said.
"That... what kind of reason is that?" Zhang Hualan was taken aback.
Yang Ce shrugged. "Maybe we just hit it off."
