Chapter 742: This Person Isn’t Anxious About His Marriage Still

“Major-general, I still remember the first time I saw Qingjiu, I nearly knocked her down by my car.”

Huo Yingcheng had a slight smile on his face as he recalled the past.

Helian Niancheng only slightly moved his eyes but didn’t express his opinion.

“At the time I hadn’t expected that Qingjiu would one day turn out like this.”

Not just him, likely no one had expected this.

To think the ordinary-looking Gu Qingjiu of back then could one day grow into something like this.

On the screen, the way she protected Yin Ruoyi was filled with a strong resoluteness and self-confidence, like a ferocious beast with sharp senses, as though she was observing every single intruder that came into her territory.

“Mm.”

Helian Niancheng responded blandly. It was rare to see him agree with something.

Huo Yingcheng changed the topic. “Speaking of which, when are you guys planning to hold the wedding?”

“Soon. After she finishes this competition, I will first go to her home to propose marriage. Don’t the Chinese have such a custom?”

Huo Yingcheng let out a ‘tsk’ sound. “Oh please. You two have already registered your marriage. Surely your mother-in-law and father-in-law wouldn’t refuse to give their consent?”

Helian Niancheng’s voice was calm like pure water. “This is etiquette.”

“Then why was your proposal so slipshod back then?”

Helian Niancheng isn’t a romantic person. Hence, back then when he proposed to Gu Qingjiu, it just happened naturally.

It was like having a meal at home. He had simply taken out a ring and mentioned it in passing, and Gu Qingjiu, after pausing for two seconds, accepted his proposal.

None of the TV dramas that Huo Yingcheng had ever watched applied to these two.

Back then he had even planned to painstakingly help his major-general think up a romantic scenario for proposal. Who knew, these two didn’t play according to the rules.

He very nearly vomited blood out of anger.

“Once a relationship reaches a certain stage, there is no need to be particular about all this. But for the wedding, I will give her a once-in-a-lifetime wedding.”

In Helian Niancheng’s opinion, a proposal should be natural. But the wedding had to be serious.

Hence, he would give Gu Qingjiu an unforgettable wedding.

Over in Penalan, preparation was already underway.

Although Gu Qingjiu was aware, she didn’t know the details. Helian Niancheng would make the arrangements based on what she liked.

Hence, Gu Qingjiu didn’t know the exact details.

“Tsk.”

Huo Yingcheng seemed to disagree.

Helian Niancheng cast a glance at him. “You ought not to be concerned with my affairs. Instead, you should go find a proper girlfriend. How many times has your mother urged you?”

Never mind if she was just urging her son. But sometimes she would even cry in front of Helian Niancheng.

Since she was his elder, Helian Niancheng naturally couldn’t say anything. But anyone would be annoyed.

Hence, Helian Niancheng had more than on a few occasions bugged Huo Yingcheng about this.

Huo Yingcheng’s lips arched in an awkward smile. “No hurry, Major-general. Look at yourself. You only got married when you’re approaching 30. I still have one more year before I reach that...”

He was one to two years younger than Helian Niancheng.

Under Helian Niancheng’s gaze, which suddenly turned cold, Helian Niancheng swallowed the rest of his words into his stomach.

He, too, wanted to formally date someone!

But relationships are an illusory thing, to begin with. Just like back then nobody had expected Helian Niancheng to get married earlier than him.

Now that his wedding was about to take place, over on Huo Yingcheng’s side, he had indeed yet to find a girl who caught his fancy.

He was used to behaving frivolously throughout the years. Although he had had a few women, he never had a formal girlfriend.

Hence, seeing as Helian Niancheng was about to get married soon, and hearing no news from her son, Huo Yingcheng’s mother started getting anxious.
