472: They discussed Lu Jing and Xiao Niannian's engagement.

Chief Gu's gaze swept over Lu Jing like an X-ray.

Xiao Niannian felt a little nervous, as if she had been caught dating early by her father.

"Dad, we had lunch here today with Brother Shen, Brother Xu, and a few others. They even gave me a welcoming gift."

Hearing his daughter's explanation, Chief Gu hummed in acknowledgment. He looked coldly at Lu Jing, but spoke gently.

"Take Dad next door for a look."

"Okay."

Chief Gu looked at the house gifted to his daughter. Its decoration was very similar to Lu Jing's house, and the backyard even had such a large training ground. He felt somewhat satisfied, yet he also felt that this brat Lu Jing was trying to coax his daughter away.

So that's how it was. If this brat Lu Jing dared to lure his daughter over and do anything to her before marriage, he would definitely break Lu Jing's legs.

After looking around carefully, Chief Gu was very satisfied. Although the house was not decorated like other typical houses, it was novel and looked very comfortable.

"Dad, sometimes when I'm busy, I won't go back and bother Grandparents. I'll just live here..."

Hearing his daughter's words, Father Gu immediately said.

"That won't do. You must live at home. The Grandparents don't think you bother them..."

She isn't married yet, how can she live outside? It's so dangerous out there.

"In the future, you still need to live at home. You can come over during the day to visit..."

Chief Gu instructed.

Hearing her father's words, Xiao Niannian looked at Lu Jing.

Lu Jing was looking right back at her.

"Precious, Dad is off today and tomorrow. Let's go home, and I'll cook for you."

Hearing her father's words, Xiao Niannian nodded.

"Okay."

Xiao Niannian followed her father back home.

Seeing her Granddaughter, Grandma Gu waved at her.

"Niannian, come quickly, the grandmas have something to ask you."

Hearing Grandma's words, Xiao Niannian sat down.

"Grandma, what is it?"

Xiao Niannian looked at Grandma with confusion.

Grandma Gu and Grandma Xiao looked at her with smiles.

"Precious, what do you think of Lu Jing?"

Huh?

Xiao Niannian looked at them confusedly. What did the grandmas mean by asking that?

What about Lu Jing?

"This morning, Grandpa Lu and Grandma Lu came to our house. They said they wanted to propose marriage for Lu Jing..."

Huh?

They want to propose marriage now?

Didn't Lu Jing say that everything would be up to her?

Seeing her Granddaughter's surprised look, Grandma Gu said with a smile.

"They don't mean getting married right now, they mean getting engaged first... You are still young, but Xiao Jing has reached the age, so let's settle the marriage first..."

Before Grandma Gu could finish speaking, Father Gu exploded upon hearing it.

"I don't agree. My daughter has only been home for a year! I want to keep her for a few more years..." Father Gu stood up angrily.

He was the last person to know about the engagement! This was his daughter getting married off!!!

"Eldest Son, don't rush. We mentioned this matter to you before."

"Mom, you did mention it, but you didn't say we'd get engaged right now..."

Father Gu grew angrier the more he spoke.

His Precious daughter, whom he just found, and his wife hasn't even been found yet. How could he marry his daughter off now?

"Dad."

Seeing her father getting angry, Xiao Niannian immediately called out to him.

Hearing his daughter's voice, Father Gu immediately put on a smile.

"Precious, Dad isn't angry at you or the Grandparents."

Chief Gu sat down next to his daughter with a smile and said.

"Dad just wants to keep you for a few more years. You are still young, and having just graduated from the Military Academy, you should focus more on your career..."

Seeing his daughter looking at him, Chief Gu continued.

"Precious, Dad isn't stopping you from dating, Dad just can't bear to lose you..."

Chief Gu's eyes reddened.

"Dad, I know what you mean."

Xiao Niannian hadn't expected her father to react this way.

Grandpa Gu spoke up.

"Eldest Son, we aren't marrying Niannian off right away. If you can't bear it, can your mother and I bear it? It's just an engagement for now; they will marry in two years."

Seeing that his Eldest Son still wanted to argue, Grandpa Gu frowned.

Father Gu didn't speak, but his expression remained unpleasant.

"Niannian, go back upstairs and rest first. We need to talk to your father."

Xiao Niannian nodded.

"Okay."

"Eldest Son, come into the study with me."

Grandma Gu and Grandma Xiao also followed them in.

"Bang."

As soon as they entered, Grandpa Gu had Father Gu close the door, and then he slammed his hand on the table.

"Who were you giving attitude to just now? If you can't bear to lose your daughter, can we bear it? This is just an engagement, not a marriage. What are you making your daughter do by saying things like that..."

Although Grandpa Gu often bickered with his old Comrades-in-arms, he hadn't scolded his son in years.

"Dad, I really didn't mean that. I'm just angry at that brat Lu Jing. We never agreed to him dating our daughter, and now he sent Uncle Lu and Aunt Lu over to talk about the engagement..."

Grandpa Gu looked at his Eldest Son and continued.

"All day long, your thoughts are on your work. You don't care about your daughter at all..."

Hearing this, Father Gu immediately retorted.

"Dad, how am I not caring about my daughter? When I have time, I call her, I save all my salary for her, and I buy all her food and necessities..."

Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted.

"You care about everything else, but not her romantic life..."

Huh? Care about his daughter's romantic life? His daughter is still young, what romantic life?

"Xiao Jing and Precious are already preparing to submit their Dating Application."

Grandpa Gu's words exploded like a bomb, stunning Father Gu.

"Dad, you said they submitted a Dating Application? How is that possible?"

Hearing this, Father Gu didn't believe it at all.

"This matter, Xiao Chen called me about it, saying it would be in a few days..."

Xiao Niannian was upstairs, listening to the elders talk.

She hadn't expected Lu Jing to call the Captain ahead of time, and for Grandpa to find out so quickly.

No wonder as soon as she returned today, the Grandparents started talking about the engagement.

"How is that possible! Precious didn't tell me anything."

Lu Jing and his daughter were submitting a Dating Application? His daughter didn't tell him about this! Could it be that Lu Jing coaxed his daughter into agreeing and planned to act first and report later?

Father Gu was speechless for a moment.

"You..."

"Xiao Jing is a child that Aunt Xiao and I both really like. We fully approve of the two of them dating, and now we are discussing the engagement." Grandma Gu spoke up.

"Niannian's vacation is only for these few days. The next time we see her might be next winter."

Father Gu said, feeling wronged.

"Next winter is still good."

He truly couldn't bear for his daughter to get engaged so early. That brat Lu Jing was dating his daughter, and secretly at that.

For a moment, he mentally made several notes against Lu Jing.

"If they get engaged first, both our families will be happy..."

Grandma Xiao also spoke.

"Xiao Qi, your parents are right, and I, your Aunt, strongly agree."
