Chapter 1977: Jiang Xun’s Engagement (6)
So when she found out that the whole family could return to Yuansu for the summer vacation, she was really happy and even a bit impatient.
However, compared to her happiness, the mood of the other two people on the same land was not so delightful.
First, there was Duan Qianyang, whose mood was simply terrible after receiving a call from Duan Sishu.
Engagement is not marriage and has no age restriction. As long as both parties are willing, any age will do, just like when Ruan Jiaojiao and Duan Xi got engaged. Ruan Jiaojiao was even younger than Feng Nianian, but the two were in love, and both families agreed. Engagement was a good thing, a joyous occasion.
But the same thing did not apply to Feng Nianian and Jiang Xun.
As an uncle, there were some things he shouldn’t say, but Feng Nianian’s behavior of getting married and pregnant first made him feel shameless. Although he was not as concerned with appearances as the old master of the Duan family used to be, it didn’t mean he was shameless.
"So you care about face, and I shouldn’t?" Duan Qirui, dressed in white from head to toe, posed a soul-searching question as he heard Duan Qianyang asking him to go see Duan Sishu, standing in front of the desk with a frown.
Duan Qianyang stood up from behind the desk, walked over, wanting to pat his shoulder, but faced with his gaze full of disdain, he had to retract his hand and spoke earnestly, "When I go out, I represent the Duan family. Qirui, you are different. You go just as an uncle."
Indeed, as Duan Sishu said, Feng Nianian doesn’t have a father, so these matters need a man to take the lead. As her uncle, it’s their duty, but his involvement and Duan Qirui’s are entirely different. He represents the entire Duan family, whereas Duan Qirui only represents the role of an uncle.
After Duan Qianyang finished speaking, seeing Duan Qirui still unmoved, his green eyes flickered, thinking of something, and tentatively asked, "Recently, we got a batch of excellent leather gloves. They’re said to be really useful. How about I ask Assistant Wu to send fifty pairs to you?"
Duan Qirui remained silent.
"One hundred pairs?" Duan Qianyang upped the ante.
