Taoist Master and the Cat - Chapter 202

Xie Jingyuan said frankly, “Miaomiao still has two games left. After the National Day Open, I plan to go to my uncle and aunt to propose marriage.”

Propose marriage?

Grandma Tao was amused by her grandson’s words, but she understood that it was necessary . When it was time to discuss marriage, the man would go to the woman’s home to formally meet the parents. Although the grandson and Su Mingan were already very familiar with each other, such a major event as marriage had to be discussed with the elders.

“Have you proposed to Miaomiao?” Grandma Tao asked, making Xie Jingyuan pause.

Grandma Tao asked him, “You haven’t asked yet?”

Xie Jingyuan nodded.

With the relationship between him and Su Miaomiao, there was no need to go through the process of “marriage proposal”, which had no practical meaning.

Grandma Tao scolded him, “Marriage is a once in a lifetime event. You can’t cancel such an important ceremony just because she likes you. Prepare what should be prepared, hurry up and do it. If you don’t understand, I’ll help you.”

“No need, I’ll do it myself, I know what to do.”

“You really know? Did you buy the engagement ring?”

Xie Jingyuan: “…”

He planned to take Su Miaomiao to choose a wedding ring. However, there was still time to prepare the engagement ring.

After dinner, Xie Jingyuan accompanied Grandma Tao to the square.

Grandma Tao was very popular in the square. Whether it was her square dance partners or other old men and women, seeing her bring her grandson over, they all gathered around to join in the fun.

“Oh, I haven’t seen Xiao Xie for a long time, he has grown so tall!”

“I heard that Xiao Xie started his own company right? You got so great just after graduation!”

“Of course, there is also that little girl from the Su family, the one who won the tennis championship!”

Everyone praised Jing Yuan and Su Miaomiao, just like they praised Grandma Tao directly, who smiled radiantly.

Xie Jingyuan had been studying far away for those years, and had just come back. At that moment, he was patiently standing beside Grandma Tao. He would answer patiently when the uncles and aunts asked questions. Although the language was concise, Grandma Tao even needed to translate it for him.

When Grandma Tao was about to start dancing, he sat on the bench beside her and watched, thinking about how to propose.

At that moment, he suddenly got a call. Xie Jingyuan answered, raised the phone to his ear, and waited for the other side to speak first.

Xie Rong said, “Where are you? It sounds so lively.”

Xie Rong guessed what was going on with his son, “Did you go back home with Miaomiao? You and Miaomiao are so close, have you thought about when to get married?”

Xie Jingyuan suddenly remembered what Su Miaomiao said before, saying that the elders liked to urge marriages.

“There is a plan, and you will be notified when the wedding date is confirmed.”

Xie Rong understood his son’s implication, that was to say, besides being able to attend his son’s wedding, he didn’t need him to worry about other things.

“Fine, it’s good that you have a plan, but if you really want to hold a wedding, you still need to invite more relatives and friends from the two families to show that you attach great importance to Miaomiao.”

“Okay, you spend more time with your grandma, bye.”

The call between the father and son ended so simply.

Xie Jingyuan thought that Xie Rong was better than his father in his previous life, but unfortunately he was not a real child and it was difficult to cultivate feelings with a father like Xie Rong who was so busy that he only saw him once or twice a month. So what kind of father-son relationship was there?

At eight o’clock, Xie Jingyuan accompanied Grandma Tao back to the community after dancing.

Grandma Tao wanted to take a bath, so Xie Jingyuan sat down at the desk, picked up a pen, and drew something on the paper.

Some skills were ones he learned in modern society, but painting was something he knew in his previous life.

Su Miaomiao sat on her bed and asked him in a low voice, “Taoist Master, I want to go and sleep with you.”

She hadn’t seen the Taoist master for a whole afternoon, and she wanted to be with her parents when she was awake, but since she was going to sleep, she wanted to sleep in his room.

Xie Jingyuan didn’t dare to let her do what she liked at that time. If Su Mingan found out, he might be so angry that he would refuse his marriage proposal.

Su Miaomiao asked, “Why not?”

“…Uncle and aunt will get sad, thinking that you don’t miss them at all.”

Su Miaomiao couldn’t bear to make such good parents sad, so she agreed.

“Jing Yuan, are you busy?” Grandma Tao passed by the study and asked suspiciously when she saw her grandson sitting at the desk as if he were studying.

Xie Jingyuan stopped writing, stood up and said, “It’s nothing.”

After Grandma Tao finally fell asleep after chatting, Xie Jingyuan continued to draw.

At around midnight, a newly-finished drawing of a ring appeared. There were some complicated patterns drawn on the inside and outside of the ring.

The next morning, Tang Shiwei was going to the hospital to work overtime, and Su Mingan suggested taking his daughter to the mall.

“Let’s ask grandma to go with us.”

Su Mingan knew that his daughter wanted Xie Jingyuan to come.

Maybe his daughter was getting older and the generation gap with her family was getting stronger, so she liked Xie Jingyuan more.

Su Mingan wanted his daughter to be happy, so he went to invite Grandma Tao and her grandson.

After staying in the mall for a long time, and then having a meal with Tang Shiwei at noon, Xie Jingyuan took Su Miaomiao on the return bus.
