Sir, How About A Marriage?

Chapter 237: Deliberate

Cheng Che’s face was a little red. He asked, flustered, “You… Why are you here?”

Only then did Jiahui remember the purpose of her visit. She hurriedly handed the food container to Cheng Che and explained, “Song Ning is going to accompany Grandma today so she doesn’t have time to send you food. I’m helping her to send you food…”

Cheng Che’s eyes lit up as he took the food container from Jiahui. “Then have you eaten?”

Jiahui nodded. “Song Ning and I ate at home.”

Cheng Che’s brain cells finally woke up at this moment. He invited Jiahui into his office before he said, “Wait for me. I’ll be done in a moment…”

Cheng Che seemed to have broken the Guinness World Record for showering and changing in record time. He left the black-rimmed glasses on since Jiahui said he looked like an anime character. Although he did not know which anime character she was referring to, based on her reaction, she seemed to like that anime character.

When Cheng Che appeared in front of Jiahui again, he regained his handsome Young Master appearance that Jiahui was familiar with.

Jiahui helped him set up the table before she looked around the office. When she saw the documents littered all over his desk and the floor, she asked, “Are you working overtime alone?”

Cheng Che shook his head as he ate. “How is that possible? I’m not made of iron; I can’t possibly handle so much workload alone. Brother Chen has been working overtime as well. There’s also an entire floor of staff who’re working downstairs…”

Jiahui nodded. It seemed like Cheng Che was not the type to claim all credit for himself.

Cheng Che pointed at the food and said, “Sister-in-law’s cooking is really delicious.”

Jiahui said, “Song Ning and I cooked the food today…”

Upon hearing this, Cheng Che hastily said, “You can cook as well? You’re really amazing and outstanding!”

Jiahui blushed when she heard Cheng Che’s words.

Cheng Che asked curiously, “Why did both of you learn to cook? Didn’t you say girls nowadays don’t necessarily have to be skilled in housework? Or do all girls studying Chinese Medicine have to learn to cook?”

Jiahui explained, “Our family has been practicing medicine for generations. Since food plays a part in our health, our family pays great attention to diet. Every child in my family has to learn how to cook. It’s the same for Song Ning. Her grandfather was a widely known expert.”

Cheng Che nodded, impressed. Then, after chewing on a piece of rib, he averted his eyes as he asked, “Then, do your parents want you to marry a doctor in the future?”

Jiahui coughed, flustered, before she replied, “My father’s requirements are very low. He just wants me to find someone who will treat me well…”

Cheng Che’s eyes shifted back to Jiahui’s cute and round face. After swallowing the food in his mouth, he adjusted the glasses on the bridge of his nose and nervously asked, “T-then what do you think about me?”

Jiahui was stunned by Cheng Che’s straightforward words, and her face flushed red immediately.

Cheng Che grew more confident as he said, “Jiahui, I’ve liked you for a long time. I hope you can be my girlfriend.”

Jiahui blushed, remaining silent.

Cheng Che continued to say, “I’m 26 years old. I have a Master’s degree and studied abroad for two years. Currently, I’m working for the Mu family. I’m an orphan so Mu Chen and Grandma are my family. I have a house, a car, and a little savings. I don’t have any bad habits, and I have a wide range of interests. Uh, if there’s any skill you like me to learn, I’ll try my best to learn them. As long as you agree to become my girlfriend, I’ll work hard to be worthy of you.”

Jiahui did not know how to respond to Cheng Che’s unique and direct confession.

Cheng Che stared at Jiahui intently and asked, “Can you accept me? I’ve liked you since the moment I saw you. Grandma likes you as well. Grandma said if I fail to make you my girlfriend, she’ll kick me out of the house and disown me…”

Cheng Che used both the hard and soft approach. Mu Chen had told him that he should not hold back from using all kinds of methods to ensure his success. This applied to work, which yielded great success, so it should be effective when pursuing a girl as well.
