Jiang Zongjin retracted his chin a little, but he was also shocked by this news in his heart. He couldn’t accept it.
The Ye and Jiang families had always had a marriage arrangement, but only he and the old man knew about this.
Whether it was the old man or him, they had never taken the verbal engagement between the two families to heart. They both felt that Qiao Nian and Ye Wangchuan were not compatible.
Who knew…
Jiang Zongjin really could not accept it.
However, he couldn’t bear to tell his precious daughter off. He subconsciously looked at the young man opposite him and frowned. The favorable impression he had previously almost disappeared. “What? When did this happen?”
“Recently.” Qiao Nian tilted her head, her eyes dark and beautiful. “Yes… the probation period has just expired.”
“Probation period??? What do you mean?” Jiang Zongjin felt that he couldn’t keep up with the young people.
There was a probation period for love? What was that?
He thought of how Ye Wangchuan had been staying in Rao City previously, and his heart sank. A thought popped up in his mind. Could they have dated during Nian Nian’s college entrance examination?
Ye Wangchuan was too insensible!
And Jiang Li. Why had he never mentioned this to him?
Jiang Zongjin’s mind was a mess. He couldn’t figure out what was going on for a moment amidst his mixed feelings. The next moment, he felt guilty that he was busy with scientific research and did not care about his daughter. He couldn’t accept that his precious daughter, whom he had just found, had been stolen under his nose.
This was the first time he had experienced the bitterness and frustration of being a father! Jiang Zongjin was completely dumbfounded and did not know how to deal with the sudden situation in front of him.
“Uncle Jiang.” Ye Wangchuan did not expect Qiao Nian to admit his identity. There was a faint light in his eyes, and his thin lips were very pale. His gentlemanly smile was polite. “I was not considerate enough in my thinking and didn’t tell you in advance.”
He looked at Qiao Nian with gentle eyes.
His aura was reserved, but it couldn’t hide his nobility and upbringing. “Nian Nian is very outstanding. She’s more outstanding than all the people I’ve met. That’s why I can’t help but be attracted to her. The more I understand her, the more I realize that she has many brilliant points… Uncle Jiang, Qiao Nian really is the most outstanding girl I’ve ever seen. She’s impeccable in all aspects! I might still have many shortcomings, but I’ll work hard to be a good man who can shelter her from the wind and rain.”
Jiang Zongjin was speechless. It was mainly because he did not expect Ye Wangchuan to lower himself so much. It was so low that even he, her father, had nothing to say. “You… don’t have to say that.”
Ye Wangchuan was the most outstanding person among the younger generation in Beijing. No one would deny his excellence.
Even though Jiang Zongjin did not like that Ye Wangchuan had taken his precious girl, he couldn’t say that he was not worthy of her.
Putting everything else aside, Ye Wangchuan was actually an outstanding young man. He wouldn’t have such a big reaction if not for his high status.
“You’re quite outstanding, too,” Jiang Zongjin said with some unpleasantness.
Ye Wangchuan looked at him and smiled seriously. “Uncle Jiang, I’m serious about everything I say. Nian Nian is the best girl I’ve ever seen.”
Jiang Zongjin was stunned and did not reply for a moment. However, his initial dissatisfaction had mostly disappeared, and he inexplicably began to accept this matter.
The main reason was that Ye Wangchuan’s attitude was too humble. There was also one thing that he was especially satisfied with—everyone felt that Qiao Nian was inferior to Jiang Xianrou, or even many people in Beijing. However, every word Ye Wangchuan said was that his daughter was very outstanding. She was not inferior to anyone!
