Huo Xiuyuan originally thought that a young lady like Ruan Ying would have to coax her for a few more days before she could be tricked.

"I'll tell my mother about the engagement when I get home." Ruan Ying smiled sweetly against him.

Huo Xiuyuan stroked her soft hair, "Could it be... too urgent?"

He pretended to be swaying, looking a little uncertain.

"Don't you want to marry me?" Ruan Ying felt wronged.

From her point of view, the length of time that she finally met the destined person was meaningless to her.

Seeing Huo Xiuyuan's question, Ruan Ying immediately asked him back, but she didn't know that this happened to achieve Huo Xiuyuan's goal.

"Of course not," Huo Xiuyuan put on his gentle mask again, "I'm just worried that this will embarrass your family, after all, our time together is too short."

After he said this, Ruan Ying felt that Huo Xiuyuan was a rare and good lover, and the idea of ​​getting engaged became more and more determined in her heart.

"It's okay, my family will definitely agree!" She happily settled on this matter.

Huo Xiuyuan just smiled without saying a word. Seeing Ruan Ying like this, he just looked at her indulgently, as if he felt helpless for Ruan Ying's waywardness.

Then Ruan Ying went home and announced that she was going to be engaged to Huo Xiuyuan.

"Nonsense, engagement is not a trivial matter, how can you make an appointment?" Father Ruan obviously disagreed with a frown.

Ruan's mother also looked melancholy, "Yingying, have you made up your mind?"

Sitting beside her, Ruan Ying had the rare courage to meet the eyes of her father, who she was most afraid of.

"I'm an adult and can decide my own affairs!" she said with certainty.

Ruan Ying was determined, "I'm engaged to the person I love, what's the problem?"

Mother Ruan felt helpless when she heard her daughter's stubborn tone, but she frowned and didn't know how to persuade her.

Since she was a child, Ruan Ying was raised by them naively, always talking about finding her true son, at that time, Ruan's mother only thought that she was childish and didn't correct it, but now that Ruan Ying said that she wanted to get engaged, it was her first time. Once I didn't know how to refute.

"You—" Father Ruan was furious, "If you like it, you like it. Engagement is no small matter..."

"Have you really thought it through?" Mother Ruan also asked.

Hearing her mother's softened tone, Ruan Ying immediately cheered up and knew that she was about to agree.

She showed her usual coquettish energy again, "Of course I thought about it clearly, I can definitely see whether he loves me or not!"

As if to strengthen the credibility of her words, Ruan Ying nodded.

"Tell her about this. Our company has a meeting to leave first." Father Ruan didn't have time to mess around with his daughter.

But the meaning of letting go of these words also has the meaning of indulgence.

It doesn't matter if the daughter is naive, since Ruan Ying can't listen to what she said, Father Ruan doesn't mind letting her learn a lesson to wake up.

Only by letting Ruan Ying experience it herself can she know that some love can be faked, and some feelings can also be deliberately created by people. Not everyone spoils her like the Ruan family.

Looking at the back of her father leaving, Ruan Ying didn't feel slighted at all, instead she turned her eyes to her mother more happily.

Mother Ruan had a headache, "Have you figured it out? Engaged to Huo Xiuyuan?"

Ruan Ying nodded.

After all, Huo Xiuyuan was from the Huo family. Mother Ruan didn't resist after thinking about it, mainly because she had become a habit of pampering her daughter.

"Okay, the engagement is up to you." Ruan's mother took a step back, "but I will decide on the marriage."

As long as she is not married and does not touch the bottom line, Mother Ruan can indulge her daughter.

Ruan Ying's eyes lit up, and she didn't listen to the second half of Ruan's mother's words. "good!"

"That's the decision, Mom!" She happily stood up from the sofa.

She was going to tell Huo Xiuyuan the good news now.

Seeing her daughter running back to her room, Ruan's mother sighed silently, turned her head and began to call the housekeeper to arrange the engagement.

The news that the daughter of the Ruan family was going to get engaged quickly spread, especially when the other partner of the engagement was still a member of the Huo family, it caused an uproar.

The engagement invitations were quickly distributed to the major families, among which the Murong family and the Huo family were naturally the most honored ones.

It just so happened that Huo Hong was at home today, and the butler received the invitation and planned to send it to the study, but met Huo Xiuyuan on the way.

"Let me deliver it." He accepted the invitation with a smile.

Such a good thing, naturally had to tell Huo Hong in person, in order to satisfy Huo Xiuyuan.

Such good news almost made Huo Xiuyuan unable to suppress the joy in his heart, and it was rare that he didn't have a bad face. The housekeeper was surprised to see it.

Naturally, the housekeeper didn't want to say much, "Then I'll trouble you."

Huo Xiuyuan waved his hand, took the invitation and knocked on the door of the study.

"Come in." Huo Hong's steady voice sounded from inside.

This was the first time that Huo Xiuyuan's heart was filled with joy after hearing Huo Hong's voice, instead of being full of pressure as before.

Huo Xiuyuan walked in and stood in front of the table, "Ruan Ying and I are engaged."

"Ruan Ying?" Huo Hong was a little impressed.

The surname Ruan was so sensitive that Huo Hong looked away from the document and turned to look at Huo Xiuyuan.

There was approval in his eyes, "Good job."

Huo Xiuyuan put the invitation in front of Huo Hong, and the names of the two engaged people were clearly written on the bronzing invitation.

Huo Xiuyuan and Ruan Ying.

Huo Hong picked up the invitation card and looked at it carefully, and then showed a satisfied smile on his face, and the light in his eyes gleamed with the joy of gaining benefits.

It can be said that the matter of engagement directly erased all the mistakes Huo Xiuyuan made before in Huo Hong's mind.

As long as they can unite with the Ruan family, there is no need for the Murong family to be afraid to please.

"The Ruan family is very good, and I hope you can make good use of this opportunity." Huo Hong's thoughts did not stop there.

He typed a few words, "Take this opportunity to form a strong alliance with the Ruan family. As long as you control Ruan Ying well, it will be your biggest chance of winning."

Huo Xiuyuan listened quietly to Huo Hong's words, and then nodded solemnly under his attention.

"I see." He lowered his eyes, seemingly obedient.

That's exactly what Huo Hong likes to see the most.

Getting engaged is just a small step. To actually marry Ruan Ying and use her status to get help from the Ruan family is what Huo Xiuyuan wanted.

But Huo Hong took a longer-term view, so far that he could use Huo Xiuyuan to take advantage of the Ruan family's power, and even plan to annex the Ruan family in the future...

In a sense, Huo Hong and Huo Xiuyuan are surprisingly similar.

"Then I'll prepare for the engagement first." Huo Xiuyuan was about to step back.

Huo Hong stared at his nephew, and suddenly his heart moved. "On the day of the engagement, I will be there."

Huo Xiuyuan's body shook, and Huo Hong's meaningful voice came from behind him.

"I hope you don't disappoint me."

Huo Hong will be there, which is enough to show how much he attaches importance to this engagement.

While Huo Xiuyuan was happy, he also secretly tightened his heartstrings and planned to watch the engagement banquet closely to avoid any problems.

As for Huo Hong, who was sitting in the study, after Huo Xiuyuan left, he changed his happy expression just now, and instead showed a little hesitation in his eyes.

He rang the bell at hand and called the butler.

"How is Huo Yichen?" Huo Hong asked.

The butler lowered his head, "There is nothing unusual, at least on the surface it looks very peaceful."

It's still a moderate answer, at least people can't pick out the wrong place.

The housekeeper's face was calm, but he secretly began to wonder why Huo Hong would ask such a question. Could it be related to Huo Xiuyuan's departure just now?
