They announced the purpose of their visit.

He Xiyan pursed her lips but she didnt agree immediately to their proposal. She still needed time to think through this matter because she didnt know Jiang Cheng well enough.

Wang Min smiled radiantly.

She looked at her husband before she turned to He Xiyan and added, Mrs. Ye, please feel free to state your conditions. We could select a wedding date together and even hold the wedding ceremony in accordance with your preferences.

She sounded very eager to please.

She had been worried that her son wouldnt be able to end up dating Xi Xi but they now even had a child together.

This was great news.

He Xiyan frowned at Wang Mins words. She felt progressively more upset as she listened to WangMins words but she couldnt express her displeasure as she was too polite to do so.

Lets continue discussions after my husband is back, she said.

The Jiangs exchanged a glance and it was as though they had come to an agreement. Soon, they smiled politely and Jiang Zhentao said, Of course. We will wait for Mr. Ye to come home and hold the discussions together.

They had been extremely polite since they stepped into the castle.

They had just spoken when footsteps could be heard at the doorway. It was the measured and steady clicks of leather shoes on the floor.

Ye Hao wore a dark gray suit and his expression was inscrutable.

He walked toward the living room.

Wang Min and Jiang Zhentao had already risen to their feet at the sound of footsteps. They beamed from ear to ear and this was especially so for Wang Min. She smiled so widely that wrinkles appeared on the corners of her eyes.

Hello, Mr. Ye Jiang Zhentao said as he greeted Ye Hao and stretched out his right hand politely.

Ye Hao stopped in his tracks and looked at this middle-aged couple who seemed completely unfamiliar to him. He could have met them before but he had no recollection of doing so.

He frowned and it was a while before he finally stretched out his hand politely and grasped Jiang Zhentaos hand.

You are?

Ye Hao knew who they were but he still asked them to introduce themselves.

Wang Min carefully studied the man in front of her.

These were her sons future father-in-law, the richest man in Ye City.

The thought of becoming in-laws with the Ye family filled her with excitement.

Mr. Ye, Im Jiang Chengs mother and this is my husband, Wang Min said with a bright smile and her happiness and excitement.

He Xiyan walked over to her husbands side and said, They are Jiang Chengs parents.

Ye Hao smiled politely at them but his expression remained unreadable.

He gestured for them to sit. Please take a seat.

They sat on the sofa in the living room and two sets of middle-aged parents, the parents of both children sat across each other.

Jiang Zhentao took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket and offered Ye Hao one since the traditional way of men greeting each other was to exchange a cigarette.

Ye Haos expression was cold and he declined Jiang Zhentaos offer politely. I dont smoke, he said.

He would smoke occasionally whenever he was upset or under a lot of pressure but he wasnt in the mood to smoke at the moment.

Jiang Zhentao awkwardly stuffed his cigarette back into his pocket.

He felt embarrassed to smoke in front of Ye Hao if the master of the household wasnt doing so. This was despite the fact that he was a smoking addict and would smoke one to two packets of cigarettes in a day.
