After hanging up the phone, Mengyao finally looked at Ye Fan.
"So, what should we do about this?" Mengyao asked gently.
"What else can we do? Let's go to your house. Your parents are urging you, and you've agreed. We can't keep delaying it," Ye Fan replied affirmatively.
Ye Fan, Mengyao, and Biyao all understood Xu Li and Chu Zhongtian's intentions. It was evident from the brief phone conversation that the couple was urging their daughter to get engaged, which was a good thing.
"But if we go home, we'll have to face pressure to get married," Mengyao said hesitantly.
"If they urge us to get married, so be it. What's there to be afraid of? Why don't we just go along with our elders and get engaged first?" Ye Fan suggested consultatively, naturally respecting Mengyao's choice. However, his tone was very confident, with no hint of doubt. He had already willingly accepted the idea of getting engaged.
"Ah, are we really going to get engaged?" Mengyao's cheeks suddenly turned rosy. Despite having a deep emotional connection with Ye Fan, she still felt a bit shy when faced with the possibility of really getting engaged.
After all, emotions are one thing, but if they do get engaged, their relationship would change significantly.
This transitional process is far from simple.
"Of course the engagement is real; it's not fake," Ye Fan declared decisively.
"Really? Have you thought it through?" Mengyao, calming her excitement, seriously asked.
"Absolutely. In fact, I've had this idea for a while. Now that your family is pushing for it, it seems only natural. Moreover, my uncle and aunt keep urging me over the phone to confirm our relationship quickly, as if they're afraid you'd run away," Ye Fan thought of Ye Qingping and Xu Xia, feeling a sense of awe at how their attitudes were similar to Mengyao's parents.
"But..." Mengyao wanted to say something but hesitated, feeling a bit guilty towards Fire Phoenix.
As soon as she was about to speak, Ye Fan understood Mengyao's concern and immediately interrupted, confidently saying, "There's no 'but.' If I say we're getting engaged, then we're getting engaged. This won't change."
"Awesome, my brother-in-law is so domineering," Biyao giggled, her clear eyes twinkling with amusement. She gave Ye Fan a thumbs-up, laughing cheerfully, "As expected of my brother-in-law. Even when talking about engagement, he's so commanding and impressive, not giving my sister any room for doubt. Brother-in-law, you sure have a lot of masculine charm."
Biyao understood her sister's concerns, but Ye Fan's words were encouraging for her. No matter what, being able to witness Ye Fan and her sister's engagement was a big joyous occasion.
"Sister, seeing your blushing face, I know you're eager to get engaged to Ye Fan. Just agree quickly; don't be shy," Biyao exclaimed excitedly, looking at her sister's expression.
Truth be told, Mengyao was quite thrilled and looked forward to the engagement.
Now that Ye Fan had come this far, there's no reason for her to hesitate. She declared confidently, "Whatever you say goes, engagement."
On the surface, Mengyao seemed to be following Ye Fan's lead, but in reality, she was overjoyed and had been waiting for this moment.
"Yay!" Biyao cheered, incredibly delighted.
Ye Fan and Mengyao, after a discussion, reached a mutual understanding about the engagement. They both acknowledged this fact, and in front of their elders, there was no need to be evasive anymore.
"Brother-in-law, sister, though you've confirmed this significant relationship, your conversation earlier was quite peculiar. It took just a few words to decide on the engagement; that's pretty remarkable," Biyao couldn't help but laugh.
Her heart was truly happy. Her sister was rather cold-natured, but after meeting Ye Fan, she became lively. Previously, her family's concern was her sister's lifestyle, but now there's no need to worry.
"What's so strange about it? So nosy," Mengyao composed herself and retorted with a glance at her sister.
"Exactly," Ye Fan sided with Mengyao, giving Biyao a look that showed he found her amazed reaction unwarranted.
"Oh wow, you've already become such a harmonious couple, teaming up to pick on me," Biyao laughed.
"Don't tease," Mengyao admonished lightly.
"Alright, alright, I won't say anything else. You two should just enjoy your happiness," Biyao chuckled contentedly.
Indeed, Ye Fan and Mengyao were both very happy. Confirming this relationship also meant their relationship had taken another step forward. Even before this formal acknowledgment, there had been no impediments to their harmonious relationship, but now the connection through their families brought them closer. It was quite a breakthrough.
Qiu Wen and Han Bihong were still sparring on the platform outside the villa. Biyao gathered everyone together, keeping them in suspense, "There's a big news I must personally tell you. Do you want to know what it is?"
"Of course we want to know; hurry up and tell us, what's the news?" Han Bihong asked curiously.
"Looking at your serious expression, you're radiating such a joyous vibe. It must be good news, right?" Du Xueqi said.
"Stop keeping us in suspense. Just say it quickly," Qiu Wen urged.
All the girls sensed it was good news, but they couldn't guess what it was, naturally becoming curious.
Ye Fan and Mengyao were about to get engaged; such a big event made it inevitable for Biyao to share the news with those around her as soon as possible.
"My dear sister and brother-in-law are getting engaged," Biyao announced loudly.
The atmosphere froze for a moment, then the girls' faces lit up with joy, and none of them seemed surprised.
Because they all felt that Ye Fan and Mengyao should have gotten engaged long ago.
"Benefactor, boss, congratulations, congratulations! You've already achieved success in your relationship; all that's left is the family's blessing and a wedding," Han Bihong and her girlfriends congratulated them, sincerely believing this decision was long overdue.
"Master, congratulations! You're just one step away from capturing Mengyao. You have to keep it up!" Qiu Wen playfully teased, raising her fist to encourage her master.
"Haha..." The girls burst into laughter, holding their bellies as they doubled over with mirth.
"Ah, Qiu Wen, your mouth is quite sharp. Well said," Biyao praised.
Mengyao's face reddened, feeling the urge to find a hole to hide in.
"Always hitting the sore spot," Ye Fan reprimanded with a stern face.
"Master, don't be so serious. It's a joyous moment, and I'm just joking. No harm done," Qiu Wen teased with a smile, showing no fear of her seemingly cold yet warm-hearted master.
