Guan Xin Is Engaged?!

“Okay, please you first…” Guan Xiaoxiang couldn’t pinpoint Kang Zhaoming’s purpose for holding this meeting. Nevertheless, he was from House Kang and they were both in the same line of business. His company and House Kang frequently worked together so he didn’t dare to upset Kang Zhaoming.

Once they entered the study room, Guan Xiaoxiang sat on the couch, while Kang Zhaoming remained in his wheelchair. Guan Xiaoxiang thought it was time to drop the formalities as he asked the person standing by Kang Zhaoming, “You are?”

“Uncle Guan, no need to pay attention to him. He is just my friend, he’s just here to help me move around,” Kang Zhaoming waved his hand nonchalantly.

“Okay, well why did you come for a visit?” Guan Xiaoxiang couldn’t figure out the reason for the unexpected visit. How did Kang Zhaoming know that he would be here? Was it just a coincidence? Even though he was suspicious, he didn’t mention it at all, he had to hear what Kang Zhaoming would say first.

“Uncle Guan, the reason for this visit… I feel slightly embarrassed to say the reason why…” Kang Zhaoming purposely scratched his head, “I didn’t come here to represent my grandfather nor Miracle Doctor Kang’s medical company. It is for myself…”

“Oh?” Guan Xiaoxiang frowned. He just sounded suspicious, but didn’t ask any questions.

“Haha… Uncle Guan, I didn’t want to bother you so suddenly, but I have a reason for it! So… remember when I told you that I broke my leg, I went to the hospital to have it treated. That was where I met miss Guan Xin. She patiently took care of it until I was able to leave the hospital early! Miss Guan Xin is a beautiful and kind lady, and moved my heart! Girls like her are hard to find, so I really respect miss Guan Xin. I came here wanting to befriend her, so I was hoping Uncle wouldn’t reject us…”

“Beautiful and kind girls are hard to find? So you mean you just want to be friends with Guan Xin?” Guan Xin ‘s brows were in a cluster from frowning so much.

“Ah, it is indeed close to that, Uncle Guan. I don’t mean to befriend Guan Xin immediately. I just wish for an opportunity from you, if we aren’t a match, then I will know when to give up!” Kang Zhaoming tried his best to sound as pathetic as he could so that he could earn the most empathy points. His terms were to ask for an opportunity of a union from which both sides of the Houses could benefit from. It would be unfathomable for Guan Xiaoxiang to reject the terms since it would mean disrespecting House Kang! Once he was finished his side of the story, he was expecting Guan Xiaoxiang to agree. However, what followed was rejection!

“I’m very sorry, but I can’t agree to your request,” Guan Xiaoxiang replied after hearing the request. He undoubtedly heard the full request and he calmly rejected it, without giving any care for Kang Zhaoming’s pride!

Kang Zhaoming’s request was straightforward, with polite intention, but a sloppy execution. It gave off the feeling that he didn’t have any bad intentions! The reason for this was because the dialogue had been scripted with Wang Shubin’s assistance. This way, his performance is smooth and uninterrupted, which would appeal to Guan Xiaoxiang’s feelings. However, he didn’t expect that Guan Xiaoxiang would directly reject him, which stunned Kang Zhaoming as he wasn’t prepared for this scenario!

“Ah… Well…” Kang Zhaoming couldn’t handle the shock. Why? He had planned his words carefully. He was just asking for an opportunity, he didn’t ask to be with her. Even that is not possible? Thinking up to this point, Kang Zhaoming was starting to get heated up, but he refrained from an emotional outburst. He just asked, “Uncle Guan, may I know the reason why? Guan Xin isn’t young anymore, she is close to the age where she should be marrying. As for my qualities, is there anything that Uncle Guan doesn’t like about me? If there is anything bothering you, I can try changing if it is possible,”

“Oh, this has nothing to do with you!” Guan Xiaoxiang waved his hands, “It is as you said, you are Miracle Doctor Kang’s grandson! As an Elder, I should give you an opportunity, but I cannot do that as it is out of my powers! The reason is because Xinxin has had an arranged marriage since she was young. It’s the type of arranged marriage that was predestined many years ago. It is not that I have any bad feelings toward you, but that Guan Xin has a fiance already. So how can I give my approval knowingly? It is just unrealistic!”

“She has a fiance already?” Kang Zhaoming’s expression turned sour! He thought that Guan Xiaoxiang had heard negative rumors about his name, so he was rejected. He didn’t think that it was because of another reason! He thought that as long as he could work hard on resolving the problem then he could talk his way through with no problem. But how can he talk his way through this? Guan Xiaoxiang had clearly stated his stance on this issue. Guan Xin already had a fiance, even if he worked hard, it wouldn’t change that fact.

Guan Xin and Guan Xiaoxiang already had their own stances, and no matter what Kang Zhaoming said it wouldn’t change a thing. He couldn’t change Guan Xiaoxiang’s opinion!

Kang Zhaoming didn’t think it was possible that Guan Xiaoxiang was lying to him. There was no reason for him to lie. With Guan Xiaoxiang’s status, if he wanted to reject the offer then he had the final say. As of right now, House Kang wasn’t a noble house, so Guan Xiaoxiang had no reason to give face!

With Guan Xiaoxiang’s word, Kang Zhaoming had to give up completely! If she already had a fiance, then no matter how good their relationship became, it would never be marriage material. Kang Zhaoming sighed, without any other reason to stay, he said, “Well if it’s like that, then I shouldn’t bother Uncle Guan anymore…”

“Kang Zhaoming, you are Miracle Doctor Kang’s grandson, that is a very exceptional quality. You don’t have to focus on a tree to give up the whole forest. Xinxin has an arranged marriage already and that can’t be changed. I hope you are able to grow positively from this experience!” Guan Xiaoxiang tried to offer words of encouragement. In the end, this kid was Miracle Doctor Kang’s grandson, Guan Xiaoxiang had to give him some face.

Kang Zhaoming heard the words of comfort, even if he believed in Guan Xiaoxiang’s words, he was still heated from the outcome. He was so angry that he wanted to have the last word. He curiously asked, “I heard that Guan Xin was getting familiar with a person called Lin Yi recently. Could that person be Guan Xin’s fiance?”

Kang Zhaoming knew that Lin Yi was definitely not Guan Xin’s fiance, but he purposely let that slip out as provocation.

“Oh? Lin Yi?” Guan Xiaoxiang had a slight unpleasant look. This Lin Yi again? Could it be that there is something going on between Lin Yi and Guan Xin? However, in front of Kang Zhaoming, Guan Xiaoxiang didn’t add anything about the issue. He plainly replied, “Oh, you don’t need to worry too much about that.”

Kang Zhaoming sneered in his heart. Oh Lin Yi, it is because you had insulted me that I won’t let you win her over. You can forget about it! Ha! Without giving his inner feelings away, Kang Zhaoming held his poker face on and said, “Well Uncle Guan, since that is the case, then I will take my leave!”

“Then take your time,” Guan Xiaoxiang knew of the purpose behind his visit so he didn’t bother to continue trying to build a connection with Kang Zhaoming.

Meanwhile, Guan Xin saw that her father and Kang Zhaoming entered the study room. She had been worried about what Kang Zhaoming would say to her father so she waited until they had entered into the study room before lightly creeping her way to the door to eavesdrop on their conversation.
