Chapter 1992: Meng Han's Marriage is Set

Liao Shi and Gan Yujing immediately assured, "There won't be any more issues. Rest assured, after the marriage is settled, no one can disrupt Ah Rui and Ah Han's relationship."

However, Tao Shi nodded reluctantly, though she still felt something was amiss.

Shu Yu didn't interfere; she had resolved the matter with Cheng Jiatong, so the marriage discussions weren't her concern.

Troubles exist in both big and small households. There's no such thing as a perfect situation; it all depends on the individuals involved.

After clearing up the misunderstandings, the atmosphere between Tao Shi, Liao Shi, and Gan Yujing became much more harmonious.

They decided to choose a suitable day for the formal visit, and Liao Shi invited Tao Shi and Meng Han to their home.

Tao Shi considered for a moment and asked Shu Yu if she was interested, but Shu Yu had other engagements and declined the invitation.

When Tao Shi returned in the evening, she was in high spirits. The earlier discomfort seemed to have disappeared. She said, "The Gan family is truly impressive. Each courtyard is spacious. I even visited Gan Rui's courtyard—serene, comfortable, and all to themselves. I think Ah Han will lead a very peaceful life there."

Peaceful? It seemed that Liao Shi and Gan Yujing had made quite a few promises today.

The incident with Cheng Jiatong had put the Gan family in an awkward position, so they were now even more enthusiastic about the prospect of Meng Han joining their family.

Both sides seemed very satisfied, and the next step was to discuss the marriage.

Tao Shi took Meng Han back to Chenggu County first. After a couple of days, Gan's father, the eldest brother, eldest sister-in-law, along with Gan Yujing and a matchmaker, headed to Chenggu County's Meng family's escort agency to formally propose the marriage.

Shu Yu hadn't witnessed such a grand procession, but she had heard from Meng Han that it had been lively.

Especially Meng Xiaoshu and Gan's father, one being a martial artist and the other a scholarly type. Meng Xiaoshu had always viewed scholars through a particular lens, otherwise, he wouldn't have imagined that the untalented Meng Qi would become a scholar. As for Gan's father, he had a grand demeanor, and his speech was filled with scholarly elegance. On the surface, he appeared to be a highly learned scholar.

Meng's younger uncle was quite eager to converse with him—no, in his words, to seek his advice. Although he barely understood most of what was said, it didn't hinder his formidable social skills.

Gan's father was pleased with this admiration, especially from someone who had broad experience and frequently traveled. Regardless of his constant pretentiousness, he enjoyed hearing about Meng Xiaoshu's experiences. He also envied Meng Xiaoshu's robust physique and impressive martial skills, which gave him a sense of security.

When Shu Yu heard these details, she couldn't help but twitch her lips. She had thought that these two individuals, with completely opposite personalities, wouldn't get along. She hadn't expected them to be so... harmoniously complementary.

The marriage was officially settled; Gan Rui and Meng Han became engaged.

As for the wedding date, as Shu Yu had suggested, they would have to wait until Meng Han turned seventeen, which was three years from now.

Three years might seem long for the Gan family, but Gan Rui had no objections, so it was decided.

After the engagement was settled, Gan Rui became even more open in his approach to Meng Han. Meng Han had shown interest in traveling with Ah Rui and the others, which Gan Rui had noticed. Knowing her preference for going outdoors, he took her to nearby counties, touring all the places he had visited.

This thoughtful gesture pleased Tao Shi.

However, Tao Shi soon began to worry again. A few days later, she came to Shu Yu once more, expressing her desire to purchase a shop.

"Buy a shop?" Shu Yu was surprised when she heard her request.
