THE ENGAGEMENT (2)

"Look at the children! They really look good with each other." Father Xue pointed merrily at the couple in the gazebo.

The parents have been chatting for a while. They were at the veranda while the two betrothed were left alone in the gazebo not far from them, to get to know each other.

The Shi Family arrived around six in evening at the Xue Family's abode. It was just a small gathering of two families.

At the gazebo, there was mostly silence. The fine young gentleman was tall, strong and had a smiling face, although upon close inspection, his smile was of the taunting sort. At first glance, Xue Jinxu could feel that nothing good would come out of this man.

"My fiancé is definitely beautiful." He started the conversation with her, still wearing the taunting smile.

Xue Jinxu was trying to ignore him.

"How's business so far? Have you enjoyed my gift?" He said, not looking at her. He was elated, however Xue Jinxu could not understand his statement.
