He Ziluo and Qin Haize's relationship was now out in the open, and the adults had more or less given their tacit approval.
Although every time Qin Haize came to see He Ziluo, He Lang never looked too pleased.
But Qin Haize understood. He had stolen the man's precious daughter, so it was only natural for her father not to be fond of him.
At the end of the year, Mr. Qin made a special trip to their home to formally propose marriage on his grandson's behalf.
The young couple was deeply in love, and although He Lang was a bit disheartened, he couldn't actually break them up.
So, he agreed. Besides, his wife had been constantly persuading him.
'Qin Haize really is a good man,' he thought. 'We've known him for years, and there's no questioning his character. Plus, his looks are certainly a match for my daughter.'
The wedding date was set for the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month.
