When Han Changhong, Han Sheng Ming and Han Luo sat down, Sophia served them a meal. While eating, Han Changhong raised the topic he wanted to speak after coming back to London. He said, ”Luo'er, you are growing up and you understand lots of things about our tradition. Don't you know Yujin from the Tang Family? How about you consider him as your future husband?”
Han Luo stopped eating and blankly stared at her uncle. 'Future husband?' The topic was so abrupt that her mind wasn't able to process the phrase 'future husband'.
Han Sheng Ming protested, ”Daddy, little Luo Luo hasn't grown up yet. Why are you talking about her marriage so soon?”
”Marriage?” Han Luo confusedly looked at her uncle and then her cousin. Wasn't she only fourteen? Why would her uncle want her to get married? She couldn't understand what he was thinking.
Han Changhong cleared his throat and said, ”It's not that I'm telling her to get married. Since she knows Yujin from the Tang Family, I thought it would be great if they could get together. We can only do the engagement right now. We will arrange the marriage ceremony when they become financially independent.”
Han Sheng Ming was fretting about it, ”I know that Xiao Yujin is a good guy and he likes little Luo Luo but he likes him as a sister! It sounds bad, really bad when I think one of my friends is getting married to my sister!”
Han Changhong asked his son, ”Will you get any good partner for Luo'er than? And, why are you pretesting? Let Luo'er decide what she wants to do. After all, the person who is going to marry is Luo'er, not you.” After chiding his son, he gazed at his niece. He asked, ”Luo'er, what do you think?”
”Me?” Han Luo blinked. Her head wasn't working yet. She didn't know what to answer. She responded, ”Umm uncle, I'm not sure what to say. Can you give me some time to think?”
Han Changhong knew that she was too young to think about her future. He nodded in agreement, ”I don't have a problem. Take as much time as you need. However, let me tell you in advance. I wasn't the one who came up with the proposal, nor did I ever want to offer you a marriage proposal.”
He continued, ”It was all Elder Tang's idea. Yesterday, he abruptly came to the company and asked for your hand in marriage. I was too shocked to hear that he wanted you as his granddaughter-in-law. I couldn't outright refuse him. You know how difficult of a person he is. I told him that I would let you decide since you are the one who is going to marry.”
He added, ”He didn't like the idea though. He said that children these days don't understand what's good for them. Anyhow, I will leave it to you. If you want to postpone the idea of marriage until you grow up, you have to be brave and say that to his face.”
