She was fired after she refused to be the CEO's dog licker.

Chapter 780

I didn't expect my godmother to ask about this all of a sudden. I was shocked and quickly came to my senses, wanting to tell my true thoughts: "No, I actually want to..."

I originally wanted to tell Xiao Ye that I had not thought it through and that I needed to think more about our engagement.

But then he heard the news that Sister Min and Mr. Yuan were quarreling, so he hurriedly followed him to try to stop the fight, but he forgot about the important business when he got so busy.

But before I could finish my words, Xiao Ye interrupted me: "Yes, Aunt Zhang, Xuxu and I are developing very fast in our relationship. We both want to settle down as soon as possible to avoid any more complications. So we unanimously decided to move the engagement date forward. I don't want to wait another three months."

"Yes, I think so too. The date three months later is not bad, but I get anxious when I think about having to wait three months before becoming Xuxu's future mother-in-law! Now the children have taken the initiative to bring the date forward, so I think we should do as they wish." Sister Min came out at some point, holding a plate of fried tomato and eggs in her hand, "Come on, Xuxu, try your uncle Yuan's first move."

Why did Sister Min come out too?

Ono has already told her that I want to get engaged early?

I started to panic, thinking that there was no way this matter could be resolved today.

Even if I could apologize and make amends to resolve the issue, I don't know how to start the conversation.

"Xuxu, try it quickly. Your Uncle Yuan's tomato and egg dish is really good." At the kitchen door, Old Master Yuan showed a smile and urged me, waving the spatula in his hand, "The next big knife tofu will be ready soon, you should try it too. If you think it's delicious, I'll show you my cooking at your engagement party with Xiaoye!"

"You only have those three tricks, and you want to show them off at the engagement party? You will look ugly, right?" Sister Min retorted.

The elder was not angry either, he smiled and said: "Although I only know three things, these three are my specialties, and Xuxu loves them, I am willing to make a fool of myself."

They all sang in unison, smiling and looking at me warmly, and I swallowed back all the words I wanted to say.

Faced with such amiable elders, how could I bear to make them disappointed and unhappy?

I could only pick up my chopsticks and obediently pick up a piece of egg. I ate it under their expectant gazes, then smiled with surprise and gave Mr. Yuan a thumbs up: "Uncle Yuan's cooking skills are really amazing. This is the best fried tomato and eggs I have ever eaten in my life."

Mr. Yuan smiled proudly. Sister Min said that I was trying to make Mr. Yuan happy on purpose, but her face was also full of smiles.

Ono picked up another piece of egg and fed it to me, asking me to eat one more bite.

The atmosphere was joyful and lively. I laughed along with everyone, but I felt increasingly embarrassed: Is it really true that I have no way of expressing my true thoughts today?

"Xuxu." At this moment, my godmother spoke. She looked at me tenderly and asked, "Are you worried about something? Don't hide it in your heart. Speak out."

"I..." I was still hesitating.

My godmother quickly squeezed my hand and asked me again, "Don't you want to get engaged so soon?"

My godmother is really sensitive. She always knows exactly what I’m thinking and can guess it right away.

I was silent for a moment and nodded.

The originally lively atmosphere suddenly became quiet. Sister Min frowned, but she was still smiling: "Sister Yu, don't be like this. I know you can't bear to let Xuxu go, but engagement is not marriage. Besides, even if Xuxu marries into the Yuan family, we are so close. You can come to our house to see her anytime you miss her."

"Yes, Xiaoyu, you can't teach your child like this. You can't force your child to change his mind." The old man had already come out with the prepared twice-cooked pork and joined in the joke.

"She is my own daughter, I definitely want her to be happy. Besides, Xiaoye is a child who grew up under my care, I have no reason to instigate them to not be together well. But whether it is engagement or marriage, they are major events in life and must be taken seriously. I also hope Xuxu can think it through." The godmother was not polite at all.

Then he lowered his head and looked at me gently: "Xuxu, regarding your engagement with Xiaoye, just say whatever you think in your heart, it's okay."

"Xuxu just wanted to get engaged earlier." The elder put the dishes on the table and looked at Xiaoye with a serious expression, "Xiaoye, is that right? What you said on the phone was that Xuxu wanted to get engaged earlier and asked us to discuss and set a new date, right?"

"Yes, Xiaoye, go ahead." Sister Min also stared at Xiaoye.

Xiao Ye hadn't spoken a word from the beginning until now. Until this moment, everyone's eyes were on his face. I felt a little uncomfortable and wanted to explain: "Yes, it's me..."

It was me who impulsively asked for an early engagement.

But before I could finish my sentence, Xiao Ye interrupted me and said, "No, I'm anxious to get engaged, so I called you for help. I want you to help me persuade my baby. Otherwise, my baby is so beautiful and so outstanding, and there are so many people thinking about her. I'm really afraid that the longer the night, the more trouble she will cause."

"What?" Both Elder Yuan and Sister Min frowned and said in unison.

"Baby, I'm sorry. It's my fault. I shouldn't have pushed you." Yuan Tianye turned to look at me, his beautiful peach blossom eyes full of tenderness. "How about we just stick to the original date?"

Facing Ono's gentle eyes, I was stunned and speechless for a long time.

Ono lied. It was clearly me who proposed to get engaged right away, but I regretted it later. However, before I had the chance to tell him about my regret, he took all the responsibility on himself.

He guessed what I was thinking and didn't want to embarrass me, and he didn't want Mr. Yuan and Sister Min to blame me.

Ono, really the best Ono in the world.

I looked at him, my nose felt sore and my throat felt dry: Xiao Ye is such a good person, he deserves my cherishment, and I must not be selfish to him.

Therefore, I have to be more cautious about the engagement, as this is the real way to be responsible for him.

"You naughty kid, how did you become like this?" Sister Min was very rude and slapped Xiaoye on the head.

"You stinky boy, you actually dared to have such thoughts? It seems that the last time I asked you to kneel in the ancestral hall, you didn't kneel for long enough!" The elder scolded even more fiercely, "Whether you are dealing with friends or family, the most important thing is sincerity. The most taboo thing in relationships is lying and deceiving people. You actually treated Xuxu in this way, you deserve Xuxu to despise you!"

"Yes, I know I was wrong, baby. I dare not beg for your forgiveness. If you decide not to get engaged to me because of this, I will accept it." Ono lowered his head, looking very guilty.

My heart felt like it was hit by something, it felt incredibly soft and aching slightly.
