Jennie blinked. Then she blinked again.

She stared in disbelief at Zhao chittip who is already giggling like a teenager.

"So, since he is such a dumbo, I chose to propose instead. Ah. You can't imagine the disbelief in his eyes when he saw me pop up a ring in front of him."

Mother Manoban then stood up and cleared her throat. "I said, two choices: either you marry me today or you marry me tomorrow. Say no and you will never see me again in this lifetime!"

"Guess what happen? Guess?" She asked while slowly getting back into her seat.

"I....uh he said yes?" Jennie guessed. Her Mother in law is truly peculiar ah.

She is very confident and beautiful. Jennie wondered if she could somehow become like this in the future.

"What yes? That dumbo did not answer me! He just kissed me alright? I deserved an answer and he just kissed me! How pathetic!"

"I was so furious! Who would answer someone with a kiss instead of a simple yes or no?"

"Aiyah... the good thing that came out from that kiss is Lisa. Hahaha... That was the night that Lali arrived in this world." Mother Manoban dramatically sighed. While Jennie's cheeks reddened.

Seriously? Why is it that she is the one who felt embarrassed with all these?

"The lesson is when dealing with a piece of a slow bloke like that is you have to be sharp and decisive." Zhao Chittip said while shaking her head. "If I did not propose that night then who knows when will that piece of bloke asked me to marry him?"

"Who knows? I might have stayed a single forever!" She added.

"My point is you need to strike while the iron is hot. If you want something then you should make up your mind and never yield. Get it! Grab it!"She said while clenching her fist into the air. Zhao Chittip sure hoped that Jennie is smart enough to be able to understand the meaning behind her words.

She also hopes that she can start planning a wedding as soon as Lisa start his training abroad. Aiyah... her future daughter in law is so smart ah.

She should already know what to do right.

In fact, Jennie already understood the hidden meaning behind Mother Manoban's story.

And she couldn't help but agree with Mother manoban's action. She really admired this woman ah.

She knows what she wants, and she will definitely do everything to have it.

However, it seems that Mother Manoban's advice is not applicable to this situation.

It wasn't too long ago since they become a couple. Aside from that, they are too young.Lisa already gave her this necklace.

This should be enough. She should just wait for him to propose instead.

She couldn't just ask Lisa to marry her alright?

What if... what if he will also kiss her and... and... you know.

Jennie felt heat spread throughout her chest and into the roots of her hair. She is blushing!

Seeing that Mother Manoban saw this embarrassing reaction from her, Jennie immediately lowered her head.

Her actions made Zhao Chittip laugh inwardly. As expected! Her daughter in law is very smart indeed.

« Chittip, what are you doing? Why does it seem like you are making our future daughter in law uncomfortable?" The awkward atmosphere was interrupted by the doting voice of Marco Manoban. As he walked towards his wife accompanied by Lisa and Grandfather Wang.

"Marco, I was just telling her about our experiences when we met until we got married." She immediately retorted. If her husband would know that she wanted Jennie to propose to their son, then he will surely punish her tonight.

"I told you not to tell anyone about those embarrassing moments." Father manoban immediately reprimanded her wife however her voice is still gentle and amiable.

"Hahaha... marco, you should just let her do this kind of stuff. This only shows that she still adore you and your experiences together." Grandfather Wang said while looking at the embarrassed Jennie.

Mother and Father Manoban seems to be a very good influence on her granddaughter. They should be able to let Jennie feel the fatherly and motherly presence that she lacks.

In fact, Grandfather Wang and Father Manoban already talked about this. Jennie will soon start college and she will also start managing her own company.

Aside from this, she also agreed to go to lisa's publishing company to learn something from Father Manoban.

Because of her crazy schedule, Grandfather wang agreed to let Jennie stay at one of the Manoban's property. This house is just a walk away from the university and the moon publishing company.

This should be enough to at least give her granddaughter the comfort that she needs.

Thinking about comforts, Jennie is still in her teens. She should just be like a normal student who studies and enjoy their college life.

However, his granddaughter chose to go against the norm and be hardworking as possible.

"See? Even Grandfather Wang agrees with me." Zhao Chittip said before she sips her tea. However, she immediately noticed Lisa's sullen state.

"What's wrong?" Mother Manoban asked.

Father Manoban then immediately let out a sigh."Father called. He asked us to leave tonight. We have some emergency in one of our plants abroad."

When Jennie heard Father Manoban she immediately look up and fixed her gaze at Lisa.

He is going to leave soon.

And he is going away for two years.

Two whole years!

Should she... should she just propose like Mother Manoban instead?

Jennie sure feels conflicted.
