Chapter 122
A prenatal betrothal? Infant matrimony?"
Jason looked at Phoebe, who was crossing her long legs. Was this woman his real fiancee?

She looked good and had a good figure.
However, marrying a person whom he had only met twice?
Jason really didn''t intend to do that.
"Dad, it''s the 21st century now! Why do you still want a prenatal betrothal? Besides, Brother Qin
hasn''t graduated from college. Isn''t it too early?" Phoebe said casually, shaking her snow-white calf.
"Shut up!" Marvin scolded. "What do you know? The Wen family was loyal to everyone, including to
government, haven''t we went back our words? What nonsense are you talking about in front of your
Uncle Shen and your aunt? Apologize now!"
"But what I said is true. Brother Qin is two years older than me, but he is still in school. I don''t think
we need to worry about it now. Anyway, we will settle down in Nandu in the future and have plenty
of opportunities to develop rtionships. Why do we need to be in such a hurry, right, Brother Qin?"
Seeing that Phoebe was like pushing the fire pit to him, Jason just opened his mouth, and he
nced at Uncle Dong, who was standing at the door and trying sending signal to him.
"Let''s do everything ording to the elders'' arrangements. I have no objection." Jason grinned and
said.
Phoebe raised her head and looked at Jason. Her beautiful eyes were full of anger and a
murderous look like a tigress. She red at Jason for a while, making him feel weak...
"Well, Jason is more sensible." Marvin nodded with satisfaction, then turned his head to David and
said, "Old Shen, this kind of thing should not be dyed. I think it''s better for us to decide the date
today so that the two children can finish it early. As for me, because of my identity, it''s not suitable to
get them a high- profile wedding. I''d better let them get married on trips and go to some fun ces
abroad. What do you think?"
Before David could say anything, Mary had already nodded excitedly. "Good, we are getting old. If
the two children get married earlier, they can give us a big fat boy sooner. Then I and Mr. Shen can
enjoy a good life and don''t have to worry about the younger generation."
"Well, you''re right, Jason. Which country do you want to go on a honeymoon? I''ll inform the
conste in advance, so that you won''t encounter a lot of trouble if you go there and don''t know
each other well." Marvin asked with a smile.
"It doesn''t matter. Listen to Phoebe. I don''t have any objections," Jason said with a smile.
"Look! Look!"
Seeing that his daughter had put on her headphones, Marvin was so angry that he mmed the
table.
"Phoebe, what''s your attitude? Are you going to humiliate me in front of Uncle Shen and Aunt
Chan? I think you''ve been spoiled all the time. Look at your manner! You don''t know how to respect
the older at all!"
Phoebe also took off a headset, stood up, and said, "It''s your business to repay your kindness, but I
don''t want to get married, and I don''t want to get married to a little boy. If you force me to get
married, then I''ll go back to Australia to go back to school. You can try."
After that, she strode away.
A little boy?
Uh... Jason touched his beard that had been scratched in the morning and felt that the
characteristics of a man were still very obvious.
"Old Song, go with her!" David said in a hurry.
"Yes, Master." Uncle Dong promised. He looked at Jason worriedly, then turned around and walked
out with Phoebe.
"I''ve spoilt her. Don''t mind her, Old Shen," Marvin said apologetically.
"It doesn''t matter. It''s normal for a girl to have a little temper. She has just returned to China and
suddenly said that she would get married. She can''t ept it emotionally. It''s also human nature."
Davidughed.
Marvin nodded and sighed, "In fact, Phoebe has always known about this. Today, I took her here to
meet you. I thought she was mentally prepared, but I didn''t expect her reaction to be so big. A
grown girl can''t be kept at home. I can''t guess what she is thinking."
"Uncle Wen, I think that Sister Phoebe''s thoughts may be a little different from what you think now,"
Jason said.
"Oh? You are all young people, so you should be able to understand each other''s thoughts." Marvin
smiled and encouraged Jason to continue with his eyes.
"Well... this, including my current thoughts, may not be the same as yours." Jason braced himself
and said.
"Hmm?" The smile on Marvin''s face gradually disappeared.
"Sister Phoebe and I can''t get married," Jason said with difficulty, as if he had used up all his
strength.
The word "imposing" was exined in the dictionary: the strength and power that people and things
showed.
In the past, Jason was very vague about that. He didn''t have specific concept.
However, when Marvin suddenly changed his appearance, he suddently realized that,
''The strength and power areplementary.''
Marvin Wen, who had been in a high position for a long time, and was now in charge of the power of
life and death of the Nandu Province, was a little angry.
"Jason, what did you say?" Mary awkwardly pulled David''s arm.
David also looked at Jason in confusion.
Although Jason was now the only son of the Shen family and was adored by countless people,
David would not be wrong to see people. Especially when he came back from the detention house
that day, he eased the grievances between his family and his third younger brother for more than a
decade with a few words. This was a very sensible child. He should not say such unreasonable
words on such an asion.
"It''s okay. Let the child finish. It''s their business after all. As parents, we can''t push it too much."
Although Marvin was eager to repay his kindness, when he saw that Jason and his daughter
seemed to have expressed their opinion on this matter, he looked at Jason and asked patiently.
"Do you think that Phoebe is not beautiful enough, and she doesn''t deserve you?" Marvin asked.
"No."
Jason shook his head.
He felt that his neck was very stiff, and it was very difficult for him to shake his head like this.
"Sister Phoebe is very beautiful, at least more beautiful than most of the girls I''ve ever seen. It''s a
little unfair for her to be with me." Jason said truthfully.
"That''s because you have someone you like?" Marvin''s brows furrowed even deeper.
"No..."
Although Jason had Emily in his heart, if he pushed her out on such an asion, it was no different
from pushing Emily into a fire pit, which was still very dangerous.
"Then, please give me a reason." Marvin did not ask any more questions, and let Jason take the
initiative to confess.
"Uncle Wen, you should know that it''s my second meeting with Sister Phoebe today. Simply put, we
don''t have any emotional foundation, and we''re not even friends. If you and my parents let us get
married and have children in a hurry, it will be a great impact on our view of love, marriage, or life."
"I''m not even ready for it, not to mention Sister Phoebe. I haven''t graduated from college yet, and
I''m full of infinite fantasies and expectations for the future. I once thought that I could marry a girl
like Sister Phoebe at the appropriate age, who is so good both in knowledge and in terms of
conditions."
"But all of this should be based on our willingness. It''s done in a matter of course, not the reason
why Sister Phoebe sacrificed her life for repay your kindness."
"People will meet many people in their life, but happiness will be fleeting. Based on Sister Phoebe''s
condition, I believe that she has notcked arge number of suitors since juvenile, but she is still
single until now. This is enough to prove that she has a firm judging standard towards and choice
for her rtionship and marriage."
"But now you are going to use a engagement topletely end her fantasy of love and future for
more than a decade. She can''t ept it, and I can''t do it either."
"So, let''s just let it go? We have to find a solution."
The expression on Marvin''s face finally eased.
He thought that Jason had said something selfish, self-centered but dignified. It turned out that he
was trying to make up for his daughter''s sake.
"It''s just a matter of time," Jason replied with a firm tone.
"Haha, what an answer. It''s just a matter of time. Okay, Jason Qin, it seems that your Shen family is
not like what your father always worried about before. They are afraid that there will be no
sessor to such a big industry. With your words, you are much more powerful than your father
before."
"However, even though you both need time, but you should know each other better, what are you
going to do? If you really think that my girl is okay, I can help you create an opportunity. I have been
working for the government for a lifetime, and I have never done anything that breaks my promise to
others."
"And as you can see, I am not old yet. Nandu Province is just a springboard for me. If I return to the
capital city one day, I will be promoted. I am now a minister. If you be my son-inw, your
father will not have to worry about business anymore."
Marvin looked at Jason with a smile, and his tone was full of temptation.
