Chapter 331 Three Books and Six Rites
The plane flew over layers of clouds and gradually landed at the airport in Jeju Island.

The two of them took a nap on the plane and now they are full of energy.

Came to pick them up.

It was Mr. Li.

Maybe it’s because I’m old, or maybe it’s because I now have a man I can rely on.

After meeting, Lee Ji-eun did not dive into her father's arms like a young swallow flying into the forest as she did before.

This made Father Li very upset.

"Uncle, thank you for your hard work. Let me drive."

After Jin Qixuan put his suitcase into the trunk, he said to him with a smile.

"Well, that's fine too."

Father Li originally wanted to chat with his precious daughter in the back seat of the car.

As a result, the girl naturally sat in the passenger seat.

Jin Qixuan also diligently fastened her seat belt and gave her a kiss.

Then, when Jin Qixuan was adjusting the seat and rearview mirror in the driver's seat, he saw the complicated expression on Li's father's face.

He understood instantly and turned to Li Zhien and said:

"Wife, go to the back seat and stay with your uncle."

"Hmm~"

Lee Ji-eun was so happy when Kim Ki-hyun called her "wife" that she even rewarded him before getting off the car.

Seeing this, Father Li's expression became more complicated.

Finally, after hesitating for a while, he asked:
"Are the names you address each other so casually?"

"No, Dad, we're getting engaged!"

Li Zhien, who was sitting next to him, explained, then shook Li's father's hand twice and said happily:

"Dad, please bless us."

"got engaged?!"

Father Li was stunned for a moment, then he said, "Such a big thing, you guys decided it privately?!"

"No, we came back to discuss this matter with everyone!"

Hearing this, Father Li felt unwell.

Although in his heart, he had already regarded Jin Qixuan as his future son-in-law.

But heard the news that they were about to get engaged.

There is still an indescribable feeling in my heart.

The comfort and joy of having my own daughter find happiness.

There is also an indescribable sense of loss and sadness.

Jin Qixuan noticed that there was no movement behind him, glanced at the rearview mirror, and said:

"Uncle, I am so lucky to marry Zhien. I have nothing else to ask for. This life is enough for me."

After listening to Jin Qixuan's sincere words, Father Li's complicated emotions calmed down a little.

He also knew how outstanding Jin Qixuan was.

He has been ranked first on the Peninsula Forbes Celebrity List as an actor for two consecutive years.

Whether it is the Gallup survey, Kobaco consumer survey, Naver's annual search list, etc.

It has always been at the top of the list.

In addition, he has won many awards including the Most Influential Person in the Entertainment Industry, the Most Popular Actor, the Grand Bell Award, and the Blue Dragon Best Actor Award.

This year, he even won two major awards, the "Presidential Commendation" and the "Minister of Culture, Sports and Tourism Commendation" of the Popular Culture and Arts Awards.

Just within the peninsula.

Jin Qixuan is already a household name and a top star.

Not to mention the honors and recognition he has received internationally.

Such an outstanding young man.

Father Li was actually very proud to be able to marry his daughter.

In fact, this is what he brags about when drinking and chatting with old friends.

In fact, in Li's father's opinion, it's good that the two of them can get engaged.

What if we date for six or seven years and then break up?

Then how will my daughter get married in the future?
Although I am happy, when this day really comes.

Only then did Father Li realize that his heart was filled with reluctance.

Seeing that her father was just looking at the scenery outside the window without saying anything, Li Zhien asked cautiously:
"Dad, aren't you happy?"

"Dad is not unhappy, he just feels a little emotional."

Father Li retracted his thoughts, turned to look at Li Zhien with a smile, and asked:

"Just, have you really decided?"

"Well, the wedding date hasn't been decided yet, but as for the engagement, we both feel that the time is right."

"Then... Qixuan, do your family know about this? What do your family members think?"

Father Li looked at Jin Qixuan in the rearview mirror and asked.

"My family likes Jieun so much that they urged us to get married on New Year's Eve yesterday. Later, we went home to discuss it at night and felt that getting engaged first was a good choice, so we decided to come back and discuss it with you this morning."

Jin Qixuan drove the vehicle steadily while answering Li's father's questions.

"Oh, you guys live together?"

"..."

Hearing this, Li Zhien blushed, patted his father and said:
"Dad! What are you talking about!"

Jin Qixuan remained calm and said seriously:

"We don't live together, uncle, don't get me wrong. I bought the house above hers."

Father Li smiled meaningfully and said:

"Haha, I'm not a stubborn person, so I can understand. Since your family agrees, I naturally have no objection. Then, why don't we both set a time to meet?"

"Okay, uncle, I'll discuss the time with my family when I get back and come visit you."

Father Li nodded, and suddenly thought of something, and asked:

"By the way, as artists, do you have an official announcement process?"

“Yes, Jieun said she wanted to make an official announcement at her concert.”

"Oh, that's good."

In fact, what Li's father wanted was to announce their relationship officially after they reached the level of engagement.

otherwise.

Their relationship was suddenly exposed to the public, and they certainly did not receive all blessings.

There will definitely be sour lemons and nitpicking, as well as lack of support.

Don’t be fooled by the fact that many people are supporting them as a couple online and are arguing over whether they will be together.

However, once their relationship was exposed.

It will inevitably face scrutiny and discussion from all sides.

The topic of "who is not worthy of whom" is bound to happen.

The one who gets hurt by then will definitely be my own daughter.

After a while, the three of them returned to Li Zhien's grandmother's house.

"Grandma~"

As soon as she entered the house, Lee Ji-eun rushed towards her grandmother.

The old man smiled so hard that he couldn't stop.

At the door, Li's mother came to greet Jin Qixuan with a smile.

"Qixuan is here~"

"Happy New Year, Auntie."

Jin Qixuan smiled and handed her the gift he brought for her - a SK-11 cosmetics gift box.

"Hey, kid, you're here just for show. Why bring a gift? You're really... polite."

Although Li's mother said polite words, the smile on her face was extremely bright.

Obviously, she was very satisfied with Jin Qixuan's gift.

"Jongxun, I heard from your sister that you are in a relationship. Here, take your girlfriend for a ride when you have time."

As he spoke, Jin Qixuan handed him the car key of the new 18 Mercedes-Benz GLS450.

"The car is in the underground parking lot of your sister's house."

Li Zhongxun's brows instantly lit up with joy.

But he didn't accept it immediately, instead he looked at his sister.

Seeing this, Li Zhien nodded and said, "Take it."

"Thank you, Brother Qixuan!"

Li Zhongxun was about to take the car keys with a smile on his face.

However, Jin Qixuan suddenly retracted his words and said:

"I just realized that the maintenance and fuel costs of this car are also a big burden for you who just entered the workplace. I think we should forget about it."

Lee Jong-hoon: ???

Li Zhien burst into laughter and said, "Call me brother-in-law."

"Ah!" Li Zhongxun finally came to his senses and quickly changed his words, saying:

"Thank you, brother-in-law!"

Jin Qixuan then handed the car keys to him again and said:

"Well, I'll put a gas card in the car for you later, so you can drive without worry."

“Brother-in-law, you are so kind!”

Li Zhongxun was overjoyed and took the car keys, his joy was beyond words.

After sending his brother-in-law away, Jin Qixuan sat on the other side of Li Zhien's grandmother and said with a smile:

"Grandma, this is a gift for you. I hope you like it."

As he spoke, Jin Qixuan handed over an exquisite gift box.

Inside was a calligraphy piece that read "Fu Shou Shuang Quan" (meaning "blessings and longevity"), which Kim Kye-hyeon had asked Park Soo-hoon to write for him through his connections.

Grandma happily took the gift box, opened it and smiled from ear to ear:

"This is beautifully written. I need to find a good place to hang it."

After making the entire Li family happy, Jin Qixuan gave Li Zhien a look.

Indicated that she could speak.

Li Zhien received the hint, cleared her throat and said:
"Grandma, Mom, I have something I want to discuss with you."

Hearing this, everyone stared at her, waiting for what to come next.

"Qixuan and I...are planning to get engaged."

As soon as these words were spoken, the room suddenly became quiet.

Then there was a cry of joy.

"Wow! Sister, I thought you would never get married in your life..."

Li Zhien turned her head and stared at him coldly.

This made Li Zhongxun swallow the second half of his sentence and smile awkwardly.

"Engaged? Really? This is a good thing!"

The old man smiled, gently put their hands together, and said happily:
"I am sincerely happy for you that you have come this far. Even if tomorrow is the end of my life, I will leave with a smile on my face."

Li Zhien held her grandmother's hand tightly and said:

"Grandma, don't say that. You will definitely be healthy and live a long life!"

"Okay, okay, grandma wants to see you get married and have great-grandchildren."

The old man smiled and patted the back of Li Zhien's hand, turned to look at Jin Qixuan, and said:
"Qixuan, we will leave Zhien to you. Please bear with us in the future."

"Please rest assured."

Jin Qixuan replied solemnly.

"Jin's son-in-law, then can you please arrange a meeting with your family to finalize this matter?"

On the side, Li's mother said with a look of relief.

Jin Qixuan pondered for a moment and said:
"I intend to prepare it with the highest traditional etiquette, so it will take some time to prepare, but don't worry, it won't take long."

"The highest specification?"

"Yes, three letters, six gifts, four engagements and five golds."

Mr. Li’s family was shocked after hearing this.

Three books, six ceremonies, four betrothals and five golds - these are the most traditional wedding etiquette.

In modern society, few people are so particular.

"As for the betrothal gift, it doesn't have to be too much, it's just a symbolic gift."

Mother Li came to her senses and said quickly.

Hearing this, Jin Qixuan nodded.

In this regard, he didn't know how much to give.

If he can come up with 8.8 million won, he can also come up with 88 billion won.

In fact, the amount doesn’t matter.

The main purpose is to let the Li family know that the Jin family attaches great importance to this daughter-in-law who has not yet married into the family.

"For the engagement party, we can just have a simple meal with the families on both sides and your two closest friends. After all, you haven't made it public yet, so let's keep a low profile."

Mr. Li is very thoughtful.

It's normal to have some fun at a wedding.

If you're getting engaged, there's no need to make such a big scene.

Otherwise, it would be embarrassing to accept gifts twice.

Jin Qixuan nodded and continued:

"Okay, uncle, let's hold the engagement party here."

The three books, six ceremonies, four betrothals, five pieces of gold, and the engagement banquet are held at the woman's home.

This is definitely the highest respect.

After hearing this, Mr. Li felt even more satisfied.

We talked about some more details.

Jin Qixuan's performance made his mother-in-law and father-in-law extremely satisfied.

The engagement was officially confirmed.

Then, Mother Li looked at the time and said:

"Jin's son-in-law, it's still early. Let Jieun take you outside for a walk. We'll call you back after we prepare dinner."

"Okay, let's go out then."

During the Chinese New Year on the peninsula, few people go out.

Especially Jeju Island which has a smaller population.

When two people go out for a walk, they basically won't run into anyone.

On the road.

Lee Ji-eun hugged Kim Ki-hyeon's arm and hummed the song she made in the early morning, obviously very happy.

"It feels good to be able to go out openly like this."

"Well, bear with it for a while. After we make it official, we can enjoy our time together in public."

Li Zhien felt very happy when she thought about it, and said:
"Does that mean we can kiss anytime, anywhere?"

"Of course, didn't we do that on the set, showing off our affection without caring about others?"

"Hahaha~"

Recalling the time when she was filming "When a Man Falls in Love", Lee Ji-eun's eyes curved with laughter.

"Hey, should we go to the president's house?"

"President?"

Li Zhien was startled, then she remembered and said:
"President Lee Sang-soon?"

"Yeah, I haven't seen you for over a year."

"Okay, but I heard that the house where they had the B&B was sold."

"Sold?"

Jin Qixuan really didn't know about this.

"Yes, it is said that after the show was broadcast, many people went there to check in, and even entered the yard without permission, which caused great trouble to their lives. Later, they sold it."

"How much did you sell?"

"About a billion."

Hearing this, Jin Qixuan nodded and said:
"Oh, since it's sold, let's visit again next time we have a chance. After all, it might not be convenient to do so at the last minute."

"Alright."

The two continued to stroll along the street.

Enjoying this rare tranquility and sweetness.

After being accustomed to the fashionable and prosperous city, it’s fun to return to this pristine tourist destination.

Everything seemed so beautiful.

"By the way, who are you going to invite to our engagement party?"

Li Zhien didn't even think about it and blurted out:

"Inna, Jiyeon, Sulli, and Suzy probably don't have time."

"Ha, if Suzy comes, I'll call Dong-wook over."

"Oh, you're so mean."

Li Zhien smiled and punched him, and asked:

"Who are you going to call?"

Jin Qixuan thought for a moment and said:

"Bo Gum, Dong Hwi, and Kwang Soo."

In fact, Jin Qixuan originally wanted to invite people like Lee Chang-dong, Bong Joon-ho, Song Kang-ho and Sol Kyung-gu.

On second thought, calling this lineup here is a sign of respect.

But, the pressure on Liu Inna and others is too great.

I guess I can’t even eat well.

It's really unsettling.
