Chapter 211 Preparations Before Marriage Proposal (Please Subscribe!!!)

Zhang Hao rushed to Portland in a hurry, and told Christina that he had a job, but he didn't even mention the destination; this matter must be kept from Christina, otherwise there would be no surprise.

This time I came to Portland to find Christina's parents.

Zhang Hao knows some customs in the United States. If he wants to propose marriage, of course he needs to get the consent of the woman's parents. This is a kind of politeness, and Zhang Hao certainly doesn't want to be rude.

As for keeping things secret, he believed that Christina's parents could do the same, and they definitely wanted Christina to get a romantic and pleasant marriage proposal.

I have been familiar with Christina's family for a long time, but this time I am still a little nervous; I took a deep breath and knocked on the door.

Mark was at work, Adrian was at school, and Kate was the only one at home; she was a little surprised, she didn't expect Zhang Hao to come.

"My child, how did you get here, why didn't you tell me in advance?"

Zhang Hao said with a smile, "I need to keep it secret, so I came here secretly."

Kate felt a little puzzled and didn't know what Zhang Hao wanted to keep secret, but she still planned to listen to Zhang Hao's explanation.

Zhang Hao is very serious, and now is the time to be serious, "Kate Johnson, I hope you can promise to marry your daughter to me. I swear, I will love her, protect her, and make her happy and happy. I will be loyal to Love with Christina, and I will be loyal to our family."

Kate was taken aback, but immediately smiled, hugged Zhang Hao with a smile, and said happily, "Of course, I know. Son, do you know. I always think you are a good boy, and I believe you will be a good boy." Great husband and I am sure my daughter will be happy and happy."

The mother-in-law agreed, and Zhang Hao was of course very happy, "But it needs to be kept secret now, and I want to surprise her."

Kate fully agreed that she would indeed keep this matter a secret, because revealing the news now would definitely cancel out some of the surprises.It must be kept from Christina, otherwise there will be no surprise and romance.

"What's your plan?" Knowing that Zhang Hao proposed marriage, Kate not only agreed to help keep it secret, but also made suggestions, "If there is anything that needs my help, tell me, I will definitely cooperate. Believe me, it's not just me who will Help, everyone will help and we all want Tina to be happy and happy."

Zhang Hao smiled and drank his coffee, then said, "I got some news from her yesterday, I know the ring she likes, and I will order a ruby ​​ring, which is what she likes, but I'm sorry, It won't be too big."

Kate continued to ask, and she had to ask a little bit more clearly, "It's great, but didn't she notice it at all? Also, what's your budget? Ruby rings are not cheap."

"She didn't notice at all. When she was reading a magazine yesterday, I pretended to be stupid and asked some stupid questions, and then I took the opportunity to ask some, so I can guarantee that she didn't know at all." Zhang Hao was very confident, quite sure, In fact, Christina did not notice anything, "My budget is 30, and I want to buy a ruby ​​with a higher purity."

Kate looked at Zhang Hao speechlessly, a little happy and a little complaining, "I'm sure she really doesn't know what you think, she told me that you don't understand that at all. My child, we are a family now , you don’t need to pretend. You’re not asking stupid questions on purpose, but you really don’t understand them.”

Embarrassed, Zhang Hao was quite speechless, obviously pretending to be stupid, but why did Zhang Hao really look stupid in the eyes of others.

"$30, that's a lot. You should know that many people's engagement rings these days are only a few thousand dollars, or even a few hundred dollars. My child, I know you have a lot of money to spend now, I believe mine My daughter doesn't care how much an engagement ring is worth, that's not what Mark and I taught her."

Of course Zhang Hao knew about Christina's undefeated gold, but undefeated gold didn't mean she could be 'sloppy'.But I have to admit that sometimes it is not only enough to have feelings, but also some material foundation is needed.

"Of course, I know she is not that kind of person. You can rest assured that I do need some funds to develop my career now, and I do need to make more money now. But I can guarantee that I can come up with these budgets."

The two were chatting and waiting for Mark; Mark would not go home at noon, but after receiving a call from Kate, he came back in a hurry.

As soon as he entered the room and saw Zhang Hao sitting on the sofa, Mark complained, "Boy, are you still not satisfied and want to take my sweetheart away so soon? Please, I haven't done the arm-in-arm yet." The way she walks on the carpet, Frank has already hurt me once a few years ago."

Zhang Hao knew that Mark was joking, because although Mark was complaining, and what he said was half-truth, but with a smile on his face, it could be seen that Mark was actually very happy.Although reluctant, Mark hopes to see his daughter happy.

"Sir, believe me, I don't want to hurt you, we are already a family. But I have to do this, because Tina will be happier. For her, I don't mind if you get hurt, even if you are my family. "

Mark rolled his eyes, gave Zhang Hao a bear hug, and then gave Zhang Hao a punch, "Remember what you said, if someone wants to hurt Tina, you have to be hard Teach that bastard a lesson! If that's the case, I'd walk her down the carpet with her before I agree to let her take your arm."

Zhang Hao nodded very positively, very seriously, "I can do it, I can guarantee it. I will protect my wife and my family like a man. I will become a real man from a boy, I believe She will be happy."

Mark just looked at Zhang Hao like this, without a smile, just staring at Zhang Hao's eyes like this; Zhang Hao didn't dodge the slightest, just staring at Mark blankly, he can't back down at all now, and he won't back down at all .

Seeing Zhang Hao and Mark's 'confrontation', Kate was watching the excitement; some things should be left to the men to solve, and now is the time for the men to talk.

"Hey, gentlemen, I think you've reached a consensus by now. Hao is a wonderful boy, and he will love Tina and make her happy. And Mark, I believe you have agreed to marry Tina to Hao."

Both Zhang Hao and Mark laughed and had to admit that Kate was right.

"Yeah, I could tell he couldn't wait to get me to say yes. I gave in, and if I didn't say yes, he'd beat me for sure, he's a kung fu kid. Believe me, I'm not exaggerating, he couldn't wait He is going to take my sweetheart away, this is a bastard, I can tell by the look in his eyes just now."

Mark, who is in a good mood, is joking and complaining about Zhang Hao; he is a great person, has received higher education, has a good job, loves his family, and is cheerful... As for complaining about Zhang Hao, it can only be said that he looks at Zhang Hao 'Not pleasing to the eye', this is also one of the ways he and Zhang Hao get along.

Zhang Hao smiled and didn't say anything. He is really proud now; with the permission of Christina's parents, Zhang Hao is naturally happier.

Kate is still very active in helping Zhang Hao make suggestions, because she hopes that Christina will have a romantic marriage proposal, "You can call Frank and Jaina, Mark and I are people from the last century, we are about to It has become an antique, and we don’t understand young people’s thinking. You can ask Frank, he has experience. I think Jaina’s opinion is more important. Although Frank’s marriage proposal was good, she later said that Frank’s marriage proposal had many shortcomings. "

Mark laughed, smugly, "Frank is a douchebag, I can guarantee that! He always thinks his proposal is great, but I got a different answer from Gianna, and I trust my daughter. You You can learn a lot from that idiot, and it will show you what kind of things make you look like an idiot."

A moment of silence for Frank, this brother-in-law seems to have been complained about; but Zhang Hao deliberately treated himself in the same way in the future, but considering Frank’s lessons learned, Zhang Hao felt that he had to work harder, or he would become what Mark thought 'Idiot', you have to work a little bit harder, try to keep a little distance from the idiot as much as possible.

But Zhang Hao was very disappointed. When his brother-in-law Adrian proposed, Mark said almost the same thing; even though Zhang Hao's proposal surprised Christina, he still became a representative of "stupid" when he came to Mark.

This is something to say later, but Zhang Hao didn't pay much attention to it; the father-in-law likes to complain, so let him complain, who let him take away Mark's precious daughter.

Mark and Kate promised to help Zhang Hao keep the secret, and they also said they would keep in touch at any time and would provide assistance within their ability.

Went to Tiffany Jewelry with the intention of customizing an engagement ring.But it was not enough for Zhang Hao. Zhang Hao went to ask his good friend Barney and called his brother-in-law Frank. They all have experience in proposing marriage. The opinions they gave are naturally worthy of Zhang Hao’s reference, and they are still very valuable. .

The general plan is already in Zhang Hao's mind, he has a general framework, and he knows that he should be able to do quite well.But he is still not satisfied, because he wants to be as perfect as possible, so he must think more.

Fortunately, he still has enough time now, because his custom-made engagement ring still needs some time to get ready, which naturally gave Zhang Hao more time for preparation, and he can start to perfect these plans in a leisurely manner.

And Christina, she really didn't know anything; maybe she didn't need to know, because what she got was going to be a surprise proposal.
