Chapter 491 Dongzhe’s Solution

"Hey, Xiaoting, have you seen your brother Hongbin's girlfriend? I see your Aunt Zhu grins from ear to ear when she talks about her. What kind of girl is she?" Song Ying's Eight Seal Souls transferred from Dongzhe to Hongbin.

This time Xiaoting became natural:

"Yes, I have met her. She's very nice! She's a different type from Sister Xingyan. Sister Xingyan is bright and intelligent, while Sister Shuyun is the gentle and kind type."

"Now that you've said that, I feel more confident. That's great. Lin Dongzhe talked for a long time but never got to the point. I know it's great, great! Oh, by the way, did your mom buy you candied fruit and sugar? If not, I'll have Dongzhe bring it to you. Don't pay attention to your mom. You can't eat it when you're eight, and you can't eat it when you're eighteen!"

Song Ying's focus shifted back to her beloved Xiaoting.

Xiao Ting answered obediently: "Dad bought some, but they're not as delicious as the candied plums you made."

"Forget about this. Let Lin Dongzhe send it to you tomorrow. If you can trick him, help me do it. He can't hide it from you." Song Ying completed a chat cycle.

"Okay, thank you Auntie Xie." Xiaoting finally handed the phone back to Huang Ling, feeling relieved.

Huang Ling chatted with Song Ying about other gossip for a long time.

Huang Ling told Song Ying that on the third day after the third son of the Zhuang family came back, the two of them caused public outrage and were beaten.

Song Ying burst into laughter on the other end of the phone: "Hahaha, even with Mrs. Zhuang's dominance, she can't stand up to a group of people! Serves her right!"

"That's right, it's better to just keep your tail between your legs and behave yourself. They will suffer in the future."

"Well, you'd better keep an eye on it. I wonder if he will come to cause trouble for your brother Zhou!" Song Ying said worriedly again.

"No, our Captain Zhou has made careful arrangements. I now have three bodyguards following me in three shifts. If he dares to come, I will beat him without hesitation." Huang Ling glanced at Zhou Huaiyi. "As for Captain Zhou himself, with someone like Zhuang Lao San, eight of them wouldn't be enough for him to beat. There's no need to worry at all."

Zhou Huaiyi raised his head from the book and smiled at Huang Ling.

"Okay, as long as Captain Zhou makes the arrangements. If Xiaoting wants to go out during the holiday, remember to ask her to call Dongzhe. Dongzhe can fight, but if he can't fight, he can help her hold the opponent back and let Xiaoting run!" Song Ying also made arrangements.

"Tsk, are you his biological mother?"

"I'm not, you are! We got the wrong baby!"

"Then send it back to me!"

"Send it, send it, I'll send it to you tomorrow morning. Didn't you say that Zhou Ju has something to do tomorrow? How about we cook lunch at home and let them pick up Tu Nan and Xing Yan?"

"OK."

The two of them talked nonsense for a long time and then got back to the main topic.

Xiaoting was very nervous, but her parents did not ask her about it.

Especially her mother.

Xiaoting frowned as she watched her parents chatting about their plans for the New Year.

This year they will stay in Suzhou to celebrate the New Year, and their aunt, uncle and Zhou Huailan's family of three will come to celebrate together.

Tuanan will also be home tomorrow. Xingyan is already busy with her studies, so she just waits for Tuanan to come back together.

Xiaoting thought that she should remind Dongzhe when she saw him tomorrow.

The two decided to talk about this with their families after they graduated from college, and they didn't plan to explain it to them for the time being.

Dongzhe said that his aunt and uncle must like him because he is the son of Song Ying and Lin Wufeng. If he is a son-in-law, it is hard to say. He wants to wait until he finds a decent job before asking, so that he can feel more confident.

After he said that, Xiaoting panicked a little, fearing that her parents would not agree, so she finally decided to keep it a secret for now.

"Xiaoting, what are you thinking about?" Huang Ling called out several times before Xiaoting came back to her senses.

"Oh, Mom, what's wrong? I was thinking about the book I was reading just now." She quickly made an excuse.

"Your brother and sister Xingyan will be back tomorrow. Your aunt Song and I will cook at home. How about you and Dongzhe go pick them up?"

"Oh, okay!" Xiaoting nodded in response.

But she still had some vague worries, which made her feel a little awkward when she saw Dongzhe the next day.

Huang Ling and Song Ying went out to buy groceries, and it was still early to pick someone up, so Xiaoting and Dongzhe were the only ones left in the house.

Dongzhe squeezed next to Xiaoting and laughed without asking any questions.

"Why are you grinning like an idiot?" Xiao Ting asked.

"Nice to see you." Dongzhe answered naturally. Xiaoting was also infected by his smile and chuckled.

"I'm glad you're smiling. You've been worried all morning, your face is twisted. Tell me what's worrying you."

Xiaoting pursed her eyebrows and raised them towards him.

Dongzhe understood immediately:

"They know!"

Xiao Ting shook her head and told him about his mistake yesterday.

Dongzhe said, "What a mistake! What a mistake! I'm sorry, I'm sorry."

Xiao Ting shook her head: "Be careful next time!"

"Well, but I don't have much confidence. I always feel that I can hide it from others but not from Aunt Huang. Fortunately, Brother Bin is not spending the New Year in Suzhou this year. Otherwise, if we are together for a long time, I feel that he will be exposed before us." Dongzhe sighed.

“What if we’re discovered?”

"What can we do? Just admit it honestly. Then you just hide in the house and don't come out. I'm a man, I'll take it all. If you have to beat me or scold me, it's all my fault." Dongzhe patted his chest.

"What if they object? Do you have any plans?"

"My plan is... to be filial to the four of them and take good care of you. I'll have no second thoughts!"

"What kind of plan is this?" Xiaoting questioned, but she was happy in her heart.

"Oh yes, this is what we should do. Plan...plan...I don't think you will disagree!" Dongzhe couldn't think of a plan, so he took a detour.

"I just don't have a plan!" Xiaoting was almost dying of laughter at his suggestion.

"You cry, and then I cry too, and we'll just kneel down and cry in the yard." He had a plan, but seeing Xiaoting glaring at him, he said, "It seems like three of the four of them are stubborn, so this trick probably won't work... I can't just elope with you! That would be even worse, absolutely not."

Xiaoting sighed.

Dongzhe knew that what she was worried about was not that the secret would be exposed, but that she didn't know whether the parents of both sides would support or oppose it in the future.

They have been together for too long, and I am afraid it will be difficult for parents on both sides to change their mindset, so whether they support or oppose it, it will definitely be difficult for them to accept it all at once.

"I was just joking. Look at me and I'll give you a solution." Dongzhe shook Xiaoting's hand and his expression became serious.

Xiaoting looked at Dongzhe.

"First of all, I don't think they would object. At most, they would think that we are still young and shouldn't be dating at this time. I will promise them that it won't affect our studies.

I would tell them that I have liked Xiaoting for a long time, and I made up my mind to take care of her for the rest of my life. That's why I studied so hard just to go to the same school as Xiaoting. So our relationship now will not affect our studies at all, it will only make me more responsible and work harder.

Secondly, if they object, it's definitely not your problem, nor theirs, but mine. It must be that I'm not good enough, so I will study hard, earn money, and eventually find a good job. I have to show them through my actions that I'm capable of protecting and taking good care of Xiaoting, freeing them from any worries.

Finally, I will not give up just because they oppose it. Brother Zheyu has a much harder time than us, but he has never thought about giving up. Instead, he has tried to find ways to solve the problems between him and Sister Shanshan. When all the problems are solved, they will naturally be able to be together.

Xiaoting, they must have confidence in me, and so must you."

Xiaoting listened to Dongzhe's words in a daze, and her heart was relieved immediately.

"Okay, let's go! Let's go pick up Brother Tunan."
