He Yanchen easily guessed He Mingyu's thoughts from his expression.
He placed the shrimp he had peeled on Lin Zhixing's plate, picked up a wet towel, and slowly wiped his fingers while asking, "I heard you two are already living together. Then some things need to be decided sooner rather than later."
Xia Lu held her chin with both hands, looking shy.
Lin Zhixing lowered his head and quietly ate the peeled shrimp on the plate, refusing to participate in this topic.
In her guess, today's dinner was just He Mingyu taking Xia Lu to meet the elders.
Judging from what Yin Ruyu said before, she might know that He Mingyu has other girlfriends and her attitude is against it.
That's why He Mingyu brought Xia Lu to see He Yanchen.
The man who truly has the final say in the He family.
As long as He Yanchen nods, it will only be a matter of time before He Mingyu's parents change their attitude.
Sometimes favoritism can be cruel.
She and He Mingyu have been dating for four years and have lived together for four years. The man's parents both agree with the relationship, and he is not in a hurry to express his desire to marry her.
Can.
He and Xia Lu had only been living together for a week when he couldn't wait to take her to meet He Yanchen, trying every possible way to get their relationship on the agenda.
Being well matched is just an excuse.
It all comes down to preference.
Lin Zhixing had just swallowed the shrimp when the man next to her grabbed the handle of her chair and pulled it towards him.
Lin Zhixing didn't react at all to the sudden shift of the chair. Due to inertia, he leaned towards the man and bumped into his strong arm.
The distance was too close, and Lin Zhixing could smell the faint scent of the man's woody perfume.
He Yanchen acted as if he hadn't noticed and raised his hand to tell the waiter, "Add a seat here and get a set of tableware."
Lin Zhixing finally understood.
It is to add a chair for Xia Lu's father.
It fits perfectly between her and Xia Lu.
Lin Zhixing moved the tableware that was shifted in front of him towards himself, then picked up the cup and was about to take a sip of water when he heard He Yanchen's voice from the side.
"What day of the week do you prefer?"
Because the chair was movable, the man didn't have to lean over and the sound could easily reach her ears.
It was so low and frivolous that only the two of them could hear it.
Lin Zhixing didn't understand the man's question at all.
She tilted her head to look at the man beside her.
Too close a distance.
She just turned her face slightly and could see the man's gaze on her.
There was no expression on his handsome and cold face, but his dark eyes were filled with warmth.
Seeing that she didn't say anything, the man asked again, "What day of the week do you like?"
This time, Lin Zhixing confirmed that he had not heard wrongly.
The man was really asking her such a confusing question.
As a doctor, the hospital schedule is based on months, not days of the week.
Lin Zhixing has no special feelings about the day of the week.
She took Wang Xue's preferences into consideration and replied, "Saturday?"
The man beside him nodded slightly, "Okay, Saturday then."
At this moment, Lin Zhixing still didn't know what the man meant by asking him this question.
Until Xia Lu's father, Xia Changhai, came to the box.
After a few pleasantries, He Yanchen said, "Since Xiaoyu and Miss Xia are planning to get married, why not get engaged first."
Xia Changhai's company was in crisis, and he originally wanted to make He Mingyu and Xia Lu's relationship public.
When she heard about the engagement, she was overjoyed and said, "Okay, okay, of course."
He Mingyu's face turned green.
But at this time, he couldn't say that he didn't want to get engaged. He just hoped that the engagement would last a little longer so that he could negotiate it later.
He Yanchen curled the corners of his lips and said, "I think next Saturday would be a good choice. Let's do it next Saturday then."
"Uncle!" He Mingyu finally couldn't sit still any longer, "I still need to discuss this matter with my parents."
"Okay, I'll ask a friend to take charge of Saturday's engagement party. You can also go back and discuss the guests with your parents. If there's anything that goes wrong, feel free to contact me."
He Yanchen's tone was calm and gentle.
But there was absolutely no intention of not holding this engagement party.
Xia Lu didn't expect everything to go so smoothly. She smiled and said, "Ayu, your uncle is so good to you."
Xia Changhai also echoed, "There's a huge gap between our Xia family and the He family, and Lulu really likes Mr. He. I was worried that the He family would look down on ours, but I didn't expect... Mr. He, you're so open-minded."
"What era is it now? What matters most is that Xiaoyu likes it." He Yanchen looked at He Mingyu with a smile in his eyes, "Doesn't Xiaoyu want to marry Miss Xia?"
He Mingyu is now in a difficult situation.
He had had many fleeting romances before.
It's all just for fun.
My feelings for Xia Lu aren't actually much more than those people's.
The reason why Xia Lu was able to move into his villa was, after all, because he and Lin Zhixing were angry with each other.
He thought that Lin Zhixing would quickly admit his mistake and seek reconciliation, just like he had done many times before.
I never expected that this time, instead of waiting for Lin Zhixing to admit his mistake, my uncle forced me to get engaged to Xia Lu!
Xia Lu pulled the chair next to He Mingyu, holding the man's arm, her face full of shyness, "Ayu, you said you would marry me. Since my uncle said so, why don't we get engaged next Saturday?"
He Mingyu stopped pretending, "Marriage is a lifelong thing. We've been together for less than a month, and I'm busy with work. We still need to get to know each other better."
If Xia Changhai didn't come, he could of course just come clean and say he didn't want to get engaged.
But, Xia Changhai came.
The Xia family is a well-established enterprise with a certain status in North City, and he doesn't want to offend Xia Changhai.
