Chapter 194: Confession
Lu Ye looked at Shen Qian and asked, "So, you're not going to be working with my boyfriend in the future, are you?"
Meeting Lu Ye's questioning gaze, Shen Qian immediately gave him a thumbs up, "As expected of our boss."
Shen Qian explained, "That's right. I came to the military hospital not for further studies, but because I was selected by the organization to join the medical research and development team. I heard that Bai Zhi was also on the team. I contacted the experts at the military hospital, and they all had no clue about this topic and were waiting for Bai Zhi to join so they could start their research."
She smiled and told Lu Ye the purpose of her visit, "So I came here first to get to know her. She's your girlfriend, so I'll get to know her while I'm at it. Is that alright?"
Hearing her explanation, Lu Ye felt relieved and readily agreed, "No problem."
Shen Qian continued, "A-Zheng sought out Doctor Ye for acupuncture, and Gu Xiaoyue came to inquire when Ye Rufeng would return to Nancheng. She wanted her mother to receive treatment from Doctor Ye, so the three of us came together."
"Um."
Lu Ye looked at them, pondered for a moment, and then said to them, "You guys stay at a hotel tonight. Book your accommodation first, then come home with me for dinner later. I need your help with something."
When Ye Qingbai heard that Lu Ye had actually invited them to his second grandfather's house, he said in a low voice, "Brother Ye, that show-off guy clearly has a prejudice against you. Why did you invite him?"
Lu Ye smiled, his eyes deepening slightly. "I have my reasons."
Lu Ye had Ye Qingbai drive them to book rooms at the Bincheng Hotel.
Then we went home together.
At 6 p.m., Ye Qingbai drove over again to pick up Ye Rufeng and Bai Zhi from get off work.
Seeing Ye Qingbai doing nothing all day but driving around aimlessly, Ye Rufeng expressed his disgust, saying, "What are you doing, running around like a scoundrel? Don't you need to fill up this car?"
Ye Qingbai never expected that the boomerang he had used to insult Xie Zheng during the day would hit him on the head so quickly.
Ye Qingbo was looked down upon. He scratched his head and explained, "Second Grandfather, I don't have anything to do either, and there's no one else at home."
Ye Rufeng rolled her eyes at him, "Don't you know how to go to the pig farm and help your dad and the others raise pigs?"
Ye Qingbo argued confidently, "They don't need me. They're professionals. What if I go and their piglets die?"
Bai Zhi looked at him and said with a smile, "Cousin, since you're so free, why don't you find someone to date?"
I'm already twenty-five or twenty-six, it's time to find someone.
Otherwise, if she clings to Lu Ye in the future, it will negatively impact their relationship.
Upon hearing Bai Zhi's words, Ye Qingbai's handsome face flushed a dark red.
He didn't show it on his face, but sighed, "Cousin, finding a boyfriend isn't that easy."
Bai Zhi was quite proactive in this matter, saying, "If you want to find someone, I can introduce you to someone."
Upon hearing this, Ye Qingbo quickly refused, "No need, no need."
Bai Zhi didn't expect him to refuse so decisively. He's such a grown man, yet he has absolutely no interest in finding a partner.
This isn't right.
Does he have someone in his heart?
Just as Bai Zhi was thinking this, she heard Ye Rufeng say quietly from the side, "He likes women older than him. Do you think it will work if you introduce a young girl to him?"
Bai Zhi, "???"
Do you prefer older women?
Is it true or false?
Grandpa even knows this?
"He likes your sister-in-law, you should introduce them to her later," Ye Rufeng leaned closer to Bai Zhi and whispered, "so that he can give up."
Bai Zhi was stunned and opened her mouth wide when she heard the news.
Does Ye Qingbai like Lu Shan?
Oh my god.
What earth-shattering news is this?
Upon hearing this news, Bai Zhi was not only shocked, but also filled with melancholy.
Ye Qingbo and Lu Shan's relationship is destined to have no future.
She has someone in her heart.
Bai Zhi suddenly felt a pang of sympathy for Ye Qingbai.
She could tell that Ye Qingbo was a very innocent young man.
Once he's committed to someone, it's very difficult for him to change his mind.
When they arrived at the door, it was tightly closed. Ye Rufeng repeatedly suggested that Ye Qingbai go home as soon as possible.
But Ye Qingbai ignored them completely, got out of the car, locked the door, and followed them toward the gate.
"Cousin, please open the door."
Bai Zhi pushed open the door, and suddenly a pleasant melody rang out in the courtyard.
I like you.
A ring of colorful lights hung under the eaves of the house, shining with vibrant colors.
Lu Ye walked up to her, holding a bouquet of flowers in his hands.
"Xiao Bai, can I be promoted to a full-time employee today?"
Bai Zhi stared at the scene set up in the courtyard, at Lu Ye holding a bunch of plastic flowers, and at the crowd of onlookers behind him, speechless with surprise. "You guys..."
Lu Ye looked at her and said softly, "Please everyone be our witnesses, we are officially becoming boyfriend and girlfriend today, okay?"
He handed the bouquet to Bai Zhi, then took out a ring from his pocket and slipped it onto her finger before she could react. "This is the engagement ring I'm giving you."
Bai Zhi's finger was firmly secured by the ring. She stared blankly at Lu Ye and asked, "Lu Ye, where did you learn this trick?"
These rituals would be commonplace in later generations.
But nowadays, it's quite trendy.
Lu Ye, that blockhead straight man, is actually quite good at handling things.
He gazed at her with deep affection, his voice gentle as water, "This isn't something I learned; it's my true feelings for you."
Bai Zhi, "!!!"
She met his deep eyes and was deeply moved.
Having been given a second chance at life, she finally found true love.
She finally married this man.
Her nose stung, and her voice was muffled as she said, "Thank you."
"Can I become a full-time employee now?" The man looked at her with utmost sincerity, almost pleading.
Bai Zhi hugged the plastic flowers, looked at the ring on her hand, and nodded shyly.
Lu Ye excitedly pulled the person into his arms.
Just then, Xie Zheng called out "Grandpa Ye" from the side.
At that moment, his voice seemed so abrupt.
However, Ye Rufeng ignored him.
The usually serious old man was somewhat moved as he watched this scene.
The others, too, watched Lu Ye and Bai Zhi hug each other, some moved, some shy, some surprised.
The two young girls, Zhou Lin and Gu Xiaoyue, looked at the scene before them, and shyly turned their backs to them, too embarrassed to look.
Gu Xiaoyue was slightly bolder than Zhou Lin, and even secretly glanced at the man standing next to Shen Qian.
Under the flashing colored lights, his face flickered between light and shadow, as if tinged with a mysterious aura.
Holding the bouquet, Bai Zhi looked shyly at Lu Ye and said, "Then in front of my grandfather and everyone else, you promise that you will not let me down in the future."
Lu Ye raised his hand as if to swear, "I, Lu Ye, hereby guarantee that in this life, there will only be Bai Zhi as my lover. I will cherish her, love her, and respect her from now on. If she does not leave me, I will be with her through life and death."
