"Tell me, your little company has been doing well these past two months. Even your father would praise you. Besides, you're going out to learn more, and the plan is for about a year. There's no reason for you to refuse, is there?"
Xu Zhaoyue told Xu Zhaohao this, and Xu Guangcai agreed. However, he made a request that scared Xu Zhaohao so much that he almost left the country overnight.
Xu Zhaohao and Xu Zhaoyue spoke with disbelief, “Dad said he would arrange a blind date for me when I come back. Sister, you have to stop him. You have to protect my reputation.”
"Don't worry, you're not going abroad until next year, okay? Don't be so anxious." Xu Zhaoyue didn't understand either. Even if Xu Zhaohao came back from studying abroad, he wouldn't be twenty-five yet. Why was he in such a hurry?
It wasn't until Xu Zhaoyue and Yue Lanxing were taking a walk that evening that they managed to piece together some clues.
She and Yue Lanxing had long ago discussed not having children, since Yue Lanxing's illness would harm the children if it were passed down. Several families knew about this to some extent.
But that's all they know. They don't know that Xu Zhaohao won't have any children in the future. Could it be that the Jin family and Xu Guangcai were talking about the company going to Xu Zhaohao's child, who is Xu Guangcai's grandson?
If that's really the idea, then they'll be disappointed. When Xu Zhaoyue mentioned this idea, Yue Lanxing was also surprised. "If that's the thought, then Xiao Hao has to be prepared for a long time to come."
Whether Xu Zhaohao was ready or not was another matter; first, they celebrated Xu Zhaoyue and Yue Lanxing's engagement ceremony.
The engagement ceremony was in three days, and they stayed at the Golden Jubilee Hotel for those three days. In addition to their relatives, they also invited some of their own friends to the engagement ceremony.
"This is the ceremony schedule, it should take about half an hour, followed by a cocktail party. Xiaonan said the three outfits you chose have arrived, we're going to... what do you think of me?"
Yue Lanxing was talking enthusiastically when she looked up and saw that the young lady's attention was still on the model in front of her.
"Huh?" Xu Zhaoyue was clearly taken aback by Yue Lanxing's sudden approach. "Did you hear what I just said?" Yue Lanxing asked her again, his face tense.
"Hi, I heard it, I heard it with both ears. The clothes have arrived. Our ceremony will last about half an hour, and the rest of the time will be for friends to share our happy engagement."
Xu Zhaoyue spoke of this with anticipation, "Besides these, there's also the matter of going to the capital during the Spring Festival to announce it to them again."
Yue Lanxing was finally happy. "Alright, don't think about work for the next three days. You've practically been living in the research building for the past month. No wonder you asked them to design the dormitory building."
Xu Zhaoyue knew he was upset because he felt neglected. "I did this so that the results could be published in the newspaper along with our engagement ceremony."
"Publish it in the newspaper?" Yue Lanxing looked surprised. "Didn't you say you wouldn't let reporters in? You said you'd notify them when we got married."
Xu Zhaoyue took his hand and said, "I was thinking that this is the happiest time for the two of us, but we still have to face the camera and questions. It's too boring."
"Besides, I'd be embarrassed if my engagement made the front page. But I also feel that big days should be shared with everyone, so I'm trying to figure out how to let everyone know without getting too much attention."
Yue Lanxing continued, "So you want to announce the engagement and research results together, so that every time they mention the research results, they'll remember our engagement?"
“Yes, tomorrow’s interview will be a double celebration. My success is closely related to your support.” Xu Zhaoyue nodded.
Yue Lanxing didn't know how to describe her current feelings. "Isn't this the same effect as many scientific research achievements abroad being named after people?"
Xu Zhaoyue leaned on his shoulder, "You and scientific research are equally important to me."
"Would you describe it as romantic in one word?" Yue Lanxing lowered her head and laughed. "Romantic? Isn't that a bit too stiff?" Xu Zhaoyue was puzzled; she herself was embarrassed to call it a romantic act.
"Romantic? How can it not be romantic to put me in such an important position?" Yue Lanxing said solemnly.
After Xu Zhaoyue and Yue Lanxing got engaged, the next big banquet would be their wedding, which would be three years later.
“Xiao Hao said he’ll definitely come back this time.” Xu Zhaoyue looked at the letter in her hand. “He’s been studying abroad for two years now, and he hasn’t come back since he confessed to the master in his letter.” Yue Lanxing leaned over to look at the letter.
Xu Zhaoyue couldn't help but laugh when she thought about the scene. "My dad's reaction was too much. Luckily, I brought a doctor with me in advance. I locked myself in my room for a month before I realized that my brother couldn't see."
“Yes, it’s fortunate that the master’s health condition is not suitable for going abroad, otherwise he definitely would have gone,” Yue Lanxing said.
Xu Zhaoyue carefully put the letter in the box. "He still writes to Xiao Hao every day to educate him, but Xiao Hao says he stopped reading after a few letters. The He family, on the other hand, has a better attitude."
“Lianhua is five months pregnant. She gained a little weight when I last saw her,” Xu Zhaoyue recalled. “Don’t worry, we’ve arranged two extra waiters for her, just to serve her exclusively,” Yue Lanxing said.
