Chapter 793: Meeting the In-Laws and Engaging (Part 1)
In China, every year's Spring Festival film and television productions are highly anticipated.
Especially in the film industry, the battle for the throne of the gods began on the 30th day of the lunar year. Although the competition in the television industry is not as fierce as that in the film industry, not everyone dares to set a release date on the 29th day of the lunar year.
"City of Youth" is truly a show of great talent and courage, daring to compete with the Spring Festival Gala for ratings during the Chinese New Year.
As a result, the drama became popular before it was aired and attracted the attention of countless netizens.
On the 29th day of the lunar year, at 8 pm, "City of Youth" was officially launched on the Penguin Video platform.
At the same time, major ratings charts began to change - the real-time playback volume of "City of Youth" climbed up rapidly at an incredible speed.
By the time the first episode was finished, the show's effective playback volume had already ranked among the top ten.
[Report! The real-time playback volume of "City of Youth" has exceeded 5,000!]
[Report again! The number of views has successfully exceeded 6,000!]
[Fifth place! Holy crap, this is rocket-like growth, awesome!]
[Just finished watching the first episode. Xu Mu is really a YYD, the plot is awesome!]
Before the show aired, I thought it was a clichéd youth romance drama, but it turned out to be a suspenseful and brain-burning drama. There were 800 twists and turns in one episode, and everyone's IQ was on point, especially the female lead, played by Ruan Qi. She's absolutely captivating!
[Ahhhhh, I watched three episodes in a row, the plot is so exciting. Is Ruan Qi's acting really that amazing? I was so scared when she got angry!]
"City of Youth" premiered three episodes, and the popularity of the show was off the charts.
That night, five topics including #Ruan Qi's acting skills are explosive##"City of Youth" is a bit scary#, etc., all rushed to the hot search.
Ruan Qi's number of Weibo followers increased rapidly again, and along with the number of followers, the faith value in the system also increased.
Bai Li was very happy.
"As long as this drama can maintain its popularity, after the finale, Ruan Xiaoqi, you'll probably be able to add another five or six years to your lifespan. Ruan Xiaoqi? Ruan Xiaoqi, what are you doing? I'm talking to you!"
The little girl, who was concentrating on training for a team battle, made a halfhearted "hmm" sound.
"Don't make noise, we're just practicing games."
When Bai Li saw this, he immediately shut his mouth.
While City of Youth was important, the Rongyao League World Championship was even more important. To date, no Chinese esports team had ever won the Rongyao League World Championship. If myq could win this time, their Faith Points would surely surge.
Bai Li didn't dare to disturb Ruan Qi's training, and tactfully hid in the space to watch TV series.
Ruan Qi trained until very late.
By the time she finished the last team battle, the time in the lower right corner of the computer had turned to midnight.
At this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door.
"Baby, are you asleep?"
It's the sound of willows.
Ruan Qi quickly pushed open the computer chair and said, "I'm not asleep. Mom, come in."
Yang Liu, wearing a nightgown, pushed open the bedroom door and walked in.
"Why aren't you asleep yet? Staying up late will make you look old, little girl."
"I just finished training and will be going to bed soon." Ruan Qi stood up and took Yang Liu's hand. "Why isn't mom asleep yet?"
Yang Liu: "It's New Year's Eve. I just finished discussing with your dad how to spend the Spring Festival. Honey, when are you planning to go abroad to participate in the esports competition?"
Ruan Qi thought for a moment and said, "Around the fourth day of the Lunar New Year. The competition starts on the eighth day, and I want to take my teammates there early to acclimate to the climate there. What's wrong, Mom? Is there something wrong?"
"It's something." Yang Liu raised her hand and touched her head, saying softly, "Baby, you and that kid from the Xi family have been together for over a year, right?"
Ruan Qi nodded her head: "Yeah, what's wrong?"
Yang Liu: "I just discussed it with your father. You two have been together for such a long time and have a good relationship. It seems that you will not break up. In that case, shouldn't our parents meet to finalize your relationship?"
This topic was completely beyond Ruan Qi's expectations.
She was stunned for a moment and blinked: "The parents of both sides met? Did Dad agree?"
Given her father's protective personality, would he take the initiative to meet with the in-laws to discuss the marriage?
Why is she so unconvinced?
The little girl looked at him with an expression of 'I don't believe it'.
Seeing this, Yang Liu raised her eyebrows and said in a very domineering manner, "It doesn't matter whether he agrees or not. Anyway, your grandparents and I all agree. Your father only has the right to make suggestions in this family, not the right to decide."
Ruan Qi: "..." Her poor father.
Ruan Qi had already imagined the miserable scene of her own father hiding in the quilt, biting the corner of the quilt and crying, and she couldn't help but burst out laughing.
"Mom, is this really okay? Will Dad be angry?"
"Why should he be angry?" Yang Liu rolled her eyes gracefully. "Don't you understand your father's feelings? He just can't bear to part with you and wishes you'd never get married. But you and Lao Jiu have been dating for almost two years. If your parents don't meet, it would seem disrespectful to each other. Besides, couples who truly want to get married don't delay meeting their parents for years. Have Lao Jiu's family ever mentioned meeting his parents?"
Ruan Qi nodded. "Yes. Grandpa Xi mentioned it several times, but he knew our family situation and that you and Dad were busy, so he didn't rush me. He and Uncle Xi and Aunt Xi have always wanted to meet you."
When Yang Liu heard this, a smile appeared on her bright face.
"The Xi family are all honest people, especially Old Man Xi, who helped your father and me a lot back then. In fact, after returning to the imperial capital this time, your father and I should have visited the Xi family first. But your father was worried that the Cheng family would find out that we were still in contact with Old Man Xi, so he held back."
When the Cheng family was mentioned, Ruan Qi couldn't help but frown: "Grandpa Xi and my uncle and aunt don't care about the Cheng family."
"I know. But the Xi family doesn't care, but your father and I can't. The Cheng family is treacherous, and if they find out that Old Xi is still connected to us, they'll probably cause trouble for the Xi family. You're going to marry Old Nine in the future, and Mom and Dad can't let this affect you and the Xi family."
Ruan Qi understood the good intentions of Yang Liu and Ruan Fengmian, and her heart couldn't help but feel warm.
"Mom, why do you think so much? I'm not afraid of the Cheng family, and neither is Jiujiu. Grandpa Xi once said that he would help us deal with the Cheng family. The Xi family are all good people, and they all love me very much."
The little girl's words were full of trust in the Xi family. Yang Liu couldn't help but smile with relief as she listened.
"My baby is very lucky to have met such a good boyfriend and in-laws. My baby will definitely be very happy in the future."
"Of course." Ruan Qi hugged her mother's slender waist and leaned against her chest. "Don't worry, Mom. No matter how many difficulties I encounter in the future, I will work hard to make myself happy."
