Love Variety Show (40)
Si Lin took the initiative to bring up the topic of marriage.
Xi Jiu and Cheng Jinyan, who were quite sensitive about this matter, put down their chopsticks unconsciously.
"Xiao Qi has indeed reached the legal age." Cheng Jinyan replied calmly, "But she is still young, so let her play for a few more years. Our family is not in a hurry."
You are not in a hurry, but Mr. Xi is.
The guests complained in their hearts and turned their eyes to Xi Jiu.
Xi Jiu glanced at Cheng Jinyan, grabbed Ruan Qi's left hand, and said in a deep voice, "It all depends on Xiao Qi's opinion. I'm ready at any time. As long as she nods, we will go and get the certificate immediately."
Xi Jiu's desire to get married was beyond words.
Ji Beibei exclaimed, "Wow!" and pressed on, "Does everyone in your family agree?"
"Everyone agrees." Xi Jiu lowered his eyes, looked at Ruan Qi gently, and replied to Ji Beibei, "The elders of our two families knew each other before. My grandmother was Xiao Qi's grandmother's best friend when she was alive. They all support Xiao Qi and me."
Everyone knew a little about the internal feuds within the Cheng family, but what no one knew was that the late Grandma Xi was actually a close friend of Ruan Qi's grandmother.
Everyone was stunned when they heard such a secret of a wealthy family.
Ji Beibei, who was outspoken, blurted out her true feelings without thinking: "Old Madam Xi and Ruanbao's grandmother are actually best friends? If Ruanbao hadn't left the capital when he was a child, then Mr. Xi, you and Ruanbao would have been childhood sweethearts..."
As soon as he finished speaking, Si Lin's face changed and he quickly poked Ji Beibei.
Ruan Qi didn't grow up in the imperial capital because Ruan Fengmian and Yang Liu were hunted by the Cheng family and had to flee elsewhere. For the Ruan family, this was not a happy memory. Didn't Ji Beibei say it in front of so many people, which was like a stab in Ruan Qi's heart?
After being poked by Si Lin, Ji Beibei reacted suddenly.
She immediately panicked, subconsciously covering her mouth and looking at Ruan Qi with an apologetic and flustered look.
"Ruanbao, I'm sorry, I'm not..."
Before Ji Beibei finished speaking, Ruan Qi put down her chopsticks and waved her hand indifferently.
"It's okay, Sister Beibei, you don't have to apologize." Ruan Qi smiled and spoke in a relaxed tone. "Although my family had a difficult time during those years, my family never hesitated to talk about these things. It wasn't us who made the mistake, so why should we be so shy about it?"
The guests present did not expect Ruan Qi to be so open-minded, and they all breathed a sigh of relief.
Seeing that Ji Beibei still had a guilty look on her face, Ruan Qi took the initiative to bring up the topic she had just mentioned.
"Actually, what Sister Beibei said is right. If I had grown up in the imperial capital, Jiujiu and I might have become childhood sweethearts. But there's a big age gap between us. I think I was just born when Jiujiu was in elementary school."
Ruan Qi and Xi Jiu are seven years apart in age. If Xi Jiu started school at the age of six, then Ruan Qi would have just been born when he was in the second grade of elementary school.
The little girl with an icy face carrying a small schoolbag and holding a newborn baby in swaddling clothes, everyone couldn't help laughing when they thought of this picture.
Ji Beibei also completely relaxed and said jokingly with a smile: "If that's the case, then Master Xi will have to raise the child from a young age. But you will only be seven years old at that time, so you shouldn't be able to raise a baby, right?"
Ji Beibei just asked casually and didn't intend for Xi Jiu to answer.
But Xi Jiu thought about it and said very seriously: "I can learn."
"If Xiaoqi was really born in the imperial capital, I would definitely raise her myself."
Suddenly I want to write an if line where Ruanbao was born in the capital and raised by Mr. Xi (hold down your hand that is about to start)
The author has her period. The pain started yesterday and it was so severe that she couldn't get out of bed, so she hasn't updated. I'll update less today and make up for it when the pain subsides. [crying] Periods are truly a lifelong pain.
