Chapter 799: Is it time to get engaged?
"From now on, I will only stand for Aunt Su." Bai Qingxia tiptoed close to Lu Yuanqiu's ear and whispered.
Lu Yuanqiu also leaned close to her ear and whispered in response: "I have never sided with my father, and I won't do that now. I am different from him. I only have enough time to love one person in my life. I won't even look at other women."
The heat from her ears left, and Bai Qingxia slowly looked at him with her eyes slanted, and saw Lu Yuanqiu's white teeth. He was smiling proudly and brilliantly.
Bai Qingxia instinctively suppressed the corners of her mouth.
"And you?"
Amid the background noise of quarreling, Lu Yuanqiu shamelessly lowered his head and asked her a quick question.
Bai Qingxia turned back with red earlobes, scratching her fair cheek with her fingers, and was completely unable to say such embarrassing words.
Seeing Bai Songzhe's embarrassment, Lu Yuanqiu quickly turned around and walked over to separate his parents. Lu Tian quietly pointed at Bai Songzhe and said to his wife with an apologetic smile, "Let's talk about it when we get home, let's talk about it when we get home. Old Bai finally sobered up..."
He pointed at Bai Qingxia and his son again and winked at Su Xiaoya. Lu Yuanqiu coughed and pretended not to understand. Su Xiaoya naturally understood. She gritted her teeth and glared at her husband: "This matter is not over. You must explain it to me clearly when you go back."
"Of course, of course."
Lu Yuanqiu returned to Bai Qingxia's side, and Lu Tian and Su Xiaoya stopped fighting and walked to the bedside one after another.
Bai Songzhe looked at Su Xiaoya and said, "Maybe I remembered it wrongly. I guess the old man didn't know about your situation, so he made this arrangement."
"It's okay, let's skip this matter for now. I came here mainly to see you today. Our two families should have found time to have a meal together a long time ago." Su Xiaoya said with a smile.
"Uh." Bai Songzhe's gaze swept over Lu Yuanqiu and Bai Qingxia, and then he heard Lu Tian say, "Can he be discharged from the hospital? It shouldn't be a big deal. Let's make some arrangements. Let's have lunch together at noon today to celebrate for Old Bai."
After saying that, Lu Tian turned around and smiled at Zhang Ru, as if he had already regarded Zhang Ru as Bai Qingxia's mother.
"Ah..." Zhang Ru didn't know what to say and could only nod in agreement.
Bai Songzhe: "Well, it's time to have a proper meal. Thank you for taking care of Xiaoxia over the past few years. I'm fine and can be discharged from the hospital. I should be able to remember the things I forgot during this period."
Bai Qingxia walked over and helped him stand up. Bai Songzhe smiled and told his daughter that he was fine. He was very tall, and his temperament had changed a lot after he returned to normal. Even the crow's feet at the corners of his eyes were full of stories on this face. Compared with Zheng Yifeng, his modeling was barely equal, but he still lacked a lot of the charm that a mature man should have. In this respect, Bai Songzhe was simply invincible.
In fact, Lu Yuanqiu understood Aunt Zhang. Who could keep this face every day without getting confused?
He smiled and said to everyone, "I'll go through the formalities and book a hotel."
"Stop eating! Are you feeling full?" Lu Yuanqiu stretched out his hand and stopped his third sister who was about to open the other fruit baskets.
Lu Douqing withdrew her hands and pouted in grievance.
Hotel box.
Bai Qingxia and Zhang Ru sat on either side of Bai Songzhe. Considering that the father and daughter might have a lot to say, Lu Yuanqiu also sat next to his parents, with Lu Douqing sitting between the two families.
During this period, the third sister was "abandoned" by her family and seemed to have become a homeless child who had to eat at many people's homes. While the two parents were talking, she sat there alone unpacking the tableware.
"Go report with Xiaoqiu this afternoon. I'm fine." Bai Songzhe said to his daughter.
Bai Qingxia nodded. She held her father's arm and thought of something. She leaned her head happily on her father's shoulder with a sweet smile on her face.
"My Xia Xia, you've become an adult all of a sudden." Bai Songzhe also smiled and put his cheek against Bai Qingxia's head.
"What are you standing there for? The tea has been served for so long, go pour some tea for your Uncle Bai! You are almost at the age of getting married, and you are still acting so stupid." Lu Tian scolded Lu Yuanqiu.
Finally, I gave you a chance to hint about this matter to someone else’s father… Lu Yuanqiu picked up the teapot and retorted in his heart.
Lu Tian's voice made the father and daughter who were whispering to each other look up.
Bai Qingxia sat up straight, feeling a little embarrassed when she thought about how she had teamed up with Lu Yuanqiu's family to prepare a "marriage-ready" surprise for her father. She lowered her eyes and unpacked the tableware. Bai Songzhe smiled faintly, slowly crossed his fingers, and nodded and thanked Lu Yuanqiu who came over to pour her tea.
Lu Yuanqiu: "It's okay."
"How long have you two been together?" Bai Songzhe picked up the cup and took a sip, then asked the two of them with a normal expression.
Under the table, Lu Tian kicked Lu Yuanqiu on the foot.
Lu Yuanqiu quickly responded: "352.5 days."
The couple here looked straight ahead, and after hearing their son's response, they looked like they wanted to laugh but were forcing themselves to hold it back.
"Cough." Bai Songzhe coughed. Seeing this, Bai Qingxia quickly handed him a tissue, but her eyes were looking at the other side. Bai Songzhe wiped his mouth and repeated, "Five?"
Lu Yuanqiu smiled and said, "Isn't today just halfway through?"
"Ah, you are quite attentive." Bai Songzhe responded.
Lu Yuanqiu responded seriously: "It's a very important matter to me, so I will take it very seriously."
Bai Qingxia smiled and pursed her lips.
Bai Songzhe asked curiously, "Where are you at now?"
Lu Yuanqiu was stunned: "Ah? We are going to...we..."
He felt like he had misheard, but wasn't that what he was asking? Lu Yuanqiu looked at Bai Qingxia, and Bai Qingxia looked at him, both of them with frozen expressions.
Zhang Ru remembered something and looked at Lu Douqing.
As if sensing that the atmosphere was not right, Bai Songzhe suddenly realized something and quickly raised his hand and said, "My... I mean, are you engaged? During the time I was sick..."
Damn, if you don’t correct me, I almost said it out loud! Uncle Bai, you are really (helplessly taking off glasses)
Lu Yuanqiu looked as uncomfortable as if he had eaten shit, but luckily he learned his lesson this time and didn't rush to answer. Bai Qingxia, with a flushed face, played with the water stains on the table with her fingers, her chest heaving as she breathed a sigh of relief.
Lu Tian: "No, we're not engaged. I just thought I'd at least wait until you recover."
The implication is...isn't it time to get engaged?
Bai Songzhe nodded. Of course he understood what he meant. His inner feelings were actually a bit complicated. He felt like he had just woken up, but he was about to give up his whole world.
He had no objection to the fact that Lu Yuanqiu was a trustworthy child, and he was also aware that the two of them loved each other, but Bai Songzhe always felt that the progress was too fast.
He said that his daughter had grown up, but in his heart, she had only untied the twin ponytails at the back of her head, and nothing else had changed.
He hasn't even properly compensated his daughter yet, so he's going to marry her off...
"Well, we can find a time to hold an engagement ceremony for the two children." Bai Songzhe had a smile on his face, and his hands held Bai Qingxia's hands tightly under the table.
Bai Qingxia silently looked at her father's profile.
