"I'm sorry... but Xiaoruo, you and Xianmingyu said that next month would be our engagement day. Now there are only a few days left in this month. If we're not really engaged, then he..."
Bai Xiaoruo impatiently interrupted Ji Ziqian. Why did he always have to bring up Xian Mingyu at times like this? Did he distrust her, or did he harbor a lot of prejudice against Xian Mingyu?
"Brother Ziqian, no matter what I said before, I am now your girlfriend, that's a fact. You don't need to worry about what Xianmingyu will do to me anymore. I'm not that charming; he won't even glance at me again. Even if I agree to get engaged right now, it's just something to do to please others. Is it really necessary?" She was telling the truth. She really didn't want to argue with Ji Ziqian anymore. If he couldn't even give her basic trust, then what was the point of being together?
Bai Xiaoruo knew that Ji Ziqian cared too much and was too afraid of losing her, but when it came to matters of the heart, how could she do things to please others because of his anxiety and the various opinions from the outside world?
It's unnecessary, really unnecessary.
All she wanted was simple love, nothing more, and for both of them to be well.
Ji Ziqian was silent for a few seconds. He had thought it over. "Xiao Ruo, to be honest... does being with me make you feel wronged?"
Bai Xiaoruo paused for a moment, turned to look out the car window, and replied, "I'm not wronged."
"good."
Ji Ziqian didn't mention the engagement again. He started the car and drove towards the Ji family home.
He suddenly seemed like a different person, and they didn't have anything to talk about the rest of the way.
***
The car drove into the Ji family's garage, and Bai Xiaoruo and Ji Ziqian got out of the car together.
As they were about to enter the house, his hand suddenly wrapped around her waist from behind. Bai Xiaoruo couldn't help but shiver. At first, she was a little uncomfortable, but after all, she was his girlfriend, so she no longer resisted and let him carry her into the house.
It was almost time to eat, and the servants had already brought all the dishes to the table.
Ji Shushu was not seen in the inner room; instead, Ji's father and mother were sitting in the living room.
Upon seeing Bai Xiaoruo, both elders expressed their welcome.
"Xiao Ruo, it's been so long since you've been here. You've become even more beautiful."
"Xiao Ruo, want to come play with Shu Shu? That girl isn't home tonight."
Bai Xiaoruo bowed awkwardly, "Hello, Uncle, hello, Aunt. I saw Shushu leave the school gate after school, didn't she go home?"
"That girl is very clever. She said she had an appointment with a friend and wouldn't be coming back for dinner."
"Oh, I see..." Bai Xiaoruo suddenly realized why Ji Shushu was so excited and ran so fast after school; it turned out she had a date that evening.
Ji's father and mother noticed Ji Ziqian's hand around Bai Xiaoruo's waist with sharp eyes. They were somewhat surprised, exchanged a glance, and didn't know how to speak.
Father Ji coughed twice before asking, "Ziqian, you and Xiaoruo... you two..."
He was implying something, and Ji Ziqian and Bai Xiaoruo naturally understood.
Bai Xiaoruo pursed her lips and said nothing. She decided to let Ziqian answer, since she was an outsider.
"Dad, Mom, I was just about to tell you. Xiao Ruo and I are together now."
"What?" Madam Ji's face changed drastically, turning very ugly. "Ziqian, when did this happen? Why didn't you tell us?"
“We’ve only been together for a little over half a month, and besides, you and Father have been out of town. I wanted to find an opportunity to talk to you in person.”
More than half a month... it's been that long...
“Dad, Mom, there’s something else I want to tell you,” Ji Ziqian said, glancing at Bai Xiaoruo beside him. “Please pick a good day before the end of this month, as Xiaoruo and I are going to have our engagement ceremony.”
got engaged?!
This not only shocked Ji's father and mother, but Bai Xiaoruo also never expected it.
How could Ziqian say such a thing in front of his aunt and uncle? She had already clearly rejected him before they left, so why did he bring it up again?
"Brother Ziqian, you..."
"I disagree!"
"I disagree!"
Ji's father and mother answered in unison.
His expression turned somewhat serious.
It's not that they dislike Bai Xiaoruo; she's a very good girl. They've watched her grow up since she was little, and they trust her completely.
However, just a few months ago, the news of Bai Xiaoruo and Xian Mingyu's marriage was still widely discussed, and their intimate photos almost filled the headlines.
Not long after, their son actually got together with Xiaoruo and even proposed to get engaged, which completely shocked them.
That foolish son! No matter what, we can't take on this kind of situation!
Xiao Ruo is a good person, but she is a married woman after all. Their son is so outstanding, how could they marry such a wife!
Ji Ziqian was puzzled that his parents would disagree with his engagement to Bai Xiaoruo. They clearly liked Xiaoruo very much, and every time they came to visit, even if they didn't like to talk to Bai Xiaofu, they still felt sorry for Bai Xiaoruo. So why did they disagree with this?
"Dad, Mom, why is this? What are you doing to Xiao Ruo..." Ji's mother pulled Ji Ziqian aside. "Ziqian, listen to me. From childhood to adulthood, I have always supported whatever decision you make, but this is absolutely unacceptable, and there's no room for discussion. You should break up with Xiao Ruo as soon as possible. If you two can still be good friends, your father and I will welcome her to visit us as well."
