Yu Yao turned to look at Lu Ze, her voice beaming, "You agreed?"
She said it was okay just now to save face. Since she had already said that, if Lu Ze still didn't agree, she didn't intend to force him.
She had also decided to go back to Guangdong Province with Grandma Hu and get to know the other members of the Lu family.
Now that Lu Ze has agreed, that's for the best.
Seeing the smile in her eyes, Lu Ze nodded.
"Comrade Lu, please guide me in the future." Yu Yao happily extended her hand.
Her eyebrows curved, and she stared at him confidently, unlike other women of that era who were so shy.
Lu Ze noticed that she had a dimple when she smiled, and the way she tilted her head to look at him was both playful and cute.
He looked away from her face and reached out to shake her hand.
It releases easily with a single grip.
Her hands had a different feel from a man's; they were soft and delicate.
Just as Yu Yao was about to grasp him, Lu Ze had already let go.
I almost forgot, the book says that Lu Ze doesn't like people getting close to him, especially women, and he avoids them like the plague.
From now on, she needs to be careful to avoid physical contact with him.
After all, it wouldn't be good if such a great wedding partner was scared away.
With the problem solved and it almost time, Yu Yao suggested heading back.
She was thinking about how to talk to Grandpa Lu later, and didn't notice that Lu Ze's ears were slightly red.
Hu Lingyu was playing with Tianya in the backyard, her gaze sometimes on Tianya, sometimes tiptoeing and looking in the direction of Baihe River.
I don't know how their conversation went.
Did the youngest son agree or not?
This is driving me crazy!
She could tolerate this rascal before, but if such a good partner runs away now, she'll have to give him the cold shoulder for three months.
Suddenly, Tianya, who was chasing butterflies, pointed to the path in the distance and said, "Grandma, the pretty older sister and uncle are back."
Hu Lingyu looked in the direction she was referring to.
Yu Yao and Lu Ze walked side by side.
Although there was still a meter between them, the atmosphere was clearly no longer tense.
It's as harmonious as the melting of ice and snow in spring; there's a chance.
Yu Yao and Lu Ze also saw the two of them and greeted Hu Lingyu.
Hu Lingyu first looked at her son.
He still had a blank, expressionless face, like someone owed him money; it was impossible to tell whether he had agreed or not.
She then looked at Yu Yao questioningly, asking how their conversation had gone.
Yu Yao nodded slightly to her.
Hu Lingyu's eyes lit up. Had things been accomplished?
"Sister Yu, give me a hug!" Tianya stretched out her hands to Yu Yao.
Hu Lingyu hugged her and laughed, "Sweetie, you can't call me Sister Yu anymore, you have to call me Aunt Yu."
Sweetie twisted away from her arms and threw herself into Yu Yao's arms: "I don't want to, Sister Yu is a pretty sister, I want to call her pretty sister."
Hu Lingyu wasn't bothered at all, her smile widening. "It's alright, we can change how we address each other later. Yu'er, your Grandpa Lu and the others are still waiting for our news inside, let's go in first."
Yu Yao nodded and hugged Tianya tightly.
The little girl is quite heavy; if she were any heavier, she wouldn't be able to hold her.
Lu Ze's voice suddenly rang out: "Let me hold Tianya."
Sweetie also realized that she seemed to be too heavy and was afraid of tiring Sister Yu, so she did not object when Lu Ze carried her.
Hu Lingyu squeezed Tianya's arm, which was as thick as a lotus root: "From now on, you can only eat one kind of peach shortbread and candy every day, and halve the amount of other snacks. If you keep eating like this, you'll get as fat as a little piglet."
Sweetie retorted guiltily, "No way!" and said to Yu Yao, "Sister Yu, Sweetie isn't a little piglet, Sweetie is your sweetheart, beautiful sister."
The way she argued so earnestly really resembled a cute little animal, making Yu Yao unable to suppress a smile.
Inside the main room.
Lu Huiyun and Yu Defu had already returned. Han Fenglan went to prepare dinner to impress everyone, but Yu Honglan was nowhere to be found.
As for Su Ya and Mu Hehe, they took Lu Yunqi to find the barefoot doctor to get medicine.
Lu Yunqi had been kneeling outside since Old Master Lu hadn't spoken.
This pampered young master had never suffered such hardship, not even when he went to the forest farm as an educated youth. Not only was his knee badly bruised, but he also cut himself and bled because he wasn't paying attention to the pebbles while kneeling.
Seeing his wife's hint, Grandpa Lu understood and laughed heartily: "Yu girl is back. Come on, tell Grandpa Lu what you think, and let your dad hear it too."
Han Fenglan had been keeping an eye on the main room from the kitchen. Knowing that Yu Yao had returned, she added a piece of firewood to the stove, put down her things, and came over to listen.
When Grandpa Lu came back earlier, he mentioned that the marriage exchange should be re-selected. Han Fenglan heard this and now wants to know which one Yu Yao chose.
Her gaze fell on Yu Yao and Lu Ze, a hint of doubt flashing in her eyes.
The two seemed much closer now. Although they were still a meter apart, they were exchanging glances and their expressions were different, unlike before when they seemed so unfamiliar with each other.
That little bitch is quite good at sucking up to people; she even knows how to please her elders.
Yu Yao said, "Grandpa Lu, I've thought it through. I agree to the marriage exchange, and I've already chosen the person."
At this point, she glanced at Lu Ze, and Lu Ze also glanced at her.
Han Fenglan's heart skipped a beat, her gaze shifting in disbelief between the two men.
Could it be that Yu Yao chose Lu Ze?
She was startled by the idea and immediately dismissed it.
That's impossible; she must be overthinking it.
Lu Ze is the youngest son of Old Master Lu and the most promising and outstanding man in the Lu family. It is said that he has made numerous merits at a young age and has been entrusted with important responsibilities by his superiors.
The Yu family is already doing well by choosing Yun Qi; how could they possibly be doing well by choosing Lu Ze?
This is beyond what can be achieved with a simple step; it's like comparing heaven and earth, the difference is too great.
