After escaping from the hospital, Bai Peiluan called Ye Junqing, who had just arrived in R city. Her voice was full of anxiety. âSon, is Xingguangâs mother named Bai Lanwu?â
Ye Junqing was relaxed in his speeding car, lazily stretching his legs. âThatâs right, Mom. Have you and Dad arrived at the hospital? Propose the engagement today, so the next time you see them, you can directly propose marriage.â
Bai Peiluan was in a dilemma. âSon, can we postpone the marriage proposal? Your future father-in-lawâs health hasnât recovered, right? We can talk about it when he gets better. We canât rush these things.â
Ye Junqingâs right eyelid started twitching.
He held the phone away and glanced at Xiao Yun. âDo you know why my right eyelid is twitching?â
Xiao Yun responded promptly: âBoss, the left eye jumping suggests coming wealth, while the right eye jumping indicates disaster.â
Ye Junqing rubbed his brow and resumed his conversation. âWhy not hurry, Mom? You really like Xingguang, donât you? Donât you want to call her your daughter-in-law as soon as possible? And arenât you eager to hold your grandson? Today you and dad should discuss this with her parents.â
Bai Peiluan felt helpless. Of course, she hoped to marry Xingguang as soon as possible, but who could have imagined Xingguang was Bai Lanwuâs daughter? How could such a coincidence happen?
Wasnât it said that Xingguang was just an ordinary fishermanâs daughter? Bai Peiluan was at a loss and didnât know what to do.
She couldnât possibly tell her son, âSon, Iâm scared to meet Xingguangâs mother. What if I hire someone to play your mother and propose the marriage for you?â
Isnât it popular now to hire a boyfriend or girlfriend to meet oneâs parents? So hiring a mother should be no problem, right?
âSon, Iâm not feeling well today, so I wonât go see Xingguangâs parents. You should explain it to Xingguang later. I do like her, son. This call is expensive, Iâm going to hang up.â
Ye Junqing: â!!!â
Does our family lack the money for a phone call?!
What the hell is Mom thinking?
Once, Mom didnât like Xiaoyuwei, so she didnât want to meet Xingguangâs mother, Ye Junqing could understand that. Now Xiaoyuwei has won Momâs heart, and she still refuses to propose, Ye Junqing clenched his fist, feeling frustrated but having nowhere to vent.
After a moment of thought, Ye Junqing dialed his dadâs number.
Ye Baixiu said over the phone: âXingguangâs father is Song Chuanqi, not Ye?â
Ye Junqing explained: âSheâs an adopted daughter, not her fatherâs biological child. Dad, you should propose the marriage today, my happiness depends on you.â
But right now, all Ye Baixiu wanted to say was: âSon, Iâm afraid I canât help with your future happiness. Youâd better keep being a bachelor.â
Ye Baixiu had a headache. âThis is the thing, Junqing. Your motherâs not feeling well today, so weâre going home. However, donât worry. Iâve asked the other guys to visit Xingguangâs parents. As for the proposal, we should play it by ear.â
âDad! Donât tell me you donât want to propose!â Even if Ye Junqing were a fool, he would have understood his parentsâ intentions!
He said angrily, âDo you and Mom not want Xingguang as your daughter-in-law? Do you want me to be single for life? Iâm telling you, I donât want anyone but Xingguang!â
âNonsense! How could your mother and I not like Xingguang? My phone is running out of battery. Letâs talk when youâre back from your business trip!â
