48: Chapter 48: I have a Woman to Marry_1 48: Chapter 48: I have a Woman to Marry_1 After having breakfast with his grandfather, Lu Yinchu went to work.
His grandfather looked after him with thoughtful eyes, whispering secretively.
Xia Zhen, watching from the side, frowned in confusion.
What was going on with these two?
They seemed like they were hiding something!
As Xia Zhen saw her son out, she pulled him aside at the door and asked, âWhat were you and your grandfather talking about this morning?
Heâs been smiling non-stop.
Something good happened?â
âThis is itâ¦â Lu Yinchu began in a deep tone, speaking nonchalantly, ââ¦
I told my grandfather, I have found a woman I can marry!â
âWhat?â Xia Zhen stammered, stunned.
A woman he could marry?
Oh my goodness, they were already at the stage of discussing marriage.
That meant he mustâve been dating her for a while now.
As a mother, she felt embarrassed at not being aware of this at all!
It was clear that her son had been remarkably good at keeping secrets!
Just in case, Xia Zhen still asked, âYinchu, are you telling me the truth?â
Lu Yinchuâs eyes were as clear as ever, but the corners of his mouth were already showing a faint smile.
With such a gesture, Xia Zhen felt reassured, prompting her to ask, âBring her home when you have time so that your mother can meet her.
I trust your judgement!â
Lu Yinchu nodded, âSure, Mom!â
Hesitating for a moment, he added, âBut letâs keep this a secret for now.
Donât tell Dad.
Sheâs much younger than me and quite timid.
I donât want to scare her!â
Xia Zhen was wearing a wide smile on her face.
âDonât worry, I know my limits!â
â¦
On the 12th of May, Nanxi received a call from Li Weihuan informing her that heâd booked his flight.
He was due to arrive in H City early on the 15th.
Nanxi asked, âDo you want me to get up early to pick you up?â
Li Weihuan laughed, âEven though I want to see you the moment my plane lands, I donât want you dozing off and yawning in front of me!â
Nanxi was annoyed.
Nanxi proved the old adage true that people who sleep a lot are very blessed.
Hence, her precious daughter must be very blessed too!
However, during those periods when she was all alone and couldnât find her family, Nanxi would shed tears whenever she thought about her motherâs words.
If she were truly blessed, why would she have to undergo such hardships?
Therefore, others canât determine if youâre blessed.
You must insist on finding your own path until the day comes when you can look back and realise youâre blessed!
Li Weihuan said, âOnce I get home and pack my things, Iâll come to see you immediately!â
As soon as she heard âgo homeâ, Nanxi didnât insist further, asking, âHave you packed your luggage yet?
Donât forget anything.
Also⦠should we inform Bai Yuchuan ahead of time?
Itâs taking a lot for me to keep this a secret!â
Li Weihuan laughed.
âThereâs no need to keep it a secret anymore.
They already knowâ¦you are such a silly girl!â
Nanxi: ââ¦â
She was angry and wanted to hang up the phone, but thinking about them being separated by half a globe, she took a deep breath and said, âEnough about this, I have some writing to catch up on!â
Li Weihuan didnât want to disturb her anymore and said, âNanxi, see you in three days!â before hanging up.
On May 13th, from the moment Nanxi woke up at six in the morning, she was torn between regret and helplessness.
Today was Han Baobaoâs brotherâs birthdayâ¦
Nanxi struggled in bed until half past eight.
Eventually, she was forced to get up by Han Baobaoâs phone call.
Han Baobao asked, âWould you like my brother to pick you up?â
Nanxi declined, âNo thank you, Iâll take a taxi.
Just text me the address!â
As soon as Nanxi left the dormitory, it suddenly clicked: Han Baobaoâs brother was a friend of Lu Yinchu.
So Lu Yinchu would be at the birthday party too, right?
With this thought, Nanxi came to a sudden stop.
She was intimidated by the thought!
Nanxi dawdled around the campus, attempting to buy herself some time.
She wanted to call Han Baobao and say she couldnât make it, but recalling how important this was for Han Baobaoâs future studies, she didnât want her trivial fears to jeopardize Han Baobaoâs grand plansâ¦
In the end, she steeled herself and decided to goâ¦
On the way, Nanxi calmed herself down: after all, Lu Yinchu already knew that she was roommates with Han Baobao, so there was nothing odd if they ran into each other.
And if Lu Yinchu considered her friendship with Han Baobao and conceded on their uncleâs partâ¦
At this thought, Nanxi felt nervous.
She felt as if she was betraying Han Baobaoâ¦
The location Han Baobao mentioned was quite far away.
Adding the traffic delay, the taxi ride took over half an hour.
They finally arrived at a luxurious star-rated hotelâ¦
Seeing the luxurious cars gathered at the hotel entrance and the place abundant with flowers, Nanxi felt conflicted.
She had originally thought it would be a normal birthday party, who would have expectedâ¦
And compared to the two women dressed in evening gowns who just got out of their car not far away, her clothes, which she thought were her best, were too awkwardâ¦
Nanxi regretted and wanted to stay in the car and not come out.
Just at this moment, a girl in a cute pink dress ran out from the hotel.
Looking closely, wasnât that Han Baobao?
Nanxi quickly picked up her phone to call Han Baobao, who answered immediately-
âBaobao, I suddenly remembered that Iâ¦â
âAh, Nanxi, I see you!
Is that your taxi?
Come on outâ¦â
After Han Baobao finished talking, she hung up and ran towards Nanxi.
Nanxi: ââ¦â
Her vision was too good!
Han Baobao knocked on her car window.
Nanxi managed to squeeze a faint smile, opening the car window awkwardly.
âNanxi, youâre finally here.
Hereâ¦â
Without finishing her sentence, Han Baobao stuffed a bag into Nanxiâs armsâ¦
Nanxi was startled, what is this�
Han Baobao: âI knew you wouldnât be prepared for this, so Iâve everything ready for you.
I guarantee itâs your size.
Come with me, Iâll take you to changeâ¦
get out of the car quickly!â
â¦This made her feel even more embarrassed!
What Han Baobao gave her was a light blue dress.
After putting it on, just as Han Baobao said, the size was a perfect fit and the color matched her very well.
The dress beautifully wrapped around her body, showing a perfect mix of playful, cute, and a bit coquettish charisma.
This made Han Baobao, who was standing by her side, speechless!
âOh my gosh, Nanxi, youâve got quite a body there!â
ââ¦â Feeling awkward, she didnât know what to say.
After the other two people in the changing room left, Nanxi finally put her arm around Han Baobao and asked in a low voice, âAbout this dressâ¦â
Han Baobao frowned, âWhatâs wrong?
Isnât it pretty?â
Nanxi shook her head, âItâs pretty, butâ¦â It looked expensive!
Nanxi thought, she hadnât graduated yet, her salary for the next half year might be spent on this dress!
