The atmosphere seemed very imposing at the moment. Lu Wei Xi respectfully stood to the side thinking about how she should introduce herself.
She opened her mouth, ready to introduce herself, when Jian Chi who had put away her fruit basket and nutritional supplements, arrived at her side at this moment.
He walked over, pulling her hand along with him as he naturally introduced, “Dad, this is my girlfriend, Lu Wei Xi.”
“Uncle, nice to meet you.”
Lu Wei Xi hurried to introduce herself.
Ye Lan came back from the kitchen with a rosewood teapot and four small and delicate teacups in a tray.
She put the tea set on the table and turned to pull Lu Wei Xi’s hand to sit down, “Child, why are you acting so cautious, sit down.” Then she glanced at her husband before she comfort, “He’s always like this, but in fact, he has the strength of a paper tiger. When he found out that you are coming over today, he specially asked the butler the other day to take out his favorite Chinese tunic suit to iron it so that he could wear it today.”
“Cough, cough, why are you talking about this nonsense,” Afraid that his wife would make him lose more face, Jian An Yi quickly let out a cough at gave her an imposing look.
Lu Wei Xi’s attention is once again back on the tunic Jian An Yi is wearing, her brain in a mess.
What is this situation….paper tiger, does this mean he is easy to get along with?
As if trying to save his face, Jian An Yi turned to get a closer look at Lu Wei Xi and seriously asked, “Young lady, my son is your first relationship?”
“Uh….Jian Chi is my first boyfriend.” Surprised, Lu Wei Xi sat up straight and sincerely answered.
Jian An Yi hasn’t reacted yet when Ye Lan release a surprised gasp, “You’re so beautiful but this is your first time in a relationship?” She complimented and gave Jian Chi an appreciative look, “Son, you have good eyes.”
“That is of course.” When Jian Chi heard his mom compliment his girlfriend sitting next to him, he nodded confidently.
Speechless, Lu Wei Xi stealthily pinches his finger, signaling him to stop talking.
This little action did not escape Jian An Yi’s eyes.
“Since he is your first love and you have no one else to compare him to, how do you know that he is worthy of your entire life?”
Jian An Yi’s second question not only caught Lu Wei Xi off guard but Ye Lan as well.
“Husband, what nonsense are you saying? I understand my own son’s heart very well. Ah Chi is worthy of having a long and happy marriage.” Ye Lan gave Jian An Yi a look of dissatisfaction before she turned to Lu Wei Xi, “Wei Xi, we’re going to be family soon, I won’t refrain from this taboo topic anymore. Ah Chi is going to turn 27 soon. Before, he never mentioned anything about a girlfriend. A few years ago, I was so anxious that I introduced him to a few prospective marriage partners but he didn’t like any of them at all.”
Ye Lan helplessly smiled, “Life is long, if you’re by yourself from beginning to end, it is indeed too lonely.”
When Lu Wei Xi heard this, she felt as if it had happened to herself.
Jian Chi who turned a deaf ear to all this, sat lazily at the side, casually playing with her hair.
“That’s all because of the mess you made. I told you from the get-go that he isn’t looking for one because he doesn’t want to find one. Arranging a match for him isn’t going to change anything. Just like that Xu family’s miss, she would come to our house every day to eat but Jian Chi didn’t even spare her a glance.” Jian An Yi reached out to pick up the freshly brewed cup of tea from the table and took a sip.
Ye Lan wasn’t angry and still responded with a smile, “Aiya, I know I wasn’t right but at that time I was confused by my son. I can’t just stand back and watch as our Jian family lack any male offspring.”
Xu family’s miss…...Xu Qu Qing?
Lu Wei Xi smiled and responded at this time, “I know how Auntie feels. In fact, when we first got together, I always wondered why he likes me. It’s really puzzling.”
Ye Lan lightly laughs, like a hibiscus in full bloom.
Lu Wei Xi secretly released a sigh of relief, feeling that the atmosphere got better than before.
At this time, Jian An Yi put down the teacup ask threw out a question, “Wei Xi, when are you going to marry into out Jian family?”
Lu Wei Xi froze, her eyes widened as if she heard wrong.
That fast? This….is too straightforward QAQ
When Jian Chi saw how frightened she was, he ever so kindly answered this tough question instead, “We already discussed it. After she graduates, we will get our marriage certificate.” He reached out to touch her hair and asked in a pampering tone, “Right, Wei Xi?”
When did they discuss it…..how come she doesn’t know?
Lu Wei Xi stared at him blankly. But because the elders are around and she doesn’t want to embarrass her boyfriend, she could only smile and nod, “Yes, I have already decided to marry Jian Chi.”
This is true.
Besides Jian Chi, there is no other person in this world that she is more than willing to marry.
Jian An Yi looked into her eyes and nodded in satisfaction, “My son is usually a bit cold and doesn’t like to speak much. I hope that you will be more tolerant and take care of him in the future.”
His serious tone made Lu Wei Xi couldn’t help but earnestly respond, “Jian Chi seems to be cold to everyone but he has been really good to me. In fact, in our relationship, he more than often takes care of me, but…..uncle, I can assure you I am bent on cherishing him for the rest of my life. I will do whatever I can for him. I will not give him an opportunity to regret choosing me.”
Lu Wei Xi felt that these moving words are like something from a movie.
However, Jian Chi who was helping her pour tea was a bit dissatisfied with what she said, “Wei Xi, do you think I will regret it?”
Lu Wei Xi turned and give him a look that said to shut up so as to not ruin her perfect confession.
Jian Chi looked down and kept quiet.
During this harmonious time, the butler came in to tell them lunch is ready.
Lu Wei Xi followed Jian Chi to stand up and walked to the garden in the back of the house.
She has to admit, Jian Chi’s parents are a prosperous couple. They even put a dining table in the garden. As Lu Wei Xi walked through the yard, she could see flowers and green grass everywhere. Her nose is invaded with the scent of flowers. It seemed as if her entire person is with one with nature, making her body and mind in a state of peace and comfort.
Intoxicated by the beautiful spring day with the sun shining above her head, it really is a pleasure to dine in such an elegant and beautiful environment.
