Chapter 433
After escaping from the hospital, Bai Peiluan called Ye Junqing, who had just arrived in R city. Her voice was full of anxiety. “Son, is Xingguang’s mother named Bai Lanwu?”noveldrama
Ye Junqing was relaxed in his speeding car, lazily stretching his legs. “That’s 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.”
Bai Peiluan was in a dilemma. “Son, can we postpone the marriage proposal? Your future father-in-law’s health hasn’t recovered, right? We can talk about it when he gets better. We can’t rush these things.”
Ye Junqing’s right eyelid started twitching.
He held the phone away and glanced at Xiao Yun. “Do you know why my right eyelid is twitching?”
Xiao Yun responded promptly: “Boss, the left eye jumping suggests coming wealth, while the right eye jumping indicates disaster.”
Ye Junqing rubbed his brow and resumed his conversation. “Why not hurry, Mom? You really like Xingguang, don’t you? Don’t you want to call her your daughter-in-law as soon as possible? And aren’t you eager to hold your grandson? Today you and dad should discuss this with her parents.”
Bai Peiluan felt helpless. Of course, she hoped to marry Xingguang as soon as possible, but who could have imagined Xingguang was Bai Lanwu’s daughter? How could such a coincidence happen?
Wasn’t it said that Xingguang was just an ordinary fisherman’s daughter? Bai Peiluan was at a loss and didn’t know what to do.
She couldn’t possibly tell her son, “Son, I’m scared to meet Xingguang’s mother. What if I hire someone to play your mother and propose the marriage for you?”
Isn’t it popular now to hire a boyfriend or girlfriend to meet one’s parents? So hiring a mother should be no problem, right?
“Son, I’m not feeling well today, so I won’t go see Xingguang’s parents. You should explain it to Xingguang later. I do like her, son. This call is expensive, I’m going to hang up.”
Ye Junqing: “!!!”
Does our family lack the money for a phone call?!
What the hell is Mom thinking?
Once, Mom didn’t like Xiaoyuwei, so she didn’t want to meet Xingguang’s mother, Ye Junqing could understand that. Now Xiaoyuwei has won Mom’s 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 dad’s number.
Ye Baixiu said over the phone: “Xingguang’s father is Song Chuanqi, not Ye?”
Ye Junqing explained: “She’s an adopted daughter, not her father’s biological child. Dad, you should propose the marriage today, my happiness depends on you.”
But right now, all Ye Baixiu wanted to say was: “Son, I’m afraid I can’t help with your future happiness. You’d better keep being a bachelor.”
Ye Baixiu had a headache. “This is the thing, Junqing. Your mother’s not feeling well today, so we’re going home. However, don’t worry. I’ve asked the other guys to visit Xingguang’s parents. As for the proposal, we should play it by ear.”
“Dad! Don’t tell me you don’t want to propose!” Even if Ye Junqing were a fool, he would have understood his parents’ intentions!
He said angrily, “Do you and Mom not want Xingguang as your daughter-in-law? Do you want me to be single for life? I’m telling you, I don’t want anyone but Xingguang!”
“Nonsense! How could your mother and I not like Xingguang? My phone is running out of battery. Let’s talk when you’re back from your business trip!”
