Rebirth: At the beginning, the cool school beauty was caught stealing in the supermarket

Chapter 799 Shouldn't we find a time to get engaged?
"From now on, I'll only support Aunt Su." Bai Qingxia tiptoed and whispered in Lu Yuanqiu's ear.

Lu Yuanqiu leaned close to her ear and whispered, "I've never sided with my dad, and I certainly won't now. I'm different from him. I'm only capable of loving one person in my life. I won't even look at other women."

As the warm breath left her ear, Bai Qingxia slowly glanced at him sideways and saw Lu Yuanqiu's white teeth. He smiled smugly and brightly.

Bai Qingxia instinctively suppressed the corners of her mouth.

"What about you?"

Amidst the background noise of arguing, Lu Yuanqiu shamelessly lowered his head and quickly asked her a question.

Bai Qingxia turned her face back with her ears reddening, scratching her fair cheek with her fingers, completely unable to say such cheesy words.

Seeing Bai Songzhe's troubled expression, Lu Yuanqiu quickly turned around and went over to separate his arguing parents. Lu Tian quietly pointed at Bai Songzhe and said to his wife with a smile, "Let's talk about it when we get home, let's talk about it when we get home. Old Bai has finally calmed down..."

He pointed at Bai Qingxia and his son, then winked at Su Xiaoya. Lu Yuanqiu coughed, pretending not to understand, but Su Xiaoya understood. She gritted her teeth and glared at her husband: "This isn't over. You have to explain this to me when you get back."

"sure."

Lu Yuanqiu returned to Bai Qingxia's side, and Lu Tian and Su Xiaoya also stopped fighting and walked to the bedside one after the other.

Bai Songzhe looked at Su Xiaoya: "Perhaps I remembered wrong. I guess the old man didn't know about your affairs, which is why he made this arrangement."

"It's alright, let's skip that for now. I mainly came to see you today. Our two families should have taken some time to have a meal together a long time ago," Su Xiaoya said with a smile.

"Uh." Bai Songzhe's gaze swept over Lu Yuanqiu and Bai Qingxia, and then he heard Lu Tian say, "Can he be discharged from the hospital? He should be fine. Let's make some arrangements. Our two families can have lunch together today to celebrate with Lao Bai."

After speaking, Lu Tian turned back and smiled at Zhang Ru, as if he had long regarded Zhang Ru as Bai Qingxia's mother.

"Ah..." Zhang Ru didn't know what to say, so she could only nod in agreement.

Bai Songzhe: "Yes, it's time to have a proper meal. Thank you for taking care of Xia over the past few years. I'm fine and can be discharged from the hospital. I should be able to remember the things I forgot during this time."

Bai Qingxia walked to the side and helped him stand up. Bai Songzhe smiled and told his daughter that he was perfectly normal. He was very tall, and his demeanor after returning to normal had been completely transformed. Even the crow's feet at the corners of his eyes were full of stories on his face. Compared to him, Zheng Yifeng's modeling was barely on par, but he still lacked a lot of the charm that a mature man should have. In this respect, Bai Songzhe was simply invincible.

In fact, Lu Yuanqiu understood Aunt Zhang. Who could stay looking at that face every day without getting confused?
He smiled and said to everyone, "I'm going to take care of some paperwork and then book a restaurant."

"Stop eating! Your stomach isn't full!" Lu Yuanqiu reached out and stopped his third sister, who was about to open the other fruit baskets.

Lu Douqing withdrew her hands and pouted, looking aggrieved.

Hotel box.

Bai Qingxia and Zhang Ru sat on either side of Bai Songzhe. Considering that the father and daughter might have a lot to say, Lu Yuanqiu also sat next to his parents. Lu Douqing was between the two families.

During this period, my third sister was "abandoned" by her family and seemed to have become a homeless child who relied on the kindness of others. While the two families were talking, she sat there alone, unpacking the tableware.

"Go report to the authorities with Xiao Qiu this afternoon, I'm fine," Bai Songzhe said to his daughter.

Bai Qingxia nodded, then linked her arm with her father's. As if remembering something, she happily rested her head on her father's shoulder with a sweet smile on her face.

“My Xiaxia, you’ve grown up so fast.” Bai Songzhe smiled and pressed his cheek against Bai Qingxia’s head.

"What are you standing there for? The tea has been served for so long, pour some tea for your Uncle Bai! You're almost at the age to be getting married, and you're still so clueless," Lu Tianchao scolded Lu Yuanqiu.

"Finally, I've found a chance to hint at this to her father..." Lu Yuanqiu picked up the teapot and retorted inwardly. Lu Tian's voice made the father and daughter who were whispering across from him look up.

Bai Qingxia sat up straight, feeling a little embarrassed at the thought of the "marriage proposal" she had prepared for her father in collaboration with Lu Yuanqiu's family. She lowered her eyes to unpack the tableware, while Bai Songzhe smiled faintly, slowly interlaced his fingers, and nodded to Lu Yuanqiu, who came over to pour him tea, to express his gratitude.

Lu Yuanqiu: "It's nothing."

"How long have you two been together?" Bai Songzhe picked up his cup, took a sip, and asked the two of them with a normal expression.

Under the table, Lu Tian kicked Lu Yuanqiu's foot.

Lu Yuanqiu quickly replied, "352.5 days."

The couple looked straight ahead, and after hearing their son's response, they looked like they wanted to laugh but were trying hard to suppress it.

"Ahem." Bai Songzhe coughed, and Bai Qingxia quickly handed him a tissue. Out of the corner of her eye, she glanced at the person opposite her. Bai Songzhe wiped his mouth and repeated, "1.5?"

Lu Yuanqiu smiled and said, "We're only halfway through the day."

“Ah, you’re quite thoughtful,” Bai Songzhe replied.

Lu Yuanqiu responded seriously: "It's a very important thing to me, so I take it very seriously."

Bai Qingxia smiled and pursed her lips.

Bai Songzhe asked curiously, "Where are you at now?"

Lu Yuanqiu was taken aback: "Huh? We're...we..."

He felt like he had misheard, but wasn't that exactly what the question meant? Lu Yuanqiu looked at Bai Qingxia, and Bai Qingxia looked at him as well; both of them were frozen in place.

Zhang Ru remembered something and looked at Lu Douqing.

Seemingly sensing the awkward atmosphere, Bai Songzhe suddenly realized what was happening and quickly raised his hand, saying, "My... I mean, are you engaged? While I was sick..."

Holy crap, if you hadn't corrected me, I almost blurted it out! Uncle Bai, you really are something else (removes glasses in exasperation)
Lu Yuanqiu looked as uncomfortable as if he had eaten shit. Fortunately, he was smart this time and didn't rush to answer. Bai Qingxia, on the other hand, blushed and played with the water stains on the table with her fingers, her chest heaving as she breathed a sigh of relief.

Lu Tian: "No, we're not engaged yet. I was thinking we should wait until you've fully recovered before we talk about it."

The implication is... shouldn't we find a time to get engaged now?

Bai Songzhe nodded, of course he understood what he meant. His feelings were actually quite complicated. He felt like he had just woken up, but he had to give up his whole world.

He had no objection to entrusting Lu Yuanqiu to someone, and he was also aware that the two were in love, but Bai Songzhe always felt that things were progressing too fast.

He said his daughter had grown up, but in his heart, she was just someone who had untied her twin ponytails; nothing else had changed.

He hasn't even properly made amends to his daughter yet, and he's already going to marry her off...?

"Yes, we can find some time to hold an engagement ceremony for the two children." Bai Songzhe smiled, holding Bai Qingxia's hands tightly under the table.

Bai Qingxia silently looked at her father's profile.
