Yun Qiao felt that she might have never heard more romantic words in her life.
Her fingers gently stroked his cheek: "I want to marry you too."
As soon as she said those words, she felt the difference.
She couldn't explain why: her expression was not as heavy and affectionate as Xi Lanting's.
His words seemed to hide countless past events and expectations, and they were so intense that they made you feel intoxicated.
Xi Lanting kissed her again: "What do you think about getting married early?"
"good."
She agreed, feeling extremely sweet in her heart, but she couldn't help but ask, "When will we get married?"
"You are more anxious than me." Xi Lanting laughed.
Yun Qiao: "..."
Marriage is a big deal, so why not rush it? She has never been confused and moved forward with the tide.
She has very clear needs.
She wanted to have Xi Lan Ting more than anything else.
He is the most beautiful thing in the world that fascinates her.
Yun Qiao didn't feel rushed or anxious. Her heart was already filled with him, and she was just waiting for a marriage certificate.
"I originally planned to celebrate the Dragon Boat Festival next year." Xi Lanting gently rubbed her fingers, "Since you and I can't wait, how about the first month of next year?"
"Okay." Yun Qiao said.
Xi Lanting added: "What do you want as a betrothal gift? Also, how do you plan to organize the wedding?"
"I don't want anything as a betrothal gift. You can give it as you wish. As long as I have you, it's enough. As for the wedding, it will follow the old customs of the Xi family. I have no special requirements." Yun Qiao said.
Xi Lanting: "What a talkative bride."
The word bride not only sounds sweet, but also sounds warm.
Yun Qiao buried her head in his arms and hugged his waist.
The two of them sat there for a while, until Yun Qiao got hungry and then got up to have dinner.
During dinner, the two did not discuss the topic of marriage.
It seems that after walking out of the bed, talking about this topic seems very casual.
It's already half past ten in the evening. It's said to be dinner, but it's actually a midnight snack.
So there is a small wonton with fish soup.
While Yun Qiao was eating, he chatted with Xi Lanting about explosives.
"...I, Xu Yinjie, and Jiang Yanjin have summarized what we have learned, and we all agree that this matter is directed at the Department of Medicine, rather than personal grudges." Yun Qiao said.
Xi Lanting: "It's really not a personal grudge."
"Do you know the inside story?"
"Not long ago, the Japanese Charge d'Affaires in China and the French Charge d'Affaires in China protested that the land of the Department of Medicine should be classified as a public concession instead of being sold to me," Silentin said.
Yun Qiao: "It's them again!"
"Internal news is that Japan plans to assist in building a British-Japanese joint venture of Western medicine and two hospitals. It is discussing the land issue with the French agent in China and plans to build it in the French Concession," Xi Lanting added.
The silver spoon in Yun Qiao's hand was almost bent out of shape.
Therefore, the Western Medicine Department organized by Xi Lanting blocked other people's way.
If the Japanese charge d'affaires in China wants to build a school, he cannot be as willful as Xi Lanting and just build it as he says.
They can't figure out the funding alone at once.
"...So, their plan was actually relatively early, but you got there first before it was formed?" Yun Qiao asked.
Xi Lanting: "It's just a guess, I will call people's attention."
"It's probably difficult to find out."
She was a little discouraged.
If you really block someone's way, you will probably be harassed continuously in the future.
Xi Lanting gently touched her head: "Leave it to me. You study hard. As long as you are willing to study hard, you will not let me down."
Yun Qiao laughed.
She was terribly worried last night, but now she felt refreshed.
She suddenly thought of something and said to Xi Lanting: "Uncle Qi, wait a minute. I'll go back and get something for you. I'll be back soon."
She put down her chopsticks and ran away without waiting for Xi Lanting to answer.
