Chapter 235: In The Future, Youll Be Mrs. Lu (2/2)
They had gotten married today, so she didn’t think that it would be too appropriate to shoot him a supercilious look. Instead, she retrieved a small jewelry box from her bag and opened it to reveal two small rings.
She took the male ring out and then asked, “Mr. Lu, will you marry me?”
The two of them were in the streets, just sitting in a car! What kind of sloppy proposal was this?!
Lu Chenzhou was shocked. “Why do you have this?”
Cheng Xi hesitated. She had bought the rings yesterday because that was when Lu Chenzhou had been upset at her for spending more time with Chen Jiaman than him. But she couldn’t explain all that right now, so Cheng Xi simply changed the topic; she pouted at him and then said, “We’ve already gotten our marriage license. Are you going to back out now?”
“......”
Was he even allowed to bring up the fact that he’d already found someone to design and forge their wedding rings? It crushed him to see all his preparations being swept aside by Cheng Xi’s impetuous actions, but why did he also feel so happy inside?
Despite his happiness, Lu Chenzhou’s face remained covered by a mask of ice. He glanced at the pouting Cheng Xi, extended his hand, and replied, “Alright. Put it on.”
Cheng Xi wanted to rub her forehead at his frigid tone; it almost felt like he was conferring some great favor upon her. Luckily, she knew him well enough to not mind. “Smile for me first.”
Lu Chenzhou did as he was told.
“Yup, you really do seem happy.” Cheng Xi smiled herself, put the ring on his left ring finger, and then leaned forward to kiss him. “You’re now married to me, so you’ll be my Mr. Lu in the future.”
“My Mr. Lu” was a touching and heartwarming moniker, and Lu Chenzhou’s gaze instantly turned warm. He sincerely placed the female ring on her finger, and then, just like she had, he hugged her, kissed her, and then earnestly said, “In the future, you’ll be my Mrs. Lu.”
As he spoke those words, Mr. Lu felt a happiness spread throughout his body, and even his bones felt lighter. When Cheng Xi called home to tell her parents about the news, Lu Chenzhou, in his relaxed state, spontaneously leaned over and called out, “Father.”
That’s right—it was Cheng Xi’s father on the other end.
But the problem was that the call had just connected, and Cheng Xi hadn’t even said anything yet. Lu Chenzhou’s impromptu greeting left Cheng Xi a little dazed, and her father even more so. Cheng Xi’s father hesitated for a moment before doubtfully asking, “Cheng Yang?”
“Ahem.” Cheng Xi returned to her senses, cleared her throat, and said, “No, that was your son-in-law.”
Cheng Xi’s father immediately sat up in shock. !!!!
Quite a lot of people’s minds were crumbling today. Cheng Xi’s father fell silent for quite a while before finally saying, “Is that you, Cheng Xi? What do you mean, ‘son-in-law?’”
Cheng Xi glanced at Lu Chenzhou, who was sitting still with a calm expression on his face, and then replied, “I mean that I’m married now, to Lu Chenzhou. Actually, we just got our marriage license here in Gansu.”
This time, Cheng Xi’s father jumped up in shock. !!!!
After a significant stretch of silence, Cheng Xi heard her father call out to his wife, “Come over here. Why can’t I understand what Cheng Xi’s saying? Can you come talk to her?”
Cheng Xi’s face instantly turned into a 囧.
Regarding her daughter’s marriage, Cheng Xi’s mother was clearly much calmer than her father. When she heard Cheng Xi recount the day’s events, she only asked, “Why did you sign your marriage license there? Are you pregnant?”
“......”
The worst thing was, the ever curious Lu Chenzhou was also listening in, and before Cheng Xi could get a word in, he nodded as he seriously said, “That’s right. We’re planning on having a baby.”
“......”
