Chapter 730: Chapter 730
Huo Jingrui and Lu Licheng chatted and drank, and after a bottle of white liquor, both were just flushed.
Yunyi thought to herself, it seems Lu Licheng is not a simple character.
Seeing how he has always taken care of Jia Huan attentively, and Jiayuan’s transition from initial embarrassment to eventual acceptance, there’s no need to ask; it’s clear her future sister-in-law has already developed feelings.
However, Lu Licheng as a man is indeed quite good-looking, and it’s obvious he has long had Jiayuan in mind, with his heart and eyes full of her.
Huo Jingrui swallowed a dumpling and looked at Lu Licheng sitting opposite him: "When are you returning to the team?"
Lu Licheng turned to Jiayuan: "I’ll have to leave soon."
Huo Jingrui put down his chopsticks, opened another bottle of liquor: "Are you going back to Beijing first, or directly to the team?"
Lu Licheng took the bottle from Huo Jingrui, filled his glass: "Directly returning to the team."
Huo Jiayuan said a bit regretfully: "In a few days, my fourth brother and sister-in-law will host a banquet here, and you’ll just miss it."
Lu Licheng smiled at her and said: "No worries, I still have holidays during the New Year; I can attend their wedding banquet in Beijing then."
After eating, Lu Licheng helped tidy up and prepared to leave.
Huo Jingrui didn’t let his sister see him off, and instead went out himself.
The two walked quite a distance before Huo Jingrui spoke: "Have you made up your mind?"
Lu Licheng tossed his cigarette butt to the ground and extinguished it: "Hmm, you know, I’ve always liked Jiayuan, and I don’t want to miss another chance."
Huo Jingrui continued walking without stopping: "You know she’s the youngest in the family; everyone always spoils her. She hadn’t done any household chores before, but this time she came to my place, learned a bit from Grandma Su while taking care of Sister Kailan. You really need to think it through."
Lu Licheng stopped walking: "Jingrui, I’m serious about Jiayuan. You don’t have to test me; I won’t let her suffer even a bit. I learned to cook especially for her, and domestic responsibilities are no issue, so those are not problems at all."
With everything said, Huo Jingrui didn’t want to talk further, and stopped at the gate of the family courtyard.
Meanwhile, Yunyi was discussing Lu Licheng with Huo Jiayuan: "Jiayuan, have you agreed to him?"
Huo Jiayuan said shyly: "I just said to keep an eye on things."
After a while, she continued: "I’m already twenty-one, and it’s obvious what I’ll face when I return to Beijing. Anyway, I’ll have to marry someone eventually. As you said, rather than marrying someone I love, it’s better to marry someone who loves me, so I don’t have to compromise myself.
And being with him is genuinely relaxing; if there are no surprises, then it’s him."
Indeed, in this era, girls who are twenty-one and unmarried are quite rare.
Even if the family isn’t rushing, the outside world’s idle gossip will be relentless.
