Three Hundred and Twelve Marriage Matters (Four)

"If you pick a date for your wedding, when do you want it?" Bai Yeqing asked along the topic.

Xia Xingchen looked up at his profile. She knew that he was asking herself seriously, not as a joke, let alone coaxing her.

Talking about marriage with him, she still felt a little fast, a little unreal. However, she couldn't say no at all.

She thought, since when did she want to marry him so much? To marry this man who has a bad temper, is quite difficult to get along with, and is domineering and narcissistic.

"Why are you in a daze?" Bai Yeqing didn't hear the answer, and squeezed her fingers.

She recovered and answered his words, "If you really want to get married, you have to wait until the next year. The Chinese New Year is coming soon."

She still hasn't forgotten what Bai Suye said last time. The current situation is that the two of them are really openly married, which is really not good for his image. Anyway, if they really want to get married, they are not in a hurry.

Bai Yeqing pursed his lips, as if deep in thought, but didn't say anything.

At this moment, the mobile phone he put aside suddenly rang, it was a private number.

Xia Xingchen helped him pick it up, and he asked, "Whose phone is it?"

"Old lady."

Bai Yeqing nodded slightly, "Listen for me."

"ah?"

"Listen." Bai Yeqing showed no hesitation, holding the steering wheel firmly with both hands, and his eyes fell on the road ahead, "I'm not suitable for answering the phone on the highway. Besides... you will be mother-in-law and daughter-in-law in the future, so there will always be more Get in touch."

Speaking of the last sentence, his interested eyes fell on her face.

Oops.

Xia Xingchen blushed and planned to ignore him. Just turn on the phone and stick it to your ear.

"Hi, Yeqing." The old lady's voice came from the other side.

Xia Xingchen straightened his body, even now, he was still somewhat uncomfortable. After coughing lightly, he said, "Madam, I am Xingchen."

Bai Yeqing looked sideways at her, only to see that her whole body was tense,

Holding the mobile phone in one hand and pressing the other on her knee, her tense fingers can see through her nervousness at this moment. He found it funny and cute, and couldn't help saying: "Relax, the old lady doesn't eat people."

His voice was not lowered at all, and the old lady listened to it. He only said to Xingchen: "That's right, don't be nervous, that kid Yeqing is right, I don't eat people."

"..." Xia Xingchen quietly glared at Bai Yeqing, and said hastily, "Madam, Yeqing is driving now, can you tell me anything?"

"It's a business."

Xia Xingchen looked at Bai Yeqing inquiringly, lowered his voice, "It's business."

Just about to press the speakerphone, the old lady continued: "It's about our Bai family, and it's the same as you said."

"Huh?" Xia Xingchen was stunned for a moment. In the next second, it was heard. What the old lady said was that she really regarded herself as her own. It's not like the attitude I had with myself on the phone at first.

Her tense body also relaxed a lot, "Then you tell me, and I will convey it to you."

"His uncle will officially come out tomorrow, and our family will go to greet him at that time. In the evening, the family will have dinner together. Xingchen, you bring Dabai back together. Let uncle take a good look at Dabai, and also look at you. Future daughter-in-law."

Xia Xingchen was very happy to be invited by the old lady. On such a formal and grand occasion, the old lady really didn't treat herself as an outsider. But, old man...

"If I go on this occasion, I'm afraid-->>

The old man is going to be unhappy. "

"What are you afraid of him doing? Besides, he also looks a bit fierce. You must remember to have Yeqing with us..."

Halfway through Xia Xingchen's words, the phone was suddenly taken away.

She turns her head.

Bai Yeqing held the steering wheel with one hand and the phone with the other, his eyes fell on the front, and he said: "The stars are not free tomorrow night, I will bring Dabai over."

Xia Xingchen was stunned for a moment. She's free tomorrow night.

The old lady was also taken aback.

Then, he scolded, "What's not free? She said no time, what are you talking about? Besides, don't you want to marry her? You have to bring her back to show your uncle."

Bai Yeqing's hand holding the phone tightened a bit.

Xia Xingchen looked sideways, and could see the knuckles of his five fingers, which were faintly whitish. After a long time, I only heard him say: "I'm not afraid that there will be no chance in the future. Let's do this first, I'll die."

Without giving the old lady another chance to speak, Bai Yeqing hung up the phone directly and threw it aside.

Xia Xingchen glanced sideways at him, then turned his gaze out of the window. Some embarrassment. In fact, she didn't say that she had to attend tomorrow's occasion. If her family went, she might not feel comfortable. However, being rejected by him for no reason like this, I still feel somewhat lost in my heart.

He doesn't want to take himself back? Did her performance last time dissatisfy him?

Xia Xingchen wanted to ask, but the depression in her chest made her unable to ask. She was also afraid that the answer would embarrass herself.

so……

All the way back, the two of them had nothing to say.

In the carriage, the atmosphere was a little depressed. Bai Yeqing actually didn't ask her a single word.

At the service station, he parked the car. Xia Dabai woke up and said he was going to pee, Xia Xingchen let him go alone. The two of them sat in the car, as if they couldn't stand the atmosphere at last, Xia Xingchen opened the car door and said, "I'll go down and get some air."

After speaking, I want to get out of the car.

He reached out and grabbed her hand that was about to take off the seat belt.

She turned her head and didn't look at him, just looked at his hand. Use a little force to break free.

"Are you angry?" After a few hours, he finally spoke. The big palm held her hand tightly.

Xia Xingchen was taken aback, his eyelashes drooped slightly, and he only said, "...No."

Even though he said that, his tone was muffled.

He looked at her fixedly, "Because I refused tomorrow's dinner for you?"

"No."

Bai Yeqing didn't speak, just stared at her inquiringly.

She didn't break away from his hand, just met his gaze, and asked without concealment: "Did you not be satisfied with my performance when I went to your house last time?"

He rubbed the back of her hand with his long fingers, "Don't think about it. It's just that my uncle just got out of prison and he is alone, but we have three generations under one roof. I'm afraid he will be hurt by the scene. So, after a while, I'll let you meet again when I get a chance."

His words are completely reasonable. Hearing his explanation, Xia Xingchen felt much more at ease, and the awkwardness just now disappeared. He just nodded and said: "Your uncle is also a poor man. Then... haven't you been investigating the matter of your wife's daughter? Is it your uncle's child?"

Bai Yeqing gave her a hard look, and Xia Xingchen felt a little baffled by that look. After a while, he said: "This matter is over now, and there will be no further investigations in the future. You don't have to worry about it anymore."
