Chapter 169 - 170: Marriage Matters (1)
Young Master Qin led Lou Xi, who had just been fed, downstairs. They took the elevator reserved for the president, so they weren’t worried about being seen.
The car was heading... not in the direction Lou Xi was familiar with.
"Young Master Qin, where are you taking me?" Lou Xi looked at the unfamiliar road, feeling puzzled.
But she was just curious, definitely not worried that Young Master Qin would sell her!
"I mentioned before, we should find a time to visit your parents. Today, we’ll go to my house first." Qin Mobai said casually, as if he were talking about what to have for dinner.
But for Lou Xi, this was like... a bolt from the blue!
No, no, that adjective doesn’t seem quite right.
Anyway, Lou Xi just felt very shocked and stunned, not feeling well at all.
After reflecting for two seconds, Lou Xi weakly asked, "Young Master Qin, are you serious? There’s still time to back out now!"
Qin Mobai took the opportunity while driving to turn his head and look at Lou Xi with a "whoever backs out is a puppy" expression.
But Qin Mobai said, "Lou Xi, I’m serious about this."
"What thing..." Lou Xi’s thoughts were completely out of line now, and she didn’t want to think, just wondered how she could escape meeting Qin Mobai’s family.
"This marriage thing with you." Qin Mobai’s suddenly lowered voice sounded even more serious, leaving Lou Xi momentarily unsure how to respond to Qin Mobai.
When a man seriously talks to you about marriage, especially a man like Qin Mobai, how can you refuse?
Besides, Lou Xi wasn’t planning to refuse either. Qin Mobai is so good, if she refused, she’d be crazy!
"Oh no! Young Master Qin, if I go to your house, I haven’t even bought gifts for your grandparents! Also, look at what I’m wearing today, it doesn’t seem formal enough, I’m afraid your grandparents might think I’m disrespectful!" This wasn’t Lou Xi making excuses, but truly, she didn’t want to meet his grandparents in an imperfect way.
"Just meet them as your true self, there’s no need to dress up deliberately. As for the gift, there’s one in the trunk, you can take it later."
Young Master Qin was really fully prepared, leaving no room for Lou Xi to say no!
This is like... forcing a duck onto a perch?
"Young Master Qin, don’t you think getting married now is a bit too early?"
"Not early." Qin Mobai said seriously, "We’ll get the certificate first, and when you graduate we’ll have the wedding. Once you’ve had your fun, two years should be enough, we’ll have a child at twenty-four. If it’s a son, we’ll have a daughter too. Hmm, I don’t like sons, if it’s a daughter, then we won’t need another. Having children young makes recovery quicker. If you don’t want to care for the child, a maid can help. Whatever you want to do, I’ll support it."
It sounded like Qin Mobai had already planned Lou Xi’s future.
But Lou Xi herself didn’t even know whether to find a job after her senior year or to apply for graduate school. She wasn’t someone with long-term plans.
Though listening to Qin Mobai’s plan for her future didn’t sound bad, somehow... Lou Xi felt that such a life would be somewhat dull.
"Young Master Qin, have you planned every step?" Lou Xi tentatively asked.
Qin Mobai replied, "I have plans for a future with you in it, what about yours?"
Qin Mobai’s question really caught Lou Xi off guard.
