Chapter 483: Chapter 483: The Friendship of Women

In less than two minutes, Bai Qian came down from upstairs, indeed holding a white cashmere shawl in her hand. From a distance, the shawl seemed to glow, a faint white halo surrounding it.

As Bai Qian helped Luo Qiluo put on the shawl, she started laughing, "I’ve tried on this shawl, but I’ve gained some weight recently, and it doesn’t look good on me."

Once Luo Qiluo had the shawl on, Bai Qian looked her up and down and sincerely said, "You’re tall and slim, this shawl really suits you."

Every woman likes to be complimented, especially when the one praising you is the rival in your heart.

Her words pleased Luo Qiluo greatly, and she too smiled, "Is there a mirror? I want to see how it looks."

The two middle-aged women walked side by side toward the full-length mirror, while the remaining four people all looked on in astonishment, almost doubting whether the sun had risen from the west, as a scene they never dared to dream of was actually unfolding.

Among the four, Fu Xingbo was the calmest, looking as if the scene before him was perfectly normal; Li Huazhi was the most shocked, his eyes widened as if he’d seen something unbelievable; Bai Wei and Luo Qinghe were the happiest, as they were the ones who could easily accept this turn of events without any mental preparation.

The friendship and hatred between women can come so suddenly, perhaps because of a single sentence, or a kind gesture, love can turn to hate, and hate can also turn into love.

Several minutes later, Bai Qian and Luo Qiluo came out chatting and laughing. Compared to when they left, it seemed their relationship had become much more harmonious.

What followed went more smoothly than Bai Wei and Luo Qinghe could have imagined. In contrast to the tense first meeting of the parents in A City, this time both sets of parents were super cooperative.

The engagement day was set for February 14th, Valentine’s Day; their wedding day was fixed on May 1st, Labour Day.

As for the bride price, which worries many young couples, Bai Qian and Luo Qiluo reached a high-level agreement, Bai Wei and Luo Qinghe would neither give nor receive a bride price or dowry.

The parents on both sides promised that Bai Wei’s parents would provide them with two villas and two apartments in M Country as real estate; Luo Qinghe’s parents would provide two villas and two apartments in A City as real estate, and all eight properties would be registered in both their names.

When it came to buying the houses, it was especially amusing. Bai Qian joked that with eight properties, even if they had no income in the future, they wouldn’t starve; Luo Qiluo expressed strong agreement.

Although Bai Wei and Luo Qinghe felt that with their abilities they would never lack an income and support themselves, they naturally wouldn’t be foolish enough to refuse free properties, so they just laughed heartily, thick-skinned enough to filter out any unpleasant words.

The four elders talked more and more congenially, discussing that Bai Wei and the rest should at least have two children, one taking Bai Wei’s surname and the other taking Luo Qinghe’s; and if they were willing to have four, they could also have one child surnamed Fu and another surnamed Li.

These were topics of their second conversation about the matter. Luo Qinghe was quite composed, simply saying that having children was a matter of fate.

Bai Wei, on the other hand, almost couldn’t help rolling her eyes and said bluntly, "Are you treating me like a breeding pig?"

As a result, Bai Qian teased her, "If you were a pig, you could have given birth to more than four at once."

Lunchtime soon arrived, and Fu Xingbo had arranged for them to dine at a hotel, which also allowed for Li Huazhi and Luo Qiluo’s belongings to be placed there, so they could rest in the hotel in the afternoon.

In the afternoon, when Fu Han finally had time to send a message to Bai Wei to inquire about the situation, she had been present at the last parental meeting in A City and knew how unpleasant it had been, which was why she was so worried now.

After receiving Bai Wei’s reply, Fu Han finally felt at ease, and after closing the shop in the afternoon, she said goodbye to Su Cheng and went straight home.

When Fu Han came back, Luo Qiluo and Li Huazhi had not yet come from the hotel, Luo Qinghe had gone to pick them up, while Bai Wei was pretending to help in the kitchen.

"Wow, I didn’t realize you could cook," commented Fu Han, leaning against the doorframe, looking at Bai Wei, who was cutting vegetables in the kitchen, with a teasing smile.

Bai Wei’s beautiful face flushed, and she glared at Fu Han, though her eyes lacked any deterrence, "You just know how to make snide remarks here, why don’t you come and help me?"

But before she finished speaking, Bai Qian slapped her on the behind, "Xiaohan has been so busy at the shop today, she should rest when she gets home, and you’re asking her for help?"

As she spoke, Bai Qian cleaned and handed a white porcelain cup to Fu Han, "This is the Honey Grapefruit Tea I prepared for you, have a sip to warm up, and dinner will be ready soon."

A wave of warmth surged in Fu Han’s heart, and she agreed before taking the cup outside.

Humans are social animals, and if one were to list the most blissful moments in life, returning home to a hot meal and warm tea after a day’s work would undeniably be among them.

Fu Han had only drunk half of her Honey Grapefruit Tea when Bai Wei showed up in the living room, curious, "Weren’t you helping Auntie in the kitchen?"

Bai Wei plopped down beside Fu Han, glancing at the warm tea in her hands, "Can I have a sip?"

"Can’t you pour yourself another cup?" Fu Han asked, somewhat disdainfully.

"I would love to, but my mom only made one cup, and none for me," Bai Wei complained, her face scrunching up like a flower.

Since Fu Xingbo’s career took off, Bai Qian has been content to be a full-time housewife, but unlike other housewives, she didn’t spend her days shopping. Instead, she chose to learn various things.

Cooking, tea ceremony, pastries, painting, music, poetry recitation.

While Bai Wei hopped between art classes as a child, Bai Qian learned even more, and even better than Bai Wei.

Always progressing, never content with standing still.

Perhaps this was why time was kinder to Bai Qian; she hadn’t undergone any cosmetic procedures, just routine skincare, yet she eventually turned out to be much more beautiful than many ladies who spent their days in beauty salons.

Bai Qian’s tea ceremony skills were highly cultivated. Her Honey Grapefruit Tea was quite different from ordinary versions, with many ingredients not typically found in grapefruit tea, giving it an exceptional flavor. It was the tastiest Honey Grapefruit Tea Fu Han had ever had.

So when Bai Wei said Bai Qian hadn’t made much, Fu Han believed it; she had once seen Bai Qian making lemon grapefruit tea with great care and effort.

"Don’t drink it all, I still want some," Fu Han warned as she passed the cup over, reminding her to save some.
