Chapter 621: Chapter 622: The Main Forces Return Home

Perhaps it was because this was the city where Luo Qinghe was born and raised, Bai Wei now found it exceptionally endearing. This feeling intensified after her return, making everything she saw feel particularly close to her heart.

When passing by a restaurant, Bai Wei excitedly pointed to the now-open establishment and said, "I’ve eaten here before, the food is pretty good."

Luo Qinghe followed her pointing hand and looked over, smiling. "You’ve got quite an eye, this belongs to the Li Family. If you want to eat here, you can, anytime, free of charge."

His words turned Bai Wei’s face beet red. She really wished she could crawl into a hole and hide. She had meant to share a nice dining spot, never expecting to unwittingly play the expert in the presence of its owner.

Meanwhile, Luo Qinghe continued, "Xiaohan, since you like this place, how about we choose this hotel for our engagement? It’s also a five-star hotel."

Bai Wei’s face flushed even more. She poked Luo Qinghe’s waist and murmured, "You can decide."

The next second, both of them were laughing together, extra sticky sweet, almost like conjoined twins.

Bai Wei shuddered at their side, full of disdain. "Bai Wei, couldn’t you be a little more demure? You’re a girl, okay? Don’t make everyone think you’re the one eager to get married."

"But..." Bai Wei turned her head with an innocent look at her mother. "Mom, have you forgotten? I went through so much trouble to chase down Luo Qinghe."

Having grown up in M Country, Bai Wei’s lifestyle was hugely influenced by her surroundings there. She liked what she liked, disliked what she didn’t, and her clarity of feeling often made her seem unapproachable.

She was used to being straightforward, and even now that Luo Qinghe doted on her, she still didn’t shy away from talking about the lengths she went to chase after him.

To Bai Wei, the fact that she successfully won Luo Qinghe was a source of pride, and what mattered most was that he proposed on his own, which to her felt like reaching the pinnacle of her life.

However, just because she felt this way didn’t mean Bai Qian did too. Bai Qian had received a very systematic education from China, and deep down, she believed that a girl should be reserved, subtle, and graceful, gentle even if not clad in a Cheongsam.

Unfortunately for her, her child only met her expectations in terms of gender; nothing else about Bai Wei was what Bai Qian had hoped for.

For instance, Bai Qian had envisioned Bai Wei as a proper lady, but Bai Wei grew up climbing trees and raiding bird nests with the boys, her nature utterly devoid of any hint of "proper lady"; and while Bai Qian hoped Bai Wei would be talented in many ways, her daughter blundered through countless classes without mastering any skill worth showing off.

Furthermore, Bai Qian hoped for Bai Wei to marry someone like Fu Xingbo, who could provide for his family and shelter his wife and daughter from hardships, never being an absent figure at home, and always finding time for them no matter how busy.

But Luo Qinghe was vastly different from Fu Xingbo, from his appearance to his soul, exuding the wild, indomitable spirit of a stallion no ordinary person could tame.

The most crucial point was that there were almost no similarities between Luo Qinghe and Fu Xingbo.

Nevertheless, Bai Qian wasn’t overly sad about these things. She was open-minded: as long as Bai Wei liked the person, and he genuinely liked Bai Wei and treated her well, Bai Qian could accept him.

Thinking this way, Bai Qian reached out and gently stroked Bai Wei’s hair, sadness tinged in her eyes. "In just over ten days, it’s your engagement, and before that, you still have a few days of filming left. Can you manage the time? Maybe take some leave, let them shoot the other scenes first?"

"Not possible!" Bai Wei shifted and rested her head on Bai Qian’s shoulder, whining a bit, "Do you think filming a movie is that simple? All the prep work is ready, and right before shooting starts, if the lead actress isn’t there, the daily losses will be huge. And..."

At this point, Bai Wei leaned in and whispered something in Bai Qian’s ear, to which Bai Qian asked with surprise, "Is that true?"

"Of course it’s true," Bai Wei boasted, shaking her head confidently. "How could I dare to lie to you about something like this? If it were someone else’s film, taking a leave wouldn’t matter too much, but it’s his film, and it wouldn’t be right for me to lead by taking leave, would it?"

Bai Qian nodded solemnly, "Then just work hard, and just take a day off for the engagement ceremony."

"Mom, you’re the best." Bai Wei wrapped her arms around Bai Qian’s neck and planted a firm kiss on her mother’s cheek.

Fu Xingbo, who sat in the passenger seat, had been silent the whole time until, after covering some distance, he suddenly spoke up, "This is Huating No.1, right?"

His words caused everyone in the car to look outside the window, but unfortunately, with many tall buildings in City A, most looking quite similar, they had already missed the entrance to the complex. None of them were familiar with the area, or rather, not familiar with Huating No.1, so they couldn’t answer Fu Xingbo’s question.

But Fu Xingbo wasn’t really expecting a response. He shifted his gaze away from the window, his expression calm as he said, "A few days ago, we video called Xiaohan. She said she couldn’t stay at home for now, but since we live so close, we could have her come home for meals every day."

"Right," Bai Qian agreed immediately, "When we were in M Country, it took quite an effort for me to fatten Xiaohan up a bit. I hope she hasn’t lost weight when we see her next, He Xing should be taking good care of her."

Bai Wei didn’t want to join the conversation, but she couldn’t help herself and finally spoke up, "Um, Mom and Dad, you know about Ji Liangchuan, right? And Fu Han was injured and hospitalized. She’s the type who’d lose weight after staying up late for one night, so she’ll definitely lose weight this time, too."

"As if you know so much," Bai Qian flicked Bai Wei’s forehead with her finger and sighed to herself, "Fu Han really is... a life full of hardships."

Bai Wei initially wanted to scream out loud, but upon hearing these words, she choked back her outburst and started to feel sorry for Fu Han.

The initially cheerful atmosphere in the car instantly quieted down as everyone exchanged glances in silence, all recalling the domestic news they had seen over the past few days as well as the messages from Fu Xingbo’s staff in China.

Even though they were in M Country, they still kept up with news from home, such as how Ji Liangchuan had been making grandiose public confessions to Fu Han every day during the Spring Festival, causing quite a stir.

And though Fu Han tried her best to keep it a secret, someone had informed Fu Xingbo and the rest, making her secrecy futile, nothing more than an attempt to hide in plain sight.
