Chapter 679: Chapter 679: Finally Legitimate and Established by Name

Everyone had almost finished chatting, and it was time for the most important moment. Eldest Brother Lu and his wife opened the engagement gifts, which included 1666 Yuan in cash, courtesy of Lu Xinyi, the father.

There was also a passbook given by Old Master Gu, but it wasn’t opened publicly; inside the box, there was also a property ownership certificate for an apartment and two sets of jewelry.

This betrothal gift was truly an eye-opener—not your average family’s betrothal gift of just two hundred yuan, or five hundred for well-off families. Lu Yichen’s grand gesture was beyond what the Luo Family had expected.

Luo Daoren spoke up, "Isn’t this a bit too much?"

Old Master Gu said, "Not at all, Yichen is in a special situation. That cash was prepared by his father for the betrothal, and the passbook is from me. Yichen is not only a son of the Lu Family but also a part of my Gu family."

Everyone knew about this, but they didn’t expect Old Master Gu to say it out loud in front of everyone.

Everyone thought Lu Xinyi would be unhappy, but instead he said, "This fulfills the wishes of Yichen’s mother and maternal grandmother and is something I agree with, too. I hope our in-laws can understand."

Haotian said, "As long as she has a good life in the future, I believe Qiaoqiao won’t have any objections."

Old Master Gu smiled and said, "Their future marriage will be held in the Gu family, whether they live with the Gu family afterwards or move out to have their world of two is up to them."

Luo Qiao laughed and said, "Grandpa, you’re getting ahead of yourself; the wedding is still a long way off."

Old Master Gu laughed heartily, "I’m just making my stance clear, you shouldn’t feel any pressure."

Everyone in the room laughed along.

The lunch was extremely lavish, and the wine was home-brewed by Luo Qiao in her own space, which she had previously taken home. Today, Luo Daoren, in high spirits, brought out the good wine.

He said that it was better to be merry together than alone, and today, they would not rest until they had all had their fill.

Then today was a hard day for Lu Yichen as he had six elder maternal uncles and one younger, plus five older male cousins and a younger one, as well as a cousin-in-law, topped with six brothers from the Yuan Family taking turns forcing him to drink.

They also egged him on to make a public declaration of affection. Lu Yichen then knelt on one knee in front of everyone, and Yuan Jianing and Luo Jiayue somehow brought in a bouquet from outside, handing it to Lu Yichen.

Lu Yichen, taking advantage of the moment to express his devotion, said to Luo Qiao, "Qiaoqiao, I want to hold your hand and grow old with you, so when the days of old age come, you will still be the treasure in the palm of my hand."

Everyone was moved, eyes of the women turning red, Luo Qiao smiled radiantly and said, "Okay, then let’s grow old together slowly."

Yuan Jianing enviously said, "How wonderful."

After Lu Yichen had been loaded with drinks, Luo Daoren asked Luo Qiao to take him upstairs to rest a bit and sober up.

Luo Qiao led him upstairs, and after entering the room she said, "You lie down for a bit, I’ll pour you a glass of honey water."

Just as she was about to turn around, her hand was gripped by Lu Yichen, and before she could react, she was pulled into his embrace: "Qiaoqiao, we are finally engaged."

After a brief pause, Lu Yichen’s magnetic voice came again: "I will be faithful to you all my life until it ends, to cherish you, love you, and protect you forever."

Luo Qiao replied softly, "Okay."

They embraced each other quietly for a long time before Luo Qiao said, "You lie down first, I’ll pour you a cup of honey water."

Lu Yichen obediently lay on Luo Qiao’s bed and, watching her leave, smiled to himself, "It’s great, finally legitimate and with a status."

He thought about the upcoming school term in September when he could introduce his identity to her classmates openly and proudly; he couldn’t help but smile, feeling elated and as if he were floating.

When Luo Qiao came back, she saw Lu Yichen smiling foolishly: "Here, drink the honey water."

After the cup of honey water, Lu Yichen felt his head clear up a bit and thought to himself that this lovingly prepared drink really worked wonders.

Luo Qiao asked, "Do you want to drink another cup?"

Lu Yichen shook his head, "I’m much better now, just keep me company and let’s chat."

Luo Qiao put the cup away and looked at Lu Yichen, "What do you want to talk about? I’m listening."

"Qiaoqiao, I’m thinking of applying for a place in the bureau, so you have somewhere to rest when you come to see me, and when you come over on Sundays, we can also cook at home."

"Sure, cooking I can do, but I’m not touching dishes."

"No problem, as long as I’m at home, I’ll be in charge of washing dishes for a lifetime."

"I heard the family quarters at the Public Security Bureau have washrooms for the dishes; you’re not afraid of being laughed at?"

"I cherish my partner, what business is it of theirs?"

"Then it’s settled; as long as you don’t find it awkward."

After a lively meal, everyone sat down to drink tea and chat to sober up. Both families agreed that Luo Qiao would be married and get her marriage certificate when she turned twenty, given that Lu Yichen was already of a certain age.

The Luo family thought that since the engagement was set, there was no need for further fuss, and they happily agreed.

After Lu Yichen had a short nap, he left with his family, and before departing, he whispered to Luo Qiao, "I’ll call you tonight."
