Chapter 164: Chapter 132: Seeing Zhou Family Members Again_6

Once eloquent, Lin Baohe had now become as tight-lipped as a clam, smiling awkwardly, completely at a loss for what to say.

He was also annoyed with himself. Yesterday, he had felt certain that Regimental Commander Zhou was sincere towards his daughter. But someone’s words had made him doubt his judgment.

His daughter was so pretty, so sensible. It was only natural that the Commander would like her.

As a father doting on his daughter, he now thought that Zhou Mikang marrying his daughter was a completely problem-free match.

Of course, his peace of mind didn’t mean everyone else was at ease.

"Regimental Commander Zhou, what do you see in our Chuxia?" Li Aiyuan smiled sheepishly, "It’s not that I mean to be nosy, but neither Yulan nor Baohe would ever ask such a question, so I’ll say it for them."

Zhou Mikang pondered for a moment before saying, "Well, I can’t pinpoint it exactly. It just felt right, I suppose, and besides, both my father and mother really like her."

"Really?" Zhao Yulan excitedly stood up, "Xiao Zhou, did you say your parents also like our Chuxia?"

"Yes, mom, they really like Chuxia."

"That’s wonderful. I’ve been so worried that your family wouldn’t approve of Chuxia."

"..."

Listening to their chatter, Chuxia rolled her eyes in secret. When did her parents become so fond of her? To them, as long as he was fond of any girl, they would like her!

With their worries gone, the group set out with Zhou Mikang for a half-day tour.

As noon approached, Zhou Mikang brought everyone to the Zhou Family Courtyard.

Her status differed this time as they entered the Courtyard, and Chuxia felt her heart leap into her throat.

Following this visit, her engagement to Zhou Mikang would be completely set in stone. Both families would meet, set a date, and everything after would seemingly fall into place naturally, wouldn’t it?

Early this morning, fueled by excitement that her speculation had been unfounded, no one questioned the delay in her having children. She hadn’t dared to ask, so now she worried if the marriage went as expected, would having children naturally follow?

Given Zhou Mikang’s age, it was right about time to have a child.

But with him, that...

Just the thought was hard for her to accept. Without love, how could she possibly...?

Zhao Yulan and Lin Baohe, as well as Zhao Yushan and Li Aiyuan, were just as anxious as Chuxia.

On their way here, they hadn’t felt much. Yet, upon seeing soldiers armed to the teeth standing at the entrance, their legs started to shake.

Though ordinary civilians, they knew homes guarded by soldiers weren’t for average people.

Especially Zhao Yushan, who had served as a secretary for so many years, knew very well about the trappings of officials. Upon seeing the gate guard, his mind went blank.

He thought that they should be overjoyed that such a family was willing to marry Chuxia. And yet, they had seriously interrogated Zhou Mikang for so long—how ludicrous...

What did marriage or having children matter? Were these their rungs to climb? Now that they had climbed them, they should just grin and bear it, instead of worrying about this and that...

While Zhao Yushan was struggling with his thoughts, the car stopped in front of a standalone villa.

At the same time, a large group of people emerged from the villa.

Still dazed, Zhao Yulan, Lin Baohe, Zhao Yushan, and Li Aiyuan sat in the Zhou family’s main hall, laughing foolishly, apparently unsure of how else to behave.

As for who introduced them, sorry, not a single name stuck.

With her elders not quite up to the task, Chuxia tried to quell her panic by smiling blankly at everyone—after all, she didn’t know what to say now that things had changed.

Even with the whole family in a frenzy, the Zhou family members weren’t flustered. Seeing how the elders were acting, they immediately understood that these were just a bunch of honest folks.

As for satisfaction, did they even have a choice?

When tea was served, Lin Yanqiu hurriedly offered, "In-laws, please have some tea. You must be tired from the journey, right?"

"Not tired at all," Zhao Yulan replied nervously, standing suddenly. Accidentally, her sleeve swept a teacup off the table, sending it spinning across the tabletop before it hit the floor.
