Chapter 8 - Engagement

Even though Lu Youyou had an answer now, and that was because Fang Yichu had recognized her as the person who had saved him in Jiang City a year ago, she recalled Fang Yichu's handsome face and bottomless dark pupils as he silently handed her a warm towel.

Lu Youyou blushed and panicked. It was such a pity that such a gentleman was disabled!

Seeing that his daughter's face became redder, Lu Qisheng picked up the ginger soup again. "It's a little spicy, but it can ward off the cold and warm your body. Baby, drink it. After drinking it, sleep with your head covered. It will definitely be useful."

Lu Youyou immediately wailed. "Why do I still have to drink it?"

"Be good and listen to Daddy. Drink it."

"I don't want to!"

Sun Xiangyi ignored the conversation between the father and daughter and was about to get the fever medicine when she heard her phone ring in her pocket. She took it out and turned to the father and daughter. "It's Jiao Yuebai!"

Lu Youyou was instantly nervous.

Lu Qisheng's face darkened. "Answer it!"

Sun Xiangyi clicked on the speaker-phone and said, "Yuebai?"

"Sister Sun!" Jiao Yuebai sounded very excited. "Fourth Son has just agreed to marry your daughter. My husband said that he's going to the Lu family to give the betrothal gifts the day after tomorrow. He even asked Miss Lu to come over for dinner this weekend so that they can get to know each other better."

Sun Xiangyi was stunned. What was wrong with this Fang Yichu? What was he thinking? There were so many coincidences. With the situation that he's in, how could he agree so easily?

Could it be that it didn't matter to him whether he married Lu Youyou or not? He also thought that this was a marriage in name only? In that case, that's great!

Lu Qisheng's eyes lit up. Sun Xiangyi understood and said into the phone. "That's great. I'll get Youyou to free up her weekend!"

"That's great. It's settled then. I'll get the driver to pick up Miss Lu!"

"Alright!" Sun Xiangyi said. "By the way, I wonder if Fang Yichu has any special hobbies? And for Old Master Fang, does he have any special hobbies other than drinking Peace Monkey?"

Since the two families had decided to link up through marriage, the Lu family naturally had to be polite.

"I don't really know about the Fourth Son's likes and dislikes. I don't think my husband knows either. You guys can do as you please. We're all family. It's fine!" Jiao Yuebai didn't give Sun Xiangyi a chance to continue speaking and said, "My husband called for me. If there's anything, we can talk about it tomorrow when we play mahjong!"

"Good." Sun Xiangyi nodded.

And so the call ended.

Sun Xiangyi's fever medicine worked better than Lu Qisheng's ginger soup in curing Lu Youyou of her cold. She laid in the soft bed with her eyes closed, but she was not sleepy at all. He had agreed to marry her. But why? It's impossible that he would be completely unaware of what's happening.

The more Lu Youyou thought about it, the angrier she got. In the end, she sat up, grabbed her phone, and sent a message.

Fang Yichu was sitting in his room in his house then, writing something when a message bell rang. He raised his eyebrows in surprise as he considered the remote possibility and chuckled.

It was an unknown number. 'Why?'

He knew that it was Lu Youyou. Fang Yichu did not reply and saved the unfamiliar number into his phone. The countless dilemma and heaviness in his heart seemed to have disappeared because of her message.

The Fang family officially came to the Lu family to send betrothal gifts on Friday. From the speed at which the Fang family sent the betrothal gifts, it could be seen how much they valued this business marriage.

On the day of the betrothal, Fang De came with Jiao Yuebai, but Lu Youyou and Fang Yichu did not come.

The Fang family was very generous when welcoming a daughter-in-law to the family. From jewelry to property rights.

Lu Qisheng and his wife had expected betrothal gifts. Back then, when the Eldest Young Master, Fang Xuyan, got married, the betrothal gifts were 50 shops. When the Second Young Master, Fang Shenggang, got married, the betrothal gifts were also 50 shops.

However, they did not expect that the total asset value of Fang Yichu's betrothal gifts would be multiplied several times.

Under the sincere marriage proposal of the Fang family and the well-mannered reception of the Lu family, Fang Yichu and Lu Youyou's marriage was decided. Their engagement ceremony would be on September 9th in midsummer and they would get married on November 11th in autumn.

Weekend.

The buzzing of insects outside gave Lu Youyou a headache. She pouted and continued to sleep.

At this moment, someone hurriedly knocked on Lu Youyou's door.

"Yoyo!" It was Sun Xiangyi's voice. "Get up! The Fang family's car is here!"

Thinking of Fang Yichu's deep eyes, Lu Youyou sat up quickly. She was still angry that he did not reply to her message that day. Even if he understood that the two of them were engaged in a business marriage, there was no need to ignore her like that, right? Did Fang Yichu think that she, Lu Youyou, wanted to marry him that badly?

Sun Xiangyi was really worried about her daughter. She took out a light red dress for her. "Wear this…"
