With a combination of nervousness and hope, Yan Fei mustered up his courage and knocked on Lin Baoguo's front door.
After a few knocks, someone responded from inside. Fortunately, the person who opened the door wasn't Xiang Rui, but her mother.
The elderly woman was delighted to see Yan Fei and welcomed him with great enthusiasm, chiding him for not visiting more often. Yan Fei chattered on various topics for a while before clarifying his purpose for visiting. Upon hearing his intentions, the elderly woman immediately ran inside to call for Xiang Rui.
It was noon and Xiang Rui was probably putting her child to sleep. She responded after being called a couple of times.
When the elderly woman turned back, she had already agreed to Yan Fei's proposal on behalf of her daughter and reassured him over and again that she would make sure everything was done perfectly.
