Their feelings for each other had never wavered until now.
Once, Luo Qingli asked her father out of curiosity, why he spoils her mother so much.
Luo Nanyang's response was quite matter-of-fact: "Your mother is my wife, it's natural that I spoil her. When I married your mother, I promised to take good care of her for the rest of our lives.
As a man, I need to live up to my words."
"Here, Xiaoli, you have one too." But this time, he didn't pass it, he flung it instead.
Luckily, Luo Qingli had been practicing martial arts from a young age so she was able to catch the apple with such force and speed from her father.
However, "Dad, why didn't you peel mine?"
"If you want to eat a peeled apple, go find yourself a husband." That was Zhao Wanru's response.
Speaking of that, Zhao Wanru's name and personality are not well matched.
"Xiaoli, your mom is right. You're already this old and you haven't had a boyfriend yet. It's really embarrassing," said Luo Nanyang in agreement with his wife.
Luo Qingli became unsettled, the little flame in her heart ignited, burning vigorously.
"I tell you, I'm going to marry myself off tomorrow." She was originally contemplating whether to marry the handsome uncle tomorrow.
Now, she has figured it out, one word: marry.
"Ah! Xiaoli, why are you doing this to yourself?" Luo Nanyang sighed and walked into the bedroom.
Just as Luo Qingli thought he realized he might have spoken too harshly and went in to reflect, Luo Nanyang walked out again, holding something in his hand.
"Xiaoli, this is our family's household register. I give it to you; remember to cross out your name tomorrow. Dad will book a banquet at a five-star hotel for you to celebrate your marriage."
Luo Qingli opened her mouth wide in surprise, finding it hard to believe. She became teary-eyed immediately.
This stirred her fighting spirit. Standing on the sofa, Luo Qingli declared, "Alright, you just wait for my triumphant return!"
"We don't want a son-in-law who's all over the shop." After finishing an apple, Zhao Wanru accurately tossed the core into the trash bin.
"Rest assured! The husband I bring back will definitely dazzle you. Humph!" Snatching the household register, Luo Qingli bit into her apple as she walked into her own room.
Lying in bed tossing and turning, Luo Qingli started to regret her words.
Why did she have to say she would marry herself off?
Isn't it lovely to stay at home?
Though her parents are a bit brutal, they have never mistreated her!
It's so late and yet handsome uncle didn't call to check on her, maybe he has forgotten about her.
"Ah! So annoying!" Luo Qingli buried her head in her blanket, forcing herself to stop thinking about these messy things.
That is, if matters of lifelong significance are also classified as messy things.
The next day.
Because she had stayed up late, Luo Qingli slept until ten in the morning.
Until her phone rang.
Groping sleepily to pick up her phone from the bedside table, she mumbled groggily, "Hello…"
"If you've decided to come with me to the civil affairs bureau, send me your address. I'll come pick you up." Gu Yuying turned a page in today's work plan, which was already full.
"Handsome uncle?" On hearing Gu Yuying's voice, Luo Qingli sat up abruptly.
All her sleepiness disappeared in an instant.
