Li Du succeeded in earning the praise of Sophie's parents and was accepted as their future son-in-law.
Sophie noticed Li Du's good mood when he returned. Smiling, she held his hand and said, "Mr. Li, seems like you are very pleased."
Li Du said, "More than pleased! I won the liking of my favorite lady's parents. They agreed for their daughter to marry me."
Sophie shrugged her shoulders. "What's so surprising about that? You have a diamond mine."
Li Du wagged his index finger and said, "It's not because of that. It's due to my attitude. I told them that meeting this lady here was the luckiest thing that happened to me in my life. To earn her favor and to fall in love with her is more than I could dream of."
Sophie smiled indulgently. She went over to hug Li Du and said softly, "Then we can get engaged."
