Even if they had the money, Mr. and Mrs. Li still had no intention to leave the country. They said that if Li Du missed them, he could return home for a visit.
It was not that the two of them found the idea of an overseas journey troublesome. They simply realized that the amount of money they would spend if both of them went to America would be more than if Li Du journeyed home alone.
Li Du said, "I want to invite both of you to America for two reasons. The first one is to travel and the second one is to meet Sophie. If there is no objection on your part, we want to get engaged."

"Just waiting for me to make the proposal."
