Chapter 804: Fu Li Confess Xiao Rao Engagement
An Rao watched An Lin and Yu Qian leave and frowned tightly. “Bo Xiao, what do you think is the relationship between An Lin and Wei Zimu?”
Bo Xiao lay on the sofa. “The relationship between a sugar daddy and sugar baby. Otherwise, do you think that your sister can be so charming that she can settle the young master of the Wei family?”
“…” An Rao had to admit that although Bo Xiao’s mouth was quite poisonous, what he said made sense. She knew that the Wei family was really a rich family. Forgive me, but I really could not tell what was outstanding about An Lin that could make the young master of the Wei family bow down.
“Then tell me, should I call my mother and tell them?” An Rao hated to call Father An and Mother An, but she felt that if she did not tell them about this, in the future, if something happened, Mother An might blame her.
“Go ahead and also tell your parents not to go out this weekend. I’m going to ask for your hand in marriage.” Bo Xiao lay on the sofa and crossed his legs, looking like a playboy.
An Rao kicked him angrily. “Why ask for my hand? You didn’t even propose.”
She felt that Bo Xiao was really full of tricks. He suddenly said that he wanted to ask for her hand in marriage.
“Let’s settle it early so that your parents won’t cause trouble again.” Bo Xiao had already considered asking for her hand for a long time, but he had not told An Rao about it.
“Alright.” An Rao sat beside Bo Xiao and began to call Mother An.
“Hello, An Rao, you evil creature. How dare you call me?!” Just as the call connected, Mother An’s scolding rushed out of the phone.
Even though An Rao did not turn on the speaker, Mother An’s voice was so loud that Bo Xiao could hear her clearly.
This made Bo Xiao angry. He snatched the phone away. “Shut up.”
The dignity that Bo Xiao had accumulated from training his subordinates all year round also played a role at this moment, successfully stopping Mother An, who was cursing.
“On the 6th of next month, An Rao and I are getting engaged. If you come, I’ll arrange seats for you. It’s fine if you don’t come. Anyway, you don’t treat An Rao as a daughter.”Updates by ReadNovelFull.com
With that, Bo Xiao hung up the phone.
“Didn’t you say you were going to ask for my hand?” An Rao was used to Mother An’s scolding. She did not react, but she saw that Bo Xiao was very angry.
“No, your parents really don’t deserve us to go over. When the time comes, if they’re willing to come over, I’ll arrange seats for them. If they’re not willing, then forget it. If you don’t mind, the wife of the old leader liked you very much last time. She’s very willing to be our witness.”
Bo Xiao was not angry at Mother An’s attitude. His heart ached for An Rao. How could a mother be like this?
“Okay.” An Rao had long given up on Father An and Mother An. She had no objections to Bo Xiao’s arrangements.
“Let’s go and pick a dress. I’ll buy you whatever you like.” Bo Xiao, who had looked resistant just now, took the initiative to pull An Rao to shop. He was afraid that An Rao would be unhappy because of Mother An.
Mother An was stunned by Bo Xiao’s roar for no reason. She only reacted after hanging up the phone.
When Father An returned at night, Mother An told him about the situation. Father An was furious.
“Oh my god! Does she think that she’s amazing for finding a lousy officer? She’s not even going home?”
Ning Yi City was a place where traditional Confucian culture flourished and people were very particular about family status. An Rao’s act of privately getting engaged to someone without the family’s approval clearly challenged Father An’s authority.
“This, look at Bo Xiao’s news. I think An Rao was deceived by him. How can a playboy like him marry her? If word gets out, others will poke our backs and scold us for using unscrupulous means to climb up for our status.”
Mother An’s words poked at Father An. To an extremely chauvinistic person, he was most afraid of others gossiping about him behind his back.
“When is their engagement?” Father An was so angry that he forgot the date.
“Six.”
“Go and buy tickets. Let’s go to Beijing and also see if Lin’er is doing well.”
“Okay.” An Lin had never left Mother An for so long. Mother An missed her too, so she bought the plane tickets immediately.

“Alright, I’m full. Your skills are too good. I feel that I’ve gained a lot of weight recently.” Fu Li drank the lotus root pork ribs soup fed by Tang Yin and narrowed his eyes in satisfaction.
“It’s nothing. Tell me what you want to eat later.”
“Okay.” Looking at Tang Yin busying herself, Fu Li had mixed feelings. He subconsciously called out, “Ah Yin.”
“Huh?” Tang Yin turned around. The years did not leave any mark on her face. She was still the woman in his memory who had made him fall in love in the children’s garden.
“It’s nothing.” Fu Li smiled.
Tang Yin went out to get water, leaving Fu Li alone in the ward.
At that moment, the smile on his face disappeared and his eyes were filled with deep worry.
He admitted that he was extremely happy when he hugged Tang Yin for the first time that night. His long-cherished wish had come true in a day. That joy was something he had never experienced in so many years.
However, after the huge excitement, there was huge panic.
In the past few days, Tang Yin had been too good to him, so good that she was no longer the Tang Yin of the past.
No matter what request he made, Tang Yin agreed to it one by one.
Fu Li felt that even if he suggested wanting Tang Yin at night now, Tang Yin would still shower and lie in front of him without a change in expression.
He felt that he was too despicable. He used Tang Yin’s guilt towards him to gain Tang Yin’s gentleness. For a moment, he felt that he was as cruel as Liu Xingchuan.
He did not want to steal joy and happiness like this.
It was time to wake up from this dream.
He did not dare to face Tang Yin directly, so he wanted to write a letter to her. He searched the ground and looked up by the window, only to see Liu Xingchuan and Tang Yin standing in the garden downstairs.
Although he could not hear what they were saying, from the way they spoke, they were chatting extremely happily. When Liu Xingchuan left, he even touched Tang Yin’s head.
By the time Tang Yin returned to the ward, Fu Li was already asleep. Tang Yin walked over and tucked him in. Then, she took the lunch box and prepared to go home to make some food for Fu Li.
However, when she finished preparing the lotus root pork ribs that Fu Li liked to eat and pushed open the ward door, she saw only a letter.
Tang Yin held the letter and sat on the bed. She read it until the food in the thermal box had turned cold, before she carried the box and walked out of the hospital. There was no special expression the entire time. One could not tell if she was happy or sad, as if Fu Li was just a stranger to her.
After Tang Yin left, a figure walked out of the ward and stood extremely bleakly.
He stayed here only to see Tang Yin’s reaction. Now, it seemed that it was time to really give up.
