Chapter 616 - Great Grandchildren
Bai Jingrou's thoughts drifted here and there. She watched as Bai Qinghao took considerable care of Fang Xinxin. In contrast, she had just been reprimanded by Bai Chongshan. She instantly lost her appetite.
She wanted to leave the dining table. However, she did not have the courage to do so while the seniors were still present.
After finishing his dinner, Bai Qinghao quietly handed a small, exquisite square box to Fang Xinxin beneath the table.
Fang Xinxin turned to him with wide, shining and confused eyes.
Bai Qinghao leaned close to her. His frozen, cold heart was somewhat apprehensive, yet he appeared cold and indifferent on the surface. He asked lightly. "Will you agree to it?"
Fang Xinxin was confused. "What?"
"The thing I handed to you earlier. Do you agree to accept it?"
"En." She nodded.
Bai Qinghao watched as she nodded. He could not conceal the smile on his face. He then seriously announced. "Since everyone is present, I will announce some good news. There is an auspicious day in two weeks' time. My wedding with Xinxin will be arranged on that day."
"Isn't that too fast?" Bai Jingrou reacted without thinking and was taken aback when she noticed that the elders were looking at her coldly.
Huang Zhishu also understood that her daughter had acted out of line. She rushed to reprimand. "The Bai family's elders haven't even said a word. As a junior, you shouldn't be speaking out of line."
Bai Jingrou's complexion was slightly pale. "Mom, I meant to say that Cousin's wedding is a serious matter. I'm afraid that two weeks won't be enough time to prepare for it."
Fang Xinxin was also dumbstruck.
In their previous life, Bai Qinghao had forcefully brought her to have their marriage registered. He did not announce this matter in front of everyone. Considering her attitude at the time, she guessed that he was probably afraid she would object if he had said it first.
Furthermore, she had also offended the entire Bai family at the time.
In their previous life, they did not even attend the wedding.
The Bai family had thoroughly become a laughing stock.
The thought of it gave her a headache.
Fang Xinxin was dazed for a moment before a hint of joy flashed past her eyes. She looked at Bai Qinghao lovingly before lowering her head shyly.
Ever since her rebirth, she had been waiting to become his wife once more!
Bai Qinghao had been paying attention to her reaction. He saw that she did not become upset and was even clearly happy about this. He held her hand beneath the table tightly in agitation. "I've been preparing for my wedding for a long time. There's no need for outsiders to concern themselves about it."
Bai Jingrou's face was slapped loudly and clearly in front of everyone. She felt humiliated and could only bite her bottom lip silently.
Bai Chongshan expressed his opinion. "Qinghao is already twenty-six this year. Fang Xinxin is also twenty years old now. It's time you both married. It would be best if you gave me my grandchildren soon."
"There's no need for you to worry about that." Bai Qinghao looked at his fiancée lovingly. "Xinxin and I have our own plans."
He did not agree to it in case Xinxin was unwilling to have his children…
At the thought of this possibility, he subconsciously frowned. He then quickly distracted himself from that thought. Perhaps, she would be agreeable to it?
"What do you mean by that?" Bai Chongshan's expression instantly turned cold. "It's only appropriate that you have my great grandchildren soon! Of course, the Bai family has to take its face into consideration. Pregnancy before marriage is not something to boast about. There's only two weeks before the wedding… Even if my future granddaughter-in-law conceived right now, no one would be able to tell if this happened before or after the wedding."
"Grandfather, I'm not pregnant right now." Fang Xinxin spoke shyly. "We'll take up this matter slowly. Of course, if I do conceive, I'll definitely keep the baby."
Bai Chongshan was rather satisfied with this answer and nodded sternly.
Bai Qinghao's frozen heart was overwhelmed with joy. In other words, Xinxin was willing to have his child!
