Chapter 1576: Meeting his parents
The next morning, Lou Ziling left the manor with Jing Xi and went to the airport together.
"Ziling, why don't you sit in the wheelchair? Are your legs alright?"
"I'm going to your house today. How can I be in a wheelchair? It's better to walk to your house on two legs. "
Lou Ziling explained calmly as she held Jing Xi's hand.
Of course, his legs were not fully recovered yet, but he didn't want to sit in a wheelchair anymore. Otherwise, Jing Yichen wouldn't hand Jing Xi over to him if he found out that he had problems with his legs.
"You injured your leg because you were trying to save me. You look so pitiful coming to my house in a wheelchair. Maybe my dad will be too embarrassed to make things difficult for you!"
Lou Ziling smiled. He didn't need to do any favors. It seemed that Jing Xi was also worried that Jing Yichen would make things difficult for him, but he was not afraid.
It was noon when the plane arrived in A city. A long convoy of cars drove from the airport all the way to Jing Xi's house.
"Where did you get so many cars?"
Jing Xi sat in the car and leaned against Lou Ziling. She looked at the long line of cars with curiosity.
"You said you wanted to go home, so I got someone to prepare it overnight in A city. It's my first time going to your house, so I have to be imposing."
Lou Ziling put her arm around Jing Xi's waist and kissed her forehead.""Otherwise, I'm afraid your dad will think I'm too poor."
Jing Xi chuckled. It was true. Jing Yichen had always thought that Lou Ziling's family was too poor.
When they arrived at the Jing family's house, the motorcade stopped by the side of the road. Lou Ziling got out of the car with Jing Xi, held her hand, and walked into the community with her.
Behind them, a few men in suits and leather shoes followed slowly with all kinds of gifts.
It was cold in the middle of winter, and there were still small snowflakes floating in the air.
Lou Ziling stopped, put the hat on Jing Xi's down jacket on her head, and wrapped her furry scarf twice before holding her hand and continuing to walk forward.
Jing Xi was very happy. She stuck close to Lou Ziling and looked up at his handsome face, which had turned white in the cold wind.
"Why aren't you wearing a hat or a scarf?"
"Because ... You won't be handsome if you wear it!"
"I thought you never cared about your image!" Jing Xi laughed.
"I've always been very concerned about my image in front of you. The goal I set for myself is to be as handsome as I can, so that you won't run away with any handsome guy you see!"
Jing Xi stomped her foot in anger.""I've never been with anyone else. They're just ordinary friends. I only want to marry you. I don't want to marry anyone else!"
Lou Ziling patted her head and chuckled."Yes, okay. It's too late to marry someone else now."
Shangguan ning and Jing Yichen were standing side by side in front of the floor-to-ceiling window on the twenty-seventh floor of the landscape compound, looking at the couple who were walking slowly towards them from the square.
Shangguan ning was a little excited,"Yichen, look at how well-matched they are!" Lou Ziling was very considerate. She was afraid that Xixi would catch a cold, so she put a hat on her head! Xixi never liked to wear hats, but now she's finally wearing one!"
Jing Yichen said calmly,"this is the most basic concern. He still needs to be tested." We only have one precious daughter. It won't be easy for Lou Ziling to marry her. "
"Don't test me, I think it's fine! Don't scare your future son-in-law away. You can coax Xixi yourself when she cries later! Look at how much Xixi likes him, and how happy she's smiling. Hurry up and let them get married!"
"If he was so easily scared away, he wouldn't be worthy of my daughter. Xixi is only twenty, what's the rush?"
Shangguan ning thought about it carefully and realized that her daughter seemed to be a little too young. She could understand Jing Yichen's feelings. He had raised his daughter for twenty years and now she was about to get married. She might have to live in city W for the rest of her life and he wouldn't be able to take care of her every day. It would make him feel very sad.
Her eyes slowly turned red and she stopped talking.
Seeing that she was about to cry, Jing Yichen said, "Don't cry. We won't let Xixi get married. We'll let her stay at home and wait at least ten years before she gets married!"
Shangguan ning couldn't cry anymore. She glared at Jing Yichen and said,"What nonsense are you saying? how can you delay Xixi's happiness? It's rare for her to meet someone she really likes. Lou Ziling is not only good-looking, but he also knows how to take care of people. I'm not worried about Xixi following him. It's just ... I can't bear to. "
The doorbell rang, and Jing Xi's clear and melodious voice came from outside.""Dad, mom, I'm back! Quickly open the door!"
Shangguan ning ran to open the door. Jing Xi threw herself into her arms as soon as she opened it. "Mom, I've missed you so much!"
Shangguan ning was also happy,"mom missed you too!" Hurry and come in!"
"Hello, Auntie!" Lou Ziling smiled.
Then he looked at Jing Yichen who was standing behind Shangguan ning."Hello, uncle. I'm here to see you with Xixi!"
Jing Yichen nodded slightly, neither coldly nor warmly.
Fortunately, Lou Ziling had seen him many times and knew that he was usually like this. He was not warm to anyone.
When they entered the living room, Lou Ziling's men put the gifts neatly and left quietly.
The servants served some fruits and hot tea. Jing Xi was chatting with Shangguan ning while drinking the tea. The room was filled with her crisp voice and Shangguan ning's laughter.
Jing Yichen was sitting on the sofa, staring at Lou Ziling.
He didn't talk much, and Lou Ziling didn't talk much either. The two of them just sat there and listened to the two women's conversation.
After a while, Jing Xi said to Jing Yichen,""Dad, how are the preparations for my engagement with Ziling? Are you getting engaged next week?"
"When did I agree to your engagement?" Jing Yichen said calmly.
"Why did you change your mind?" Jing Xi's eyes widened. No, no, I want to get engaged and get married immediately after the engagement!"
"Uncle, please leave Xixi to me. I'll protect her for the rest of her life and never let her suffer."
Lou Ziling patted Jing Xi's hand gently and said to Jing Yichen in a serious tone.
"You can't prove it with words. It depends on your actions in the future. Don't worry about the engagement first. Xixi is only 20 years old. My daughter has been pampered since she was young and is a serious prodigal. If you're penniless, you'd better stay away from her. "
Lou Ziling was not worried, but Jing Xi was.""Dad, when did I squander? I'm already twenty, not young anymore. I should get engaged soon! Are you hoping that I won't be able to get married?"
"My daughter will be able to get married. Even if you grow up to be a pig, you can still get married!"
"If I'm a pig," Jing Xi muttered,"then you're a pig too. Hmph!" Other people marry me because you're rich, but Ziling isn 't!"
Jing Yichen didn't know whether to laugh or cry when his daughter called him a pig.
She even scolded her own father for Lou Ziling!
He just wanted to see Lou Ziling's sincerity. If he really didn't agree with her and Lou Ziling, would he let her go to city W alone? To let Lou Ziling in?
