Chapter 1005

"She's here, she's here." Qiu Chu smiled helplessly, raised his finger to point upstairs, his tone carrying some doting, "This child, knowing you were coming today, has been busy since morning, has been upstairs tidying herself up and changing clothes, for fear of neglecting you."

As soon as the words fell, light footsteps were heard on the stairs. Qiu Keying was dressed exquisitely and decently, in a light pink dress, with elegant makeup, and ran down from upstairs with a smile.

As soon as she appeared, she opened her mouth with a sweet voice to call people: "Uncle, Auntie, you are here."

Qiu Keying was undoubtedly the happiest person today. The formal meeting of the parents of both sides indicated that her relationship with Li Xiao was not only stable but also a step closer, which was of extraordinary significance to her who was full of Li Xiao.

Mrs. Li hurriedly walked forward, grabbed Qiu Keying's hand, pulled her to sit by her side, her eyes full of joy, and couldn't stop praising: "Our Keying is really getting more and more beautiful, and her temperament is also good. Mr. Qiu, Mrs. Qiu, you are really good at raising daughters. Such a good girl, it's our Li Xiao who picked up a huge blessing."

Being praised like this, the Qiu Chu couple was naturally happy. Qiu Chu smiled and waved his hand: "You are over-praising. On the contrary, Li Xiao is young and promising, steady and reliable, absolutely a leader among his peers. It is a real blessing for our Keying to meet him."

Both families were straightforward, their hearts were connected, and there was no beating around the bush. Li Wanchang's purpose for coming to the door today was clear, and Qiu Chu was also a smart person, naturally guessing it long ago.

Li Wanchang picked up the tea on the table, took a light sip, put down the teacup, and simply opened the door to see the mountain: "Brother Qiu Chu, you and I have known each other for many years and have been close friends. Whether it is my attitude toward the Qiu family or your attitude toward the Li family, we know each other well."

Saying that, he raised his eyes to look at Li Xiao and Qiu Keying sitting on the side, his eyes softened a bit, his tone earnest: "These two children are also destined, and they have been together for almost two years, and their feelings have always been very good. So I thought, taking advantage of Li Xiao's return this time, he can stay in Longcheng for a few more days, look, do you want the two children to get engaged first? It will also fulfill a wish of our parents on both sides."

As soon as this was said, Qiu Keying was both happy and shy, her spine instantly straightened, and the excitement that was hard to describe surged in her eyes, looking at her father sitting next to her brightly, and even her fingertips quietly clenched the corner of her clothes.

Qiu Chu exchanged a look with his wife, the understanding and smile in his eyes almost overflowing. Without needing to say more, he understood each other's thoughts.

"Brother Wanchang, since you speak so realistically, I won't beat around the bush, and I will express my attitude." Qiu Chu spoke slowly, his gaze turning to Li Xiao, the appreciation in his eyes undisguised, his tone earnest, "This child Li Xiao, I see he is really good, my wife also likes him from the bottom of her heart, and more importantly—our Keying likes him."

"So, regarding the children's affairs, the Qiu family agrees."

Hearing that his father actually agreed so straightforwardly, Qiu Keying's eyes instantly turned red, and she immediately cast a gentle look at Li Xiao.

Li Xiao also looked at her, smiling gently.

At that moment, Qiu Keying only felt that the happiness in her heart was about to overflow, and even her breathing carried sweetness, as if she was about to float up in the next second.

Li Wanchang was instantly overjoyed, and his voice became a bit brighter: "That's great! Li Xiao still has one semester to graduate. We can discuss the marriage from a long-term perspective. Brother, sister-in-law, you can rest assured. Our Li family will absolutely not wrong Keying at all, and must give her a grand and unforgettable wedding."

"Yes, yes, yes," Mrs. Li hurriedly followed up, "After Keying marries Li Xiao, my husband and I will definitely spoil her like our own daughter, and won't let her suffer half a grievance."

At this time, Li Xiao also stood up and stated solemnly: "Uncle, Auntie, I won't say empty words. You watch my performance, I will definitely give Keying happiness."

Qiu Keying could no longer suppress her excitement, and tears fell down.

"Oh, look at our Keying, she's crying with joy." Mrs. Qiu looked at her daughter, a gratified smile on her face, but her eyes also unconsciously turned red, and she reached out to pat her daughter's shoulder gently.

Everyone laughed, the atmosphere was harmonious for a while, the matter progressed extremely smoothly, and the two families could be said to be a hit.

"Brother Wanchang, I heard that Li's is working on the Winter Olympics project bidding recently, you must be busy." Qiu Chu took the initiative to say: "Why don't we handle the engagement matter? You also take a break. I heard from Li Xiao that your health was not very comfortable and you were hospitalized a few days ago, so you can't be too tired."

"How can that be!"

Li Wanchang raised his eyebrows and refused immediately: "Brother, you can't fight with me on this matter. We are the man's side, this matter should have been handled by our family. Don't worry, although it is an engagement, it is definitely the highest standard."

"My health was not very comfortable a few days ago, but now it is all better, especially today, I feel that I am full of energy. Brother, sister-in-law, you don't have to mix in a single finger for the engagement, it's all covered by our family."

This is etiquette, and it is also a rule.

Whether it is an engagement or a wedding, it should be handled by the man's family.

Seeing that his attitude was so firm, Qiu Chu didn't insist too much, and nodded gently: "Okay, then we won't be polite. If there is anything you need our help with, you must open your mouth. No matter what, we elders are all for the good of the two children."

"This is right, it's all for the children." Mrs. Li echoed in agreement.

In the evening, the two families had a simple meal together. Li Wanchang and Qiu Chu drank a lot of wine, and everyone was happy from the bottom of their hearts.

Except for Li Xiao.

In the late autumn of the north, the evening wind was already a bit bone-chilling. Li Xiao stood alone in the garden, lit a cigarette with his head down.

The steaming smoke floated under the night sky and printed a pool of white painting, then dissipated quickly. Li Xiao looked up at the night sky, pitch black, no stars, no moon.

Just like his heart at this moment.

"Li Xiao!"

Qiu Keying's voice suddenly came from behind. Li Xiao recovered, extinguished the cigarette butt without haste, and the expression on his face instantly floated with gentleness: "Are you full?"

Qiu Keying held Li Xiao's coat in her hand, looking nervous, and handed it to him: "You wear more, don't catch a cold."

"Okay." Li Xiao put on his coat obediently. Seeing this, Qiu Keying pursed her lips and smiled shyly. Even in the dim environment, she could see the shy blush on her face.

And Li Xiao's gentle voice followed above his head: "Tomorrow, I will take you to pick an engagement ring."
