No matter the reason, since this is a major life event like marriage, we still need to consider it carefully.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So, Uncle, Auntie, please give us a few more days, okay? I'm not asking for much, three days, just three days, is that okay?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since Xu Hongdou had spoken, Chen Nanxing naturally wouldn't refute.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And Chen Nanxing's parents also trusted and respected Xu Hongdou, so they didn't say anything either.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man's father, upon hearing this, had a somewhat dimmed look of expectation, but since Xu Hongdou had said so, he just nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the man's mother, Auntie Li, was somewhat agitated at this moment, looking at Xu Hongdou and saying: \"No, Miss Hongdou, I want to ask, shouldn't the matter of marriage be Chen Nanxing's own business? Even if Chen Nanxing can't make the decision, Chen Nanxing's parents are still here. Isn't it a bit excessive for you to suddenly speak up and help Chen Nanxing decide this matter?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Hongdou, upon hearing this, smiled calmly: \"How could it be, Auntie? Nanxing and I are best friends since childhood, as close as sisters.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In other words, Nanxing's boyfriend or future husband must be approved by me before he can become Nanxing's husband. If I don't approve, then Nanxing won't marry him.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As Nanxing's best friend, I have this influence and this ability. So, Uncle, Auntie, give us three more days, okay?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>In Xu Hongdou's words, there was clearly a hint of a threat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because from the tone of the man's mother just now, Xu Hongdou heard some impatience.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Xu Hongdou knew,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>if the man was really a cancer patient and didn't have much time left,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>as parents, they might also feel anxious and worried because of this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>no matter how anxious and worried they were, it shouldn't have reached this point.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Hongdou wasn't asking for much, just three days.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If within these three days, Xu Hongdou didn't find any problems,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>then Xu Hongdou wouldn't intervene in this matter anymore. If Chen Nanxing was willing, then let them get married. Xu Hongdou would not only offer her own blessings but also give a big red envelope to express her feelings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Later, after both the man and woman were laid to rest, Xu Hongdou would also go to visit their graves often and chat with them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>all Xu Hongdou wanted was three days.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For ordinary people, it really wasn't much.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even for cancer patients, as long as they weren't about to breathe their last, three days was enough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Chen Nanxing first entered the hospital, they said she wouldn't live for more than a month, but in the end, there was a very good turn of events, and her estimated life was extended by more than a year...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Hongdou believed that no matter what, the man definitely had these three days.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>why the man's mother was so aggressive, insisting on forcing Chen Nanxing to agree to this marriage right now, seemed a bit too extreme.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>it was Xu Hongdou's words that made the man's father realize something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the man's father hurriedly stopped the man's mother who wanted to speak again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He squeezed out a smile and then nodded, saying: \"Fine, okay, three days it is, we'll wait for you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mm, okay, thank you, Uncle and Auntie.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Hongdou responded with a smile, then took out her phone: \"It's really not easy for you and Auntie to come such a long way. I guess you don't have time to properly tour the Imperial Capital. How about this, I'll book the flight tickets for you and Auntie to go back. Consider it an apology from me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Xu Hongdou said this, she clicked on the phone's ticketing system and then asked: \"Uncle, Auntie, where are you staying now? Is it close to the airport?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man's mother, upon hearing this, looked deeply at Xu Hongdou, already having raised her guard against her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man's father smiled and waved his hand, then said: \"No need, thank you, Hongdou. Taotao's mother and I haven't been to the Imperial Capital many times. Since we promised to wait for you for three days, Taotao's mother and I won't go back yet. We'll tour the Imperial Capital these few days, consider it a short trip.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not going back?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Hongdou, upon hearing this, looked at the man's parents with some surprise again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since they said their son had cancer and were forcing Nannan to make a decision as soon as possible,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>but when Xu Hongdou was willing to buy them round-trip tickets,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>they said they weren't in a hurry and could wait three days.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this way,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>counting the two days for the return trip, it would be about five days in total.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Being away from their son for five days, are they really at ease?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if Xu Hongdou was busy during this period, she would go to the hospital to see Chen Nanxing at least once every three days.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not seeing their son for five or six days,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>are they really not worried?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suppressing the thoughts in her heart,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Hongdou smiled, then took out her business card and handed it to the man's father with both hands: \"Uncle Xiong, since you and Auntie have decided to stay in the Imperial Capital for the time being, why not come and stay at our hotel?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Although our hotel is a five-star hotel, because I am a hotel employee, I have employee benefit rooms every month, and it's not limited to relatives. Later, you and Auntie can come to my hotel, and I'll take you two to check in.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is that so?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man's father, Uncle Xiong, carefully looked at Xu Hongdou's business card, and then was slightly surprised: \"Waldorf Hotel? I've heard of this hotel. It costs several thousand yuan a night, the price is quite high, and the grade is also very high. Hongdou, you are the hotel's Administrative Director?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing the four words \"Administrative Director,\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the man's mother's eyes clearly changed, and then became relatively soft, and her entire aura was not as aggressive as before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Chen Nanxing's parents might not know the meaning of the four words \"Administrative Director,\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the man's parents, who were from a well-off family, knew the weight of these four words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, Xu Hongdou was an Administrative Director at the Waldorf, a well-known international five-star hotel; her connections, resources, and background must be quite impressive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that the man's mother's look at her finally became soft,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Hongdou smiled slightly and then said: \"Uncle, Auntie, actually the discount for our employee benefit rooms is quite significant. If you and Auntie come to stay, I should be able to give you a minimum 30% discount. It works out to be only one or two thousand a night, which for the Imperial Capital, is almost the price of a budget hotel.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, one or two thousand for the Imperial Capital is really not expensive.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man's father, upon hearing this, was somewhat tempted, so he looked at the man's mother and asked: \"How about we stay at Hongdou's hotel? Look, free buffet, free gym, and free swimming pool, the environment is still very good.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Well, okay.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man's mother hesitated for a moment, then nodded in agreement, and looked at Xu Hongdou with a smile: \"Then I'll trouble you, Hongdou.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No trouble.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Hongdou responded with a smile, then stood up directly and said: \"Then in that case, how about we go to the hotel first, and we can chat slowly when we get to the hotel?\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1284,"2026-06-16T19:41:50.437Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","f47012816ee86cc8c764d0158afb005df7ff2c809bbea0ab130bcc052ea6a901","joyful-youth-many-children-many-blessings-starti-chapter-435","joyful-youth-many-children-many-blessings-starti-chapter-433",441,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fjoyful-youth-many-children-many-blessings-starti-cover.jpg"]
