Chapter 543: Isn't Engagement Just for That Little Thing?
Ying Xuelian and Qu Tuotuo heard this and were momentarily unable to react.
They had read the entire menu from start to finish just now and saw no mention of any "Four-Piece Mighty Set."
The waiter had never heard of this dish either and could only say apologetically:
"Mr., we don't have what you're talking about in our shop."
"You must be new," Yu Dazhang said discontentedly:
"I've eaten at this place before. Just say 'gun, bullet, immortal, waist,' and your boss will understand; he'll grill three sets right up."
The three of them were very satisfied with this barbecue meal.
When the Four-Piece Mighty Set arrived, both Ying Xuelian and Qu Tuotuo were left with heads full of question marks.
Even Qu Tuotuo, who had seen much of the world, was eating this for the first time.
However, after hearing Yu Dazhang say this thing was "beautifying and nourishing," the two immediately had no more reservations and started eating right away.
After dropping Ying Xuelian back at the hotel, Yu Dazhang returned to the car. Before starting the engine, he stared at Qu Tuotuo and asked:
"Where are we going?"
"Does that even need asking?" Qu Tuotuo didn't understand his meaning and said irritably:
"It's so late already; just take me home."
Wasn't the Four-Piece Mighty Set eaten for nothing... Yu Dazhang reminded her:
"Given our current relationship, we don't need to go home."
Don't need to go home? Qu Tuotuo felt there was something more behind his words.
After thinking carefully, she finally understood what he meant.
"What are you thinking? You really have no shame." Her face was as red as a ripe apple, looking very tempting.
It seemed a bit like coquetry; it probably wasn't a refusal... Yu Dazhang immediately started the car and said quickly:
"Let's switch to another place; I know there's a star-rated hotel nearby."
Now Qu Tuotuo's face turned even redder.
"Stop fooling around; take me home," she said, pretending to be unhappy on purpose.
Seeing her tone was serious, Yu Dazhang turned his head to look at her and asked:
"Do you know why I got engaged to you?"
Qu Tuotuo also turned her head, stared at him, and retorted:
"Don't tell me it's just for that little thing?"
From the moment they met until now, this was the first time they had discussed such a serious topic.
If it were before, Yu Dazhang wouldn't have been in such a hurry.
After all, they were just in a dating relationship; they could take their time getting along, and things would naturally fall into place with time.
But now it was different.
Once engaged, the two were considered to have established a marital relationship.
In Yu Dazhang's view, this meant certain things could now be done.
"Since you know, you should be more conscientious," Yu Dazhang simply laid his cards on the table.
They were both adults; there was nothing to be shy about.
Besides, he wasn't forcing her to do anything; this was just a discussion.
"Stop fooling around."
Seeing that he had become serious, Qu Tuotuo, fearing the conversation would spark something, quickly changed the subject:
"Hurry up and take me back; you have work tomorrow."
Starting the car, Yu Dazhang complained while manipulating the steering wheel:
"We're already engaged, yet we still can't live together; what's the point of engagement then? Let me tell you, you're playing with people's feelings; to put it bluntly, this is fraud."
Qu Tuotuo didn't dare to respond; she turned her head and cast her gaze out the car window.
Her lips were pressed tightly together, and there was a smile in her eyes.
"What era is this now? Still clinging to those old traditions of guarding one's chastity; it's simply ridiculous."
Seeing her turn her head away, Yu Dazhang became even more angry, and his tone turned sarcastic:
"If you ask me, you're just engaging in feudal superstition; it would be laughable if word got out."
"Many domestic students have babies while still in school, yet you, who studied abroad, are still so conservative."
The more he spoke, the more agitated he became, and his words grew harsher:
"Is there something wrong with your body? That's very possible; I need to consider a pre-marital checkup, otherwise why would you resist so much?"
Seeing that he had started to make personal attacks, Qu Tuotuo turned around and punched him with her fist:
"I told you not to talk nonsense!"
In this era, young people's minds were indeed much more open, but not everyone was enthusiastic about matters between men and women.
The situation Yu Dazhang mentioned regarding students getting pregnant while in school did exist, but it was actually not very common.
Therefore, one cannot generalize from a partial case.
