Of course, Lu Jingzhi thought to himself, but he couldn't say it out loud. After all, he wanted to give her a surprise. Didn't she want to get engaged to him?
Sang Yu was at a loss for how to respond. Did she want it or not? It wasn't that she didn't want to; it was just so sudden. She had never considered this before, and now it was suddenly on the agenda. It was probably hard for anyone to accept. Besides, he hadn't even proposed to her yet.
"It's okay, sweetheart. Just focus on what you're doing. You don't have to worry about the engagement; just show up on the day. My parents have already gone to pick a date, and they should send it over tonight. You can choose one with my father and mother-in-law."
Sang Yu exclaimed, "Is your family always this efficient? They don't even give them time to react!"
"Efficiency is the principle we pursue in the Lu Family." He chuckled. "My mom can't wait for tomorrow to have me marry you. She didn't even go home; she dragged my dad off to consult some master about the date."
In their business dealings, speed, accuracy, and decisiveness were paramount. Once a direction was set, they would strike at the enemy's vital points without hesitation.
"So you just went straight for my dad's vital points?" Sang Yu asked.
"Dear wife, let me explain," Lu Jingzhi replied.
"Why are you suddenly quiet?" he asked.
Sang Yu lay back on the bed, staring blankly at the ceiling: "What should I say right now? Life is so unpredictable!"
"Express how excited you are! How thrilled you feel!" He was particularly excited at that moment, filled with energy; even if her father were to hit him a couple more times, he could take it.
"Hehe, I want to sleep. I'm hanging up!" She hadn't slept at all last night and felt very sleepy now. With the matter resolved, Sang Yu felt much lighter in her heart. She closed her eyes and fell asleep within seconds.
Lu Jingzhi looked at the hung-up call and shook his head affectionately. How wonderful! Soon he would be one of those who could hold his wife while sleeping at night.
That evening, Lu Jingzhi really sent over the engagement date. Sang Yu couldn't help but marvel again; as expected of a businessman, everything was handled swiftly and efficiently.
The engagement date was set for the second day of the second month on the Lunar Calendar—the day when the dragon raises its head.
Once the engagement date was confirmed, Lu Jingzhi began visiting openly and confidently.
"Hello, Uncle!" As soon as Sang's father opened the door, he saw Lu Jingzhi grinning widely at him. Sang's father curled his lip in disdain and ignored him.
This guy had such thick skin! He had been coming over every day for several days now. No matter how cold Sang's father acted, Lu Jingzhi treated him as if he hadn’t noticed and continued calling him "Uncle" warmly. At this point, Sang's father didn’t even want to say anything anymore.
Lu Jingzhi completely disregarded Lu Fu's disdain; after all, his daughter was practically his now—what did it matter if he was disliked a bit?
Upon entering and seeing Sang's monther, he politely greeted her, "Hello, Auntie!"
"Oh, Jingzhi is here? Da Bao hasn't woken up yet. You can sit down and wait for a bit. Have you eaten breakfast?" Putting aside previous matters, Sang's monther now looked more fondly at Lu Jingzhi as a mother-in-law would towards her son-in-law.
"I haven't eaten yet, Auntie!" He had come over first thing in the morning because he wanted to spend more time with Sang Yu today. His precious girl had already told him that she had agreed with his mother-in-law yesterday that she would come back with him to the city today.
In his previous visits, his father-in-law had never allowed his girlfriend to go out with him, nor did he let him enter Sang Yu's room. He was only permitted to stay in the living room, where his father-in-law kept a watchful eye on him. It was as if the moment they got too close, that piercing gaze from his father-in-law shot at him like a knife.
Perhaps his mother-in-law couldn't stand it any longer and felt sorry for him, which is why she decided to intervene today. With her stepping in, he believed that his father-in-law wouldn't be able to cause any trouble.
"Please sit down. Take whatever you want to eat, don't be shy. I'll go get you a bowl of porridge," Sang's monther said as she stood up to head to the kitchen to serve Lu Jingzhi.
