Xiao Baili accompanied Xi Rui to choose the stones. The two of them strolled around, and when they were tired, they went to the teahouse to drink tea.
As there were only the two of them, they did not choose a private room. Instead, they sat in a corner of the hall on the second floor.
Xi Rui pushed a plate ot retreshments in tront ot Xiao Baili. “This is the new mung bean cake. You might like it.”!!
Xiao Baili picked up a piece and tasted it. She smiled and nodded. “Brother Rui Imows me very well!”
This mung bean cake was not sweet and greasy. It was soft and delicious.
Xi Rui laughed and counted a bunch of them. “That’s right. Don’t you like sweet things? You like…”
Because he liked Xiao Baili, he had been paying attention to her preferences.
Xiao Baili took a sip of tea and asked with a smile, “Brother Rui, do you know what else I like?”
Xi Rui knew that it was time for him to show off. “Do you like…”
He told her what colors she liked, what she liked to draw, and what her hobbies were.
Xiao Baili was surprised when she heard him. She didn’t expect him to know her so well.
“Brother Rui, why do you know me so well?” she asked with a smile.
Xi Rui was taken aback by her question and said in embarrassment, “You’re Old
Xiao’s younger sister.”
Xiao Baili raised her eyebrows. “Just because of my brother?”
Xi Rui stole a glance at her. “Not exactly.”
Xiao Baili thought of the Sixth Prince and Miss Yan today and didn’t want to continue being annoyed like this.
“Recently, many families have come to propose marriage to me. Is it the same for your family?” she asked meaningfully.
Speaking of this, Xi Rui was annoyed. “Yeah, they used to look down on me for being a silkpants. Ever since I became the dean of the Craftsman College, I’ve become a hot bun.”
“Then do you have a suitable candidate?” Xiao Baili asked.
Xi Rui stole another glance at Xiao Baili. “I don’t like those people. What about you?”
Xiao Baili smiled and said, “There are a few that seem quite good.”
Xi Rui was anxious. “Can you not agree to them?”
Xiao Baili looked at him. “Why?”
Xi Rui took a deep breath and said, “Because, because I want to marry you.”
Today, he heard that many of the scions of the aristocratic families had deliberately bumped into Baili and the Sixth Prince, who was eyeing her covetously.
It was said that the First Prince’s wife’s mother also wanted to propose marriage to Baili.
He originally wanted to cultivate his relationship with Baili more and wait until the conditions were right before proposing.
But now, he suddenly couldn’t wait any longer. Regardless of whether those people who proposed marriage had a motive or not, he was unhappy that Baili was coveted.
It was the same on his side. There were many people who wanted to marry into the Xi Family, and he did not want Baili to misunderstand.
“Brother Rui, you want to marry me?” Xiao Baili deliberately changed the topic to this, just to wait for him to say this.
Xi Rui nodded immediately. “Yes, I want to marry you.”
His eyes were filled with seriousness and affection. “Baili, I like you and want to marry you. I’ll only treat you well in this life.”
“I can guarantee that after I marry you, I will be like Old Xiao to Qingluo. I will never take any concubines, and I won’t bother with other women. We will live our lives together.”
“If you like to eat, I’ll cook delicious food with you.”
“If you like to play, I’ll accompany you to go sightseeing.”
Then, he added, “My family likes you very much. They all support me marrying
you.”
Xiao Baili felt that his words were very pleasant. If she liked to eat, he would accompany her to cook. If she liked to play, he would accompany her to tour the mountains and rivers. This was probably only something that Brother Rui could do.
She wasn’t a pretentious person, and she didn’t want to keep him hanging. Hence, she nodded with watery eyes. “Sure!”
Xi Rui was prepared to be rejected, or that she would go back and ask her family for advice, or that she would have to consider it.
Therefore, when he heard her words, he was dumbfounded. “Ah!”
Looking at his stunned expression, Xiao Baili laughed. “Brother Rui, are you so happy that you’ve become silly?”
“Yeah, I’m so happy that I’m dumbfounded. I can’t believe it.” Xi Rui looked at her excitedly, wanting to confirm it again. “Baili, did you agree to my proposal?”
Xiao Baili nodded. “Yes, I agree.”
“Because I like Brother Rui too!” she said straightforwardly. “Sister-in-law said that happiness has to be fought for by oneself. If you like it, you have to say it out loud.”
She believed that those who liked her would be as happy as she was when they heard that she liked him too.
Xi Rui’s eyes widened. Apparently, he didn’t expect her to say that she liked him.
His face turned red in agitation. He couldn’t help but stand up. “I-I’m so happy.”
“Baili, I won’t let you down.”
“I, I can’t wait anymore. I want to go back and ask my family to propose marriage now. ”
He really couldn’t wait any longer. He wanted to let the entire capital know that Xiao Baili was going to be engaged to him.
Xiao Baili looked at his silly face. Not only did she not despise him, but she also found him cute.
Xi Rui nodded. “Okay, I’ll send you back first, then I’ll go back.” The two of them left the teahouse together.
Xi Rui sent Xiao Baili to the entrance of the Xiao Mansion.
“Baili, your family will agree, right?” he asked nervously.
Although he had a good relationship with Old Xiao and his wife, he was afraid that they would think that he was a silkpants and not want to marry Baili to him.
He was so nervous that his hands were covered in sweat. “Should I go in and ask your family first?”
Xiao Baili could tell that he was nervous and worried. She gave him a comforting smile. “Brother Rui, you’re such a good person. How could my family not agree?”
Xi Rui touched his nose in embarrassment. “Am I okay? But everyone says that I’m a silkpants who can’t be supported.”
In the past, those women from aristocratic families despised him like this.
Of course, he did not want to marry those people.
“I think you’re very good!” Xiao Baili said seriously. “Your talent in mechanics and academy management is definitely at the top among the children of the aristocratic families.”
“Besides, you know what I like and will accompany me to do what I like. This is something that the other young masters of the aristocratic families can’t do.”
“Besides, so what if you’re a silkpants? You didn’t eat their rice, and you didn’t do anything bad.”
“Anyway, I think you’re good. You should be more confident in yourself.”
Xi Rui’s eyes were bright and excited. “I didn’t know I was so good in your eves!”
He felt warm in his heart. Other people wanted to marry him either because of his family background or because he had recently become the director.
Baili was the only one who truly felt that he was good. She agreed to marry him because she liked him.
How could he not be touched and happy? He cherished it even more.
Xi Rui no longer tried to hide the love in his eyes for her. “I’ll go back now and ask my family to propose marriage.”
Xiao Baili nodded. “Okay, I’ll wait for you! ”
A big smile appeared on Xi Rui’s face. “That’s the most beautiful thing I’ve ever heard.”
‘I’ll wait for you.’ He felt very happy when he heard that..
