"Yes." Lu Sili said seriously, "If you are worried, you can go and ask her."

"So what did you decide in the end?" Lian's father asked, "When are you going to hold the wedding?"

"It will be ready soon." Lu Sili said, "I have already arranged it and completed the relevant formalities. All we need is your consent."

Father Lian was silent for a long time, then sighed: "Okay."

He knew that he couldn't stop Lu Sili at all.

Lian's father turned to his wife and whispered, "Since he insists, let's grant his wish."

When Lian's mother heard what her husband said, her expression became very complicated.

She opened her mouth but couldn't utter a word of refusal.

"Mom, I know you can't bear to part with Lian Xi." Lu Sili said slowly, "I know you are worried that I will let Lian Xi down or hurt her, but please believe me, I will never do that."

"Don't be in a hurry to make promises. I haven't said that I won't let you get married." Lian's father suddenly said.

Lu Sili was stunned when he heard this, and then he laughed.

Lian's father continued, "But before you get married, I want you to give me a contract, which is that after marriage you must unconditionally meet any conditions Lian Xi puts forward, including divorce."

"No!" Lu Sili frowned, "Dad, Lian Xi won't agree."

"If she is willing to sign, I would certainly be more than happy to do so." Lian's father said calmly, "I just want to fight for more rights and interests for Lian Xi."

Lu Sili took a deep breath and compromised: "Okay, I'll draft the contract, but you have to tell me what the contract is that you want."

"Simple, I want you to swear that after you marry Lian Xi, no matter what happens in the future, you will not abandon Lian Xi." Lian's father said, "This is the bottom line."

Lian Xi felt mixed emotions after hearing these words.

She had never seen her father act so tough before.

Before this, he had always treated her gently and modestly, but now...

She turned to look at the man beside her. He still looked calm, as if he didn't feel he was being bullied.

She lowered her eyes to hide the emotions in them and asked softly, "How do you answer?"

Lu Sili held her hand and looked at Lian's father with a smile: "Dad, don't worry, I won't let Lian Xi down after she marries me."

"That's great." Lian's father said, "I don't want our Lian Xi to be bullied one day. You know what to do, right?"

"I understand." Lu Sili nodded, his tone sincere, "Don't worry, unless I die, no one can hurt her."

"Since you have already decided, I won't say much." Lian's father paused and said, "Xi'er, once the wedding date is confirmed, I will tell the relatives."

Lian Xi responded softly, his expression a little dazed.

"Xi'er?" Lian's father called her, "Are you okay?"

Lian Xi raised his head and forced a smile towards his father: "It's okay, Dad, I'm very happy."

Father Lian sighed and said, "Silly child, Dad is afraid that you will be too tired."

"Well, thank you for your concern." Lian Xi said, "I am really happy."

"That's good." Lian's father patted her shoulder and said, "It's getting late. You and Si Li should go and have a rest. You've been exhausted all day. I'm sure you've been very tired."

Lu Sili nodded, took Lian Xi in his arm and walked upstairs.

The two of them remained silent all the way until they returned to the door of the room.

Lian Xi stopped and turned to look at Lu Sili with some hesitation in his eyes.

"What's wrong?" Lu Sili asked, "Is there anything else?"

Lian Xi bit her lip and finally spoke: "Si Li, can you postpone our wedding for half a month?"

Lu Sili was stunned.

Half a month?

"Is it inconvenient?" Lian Xi asked cautiously, "Perhaps it would be better to hold the wedding after you have dealt with the company's affairs?"

Lu Sili stared at Lian Xi, his eyes gradually becoming obscure and indistinct.

After a moment, he took her hand and said, "Let's go in and talk."

The two returned to the bedroom. Lu Sili sat on the sofa and motioned Lian Xi to sit down.

Lian Xi sat down opposite him nervously, his eyes flickering.

Lu Sili stared at her for a while before saying, "Xi'er, tell me honestly, why did you suddenly change your mind and decide to postpone the wedding?"

Lian Xi bit her lip, seeming to find it difficult to speak.

Seeing this, Lu Sili reached out and touched her head: "It's okay, you don't have to say it if you don't want to."

"I..." Lian Xi took a deep breath, "Because I want to prepare well. I have never thought about re-holding the wedding before. It's a bit too sudden, and I'm afraid I won't be able to adapt to it by then."

Lu Sili seemed to be thinking: "So you want to postpone the wedding because you are afraid of being nervous?"

Lian Xi shook his head and said, "It's not just because of this."

"Oh?" Lu Sili looked at her with interest, "Any other reason?"

Lian Xi pondered for a long time, and finally mustered up the courage to speak: "Actually, I... am not ready to be a mother yet."

"What?" Lu Sili raised his eyebrows in surprise, "What are you thinking about?"

Lu Sili didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

"There's no rush to have a child. Besides, we need to make sure that others don't look down on you." Lu Sili patiently explained, "We can prepare slowly. You don't need to rush. After all, you are still young."

Lian Xi breathed a sigh of relief and nodded: "Yeah."

Lu Sili pinched her cheek and said, "Be good."

"Don't you blame me?" Lian Xi asked, "I could have gotten pregnant earlier, but now I'm delaying your work and your career."

"How could that be?" Lu Sili smiled, "You are not wrong, I am the one who is wrong."

Lian Xi looked at Lu Sili in shock, forgetting to react for a moment.

Lu Sili rubbed her head and said, "Go to bed early. You have to go to work tomorrow."

Lian Xi nodded dumbly, "Okay. Good night."

Lu Sili smiled, kissed her forehead and said, "Good night."

The next morning, when Lian Xi woke up, Lu Sili had already left.

She had just washed up and was about to go out after eating when her cell phone rang.

He picked up the phone and saw that it was his father calling. Lian Xi quickly pressed the answer button: "Dad?"

"Xi'er." Lian's father's voice sounded a little serious. "Si Li promised me yesterday that the wedding date can be postponed for half a month. Don't worry, just go to work at the company."

Lian Xi was stunned for a moment, then said, "Thank you, Dad."

"You are a smart and sensible girl. Dad believes that you will be happy."

After hanging up the phone, Lian Xi felt mixed emotions.

She knew that although Lu Sili agreed to Lian's father's request, he was probably still unhappy in his heart.

He just agreed so readily out of consideration for her feelings.

Lian Xi felt a huge surge of guilt and sorrow in his heart, and couldn't help but cover his mouth.

Lu Sili is so good to me, and I will treat him the same in the future.
