During the meal, Mr. Ruan warmly invited Fang Zheng to eat, while Ruan Xiaowei kept looking at Fang Zheng but didn't say anything.

Ruan's mother blamed Ruan Xiaojing and said, "He comes to our house every day to pick you up from get off work. I said he was your boyfriend, but you still didn't admit it."

Ruan Xiaojing smiled silently and did not argue with her mother. At that time, she really wanted to admit it but could not.

Fang Zheng said: "I came to your house today to visit you two elders and to get your consent. I want to marry Xiaojing."

"Get married?" Mother Ruan's sharp voice stood out. "Are you really going to get married?"

Ruan Xiaojing nodded calmly, "Yes."

Ruan's father asked Fang Zheng: "How long have you been dating?"

Fang Zheng turned to look at Ruan Xiaojing and said, "More than half a year."

Ruan's father asked: "So they started dating before her foot was injured?"

"Yes."

Father Ruan frowned and said, "We haven't been together for long. But I can see that you care about Xiaojing. For that month, you carried her upstairs and downstairs every day. You kept doing it."

Fang Zheng put down his chopsticks and looked at Father Ruan: "Then let's see what Uncle and Auntie think. I'll prepare whatever is needed in terms of betrothal gifts and etiquette."

Mother Ruan said hurriedly, "Xiaojing has been a well-behaved child since she was young. Her father loves Xiaojing the most. She must not be wronged in the betrothal gift."

Hearing her mother say this, Ruan Xiaojing looked at her father expectantly.

Father Ruan put down his bowl and chopsticks and shouted to Fang Zheng: "Fang Zheng, are you sure you want to marry Ruan Xiaojing?"

Fang Zheng nodded, "Yes."

"What do you like about her?"

Fang Zheng's eyes silently turned to Ruan Xiaojing. "She has a kind nature, gentle temperament, does not fight or compete, is positive and motivated, works seriously, has no airs, and treats people politely."

Father Ruan glanced at Ruan Xiaojing and said, "You haven't finished yet. She is diligent and sensible, submissive, capable of taking care of herself, and very competitive. And - she is pretty."

Ruan Xiaojing looked at her father in surprise. She didn't expect her father to be able to point out so many of her good qualities.

Fang Zheng nodded in agreement, "Yes, I will only slowly discover many of the advantages that uncle mentioned after living with Xiaojing."

Father Ruan continued, "You can't bully her. She has a good personality and won't speak out if she has any grievances."

Mother Ruan interrupted, "Oh, what kind of grievance can she suffer."

Father Ruan glared at her, "Don't you know the injustice she suffered?"

Mother Ruan was so unconvinced that she kept silent and dared not say anything else.

Father Ruan looked at Ruan Xiaojing and asked, "You are going to get married. Have you told your uncle?"

Ruan Xiaojing nodded, "I've already told you on the phone, I'll go to my uncle's house tomorrow."

"Your cousin is not around, and your uncle is the one who pays the most attention to you. You must report your marriage to your uncle first."

"I know."

"We said the house we bought for you a few years ago would be your dowry. As for the rest, we won't give you anything else." Father Ruan raised his voice and said, "Fang Zheng, have you bought a ring for Xiaojing?"

"Not yet. I will prepare it according to your request."

"You can't lose anything of Xiaojing's. Rings, jewelry, wedding dress, whatever others have, you can't let Xiaojing down."

"Okay, then the rest—"

Father Ruan had a serious expression on his face. "Just ask your parents to have a meal together. Forget about the rest."

"Dad——" Ruan Xiaojing shouted. She was very surprised by her father's request. She didn't expect that her father, who usually didn't talk much, was so open-minded.
