Ding Long thought, the way he forcefully kept her by his side in the past life was truly the dumbest thod in the world.
Seeing Ding Jinshi’s smile looking sowhat forced, Ding Long joked, "If people make fun of , at worst it’s just a ntal trauma. That’s easy to handle; I’m a businessman who only cares about money. I’ll just add so ntal distress compensation to the bill later!"
As expected, after hearing this, Ding Jinshi glared at him in anger and kicked him, "Stingy! Indeed, just so my debt doesn’t increase by this huge amount, I’ll sing this song with you tonight even if it kills . It really proves the saying, stingy landlords are penny pinchers!"
Ding Long touched the tip of his nose, looked down to take a sip of the wine in his glass, raised an eyebrow, and smiled at Ding Jinshi, accepting her description of him as a stingy landlord.
"I say, you two, do you have to show off your affection in front of all our guests?" Lin Chan walked over while shaking his wine glass, gave both of them a once-over, then set his sights on Ding Jinshi, nodding approvingly, "This dress is lovely, suits you very well! Ah, it’s a sha Lan Li isn’t here today. Otherwise, let him see how much prettier you are, Ding Jinshi, after leaving Lan Li."
"A perfect match!" Lin Deng ca over giggling, "Congratulations to both of you. Well, I don’t know what blessing to offer, so I’ll just wish you a bunch of kids and a long, happy life together!"
"Alright, I’ll gladly accept your blessing then." Ding Long clinked glasses with Lin Deng generously, glanced at Ding Jinshi, and saw she too raised her glass. Although she didn’t speak, at least she didn’t flip out over the blessing of having kids early.
"Co on, let’s all toast together." Lin Chan sighed, "I never thought in our generation of this compound, you two would be the first to settle down."
"Cousin, are you envious? Speaking of which, cousin, you’re also at the age to settle down, aren’t you?" Lin Deng asked, "Do you have a partner? Don’t keep it from us if you do; let us et them first."
"Nonsense! I’m only twenty." Lin Chan gestured with both thumbs, "Why would I want to get married so early?"
"So of my classmates have been mothers for years already." Ding Jinshi finally joined the conversation, "So at twenty, you could pretty much settle down too. In our country, unlike abroad, wedlock and parenthood aren’t delayed. A few decades ago, n were fathers by fifteen or sixteen, right?"
"Why don’t you ntion won becoming mothers at thirteen?" Lin Chan retorted sharply, "In ancient tis, if you married at this age, you’d be considered an old maid, right?"
"How bored must you be, gathering here to chat about this?" Chen Shan walked over like a grumpy nanny, worried, "I say, you two main characters, care to focus? The engagent party is starting. Aren’t you supposed to head to the front and follow the arranged itinerary?"
Ding Long nodded and smiled apologetically, "Yes, almost forgot." He then looked down at Ding Jinshi, "Mom and Dad should both be waiting for us over there, let’s go."
Sure enough, in front of the small stage in the banquet hall, the two Ding Family elders were already there waiting for them. Ding Long walked over, took the lead to apologize, "Dad, Mom, sorry, I got caught up talking to friends and lost track of ti."
