Chapter 696: Chapter 696: Oaths Are Not Credible
“`
As soon as Baili Zhenxing finished speaking, Baili Zhenhua and others imdiately expressed their agreent.
Baili Hengyuan also nodded, “Your uncle is right, Le Yao will certainly recover faster here.”
“Of course, we’re not against taking her back with your dad, it’s just not the right ti.”
Zhong Mingxin and Baili Lele were getting anxious. They wanted to speak up, but they caught Zhong Niangyao’s calm-down look.
“Grandpa, you can rest assured that I can take good care of my mom.”
Zhong Niangyao was in no hurry. She smiled and said, “Besides, both my dad and mom are not young anymore. It’s about ti they start planning for their own future.”
Zhong Mingxin and Baili Lele took a look at each other. They didn’t know what exactly Niangyao had planned, but they were clear that at this ti, they shouldn’t interrupt.
After a mont of silence, Baili Hengyuan asked, “What do you an?”
“Actually, part of the reason for this return was to let Grandma and Grandpa et their daughter-in-law,” Niangyao looked at Baili Hengyuan, “And besides, I’m already so grown up, yet my parents haven’t had a proper wedding. Isn’t that a regret for them?”
After Niangyao finished, the room fell into silence.
When Baili Hengyuan and the brothers Baili Zhenxing and Baili Zhenhua looked at Le Yao, their expressions filled with affection and distress. But when they looked at Zhong Mingxin again, they appeared quite disdainful and unsatisfied.
At this ti, Zhong Mingxin was internally regretting. He felt that he should have been the one to bring up such matters. His daughter raising the issue showed his neglect in his duty as a husband.
Baili Lele, anwhile, was overwheld with emotions. Looking at Niangyao, her gaze was filled with love and other complex feelings.
She had never thought that the wedding would be sothing her daughter would bring up first. She’s a woman and naturally had hoped for a wedding of her own.
However, both she and Zhong Mingxin were no longer young, and they had been separated for many years due to various sches. Now they had finally reunited, and all she wanted was to live a good life. The idea of a wedding had truly never crossed her mind.
“About this matter−” after a mont of thought, Baili Hengyuan spoke, “But your mom’s health−”
Baili Hengyuan was also conflicted. On one hand, he was unsure about Niangyao’s proposal, and on the other hand, he didn’t want his daughter to leave the Baili Family so soon. At least… to stay a bit longer, at least to spend so quality ti with his daughter!
“Grandpa, don’t worry about it, with here, Mom won’t have any issues,” Niangyao blinked and continued persuading, “And besides, Grandpa, are you planning to co with us?”
“What?” Baili Hengyuan was a bit confused, seemingly unable to keep up with Niangyao’s pace, “I won’t join in on this bustling.”
“Grandpa, everyone else might not go, but you definitely have to!” Niangyao blinked her eyes and smiled as she spoke, “How can you not be present for discussing the marriage matters! This is Mom’s lifelong event. Are you sure you don’t want to partake in the discussion?”
Her words made Baili Hengyuan sowhat tempted.
Le Yao was his most beloved daughter. After all the events that had happened, she finally woke up. Zhong Mingxin had returned, and they also had Niangyao, an outstanding daughter, but still, she and Zhong Mingxin had not had a wedding ceremony.
As a father, he naturally hoped to witness his dearest daughter’s marriage and hope to personally hand her over to the man she loves.
Therefore, after hearing Niangyao ntion the wedding, he couldn’t help but look forward to it.
Initially silent, Zhong Mingxin now stood up and approached Baili Hengyuan before kneeling.
Facing the sudden act from Zhong Mingxin, Baili Hengyuan was moved but did not say anything, only looking down at the kneeling Zhong Mingxin with a deep gaze that seed to see through his heart.
Zhong Mingxin was not afraid, however. He lifted his head, eyes full of resolute light, “Uncle, I know that Le Yao is an outstanding woman, and I may not be worthy of her. But I truly love her, and I hope you will agree to give her to in marriage. I can guarantee that I will always treat Le Yao well.”
Baili Hengyuan continued to stare at Zhong Mingxin, without verbalizing whether he believed him or not.
Facing Baili Hengyuan’s sharp gaze that seed to peer into his soul, Zhong Mingxin t it without flinching, without fear or retreat.
After a long while, Baili Hengyuan withdrew his gaze and spoke lightly, “I don’t believe in any vows. As long as a person is alive, vows can be broken.”
Hearing this, a look of disappointnt flashed across Zhong Mingxin’s face. However, he also felt it was understandable. After all, Baili Hengyuan didn’t know him, so why would he believe him?
Baili Lele was getting impatient, “Dad, I−”
She had barely spoken when Baili Hengyuan cut her off, his tone shifting, continuing, “Vows are not trustworthy, only tangible actions can convince . I’m giving him a chance, and from his actions henceforth, I’ll see if he can truly be good to my daughter.”
“If he ever treats her poorly, I will imdiately take her away, and he will never see her again.”
As the saying goes, ‘After the rain cos a rainbow,’ Zhong Mingxin and Baili Lele looked at each other and saw joy and happiness in each other’s eyes.
Although their love for each other was strong, receiving their parents’ blessing was even more important to them. Only then could they live happily together.
“Dad,” Baili Zhenhua started sowhat discontentedly, “how can you agree to him just like that?”
“Yeah!” Baili Zhenye chid in, “Look at that wimpy look of his, how can he protect our little sister?”
Baili Zhenxing, although silent, was clearly of the sa opinion as his brothers.
“Enough,” Baili Hengyuan raised his hand, making a decision, “I have made up my mind, and it will not change. Besides, I’m only giving him a chance. If he treats your little sister badly, we will imdiately take her back, and they will never et again.”
