Chapter 141 Arrogant Second-Generation Prodigy (Gong) VS Humble, Sensitive, and Invisible (Shou) [79
Jiang Xiyu felt that proposing like this was too hasty, but Lu Xingye just wouldn't let him go.
In the end, he had no choice but to kneel on the bed on one knee, just like other people do when proposing. But when he held the ring, he stammered and couldn't utter a single complete sentence.
But Lu Xingye seemed quite satisfied with this.
He took the initiative to bring his ring finger close to the ring band, and then willingly put the ring back on.
In truth, he didn't need a grand ceremony. He simply saw his clumsy sincerity through Jiang Xiyu's bright eyes. Lu Xingye only hoped that their relationship could be as solid as a rock and perfectly complete as this ring.
So, Lu Xingye told him I did.
Even though Jiang Xiyu didn't say anything, he was still willing.
The two faced off for a long time, and finally, looking at each other's red and swollen eyes, they both felt like laughing.
So they hid under the covers, silently gazing at each other while their fingers intertwined, whispering to each other.
Lu Xingye looked at the ring, then suddenly chuckled softly and said, "Jiang Xiyu, I'm only nineteen."
"Hmm?" Jiang Xiyu blinked and looked at him, somewhat puzzled.
"I might have a bad temper, be clingy, and not very patient. I have all sorts of flaws, but I still hope you can be more tolerant of me and love me more. I will also learn to be good to you..."
Saying it like that would make him seem too inadequate, and fearing that Jiang Xiyu wouldn't accept it, Lu Xingye solemnly added, "Once you propose, you can't go back on your word."
Jiang Xiyu's heart was pounding. After a moment, he smiled shyly, his voice muffled and somewhat embarrassed: "I won't go back on my word."
After saying that, the two moved even closer together.
They slept soundly and woke up in the afternoon.
The sunlight outside the window was just right, and the snow was gradually melting.
Jiang Xiyu and Lu Xingye took a shower together and cleaned themselves up before going downstairs.
Downstairs, Mrs. Lu was watching TV, with the housekeeper standing guard beside her.
Just then, the elevator's "ding" caught their attention. The two turned around and saw Lu Xingye leading Jiang Xiyu out.
Jiang Xiyu was still a little shy, but Lu Xingye was very open and generous.
Anyway, almost everyone in the villa knew about what happened between them, so there was no point in hiding it.
Madam Lu was the first to react. She stood up with a smile and asked them if they were hungry. Then she quickly urged the housekeeper to order someone to prepare food.
Lu Xingye led Jiang Xiyu to sit on the sofa. Jiang Xiyu tried to let go of Lu Xingye's hand, but Lu Xingye wouldn't allow it and even pulled his hand to his lap.
This also revealed the ring.
When Lu's mother saw the rings on the two people's hands, she almost thought she had misjudged them.
Lu Xingye, however, held his chin up, looking very proud.
Well, now Lu's mother is certain that her son is as good as he could possibly be.
She smiled and continued watching the BL drama playing on TV, intending to brush up on her knowledge in this area.
Jiang Xiyu also noticed that the palms of his hands, which were clasped together with Lu Xingye's, were unusually hot.
I never dared to imagine that Lu's mother would accept them.
Right now, I feel like I'm living a dream.
After this incident, the aunt not only didn't object, but seemed to actually wish them well.
Jiang Xiyu looked at Lu's mother with gratitude almost overflowing in her eyes.
Lu Xingye disliked Jiang Xiyu focusing her attention on his mother.
He didn't lose his temper, but he subtly blocked Jiang Xiyu's view, and even pinched his finger.
Jiang Xiyu composed himself and chuckled slightly.
Fifteen minutes later, the housekeeper came to call them for dinner.
After the two arrived at the dining area, Lu's mother clicked her tongue several times and asked, "Did you see that?"
The butler looked puzzled: "What?"
"The rings on their hands mean they've definitely made up."
Lu Xingye, in particular, wished he could shove the ring right in front of her, his mother's, eyes.
Lu's mother found it both funny and gratifying.
The butler, used to it, offered a rather sharp assessment: "That's how the young master is."
Although his true nature was revealed more slowly than usual, it was still quite fast.
After all, she had suffered a lot this time, and after only two days of pretending to be indifferent, she threw herself at Xi Yu and cried in his arms when she saw him come back.
Lu Xingye seemed to finally feel hungry and was willing to eat properly.
Jiang Xiyu was going to remove the fish bones for him.
Lu Xingye refused, telling him to eat properly, and then less than half a minute later, he choked on a fish bone.
Kade's face was flushed, but he refused to utter a sound, only drinking water.
He felt extremely ashamed and was afraid that Jiang Xiyu would find out.
Jiang Xiyu, however, saw through his intentions but said nothing. She scooped up a spoonful of rice, smiled, and held it to his mouth, telling him not to chew and to swallow it directly.
Lu Xingye reluctantly swallowed the fish bone.
He gritted his teeth and said to himself that he would never eat fish again in his life.
Jiang Xiyu found him adorable, wiped the water stains from his lips with her fingertips, and said, "Eat a little more rice."
Lu Xingye obediently ate another bowl of rice.
He seemed to be in much better spirits, but his face was still very pale.
Jiang Xiyu then made up her mind to fatten him up a bit more.
In the days that followed, he found all sorts of ways to support Lu Xingye.
Lu Xingye was very cooperative and very clingy to him.
In just one week, Jiang Xiyu had restored him to the pampered Lu Xingye he once was.
Lu's mother and the housekeeper saw all of this.
When Lu Xingye was first brought back from the Lu residence, he really didn't want to talk much or show his emotions. Sometimes, he didn't even want to look at anything around him. He was incredibly cold.
At this moment, he sat quietly on the sofa, as if he had returned to his old self.
But the next moment, when he saw Jiang Xiyu appear with flowers, he smiled again, but pretended to complain to Jiang Xiyu, "Why are you so slow? Why didn't you let me come along?"
Jiang Xiyu coaxed him, and he happily clung to her again, his eyes sparkling and a slightly shy smile on his face.
It was then that Lu's mother realized that Lu Xingye hadn't changed; it was just that because Jiang Xiyu loved him, he had become a better version of himself.
He began to indulge in happiness and learned to protect it.
One night, after Jiang Xiyu fell asleep, he went downstairs to find Lu's mother.
Lu's mother was used to staying up late, and since Lu Xingye had given her prior notice, she sat in the living room and waited for a while.
The mother and son hadn't sat down together and had a proper conversation like this in a long time.
After the divorce, Lu's mother was busy pursuing her own dreams and providing Lu Xingye with better financial conditions, so she neglected to provide him with emotional support.
Lu Xingye understood his mother's ideals from a very young age. He supported them and did not allow himself to become a burden to his mother. So he began to pretend that he did not need his mother.
Lu's mother was thriving in her career, which brought Lu Xingye a lot of attention as a result. In order not to affect Lu's mother's image, he always appeared polite in front of outsiders, leaving no room for criticism.
He doesn't interact much with others, nor does he attend chaotic gatherings within his circle.
Everyone marveled at how wonderful the famous actress Xu Wu had such a son.
Lu's mother thought so too, and it wasn't until this incident happened that she realized how neglectful she had been of her son.
She felt guilty and was in great pain.
But Lu Xingye still insisted that she was a very good mother.
