The Little Childhood Friend in a Female-Dominated World (ChatGPT Translated)

44. Who do you like?

The two families are not far apart, and Xu Yu usually comes over in person when there is something to do, never sending a letter.

Therefore, when the servant brought the letter to Lu Feng and Xu Mu, Xu Mu's eyes were sharp like a knife, and he quickly approached, making Lu Feng inexplicably guilty.

Today, the two families had dinner together, with the whole family present. Although they didn't put down their chopsticks, their eyes were wandering between Lu Feng and Xu Mu, making Lu Feng feel the letter in her hand suddenly become hot.

Lu Feng quickly lowered her head to open the letter. After seeing who the sender was, her tense back slightly relaxed, and she let out a sigh of relief. She pressed her finger heavily on Xu Yu's name on the letter and glanced at everyone, saying, "What are you all thinking?"

Does she look like someone who secretly flirts with other young masters behind Xu Mu's back?

Ji Shi laughed at her, "We didn't say anything."

But after knowing that the letter was written by Xu Yu, the strange atmosphere at the dinner table suddenly disappeared.

Xu Mu leisurely withdrew his gaze that was fixed on his own food and lowered his head to drink porridge.

Lu Feng was curious. What madness possessed Xu Yu to write such a misleading letter to her?

Lu Feng carefully examined the envelope. Inside, there was only one sheet of paper with Xu Yu's neat and clean handwriting, unlike her own bold and flamboyant style.

After taking a quick look, Lu Feng furrowed her brows slightly and couldn't help but glance at Xu Mu beside her. She placed the letter on the table and looked up at Ji Shi, asking, "Father, did Uncle Wan come this afternoon to propose marriage on behalf of Xu Yu?"

Upon hearing this, Xu Mu almost choked and incredulously leaned forward to look at the letter on the table.

Based on their understanding of Xu Yu, this was probably Wan Shi's own idea.

"We were just about to tell you two," Ji Shi looked at Li Shi and smiled as he said to the two children, "Today, gathering together is not just for a hot pot meal, but also to discuss the date for your engagement after dinner."

Li Shi nodded and said, "Uncle Wan reminded us today. We always thought that Mi Jian was still young, but others don't see it that way anymore. Since you two have been childhood sweethearts and are deeply in love, why not settle the engagement early and get married after Mi Jian comes of age? This way, we can avoid being bothered by others."

Lu Feng and Xu Mu had no objections to this matter and smiled at each other. Lu Feng secretly reached out and, using the table as cover, held onto Xu Mu's fingers, clasping them in her palm.

Even though they often did this, doing it so secretly in front of the adults made Xu Mu blush and lower his head without saying a word.

The two of them decided to have their engagement on the twentieth day of the first lunar month, which was an auspicious day for marriage. The preparation time was not very long, but it was enough.

Li Shi was now over two months pregnant, and by then, she would still be able to handle some tasks. Setting the date closer would prevent her from having a big belly and being unable to personally take care of Mi Jian, leaving her with regrets.

As time passed by, with the lanterns lit up on the Imperial Street, more than half of the first month had already passed, and in the blink of an eye, it was the day of the betrothal.

The purpose of the betrothal was to let everyone know that Xu Mu from General Ji's family belonged to the Lu family, so the preparations were as lively as a wedding.
