"Xiao Huo ah, come here..." Father Bai glanced at Huo Xiang.

Huo Xiang walked to Bai Zhen Zhen's side. Because the sofa was very small, he could only sit down between Father Bai and Bai Zhen Zhen, so he cleverly half squatted to the side, putting on an appearance of wanting to receive teachings. A pair of intelligent eyes stared motionlessly at Father Bai.

"Although Uncle has only known you for a few days, Uncle knows that you are a good child." Father Bai reached out with a hand, held Huo Xiang's hand, and continued, "if you want to date Zhen Zhen, Uncle certainly approves it, but if you speak of getting married... you just met, aren't you still getting to know each other?"

Huo Xiang replied: "Uncle, for the matters of the heart, shouldn't we pay particular attention to fate? Some people can be deeply-rooted in love at first sight, while other people can't spark a feeling even if together for a lifetime. Zhen Zhen and I made this decision, in fact, it was also after careful deliberation, we want to treasure this fate that has brought us together."

"Uncle, I know what you are worried about. You fear that I've just recently gotten a job and haven't yet the ability to let Zhen Zhen live a good life. But I ask you to please believe that this is just temporary; with effort, one can achieve anything. And I will certainly strive hard to let my and Zhen Zhen's future become better and better. Let me correct it, even if I starve and freeze, I will absolutely not let Zhen Zhen bear any hardships." Huo Xiang's expression was earnest and his eyes resolute.

She obviously knew that all these were all clichés, but Bai Zhen Zhen surprisingly felt somewhat moved.

What surprised her even more was that this minor random passerby was able to say such high-level words! If he had a male lead halo, it would still be ok! Everyone on the scene would be crying because of me!

Father Bai was silent for a few seconds, then slowly nodded: "Ok! With these words of yours, I also feel relieved."

It looked like he had also been moved by Huo Xiang's sincerity.

"Old Bai, are you sure?!" Yang Su Ping smacked her tongue as she gave a meaningful look at Father Bai, "then, according to our tradition, the groom comes to the bride's family to propose marriage, so shouldn't also bring... betrothal gifts...?"

"He bought that many things early in the morning, and you still haven't shut your mouth yet ah?" Bai Zhen Zhen was not polite in talking back.

Yang Su Ping wanted to retort, but after taking into consideration the 2000 yuan Bai Zhen Zhen provided her every month, she swallowed back her words.

"Uncle Bai, Aunt Yang, you can rest assured." Huo Xiang stood up and said sincerely, betrothal gifts and monetary contributions, I will surely prepare them before the wedding ceremony."

Wedding ceremony?!

Bai Zhen Zhen was astonished. How come she hadn't heard about this ah?!

Huo Xiang winked at Bai Zhen Zhen, hinting her that this was merely a "stalling for time tactic." Bai Zhen Zhen didn't say anything.

"Fine, then." Father Bai also pulled Bai Zhen Zhen's hand and stood up, and finally handed Bai Zhen Zhen's hand to Huo Xiang, "since you have already decided, as a father, I give you my blessings! "

"Thank you, Uncle Bai!" Huo Xiang held Bai Zhen Zhen's hand and said cheerfully.

"Thank you, dad." Bai Zhen Zhen, however, had mixed feelings.

"To be able to obtain your blessings, Zhen Zhen and I will surely attain happiness. Please rest assured that I will work hard to give Zhen Zhen a good life." Huo Xiang said very gratefully, "that's right, Uncle Bai, Zhen Zhen and I will be going tomorrow to obtain our marriage certificate."

"Tomorrow is out of the question." Father Bai immediately interrupted him.

Bai Zhen Zhen and Huo Xiang glanced at each other.

Both of them were a bit nervous, afraid that Father Bai would go back on his words.

But Father Bai was all smiles as he said: "Tomorrow is Sunday, the Bureau of Civil Affairs will open the day after tomorrow."
