Chapter 112: Engagement
In the front hall of the Bai Mansion, Shang was smiling as she put a jade bracelet on Tang Wanru's fair hand.
The emerald green contrasts with the white snow, which is particularly pleasing to the eye.
Bai Yanli could see that this was not an ordinary bracelet, it was left to her by Shang's grandmother.
It is a family heirloom of the Bai family.
Well, he was only away for half a day, and all the family heirlooms were given to Tang Wanru.
Tang Wanru originally proposed a thank-you gift today to thank the Bai couple for visiting her grandmother at the general's mansion a few days ago.
The Bai couple also brought many of the most expensive supplements from Jiangnan for Old Lady Yu, which showed that they were very thoughtful.
Old Mrs. Yu specifically asked Tang Wanru to come in person to express her gratitude with a thank-you gift.
As a result, Tang Wanru had a hard time leaving. Not only was Shang invited to stay for dinner, but she was also given the Bai family heirloom.
Tang Wanru also took it obediently.
Since she and Bai Yanli have been granted marriage, she is a member of the Bai family and there is nothing to be shy about.
"Look." Shang held Tang Wanru's hand and said to Bai Ge, "This bracelet looks like it was custom-made for Ruer. It's so suitable."
Bai Ge, who had never been interested in women's jewelry, rarely looked at her and nodded repeatedly: "It's a good match. She is destined to be a member of our family."
As soon as these words came out, Shang immediately glared at him. This guy came here for the first time, and it would be bad if he scared the little girl.
Bai Ge suppressed his smile.
The three of them were chatting happily when they suddenly heard Bai Yanli's voice: "Dad, Mom."
Shang looked at him: "Li'er is back."
Tang Wanru looked up and exchanged glances with Bai Yanli, and an ambiguous atmosphere flowed in the air. Shang Shi, who had experienced this before, could not hide his excitement.
The last time I went to the Bai family, when I was chatting with the general's wife, Zhang, she teased that if Tang Wanru and Bai Yanli hadn't been married by the government, they would never have been together.
Now that she looked at them this way, it was clear that the two of them had their own feelings for each other, and they would definitely be together even without the government's arrangement of marriage.
Thinking of this, Shang's smile became even brighter. She pulled Bai Yanli to Tang Wanru's side, deliberately holding Tang Wanru's small hand in front of him, and said with a smile: "Li'er, look, this bracelet is very suitable for Ru'er."
Isn’t it suitable?
The green made her hands seem to glow.
For a moment, Bai Yanli's eyes were fixed on her little hand in a trance.
Shang deliberately asked, "Do you like it?"
"What did mother say?" Bai Yanli asked back.
"I said……"
"I like it!" Tang Wanru interrupted the conversation between the two. She knew that the mother and son were teasing her on purpose, so she took back the initiative.
"You, what do you like?" Shang thought Tang Wanru was going to confess her love to Bai Yanli.
"I like Mr. Bai...his kind heart." Tang Wanru smiled cheerfully, "Wanru thanks Mr. Bai for coming to Longquan Temple to get medicine for my grandmother these days. My grandmother asked me to come here today to thank the Bai family for their kindness."
This is great.
She took back the initiative of the topic. Shang thought to herself, this little girl is really smart.
Bai Yanli replied: "It's just a small favor, you're welcome, my sister."
Having said this, it was already getting late, so Tang Wanru said goodbye without saying anything else.
Shang really liked this smart and beautiful woman, and she wished she would stay at home today. She held her hand and reluctantly let her go out. After she saw her leave, she winked at Bai Yanli and asked him to see her off quickly.
The night was dark.
The Tang family's carriage stopped not far from the Bai residence. Bai Yanli trotted a few steps to Tang Wanru's side.
"Sister Wanru, are you really here just to thank Grandma for Yu's matter?" Bai Yanli asked as they walked together.
"What else?" Tang Wanru's voice was soft, and it sounded very pleasant in the quiet night.
"Then why did my sister come to thank you and give away my family's heirloom bracelet?"
When Tang Wanru heard this, she glanced at the bracelet on her hand and couldn't help laughing. But she quickly regained her composure and said, "If your mother wanted to give it to me, I would accept it. Besides, I am your fiancée, so it is normal for me to accept something from your family."
fiancée?
A warm feeling surged in Bai Yanli's heart, and she admitted that she was his fiancée.
Does that mean she is really going to marry him?
During this period of time, he tried every possible means to get her to marry him.
But he was still a little afraid that she would refuse.
He could see that Tang Wanru was a very opinionated person. He couldn't force her, and if he really wanted to marry her, her thoughts were the most important.
She kept walking.
He paused and chased after him again.
Suddenly he seemed to see something, and he raised his hand and grabbed Tang Wanru's wrist, then pulled her back to him with a slight force.
Tang Wanru was stunned, and then she fell into his arms. She smiled and said, "What are you going to do, Mr. Bai? I'm not married yet."
Bai Yanli looked at her calmly, glanced at the road in front of him, and said seriously: "It rained today, and there is a pothole in front that has not been filled in time. I am afraid you will fall."
Tang Wanru looked forward. Although it was dark at night, if she looked carefully, she could indeed see a mud pit on the ground. If he hadn't pulled her back, she might have fallen into it.
He has a reason!
Now that it was safe, Tang Wanru was about to push him away, but she didn't expect that his hand around her waist not only didn't loosen, but tightened even more...
Seeing that she was about to get angry, Bai Yanli laughed instead. He stared into her breathtakingly beautiful eyes and raised the corners of his lips: "I've given you all my ancestral bracelets, proving that you've been chosen by me, so you have to give me something in return."
"It proves that you have chosen me, too?"
Tang Wanru: ???
What could she give? She didn't bring anything. She actually felt around her body and found that she had nothing to give.
And he, of course, didn't want this. His arms around her suddenly tightened a little and his eyes fell on her little face.
Oh.
Tang Wanru suddenly understood. This is what he wanted.
It’s nothing, just give it to her, she won’t take advantage of others for nothing.
So she pursed her red lips and was about to tiptoe when she heard Yingchun's tentative voice from the carriage: "Master?"
