MTL - Gentle to the Bone-Chapter 39
August 9th was Shen Yansheng's mother's birthday. Shen Yansheng vented her parents in advance and told them that she would bring her boyfriend back then.
Zhou Xiuyun and Shen Haihua looked at each other subconsciously, both of them had expressions of disbelief.
Shen Haihua coughed, looked at his daughter, and said euphemistically, "Shengsheng, don't just find a man outside to lie to us just to calm my heart and your mother's heart."
"Your mother and I have figured it out now. If you don't want to fall in love, don't talk about it. If you don't want to get married, we won't rush it. As long as you are happy and happy."
Zhou Xiuyun also nodded in agreement and said, "Yes. The most important thing is that you are happy yourself."
Speaking, he couldn't help sighing and said with emotion: "In these days, there are really not many reliable men. I used to think that Xiao Fu was pretty good, but I didn't expect to be such a person."
Seeing her parents like this, Shen Yansheng was a bit dumbfounded for a while, she took her mother's hand and said, "What's the matter with you, I didn't want to fall in love before, you forced me to have a blind date all day, now I really want to bring my boyfriend back Seeing you, why don't you believe it?"
Zhou Xiuyun and Shen Haihua were stunned for a while when they heard the words, and then they asked, "Really?"
Shen Yansheng smiled and said, "Of course it's true. I'll bring him back for my mother's birthday this Friday."
Regarding the birthday present that Lu Jingce prepared for his mother, Shen Yansheng was really a little scared when he saw it for the first time.
That day, Lu Jingce came to the studio to pick her up from get off work. Because of her mother's birthday, she planned to leave early and packed her things early. Seeing that Lu Jingce's car had arrived, she turned around and explained to Mengmeng and the others, and pushed open the glass door of the studio. He happily ran towards Lu Jingce.
Lu Jingce was wearing a black suit today, probably because he wanted to see his parents. He looked like he was well-dressed. Shen Yansheng saw him leaning on the side of the car from a distance, and was almost fainted by his handsome face.
She happily ran over and threw herself into Lu Jingce's arms.
Lu Jingce smiled and hugged Shen Yansheng when she rushed into his arms.
Shen Yansheng looked up at him and said with a smile, "Lu Jingce, you are so handsome today, you almost dazzled me."
Lu Jingce smiled and asked, "I'm not usually handsome?"
"I'm also very handsome in normal times." Shen Yansheng looked at Lu Jingce's eyes full of stars, and said happily, "Today is especially handsome."
Lu Jingce smiled, bowed his head and kissed her, then helped her open the passenger door, and said, "Let's go, get in the car first."
Shen Yansheng gave an "um" and bent over to get into the car.
However, when she got in the car and saw the back row full of gifts, she was a little stunned.
When Lu Jingce sat in the cab, she looked at him in surprise and asked, "Don't tell me, these are my mother's birthday gifts?"
Lu Jingce said, "There are still some in the trunk."
As he drove, he said seriously: "Actually, it's not enough. There are still some things to prepare. I will deliver them in a few days."
Shen Yansheng: "...??"
Shen Yansheng looked at Lu Jingce and couldn't help saying, "Lu Jingce, you will scare my parents like this."
Lu Jingce said, "How can it be so exaggerated."
He added, "It's not just a birthday present. When you meet your parents for the first time, you should always prepare a welcome gift, right?"
Shen Yansheng smiled and said, "But on our side, when the son-in-law comes to see the parents, the elders give them a greeting."
Lu Jingce suddenly fell silent.
Shen Yansheng looked at him and couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong?"
The car stopped just before the red light.
Lu Jingce suddenly turned his head, took Shen Yansheng's hand, looked at her seriously, and said, "Shengsheng, there are no elders in my family, and there will be no elders to prepare gifts for you during the New Years and festivals in the future, so I will prepare them for you in the future, okay? ?"
Shen Yansheng looked at Lu Jingce, and suddenly his nose became sore. She nodded while holding back tears, and said with a little choked: "Okay. It's enough for me to have you."
Lu Jingce's throat was slightly astringent, he raised his palms to put Shen Yansheng's cheeks, leaned over and kissed her eyes gently, and said softly, "I love you Shengsheng."
"I know." Shen Yansheng looked up at him, with tears in her eyes that she couldn't hide.
How could she not know that Lu Jingce loved her.
She thought that there was no one else in this world who loved her more than Lu Jingce.
Because there were too many things, when Shen Yansheng was in the car, he called his father and asked him to come to the garage to help take the things.
Shen Haihua was in a hurry to see his son-in-law, and had been waiting in the garage for a long time.
At about six o'clock, a Rolls-Royce was seen in the distance driving towards their building.
He didn't pay attention at first, and didn't even think about it at all, and was still looking behind his head.
When the car stopped in front of him, he subconsciously took a step back to make way for others.
Shen Yansheng lowered the car window, waved to Dad happily, and shouted, "Dad! Where are you looking?"
Shen Haihua's mind went blank for a moment when he saw his daughter sitting in the co-pilot, and was stunned for several seconds.
Until the daughter got out of the car, pulled him with a smile and said, "Dad, don't be stunned, let's help get things first."
Shen Haihua only then reacted. Just as he was about to ask his daughter what was going on, he saw Lu Jingce getting down from the cab.
Shen Haihua was in the rich circle after all, and he had met Lu Jingce on many occasions.
It's just that Lu Jingce's class was higher than him, and he was not qualified to talk to Lu Jingce at that time.
Seeing Lu Jingce getting out of the car at this moment, his mind went blank until Shen Yansheng introduced him with a smile, saying, "Dad, this is Lu Jingce, my boyfriend."
Lu Jingce called out politely: "Hello, uncle, I'm Lu Jingce."
Fortunately, Shen Haihua had seen strong winds and waves. After being stunned for a few seconds, he finally came back to his senses, smiled decently, and said, "Hey, hello."
Shen Yansheng said with a smile: "Okay, let's go upstairs first. Mom is still waiting at home."
After speaking, he turned around to get something, Lu Jingce grabbed her and said, "I'll do it."
He leaned in to get something.
There were too many things, and he probably couldn't finish them all at once. He took some out, and Shen Haihua hurriedly picked them up, "I'll come, I'll come."
Lu Jingce gave some light things to Shen Haihua and said, "Trouble you uncle."
Shen Haihua said with a smile: "What's the trouble here. It's you, come as soon as you come. Why do you prepare so many things?"
Lu Jingce smiled and said, "It should be."
Lu Jingce took out what he could take out first, and planned to come down and take the rest later.
The three walked up the elevator together, Shen Haihua was carrying a few light things in his hands, Lu Jingce was carrying heavy ones, and Shen Yansheng was empty-handed.
She quietly pulled down Lu Jingce's clothes, looked up at him, and whispered, "Get me one."
Lu Jingce looked at her sideways, with a smile in his eyes, and said, "I'll just take it, it's not heavy."
Shen Yansheng whispered, "Give me one, or I won't take anything by myself."
Shen Yansheng couldn't help laughing, and gave Shen Yansheng the only small thing in his hand.
Shen Yansheng finally took something in his hand, and then he was happy, and smiled and squeezed his eyes at Lu Jingce.
Shen Haihua's eyes fell on the small movements of the two in the elevator. He looked at Lu Jingce and was very satisfied.
After arriving home, the door was open, and Shen Haihua walked in front, shouting happily, "Xiaoyun, Shengsheng is back."
Zhou Xiuyun was busy in the kitchen. Hearing the sound, he immediately turned off the fire and walked out of the kitchen.
When she saw Lu Jingce, she was also shocked.
However, she didn't know Lu Jingce, she just thought that this son-in-law was too handsome.
Seeing her mother stunned, Shen Yansheng smiled and took her mother's hand, saying, "Mom, let me introduce you, this is Lu Jingce, my boyfriend."
Lu Jingce smiled politely at Zhou Xiuyun and said, "Hello Auntie, I'm Lu Jingce."
Zhou Xiuyun came back to his senses and hurriedly greeted people to enter the room with a smile. Seeing that Lu Jingce was carrying such a thing in his hand, he hurriedly helped to pick it up and said with a smile, "Come here, why do you still bring so many things."
Shen Haihua also smiled and said, "I said the same just now."
While entering the room, he found a pair of slippers for Lu Jingce and said, "Little Lu, come in and sit."
Lu Jingce responded, changed his shoes and entered the room.
Zhou Xiuyun was still busy cooking in the kitchen. While beckoning Lu Jingce to sit, he said to Shen Yansheng, "Shengsheng, go get Xiao Lu a glass of water."
"Oh." Shen Yansheng took the bag into her own bedroom. When she came out, she saw her father and Lu Jingce sitting on the sofa chatting, so she didn't bother them. She poured Lu Jingce a glass of water from her cup, and went to the kitchen to help. Mom's busy.
When I entered the house, I saw my mother cooking and asked, "Mom, where is Chen's mother?"
Zhou Xiuyun said: "It's a holiday for Chen's mother. Isn't it a birthday today? You bring your boyfriend back again. Your dad and I think about our family having a good meal and chatting."
"Oh." Shen Yansheng smiled, walked over to look at the pot, and asked, "What can I do for you, Mom?"
Zhou Xiuyun smiled and said, "Take out the coriander from the refrigerator."
"Oh." Shen Yansheng opened the refrigerator, searched in the freezer, and took out the coriander.
Zhou Xiuyun suddenly remembered and asked, "By the way, does Xiao Lu eat coriander?"
Shen Yansheng smiled and said, "He doesn't eat anything, neither onion nor garlic."
"Oops." Zhou Xiuyun became anxious and said, "Why didn't you tell me earlier, the dishes I made earlier had green onions."
Shen Yansheng smiled and said, "It's nothing. He will definitely support the dishes that my mother cooks."
Zhou Xiuyun couldn't help laughing and said, "That can't be the case."
He instructed Shen Yansheng and said, "Take a pair of chopsticks and pick the onion and garlic in the dish."
Shen Yansheng smiled and said, "Okay."
She went to the cupboard and took out a pair of chopsticks, and really carefully picked out the onions and garlic in the dishes in the kitchen.
Zhou Xiuyun asked while cooking, "Sheng Sheng, how long have you been with Xiao Lu? Why didn't you bring it back before?"
Shen Yansheng said: "I didn't go that far before, but now that the time has come, I will definitely bring it back to see you."
Zhou Xiuyun asked, "How long have you two been together?"
Shen Yansheng said, "It's been a long time."
He added: "The two of us have a long story to tell. I'll tell you later later."
Zhou Xiuyun nodded with a smile, and said, "That's fine."
He added: "After you pick the dishes, take them to the restaurant and ask your father to come in and cook the fish. Most of the dishes tonight are made by your father."
Shen Yansheng smiled "Yeah", turned around and went to the restaurant with the dishes, and by the way called Dad to go in and cook the fish.
Shen Haihua and Lu Jingce said, "Little Lu, sit down for a while, you'll have dinner in a while."
Lu Jingce nodded and said, "Okay."
Shen Haihua went to the kitchen, Shen Yansheng sat next to Lu Jingce, took his arm, and asked him with a smile, "What is my father talking about with you?"
Lu Jingce picked up Shen Yansheng's cup, took a sip of water, and then looked at her with a smile, teasing her, "Guess what."
Shen Yansheng thought for a while and said, "Did he ask what you do?"
Lu Jingce smiled and said, "Your dad knows me."
"Ah?" Shen Yansheng was stunned for a moment, then reacted, "That's right. When there was no accident in our family, my dad should have seen you on some occasions."
Having said that, she looked at Lu Jingce and said regretfully, "Why haven't I met you before?"
Lu Jingce smiled and said, "It's not that I didn't meet you, it's that you didn't pay attention to me."
Shen Yansheng flattened her mouth, raised her head and kissed Lu Jingce's lips, and said, "I must have been blind before."
Lu Jingce couldn't help laughing and pinched her cheek, "You just know?"
"Yeah. Sorry to death."
The meal was quite harmonious. Because Shen Haihua knew Lu Jingce, he didn't need to ask many things about his family background.
After dinner, the family was sitting on the sofa chatting when Lu Jingce suddenly opened his mouth and said, "Uncle and auntie, I have something very important to tell you two elders today."
Shen Haihua and Zhou Xiuyun both smiled and said, "You say it, you say it."
Lu Jingce was very serious and said, "I want to marry Sheng Sheng."
Shen Yansheng was sitting next to him and was playing on his mobile phone, but when she heard Lu Jingce's words, she couldn't help but look at him subconsciously.
Shen Haihua and Zhou Xiuyun were also a little stunned.
In fact, when they were cooking in the kitchen just now, Shen Haihua and Zhou Xiuyun were still worried, thinking that Lu Jingce's conditions were too good, and Sheng Sheng might not be able to make it to the end.
At this moment, hearing Lu Jingce's serious proposal to them, the two of them were both a little stunned and moved.
Being able to propose marriage to the elders in such a cautious manner shows that Shengsheng must be very important in his heart.
Lu Jingce said: "I have just told my uncle about the situation at home. My parents left early, and my grandmother passed away a few years ago. Apart from me, there are no other relatives in the family. Maybe Shengsheng will marry me less. The love of the elders, but I will give her all my love, love her and take care of her for the rest of my life. I hope my uncles and aunts can rest assured and give me Shengsheng."
Shen Yansheng sat beside and listened, tears couldn't help falling.
Lu Jingce's words were too sincere, and Shen Haihua and Zhou Xiuyun couldn't help their eyes sore, Zhou Xiuyun nodded and said, "As long as you can take good care of Sheng Sheng and love her, we can be at ease as parents. "
Lu Jingce promised very seriously: "If I don't treat Sheng Sheng badly in the future, I will let the two elders deal with it."
Shen Haihua was moved with pantothenic eyes, nodded and said, "With your words, my mother and I will be relieved."
That night, Shen Yansheng and Lu Jingce stayed at their parents' place until after eleven o'clock in the evening before leaving.
After entering the elevator, Shen Yansheng couldn't help but look up at Lu Jingce.
Lu Jingce smiled and asked her, "What's wrong?"
Shen Yansheng pursed her lips and smiled, and said, "Lu Jingce, if you want to propose to my parents, why don't you tell me."
Lu Jingce took Shen Yansheng's hand and looked at her, "You don't want to?"
Shen Yansheng shook her head, put her chin on Lu Jingce's shoulder, and put her chin on his shoulder. In a place that Lu Jingce couldn't see, she couldn't help but redden her eyes, and said softly, "I am willing, very willing. Lu Jingce, I am willing to marry you."
Lu Jingce hugged her.
For this sentence, he waited for thirteen years.
His throat was slightly astringent, he hugged Shen Yansheng, lowered his head and whispered in her ear: "I will take good care of you, Sheng Sheng."
Shen Yansheng couldn't help crying.
She put down her toes, looked up at Lu Jingce, smiled happily, and said, "Lu Jingce, shall we go to collect the certificate on Monday?"
Lu Jingce looked at her with a smile in his eyes, nodded and said, "Okay."
