117: Xu Xin's opinion
"Will you marry me?"
Luo Feng's tone was firm, sincere, and moving.
"Hmph, that's definitely not enough!"
Mu Mu's voice came through.
"Not to mention anything else, you at least need an engagement ring, right? Luo Feng."
"You're just proposing over the phone; what kind of woman wouldn't have a hard time with a test like that?"
Mu Mu's voice sounded a bit displeased.
"Oh, Mu Mu."
Xu Xin gently chided Mu Mu at the right moment.
Luo Feng looked troubled and glanced at Qiao Yu.
At this moment, Luo Feng appeared so helpless. After all, it was his first time proposing. To a straight guy like him who could keep forgetting to make up for the wedding ceremony with Xu Xin, he looked completely like a clueless novice right now.
Qiao Yu covered his forehead, thinking to himself, what a blockhead, and hurriedly helped Luo Feng smooth things over.
"Actually, Luo Feng wanted to propose formally. He originally intended to give you a surprise, but he was just too anxious and let it slip."
"He was just trying to ask when you would be free to meet up so he could propose properly."
Qiao Yu's excuse sounded a bit clumsy, but at least it gave both sides a way out.
Since Xu Xin wasn't unwilling, it was better to go along with this narrative and just set a time and place later to formally propose.
Given how smart Xu Xin was, how could she not realize this?
All she wanted was an attitude from Luo Feng, and she was also giving him a way out.
Luo Feng caught onto Qiao Yu's cue and nodded vigorously.
"That's right, that's right. I was too anxious and let it slip by accident."
Xu Xin covered her mouth and teased.
"So you like me that much? You can't even wait?"
Being teased like this, Luo Feng regained some rhythm and responded with a smile.
"Yeah, I'm in a rush to have a litter of big, chubby boys and pretty girls with you."
Having been exposed to the business world since she was young, Xu Xin could handle Luo Feng's teasing and continued to banter.
"I don't think you're in a rush to have a big, chubby boy; I think you're in a rush for the exercise that comes with making one."
Mu Mu, listening from the side, turned bright red.
"Xu Xin, what are you two talking about? Why does it sound weirder the more I listen?"
Although she understood in her heart, she played dumb; maintaining the act of being reserved was a basic skill for an actor.
Xu Xin covered her mouth, stifling a laugh, and didn't offer an explanation.
"Then I'll set a time and place, and I'll formally propose to you then."
Luo Feng said with a smile.
"Hee hee, Xin Xin, I didn't expect that after only knowing you for a few months, I'd get to witness your happiness. I'm so lucky."
Mu Mu was clearly satisfied with this answer.
Early marriage and early childbearing had become the norm on Earth after the great reshuffling caused by the rr virus.
People's physical development was earlier and stronger, so marrying early didn't affect their own development or that of the fetus in the slightest.
"But there's still one more problem, Luo Feng. Have you thought about the fact that my Family might not agree?"
Xu Xin didn't reveal her identity directly, just brushing over it vaguely. After all, what Old Master Xu wanted was for her to interact with others as an ordinary person and temper her Heart-Nature in the world.
Mu Mu clearly didn't know about Xu Xin's Family background; otherwise, she wouldn't have reacted this way.
Luo Feng pondered for a moment, then looked at Qiao Yu, not answering immediately.
Seeing this, Qiao Yu spoke confidently.
"Xu Xin, you can tell your Family directly. If they don't agree, let them come find me and Luo Feng. We aren't afraid of a scene; the bigger the commotion, the more interesting it gets."
Xu Xin was skeptical about Qiao Yu's words. Although she was the Young Miss of the Xu Family and was very spoiled by her Family, they would absolutely not be careless about major life events, and it was unlikely they would let Xu Xin make the decision on her own.
The wealthier and more powerful a Family was, the stricter their control over their descendants actually was.
"Xin Xin, is it really that exaggerated? Are your parents' standards that high? Didn't you say Luo Feng is a Martial Artist from the Dojo of Limits? They still don't approve?"
Mu Mu asked curiously from the side. If it were her Family, knowing her boyfriend was a Martial Artist—even the most ordinary Warrior Level Martial Artist—they would welcome him with open arms and call him a worthy son-in-law. A Martial Artist was synonymous with wealth.
However, she seemed to have heard that Xu Xin's brother was very protective of her, so the main pressure probably came from him.
"Yeah, my Family is quite strict."
Xu Xin said calmly.
Although she still had doubts in her heart, since Luo Feng didn't have any objections, she wouldn't either.
If they were truly going to get married, Luo Feng would be the pillar of their little Family. If he couldn't even withstand the pressure from the Xu Family, it would only mean it wasn't the best time to get married yet.
Moreover, she understood Luo Feng's character; he wasn't a man who spoke wildly. More importantly, she believed her man could handle it well. He only proposed because he had the confidence.
The group chatted for a while longer before hanging up the phone.
"Xin Xin, what does your husband's brother do? He's so handsome! Does he have a girlfriend?"
After hanging up, Mu Mu dropped her disguise and excitedly asked Xu Xin about Qiao Yu.
"We aren't married yet, Luo Feng isn't my husband yet."
"What's wrong, have a crush? Qiao Yu is Luo Feng's high school classmate and also a Martial Artist. Back when he was at the Dojo of Limits... let's wait until I've handled my affairs before asking for his opinion."
Xu Xin didn't know much about Qiao Yu; most of the information she had came from Luo Feng.
"Xin Xin, your affairs are the most important. Once your business is settled, don't forget about your sister's happiness!"
...
"A-Yu, what should we do next?"
Luo Feng paced back and forth anxiously, asking Qiao Yu.
"Hmm..."
"You don't need to prepare a gift; if you're going to give one, give something priceless. First, book a private room, and then we'll decorate it..."
Qiao Yu pondered for a moment, then spoke slowly, making arrangements.
The two discussed it for a while longer with Luo Fengs Father and Mother and Luo Hua, and finally decided to let Luo Hua handle the other matters. Luo Feng and Qiao Yu had done so much for them; it was a rare opportunity to repay them.
Luo Fengs Father and Mother had no objections at all. After resolving their immediate living difficulties, their main focus was hoping Luo Feng would get married and have children soon, so they could hold their grandchildren.
That way, their daily lives wouldn't be too boring, and they could look after their grandchildren or something.
As for the Luo Family Members asking what gift Qiao Yu had prepared—since it was a priceless treasure, it was, of course, the black god set. To Qiao Yu, this item was quite cheap.
But for a Martial Artist, for Xu Xin, and for the Xu Family Members, this set was something they could only dream of but never obtain.
The Xu Family itself had no War God Level Martial Artist; they only had one Martial Artist serving as a Guest Elder, whom they had to treat with great respect at all times.
As long as the Xu Family agreed to let Xu Xin marry Luo Feng, Qiao Yu could even use this black god set as a betrothal gift. With the black god set, the young generation of the Xu Family's Martial Artists would basically be able to rampage through the Wilderness Area at will, and it was highly possible that a War God from the Xu Family itself would emerge in the future.
