Chapter 2015: Worried Ying Xi

Ying Dong hadn't anticipated bringing up this matter on the way, but he also hadn't expected his sister to be so sharp. Not only did she guess it, but she also came to him seeking confirmation.

With things reaching this point, Ying Dong decided not to hide anything further.

Shu Yu listened and chuckled, saying, ''After all, the expression of someone in love can't be concealed.''

Ying Xi felt somewhat proud and replied, ''Since you've made Hua Xian my sister-in-law, I have no objections.''

They were all family, so Ying Xi understood him well.

''I have no objections either. It depends on what Grandma decides. But I think my grandmother should be very happy. As for the matter of your betrothal, it's up to Grandma to decide.'

Shu Yu's gaze shifted between Ying Dong and Ying Xi twice and continued, ''As for me, I'm usually quite busy, and I won't have time to handle your lifelong matters. So, if anyone in the household decides to marry or wishes to get married, just go directly to Grandmother. Ying Dong, you're the steward of the Lu family, and now there are more people in the family. Keep an eye on them and ask for their opinions when they reach the right age, so as not to delay things.'

She then turned her gaze to Ying Xi. ''But if Ying Xi, you find someone you like, you must tell me. You are close to me, and I wouldn't want you to be taken away without my knowledge.''

Ying Xi initially enjoyed listening to gossip, but when the topic suddenly turned to her, she became flustered. She huffed and said, ''Miss, I haven't found anyone.''

She rarely showed such a girlish side, and even Ying Dong found it surprising. Now it was his turn to tease her.

Ying Xi immediately blushed and was about to confront him.

The two siblings playfully bantered as they walked away, leaving Shu Yu to shake her head.

She needed to prepare some gifts for Grandma Lu to keep on hand. Whenever someone got married, wedding gifts were always necessary.

Whether they were employees of the Lu Store or servants of the Lu family, Shu Yu treated them all the same.

After Ying Dong discussed matters concerning Hua Xian, the journey became noticeably more relaxed.

He no longer held back and bought anything suitable for Hua Xian on the way. By the time they reached Dong'an Prefecture, his bundle of gifts had grown to four.

Shu Yu thought, '...Wow, I had no idea that Ying Dong was so wealthy. He must have secretly saved quite a bit of money.'

However, while Ying Dong felt at ease, Ying Xi began to worry.

After all, he was her brother, and she had to prepare gifts for when he got married. The gift for her sister-in-law's first meeting couldn't be too light. Furthermore, after her brother's marriage, it wouldn't be long before they had children. She had to prepare gifts for the child in advance. Children grow quickly, and she needed to think about gifts for their first, second, and third birthdays.

Fortunately, she had money in hand now, so she wasn't too anxious. However, she would need to cut back on her own expenses in the future. She couldn't just think about eating, as raising a child wouldn't be easy.

When Shu Yu overheard her mumbling about all this, she almost sprayed the water she was drinking.

''You're thinking too far ahead. The marriage hasn't even happened yet, and you've already planned gifts for a three-year-old's birthday? And taking care of children isn't your responsibility, it's your brother and sister-in-law's! You're not making it any easier on yourself, you know?''

While Ying Xi was thinking so far ahead, the betrothal hadn't even taken place yet. Shu Yu found her considerations quite amusing.

As the two siblings alternated between joy and worry, the group finally arrived in Dong'an Prefecture.

Upon entering the city, Shu Yu saw that it was still early, so she didn't stay in the city but went straight back to Jiangyuan County."
