Chapter 1242: Side Story: Ye Xi Wants to Settle Down Too!_2
At this moment, resolving it this way, the guilt in Ye Xi’s heart must have faded.
Because he gave her the ending she wanted.
"Ah!"
Clearly, on the other end of the phone, Minal was shocked by Ye Xi’s words!
She let out a scream, immediately held her head, and couldn’t snap out of it for quite a while.
After over thirty seconds, when Minal had somewhat recovered, she picked up the phone again and put it on speaker, asking, "Can you repeat what you just said! I didn’t hear it clearly!"
Ye Xi said calmly, "I should handle the marriage matters too. If you’re free tomorrow, come meet the parents. Then, bring my mom to your house to meet your parents. Let’s settle the marriage sooner."
"Ah~~~"
Even though she had already been excited once, after listening to him explain the arrangements in detail, she couldn’t help but let out a second excited sound!
This time, Minal took nearly a minute to recover again...
Ye Xi waited speechlessly for a minute.
Then, from the other end of the phone, her voice came, "Quickly book a flight for me! I’ll send you my ID, phone number, and name in a bit! Help me book it, I have no money left! The fastest one, the fastest, the fastest! Or check if there’s a flight tonight? A night one is fine!"
She was simply in a hurry!
She wished she could sprout wings and fly over immediately!
Ye Xi could roughly guess that she would react this way.
Very cute.
The smile on his face didn’t fade, and he spoke lightly, "This is a major life event, I’ll give you a night to consider. After you send me the info, I’ll book the flight. The time before you board the plane is your time to think it over. If you regret it, you don’t have to get on the flight, and it’s fine about the ticket too."
"Only a fool would regret it! I’m already grateful if you don’t regret it!" Minal promptly stopped him from saying such pointless things.
They’re already discussing marriage, why talk about regretting or not!
Regretting is something a puppy would do!
Over there, Minal was so anxious she was patting the bed, "Oh my, I’m dying of urgency! I’m hanging up now to send you the information immediately! You quickly buy the ticket for me, quickly, immediately now! The fastest ticket! I don’t need any thinking time! Neither do you!"
Ye Xi couldn’t help but laugh, "Alright then, hang up first."
Minal suddenly exclaimed, "Wait a minute..."
Ye Xi: "Hmm?"
Minal hastily asked, "It’s not April Fools’ Day today, right?" Was he joking with her?
Ye Xi lightly furrowed his brows, "It’s winter break."
Minal let out a breath of relief, "That’s good, you have no chance to regret it! Hanging up, goodbye, goodbye!"
Ye Xi wanted to say something else, but all he heard was the busy tone from the other end.
This was the first time Minal hung up on him first.
If it were before, it was always Ye Xi who hung up first. Because if he didn’t, she would find all sorts of topics to chat with him endlessly.
This time, even though she hung up the phone, Ye Xi was in a good mood.
Just as he was about to put away his phone, he received a notification from WeChat with the personal information she sent.
And she was urging urgently on WeChat: [Book me the flight now! Right now!]
Ye Xi thought of booking it for her later, he felt there was no rush.
However, a minute later, Minal sent him a screenshot of flight information from Beijing to Wenzhou.
And she circled the nearest flight.
With the text on WeChat: [This flight! Quickly book it, I’m going to pack now! Book it quickly, hurry up!]
Now Ye Xi couldn’t ignore it anymore.
He let out a light sigh and, following her instructions, booked her a flight for 6:00 AM the next morning.
Because it was a 6:00 AM flight, the price was cheap.
However, she surely had to hurry.
Ye Xi thought about it and felt rushing for an early morning flight was too risky for her.
After all, at that time, it’s dangerous for a girl to take a taxi and encounter a problematic driver.
So, after booking the flight and sending her the flight information, Ye Xi also booked a hotel near the airport for her.
Then he sent her the hotel booking, typing on WeChat: [I booked you a hotel near the airport. Once you’ve packed, head over to the hotel to check-in, so you won’t have to rush tomorrow morning.]
Over there, Minal was busy packing her luggage like crazy, but still kept a close watch on her phone.
When Ye Xi’s message arrived, she rushed over with a pile of clothes in her arms, excitedly opening his message and then bursting into laughter. She immediately sent Ye Xi a voice message: "Good, good, good! I’ll pack my bags and head to the hotel right away! Thank you for your arrangements! Love you, love you, mwah mwah mwah mwah..."
Ye Xi received countless air kisses, giving him goosebumps all over.
This voice message, he wouldn’t listen to a second time.
However, after hearing this voice message, he was in an even better mood.
Ye Xi also replied to Minal with a WeChat message: [Let me know once you’ve checked in.]
Minal replied: [Ok!]
The conversation ended there.
After putting down the phone, Ye Xi stood by the window for a while, lost in thought.
At this moment, many thoughts ran through his mind...
Making such a decision was indeed impulsive.
But not regrettable.
It’s a way to give her closure and a resolution for himself.
He’s getting older, it’s time to get married.
In an adult’s world, marriage can be complex, or it can be simple.
If he lets go of his obsessions, marriage can be simple.
Ye Xi now chose to simplify marriage.
He wanted to find someone to spend his days with, someone he doesn’t dislike, maybe even has a bit of a liking for.
As for feelings of love and affection...
Such feelings are actually not important.
Because at a certain age, people tend to lose those abilities passively.
So, Ye Xi doesn’t believe he loves Minal, nor does he think he likes her a lot.
He merely has a good impression of her and has gotten used to her presence.
Letting go of obsessions, marriage for adults... becomes very simple.
...
When Ye Xi returned to the banquet hall, the banquet was already nearing its end.
Some well-fed and satisfied guests had already said their goodbyes to the hosts and left for home.
As the host, they were naturally the last to leave any banquet.
So Ye Xi couldn’t leave.
Ye Xi walked over to his mother, Xu Hui, who was sitting at a table with a group of middle-aged women, chatting and laughing with them.
Originally, Ye Xi planned to wait until he got home to tell Xu Hui about Minal’s visit tomorrow.
However, he suddenly heard Xu Hui and her friends discussing whether they should go to Nanxi River in Wenzhou tomorrow for a fun trip?
Ye Xi was afraid Xu Hui wouldn’t be home tomorrow, so he interjected, "Mom, you can’t go out tomorrow."
"Why?"
Xu Hui was momentarily confused, turning to ask him.
Even though she didn’t plan to go out tomorrow, she was just making casual conversation with the guests.
Ye Xi leaned closer and whispered in her ear, "Tomorrow, my significant other is coming."
"Huh?"
Xu Hui seemed to think she misheard, and after gathering her wits, she asked again, "Who’s coming?"
Ye Xi patiently repeated, "My girlfriend is coming, it’s time to discuss my marriage matters too."
"Oh my!"
Xu Hui widened her eyes, "Did I hear that right! Your girlfriend!"
All the women at the table turned their gaze towards Ye Xi...
It could be seen that these middle-aged women were each showing a look of regret in their eyes?
Because, just a moment ago, they were eagerly recommending good girls they knew, hoping to set up Ye Xi with a promising match.
But...
"Really? Your girlfriend?" Xu Hui asked.
Ye Xi nodded, "Yes, I asked her to come over to discuss marriage, so you have to be home."
Xu Hui: "..."
This is too exciting!
