Chapter 1237: Chapter 1237: Resolution
Lv Beiguang sighed, feeling anxious and missing the children when they were not around, sighing alone. Now that they’re back, he’s still sighing.
Having been through it himself, he could understand how boys would react at this time.
But he has a daughter too, making him even more empathetic to a father’s heart.
Guodong couldn’t sleep tonight, constantly replaying the events of the afternoon in his mind. It was truly irresistible.
Jing Chu and Li Xue lay silently on the kang. Jing Chu worried that Li Xue might feel uncomfortable, but seeing her sister-in-law lying still, she didn’t know what to say and soon fell asleep.
Li Xue, however, couldn’t sleep. She kept thinking about the afternoon, feeling her face heat up. She didn’t expect herself to be so bold.
In fact, it was she who took the initiative. Actually, that’s not a bad thing; now Li Xue could fully relax, as they were genuinely a married couple.
But there was always a lingering uncertainty in her heart.
Now, she felt at ease. She belonged to him, and he belonged to her.
The young girl was full of dreams for the future, with a sweet smile on her face.
Imagining their happy life together. That was what she longed for the most, wanting to be with him every moment.
The next morning, Lv Beiguang got up early to stoke the stove, and even prepared porridge and vegetables himself.
After Guodong got up and washed, he was instructed to go buy some fried dough sticks.
When Jing Chu got up, she said irritably, "Dad, why did you get up so early? I wanted to make breakfast for you."
"It’s okay, you’re still young, it’s good to get more sleep."
Li Xue sweetly called him dad. Then the two girls went to wash up.
After breakfast, the three men walked to the distillery together.
Jing Chu went alone to Jiang Xinyu’s house to start the fire again, tidying up once more, and took out the bedding, mainly because the camphor ball smell was too strong. It was essential to get rid of it in the coming days since Feifei wouldn’t like it.
After tidying up, she returned home.
Lv Beiguang and his two sons arrived at the distillery and checked the time. By now, Li Yunqiao would definitely be at work, not worrying anymore about whether it would affect his job.
Today, the phone was quickly connected. The person who answered said that Li Yunqiao hadn’t had time to hold a meeting yet. Mainly because today’s meeting wasn’t important.
"Brother Li, it’s Lv Beiguang."
"In-law, what’s the matter?" Li Yunqiao was rather puzzled since they had spoken on the phone yesterday, so why call again today?
"Brother Li, the children’s matters must be moved forward." Lv Beiguang sighed after he spoke.
On the other end, Li Yunqiao immediately realized. He was filled with anger. Any father with a daughter would be furious upon hearing this news.
"Dad, let me talk to my dad. You and Guodong can wait for me outside." Li Xue knew she had to be the one to say it.
Lv Beiguang reluctantly handed the phone to Li Xue and pulled his unwilling son out of the office.
At this time, many people were arriving for work, and they greeted each other.
"Secretary Lv, your son is really good-looking." Too bad he’s already taken. He would have made a great son-in-law.
Guodong smiled and greeted them all, addressing them as uncles and aunts, a safe choice.
In the office, Li Xue took the phone, "Dad, it’s me."
Li Yunqiao held back his anger, having just heard what his daughter said, he had a bad premonition.
"Xue. Do you also want to get married first then register?"
"Mm, I want to. Dad, yesterday afternoon I took the initiative. I like Guodong."
Li Yunqiao’s face changed. His daughter was young, but as a man, he knew if it happened like this, it could lead to men not cherishing you.
But now wasn’t the right time to say this. First, it’s inappropriate over the phone, and second, as a father, it’s difficult to say these things to his daughter.
"Xue’er, did you never consider the possible negative consequences?"
"Dad, I trust Guodong. Please believe him and believe me."
Li Yunqiao closed his eyes, truly at a loss for what to do. Disappointed yet unable to blame her, he also pitied his daughter.
In this romance, his daughter’s position became humble.
This isn’t good for a woman, easy for a man to overlook you.
But what’s done is done, nothing more to say. It’s too late with his daughter having given everything for that guy, her restraint thrown away.
"Dad."
"Xue’er, since this is what you thought, I agree. But you know no one here can go through it, we’ll have to let Brother Chaoyang handle it."
"Dad, I know. Don’t worry, Dad. I’ll definitely be happy. You must believe me."
"Alright, I believe you. Daddy wishes you happiness."
Okay, go call Guodong to pick up the phone."
Outside, Lv Beiguang and his sons waited. Seeing his daughter-in-law come out smiling, he felt half relieved.
"Guodong, Dad is calling you to pick up the phone."
Guodong glanced at Lv Beiguang, then smilingly entered the office.
"Dad, don’t worry. Dad agreed to my and Guodong’s matters."
Lv Beiguang sighed, "Xue’er, rest assured, Dad will stand by your side. If Guodong does wrong, I’ll deal with him."
Li Xue nodded with a smile, "Dad, I trust you. I trust Guodong even more, that he’ll definitely be good to me, for a lifetime."
Lv Beiguang nodded firmly, "That’s how it should be. Dad hopes you both love each other harmoniously and happily forever."
Li Xue nodded firmly, "Dad, we definitely will."
On the surface, Guodong seemed calm, but since he got beaten last night, he realized the situation.
Although they were already betrothed, they were young, and in the wrong place. If this were the Northeast, the issue wouldn’t be as substantial.
Having just arrived at their home, such a thing happened, making it seem like he had deceived the girl.
"Dad, it’s Guodong."
Li Yunqiao, having calmed down now, said, "Guodong, since you both want to get married, then do it. When you return, I’ll find a way for you to register."
Currently, household registration details aren’t strictly controlled, so granting them marriage registration can still be arranged.
"Thanks, Dad, I swear to always treat Xue’er well, all my life."
"Okay, I remember your promise. I trust you, but sometimes, the temptations outside are too great. You must control them, always remembering your commitment to me today."
"Dad, I promise."
"Alright, go call your dad." Yesterday, Lv Beiguang was hemmed and hawed, surely unaware of what happened between the two kids yesterday.
Having been in the official field for many years, Li Yunqiao had a knack for reading people, and Lv Beiguang was definitely a decent, honest man.
Although he was angry with Guodong, he was quite satisfied with Lv Beiguang’s conduct.
