Chapter 107: Chapter 107: The Elder Dugu Visits to Propose Marriage 1_1

In the blink of an eye, the weekend had arrived again.

When school let out for the weekend, Shen Tianxing stepped out of the school gates and saw her dad, Shen Wenru, waiting for her there.

She hurried over with a little run and sweetly called out, "Dad, you came so early!"

Shen Wenru laughed, reaching out to ruffle her hair, "I just got here not long ago. Let’s go, get in the car."

"Okay."

Shen Tianxing got into the passenger seat and watched as Shen Wenru started the car skillfully and sped off toward the Shen Family’s ecological estate.

On the way home, Shen Wenru asked Shen Tianxing, "Xiaoxing, with Zixi’s grandparents coming over, what preparations should we make?"

Shen Tianxing smiled and replied, "You guys don’t have to prepare anything. Once I get home, I’ll make some food and drinks suitable for the elders, and mom can just use those to entertain them."

Shen Wenru laughed, "That’s great, with you taking care of things, your mom and I can relax. Ah, just thinking about you being taken away by that cheeky boy, your mom and I haven’t slept well these past few days, feeling quite uneasy."

Shen Tianxing understood her parents’ feelings of not wanting to let their daughter become someone else’s child, so she cooed to Shen Wenru, "Dad, no matter where I go, I’ll always be your daughter. Besides, Zixi and I have only just started dating. There’s still a long time before our relationship is confirmed and even longer till I get married. You and mom are worrying too soon!"

Shen Wenru shook his head with a light chuckle, "We’re just over-worrying, aren’t we? No matter how capable you are, in the eyes of mom and dad, you’ll always be our little Xingxing who needs our protection."

Touched, Shen Tianxing felt warmth in her eyes and chided with a laugh, "Dad, if you keep this up, I’m going to get moved to tears."

Her parents always said she was their lucky star, but Shen Tianxing felt equally fortunate to have such wonderful parents and to be a part of the Shen Family.

As their car neared the Shen Family’s ecological estate, Shen Tianxing saw the twins riding their bikes home.

Shen Tianxing rolled down the window and shouted their names with a smile, "Xiaoqi, Xiaoliang..."

Shen Tianqi and Shen Tianliang, seeing their dad and sister, also called out joyfully, "Daddy, sister..."

Shen Tianxing waved at them, "Hurry up and catch up!"

"Okie-dokie!"

At her words, the twins pedaled even harder, their bicycles almost catching up to the speed of the car.

Shen Tianxing watched her brothers pedaling so earnestly and couldn’t help but burst into laughter.

Shen Wenru looked at her indulgently, a warm smile on his lips.

When they arrived home, Li Xiuxia was busy cooking in the kitchen.

Though their family had long been multimillionaires, their household lifestyle hadn’t changed. It remained Shen Wenru overseeing external affairs, Li Xiuxia managing the household, and the three children attending their respective schools.

This family, as warm as spring, was the most sacred haven in the hearts of every member.

After stepping out of the car, Shen Tianxing entered the house and saw Li Xiuxia bustling about. She quickly set down her backpack and went over, "Mom, let me do it!"

Li Xiuxia knew her daughter’s cooking skills surpassed hers, but she didn’t want Shen Tianxing to work so hard and said, "You’ve just come back, take a rest first. I don’t have much else to do at home, just gardening and taking care of the house—how could it be tiring? You go and play for a while. I’ll call you guys when the meal is ready."

Shen Tianxing looked at her mother’s indulgent expression and couldn’t help laughing, "Mom, if you and Dad spoil me like this, I’m going to turn into a lazy bug with limbs that don’t work hard."

Li Xiuxia, however, laughed and said, "No you won’t, my daughter is the best! Mom and Dad have doted on you for so many years, but you’re still so well-behaved and understanding, not worrying us at all."

Shen Tianxing laughed heartily, "Mom, are you praising me, or are you praising yourself and Dad for educating me well?"

Li Xiuxia was amused by her and burst into laughter, "You little rascal, alright alright, cut the chatter and go out, don’t block me from working."

"Am I really going out?"

"Go on, go on..."

Shen Tianxing smiled as she walked out of the kitchen, then picked up her backpack from the sofa and returned to her room.

After washing her face and hands and changing into casual home clothes, she went back to the living room to chat with her dad and her two younger brothers about their studies.

Shen Wenru looked at his three outstanding children and always felt like the heavens had been particularly kind to him, letting him have so, so much happiness.

Not long into their conversation, Li Xiuxia called from the kitchen for everyone to eat.

After a blissfully ordinary family meal, Shen Tianxing went back to her room, locked the door, and directly "flashed" into Lifespace.

Dugu Zixi was waiting for her in the space. As soon as he saw Shen Tianxing come in, he immediately hugged her happily, "Xiaoxing, what took you so long? I’ve been waiting for you for ages."

He didn’t have to work or go to school now, and spent all his time in the space cultivating.

Aside from cultivating, when he woke up, he would just count the time until Shen Tianxing came in, which sometimes made the waiting seem exceptionally long and torturous.

After he went back that day and told his family about Shen Wenru’s and Li Xiuxia’s attitudes, his family also understood why Shen Wenru and Li Xiuxia were reluctant to marry their daughter off to another family.

The Dugu family patriarch laughed heartily, "If I had a granddaughter as good-looking and capable as Xiaoxing, I definitely wouldn’t want her to marry away either."

The Dugu family matriarch joined in with a laugh, "Exactly. Zixi finding a good child like Xiaoxing is really his good fortune, and the Dugu family’s fortune too!"

Sitting on the side, the current CEO Dugu Jun’an and CEO’s wife Ye Ningning deeply agreed with the patriarch and matriarch’s remarks.

Dugu Zixi, seeing that Shen Tianxing hadn’t even entered the door yet but had already won over his entire family, felt full of anticipation for the future.

Now seeing Shen Tianxing again, Dugu Zixi felt even happier being with her.

Shen Tianxing, seeing him acting spoiled in front of her, something unseen in their past life, couldn’t help but laugh and lightly scolded, "I came here right after having dinner with Mom and Dad, not delaying even a moment!"

Dugu Zixi, hearing that she had finished eating, said with a woeful face, "You’ve already eaten? Then what about this whole table of dishes that I’ve made?"

Shen Tianxing looked towards the Zizhu Building’s dining area, indeed seeing a table of steaming delicious dishes waiting for her to taste.

Not wanting to disappoint Dugu Zixi’s efforts and affection, she smiled and took his hand, saying, "It just so happens I didn’t quite fill up earlier, so let’s have another meal."

Hearing this, Dugu Zixi immediately grinned from ear to ear, beaming with joy.
