Lin Lan thought for a moment, then nodded. "If we get engaged in the last month of the lunar year, we'll have to find time to go back to Shilian."
'She felt they already understood each other well, making the engagement just a formality. The important thing was the marriage—knowing for sure that he was the person she could build a life with. But since Li Xiangyang wanted it, she was happy to respect his wishes.'
Li Xiangyang held Lin Lan's hand and said with a grin, "How about this? When your dad goes back, we'll go with him."
Little Douzi had come out at some point and piped up from behind them, "Mom, I want to go to Grandma's house too."
Lin Lan quickly let go of Li Xiangyang and shot him a quiet, playful glare.
"Okay!" Li Xiangyang said, laughing as he ruffled the boy's hair. "When Grandpa goes back, the three of us will go together."
Little Douzi's eyes crinkled into a smile as he nodded eagerly. "Yeah! We'll all go together."
"..." Lin Lan rolled her eyes at Li Xiangyang.
