This morning, they saw the beautiful sunrise at sea as scheduled.
At night after they came back, Fu Dezheng was called into the study by Lu Wangxin who had a serious expression on his face.
Fu Dezhen had a vague sense of what Chairman wanted to talk to him about.
He felt a bit uneasy in his heart, just in case…
“Have a seat, young man.”
Lu Wangxin sat inside the desk and gestured towards the seat in front of his desk.
“Yes, Chairman.”
Fu Dezheng sat up straight, looking at the old man with white hair, waiting quietly to hear what he had to say.
The old man looked at Fu Dezheng in silence for a while before finally speaking, “You don’t need to call me Chairman anymore. You can call me Grandpa. I agree to your marriage with Lili.”
*Cough* Fu Dezheng almost choked on his own saliva.
—Marriage, what marriage?
He knew that Chairman must have wanted to talk to him about his close relationship with Miss.
He thought that Chairman might dismiss him and ask him to leave, but he never expected that Chairman would actually talk about marriage!
But he and Miss didn’t have that kind of relationship. What if she didn’t want it?
With this in mind, Fu Dezheng quickly explained, “Chairman, Miss and I are not…”
However, Lu Wangxin raised his hand to stop Fu Dezheng from continuing.
The old man looked at him seriously and sternly, “I can tell that Lili likes you. And if I’m not mistaken, you also like Lili, right?”
Fu Dezhen didn’t hesitate for a second, he nodded, “Yes.”
“So, I hope that in my lifetime, I can see you two get married. Ah Zheng, would you be willing to marry into our Lu family?”
“…”
Fu Dezhen hadn’t recovered from the huge shock when Lu Wangxin slowly spoke again.
“At that time, the first child you have with Lili must have the surname ‘Lu’. If you continue to have a second or third child, they can have the surname ‘Fu’. This is the only condition for marrying into our Lu family.
“As for other matters, you and Lili can discuss among yourselves. Grandpa is old now and unable to manage many things anymore.”
Fu Dezheng felt a bit embarrassed as he pursed his lips.
Under the bright lights, it could be seen that his ears had turned red.
In such a short period of time, Chairman went from initially agreeing to his marriage with Miss to suddenly bringing up other issues and leaving it to him and Lili to discuss…
In this situation, how should he respond?
“You don’t need to worry too much, Ah Zheng.”
Seeing the young man seemed embarrassed, Lu Wangxin’s expression softened quite a bit, and he sincerely expressed his thoughts.
“From the moment I first laid eyes on you, I knew you were a resilient, upright, and kind-hearted young man. I feel particularly reassured to entrust Lili and the entire Lu family to you. I believe that you two being together will bring happiness and joy.”
Being able to receive such pure trust from the old man also touched Fu Dezheng’s heart.
Perhaps in the future, Fu Dezheng could also have a family of his own, a home that truly belongs to him…
“Grandpa, I agree to marry into Lu family!”
Fu Dezheng no longer hesitated. His expression was formal and sincere, and Lu Wangxin couldn’t help but nod in satisfaction.
Lu Wangxin was relieved, thinking that his granddaughter’s vision has finally improved, pleased that she was able to choose such a reliable man.
“However, Grandpa, can we keep it a secret from Miss for now?” Fu Dezheng had his own plans in mind.
Lu Wangxin understood with just one glance, and he chuckled. “Of course, I can do that. I just hope that on my 80th birthday, we can publicly announce the good news of you two.”
