Xiao Baili accompanied Xi Rui to choose stones. The two of them walked around again, and when they were tired, they went to the teahouse to drink tea.

Since there were only two of them, they didn't choose a private room, but a location in a corner of the lobby on the second floor.

Xi Rui pushed a plate of tea in front of Xiao Baili, "This is the new mung bean cake, you might like it."

Xiao Baili picked up a piece, tasted it, nodded with a smile, "Brother Rui knows me very well!"

This mung bean cake is not too sweet, it is soft and glutinous and delicious.

Xi Rui smiled and counted a bunch of them, "That means you don't like sweet things very much. You like..."

Because he likes Xiao Baili, he has always paid attention to her preferences.

Xiao Baili took a sip of tea and asked with a smile: "Besides food, does Brother Rui know what else I like?"

Xi Rui knew it was time for him to express himself, "You like..."

He talked about Xiao Baili's favorite colors, what paintings he likes to paint, what hobbies he has, etc.

Xiao Baili was surprised when he heard what he said, obviously she didn't expect that he knew her so well.

She smiled and asked: "Brother Rui, why do you know me so well?"

Xi Rui was stunned by her question and said a little embarrassedly: "You are Lao Xiao's sister."

Xiao Baili raised her eyebrows, "Just because of my brother?"

Xi Rui glanced at her secretly, "Not entirely."

Xiao Baili thought of the Sixth Prince and Miss Yan today, and didn't want to be so annoying anymore.

She said meaningfully: "Many people have come to my door recently and want to propose marriage to me. Are yours the same?"

Xi Rui was annoyed when he mentioned this, "Yes, I used to look down on me as a dandy, but since I became the dean of the Craftsman Academy, I have become a dandy."

Xiao Baili asked: "Then do you have a suitable candidate for marriage?"

Xi Rui glanced at Xiao Baili again, "I don't like those people, what about you?"

Xiao Baili smiled and said: "Some of them seem pretty good."

Xi Rui became anxious upon hearing this, "Can you not agree to them?"

Xiao Baili looked at him, "Why?"

Xi Rui took a deep breath and said bravely: "Because, because I want to marry you."

Today he heard that many children from aristocratic families accidentally met Bai Li, and there was also a sixth prince who was eyeing her.

I heard that the eldest princess's mother's family also wanted to propose marriage to Bai Li.

He originally wanted to cultivate a relationship with Bai Li and wait until things were smooth before proposing.

But now he suddenly couldn't wait any longer. Regardless of whether those who asked for marriage had a purpose or not, he was unhappy that Baili was coveted.

On his own side, too, there were many people who wanted to marry the Xi family, and he didn't want Bai Li to misunderstand.

"Brother Rui, do you want to marry me?" Xiao Baili deliberately focused on this topic just to wait for his words.

Xi Rui nodded immediately, "Yes, I want to marry you."

There was seriousness and affection in his eyes, "Bai Li, I love you and want to marry you. I will only treat you well in this life."

"I can guarantee that after marrying you, just like Lao Xiao did to Qing Luo, I will never take concubines, let alone talk to other women. Let's live our lives together."

"If you like to eat, I will accompany you to make delicious food."

"If you like to play, I will go sightseeing with you."

Then he added, "Everyone in my family likes you very much, and they all support me marrying you."

Xiao Baili thinks his words are very pleasant. If she likes to eat, she will cook with her. If she likes to play, she will accompany her to visit mountains and rivers. I am afraid that only Brother Rui can do this.

She is not hypocritical, and she doesn't want to hang on to him.

So he nodded with watery eyes, "Okay!"

Xi Rui was prepared that she might be rejected, or that she would go back and ask her family for advice, or that she might have to consider it.

So when he heard her words, everyone was a little dumbfounded, "Ah!"

Looking at his dazed look, Xiao Baili laughed out loud: "Brother Rui, are you stupidly happy?"

"Yeah, I'm so happy that I can't believe it." Xi Rui looked at her excitedly, wanting to confirm again, "Bai Li, have you agreed to my marriage proposal?"

Xiao Baili nodded, "Yes, I agreed."

She said generously and straightforwardly: "Because I also love Brother Rui!"

My sister-in-law said that you have to strive for happiness by yourself, and if you like it, you have to say it out loud.

I believe that people who like her will be as happy as she is when they hear that she likes him too.

Xi Rui's eyes widened, obviously he didn't expect her to say that she was happy with him.

His face turned red all of a sudden, he was completely excited.

He couldn't help but stand up, "I, I'm so happy."

"Bai Li, I will never let you down."

"I, I can't wait any longer. I want to go back now and ask my family to propose marriage."

He really couldn't wait and wanted to let everyone in the capital know immediately that Xiao Baili was going to be engaged to him.

Xiao Baili looked at his stupidity and not only did not dislike it, but also found it cute, "Okay, let's go back first."

Xi Rui nodded, "Okay, I'll take you back first, and then I'll go back."

So the two of them left the teahouse together.

Xi Rui sent Xiao Baili to the door of Xiao Mansion.

He asked with some anxiety: "Bai Li, your family should agree, right?"

Although he has a very good relationship with Lao Xiao and his wife, he is also afraid that they will think that he is a dandy and do not want to marry Baili to him.

He was so nervous that his hands were covered in sweat, "Should I go in first and ask your family?"

Xiao Baili saw his nervousness and worry, and she gave him a reassuring smile, "Brother Rui, you are so kind, how could my family disagree."

Xi Rui touched his nose in embarrassment, "How am I doing? But others say I'm a playboy who can't stand up to the wall."

This is how women from aristocratic families disliked him in the past.

Of course, he didn't bother marrying those people.

Xiao Baili said with serious eyes: "I think you are very good! Your talents in machinery and college management are definitely among the best among the children of the aristocratic family."

"And you know my preferences and will accompany me to do what I like. This is something other young masters from aristocratic families cannot do."

"Besides, so what if you're a dandy? You haven't eaten their rice, and you haven't done anything bad like bullying men or women."

"Anyway, I think you are good. You should be more confident in yourself."

Xi Rui's eyes were full of light and excitement, "So I'm so good in your eyes!"

He felt warm in his heart. Others wanted to marry him, either because of his family background or because he had recently become the dean.

Only Baili truly thought he was good, and agreed to get married because she liked him.

How could this make him not moved and happy, but also cherish it.

Xi Rui no longer deliberately concealed his recent love for her, "Then I will go back now and let my family propose marriage."

Xiao Baili nodded, "Okay, I'll wait for you!"

A big smile appeared on Xi Rui's face, "This is the most beautiful thing I have ever heard."
