Chapter 176 Visiting Godfather and Godmother 18
Ziyue smiled and leisurely looked at the scenery in the distance.
Xiang Nan held the girl's hand tightly and walked slowly along with her.
The man, who was always cold and indifferent like still water, now showed a bit more warmth and humanity, but of course, only in front of Ziyue.
In front of his subordinates and outsiders, he remained the same calm, deep, and ruthless Fourth Master Xiang.
Outsiders would never have imagined that the famous Fourth Master Xiang would be so worried about his looks fading that he would spend time every night at home taking care of his skin and maintaining his face!
-
The Bai family took the date for their visit to Nan's home very seriously.
"Godfather, godmother, eldest brother, second brother, third brother, this is Xiang Nan. Xiang Nan, these are my godfather and godmother, this is my eldest brother Bai Yumo, second brother Bai Yuqi, and third brother Bai Yuyan."
Today, the Bai family members were all present. Even though they were very busy, they made a point of setting aside a day to see if the man they were interested in each month was truly worthy of her affection and to offer their opinion.
Of course, it also shows respect and importance placed on "Master Xiang".
Xiang Nan greeted everyone politely and calmly, and then presented the gifts he had prepared.
The Bai family members were naturally pleased to receive the gifts they wanted; it was clear that they had prepared them on purpose.
This also shows how much Master Xiang values their meeting and the Bai family.
This is because they value Ziyue, which is why they pay more attention to them, and they naturally understand this.
The expressions on everyone's faces relaxed a bit, but don't think that you can buy them off with just this little thing or this little trick; that's definitely not going to work.
So, after everyone was seated in the living room, the Bai family members took turns probing each other. But was Xiang Nan afraid? Of course not. He remained calm and polite, and his manners were impeccable.
Anyway, Madam Bai is the kind of mother-in-law who gets more and more satisfied with her son-in-law the more she looks at him. Whether it's his appearance, temperament, or background, Master Xiang is a perfect match for Yueyue.
Every glance he gave Yueyue revealed the deep affection within them.
In this relationship, Madam Bai could see that Xiang Nan was the one who had fallen deeper into despair, not Yue Yue.
That put her at ease. No matter what, as long as Yueyue wouldn't get hurt, that was all that mattered.
Then she happily accepted this godson-in-law, went to the kitchen to oversee the food, and took Ziyue with her when she left.
In the living room, only Bai's father, Bai Yumo, Bai Yuqi, Bai Yuyan, and Xiang Nan remained.
The atmosphere instantly turned sour.
Without making a sound, Mr. Bai silently picked up his teacup and calmly took a sip of tea.
Bai Yuyan launched the first attack, "Our Yueyue is only 19 years old this year, not even twenty yet. As far as I know, Mr. Xiang is already 26 years old, right?"
It means, you're getting old, and you're shamelessly dating a younger woman.
Facing south without changing her expression, she said, "Yes, 26 years old, which is the prime of life. Isn't there a saying that older people are more caring? Yueyue just happens to like someone more mature and stable."
It's enough that Yueyue likes him. What's the use of him being younger? He's immature, childish, and we don't have anything in common. It's like taking care of a child. You've just gained a grown-up son. Will Yueyue like him? Definitely not.
Would Bai Yuyan let this go? Of course not. "But, as you get older, you'll age faster. When you go out together, you'll look old and frail, while Yueyue will still be stunning. This..." Bai Yuyan deliberately frowned, then continued slowly, "This doesn't seem like a good match."
"Third Brother, don't worry. Yueyue likes my face, so Xiangnan will naturally take good care of it. Yueyue has prepared skincare products for me, and as for how effective they are, I believe you know, Third Brother, don't you?"
The Bai family blinked. Could they have heard correctly? Maintenance? Skincare? Are they really that dedicated?
They know their third son is meticulous, loves beauty, and enjoys skincare, but isn't it a bit of a rip-off for the famous Fourth Master Xiang to be talking to them about skincare here?
Is it now fashionable for men to focus on skincare and maintenance?
Bai's father, eldest brother, and second brother then glanced at Bai Yuyan, and well, the expression on his face, speechless with frustration, was truly unpleasant.
But to be honest, once they got used to that face, they hadn't really noticed it during this time. The skin was flawless, with no visible pores, and the person seemed to glow.
It looks pretty good, doesn't it?
They all lowered their eyes, seemingly lost in thought.
Should they also start taking care of themselves?
They were all so meticulous about their appearance, and they didn't want to be so rough around the edges. They all secretly decided to roll up their clothes and ask Yueyue for skincare products later. These days, who doesn't love beauty? Who doesn't have a competitive spirit?
As for Bai Yuyan, what could he do? He had used the skincare products Yueyue made before, and he used them as soon as he got them home. The effect was amazing.
He couldn't possibly say that the skincare products Yueyue prepared weren't good, could he? Okay, they are good, that's for sure!
Thinking about how much her skin had improved recently thanks to her skincare routine, and how radiant she looked every day, she couldn't help but touch her cheek and smile.
Hmph, this old man knows how to take care of his skin. He's just as refined and beauty-conscious as me. I guess he has good taste.
Besides, he already called him Third Brother, so I guess he passed the test.
Seeing that the third son had given up, Bai's father and the others exchanged glances and continued chatting with Xiang Nan, as they had more to consider.
Yueyue is an only child, and the Qing family business naturally needs to be inherited by Yueyue. How many people want to make a fuss about Yueyue's marriage? How many people covet her huge family fortune?
Would Master Xiang (Fourth Master Xiang) be willing for his future wife to go out into the public eye and do business? Would she be safe with him? Could he guarantee Yueyue's safety? Could he respect and love Yueyue for the rest of his life?
……
However, their worries and concerns were all dispelled during their subsequent conversation.
They had to admit that he was indeed an outstanding person, excellent in every aspect.
Character, personality, ability, background, appearance... it has to be said that he is indeed a good match for Yueyue.
They knew Yueyue well. She was a person with her own ideas and opinions, bold and daring, and never bound by worldly norms. It had to be said that Xiangnan and Yueyue were a match made in heaven, extremely well-matched.
So, once the food was ready and everyone moved into the restaurant, they were already chatting happily.
Xiang Nan placed the fish meat, which he had removed the bones from, into Yueyue's plate next to him. Looking at the smiling girl sitting beside him, happily eating the fish meat he had given her, a soft feeling washed over him.
Of course, the dining table was only so big, so the Bai family noticed it too. They didn't expect Xiang Nan to have such a considerate side, serving Yueyue food and water, picking out bones and thorns, taking such thoughtful and attentive care that they were even more satisfied.
Mr. and Mrs. Bai exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with satisfaction. It seemed that the happy occasion was just around the corner, and the dowry they had prepared for Yueyue would soon be put to use.
The dowry prepared by the Qing family belongs to the Qing family, and as Yueyue's godparents, they naturally prepared a separate dowry as well.
