Chapter Seventy-One: The Engagement
"Ahem," Barnett coughed twice and chatted about other topics, "That kid in Laiyang was raised arrogantly by his family, and he had a conflict with you before?" ”
"yes, he doesn't even think much of me right now." Bai Ming said in his mouth, he really didn't take his actions to heart, after all, he was just an eighteen-year-old child.
"Haha, boys, they always want to attract attention, especially in front of people who have a good feeling, they don't know how to express it, so they can only tease others." Barnett seems to mean something else.
Without waiting for Bai Mingluo to think about it, Barnett asked again: "You should be eighteen years old this year, do you have someone in mind?"
Bai Mingluo's mouth opened and closed, and he couldn't help but feel funny: "I can't see that my great-grandfather still likes to be old."
"Naturally, I don't have much to say about others, Mingluo you are so good, of course you still have to fight for my great-grandson," Barnett could see that Bai Mingluo was not such a calculating person, and his words were a little less roundabout, "You also know the situation of the Keira family, no matter what Laiyang says, he is the next master of the family I have cultivated, and if you are engaged to him, I will try my best to cultivate you." ”
This is also a coincidence, Barnett cherishes his talents, and it just so happens that this great-grandson has a little meaning, and he is embarrassed to say that his great-grandfather still has some considerations.
If Bai Mingluo also likes Laiyang, this is a proper win-win situation.
However, Bai Mingluo really didn't have any interest in this eighteen-year-old hairy boy, but Barnett also respected him very much and didn't want to have anything to do with him, so she politely refused: "Thank you great-grandfather for your kindness, but I suffered from this last time, and I don't want to think about this for the time being."
"Is it the Lin family's boy?" Barnett frowned, of course he knew a little about the rumors on Bai Mingluo.
Bai Mingluo pretended to be sad and rubbed the corners of his eyes.
The Lin family is really a scourge. Don't say it, Barnett still can't help but have a little resentment in his heart, in the end, seeing that Bai Mingluo is a little girl, he is an old man and it is not easy to say much, so this matter has been exposed.
The two talked for a long time, until dusk came.
"It's not too early, I'll send you back." Banai deliberately didn't finish it, but he also knew that he couldn't delay Bai Mingluo.
"Great-grandfather stays, I'll go out by myself," Bai Mingluo didn't want him to send himself out so far as an old man, "You should be tired after talking to me for so long, let's rest first." ”
Barnett knew that his status as an elder made Bai Mingluo feel restrained, but he was not reluctant, and called out to the maid next to him: "Lilith, help me send Mingluo out."
Lilith: "Okay old man."
Lilith is a middle-aged woman, dressed as a head maid, thinking that she has won Barnett's trust, and she made a "please" gesture to Bai Mingluo: "Miss Bai, please."
Bai Mingluo waved goodbye to Barnett, and Lilith led the way downstairs.
Taking the elevator to the first floor, Lilith took the umbrella from the shelf, and then went out with a shade for Bai Mingluo.
After all, dusk was approaching, the sun had not yet set, and Bai Mingluo did not refute her kindness.
Just after walking a few steps, Bai Mingluo saw a wave of people on another path, and they had met.
Yue Xinyi walked in front with an umbrella by a white-clothed attendant, followed by Lai Yang and a pale-faced woman, who was talking to Yue Xinyi at this time, her face full of gratitude.
And Bai Mingluo did not hide his footsteps, and naturally he was also noticed by the people over there, Laiyang's eyes lit up slightly when he saw her, and he seemed to have something to say, but because of others, he didn't come.
Yue Xinyi also followed his line of sight, smiling at Bai Mingluo, and his attitude was very friendly.
Bai Ming smiled back, and then asked Lilith, "Isn't that a saint, why is she here?"
Lilith glanced at it, "Mrs. Tim is sick, she should have gone to the temple to hire a healer, but I didn't expect this to come."
"The one next to him is Laiyang's mother?" Bai Mingluo heard it, and couldn't help but look at it twice.
This woman's appearance is not stunning, but she is also a beautiful woman, but she is sick, and she is inevitably a little haggard.
It's Laiyang, who usually looks arrogant when he sees him in school, but he didn't expect that in front of his mother, he was like a cat with only claws, very well-behaved.
"Yes, Mrs. Tim fell ill when she gave birth to Young Master Laiyang, and she couldn't give birth, so her health was not very good later, and she rarely came out to move." Lilith in short.
To say that giving birth to a child is a ghost gate for every woman, whether it is three hundred years ago or three hundred years later, just like the mother of the original owner.
But with the level of science and technology three hundred years ago, there is no guarantee that it will definitely be able to save a pregnant woman with dystocia, Bai Mingluo sighed in his heart, and at the same time was somewhat resistant to giving birth.
After all, she has not had a mother in her two lives, and she doesn't think she can be a good mother.
After encountering it, Bai Mingluo politely went over to say hello.
"Hello Miss Bai." She nodded back.
Feeling that Yue Xinyi's gaze stayed on him, he quickly moved away, and Bai Mingluo was a little inexplicable.
Maybe it's because she's a temple person.
"Madam, you don't have to send it, stay here." Yue Xinyi bowed her head with the woman again and slowly left with her attendants.
"Laiyang, you better go and deliver it for me," said Mrs. Tim and Laiyang next to her, "It must have taken a lot of effort for the Holy Maiden to help me heal my wounds. ”
Laiyang couldn't help but listen to his mother's words, he glanced at Bai Mingluo, and quickly caught up with Yue Xinyi in front.
"This is Miss Bai, I was snub just now, don't blame me." Mrs. Tim said hurriedly.
It was also me who came to disturb her, Bai Mingluo didn't feel anything: "Madame is polite, I'm ready to leave, I just met Madame and came over to say hello."
Mrs. Tim also saw Lilith standing behind her, and said with a smile, "Good boy, come and sit often when you have time."
The two didn't have much to talk about when they first met, and they soon parted ways.
Walking to the gate, Bai Mingluo saw that the spaceship belonging to the temple had just taken off, the saint was gone, and Laiyang was still standing there.
"I saw the spaceship, I don't need to send it, you go back to see your great-grandfather first." Calling Lilith who wanted to accompany her, Bai Mingluo raised his feet and walked towards Laiyang, who was standing at the entrance of the spaceship.
When Laiyang saw her coming, he couldn't help but stand up straight, clasped his hands on his chest and pretended not to care, and asked, "What did your great-grandfather tell you?"
"I didn't say anything," Bai Mingluo looked at him twice, he didn't know what to think, and a smile appeared on his face, "I just want to tell you something." ”
Laiyang blurted out: "What's the matter?"
The girl stepped forward and sniffed into her nose with a slight fragrance of flowers, which made Laiyang can't help but shrink back, but she couldn't retreat because of the spaceship behind her.
