By lunchtime, Bai Yongqiang and his wife indeed brought up the matter.
"Xiaobai, we know that there aren't many people left from your side of the family, so this doesn't need to be a grand affair. You young people have your own ideas, as long as you get the marriage certificate, you can have a honeymoon later even without a banquet."
Li Yulan's words weren't negotiating with Jiang Xiaobai at all; it was more like an ultimatum.
Bai Hui'er said, "Mom, it's not possible for now."
"Why?" Bai Yongqiang and his wife didn't expect their own daughter to oppose.
Bai Hui'er said, "The school has already arranged for me to study abroad."
"For how long?" Bai Yongqiang asked.
Bai Hui'er said, "Just like your school, only a year and I'll be back."
If the duration were too long, her parents would surely not agree. A year was just the right time—neither too long nor too short.
