Chapter 1651 Straightforward request
Xia Shiyun looked at him with an innocent look and felt unable to communicate, so she could only glar at him helplessly.
After being stunned, the others burst into laughter. The second brother Xia Yunfeng smiled and nodded in agreement: "Richard, you are right, this is a happy event!"
Xia's father was also a little unresponsive. It was not until Xia Chuqi lowered his head and whispered to his father beside him: "Dad, actually Feng Xun and I asked before that Richard had been pursuing his sister for a long time and really planned to marry his sister. However, the proposal failed..." Xia's father understood what happened. He couldn't help but look at Richard beside Xia Shiyun for a few more glances, and asked thoughtfully: "Richard, I heard that you and Xiaoyun met in a performance?"
"Yes, I fell in love with her at first sight. Until now, I still remember that she was playing the piano in a silver-gray long skirt on the stage that day. It was really beautiful, just like an angel falling into the mortal world and falling into my heart..." Richard said, recalling the scene at that time, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he seemed to be intoxicated! Seeing this, Xia Chuqi burst into laughter, and the other Xia family members couldn't help laughing. He never expected that Xia Shiyun, the third son of the Xia family, who had always been taciturn and cold, would have such a passionate and straightforward partner! "Enough, stop talking..." Xia Shiyun felt a little embarrassed when she saw that her brothers and sisters laughed, and quickly pulled his hand and stopped him in a low voice.
However, Richard did not obey her dissuasion, shook his head and replied seriously: "Wait, I'm not finished yet, I stopped halfway through the words. This is so impolite!"
He said this, and then looked at Xia's father and said with a sincere look: "Mr. Xia, I heard that the rules in your family are the marriage partner of your daughter. You need your consent, so I want to ask you to agree to your daughter Xia Shiyun marry me. I will definitely take good care of her and treat her as the most important person in my life..." Xia's father did not expect that Richard would speak directly and ask him to agree to this marriage, and he didn't know what to say for a moment.
Xia Shiyun was also shocked by Richard's words, and quickly patted his arm and reminded him: "Richard, what are you talking about again?
How long have we been dating? It’s not the time to get married yet. Why did you tell my father about these things?"
Richard smiled slightly, held her hand and defended solemnly: "Of course it is necessary. I will first obtain your father's consent. In this way, when you propose in the future, you cannot reject me with your father's disagreement! When you don't reject me, we can plan the wedding smoothly..." Xia Shiyun was so amazed and crying. Xia's father was moved by his sincere words and nodded and smiled: "Richard, I don't know you enough, but I believe in my daughter's vision. Since she chose you, I think you must have your highlights and will bring her happiness!"
"Thank you for your consent, I will not let you down!"
Richard was overjoyed, as if he was afraid that Mr. Xia would regret it again later. He quickly picked up the wine glass at hand, picked it up and signaled to Mr. Xia, "Father-in-law, I will give you a glass first!"
Father Xia nodded slightly and raised the wine glass in his hand.
When the second brother Xia Yunfeng saw Richard's toast boldly, he couldn't help but smile and joke: "Richard, since you have to toast according to our rules, you should also know that the rules for toasting here are all sips, and you have to drink a whole cup in one breath!"
"Second Brother--" Xia Shiyun frowned slightly and looked at her second brother Xia Yunfeng with some resentment.
Xia Yunfeng chuckled and said, "Why, third sister, you haven't married him yet, are you going to help your future husband stop drinking?"
Xia Shiyun's face turned red after saying a word, and she couldn't say anything more.
Richard patted Xia Shiyun's back of her hand comfortably and said with a smile: "Your brother is right. Of course I have to follow your rules-" When he said this, he picked up the glass of red wine in his hand, raised his head and drank it all in one breath.
“Good alcohol!”
Seeing that he didn't frown, Xia Yunfeng drank all the whole glass of wine. Even if it was just red wine, he smiled and praised it. Then he picked up the wine glass in front of him and drank the glass of wine in his hand.
Richard laughed happily, and saw that Xia’s father seemed to have just taken a sip, and asked with a smile: “Why don’t you drink the future father-in-law?”
"I took a small sip..." Xia's father met his doubtful gaze, knowing that he was doubting that if he had not finished the glass of wine, would he be not satisfied with him enough?
Xia's father thought for a moment, but he picked up the wine glass again.
Seeing this, Xia Chuqi quickly whispered: "Dad, you are in poor health. Just a small sip is enough. Don't really finish it in one breath. I'll explain to you to Richard..." "It doesn't matter. It's rare to be so happy today. It's really worth drinking and celebrating!"
Xia's father shook his head and smiled faintly, raised the wine glass in his hand, and drank all the remaining red wine in one breath.
Richard then applauded and laughed happily. Xia Shiyun looked at him as if she was planning to make another second cup, and quickly persuaded: "Okay, Richard, just one cup is enough to toast!"
"Yes, Richard, second brother, this red wine is a treasure that Feng Xun asked the housekeeper to take out from the wine cellar. It is of great value. You can drink it in one breath and don't even taste it slowly. Wouldn't it be too wasteful?"
The fifth sister Xia Shiyu also quipped with a low smile.
Hearing this, Richard quickly poured the second cup and tasted it slowly, showing an enjoyable expression, and praised Feng Xun seriously: "It is worthy of being a treasured wine. It tastes mellow, and it will leave a lingering fragrance when you drink it... But I can't take yours for vain. You might as well sell this bottle of wine to me at the market price, so that I can feel at ease!"
Feng Xun laughed silently, shook his head and smiled: "Mr. Richard, the good wine treasured in my manor cellar is never sold, and it will only be given to people who are qualified to drink!"
Richard was stunned, with a little confused expression.
Xia Chuqi also took Feng Xun's words and explained with a smile: "Richard, what he meant is that these wines were given to relatives and friends. Since you will marry my third sister in the future and be a family with us, it is also necessary for us to drink these wines. How can we still sell them to our family?"
