Gu Hai took two sets of clothes out of the bag, one he handed over to Aunt Zou and the other to Bai Han Qi. He then said in a clear voice, "These are the clothes that we had specially made for you. You can wear them to attend the wedding ceremony. Why don't you try them on and see if they fit?"

A cheerful expression settled on Aunt Zou's face, "Aiya! It's still the kids who know how to take care of us ah! I was just worried about not having any clothes to wear when the day came!"

Bai Luo Yin handed another bag to Aunt Zou, "There is some jewelry in there. Have a look and see if you like them or not!"

Aunt Zou was so touched that she did not know what to say, "Just look, you both spent money again."

After she said that, she rushed to her room to try on the clothes.

Having been silent for a while, Bai Han Qi finally snorted and laughed. "The older she gets, the more she wants to show off..."

Bai Luo Yin looked at Bai Han Qi, who still wore the same unchanging set of clothes that he had for the last decades or so: a sleeveless vest, large pants, sandals... he couldn't help but to say, "Dad, you should also try these clothes on to make sure they fit. If they don't, we can have them altered."

Bai Han Qi waved his hand, "I don't want to, it's too hot."

"If it's hot, how come you didn't turn the air conditioner on ah?"

Now that Gu Hai mentioned it, Bai Luo Yin finally took notice of the temperature in the room. When they entered, he had thought that the reason he was sweating profusely was because of having walked up the stairs. But now, he realized that the room was actually really hot— unnecessarily hot.

With a palm-leaf fan beside him, Bai Han Qi would rather use his own hands to fan himself than willingly spend money on the electric bill.

Seeing that, Gu Hai suddenly felt ashamed.

"Alright, dad. I will go with you to try the clothes." Bai Luo Yin's voice broke the awkward atmosphere.

Once they were in the room, Bai Luo Yin helped Bai Han Qi change into the new pair of shoes before he straightened up his pants and carefully buckled up the belt. Bai Han Qi looked down at him and ruffled his hair affectionately.

"Son, dad has been wanting to ask you. Between the two of you, who is marrying who ah?"

Without lifting his hand, Bai Luo Yin continued on to tie the shoelace and said, "There won't be such a division in our marriage. We are getting married with equal status."

"Exactly, that's how it should be. We are not worse off than his family or anything. When it comes to marriage, you cannot yield... This a matter that will last a lifetime. Although dad has always sided with Da Hai, when it comes to really urgent and important matters, dad's heart will nevertheless be tied to yours. There is still a long, long road ahead for the two of you. Remember dad's words, no matter who was or will be wronged, don't wrong yourself."
