Lu Ye propped his elbow on the car door and tilted his head to look at Xie Lin's profile, the corners of his mouth lifting high.
"Honey, stay with your grandpas for a couple of days when you get back. Once I've finished what I'm working on, I'll take you out for some fun."
"Mm."
Xie Lin gave a vague reply without turning around.
Lu Ye sighed inwardly.

But before that, he had to propose. He couldn't
