Bai Dalang glanced around, seeing no one else except them, and then coughed lightly, saying in a low voice, "Of course I want to, but it's just the rules..."
Manbao said, "It's not a rule that must be strictly followed, otherwise how did you have dinner together last night?"
"We didn't sit together, there was a screen between us, separating the male and female guests," Bai Dalang defended, "I could only see her hair."
Bai Shan said, "Just answer if you want to see her or not. It's just a meeting, not asking you to do anything inappropriate. Besides, they say it's not good to meet before the wedding, but that's on the eve. You've still got a long time before your wedding."
For example, no one told him and Zhou Man that they couldn't meet as an engaged couple. Instead, they enjoyed more freedom after the engagement, even holding hands in public, and no one found it improper.
