Bai Chengxi had lived for over thirty years and had never felt as nervous as he did now. Having just received a call from Zhuo Yuqing that her mother wanted to meet him, he became somewhat restless.
Bai Chengxi was accustomed to grand occasions; he had attended many major award ceremonies, surrounded by hordes of people, never frowning before hundreds of cameras. But now, just facing the prospect of meeting his mother-in-law made him feel uneasy.
He had prepared the bracelet he bought earlier but suddenly felt it seemed a bit insubstantial, so he went out and bought an expensive handbag as he remembered Zhuo Yuqing mentioning her mother liked collecting these bags.
Everything was ready, and Bai Chengxi went to the agreed-upon coffee shop early. While he was waiting, he visited the restroom twice to adjust his clothes and hair in the mirror until he was satisfied.
