Falling in Love Online with an Ancient General

Victory was in sight, but Qin Yuchuan discovered he couldn't answer the last question.

He remembered going through all the questions in the question bank, and while he couldn't recall them perfectly, he at least had an impression of them.

How come he encountered eleven questions he had never seen before?

At this point, Qin Yuchuan could only guess randomly. As expected, the screen showed that he had failed the exam.

Upon leaving the exam room, Qin Yuchuan saw a WeChat message from his Coach.

[Coach: Mr. Qin, did you pass the exam?]

[Qin Yuchuan: No.]

[Coach: What was your score?]

[Qin Yuchuan: 89.]

[Coach: ... You can take this written test twice. Go take it again, don't rush, take your time.]

[Qin Yuchuan: Okay.]

Qin Yuchuan decided to review the questions outside the exam room. Only then did he realize that the question bank had been updated, and the unfamiliar questions from the exam were all in the updated set.

After going through the few dozen new questions, Qin Yuchuan entered the exam room again.

With the experience from the first attempt, Qin Yuchuan breezed through the second attempt, passing with a perfect score.

Seeing "Exam Passed" displayed on the computer screen, Qin Yuchuan breathed a sigh of relief. He signed out and left the exam room.

He then reported his score to the Coach and was told he could start driving practice.

Since he had nothing else planned for the day, he decided to go practice driving, aiming to get his license as soon as possible.

...

When the time came for the agreed meeting between both sets of parents, Feng Qingyi brought the clothes she had specially prepared for Xuanyuan Xi to the General's Mansion.

Initially, she thought her usual attire would be fine, but considering they were going to her world, Xuanyuan Xi decided to let Feng Qingyi prepare a suitable outfit for her.

Looking at Xuanyuan Xi in a blue long dress with a shawl, Feng Qingyi was a bit stunned.

"Qingyi, how do I look?" Xuanyuan Xi asked.

Feng Qingyi praised, "Auntie, you look absolutely stunning in this outfit. I think it's perfect!"

"But is my hair not quite right?" Xuanyuan Xi inquired.

Feng Qingyi thought for a moment, "The hair would look great pinned up with a hairpin."

"Wouldn't that seem not formal enough?" Xuanyuan Xi felt this was an important occasion and shouldn't appear too casual.

Feng Qingyi smiled and said, "Auntie, we don't have so many formalities where we're going. You already look very formal like this. Yuchuan is waiting for us outside!"

"Alright, I'll choose a suitable hairpin." Xuanyuan Xi carefully selected a golden hairpin from her jewelry box and pinned up her hair.

After everything was ready, Xuanyuan Xi took the gift box and accompanied the couple to the villa.

Xuanyuan Xi, visiting a strange world for the first time, remained very calm, showing no signs of panic.

At this moment, in the reserved restaurant, Feng Zhixing and Nan Yin had already arrived.

Feng Zhixing looked at his phone, "It's about time, why aren't they here yet?"

"We agreed on six o'clock, it's only ten past five now. Why are you so anxious?" Nan Yin said.

Feng Zhixing: "I'm just nervous. In the blink of an eye, they've grown up, and now they're getting married and starting their own families."

"Yes, time flies so fast. We've been so busy all these years, neglecting them. Now that we can finally slow down with work and have time to spend with them, they no longer need us," Nan Yin sighed.

Feng Zhixing: "Even if they have their own families, they're still our children. No need to be so pessimistic. Who knows, we might be helping to look after grandchildren before long."

"I don't want to argue with you. When the in-laws arrive, don't say anything inappropriate. They've been dating for a few years now, it's time for them to get married. Don't say anything to spoil the mood," Nan Yin cautioned.

Feng Zhixing resigned, "I know, I understand the situation. When have I ever been unreliable?"

Feng Qingyi brought Qin Yuchuan and Xuanyuan Xi to the restaurant.

Feng Zhixing and Nan Yin quickly stood up. Both parties introduced themselves and then sat down.

Feng Qingyi had been worried they might not have much to talk about, but to her surprise, Nan Yin and Xuanyuan Xi soon started chatting away, getting along very well.

Feng Zhixing was also discussing housing and future settlement plans with Qin Yuchuan.

Then everyone started talking about the wedding. Since Feng Qingyi hadn't graduated yet, they all agreed that the couple should first get their marriage certificate, and hold the wedding ceremony after her graduation at a suitable time.

Feng Qingyi had already explained some specific situations to Feng Zhixing and Nan Yin, so the dinner went very harmoniously.

After the meal, Xuanyuan Xi presented the prepared gifts and the betrothal gifts list to Nan Yin.

Nan Yin opened the list and was stunned. Although she could tell from the conversation that Xuanyuan Xi wasn't from an ordinary family, the betrothal gifts seemed excessive.

The list included various gold and silver jewelry, precious tea, porcelain, and even rare medicinal herbs she had only heard of by name.

"Because it's not very convenient for us to come and go, we've only brought this small gift today. Yuchuan will deliver the betrothal gifts later. Please keep this list for now," Xuanyuan Xi said calmly.

Nan Yin recalled Feng Qingyi mentioning that their family was in the antique business. She had been skeptical before, but now, seeing this list, she believed it.

"In-law, these betrothal gifts..."

Before Nan Yin could finish, Xuanyuan Xi spoke up.

"Is it not enough? We can add more! I'm not very familiar with the customs here, so I prepared according to our traditions."

Nan Yin quickly shook her head, "It's enough, more than enough!"

She wondered what kind of customs these were. An ordinary family would go bankrupt preparing such gifts.

"That's good then. If there's anything we've overlooked, please forgive us. We'll take our leave now," Xuanyuan Xi said.

Qin Yuchuan also bid farewell to Feng Zhixing and Nan Yin before leaving with Xuanyuan Xi.

In the restaurant, Nan Yin handed the box to Feng Zhixing, "Look, it's full of jade ornaments, each incredibly valuable. We'll need to prepare a substantial dowry for her, or we'll lose face."

Feng Zhixing looked at Feng Qingyi, "They've provided a gift list, why didn't you inform us in advance?"

"...I didn't know about this either!" Feng Qingyi spread her hands.

Nan Yin: "You'd better start preparing Qingyi's dowry. We can't appear too shabby."

Feng Zhixing took out the household register from his briefcase, "I'll start preparing the dowry and try to have it ready before your wedding ceremony. Here, take this household register."

"Dad, why are you so agreeable this time?" Feng Qingyi took the household register.

Feng Zhixing sighed, "Well, it's what you want! Considering these betrothal gifts, selling you off seems quite worthwhile."

Feng Qingyi punched Feng Zhixing lightly, "Hmph!"

"I'm just kidding. I still need to prepare your dowry. You should head back now, and remember to let us know when you get your marriage certificate."

"I know. I'm leaving then. You two should head back early too!" Feng Qingyi took the household register and hurried off.

Feng Zhixing: "Look at her, so eager. It's hard to watch."

"Come on, isn't it good that she's happy? Besides, they'll be living in the Capital City, we can see them anytime," Nan Yin said.
