Unlike here, Yan Qing had already bought things the next day, wearing a formal suit, and arrived at An Xi’s home. Although he planned to tell An Xi’s family himself that An Xi could marry him without worrying about anything. But he seemed to have overlooked that the day he came was exactly a weekend… An Xi had an 80% chance of being at home. And this 80% possibility rose to 100% after he sent a text message to confirm. Standing at An Xi’s doorstep, Yan Qing took a deep breath, adjusted his tie, and carefully pressed the doorbell. The one who opened the door was a very kind-looking middle-aged woman, still wearing a cooking apron. She looked carefully at the formally dressed Yan Qing through the screen door and asked with some confusion: “May I help you?” “Hello, Auntie, I’m Yan Qing, I am…” Yan Qing nervously clenched his fist and began to speak. However, he was interrupted midway by a young boy rushing out from behind the middle-aged woman. The boy was Jiang Xin, who quickly spotted Yan Qing and shouted, “Brother Yan Qing!” An Xi, following Jiang Xin, also saw him at a glance… He he he was wearing a formal suit?! An Xi’s hair was already cut short, into a *hairstyle, and her lacking confidence made her originally want to dress up and show Yan Qing her new hairstyle… At this moment, looking down at her rubber duck pajamas, she blushed and ran away. “Oh, you’re An Xi’s friend!” The middle-aged woman, Li Wan, laughed and quickly opened the door, “Hello, Yan Qing, you can call me Auntie Li.” “Okay, Auntie Li.” Yan Qing obediently called out, completely different from his usual “cool” demeanor. “Huh? A male…” An Cheng walked out from the inner room, heard a bit of conversation, and blurted out his inner thoughts. He laughed and patted his mouth, “Sorry, hello, I’m An Xi’s dad, you can call me Uncle An.” “Hello, Uncle An…” Yan Qing quickly handed over his gift, “Just a small token of appreciation…” “Good child, bringing something over…” Li Wan took it, placed it on the table, and turned to go to the kitchen, “Let me pour you some water…” “No need to trouble yourself, Auntie Li… I came this time for one thing…” Yan Qing pushed up his glasses and said seriously. “What is it?” An Cheng was still smiling, and Li Wan also stopped, looking at him gently. Yan Qing felt warm inside; An Xi’s family was so nice, each seeming very warm. “I’m Yan Qing, currently one year and six months older than An Xi, currently self-employed, with an annual salary of approximately…” Yan Qing stood up, speaking at a steady pace with a sincere tone. He openly shared everything about himself with An Cheng and Li Wan, and after finishing, bowed, “I’m willing to give An Xi everything and want to take care of her for a lifetime… I want to marry An Xi as my wife.” “…” An Cheng and Li Wan were stunned, looking at Yan Qing, not knowing how to respond. “Great! If Brother Yan Qing becomes my sister’s husband… will there be lots of delicious food?” Jiang Xin cheered, as a “little foodie”, he hadn’t forgotten Yan Qing’s cooking skills. “An Xi, what do you think?” An Cheng looked up and asked softly. …An Xi? Yan Qing only then noticed An Xi behind him. She didn’t know when she had stood behind him, quickly changing into a pink casual outfit, having just come out of her room, and hearing Yan Qing’s promise and vow. She didn’t know what expression she should use, because in her previous life, she hadn’t even gotten married before losing her life… But she just felt tears flowing down her face. “An Xi, will you marry me?” Yan Qing took out the diamond ring he had bought long ago from his jacket pocket, knelt on one knee in front of An Xi, looking at her slightly watery eyes, and asked word by word. The person before her was someone who had loved her for two lifetimes without ever changing his heart; probably the person in this world who cherished her the most… He was now looking at her gently, waiting for her response to his love that had persisted for two lifetimes. “I will…” As soon as the words fell, she couldn’t help but throw herself into his arms, crying loudly. Yan Qing also quickly embraced the forward-leaning An Xi, letting her cry in his arms. Two people who knew each other inside and out, even knowing the color of each other’s souls… finally reached this day. An Cheng and Li Wan exchanged a glance and nodded. They had always felt that being together had actually caused great harm to An Xi. But the man before them, who could come to their home so sincerely and make such a promise… they felt he could make An Xi happy.
- Most importantly… An Xi loved him as much as he loved her. Understanding each other, empathizing… such love couldn’t be better.
Chapter Forty-Eight
It is said that Dai Xue currently works in a small enterprise. Although the place is small, there are few employees, and the seniors are very caring towards this “newcomer”. Although the salary is a bit low, she feels comfortable at work and is confident that after a few years of struggle, she can earn the salary she wants in her heart.
Of course, what Dai Xue never expected was that a boy named “Ke Hua”, about her age, had actually started pursuing her…
“Xiao Xue, I just bought coffee, bought an extra cup… for you.
Ke Hua is a typical sporty guy, with a short crew cut, who would break into a silly grin whenever he sees Dai Xue.
“Um… thank you, but… don’t buy it for me next time.”
Looking at the cappuccino in her hand, she wanted to say that buying an extra cup was already unusual, and he even bought a different flavor… she didn’t know where to begin criticizing.
Although Ke Hua was very nice to her… she didn’t really like sporty guys… whenever they were together, she always felt unsure how to interact.
“Bought too much, bought too much… I’ll be careful next time! Hehe.”
He waved and smiled brightly, then went to his workplace.
“…”
Dai Xue sighed; he had been using this excuse for a week.
This small company’s off-work time was around 5:30 in the afternoon, which coincided with the rush hour. Dai Xue carried her bag, considering how to return to school…
“Dai Xue, long time no see! Want to grab a meal together?”
A black sedan slowly glided to her side, the window rolling down, with Yan Jin leaning on the steering wheel. Yes, his first plan was to pick her up punctually every day after work, believing that over time, Dai Xue would eventually be touched!
“Yan Jin? Not today… I have work to go back to.” Dai Xue pointed to her document bag.
Yan Jin’s sudden appearance today wasn’t something she was naive enough to think was just a coincidental greeting.
In her memory, the memories with this uncle were far richer than her current daily life… looking at his face always brought back various past events.
Although unpleasant things had happened, it wasn’t really his fault, and she just wanted to remember the happy moments and continue her life happily.
“Then… let me send you to school! I’m on the way.”
Yan Jin glanced at his watch… Rush hour! Although the road would be congested, he could spend more time with her while improving her impression of him!
“No way!”
A shout suddenly came from behind Dai Xue, and she saw Ke Hua pushing his bicycle and rushing over, patting the bike’s rear seat, “Xiao Xue, I’ll take you! A car like his will definitely be stuck in traffic and unable to move!”
“…”
Dai Xue put her hand to her forehead, feeling things were getting complicated…
An Xi was actually not satisfied with her short hair. The wedding of her dreams when she was young should have been with long, flowing hair… preferably hair down to her waist, and Ye Ling’s hair length completely fulfilled her childhood dream.
