The office was quiet except for the soft hum of the computer towers. Looking at Su Wanqing's downcast eyes and flushed cheeks, Shen Nian'an could no longer suppress his emotions. He took a deep breath and mustered his courage to say, "Wanqing, I have something to tell you."

Su Wanqing looked up and met his sincere and ardent gaze, her heart pounding involuntarily. "You... what do you want to say?"

"From the first time I saw you at the math competition, I felt you were special." Shen Nian'an's voice trembled slightly, but was unusually firm. "Later, when we worked together at the factory, I discovered that you are not only smart and kind, but also exceptionally responsible. Discussing problems and solving difficult issues with you is the happiest thing for me. Wanqing, I like you. Will you be my girlfriend?"

After saying this, Shen Nian'an looked at Su Wanqing nervously, his palms slightly sweaty. He was afraid of being rejected, afraid of ruining their current relationship, and even more afraid of losing her.

Su Wanqing's cheeks flushed instantly, her heart pounding as if it would leap out of her chest. Looking at Shen Nian'an's nervous yet expectant eyes, memories of their time together flashed through her mind: the tacit understanding when discussing math problems, their collaborative efforts in solving work challenges, the chrysanthemum tea he prepared for her, his focused concentration while working late into the night… These scenes played back in her mind like a movie, and feelings had already taken root in her heart.

She gently bit her lip, raised her head, her eyes glistening with tears, yet with a resolute smile: "Chen Nian'an, I like you too. I'm willing to be your girlfriend."

Shen Nian'an was stunned, as if he couldn't believe his ears. It wasn't until he saw the sincerity and smile in Su Wanqing's eyes that he reacted, and a huge joy welled up in his heart, like the brilliant blooming of flowers in spring. He reached out and carefully took her hand; her hand was warm and soft, trembling slightly.

"Wanqing, thank you!" His voice choked with emotion, yet filled with happiness. "I will definitely treat you well and won't let you down."

Su Wanqing nodded gently, a sweet smile on her face. Outside the window, the moonlight, like water, spilled onto the office floor, gentle and romantic. Two young hands clasped tightly together, as if holding onto each other's future.

After the order was successfully delivered, Shen Nian'an couldn't wait to tell his parents the good news, and even more so, he wanted to bring Su Wanqing home to meet them. He knew that his parents had always hoped that he could find a like-minded, kind, and outstanding girl, and Su Wanqing was just that kind of person.

That evening, Shen Nian'an specially prepared a table full of dishes. When Lin Wanqiu and Shen Tingzhou came home from work, they were somewhat surprised to see the table laden with food. "Nian'an, what day is it today? Why did you prepare so many dishes?" Lin Wanqiu asked with a smile.

Shen Nian'an scratched his head, a shy smile on his face: "Mother, Father, I have something important to tell you."

Shen Tingzhou noticed his son's unusual expression, a knowing glint in his eyes. He smiled and said, "What's making you so happy? Tell us quickly."

Shen Nian'an took a deep breath and mustered her courage to say, "Dad, Mom, I'm in love. Her name is Su Wanqing, and she's the daughter of Su Mingyuan, a researcher at the Provincial Academy of Sciences. We met in a math competition, and later we worked together at the factory and fell in love with each other. I want to bring her home to meet you. I wonder if you would be willing?"

Lin Wanqiu and Shen Tingzhou exchanged a glance, both seeing surprise and relief in each other's eyes. Lin Wanqiu smiled and said, "Silly boy, of course we'd love to! We've heard Researcher Su mention his daughter before; he says she's smart, sensible, and excels in both character and academics—a truly good girl. We're overjoyed that you've found such a girlfriend!"

Shen Tingzhou nodded, his tone calm and gentle: "Nian'an, you've grown up and have your own thoughts and choices, which we respect. However, relationships are a lifelong commitment, so you must treat this girl well and not betray her trust. Tell us in advance when you're bringing her home so we can prepare."

With her parents' support, Shen Nian'an felt a weight lifted from her heart, and a bright smile appeared on her face: "Thank you, Dad, thank you, Mom! I'll tell Wanqing tomorrow that I'll bring her home this weekend."

Moonlight streamed through the window into the dining room, illuminating the steaming food on the table. The smiles of the family of three were warm and happy. Looking at his parents' contented eyes, Shen Nian'an felt a surge of gratitude—gratitude for their understanding and support, and gratitude that fate had brought him to Su Wanqing. He knew this was just the beginning of happiness. In the days to come, he and Su Wanqing would work together, supporting each other, not only nurturing their relationship but also contributing to the development of the food factory and the happiness of their family.
