Mu Chenze raised the flashlight and shone it on the man's face.

The man covered his eyes with his hands and said helplessly, "Don't shine in my eyes, it's me."

Mu Chenze recognized the voice as Liu Dapeng.

The first reaction was that this guy heard that he was dating Xiaoxuan, and came over to question him in anger.

"Liu Dapeng, what are you doing waiting outside a girl's house so late at night?"

Chu Xuan glanced at Liu Dapeng and asked softly, "Is there something urgent?"

Liu Dapeng first glanced at Mu Chenze, then looked at Chu Xuan, "It's indeed urgent. Open the door and go into the yard to talk."

As they were talking, Chu Xuan and Mu Chenze walked to the door almost at the same time. Liu Dapeng tactfully moved aside so as not to interfere with the unlocking.

After opening the gate, Liu Dapeng wanted to help Chu Feng pull the cart to move the roses, but Chu Feng declined. "Brother Dapeng, I can do it alone. Go talk to my sister and brother-in-law!"

Chu Feng felt that his brother-in-law definitely didn't want Liu Dapeng to touch these two pots of roses.

Liu Dapeng had already heard that Mu Chenze and Chu Xuan were dating, but he was still stimulated by the word "brother-in-law".

Dejectedly responded, "Okay."

Mu Chenze and Chu Xuan asked Liu Dapeng to go to the kitchen to discuss something.

Chu Xuan was about to make tea when Liu Dapeng stopped her, "Don't bother, it's just a few words."

Mu Chenze said seriously, "If there's anything urgent, tell me!"

Liu Dapeng's face flushed red. "I want to borrow money from you two to renovate our house."

In fact, he wanted to borrow money from Chu Xuan, but he didn't expect that Mu Chenze was there too, so he simply said he was borrowing it from the two of them.

Chu Xuan asked casually, "How much do you want to borrow?"

Liu Dapeng held up a finger and said, "One thousand yuan. I'll pay it back within a year. I can write an IOU. I know it's a bit much, but there aren't many people in our village willing to lend money to my family. Just now, the roof of my west room collapsed and almost hit my mother."

Chu Xuan looked at Mu Chenze, as if asking if he agreed to lend it to her.

Mu Chenze nodded to Chu Xuan and asked gently, "Do you have a thousand yuan in cash at home?"

Chu Xuan smiled and said, "Yes. I'll get it."

In Liu Dapeng's eyes, it was like a couple having a conversation.

Chu Xuan went back to the bedroom to get the money, leaving only Mu Chenze and Liu Dapeng in the kitchen.

Liu Dapeng forced a smile, "Congratulations on getting what you wanted. I really admire you! You were able to win over Chu Xuan, who didn't want to get married."

Mu Chenze's lips curled up. "It's not that I'm pursuing her. Xiao Xuan and I are in love with each other. When I proposed to her before, she rejected me because she felt that she was too fat to be worthy of me and she deliberately said that she didn't like me. Now that she has successfully lost weight and has no burden in her heart, our relationship will come naturally."

"You mean, she liked you from the beginning?"

"That's right."

Liu Dapeng asked, "Did you like her at the beginning?"

Mu Chenze felt that this question was a trap, but fortunately he knew how to avoid it. "If I don't like her, can I take the initiative to propose to her? No matter whether she is fat or thin, I like her!"

Liu Dapeng gave a wry smile, then said solemnly, "I'm very grateful to you and her for lending me money today, but I have a few words to say. If you treat her well in the future, I'll silently bless you. If you don't treat her well, I'll fight you for her at any time!"

Mu Chenze raised his eyebrows and said in a positive tone, "Don't worry! I won't give you the chance to snatch her away. Write the IOU!"

"good!"

When Chu Xuan walked back into the kitchen with the money, Liu Dapeng's IOU had already been written.

The money was handed to Liu Dapeng and counted.

The IOU was handed to Chu Xuan.

Liu Dapeng thanked them and left without staying any longer.

Mu Chenze didn't want to leave, so he asked tentatively, "Xiao Xuan, can I stay in Xiao Feng's room tonight?"

Chu Xuan held his forehead with his hand. "How did you remember that? Could it be that you're jealous because Liu Dapeng came to borrow money?"

Mu Chenze looked at Chu Xuan with deep affection in his eyes, "No. He borrowed money from both of us, not just yours. I'm not jealous. I just want to stay at your house tonight."

Chu Xuan could tell that this guy was acting like a spoiled brat.

In his previous life, he had never acted like a spoiled child in front of her, except for occasionally when trying to make his mother happy.

I've used this trick since I started dating...

Chu Xuan said softly, "Wait patiently for a moment. After we get engaged, you can stay in Xiaofeng's room or mine anytime. Just go home tonight, okay?"

Mu Chenze focused on the sentence "It's okay to live in my house."

"Okay! You have to keep your word. If you don't let me live in your house, you'll be a puppy."

"Don't worry! I promise to keep my word."

Here, after getting engaged, you can live in the same room and no one can say anything.

Mu Chenze suddenly said, "Xiao Xuan, how about we get the marriage certificate on the day of our engagement? That's a good day."

Chu Xuan pursed her lips and smiled, "No problem. All up to you."

"You're such a fool! Aren't you afraid to get married with me soon? Now that I've got you, why won't I give you a proper wedding?"

"You're not that kind of person."

"How do you know I'm not?"

"intuition."

Mu Chenze grabbed Chu Xuan's hand and said seriously, "Xiao Xuan, I will never let you down. Wait and see how I perform! I'm leaving! See you tomorrow."

Chu Xuan really couldn't guess how he would react. "Well, I'll go deliver the wontons tomorrow morning."

"good."

Mu Chenze reluctantly let go of her hand and walked towards the courtyard gate.

Chu Xuan saw him out and didn't lock the door until he was out of sight.

I first looked at the roses in the yard for a while before going to wash up.

After Mu Chenze returned home, Qin Mahua and the others were still awake. They were eating melon seeds, talking and laughing in the main room.

"Mom and Dad, Big Brother and Sister-in-law, Xiao Xuan said she wants to buy a fishing boat as a dowry. After we get married, we can rent it out or use it as our own."

When Fu Qing got married, her dowry was not much. When she heard this, she was not jealous, but very happy. She thought this would bring wealth to the Mu family!

She knew very well that if the Mu family was doing well, she and her husband would also be doing well.

Mu Chenfu is a sincere person and is happy for his brother.

Qin Mahua and Mu Qinlao were so happy that they couldn't stop smiling and kept saying yes.

They didn't know that Mu Chenze had some private money in Chu Xuan's hands, and they didn't know that Mu Chenze wanted to use this money to buy a boat for Chu Xuan.

At 6:30 the next morning, Chu Xuan knocked on the Mu family's door, carrying a large basket of raw wontons.

Qin Mahua warmly welcomed her in. When she saw that it was raw wontons, she kept muttering, "Raw, so good, so good..."

There are so many wontons, enough for the whole Mu family to eat.

Chu Xuan had just put down the sieve in the kitchen when Mu Chenze called her into the bedroom.

Qin Mahua covered her mouth and laughed, but did not delay in making the wontons.

Her son and Xiaoxuan got along well, and she was happy too.

As soon as Chu Xuan walked into Mu Chenze's bedroom and closed the door, Mu Chenze held her hand.

"Xiao Xuan, close your eyes. I'll give you a gift."

Chu Xuan did as he was told. "What gift are you planning to give me? I don't want anything that costs money."

Mu Chenze has spent a lot of money on her recently, so he needs to control himself.

Mu Chenze's sweet and warm voice rang out, "Since you don't want a gift that costs money, then I'll give you one that doesn't cost money."
