Chapter 51 Proposing to My Only Partner

After the Christmas holiday, the two returned home, rested for a while, and went to Su Qiuling and Jiang Junran's place to celebrate the New Year together.

During the last Chinese New Year, Yu You, who was Jiang Xunzhou's contract partner, felt guilty about Su Qiuling's warm hospitality. He carefully hid his discomfort and left early after only one night on New Year's Eve, using work as an excuse.

This time his mentality had quietly changed. Yu You followed Jiang Xunzhou back to the manor early and stayed there peacefully. He accompanied Su Qiuling into the glass greenhouse and went into the workshop to debug the latest series of perfumes.

When Jiang Xunzhou wasn't handling his work online, he would ask Jiang Junran about something else in the study.

Jiang Junran generously shared with him the secrets to a long-lasting marriage, admonishing him earnestly: "Xunzhou, dietary supplements like sea cucumbers and oysters are only supplementary. As men age, their physical fitness declines. The most fundamental thing is to exercise. A good body is the key to keeping your wife. Don't get so busy with work that you forget to exercise."

Jiang Xunzhou sighed: "I'm still exercising."

"Have you been exercising?" Jiang Junran hesitated. "I've given you most of the supplements I treasure at home, but you're still so... weak?"

Jiang Xunzhou was silent for a moment.

In addition to the passionate period, the two often lose control when they are in love.

If his wife wants it, how can he not give it to her?

It has to be done even if it doesn't work.

"Yes, I'm that weak." Jiang Xunzhou admitted frankly, "Dad, if you have any new supplements at home, please give them to me."

Jiang Junran was in a daze, with a look of shock on his face.

How could this happen?

At the New Year's Eve dinner, Su Qiuling smiled and gave each of her three children a thick red envelope: "In the new year, may you all be smooth and safe."

Yu You accepted it with great joy: "Thank you, auntie."

Su Qiuling liked him and touched Yu You's head with a smile: "You're welcome, we are a family."

Su Qiuling and Jiang Junran couldn't stand up all night, so they asked them to stay up all night and went upstairs to rest early.

Joyful programs were playing on the TV in the living room, and brilliant fireworks flashed from time to time outside the floor-to-ceiling windows, lighting up the night sky.

Jiang Xunzhou and Jiang Qingyan were talking about work. Yu You leaned against Jiang Xunzhou and felt a little sleepy, his eyelids drooping.

"Are you sleepy?" Jiang Xunzhou tilted his head to look at him, "Baby, go upstairs and sleep first."

Yu You swayed and sat up straight: "It's okay, I can hold on for a while."

Jiang Qingyan glanced at the time and said, "There are still twenty minutes until midnight. You guys can go upstairs and sleep first. I'll just stay here and watch over you."

"Okay, let's go to bed first. You should get some rest too."

Jiang Xunzhou didn't bother to be polite with his brother. He held Yu You's hand and led him upstairs.

Yu You was so sleepy that he staggered as he walked. He returned to his room and got under the quilt first. His voice was unclear: "Husband, come to sleep."

Jiang Xunzhou nodded, turned off the lights, went to bed and held Yu You in his arms.

Yu You closed her eyes and nuzzled into his chest, whispering, "Honey, my aunt gave me a big red envelope for the New Year tonight. I saw it, and it seems to be worth 10,000 yuan."

Jiang Xunzhou said: "I told them that we were planning to have a wedding."

Yu You was so frightened that his sleepiness disappeared a little. He opened his eyes and asked, "Huh? Did he tell me that already?"

"As I said, the wedding venue needs to be arranged at least six months in advance, and the schedule must be reserved." Jiang Xunzhou said, "My brother already knows about this and has reserved his schedule for us during that period."

Yu You's cheeks were hot, and he said, "Oh..."

Jiang Xunzhou asked with a smile: "Do you regret it?"

"No." Yu You said honestly, "I just didn't expect us to progress so quickly."

Jiang Xunzhou said, "Go a little slower. I'm afraid one day one of your fans will come and snatch you away."

Yu You laughed: "No way, it's obvious that fans are more accepting of you now."

Ever since he posted a photo of the two of them during the last Christmas holiday, several big fans took the lead in forwarding the blessings, and more and more fans started to support them.

Jiang Xunzhou said: "The acceptance rate has increased, but the number of fans calling you Xiaoyu wife has not decreased."

"Oh, there's nothing I can do about this. Just pretend you don't see it, husband."

"Okay, I can pretend I didn't see it, but last time when we returned to China, your fans yelled this to my face at the airport. How could I pretend I didn't hear it?"

Jiang Xunzhou pinched Yu You's face and said, "You haven't given me the title yet, so let me be the silent husband first."

Yu You kissed Jiang Xunzhou's face flatteringly: "The status is given to me, and you just have to endure the rest."

The two chatted for a while, and the crackling sound of fireworks outside the window suddenly became lively, and the light in the room was also illuminated.

"Is it midnight?"

Yu You excitedly tugged at the corner of Jiang Xunzhou's clothes.

Jiang Xunzhou took out his cell phone and the time on the screen was just past midnight.

Yu You came over and saw it, and said with a smile: "Hubby, Happy New Year."

Jiang Xunzhou lowered his voice: "Baby, Happy New Year."

In the darkness occasionally illuminated by the fireworks outside the window, the two of them kissed lightly and fell asleep in each other's arms.

The dim light shines through the gauze curtains and falls on the bed.

Yu You slowly woke up, her thick eyelashes opened, and her gaze gradually focused on the man in front of her.

Jiang Xunzhou was sleeping with his eyes closed, a few strands of hair hanging down in front of his forehead, his handsome and stern eyebrows were tinged with a soft color, and his high nose bridge was lightly shadowed.

His breathing was steady, his two heavy arms were placed on Yu You's waist, and his embrace was as warm as a stove.

When Yu You thought that the two of them were about to take the next step from engagement, he couldn't help but feel a strange feeling in his heart.

Spending his life with the person he loves was something he had never considered in his previous life.

But when Jiang Xunzhou is substituted into the options, it seems to become a perfect answer.

Yu You smiled with his eyes curved, stretched out his hand, wanting to touch Jiang Xunzhou's face. The moment he stretched out his hand, he noticed something on his right hand out of the corner of his eye, and he let out a light exclamation.

Her slender fingers were as white as jade, and she had been wearing a silver iris ring. The aquamarine inlaid in the center of the flower was crystal clear, reflecting the dazzling light.

Yu You turned the ring and found that the size was just right.

He excitedly pushed Jiang Xunzhou: "Hubby, husband, husband! Jiang Xunzhou!——"

Jiang Xunzhou woke up, his eyes half closed, his voice slightly hoarse with sleepiness: "Baby?"

Yu You put the ring in front of Jiang Xunzhou and asked eagerly, "Husband, is this ring given to me by you?"

Jiang Xunzhou was completely awake, a tender smile flashed in his eyes: "It's not me."

Yu You pinched Jiang Xunzhou's face with both hands and threatened: "If it's not you, then I will hold a wedding with someone else."

Jiang Xunzhou said: "If you find someone else, then I will go and grab the bride."

Yu You was about to come over and bite him, but Jiang Xunzhou, realizing that he had made him angry, smiled and took Yu You's right hand with the ring on it and kissed it on his lips.

He finally admitted, "I put it on you last night to give the baby a formal proposal."

Yu You was stunned: "No, I fell asleep last night and didn't hear anything. Can this still be called a formal proposal?"

Jiang Xunzhou said, "I asked you last night if you were willing to marry me and be in love with me for the rest of your life, and you said yes."

Yu You laughed angrily, pounding his chest with his fist, accusing him: "What do you mean by willing? How can I respond when I'm asleep! You're forcing me to buy—"

Jiang Xunzhou sat up, holding Yu You on his lap, and raised his thin lips: "Okay, I'll ask again."

Yu You blinked, grabbed Jiang Xunzhou's collar with his fingers, began to get nervous, and his heartbeat in his chest quickened.

Boom, boom, boom——

As flustered and impatient as a rabbit that can't find a way out.

Amidst the rapid and heavy heartbeats, Yu You heard Jiang Xunzhou's voice.

"Excuse me, little fish baby in front of me, are you willing to marry me, date me forever, and be my little fish wife?"

Jiang Xunzhou looked at him, his eyes filled with gentle love that was about to overflow.

Yu You's cheeks continued to heat up until they became scorching hot. He murmured softly, "If I say no, you'll come and snatch my marriage away. Then I'll have no choice but to agree..."

Jiang Xunzhou smiled and asked, "Are you so reluctant?"

Yu You hummed: "30% reluctant, 70% willing."

Jiang Xunzhou lowered his head and kissed the corner of Yu You's lips: "What about now?"

Yu You wanted to appear reserved, but the smile that could not be hidden still showed up from the corners of his eyes and eyebrows.

He leaned over and kissed Jiang Xunzhou hard with a "boo" sound: "Now I'm 100% willing!"

Jiang Xunzhou nodded: "I understand. A kiss can increase the willingness to marry by 30%. In order to prevent my wife Xiaoyu from running away from the marriage, I need to consolidate the amount every day before the wedding."

Yu You laughed until tears came out, and Jiang Xunzhou pushed her down on the bed again, holding her chin and giving her a deep kiss.

The lingering and delicate sound of water was heard.

Yu You's slender arms skillfully wrapped around Jiang Xunzhou's neck, and the iris ring flashed dazzlingly between his slender white fingers.

Winter goes and spring comes, and the sun and warmth awaken the dormant animals.

Irises bloom in April and May. The blue and purple bouquets tied with snow-white ribbons are dreamy and romantic, and were posted on the Weibo of both parties at the same time, along with two red marriage certificates.

Jiang Xunzhou posted a photo, tagged Yu You, and captioned it concisely: [My wife Xiaoyu, mine.]

Yu You also posted a photo, tagging Jiang Xunzhou: [He is my boyfriend, husband, and future Alpha partner who will accompany me for life.]

The two's public announcement came without warning, nearly paralyzing Weibo and leaving the comment section in chaos.

[Ah ...

Is today April Fools' Day? No way! Help is actually real!

[Hahahaha what a trendy declaration and ABO setting!]

[Wow, wow, wow, I saw Weibo on the subway on my way home from get off work and burst into tears. Xiaoyu Baby and Mr. Jiang, you must be happy [crying]]

[Xiaoyu, my dear wife, although you are Mr. Jiang’s wife, you are also my wife for life. Don’t worry, I am not here to break up this family, I am here to join this family [dog head holding a rose]]

The two of them were sitting in the car on the way back. Yu You was a little tearful when he read the previous blessings, but he burst out laughing when he saw this one.

Jiang Xunzhou, who was replying to his brother's blessing message, turned his head and asked, "Baby, what's wrong?"

"nothing."

Yu You quickly stepped back, trying to hold back his laughter, fearing that Jiang Xunzhou would see it and get jealous again.

Jiang Xunzhou guessed what the content was from his expression. He sighed softly, then thought of the red book they had just received, and his mood improved a lot: "It doesn't matter. The law only recognizes me as your only partner."

Yu You smiled and held Jiang Xunzhou's hand: "Yes, my only partner."
