He Yubai was in the center of the crowd. Even if Jiang Mian was stupid, she knew that he had gone through all this trouble to confess his feelings.

And the person she's confessing her feelings to seems to be herself.

He Yubai knew how to attract attention, and seeing so many people around, Jiang Mian was a little embarrassed to step forward.

From a distance, she feigned anger and asked him, "What on earth are you up to?"

He Yubai's outstretched hand was still open, and his smile remained: "Come here, I'll tell you."

"But tell me first before you go."

Jiang Mian was in a state of confusion; this was the first time she had participated in such a confession activity.

Moreover, the person being confessed to was herself.

This made her feel strange; she was a little excited, a little nervous, and a little resistant.

"Mianmian, I've brought the betrothal gifts you requested."

He Yubai looked helpless, his tone as if he were coaxing a child.

Upon hearing this, the crowd erupted in a roar of excitement.

I thought it was a confession scene, but it turned out to be a marriage proposal scene!

Ignore the shocked expressions of the onlookers around them.

Jiang Mian was quite surprised. A bride price?

So this person is all set up so quickly? Did they disappear for a few days to go to the bank and raise money?

Seeing her in a daze, he stopped and didn't move forward.

Helpless, He Yubai turned to those around him and said, "My girlfriend seems to be frightened by this surprise. Is there anyone who can help me?"

Jiang Mian, who was in a daze, suddenly felt someone pushing her forward. When she came to her senses, she saw several girls' faces.

They each said, "Don't be nervous, miss. It's just a marriage proposal, what a wonderful surprise!"

"That's right, that's right. This handsome guy is still waiting, and everyone's watching. Let's not be shy, let's be more outgoing."

"Sister, I'm so envious of you. Your fiancé is handsome and rich, and he even puts in the effort to arrange a place for your confession."

"Saying one thing and meaning another isn't good, you know. Let's bravely step forward and enter the grave of marriage... Oops! Sorry! I misspoke, I meant to wish you all a happy marriage!!!"

A cacophony of voices rang in her ears. Jiang Mian retorted, "We're not even boyfriend and girlfriend yet, it's too early to talk about marriage."

"What the heck? You two got married first and then fell in love?!"

"Oh my god! This is so romantic!?"

Jiang Mian: "...?"

romantic? ? ?

We told you all to read more books, but instead you all just grab onto those mindless, industrially saccharine novels. You're doomed!

In the blink of an eye, Jiang Mian had been pushed in front of He Yubai.

The other girls have also completed their mission and can now retire gracefully.

The petals at my feet look very delicate and precious.

Jiang Mian felt incredibly guilty stepping on it like that.

Once the little money-grubber's thoughts started running wild, she felt a bit annoyed.

They blamed He Yubai for being too extravagant and wasteful; they should have just given her the cash instead!

Who knows, she might get so excited on the spot that she'd just say yes, whether it's a confession or a marriage proposal.

The moment their eyes met, Jiang Mian was about to speak.

He Yubai had already knelt down first, which startled her so much that she hurriedly tried to help him up: "We are of the same generation, don't kneel down to me like that, it will shorten your lifespan!"

The crowd burst into laughter, secretly wondering if all pretty girls have a goofy side.

He Yubai looked up at her, his expression also complex, and gave a slight nod.

Jiang Mian then noticed, oh, it was kneeling on one knee, not both knees.

She smiled shyly and said, "Sorry, sorry, this is the first time I've been confessed to like this, my mind is a little muddled."

Although it was a bit of a joke, He Yubai was overjoyed to hear this "first time being confessed to".

He secretly vowed that not only this time, but for many more times to come, he would have many more firsts with Jiang Mian.

After the joke, the crowd quieted down, leaving the stage to the two of them.

To be honest, this was He Yubai's first time confessing his feelings, and he was actually more nervous than ever.

After pausing for a long time, he slowly spoke: "Mianmian, I have completed the task you gave me that day."

He picked up a stack of documents from the ground and handed them to Jiang Mian: "I've always been bad with words. Since I've never been in a relationship, I don't know how to say nice things, so you don't have to worry about me cheating or having an affair."

A few chuckles rippled through the crowd; it was indeed a very straightforward confession from a straight man.

However, some people who still hold beautiful fantasies about love had their eyes redden and seemed to have tears welling up when they saw this scene.

Jiang Mian held the stack of documents and asked in confusion, "What's this?"

"This is for you," He Yubai said nervously. "You said you wanted a thoughtful betrothal gift, I don't know if you'll like it?"

Jiang Mian turned to a page; it was a contract outlining the terms and conditions for acquiring land, land that belonged to her hometown, a small town.

She seemed to sense something, and when she looked at He Yubai again...

The other party was also observing her expression: "I have always kept my father-in-law's matter in mind. As for that orchard and those lands that they don't want to sell, I have already discussed it with my parents and we have taken over and bought them all in the name of the He family."

He spoke casually, but in reality, it was the He family who did the other party a personal favor.

In business, favors and reciprocity are something you can always repay next time.

Jiang Mian knew that although he made it sound so simple, such a large project must involve a lot of complicated negotiations.

"Are your aunt and uncle really just going to let you do whatever you want?"

“I told them about you, and that I’m pursuing you,” He Yubai said with a smile. “After all, pursuing a wife always requires some action. They saw that I was serious and became very curious about you.”
