Duan Ze gently rubbed Chen Niannian's little hand and nodded with a smile, "Okay."

After the two finished their sweet talk, the family ate their meal in harmony.

As the meeting was drawing to a close, Duan Ze said, "Uncle Chen, when do you have some free time? How about I arrange for our two families to meet and discuss the wedding arrangements?"

Shen Zongbo: "It depends on your schedule. Your aunt and I are available anytime."

He Yan also smiled and said, "This has finally put my mind at ease. Your uncle and I share the same opinion. You two can decide what to do."

Duan Ze nodded and said, "Okay, I'll arrange a time and have Niannian tell you."

Shen Niannian's face turned even redder, and she was now more beautiful than a flower. Duan Ze couldn't help but feel a surge of desire and couldn't help but hold her little hand even tighter.

That concludes the discussion of major life events.

Duan Ze led Shen Niannian for a walk in the Shen family's back garden to digest their food.

Today the weather was neither sunny nor rainy, and a gentle breeze made it quite cool.

Duan Ze felt very comfortable.

Shen Niannian: "Brother Duan, do you really want to marry me?"

Duan Ze didn't understand why Shen Niannian would ask such a question at this point, but he answered seriously.

"real."

"Niannian, before I met you, I thought I was destined to grow old alone..."

As he spoke, Duan Ze couldn't help but laugh.

During his university years, he had a girlfriend for three years. She was three years older than him; he was an undergraduate, while she was a graduate student.

But later their paths diverged, and they went their separate ways. Last year, he heard from a classmate that she had gone to work as a translator at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
