As winter turned to spring, An Moxue's studies at Kyoto University came to an end.

During those four years, Director Hou kept his promise to her. While she was still in school, he didn't assign her any major tasks. The tasks she received were all temporary ones that she would leave as a last resort.

During the holidays, he still travels between several countries, doing tasks and making money at the same time, constantly expanding the company's scale and developing underground forces.

Over the course of four years, she dealt with the old powers in Mongolia who were eyeing the An family, either dividing up their territory or suppressing them. Everyone was busy surviving, and no one had the energy or resources to search for the An family's treasures anymore.

At school, the students were busy with their final graduation ceremony. Over the past four years, she had gotten along very well with many of her classmates, but it was a pity that she had never made any like-minded friends like Sophia and her friends. Perhaps it was because she was too busy during her time at school and had very little interaction with her classmates.

However, she didn't care much. Meetings and partings are predestined, and life and death are determined by fate. She believed that there was no need to force anything, and there were still the ancestors!

"Mo Xue, come over for a photo." A classmate called to her.

"Hey! I'm coming." She jogged over.

Old Ma and Aunt Ma also wore brand new clothes today to accompany her through the graduation ceremony. Watching the group of people busily taking pictures, the two said, "That's great."

Old Ma thought to himself, "Yes!"

But there are even better ones!

But why hasn't that brat surnamed Wu arrived yet?

Just as Old Ma was endlessly thinking about Wu Sicheng in his mind, Wu Sicheng appeared.

Aunt Ma nudged Old Ma in the waist, gesturing for him to look to the side.

Old Ma was watching An Moxue and a group of classmates taking pictures with great enthusiasm when he was forced to look away. The little bit of resentment in his heart vanished completely when he saw who it was.

"What a spirit!" Aunt Ma exclaimed, looking at the people who had come over.

Old Ma said defiantly, "Our Mo Xue is just as good, she's more than good enough for him."

Aunt Ma wholeheartedly agreed, saying, "Of course. Otherwise, why would he treat Mo Xue so well? We can't be with her forever, and I really don't want her to get married. Being a wife is nothing compared to the carefree life of being a girlfriend. But Mo Xue said that even if she gets married, she'll live with us." Aunt Ma was delighted just thinking about it.

Old Ma said with some regret, "That's right, it's just that her family background is too powerful, so she can't marry into the family. Otherwise, it would be quite good. If Second Master were here, that would be great. We two are still too weak to be her support. I hope everything goes well for her in the future!"

As the two were talking, Wu Sicheng had already approached. He first greeted Old Ma and Aunt Ma, then, carrying a bouquet of flowers, headed straight for An Moxue.

An Moxue had already seen him and looked at him with a smile. She felt that the way he looked at her was particularly intense today.

When some classmates saw Wu Sicheng arrive, they started teasing, "Oh! An, your fiancé is here!"

"Yes! It's also very romantic, with flowers that are hard to buy."

"Go quickly!"

"Yes! Go quickly!"

She was pushed toward Wu Sicheng, and the atmosphere became quite lively for a moment.

An Moxue stood still, smiling as she watched Wu Sicheng walk towards her.

The man was dressed in a crisp military uniform today, his leather shoes were polished to a shine, and his hat was worn neatly.

He stopped just a few steps away from An Moxue, stood at attention, and gave a military salute. "Comrade An Moxue, congratulations on your university graduation today."

Then she presented the flowers she was holding.

An Moxue took the flower, sniffed it softly, and liked it very much.

Seeing her like this, Wu Sicheng gave her another military salute and continued, "Comrade An Moxue, you are graduating today, and I have come to fulfill my promise and propose to you. I swear on my military uniform that I will dedicate my life to the country, and all the time I have left outside of the country will be devoted to you. I will love and cherish you with all my heart for the rest of my life. Please marry me!"

The crowd erupted in enthusiastic applause and cheers.

"Marry him!"

Marry her!

Marry her!

Students from other classes nearby were drawn by the commotion and looked over.

Wu Sicheng looked at her nervously, waiting for her response. An Moxue waited for him to take out the ring, but he simply saluted and looked at An Moxue without making any further moves.

An Moxue waited for a while, and he still saluted her, his expression more serious than ever before.

He hesitated for a moment before taking out the ring, so she had to remind him, "Didn't you propose without a ring?"

"Oh~ Oh~" He suddenly realized and pulled a ring out of his pocket. It was an enormous diamond ring, cut from a rough diamond he had collected. He had been preparing it for several years, just waiting for the day he could wear it on An Moxue's hand.

An Moxue was extremely satisfied with his unusually naive appearance, and the corners of her mouth unconsciously turned up. She reached out her hand, and Wu Sicheng's tense body visibly relaxed. He reached out his hand, tried a few times, and finally put the ring on her finger.

His trembling hands betrayed his nervousness, which made An Moxue even happier, her chest filled with happiness.

Old Ma was taking pictures nonstop with his camera, while Aunt Ma urged him, "Take more pictures, so we can remember them."

Old Ma said, "I took pictures, I took pictures. I started taking pictures as soon as Mo Xue stood still. They were all candid shots, no mistake. Trust me, I've taken a lot of pictures over the years."

Aunt Ma said discontentedly, "Just listen to me, don't talk or get distracted. What if the photo doesn't turn out well?"

Old Ma was filled with helplessness, but he still had to obey. "Yes, I'll listen to you." However, he didn't stop taking pictures.

Wu Sicheng had already taken An Moxue's hand, and he couldn't suppress the smile on his face. He felt a little lightheaded, as if it were all unreal.

He whispered to An Moxue, "Moxue, pinch me."

An Moxue asked suspiciously, "What?!"

Wu Sicheng urged, "It feels like a dream. Quick, pinch me to wake me up."

An Moxue couldn't stand his silly look and felt that her refined boyfriend was away on a trip, so she pinched his arm hard.

"Hiss!" Wu Sicheng couldn't help but cry out in pain.

An Moxue was satisfied and asked, "Are you awake now? Has your travel-induced mental state returned? Does it feel real?"

Wu Sicheng nodded slightly. He dared not say that he still felt very lightheaded, but the real pain made him feel much more at ease.

He looked at her, as if she were the only one in his eyes, and said, "Mo Xue, I'm so happy. I'm finally going to marry you. From now on, your home will have me, and my home will have you. We'll form a family together. Even—and I mean hypothetically—if something happens to either of us, we'll be on the list of families to be notified. I used to be so afraid of that..."

"Don't say anymore, I understand." She stopped him from saying what he was about to say, and said, "Today is a double celebration, let's only talk about the happy things, okay?"

"Okay." I can't refuse any of your requests, except for matters concerning the country. I'll do as you say.
