Before the end of Chapter 311—Xie Hanchuan proposes marriage.

Xie Hanchuan, who was tossing and turning at home unable to sleep, vaguely heard voices talking coming from the back mountain and thought something had happened.

They quietly made their way to the back of the mountain, only to find Lin Luoxi secretly having a late-night snack with Lin Yi and the others.

He immediately appeared, looking at Lin Luoxi with a resentful expression, and also at the rows of roasted chickens in the fire in front of Lin Yi and the others.

"Brother Hanchuan, you're still awake? I thought you were asleep, that's why I didn't wake you."

Lin Luoxi showed no embarrassment as when she was caught red-handed. When she saw Xie Hanchuan, she smiled and invited him to sit next to her.

Seeing the poised and elegant Lin Ruoxi, Xie Hanchuan felt less resentful and sat down next to her with a smile.

"Brother Xie, you've come at just the right time. Our roast chicken is almost ready."

Lin Yi and the others naturally knew about Lin Luoxi's relationship with Xie Hanchuan. When they saw Xie Hanchuan arrive, they quickly stood up, gave their seats to Xie Hanchuan, and sat down to the side.

Seeing Lin Yi's keen observation, Xie Hanchuan's last bit of resentment vanished, and he happily walked over and sat down next to Lin Luoxi.

"How can we have such delicious roast chicken without some wine? Should I have someone bring some wine over?" As soon as they sat down, the aroma of roasted chicken wafted over, and Xie Hanchuan tentatively asked Lin Luoxi.

"That's great! It's getting cold, so having some wine to warm up is a good idea."

After Xie Hanchuan's reminder, Lin Luoxi also felt that in this kind of occasion and atmosphere, it would be appropriate to have some drinks to liven things up.

"But I'm telling you now, those of you on duty today should drink less, and not too much. If you cause any problems, I'll punish you." Lin Luoxi was worried that everyone might get too drunk if they got excited later.

Since the old princess came here, Lin Luoxi had never relaxed her guard.

"Understood, thank you, Miss..." Lin Yi and the others were so excited that they immediately answered Lin Luoxi's words in unison, as they not only had roasted chicken and chicken wings but also wine.

"Shh, keep your voices down." Lin Luoxi was genuinely afraid that the noise from the hundred or so people would wake up the sleeping villagers.

"Oh, I'm sorry, miss, we were just too excited." Lin Yi and the others realized they were being too excited and immediately lowered their voices.

Xie Hanchuan had Lin Yi and the others follow him down the mountain to his cellar, where they carried several jars of wine before returning to the mountain.

"Master, I want to go too." Xie Yanli saw Xie Hanchun carrying a wine jar and about to leave, so he immediately stepped forward to block Xie Hanchuan's way.

"You can go if you want, just bring the fried peanuts you made at home." Xie Hanchuan wouldn't let the extra labor go to waste.

Peanuts are the best snack to go with drinks. We just fried a huge pot of them at home today, so it should be enough to eat when we go up the mountain.

"Alright!" Xie Yanli didn't expect Xie Hanchuan to be so easy to talk to today, so he used his lightness skill to fly towards the kitchen.

He knew that Xie Hanchuan kept good wine in the cellar, and he never expected to have the chance to drink it today.

If Xie Yanli knew that the wine he had been longing for was given to Lin Yi and the others without batting an eye, he would definitely feel resentful.

After collecting their belongings, the group quietly returned to the mountain.

"Good wine, good chicken..." Lin Yi and his friends were the happiest tonight, not only enjoying delicious wine but also such tasty roasted chicken wings.

Everyone ate with rosy cheeks and their mouths were greasy.

Sitting not far from Xie Hanchuan, Xie Yanli felt a tightness in his chest as he watched his master being so generous to Lin Luoxi's subordinates. He then took a big bite of a chicken leg in a fit of rage.

He worked himself to the bone running errands for Xie Hanchuan, but he never even got to smell the aroma. If it weren't for Miss Lin today, he probably wouldn't have even been able to taste the wine.

A pair of resentful eyes were fixed on Xie Hanchuan, who was looking at Lin Luoxi with a gentle gaze.

It's estimated that his gaze was so melancholy that even the oblivious Lin Luoxi noticed it.

"Brother Chuan, what's wrong with your subordinate? Did you let her down?" She sounded like a wronged woman, and it was creepy to look at her.

"Ignore him, let's drink." Xie Hanchuan naturally knew why Xie Yanli was looking at him like that. He was secretly overjoyed, but he had to pretend not to care and continue drinking.

At worst, he can just give him two jars of wine when he gets back.

The group ate meat and drank wine until the third watch of the night before finally dispersing.

"Little sister Luo Xi, wait for me at home tomorrow." Xie Hanchuan said this suddenly as he escorted Lin Luo Xi to the gate of the Lin family compound, and then disappeared into the night.

Seeing Xie Hanchuan's ambiguous smile, Lin Luoxi seemed to realize something, and her cheeks suddenly flushed as she went into her own home.

"Second sister, second sister, get up quickly, Brother Hanchuan is here..." Lin Luoxi felt like she had only been lying back in bed for a short while.

Lin Luoning's chattering voice came from beside him. He frowned, opened his eyes, and said, "Lin Luoning, you'd better have something important to do, or I'll throw you out."

"Second sister, get up quickly! Brother Hanchuan has brought so many things, and he's even brought a matchmaker..." Lin Luoning got more and more excited as she spoke, as if the people outside had come to propose marriage to her.

"Huh?" Upon hearing the word "matchmaker," Lin Luoxi immediately jumped out of bed.

"Second sister, hurry up and get ready, come out with me. Han Chuan looks so handsome and dashing today!"

"Sister Ximo, Sister Chuxia, hurry up and help Second Sister with her hair and makeup, make her look beautiful."

When Lin Luoning saw that Lin Luoxi had gotten up, she quickly pulled her to the dressing table and asked Zhao Ximo to do Lin Luoxi's makeup.

After half an hour of fussing, Lin Luoxi was almost asleep when Zhao Ximo, Tang Chuxia, Yang Keyi, and Yang Kexin finally let her go.

"Alright, Miss, take a look and see if you're satisfied." Zhao Ximo handed a mirror to Lin Luoxi.

The beauty in the mirror had an oval face, and her features looked even more stunning because the Yang sisters, Yang Keyi and Yang Kexin, had styled her hair into a flowing cloud bun.

With her fair and delicate skin adorned with a touch of red rouge, Lin Luoxi's face appeared even more stunning, and the hint of heroism between her brows elevated her overall aura.

"Wow, my sister is so beautiful!" Lin Ruoning exclaimed, looking at Lian Xiexi, who had dressed up meticulously. Seeing him stare at her without blinking, she genuinely exclaimed in amazement.

"Second sister, I dare say that after you go out, you will definitely be so captivated by Han Chuan that he will not be able to find his way home."

"Look at what you're saying! It makes me sound like a mountain fairy who's bewitched your brother Han Chuan so much that he can't find his way home."
