Chapter 183 A hasty proposal!

Forget it, there’s only half an hour left anyway. I’ll click on Chi Yu’s avatar and chat for a while, and time will pass quickly.

Great variety shows, the latest and hottest dramas, annoying bosses, endless work...

After chatting about all sorts of things, Yan Ruo heard the sound of packing up outside and realized that it was time to get off work.

The chat ended immediately, and Yan Ru hurriedly picked up her bag and went home happily after get off work.

Driving during the evening rush hour is really a test of one's patience. It only takes half an hour to get to work, but it takes almost an hour to get home from get off work.

At this time, the parking spaces in the community were definitely full. Yan Ru simply parked the car in a parking lot not far away.

I went to the supermarket to buy some fruit snacks, bread and small cakes, and then went home feeling satisfied.

If she doesn't work overtime during this period, she will cook dinner at home with Chi Yu.

But today Chi Yu went on a date and ate alone, so Yan Ruo didn't even have the motivation to cook.

I remembered that I hadn’t finished eating the sweet potatoes I brought from home last time, so it was just right to eat roasted sweet potatoes in the evening, which was convenient and healthy.

It is early winter now. With the wind and rain, I still feel a little cold even though I am wearing a windbreaker.

Yan Ruo hurried upstairs, took out the key and opened the door, but she didn't expect that the lights were on in the house.

She cautiously looked inside and smelled the aroma of food.

"What are you doing peeking at the door? Are you a thief?"

The vigilance in her eyes was instantly replaced by surprise. Yan Ru hurried into the house, put her things on the ground, threw her bag, and walked quickly to Xu Shaoyu.

With bright eyes, he asked, "Xu Shaoyu, why didn't you tell me you were coming?"

Xu Shaoyu raised his hand and touched the top of her head, and said softly, "I deliberately didn't tell you, are you surprised?"

Yan Ruo took a step forward and put her arms around his waist, "What a surprise."

Xu Shaoyu lowered his head slightly and put his head on her shoulder, "I missed you, did you miss me?"

"I miss you, too." Yan Ruo buried her face tightly in his chest, her voice a little muffled.

Hearing the answer he wanted to hear, Xu Shaoyu raised the corners of his lips, kissed the top of Yan Ruo's head, and then slowly spoke.

"After a busy day, let's eat first and replenish our energy."

"Yeah, wait a minute, right away."

Yan Ruo exuded a joyful aura, and her voice became lighter.

She first took off her coat and changed her shoes, then washed her hands before walking briskly into the restaurant.

Looking at the three dishes and one soup on the table, he took a deep breath and said, "They smell so good! I was planning to have roasted sweet potatoes for dinner."

Xu Shaoyu helped her pull out the chair next to her and disagreed, "Although sweet potatoes are healthy, eating only sweet potatoes is not nutritious enough."

"Today, Chi Yu has an appointment, and I don't want to cook alone, so I'll just roast sweet potatoes to save trouble." Yan Ruo sat down and sniffed hard.

"Smells so good. You didn't make these yourself, did you? Are your hands all healed?"

Xu Shaoyu clenched his left fist lightly and said, "That's about it. Just be careful not to pick up any heavy objects."

"Then why don't you cook for yourself?" Yan Ruo's face was full of disapproval.

Xu Shaoyu ruffled her hair and said, "Have someone prepare the ingredients and send the dishes over. It won't be difficult to cook."

Seeing Yan Ruo pulling his arm and looking at it again and again, not looking very happy, he quickly explained.

"Didn't you always say that home-cooked food has a special, home-like taste?"

"Then I must eat more later." Yan Ruo quickly stood up and served two bowls of rice.

The first thing I ate was the braised prawns, and I immediately gave them a thumbs up. "It's delicious, the cooking skills are as good as always."

"If it tastes good, eat more and drink some soup. You've been working hard lately, so you need to replenish your energy."

"Hmm, this soup is delicious too, so fresh." He quickly took a bowl and filled it for Xu Shaoyu. "You have some too."

After eating and drinking to their heart's content and clearing the table, Yan Ruo stretched out on the sofa, glanced at the large bunch of roses on the coffee table, and thought that Xu Shaoyu was now quite enjoying life.

Feeling a little sleepy after eating and drinking, she tilted her head back, narrowed her eyes, and looked very comfortable.

"It's so nice to have a hot meal when I get home from get off work."

Xu Shaoyu placed the washed fruit on the coffee table and said, "If you like, we can always do this in the future."

Yan Ruo slowly opened her eyes and asked uncertainly, "What do you mean?"

"Yan Ruo, will you marry me?"

Unexpectedly, it was just as he thought. Yan Ruo's eyes widened instantly and he opened his mouth, but he didn't know what to say.

Isn’t this too sudden?

And why should such a romantic thing be said when she has been working all day, her face is greasy and she is slumped on the sofa?

Seeing that her eyes were lowered and she was silent for a long time.

Xu Shaoyu slowly squatted down, knelt on one knee, took her hand, and gently kissed the back of her hand.

Then he took out a ring from somewhere and put it on her finger.

"If you think it's too sudden, we can get engaged first and have the wedding next year."

Looking at the unique, large, dazzling diamond ring on her hand, Yan Ruo raised her eyes and asked, "Why so sudden?"

"Is it sudden?" Xu Shaoyu kissed the back of her hand again. "I started preparing this ring a long time ago."

Yan Ruo's eyelashes trembled slightly, "Very early, when was it?"

"last year."

"So early?" Yan Ruo was a little bit incredulous, her eyes fixed on Xu Shaoyu's face, trying to find any trace of a joke.

But after failing, Xu Shaoyu looked more serious than ever before.

It was hard to tell whether she was embarrassed or not mentally prepared enough, Yan Ruo complained with some dissatisfaction.

"Why did you choose to talk about this now?"

There were no flowers, no music, no candlelight dinner, and no grand proposal ceremony.

It doesn't look romantic at all.

Xu Shaoyu stood up, sat down next to Yan Ruo, reached out and pulled her into his arms, kissed her forehead, and explained with a smile.

"This is a major event in your life, and it affects both of our lives. I hope you can be calm and think things through before giving me an answer, rather than making an impulsive decision influenced by external factors."

"This is our life, we don't need so many spectators. And you said before that it would be embarrassing to propose in public with so many people watching."

"I know this is a bit hasty, but I'm not equal to you anymore. However, I have someone arrange the engagement and wedding, and I will definitely satisfy you."

Yan Ruo raised her hand and looked at the diamond ring shining brightly under the light. The panic in her heart just disappeared, and at this moment she felt extremely peaceful.

I have to say, after knowing her for so many years, Xu Shaoyu really understands her.

Although proposing in front of everyone is romantic, that is only the perspective of the spectator.

But if he put himself in the position of the protagonist, Yan Ru would feel extremely embarrassed.

She is indeed more suitable for this plain and warm style.
