The next day, Xia Wenxi sat up, supporting her back, thinking that "being romantic" was something that could only be done occasionally.

Otherwise, her back would have broken.

When Xia Wenxi stepped out of the room and saw Lin Shen standing there cooking, as upright as a pine tree, she felt a little annoyed.

There's an old saying that goes, "There's no such thing as a field, only such thing as a cow."

Why is she so tired, while Lin Shen is completely fine?

"You're awake? Why are you unhappy?"

Xia Wenxi simply sat down at the dining table.

She honestly replied, "I'm not unhappy, I'm just a little tired. How come you look perfectly fine?"

"So the stream will be above next time?"

Enraged, Xia Wenxi kicked him.

After being kicked, Lin Shen laughed even harder.

"Well! Seriously though, it might be because I work out. You don't exercise much, so your muscles will ache if you do too much activity."

"I haven't been very active."

Xia Wenxi didn't think much of it. After saying those words, she saw Lin Shen's teasing expression and realized her mistake, blushing.

"So this is still my problem?!"

No, it's my problem.

Lin Shen leaned close to Xia Wenxi's ear and whispered something, then received another kick.

Originally, no one was home at Xia Wenxi's house, so she could have stayed at Lin Shen's house for the weekend, but she still went home on Sunday.

Her reason for telling Lin Shen was "to rest and recuperate".

After the flower shop business started, Xia Wenxi was no longer in that bored and restless state she used to be, but...

Now that she has something to do, Xia Wenxi feels that there are too many things to do. It seems that her interest can only last for a few days, and she is just forcing herself to stay active after that.

Gradually, she began to openly dawdle, only going to the store every few days to check on the progress of the renovation.

When Ke Shurong and Xia Hengyuan returned, they inevitably asked about Xia Wenxi's shop during their meal together.

Xia Wenxi was afraid that everyone would have too high hopes, so she gave them a heads-up.

"I think... we might not know when we'll be able to open successfully."

Upon hearing this, Ke Shurong comforted her daughter, "It's alright. Opening a shop is always a troublesome matter. It's okay if it takes a little longer. Back when your father wanted to start a business, it took him a long time to officially establish the company, right?"

Ke Shurong patted Xia Hengyuan, signaling him to say a few words as well.

"Yes! Your mom is right. If you do a good job of preparation beforehand, things will go smoothly later on."

Xia Wenxi nodded, "Although my little shop can't compare to Dad's company, I understand the principle. It's okay, we'll take it slow!"

"Yeah, you've got nothing better to do anyway, so take your time."

After finishing the meal, Xia Wensheng suddenly cleared his throat and said he had something important to announce.

Looking at Ming Huan sitting next to him, smiling gently with a slightly flushed face, the others could probably guess what he was going to say.

"After discussing it with Huanhuan, we decided that September 9th would be the day we met, the day we would get our marriage certificate, and the wedding would be held in October."

"good!"

Ke Shurong led the applause, followed by the other three, and everyone gave them a heartfelt round of applause!

"Where are you planning to hold the wedding? Have you chosen a venue yet? If you're too busy with work, Mom and Dad can help out."

Xia Wenxi raised her hand, "Me too! I haven't been deeply involved in any weddings yet!"

Xia Wensheng cruelly refused, "You can watch, but you don't need to help. The wedding company is much more professional than you."

"All right."

"You should just focus on running your flower shop." Xia Wensheng rejected his sister's request, then looked at Lin Shen and asked him:

"Interested in being my best man?"

Lin Shen didn't expect Xia Wensheng to invite him to be the best man, but he was naturally willing to do so.

"no problem."

Xia Wenxi joked with Xia Wensheng, "Aren't you afraid the best man will be more handsome than the groom?"

"Ha! I'll only do my own hair and makeup then, I won't do it for the best man."

"Hmm... Is it too late for me to regret it now?"

Lin Shen's words made everyone laugh.

Afterwards, Minghuan asked Xia Wenxi, "Would Xiaoxi like to be my bridesmaid?"

Xia Wenxi nodded vigorously.

"Of course I'd love to! I can even bring my own flower girls."

She picked up the little fish that was lying next to her.

"Little Cat Flower Girl!"

Ming Huan hadn't expected that Xia Wenxi's reminder would actually give him a new idea.

"How about we have Dengdeng and Xiaoyuer deliver the rings to us when the time comes?"

"Are you sure those two won't fall asleep halfway there?"

Xia Wensheng glanced at the little fish that had just been put down and curled up to sleep again, and then thought of Dengdeng, who was sleeping nine times out of ten when he went to Huanhuan's house, and doubted whether the two of them could complete this important task.

Xia Wenxi raised her hand again.

"I can lead them both into the venue. Anyway, I've seen many people receive rings from their bridesmaids, right?"

Little Fish had no idea that he could actually work while lying down, and continued to sleep soundly and adorably.

After that day, Xia Wenxi continued to go to the flower shop sporadically, and after a few months, the shop was actually starting to look quite nice.

At the end of July was Xia Wenxi's birthday, and Lin Shen specially took time off to go out and have fun for a week.

The destination is a small town in southern Italy.

On the return trip, Xia Wenxi was still reluctant to leave and said to Lin Shen on the plane.

"I want to get married here in the future."

"Of course, no problem. But Xiaoxi, I haven't proposed yet, are you willing to marry me?"

Upon hearing this, Xia Wenxi said boldly, "We're like family, it doesn't matter whether I propose or not."

Lin Shen chuckled, never expecting to hear such an answer; his little streamer was still as "unexpected" as ever.

"Then I still hope that Xiaoxi can give me a chance to perform."

Xia Wenxi laughed too.

"Alright, then I'll look forward to your performance!"

Xia Wenxi had no idea how or when Lin Shen planned to propose, and she felt that she couldn't be like Sister Minghuan, who could immediately sense something was wrong and guess what the other person was up to.

During their subsequent dates, she made a point of carefully observing Lin Shen's every word and action, but the result was... nothing came of it.

You can't tell at all that he's different from before.

"What's wrong? Is there something wrong with me?"

"have!"

Seeing Xia Wenxi nod with a serious face, Lin Shenzhen thought he had either worn the wrong clothes or gotten a bad haircut a couple of days ago.

Just as I was about to ask her what was wrong, I heard Xia Wenxi say:

"You're so handsome! It's almost too handsome for me. I suggest you move closer so I can check it out for you."

Lin Shen smiled first, then moved closer to Xia Wenxi, so close that they could hear each other's breath.

"Will this clarify the situation?"

Xia Wenxi deliberately shook her head, "No."

They moved closer, their noses touching.

How about this?

Xia Wenxi rubbed her nose and shook her head again, "Still can't."

If you get any closer, you'll be as close as lips and teeth.

Will it work this time?
