But she still said it, which could be considered a "hint" to Qiao Shouyan.
The two continued their walk, occasionally teased by the enthusiastic aunties and sisters-in-law in the compound, until it got dark, at which point Qiao Shouyan escorted Meng Yingxin back to her dormitory.
Then, as if a dog was chasing him, he hurried home and discussed with his family about proposing to Meng Yingxin.
"What?! A marriage proposal?" Qiao Gaoyang, completely taken aback, collapsed onto the sofa and wailed, "Big brother, you're moving way too fast! Are you sure your sister-in-law is willing to marry you now? What if she doesn't agree later?!"
"Pah, Second Brother, you're just jealous of Eldest Brother!" Qiao Xinruo couldn't stand it anymore and immediately stood up to defend her eldest brother. "Eldest Brother and Sister-in-law have been together for two lifetimes already. I think Sister-in-law would definitely be willing to marry him. Otherwise, she wouldn't have stayed with Eldest Brother at all!"
“I think so too. My sister-in-law and brother will definitely get married,” Su Yueya said.
Qiao Shouyan had actually guessed it long ago. Before his rebirth in his previous life, Meng Yingxin must have fallen for him and was willing to marry him, but things took an unexpected turn later...
Since God has given them a second chance at life, he absolutely cannot miss it again.
However, Meng Yingxin must have what others have.
That's why Qiao Shouyan wanted to discuss with his family and planned to give Meng Yingxin a formal marriage proposal ceremony.
“Yingxin will definitely agree. When the other military wives in the compound asked about it before, she said that it was up to me when we would get married, so she won’t refuse if I propose,” Qiao Shouyan said.
His tone was full of confidence and certainty.
"Great, that's wonderful!" Qiao Hanxue said.
There are four children in the family, none of them are lacking, but Su Yueya is the only one who is married, and Lu Zhengjun has already sacrificed herself...
Qiao Hanxue and Liu Yuying had long wanted their two sons to get married as soon as possible.
"Eldest son, your father and I don't really understand what kind of ceremonies you young people like these days. You four siblings should discuss it carefully. You absolutely can't wrong my eldest daughter-in-law!" Liu Yuying said, giving the four of them her task, "The proposal needs to be done as soon as possible!"
"Yes!" Since their mother had given the order, how could the four of them dare to disobey?
Besides, this is a major life event for Qiao Shouyan. As his brother and sister, the other three naturally have an inescapable responsibility to help him come up with ideas.
"Sister, you're the only one of the four of us who's married. What do you think is the best way to propose?" Qiao Xinruo asked, while she herself started thinking about it.
“I think such preferences vary from person to person,” Qiao Gaoyang said. Although he was jealous of his elder brother’s smooth love life, he was still his older brother. Despite his jealousy, he had to help with the matter of marrying his sister-in-law. “What Yueya and Xinruo think is good, my sister-in-law may not! It depends on my sister-in-law’s preferences!”
“Second brother is right,” Su Yueya nodded and looked at Qiao Shouyan, “eldest brother, when you usually get along with your sister-in-law, what kind of style do you think she would like?”
People are all different. For example, Leng Yingying definitely likes new, exciting and interesting things, but she might not like someone as gentle as Meng Yingxin.
"Hmm... Yingxin would probably like something simple, thoughtful, something ordinary yet that makes people feel genuine and happy..." Qiao Shouyan described.
Then the four siblings started to think about it.
How can we combine these features to create a marriage proposal that is both happy and unforgettable?
"By the way, brother, the ring! Flowers! No matter what kind of ceremony we have, these two things are essential. Have you prepared them?" Qiao Gaoyang reminded him.
"I just got home and was discussing it with you guys, I haven't had a chance yet," Qiao Shouyan said.
"Tomorrow! I'll go shopping with you tomorrow. Also, we need to carefully choose the proposal venue, right? I don't think the compound will do, there are too many people there. We need to choose a place with a good view..."
"I agree with what you said, Second Brother. This proposal will definitely be one of the most beautiful memories for you and your sister-in-law in the future. We must choose a good place!"
"Should we be there?" Su Yueya thought for a moment. Usually, marriage proposals are conducted quietly by the couple, or they involve friends and family to make a big fuss, or they involve family to create a warm atmosphere. "Or should we just let my older brother go by himself?"
"I think it could actually be done like this..."
The four siblings gathered together, not caring that it was already late at night and they were wide awake. Once they started talking about this matter, each of them had various ideas and thoughts, and the discussion went on and on.
"I think we've reached a good agreement. Let's do it this way, okay!"
After pooling their wisdom, the four of them finally decided on everything related to the proposal.
Meng Ying felt that she had been neglecting Qiao Shouyan lately and wanted to spend more time with him, so she took the initiative to suggest going on a date over the weekend during lunch.
“I told Team Leader Hong that no matter how busy we are with design work, we can’t let it interfere with our rest too much, so how about we go out together this weekend?” Meng Yingxin had already thought it through. Qiao Shouyan always came up with the ideas for our dates, so she should plan one herself.
“We have two days this weekend, I think we can go somewhere nearby, and we can also invite your younger siblings along, it'll be more fun with more people…”
"Um, Yingxin," Qiao Shouyan had to interrupt her.
He would have been overjoyed if Meng Yingxin had taken the initiative to arrange a date with him on a normal weekend.
But he had already made plans for this weekend to finalize the proposal with Qiao Gaoyang, so there was no way he could be with Meng Yingxin.
"What's wrong?" Meng Yingxin asked.
"I have something to do this weekend, so I probably won't be able to go on our date," Qiao Shouyan said with a heavy heart, feeling very regretful, but thinking about what he had to do, he felt it was necessary.
In any case, a marriage proposal is a surprise, and Meng Yingxin absolutely must not find out beforehand.
"Huh?" Meng Yingxin was a little disappointed.
Perhaps it was because she had never heard any rejection from Qiao Shouyan before, and being rejected for the first time felt quite strange.
But based on her understanding of Qiao Shouyan, she knew there must be something important for him to do this, so she didn't think too much about it and expressed her understanding.
"It's okay, if you have something important to do, go ahead and do it. We'll have plenty of time to date in the future," Meng Yingxin said, shaking her head to clear her mind of disappointment.
That's good too. She can plan more carefully and then find time to go out and play with Qiao Shouyan and his siblings once everything is arranged.
"Hmm." Qiao Shouyan nodded, not saying much, afraid that he might accidentally expose himself.
So, that weekend, the two of them were busy with their own things.
Meng Ying was thinking that she might go out to play later. Since Qiao Shouyan was busy this week, she would spend more time working to prepare for the trip.
