"Is there anything you most want to do?" His warm lips pressed against her earlobe, his deep, husky voice uttering those incredibly seductive words.
Jiang Can's heart skipped a beat, and her cheeks suddenly flushed red.
She leaned softly against him.
"What I want to do most right now... is to hold you like this."
Huo Zhixing was taken aback, but then his heart leaped with joy.
He knew that young women were easily embarrassed, so they had to take things slowly.
So he patiently guided her, asking, "After you've hugged me, what else do you want to do?"
"Hmm?" Jiang Can looked up, a hint of confusion showing in her innocent big eyes.
"Think back to our past." He chuckled softly, stroking her small face. "In our home...where were you, holding me?"
Jiang Can, clearly not understanding his trick, deliberately said, "Oh, back then, didn't we often hug on the balcony? After I hugged you like this, we would watch the stars together!"
"..."
"By the way, Huo Zhixing," she smiled, "I'd really like to see the stars right now, will you come with me?"
The man was rebuffed, and although extremely unwilling, he still forced a smile.
"Okay, let's look at the stars." His voice was affectionate.
Jiang Can smiled secretly, revealing a cunning look like that of a little fox.
However, looking up, the weather wasn't great tonight; it was foggy and a bit damp and chilly.
It seems I won't be able to watch it...
Jiang Can glanced at him with some disappointment and forced a smile, "Last time you were in Yangcheng and I was in Jiangzhou, you sent me a video, and I saw that the starry sky here was beautiful."
"Don't worry," he said gently. "The starry sky will be beautiful tonight too."
"But……"
“Come with me.” He took her hand. “I’ll make sure you see the stars!”
Jiang Can was taken aback for a moment, then he pulled her into the car. He drove east along the seaside road until they reached the Huo family's private sea area.
Jiang Can followed him down to the soft sand. The sea breeze, carrying a salty smell, blew in waves, and the occasional cry of seagulls could be heard in the distance.
Huo Zhixing took off his coat and draped it over her shoulders, urging her to look at the distant sky.
"There's nothing there..." She opened her eyes wide, but could only see pitch black.
Huo Zhixing chuckled softly, "Look closely."
"Are you kidding me?"
"Who's playing a trick on you?" He smiled, his expression full of affection. "Look over there, aren't those stars?"
Jiang Can looked again and suddenly saw many bright spots appear in the sky. She was stunned as the lights rapidly moved towards them.
"This is……"
Upon closer inspection, it became clear that they were numerous drones, numbering in the hundreds!
The drones illuminated the night sky, truly resembling a sky full of dazzling stars embedded in a dark blue dome.
Jiang Can was momentarily lost in thought, holding her breath and staring blankly at the sky.
Huo Zhixing looked at her and smiled softly.
Then hundreds of drones formed a giant heart in the night sky, and before long, the heart turned into LOVE...
The scene was so dreamlike that Jiang Can felt it was completely unreal.
“Huo Zhixing,” she called softly, “this…”
"I told you, I would definitely let you see the stars."
She was both excited and moved, and for a moment she didn't know what to say. Her clear, bright eyes looked at him quietly, and a layer of mist rose in them.
"Huo Zhixing..." She only called his name and didn't continue, afraid that if she said too much, tears would fall.
"Don't get too emotional yet," he smiled and whispered in her ear, "Close your eyes."
Jiang Can did as instructed.
She felt him turn her little hand over so that her palm was facing up, as if something had fallen into her hand.
When she opened her eyes, she suddenly found a necklace in her hand.
Exquisite Kashmir sapphires are carved into the shapes of stars and the moon, hanging on a platinum chain.
“Can Can,” he said in a deep, gentle voice, “I’ve plucked the stars and the moon from the sky and given them to you.”
"And you? Will you marry me? We'll never be apart, okay?"
Jiang Can pursed her lips, tears welling up in her eyes. Huo Zhixing held her in his arms and gently stroked her hair.
“You don’t need to answer me right now,” he said considerately. “I’ll give you time. Just remember that I’ll always be here waiting for you.”
Jiang Can nodded, leaned against his chest, and cried like a little fool.
"Huo Zhixing".
"Um?"
"Actually, I can answer you right now..."
Huo Zhixing's heart jumped, and he listened quietly.
"I do need some time to prepare my dowry."
She looked up at him and smiled sincerely.
"I also need some time to see the world. I hope that when I marry you in the future, I can stand shoulder to shoulder with you and be just as outstanding as you."
So... please stay where you are and don't move, okay? I'll come over here someday!
"Okay, sure!" He looked into her eyes and solemnly agreed.
The two looked at each other and smiled. The drone in the night sky changed colors, illuminating the horizon where the sea met the sky.
Even if the road ahead is shrouded in mist, he can still pluck the stars from the sky for her.
And she will stand proudly by his side, letting the whole world know that she is worthy.
...
As soon as Fu Xiuyu arrived in the central city, Cen Bo escorted her to the Xingyuan Garden.
She was filled with mixed emotions upon returning. She hadn't wanted to go to the Huo family manor, even though the residence was far from the old house, because she never knew when she might see Huo Zhanpeng and Wang Meiyun.
If we meet, everyone will feel awkward; it's better not to meet at all.
But she couldn't bear to leave Huo Zhixing if she didn't come to Xingyuan.
And that woman surnamed Jiang... what kind of person is she that bewitched her son to the point of wanting to give up the Huo family's empire?
Fu Xiuyu gasped, rolled down the car window, and let the wind outside blow on her.
The car soon stopped at the entrance of Xingyuan.
“Mr. Fu,” Cen Bo said respectfully, “the room here for the Third Young Master has been cleaned several times and changed to the style you like. I’ll help you carry your suitcase upstairs now.”
“Let the servants do these things,” Fu Xiuyu said calmly, taking off her sunglasses. “Uncle Cen, you’ve always been very good to Zhixing since he was a child, and I’m very grateful to you.”
"Mr. Fu, you're too kind. This is what I should do."
“But I know Zhixing well…” she paused, “Once he’s made up his mind, no one can dissuade him!”
Cen Bo frowned. "What does President Fu mean?"
Fu Xiuyu didn't speak, but looked around and suddenly noticed an ordinary-looking car parked in the courtyard.
A question suddenly arose in her mind, "Uncle Cen, that car..."
"Oh, it was driven back from Jiangzhou by the Third Young Master."
"Jiangzhou?" Fu Xiuyu guessed a bit and gave a cold smile.
Even the lowest-ranking farmhands in the Huo family wouldn't give this kind of car a second glance!
But this car will definitely attract attention if it's placed in Xingyuan. If Huo Zhanhe and Huo Zhiyan see it, who knows what they'll say about Huo Zhixing behind his back!
"Uncle Cen," Fu Xiuyu thought for a moment, then smiled wryly, "how are your Second Master Huo and Eldest Young Master doing lately?"
