Chapter 132
Taking a deep breath, while the atmosphere was still there, Huan Xu coughed and cleared his throat. "Mr. Yan Ze, would you be willing to develop a deeper bond and affection with me that goes beyond revolutionary friendship?"
Under Huan Xu's gaze, Yan Ze's eyes widened little by little, as if he hadn't realized what he had heard, or perhaps he had heard it but didn't understand the implicit meaning of Huan Xu's words.
Huan Xu didn't get an immediate response from Yan Ze, but he wasn't disappointed. He continued to look at Yan Ze with a smile and said, "To put it bluntly, I like you, and now I'm asking if you like me?"
In Huan Xu's opinion, Yan Ze should also like him, and the probability of his success is about 80 to 90%, so Huan Xu didn't say anything, and just said something like if they couldn't be lovers, they could still be good friends.
If nothing unexpected happened - in this situation, how could an accident really happen?
As Yan Ze didn't respond for a long time, the expectation in Huan Xu's eyes gradually died down. He took a step back and created some distance between them. It was a bit awkward to have such a situation happen when he confessed his feelings to someone for the first time.
It turns out that he was narcissistic before.
Huan Xu's mind was racing, thinking about how to explain it. Yan Ze had good intentions in celebrating his birthday, and his good brother had prepared so many surprises, but in the end, he was concerned about Yan Ze's health.
Seeing how angry Yan Ze was, his lips opened and closed but he couldn't say a word.
He must be still concerned about his friend's reputation, and is now confused about how to refuse him decently and without hurting him. He has already caused trouble to Yan Ze, and he can't let him continue to be embarrassed.
Huan Xu forced a smile and just wanted to laugh it off and quickly skip over the previous incident: "Ahem, well, I scared you, didn't I? I was just joking."
After hearing Huan Xu's words, Yan Ze breathed a sigh of relief, and his whole body relaxed from the tense state. He said with fear: "I was scared." They were going to get married, and Huan Xu was still talking about love in a strange way. It must be a joke.
Huan Xu: ...
Huan Xu laughed dryly, but he was still embarrassed in his heart, as if he could dig out an entire sky garden. He had just suffered a one-sided breakup and was in no mood to appreciate the beautiful scenery. Well, it was time to eat. If you feel unhappy, just eat.
"Well, it's almost time, we should go back."
Yan Ze said with a hint of helplessness: "I haven't said it yet."
Huan Xu gave another slightly forced smile: "Okay, you talk, I'll listen."
Just when Huan Xu was secretly wondering whether Yan Ze was going to use this opportunity to distance himself from him, or still cherish him as a good brother and was ready to make a big deal out of it and pretend nothing happened, he saw Yan Ze on the opposite side first took a step back and created some distance.
Then, in front of Huan Xu's shocked gaze, Yan Ze knelt down on one knee in front of him, and took out a delicate and small velvet gift box from the breast pocket where he had taken out the ribbon that covered Huan Xu's eyes before.
The gift box was placed in Yan Ze's palm. Under the control of Yan Ze's big hand with distinct joints, it slowly opened in the direction of Huan Xu, revealing a low-key yet exquisite and simple ring inside.
Yan Ze's eyes flickered uneasily, then he raised them and spoke with three parts shyness, one part hope, and six parts tenderness: "Let's get married."
Huan Xu: ...
Huan Xu: ???
Huan Xu:!!!
"Ha, the wind is too strong, say that again?!"
Yan Ze patiently proposed again. The first time was easier than the second time, and he was not as nervous as before, nor was his mind blank anymore. Yan Ze finally remembered that he had written a proposal before.
Well, Huan Xu and he really have a tacit understanding and are a perfect match.
He had just rehearsed it, and now he was given another chance to formally propose.
Mr. Xiaoyan, who was always at ease and decisive in front of a group of business tycoons, spoke a few words haltingly when facing Huan Xu alone. Fortunately, in the sky garden, as Huan Xu said, the wind was strong and the signal was not good, so it was normal for him to speak a little haltingly.
"Huan Xu, let's get married."
As Xiaoyan was talking, she didn't move the hand holding the ring, but stretched out her other hand to the side and pressed the mechanism that he had fully prepared for this important moment in his life. The Cupid fountain figurine turned, and a small tray slowly floated to the surface of the water. The waterproof layer faded away, revealing a pile of certificates on the tray.
Yes, even if I prepared a proposal, there weren’t actually many words. Xiaoyan is always a person who speaks louder than words.
As for the materials Yan Ze prepared for his proposal—
First of all, all the outstanding three-good students from childhood to adulthood have proved that Yanze is a good student with good character and academic performance, and can get along well with others (the kind of person he is good at)!
Then there are various qualifications, from finance to history to what might be the StarCraft version of the Lanxiang plumber certificate, as well as the chef certification that Yan is currently working hard to obtain. He proves with his strength and the little notebook that Yan is capable of both working in the parlor and cooking in the kitchen. The conclusion is that he is still capable.
…
Besides, Xiaoyan always said shyly: "I also learned Taekwondo when I was a child." The kind with a black belt can definitely protect Huan Xu and be on call at any time, which is more competent than a bodyguard.
"I also have some knowledge of piano, photography and other subjects." Huan Xu is a director and likes art, so he and Huan Xu must have common topics.
The most important thing is that Mr. Yan feels that Huan Xu must understand that he must not be misled by certain rumors.
"I also usually run, swim, play badminton and other sports."
Yan Ze was hinting to Huan Xu that he worked out regularly and had all the chest and abdominal muscles Huan Xu wanted. Although he hadn't opened the package yet, Mr. Yan could guarantee...
Huan Xu didn't have to worry about their nightlife after marriage.
The colorful kind.
He has also been working hard to study relevant books and materials recently, and will continue to make progress, learning and thinking often.
To sum up, no matter which aspect, Huan Xu can rest assured and do not have to worry about being boring or uninteresting with him. He will provide all the emotional value that Huan Xu wants.
"Everyone who knows them knows that Dad and Grandpa are the most popular among their middle-aged and elderly friends, respectively."
There is no need to worry about him getting fat and turning into a beer belly or an ugly old man in middle age. The Yan family has good genes, and Yan Ze will also work hard to maintain the best condition, and firmly hold his position as the man behind Director Huan with a posture that surpasses his peers. Just like his grandfather and father, he will not give any little goblins the opportunity to take the position.
I almost forgot one last bit of basic information that needs to be added.
"By the way," Xiaoyan added, "Although there is no proof of being an only child, my family is harmonious, and there won't be any problems with the elders favoring the younger generations differently. Of course, even if my family really favors girls over boys, I have the ability to make our own life good." The small notebooks above are all evidence.
Yan Ze waited expectantly for Huan Xu's answer, "So..."
Huan Xugang thought that his first love was going to end before it even began, but he didn't expect it to take such a sudden turn of events so quickly. Isn't this progress a bit too fast?
Director Huan was dazed and didn't react for a while, but when he thought about the abundant information prepared by the person in front of him, which was comparable to a graduation thesis defense, he was even willing to give him all his wealth.
The decision to pass or not lies in Huan Xu's hands.
To put it bluntly, even if Huan Xu was just trying to scam people out of money, it would be legal for him to sign and stamp the certification documents and then kick Yan Ze out of the house.
Of course, facing such an innocent, pure and handsome guy who came to him for free and who said he was in good physical condition, Huan Xu could not think of any reason to abandon him.
Director Huan is certainly not a superficial person and will not be easily moved by beauty or money, but don't forget, the prerequisite is that he already has a good impression of Yan Ze.
Although he hadn't drunk any alcohol, Huan Xu felt a little dizzy. He didn't quite understand how things had turned out like this. But when he looked into Xiaoyan's clear, deer-like eyes, he couldn't bring himself to say no.
so……
Huan Xu spoke uncertainly, then tentatively asked with some hesitation and uncertainty, "I only wish to hold your hand and grow old with you."
Yan Ze reacted quickly this time, and only selectively listened to the part he wanted to hear. As for Huan Xu's hesitation and uncertainty, he didn't hear it, and even if he heard it, he pretended not to hear it!
He put the ring on Huan Xu's middle finger, which symbolized engagement, at lightning speed and stamped it directly to authenticate it. Then he took the same velvet gift box and ring from the plate with various small notebooks next to it. He didn't even need Huan Xu's help, as he put it on his middle finger himself.
He even nodded ceremoniously, flashing Huan Xu a particularly beautiful smile that could blind Yan Xiaoan: "I do, too."
Huan Xu:?
What are you willing to do? That's even weirder. It's like you're getting married!
After completing the entire proposal process, Mr. Yan finally breathed a sigh of relief. Although there were some minor accidents along the way, fortunately the result was good.
The next step is for the two families to discuss the formal marriage of the two!
"Wait, ahem, there's no rush." What's going on? His relationship hasn't even started yet, so why is Yan Ze getting married?
After leaving the park, the two of them would go to the old kitchen in the evening to celebrate Huan Xu's birthday with Professor Gu and others.
However, at the park entrance, Yan Ze signaled Huan Xu to stop and wait.
Huan Xu: "What's wrong?"
Yan Ze: "I haven't thought of a name for the park yet."
Huan Xu didn't react at first, thinking how could such a trivial matter as naming be so difficult for Teacher Taihang?
Until Yan Ze had to express his thoughts more directly: "I think the name you chose is nice."
Huan Xu raised his gaze and fell on the red cloth that was still covering the name of the park. It turned out that it was not covered, but had not yet been named.
How could the name Yan Ze chose himself not be nice? The reason he waited until now was that he wanted me to choose it myself.
The park was built by Yan Ze, and it was he who gave it the name...
Huan Xu's ears also felt a little hot. So this is what love feels like, the so-called sweet and sweet feeling between young lovers.
That's not true. According to Yan Ze, they had already passed the courtship stage and were ready to step into the grave of marriage (bushi).
Huan Xu thought about it seriously and asked uncertainly, "How about a miracle?"
The relics of the wonders of the century, referred to as miracles.
It is also a double entendre, a miracle given to him by Yan Ze.
It might be a miracle that the two of them were such a mess yet they could still be together in the end. After all, at the beginning, they were not even individuals in the same space and time.
Huan Xu: "Do you think it sounds good?"
Obviously, he shouldn't have asked this question, it seemed like nonsense, because, without having to guess, one could guess Yan Ze's answer, there was only one.
“It sounds really nice.”
The word "special" is used to describe it, which shows how much Xiaoyan likes it.
Although Yan Ze always adhered to the principle of "whatever Huan Xu said was good" in all matters big and small, at this moment, the more Yan Ze chewed on the word "miracle", the better it sounded to him.
There is no better name than these two words.
As expected of Huan Xu, he is really good at naming, so amazing.
…
On the way back, Huan Xu turned his gaze back and couldn't bear to look at Yan Ze anymore. His whole body was glowing with a sweet pink light. He had finally come back to his senses from drinking fake wine. Huan Xu roughly understood what had happened, but he couldn't bear to reveal the truth to Yan Ze in this state.
I always feel that if I tell the truth, Xiaoyan will burst into tears the next second.
Huan Xu simply imagined the scene in his mind. Although the "beauty" had red eyes and a look of forbearance, it seemed that it was not impossible... Director Huan's Adam's apple moved involuntarily, and then he half raised his hand to cover half of his face.
Forget it.
Yes, but not now.
It shouldn't be because the beauty was traumatized by the truth.
Or should we just let it go?
Although it was equivalent to skipping a step on his side, he was not being a hooligan when he wanted to have a relationship with Yan Ze, but he had the intention of getting married from the beginning.
It doesn’t seem to be impossible.
Huan Xu glanced at the man next to him again. Yan Ze was secretly looking at the same ring on their hands. It was obvious that he wanted to be reserved and not show it so obviously, but the corners of his lips kept rising unconsciously.
Under the tug of war between willpower and the body itself, if there were outsiders present, they would probably be frightened again by President Xiaoyan's "ferocious" expression at this moment. How angry must she be?
But, the person sitting next to Yan Ze was Huan Xu.
I don't know if it's because love makes the woman beautiful, or if it's because all of Xiaoyan's features really fit Director Huan's aesthetic taste. Anyway, in Huan Xu's eyes, Yan Ze is not only not scary at all, but also cute and brainless.
Huan Xu sighed in his heart and secretly made a decision that he must keep this secret and not let Xiaoyan know the cruel truth.
Of course, even if Huan Xu was not going to expose this white lie, some things still needed to be clarified.
For example, the most crucial point that puzzled Huan Xu was when he and Yan Ze confirmed their relationship. He had no recollection of it.
After coughing lightly, Huan Xu tried to call out, "Yan Ze."
Love makes people stupid.
Yan Ze responded immediately like an artificial intelligence ready to show up at any time: "I'm here."
Huan Xu: ...
Huan Xu beat around the bush: "Do you still remember our anniversary?"
Yan Ze thought that Huan Xu was testing him. Of course he had to remember such an important day!
Hearing Yan Ze's reply that was accurate to the second, Huan Xu counted on his fingers in his mind. During the time Yan Ze mentioned, Huan Xu was busy filming and didn't remember going out. To be honest, the two of them often chatted on the computer, but Huan Xu didn't remember them saying anything excessive or like a confession of love.
Otherwise, Huan Xu wouldn't have had to guess so much before.
Or is there something wrong?
Huan Xu thought of a possibility, and his eyes twitched. That shouldn't be the case, right?
Huan Xu: "So, how long have we been together?"
Very good, Yan Ze’s answer is both reasonable and unexpected.
Huan Xu was really about to laugh at him now. How could he not know that he and Yan Ze had been in a long-term relationship for such a long time, and he guessed it right. It was really a year and a fraction of a year. It started last year.
Wait, Yan Ze invited him out this year, but he seemed to have postponed the appointment temporarily because he was too busy with work. Later, the company received a huge bouquet of 999 roses. It was when a new movie was released, and Huan Xu and other people in the company thought it was a gift from fans.
It wasn't the first time that Huan Xu received various bouquets of flowers, dolls, letters, and even razor blades.
No one thought much about it.
It's just that the timeline of what happened this year is relatively recent, so Huan Xu can still recall it, but last year, Huan Xu really couldn't remember how he and Yan Ze got together. The most important thing is that Yan Ze kept it a secret for a year, and he didn't even hear a word from his side.
On the way to the old kitchen in the hovercraft, Huan Xu was desperately trying to recall the past, moving forward step by step according to the time nodes.
Finally, Huan Xu had some vague impressions.
Isn’t it…right?
The time Yan Ze mentioned seemed to be when Yan Ze helped him, and he gave Yan Ze a model of the Forbidden City. As a result, when he left, Yan Ze gave Huan Xu a Five Emperors Coin, which he could not refuse. It is still in his pocket.
That's really early.
Huan Xu: “…” It turned out to be a contract to sell one’s body!
Huan Xu took out the Five Emperors' Coins, which he had polished until they were shiny. He waved them before Yan Ze's eyes, "Do you recognize them?"
Of course he was familiar with the token of love, Yan Ze nodded vigorously.
Huan Xu: "Hmm, I forgot to ask, did you find this too?"
The case is solved.
Yan Ze: "It's not something I found, it's something passed down from my family," the kind that I give to my future daughter-in-law.
Huan Xu fell silent again. A family heirloom... Buying a Huan Dao, this deal seemed like a confusing account no matter how you calculated it. So, forget it, as long as Yan Ze was happy.
Huan Xu sighed, pretending to look at the computer but actually hiding his twitching lips, when suddenly his attention was caught by an entry.
The story begins with the birthday celebration that fans held for Director Huan. Why did they choose 5:20? Of course, it is because this time is very special, as it is the time when Director Huan came into this world.
Originally, the fans had prepared a big show, but it wasn't as big as it is now, probably half the size. The huge banner that covered the sky at the last minute only had one message: "Happy Birthday to Director Huan!"
However, when the incident happened, fans were also surprised to find that there was another message, which was "Director Huan, I love you."
I don’t know who was so smart to come up with this idea, but it’s a perfect match with Director Huan’s birth time!
After the ceremony, fans immediately started to check among themselves. Could it be that they were too anxious and made a mistake in the previous counting?
That shouldn't be the case. The total amount of money is there, the scale has doubled, and the money and resources spent cannot be explained by a simple oversight. At first, fans suspected that the boss group was making another effort.
After the inquiry, the wealthy bosses were also bewildered and regretted it most. Why didn't they think of it before? If they had known earlier, they would have tried harder and given Director Huan a banner belonging to their own business section, which would be called "May Fuwa Live a Hundred Years!"
I hope Director Huan lives a long and peaceful life, and they will also make a lot of money with him for a long time.
Unfortunately it’s too late this year, let’s do it next year.
The incident in which a mysterious rich man spent a fortune just to confess "I love you" to Director Huan on his birthday unexpectedly became a hot topic.
Huan Xu: ...
You don’t have to think about who the mysterious rich man is. Who else could it be? Haha, a spendthrift man!
In any case, the two people's love progress bars are finally unified.
Seeing that the hovercraft was about to stop next to the old kitchen, Director Huan suddenly had a bad idea. Since the two were engaged, he would definitely introduce his boyfriend to his family and friends soon. He was just shocked just now, and soon, he wanted to let Professor Gu and others be shocked by the fact that "he and Yan Ze had been secretly in love for so long."
On the other side, at the Yan family's home, Yan's mother fell silent as she looked at the various materials about Yan Ze's childhood that had been turned out from the boxes and drawers, the empty wall of awards, and the safe that looked like it had been robbed.
There is definitely no thief. If I remember correctly, Yan Ze seemed to have been here this afternoon.
Let's see what's missing. Mother Yan was even more silent. She couldn't understand what Yan Ze was going to do with all the awards and certificates. It was like moving house.
At this time, Yan's mother had no idea that Yan Ze had done something big without making any noise.
Neither side has met the parents yet, so Yan's mother certainly couldn't have imagined that Yan Ze couldn't wait to propose to Director Ren Huan.
Yan Ze didn't expect it, of course not. Although the procedure was a bit against the rules, Xiaoyan made such a decision after rigorously analyzing the pros and cons, of course because the pros outweighed the cons.
Needless to say, no one in the Yan family is dissatisfied with Huan Xu. Even if there are some, they are worried that Shuai Shuai, who doesn't look very smart, is not worthy of Director Huan.
But Huan Xu's family is not afraid of a thousand but afraid of the unexpected. What if Professor Gu and little brother Gu have some opinions about him? If he and Huan Xu have not settled down, then there will be a lot of variables.
Now Huan Xu has agreed to marry him. Even if Professor Gu and his brother are dissatisfied with him in some way, they probably won't stop him. He believes that everyone loves Huan Xu and that's why they respect Huan Xu's opinion.
The matter has been resolved.
In this case, all Yan Ze has to do is work hard to correct himself and satisfy his uncle and brother, without having to worry about being opposed by his family. The plan works perfectly!
As for how Yan Ze showed off the ring on his hand to his family after returning to the Yan family, and how he was shocked when the Yan family found something wrong and hurriedly asked about it, and then learned that Yan "Er" had actually proposed to Director Huan without telling anyone, and Director Huan actually nodded in agreement, that is a story for later.
To borrow Yan Xiaoan's inexpressible sigh of vicissitudes of life, that is: Yan Shuaishuai is a fool with luck, and he relies on Director Huan's soft heart and willingness to pamper him.
