When Bai Yajing opened her eyes, she saw golden winter plum blossoms filling the main hall, and the corners of her mouth involuntarily turned up.
"How did you know I like plum blossoms?" When she looked closer, she discovered that not only were there plum blossoms, which she loved, but all the decorations were also bought in her preferred style and color, even the curtains were her favorite color…
After looking around, she felt a surge of emotion. He was working himself to the bone in the Northwest, yet he still managed to find time to arrange things here. She wasn't heartless, so of course she was touched.
"Thank you, A-Che, I really like it here..."
Xiao Che was also very happy to see that she liked it. It was worth taking time out of his busy schedule to communicate with his brothers here and let them choose good things from various places.
He pulled her inside again. "Ya Jing, the surprises don't end here."
Upon hearing this, Bai Yajing, full of anticipation, went with him.
Xiao Che led her to the room next to the study, and as soon as he opened the door, a fragrant aroma of medicine wafted out.
He gently pushed her forward from behind. "This place is the same as the small pharmacy you had in Xinghua Village. Next door is our study. I will work here, and you will have your own things to do here. When I'm tired, I can look up and see you. Life couldn't be more pleasant."
However, some medicinal herbs are difficult to obtain, and I haven't collected them all yet. I know you enjoy preparing and making medicine, so I'll prepare these for you at home.
You can live your life however you like. I'll support you in whatever you choose to do.
Leaving aside the study, which was just ordinaryly furnished, the main focus was on the suite inside, whose furnishings and layout were almost identical to those in her own home.
"You've gone to so much trouble..."
Bai Yajing would be a fool if she still didn't understand his intentions! He decorated this place entirely according to her preferences, hoping that she would stay and truly consider this place her home.
She smiled, turned around, and stared intently at him, not missing a single micro-expression. "Xiao Che, are you proposing to me?"
Xiao Che's smile faltered for a moment, but seeing that she had already guessed, he stopped hiding it, put on a smile again, and reached out to take out something he had prepared long ago from his pocket.
A small, exquisite box slowly opened in his hands, revealing an emerald pendant inside.
"Ya Jing, I have already given you the Xiao family's ancestral jade pendant. This is a betrothal gift that I have been looking for for a long time. Please don't find it unworthy. I will definitely give you something better in the future."
Ya Jing... Will you marry me? I won't make any empty promises now, but I'll show you through my actions, and time will prove my heart.
That's just his nature. He doesn't say nice things; he only shows her through actions to prove his determination and put her at ease.
Upon hearing this, Bai Yajing's eyes immediately welled up with tears. She truly disliked listening to empty words and flattery; time was the best test of a person's character.
Since she chose him, she had already prepared herself mentally. No matter if he changed his mind in the future, or if other unexpected events occurred, she had the courage, ability, and confidence to protect herself.
She smiled and accepted the emerald pendant he offered, then took out the jade pendant she always wore around her neck from her clothes. When she first received the pendant, she instinctively put it away carefully, but after they became a couple, she took it out and wore it again.
She gathered the two jade pendants together in her hands and looked at them with great delight.
She looked up again, her expression serious, and nodded to him. "Yes, I agree. However, we'll have to wait for my grandparents, grandfather, and uncle to come before we hold the banquet."
When she left Northwest China, she sent a message home to let them know she was safe and to tell them about her upcoming plans. Now it seems she also needs to send a telegram to let them know she's getting married.
I just don't know if my family will be scared...
Upon hearing this, Xiao Che excitedly picked her up and spun her around a few times. "Oh~ that's wonderful! I'll invite both families to give us their blessings! I'll submit a report tomorrow to expedite the approval process!"
Although a grand celebration is not possible now, it's fine to have friends and family gather. He's already eager to register the person's household registration!
