Although his parents were watching from the opposite side, Chen Feng quite enjoyed this sneaky behavior, sometimes touching her thigh, sometimes secretly pinching her waist.
This made Xia Yingying blush with embarrassment, and she didn't dare to look up.
Finally, Xia Yingying couldn't hold back any longer and glared fiercely at Chen Feng with her head down.
However, her flushed face and puffed-up eyes posed no threat to Chen Feng; on the contrary, they were incredibly alluring.
Even if Liu Ping and Chen Jianguo were stupid, they could see through their strange behavior. Liu Ping quickly finished her rice and stood up, saying, "I'm full. You two can go upstairs after you finish eating. I'll wash the dishes tomorrow."
After saying that, he didn't forget to tug at Chen Jianguo, who was eating his rice.
"I'm not full yet, I want some more..." Chen Jianguo said softly, turning around, sounding quite aggrieved.
"Eat my ass, hurry up and go. It's good for you to eat less at night," Liu Ping urged without any politeness.
"Oh." What else could Chen Jianguo say? He finished his meal in a few bites and went back to his room with Liu Ping.
After they left, Chen Feng couldn't hold back any longer and pulled Xia Yingying into his arms.
"Oh dear, Mom and Dad are here, can't you just behave for a moment? It's so embarrassing." Xia Yingying still had chopsticks in her hand, leaning on his shoulder with a resentful look in her eyes.
"I'm still being dishonest, I've been trying to restrain myself, okay?" Chen Feng reached out and pinched her.
"Hmm~"
Xia Yingying hugged Chen Feng's neck, put down her chopsticks, and in her state, she had no appetite to eat.
"Come on, let's go upstairs. We can talk about it when we're hungry tonight." Chen Feng carried her upstairs.
"Pah~" Xia Yingying blushed slightly and leaned against him, letting him carry her upstairs.
It was unclear what time it was before Chen Feng finally lay down on the bed. Xia Yingying, her face flushed, leaned against him, her fingers circling his chest.
"Are you still hungry? How about we go downstairs and get something to eat?" Chen Feng asked.
"I'm not hungry anymore, I'm full." Xia Yingying smiled shyly, pursing her lips, and hugged his waist.
"I didn't mean that, I meant your stomach." Chen Feng pinched her cheek.
"I was talking about the belly~" Xia Yingying said with a meaningful smile.
"So cute~" Chen Feng turned his head and kissed Xia Yingying, then lay down on the bed contentedly.
This is what a perfect life looks like.
"Xia Yingying, let's get married." Chen Feng said abruptly.
"ah?"
Upon hearing this, Xia Yingying opened her eyes and looked at Chen Feng, her eyes showing a hint of surprise and helplessness.
"I said, let's get married, will you?" Chen Feng looked at Xia Yingying and repeated it seriously.
Xia Yingying looked at the serious Chen Feng, her eyes gradually reddening.
She lay back in Chen Feng's arms, holding him tightly.
"I've been willing for a long time..."
"Then let's pick a date and have a grand wedding," Chen Feng said, gently stroking her hair.
"Is this a marriage proposal?" Xia Yingying asked, sniffing.
"Of course it counts, why wouldn't it?" Chen Feng said matter-of-factly.
"You're so careless! You should at least have prepared an engagement ring. You got engaged so hastily. You're such a jerk..." Xia Yingying patted her chest and said.
"I've prepared the engagement ring," Chen Feng said with a strange smile.
Where?
Xia Yingying had only said it casually, but she didn't expect Chen Feng to actually prepare it. She looked at Chen Feng with surprise in her eyes.
"Look at your hands," Chen Feng said, gesturing with his eyes raised.
Upon hearing this, Xia Yingying raised her hand and suddenly discovered that a sparkling diamond ring had appeared on her bare ring finger without any warning.
"So, do you like it?" Chen Feng asked with a smile.
"You... what happened? How did you do that?" Xia Yingying covered her mouth, looking at her left hand in disbelief.
"You've been wearing it for a while now, didn't you notice?" Chen Feng chuckled.
Just now, Chen Feng secretly put it on her while she wasn't paying any attention to her hands.
This diamond ring was ordered by Chen Feng in Kashi when he had some free time. He went to a local jewelry store and spent more than one million yuan on it.
Chen Feng didn't know how to propose either, as it was his first time. However, he felt that this proposal seemed to work quite well, since no one had ever done it before.
"you…"
Xia Yingying stared blankly at the diamond ring, tears streaming down her face. She hadn't expected Chen Feng to actually prepare a diamond ring and propose to her.
"I've never forgotten the promise I made before I left. I said I'd marry you when I came back," Chen Feng said, sitting up, hugging Xia Yingying from behind, and kissing her.
Upon hearing this, Xia Yingying could no longer hold back and threw herself into his arms, sobbing uncontrollably.
She thought that someone as carefree as Chen Feng would have long forgotten about it.
She had been waiting for this day for a very long time…
The next day, Chen Feng pulled Xia Yingying aside and announced the news to his parents.
"Getting married? That's wonderful! I wonder if I should ask someone to help me decide on a date?" Liu Ping asked, clapping her hands with delight.
"About a month and a half later, I think the 28th would be a good date." Chen Feng wanted to make his own decisions.
“Okay, if you two think it’s okay, then shouldn’t we start preparing?” Chen Jianguo asked without any objection.
He subconsciously thought about going through the formalities of meeting the in-laws, but after he finished speaking, he suddenly realized, Xia Yingying's family... would they still be in-laws?
"Let's get ready. We don't need to buy any hardware from outside. We can just keep some from our own mine to refine and find someone to work with."
"As for the betrothal gifts..." Chen Feng said, turning to look at Xia Yingying. He really didn't know what to do about it, as they hadn't discussed it before.
"No need for a betrothal gift, there's no one else in my family," Xia Yingying said, shaking her head.
"No, one thing at a time. If I'm going to marry, it has to be a proper marriage. Even though you don't have anyone else in your family, you still have me."
"Why don't we just give you all the betrothal gifts then?" Liu Ping immediately shook her head upon hearing this, saying that not giving anything would make it seem like her family was bullying Yingying.
Although Xia Yingying might not care about these things, I, as her mother-in-law, have to consider them.
We must not make Xia Yingying feel uncomfortable.
"That's fine, let's do it this way. Buy whatever you need, and you can keep it all."
Before Xia Yingying could express her opinion, Chen Feng made the decision.
"Mm." Xia Yingying smiled and nodded in agreement.
"Okay, let's do it this way for now. We'll prepare for the formal engagement banquet in a few days." Liu Ping nodded with a smile.
She moved quickly, and as she spoke, she was about to go out to prepare the betrothal gifts for the family.
Chen Feng, holding Xia Yingying's hand, went to the mine to prepare to marry Jinzi and find someone to make metalwork for her.
Xia Yingying was overjoyed until she got on the bus; the happiness made her smile impossible to hide.
