He nodded fondly and said, "That's what the higher-ups said. You can bring up anything. As long as it doesn't involve national interests or harm anyone, it's fine."
She curled her lips and said nonchalantly, "If I really did harm someone, or did something that was detrimental to the interests of the country, would I still tell you? Besides, if I did it, would you still be able to catch me?"
He smiled helplessly and said, "I know that my Ranran is very capable, and I believe that Ranran would not do that. The higher-ups also believe it, but the words still need to be said."
After thinking for a moment, An Ran asked, "I want to join the army. Will the higher-ups agree? Also, if I want to join the army, I need a rank. I don't want to be a soldier. By the way, what is your current position?"
He patted her head and replied, "Due to the good performance of several missions, coupled with the experience gained over the years, I was promoted to brigade commander after completing this mission."
After thinking for a moment, he asked, "So, if I ask for the rank of major, will the higher-ups agree? Also, isn't the rank of lieutenant colonel higher than yours? Would you find it unacceptable?"
He sighed and said, "My wife is better than me, more capable than me, what's wrong with that? I won't be unacceptable, I will just feel honored. Other people's wives are just not as good as mine. Besides, how can I not accept it! As long as you don't despise me, it's fine."
She lifted her hands, cupped his face, and kissed his lips. "If I disliked you, would you still be here? Okay, call your superiors tomorrow and tell them. I agree to provide the formula and participate in the research and production. The only condition is that I get the rank of Lieutenant Colonel. If you agree, then yes. No, forget it. By the way, why do you suddenly want to get engaged instead of married?"
He replied, "I was thinking, I'm just afraid you won't agree, so I wanted to get engaged first so you can't run away!"
She smiled and said, "You're getting engaged without asking me, aren't you afraid that I'll be unhappy? Besides, even after getting engaged, you can still regret it!"
He felt like a large hand was pinching his neck, unable to move up or down, and it was very uncomfortable. She was always like this, a single word could make him nervous. But he had no way to deal with her.
Seeing his frustrated look, she covered her mouth and laughed secretly. This made him even more angry, and he was about to explode. He said angrily: "Hurry down to eat. I will go home and tell my mother and others to come to the Yun family tomorrow to discuss the marriage directly."
She smiled and asked, "Don't you need to file a marriage report to get married?"
He glared at her, pulled her along, and said, "I've brought back the marriage agreement. I was afraid you'd be unhappy, so I wanted to get engaged first. But now it seems I might as well just take you home, otherwise I won't have any idea what to do."
She was laughing as she walked, and playfully tickled his palm.
After leaving the Yun family, Cao Kun rushed home and first called the army to tell them about An Ran's request. Then, he discussed with his parents and decided to propose marriage without mentioning an engagement.
His parents were completely bewildered. How could he be engaged? He was already out on a trip, and now he was getting married right away? How afraid was he that his wife would run away?
Although she was a little confused, Cao's mother was very happy. Finally, she was going to meet her future daughter-in-law. Her son was also anxious to get married, so it wouldn't be long before he had a grandchild!
The next day, Cao's father and mother got up early, counted the gifts and betrothal gifts for the proposal, had a simple meal, and then went straight to the Yun family with their son.
When they arrived at the Yun residence, the old couple, Jin and his wife, were already waiting. The two families sat together, discussing the couple's marriage. Yun Guohua sat off to the side, glaring at Cao Kun with discontent. His daughter had finally agreed to be close to him, but this wicked man was trying to steal his precious child away. He really wanted to beat him to death.
Cao Kun touched his nose awkwardly and sighed inwardly. What should he do if his father-in-law is dissatisfied with him?
When An Ran came down, she saw that the two families were talking happily, while Yun Guohua and Cao Kun were staring at each other, which made her shake her head.
Old Lady Yun stood up, walked over to her, and pulled her in front of everyone. She introduced them, "Of course, these two are your Grandpa Jin and Grandma Jin's daughter and son-in-law. They are also Xiao Kun's parents, Jin Lanfeng and Cao Zhengnian."
An Ran called out, "Hello, uncle and aunt," and then didn't say anything else.
Jin Lanfeng had heard from her son that An Ran was usually quiet and didn't like to talk much. She stood up, walked over to An Ran, took her hand and said, "Hello, Ran Ran. I heard Xiao Kun talk about you, and I've wanted to see you for a long time. But I'm usually too busy, and Xiao Kun wouldn't let me go to the countryside to look for you, for fear of causing you trouble. So I waited at home every day. Fortunately, I finally saw you in person today. You are so beautiful, so charming, and it's a pity that you're not a good match for my son."
Cao Kun rolled his eyes. What's wrong with his mother? Can't she be more reliable at the critical moment? He stood up and walked over to his mother, complaining, "Mom, you are here to propose marriage, not to ruin your son's marriage!"
An Ran smiled and said, "Auntie, he's very good. I'm quite satisfied."
Cao Kun held her hand and was about to say something when Yun Zeyu walked in and said, "Ranran, there are police outside looking for you. They say Yun Jingqiu wants to see you. If you don't want to go, I'll go out and tell them."
