Chapter 821 Even if the sky falls, I'll hold it up for you.
“Yangyang, do you know? I have a younger sister. She’s been good at everything since she was little. I’ve always thought she’s a very independent girl.”
"But this is the kind of girl who has suffered a lot in relationships. I also lost hope in love because of her past relationships. I wondered how a perfectly good person could change after falling in love. The rational and intelligent girl from before changed just because she fell in love with someone."
Fu Nian'an spoke in a low voice, paused for a moment, and then said, "So, I think love can make people lose their minds. I am very satisfied with my life, so I don't think I need love that makes people irrational."
Le Yan understood and asked him, "If you hadn't met me, would you have married a wealthy heiress of equal social standing? The kind of marriage where you only consider the interests of both parties and not feelings?"
“I don’t want to hide it from you.” Fu Nian’an looked into Le Yan’s eyes. “I might, because before I met you, I also went on blind dates. They were arranged by my family, and we were well-matched and knew each other well.”
"Miss Gong, is that right too?"
“She’s not. She’s just a business partner. But the situation is different. There’s also a bit of personal grudge between me and Gong Qianyu, which is why I can’t reject her like I would reject others.”
Le Yan said honestly, "Actually, Miss Gong is a very good match for you in terms of appearance, ability, and family background."
Upon hearing this, Fu Nian'an narrowed her eyes, "But feelings aren't just about matching external conditions. Fate, first impressions, and personality are all crucial. Of course, I think the most wonderful thing is a feeling between two people that outsiders can't interfere with."
Le Yan blinked. "If you say that, can I understand that we are destined lovers?"
Fu Nian'an rubbed her head. "You can think of it that way if you want."
Le Yan pursed her lips.
“So, when I said I wanted to get married, I meant it.” Fu Nian’an stroked the back of her hand with his fingertips and said, “Of course, I know it’s too sudden for you to bring up marriage now. You’re still young, and it’s not fair for you to become a wife so early. Also, I’m afraid that once you become Mrs. Fu, people will subconsciously associate all your future achievements with me. So, I originally planned to wait until your career was stable before bringing up marriage. But you always seem to question my feelings for you, and you always seem to think that you’re not good enough for me. I don’t want to see you always struggling with these issues, so I’m proposing marriage. This is the most direct promise I can give you as a man.”
Le Yan hadn't expected that Fu Nian'an had already considered so much.
She sniffed. "I... I really didn't mean to put pressure on you. I'm just not used to it... Fu Nian'an, do you know? You are the best and most capable person I've ever met in my life. I always feel like I've been hit by a pie..."
Fu Nian'an patted her head and said, "I can understand you. I can say sweet words too, but I think that being the rightful Mrs. Fu would give you a greater sense of security than sweet words."
"Marriage isn't something to be taken lightly." Le Yan pursed her lips. "You know my situation. Don't your parents mind?"
"They respect me and trust my judgment."
Le Yan was astonished. "You're not lying to me?"
“I wouldn’t lie to you about something like this,” Fu Nian’an said. “Just tell me now, do you want to marry me?”
Le Yan nodded, "I want to marry you."
Fu Nian'an was taken aback, then raised an eyebrow: "Really?"
"Yes!" Le Yan nodded vigorously, "But not now!"
Fu Nian'an: "..."
Le Yan raised her hand and wrapped it around the man's neck: "Fu Nian'an, let's make a promise!"
Fu Nian'an looked into her eyes, which had regained their smile, and slightly curved her lips. "Go ahead."
"Three years. In three years, I will become a movie queen. I will hold this glory in my hands and propose to you publicly in front of everyone!"
Fu Nian'an was taken aback. "Are you sure?"
Le Yan tilted her head, observing Fu Nian'an's reaction. "You don't believe I can win Best Actress?"
“Of course not.” Fu Nian’an looked into her eyes. “I mean, are you really sure you want to propose to me at your own awards ceremony?”
Le Yan blinked. "Is it not allowed?"
Fu Nian'an tapped her nose with his fingertip. "Le Yan, you'd better have the guts."
"I'm already a Best Actress winner, do you think I don't have the guts?" Le Yan smiled mischievously. "But I'm curious, when you heard me make that boast, your first reaction wasn't to question whether I could actually win the Best Actress award?"
“I’ve said it before, I trust my own judgment.” Fu Nian’an placed his palm on the back of her neck. “Yangyang, be confident, be confident in yourself, be confident in me, okay?”
Le Yan's eyes inexplicably welled up with tears. "Okay!"
...
After finishing her meal and resting for a while, Leyan went to change into her yoga clothes.
Fu Nian'an was working on the sofa in the living room, while Le Yan was exercising next to him.
Occasionally, Fu Nian'an would glance sideways at the woman who was concentrating on her exercise.
At this moment, Le Yan was stretching her legs, and when she lowered her head, her tight yoga clothes showed off her perfect figure.
Fu Nian'an's eyes darkened slightly.
Le Yan was completely absorbed in her work, unaware of what was happening.
After she finished a yoga session, she raised her head slightly and unexpectedly met Fu Nian'an's deep gaze.
Le Yan paused. "What's wrong?"
Fu Nian'an cleared her throat and turned back to look at the computer.
"Don't take a shower right after you sweat." His deep voice was slightly hoarse.
Adam's apple bobbed.
Le Yan got up, picked up a towel and wiped her sweat. "I know."
Fu Nian'an typed the last word and closed the notebook.
Leyan walked to the small bar and poured herself a glass of warm water.
After finishing her glass of water, she turned to look at Fu Nian'an and asked, "By the way, would you mind letting Xu Qingyin know about our relationship?"
Le Yan paused, looking at him. "She saw you?"
“I ran into her outside before, but she doesn’t know I’m here to see you.”
Le Yan frowned. "Xu Qingyin hates me. If she finds out I'm with you, she'll be furious!"
Are you afraid of her?
"What are you afraid of!"
Fu Nian'an: "..."
“We’ve fought before!” Le Yan raised her chin. “If we really fought, I might not necessarily lose to her!”
"So, after she slapped you today, did you go back?"
Le Yan was taken aback.
She subconsciously reached up and touched her cheek. "You checked?"
"There's nothing I can do. My girlfriend doesn't know to complain to me, her boyfriend, so I have to find out for myself."
Upon hearing this, Le Yan hurriedly explained, "It's not that I didn't want to tell you, it's just that it was a rehearsal, and there was a scene in the play where I was supposed to be slapped."
Fu Nian'an frowned. "Your teacher asked the actors to actually hit each other?"
"No, how could that be!"
“That was Xu Qingyin’s doing on purpose.” Fu Nian’an’s face was cold and stern. “Yanyan, I know what you’re worried about.”
Le Yan lowered her head guiltily.
"Being my girlfriend, Fu Nian'an, doesn't require you to be tolerant. If anyone makes you feel wronged, go find them and make a big scene. Even if the sky falls, I'll still support you."
Fu Nian'an said seriously, "When you encounter problems, think about yourself first, then think about others."
Le Yan stared blankly at Fu Nian'an, feeling that Fu Nian'an seemed angry.
