The man looked quite shy, a far cry from his previous domineering demeanor.
Rong Shang glanced at him, but still took two steps forward.
"Fourth Master, what do you mean by saying these things to me on purpose?"
In truth, ever since that kiss, Fu Jingchen and Rong Shang had been in an ambiguous relationship. The man hadn't made any explicit statements, and she hadn't made any further advances.
This morning, Fu Jingchen went to pay his respects to the old lady. When he heard her mention what happened that night, he realized that she had clearly expressed her feelings to his mother long ago.
When the old lady relayed Rong Shang's words to Fu Jingchen in detail, he was overjoyed and couldn't help but smile.
Now that she was right in front of him, Fu Jingchen felt inexplicably nervous.
He couldn't help but lick his dry lips, a faint smile playing on his cool, aloof features.
"I just want to ask you, if I married you, would you marry me?"
Upon hearing that sentence out of the blue, Rong Shang frowned slightly.
To be honest, this wasn't the first time she'd heard that phrase.
Including this time, that makes a total of three times.
The first two times, it was Fu Beiyao who said it.
She suddenly fell silent, and Fu Jingchen's expression changed slightly.
It's said that a woman's heart is like a needle at the bottom of the sea, and Fu Jingchen had no idea what she was thinking at this moment.
After all, it was the first time he had said these words to a woman, so he was unsure of himself and a little flustered.
He strode up to her and immediately put his arm around her. "Hmm?"
Her cool, clear voice emanated from the depths of her throat, both sexy and alluring.
Rong Shang raised her eyes to meet his gaze, and in the man's dark, bright eyes, she saw her own reflection.
But... she suddenly chuckled and teased, "I'm really curious about what kind of connection you and Tenth Master had in your past lives, or rather, were you mind readers?"
"..."
"Not only do they look alike, but they also speak in exactly the same way."
Fu Jingchen pursed his lips and frowned. "What did he say?"
"He also said what you just told me."
turn out to be……
Fu Jingchen lowered his eyes and tightened his grip on Rong Shang's waist. "Then, would you like him?"
After all, apart from their different personalities, they are cut from the same mold.
"Hmm... I'm willing to marry you." Rong Shang smiled casually. "Is that answer enough?"
"real?"
His eyes lit up, and Fu Jingchen immediately picked her up.
She chose him; the person she chose... was him.
*
That day, Fu Jingchen took Rong Shang to the old lady to announce their upcoming marriage.
The old lady was naturally delighted and instructed Lao Luo to prepare a large amount of delicacies and a generous dowry so that Fu Jingchen could propose marriage to the Mu family on a chosen day.
Although they were in love, Mu Yunshu was, after all, the daughter whom the Mu family had raised with great care. The Fu family still had to observe proper etiquette to show their sincerity.
Fu Jingchen naturally had no objections.
On Rong Shang's side, she repeatedly said, "No need to trouble yourself."
For people like Mu Qinghai, who only care about money and have no regard for family, no matter how much dowry they receive, it's just a waste of their money.
But no matter how bad they are, it's the Mu family's business, and outsiders don't know anything about it.
So in the end, Rong Shang couldn't persuade the old lady, and on an auspicious day five days later, Fu Jingchen brought betrothal gifts to propose marriage.
At that time, Rong Shang took a rickshaw back to the Mu family first.
When she returned, the whole family was quite surprised.
