The day of the proposal wasn't the dramatic, high-profile, or spectacular event that Mu Wenxi had feared. It was just an ordinary day, with only her and Lu Heting involved, yet it unexpectedly resonated with Mu Wenxi's wishes.
She had occasionally seen other people propose, like on the street, with lots of candles, 999 roses, and fireworks. Luckily, Lu Heting didn't do that; she didn't like being watched by others.
To understand why Lu Heting was so eager to propose, we have to go back to the day the two were about to move out of their dorm room.
Mu Wenxi's clothing studio is quite large, and it's unrealistic to say that it wasn't thanks to her family's efforts, she said frankly.
Who told Mu's father to generously invest so much money into Mu Wenxi's savings account? With this initial capital, starting a business would be much easier than starting one without money. But that doesn't mean she has it easier than others. She still has to work hard, spend every day in the studio, revise designs again and again, conduct market research, and make changes until finally a piece of clothing is made.
No one can imagine the hard work she put in during that time; she also lost a lot of weight. However, after more than a year, the studio slowly started to make a profit. In addition, Mu Wenxi had won several competitions and was indeed quite skilled. Now she has made up for her losses.
Academically, Mu Wenxi has no plans to pursue graduate studies; she intends to focus on starting her own business.
The days of living in the dormitory are coming to an end, and Mu Wenxi is slowly packing a lot of luggage to move to their small home.
Lu Heting, who had some free time, also came to help. He works at a law firm and has several cases on his hands. He is usually very busy, and he managed to spare half a day to come and meet her.
Mu Wenxi: "You've arrived?"
Lu Heting: "How's the packing going?"
Mu Wenxi: "That's about it. The big items are all packed, and there are still some small things left."
Lu Heting: "Then I'll help you tidy up."
Mu Wenxi: "Okay, the drawers and desk over there haven't been organized yet."
Lu Heting: "Leave it to me."
He went to Mu Wenxi's desk and began to tidy it up. The desk was a bit messy, mostly with Mu Wenxi's drawing and sewing tools. Fortunately, Lu Heting was a very patient person, and he quickly tidied everything up and put it in a box.
Next was the drawer, filled with a jumble of papers. Looking at the first few, Lu Heting smiled. These were ugly pictures Mu Wenxi would draw of him whenever she was angry with him. He picked up the papers one by one, laughing as he looked, but the smile vanished the next second.
In his hand was a medical record that stated that Mu Wenxi had congenital heart disease, and that it was from a few years ago.
Lu Heting recalled that it was around the same time as their breakup. Could it be that Mu Wenxi deliberately broke up with him because of her heart condition? But then couldn't bear to let go, so she secretly watched him? Or was there another reason?
His heart clenched. If he hadn't gotten back together with Mu Wenxi back then, he would never have known about this, and they might have missed each other for the rest of their lives.
As Mu Wenxi approached, Lu Heting casually placed the medical record he had just received under the other sheets of paper in front of him.
He continued tidying up, and Mu Wenxi glanced at him and said, "Take a look for me, and throw away anything that's useless."
Lu Heting: "Okay."
After Mu Wenxi finished speaking, she continued tidying her wardrobe, while Lu Heting hid the medical record she had just received on her person.
Mu Wenxi didn't see that Lu Heting behind him had red eyes. He felt guilty for not realizing that Mu Wenxi had a heart condition.
Soon everything on the table was tidied up, and Mu Wenxi's side was almost done as well.
Lu Heting: "I'm all set here. Is there anything else I can help you with?"
Mu Wenxi: "Ah, thank you. I'll be done soon on my end too."
Lu Heting stood beside her, and as soon as he saw Mu Wenxi about to lift something heavy, he immediately took it from her: "I'll do it, you rest for a while."
Mu Wenxi: "Oh, it's alright."
Lu Heting helped her to the side: "Sweetie, go and rest. I'll carry these downstairs."
Mu Wenxi: "You must be so tired by yourself. I'll go with you."
Lu Heting: "Listen to me, then you can take the lighter one."
Mu Wenxi: "Okay."
Lu Heting carried the items one by one to the car that was temporarily parked downstairs, while Mu Wenxi followed behind carrying some very light items.
The items were indeed very light; Lu Heting only allowed Mu Wenxi to carry a small bag of things, which weighed less than five pounds in total.
After the two of them went back and forth several times, they finished moving everything, and Mu Wenxi was finally able to rest. She hadn't expected that a room that looked small would actually have so much stuff to pack.
When Lu Heting arrived at their small home, Mu Wenxi opened the trunk to get something, but Lu Heting stopped her, saying, "You go inside and rest first. I can carry these things slowly."
Mu Wenxi: "It's okay, we can move them together. I'm not that fragile."
Lu Heting sighed, picked up Mu Wenxi, and carried her straight to the sofa in the living room before putting her down: "I don't want you to be so tired, okay? Otherwise, you're underestimating your man."
Although Mu Wenxi felt a warmth in her heart, she felt that Lu Heting was acting a little strange today, not letting her move this or that.
However, Mu Wenxi let him be, saying, "Alright then, I'll sit here and watch you. If you're tired, you can rest."
Lu Heting: "Hmm."
He moved quickly. Unlike a school, a villa doesn't require going up and down stairs. In just a few minutes, he had moved everything from the car to the living room. He parked the car in the garage before returning.
Mu Wenxi was watching TV when she saw Lu Heting return, and she quickly got up to wipe his sweat.
Lu Heting pulled Mu Wenxi into his arms without saying a word. Mu Wenxi reached out and patted his back: "What's wrong with you today? You're acting a bit strange."
Lu Heting: "It's okay, we can finally be together every day from now on."
Mu Wenxi said helplessly, "Don't you men all get tired of the old and crave the new? I just hope you won't find me annoying. When I get old and ugly and lose my novelty, you'll find me boring."
Lu Heting retorted somewhat vehemently: "No, that's someone else, and not all men are like that."
Mu Wenxi: "Okay, I know."
Lu Heting: "Okay, we'll organize the things tomorrow. You must be tired today, so take a rest."
Mu Wenxi: "Okay."
She went to bed early, unaware that Lu Heting had visited many shops late at night. When she opened the door the next morning, the whole house had changed.
Mu Wenxi rubbed her eyes, thinking she was still asleep. She closed the door, and opened it again a second later, only to find the floor covered with maple leaves.
The walls were covered with pretty maple leaves, and there was even a teddy bear made of maple leaves in the living room.
