Chapter 112 I Want You to Be with Me for the Rest of My Life
The light returned to my eyes, and what I saw was a trunk full of roses.
The delicate roses are dotted with small strings of warm yellow lights, and in the middle of the cluster of flowers, there is a separate bouquet of sunflowers and champagne roses.
Bright decorative lights illuminate this dark area, and the fragrance of flowers spreads in the evening breeze.
Lin Xu was so moved that he was speechless.
I opened my mouth and felt like crying.
Zhou Yan's surprise was too sudden. Today was neither a holiday nor their birthday.
Zhou Yan picked up the bouquet in the middle and held it in his arms.
It was the first time he did something so ritualistic, and he cleared his throat nervously.
Lin Xu turned to look at him: "Why are you doing this all of a sudden? I——"
Before he finished speaking, Zhou Yan knelt down on one knee in front of him with flowers in his hand.
Lin Xu's eyes widened instantly, his body seemed to be frozen, and the tears in his eyes were reflected by the small string of lights into countless stars.
"elder brother……"
Zhou Yan looked into Lin Xu's eyes and nervously forgot half of the words he had prepared. He had to lower his head and reorganize his words.
"Xu Xu, I confessed my feelings to you here last time, so I chose this place again today."
Zhou Yan took out a small box from his suit pocket. Lin Xu realized what might be inside and his hands were shaking a little.
"Xu Xu, we've known each other for so long, and it seems like I'm the one taking care of you. But you might not know that you've given me more psychological support."
"I think I can't leave you. I want you to stay with me forever. I want you to be with me for the rest of my life."
"I know we can't get married, but I still want to have a formal ceremony to commemorate this day."
"Xu Xu, are you willing to stay with me forever? No matter where we are or what we will do in the future, will you be with me?"
Zhou Yan's confession was almost pious, and after he finished speaking, he looked up at Lin Xu.
Lin Xu was already in tears.
"Why did you confess so suddenly without even giving me time to prepare myself... I do, of course I do... wuwu..."
Lin Xu pulled Zhou Yan up from the ground while crying, grabbed his clothes, put her head on his chest and cried breathlessly.
Zhou Yan was holding the flowers in one hand and hugging him with the other to comfort him: "Don't cry, don't cry. If someone hears you, they'll think I'm forcing you to get married."
Zhou Yan was a little suspicious. He seemed to have been a little too anxious and scared the child.
Lin Xu cried for a while and then calmed down.
He sniffed and stepped out of Zhou Yan's arms. Looking at his suit, he burst into laughter and said, "No wonder you're dressed like this so late at night."
Zhou Yan was a little embarrassed for once: "I want to look more formal."
"You are now formal. I just came back from the scene. I am covered in dirt and don't look handsome at all." Lin Xu pouted and complained to him.
"My Xuxu is always handsome." Zhou Yan took his hand and kissed the back of his hand.
"Nonsense." Lin Xu blushed and stretched out his hands in front of Zhou Yan, urging, "Put it on me."
Zhou Yan couldn't help laughing.
He put the flowers back into the trunk, then opened the exquisite little box, took out the ring with the smaller band and put it on Lin Xu's ring finger.
The size is perfect, the plain white ring is simple in style, and it looks great on Lin Xu.
Lin Xu also picked up another ring and put it on Zhou Yan's finger, then interlocked their fingers, and the two rings touched each other.
Lin Xu tilted her head back slightly, her cheeks flushed, and she looked at Zhou Yan and called out, "Husband."
Zhou Yan tightened his fingers instantly, put his arms around Lin Xu's waist and pressed him against himself, then lowered his head and kissed him.
"Lin Xu, I love you."
Zhou Yan confessed his love to Lin Xu in an infatuated manner.
Lin Xu put his arm around Zhou Yan's neck and responded: "Zhou Yan, I love you."
The two of them got back into the car. Zhou Yan didn't rush back, but instead asked Lin Xu, "If you consider it a proposal, isn't it too simple?"
He was worried that he didn't do well and that Lin Xu would feel regretful.
He made a last-minute decision today. As time was tight and it was evening, he went to several flower shops to get a cart of roses.
Lin Xu didn't think so: "I'm already very touched. If you make it more complicated, are you going to scare me to death?"
"I admit that ritual is important, but when I'm with you, what I most enjoy is the peace of mind and stability that comes from an ordinary life. As long as I can be sure that you will always be there, that's the best."
Lin Xu raised his hand and turned the ring on his finger. He couldn't let it go. It looked so beautiful no matter how he looked at it.
Her beautiful eyes curved into crescents, and the corners of her lips raised up a beautiful arc. Lin Xu seemed to be radiating the light of happiness.
At this time, Zhou Yan took out his bank card: "In our hometown, the custom is that your wife manages the money. You are my wife now, so this is for you."
How could Lin Xu dare to take it?
Based on his understanding of Zhou Yan's work and income, if this was his entire net worth, it would not be a small amount.
Moreover, he felt that compared to Zhou Yan, he really had no financial management concepts.
If you have to choose one of them who is suitable to manage the family finances, Zhou Yan is definitely more reliable.
"That won't work. Haven't you heard that men become bad when they have money?"
Lin Xu said, "I'm a man too. Aren't you afraid that I'll become a bad person if I take your money?"
Zhou Yan chuckled. "You don't have that ability, and I won't let you have that opportunity. Besides, all my payments are bound to this card, and all the money I spend comes from this card, so you don't have to worry about it. Take it, I changed the password to your birthday."
"What? So I'm just in charge in name only?" Lin Xu said deliberately, then put the card away. "Okay then, I'll keep it for now."
Lin Xu's idea was that this card could be used as a retirement savings card for the two of them, and he could deposit his future bonuses and salary into it. Then, they could realize their wish of retiring early before they reached retirement age.
Seeing that the time was ripe, Zhou Yan tried to test Lin Xu's thoughts.
"Xu Xu, do you like your current job?"
Lin Xu said without hesitation: "Yeah, I like it very much. What's wrong?"
"Then if I need time to do other things, I might be away from Jing City often, just for a while. Can you accept that?"
Lin Xu sat up straight from the backrest: "What do you mean? Where are you going? How long?"
He was wondering why Zhou Yan suddenly proposed to him and was preparing for a surprise. Did it turn out that he was going to have a job transfer?
The bright and happy mood just now suddenly became depressed.
Being often away from Beijing and rarely seeing Zhou Yan was really hard for Lin Xu.
"I don't know. If it's fast, maybe a month. If it's slow, a quarter should be enough."
"So where are you going? Why didn't you discuss it with me before?" Lin Xu was so anxious that she was about to cry.
Zhou Yan quickly comforted her: "No, I'm not leaving right away. I'm just discussing this with you. I plan to quit my job and open a B&B near your house. What do you think?"
