Chapter 166: Surprise Proposal
Dai Shu yelled, "Ghost!"
Mingli: "Mom, I'm not a ghost. I saw that the battery was out and I thought you would be afraid of the dark, so I brought you a flashlight."
Nangong: "Don't be so naughty and scare people with a flashlight in the middle of the night, kid."
Dai Shu took the flashlight from Mingli's hand and said, "I thought you were asleep. Why are you out again?"
Mingli: "I used to stay up very late. Mom, did Dad give you a surprise?"
Dai Shu: "Your father is a liar. I sat with him all night and got nothing. He even said it was a surprise, but I didn't see any of the house, money, or stocks that you, Situ, promised me."
Mingli: "Don't worry, Mom. Dad never lies. He asked me to give you a surprise. I carefully selected this gift for you. Do you like it?"
Suddenly, the lights in the whole house came on again.
Mingli handed a small box to Dai Shu.
She took the box and opened it, and saw a diamond ring inside.
Dai Shu thought to himself, "Mingli, why don't you help me pick out a bigger diamond? Isn't it a bit ridiculous to ask your adopted son to choose an engagement ring for you?"
Dai Shu held the box in front of Nangong and said, "What's the point of asking a little kid to give me this?"
Nangong took out the ring and put it directly on the middle finger of Dai Shu's right hand.
Dai Shu: "I call you a scoundrel and you really are a scoundrel. How could anyone propose to me like you? Do you believe that I will take it off right now and reject you?"
Nangong: "I don't like the kneeling proposal thing. You'd better not take it off, or you will regret it."
Please understand the inner shadow that Dai Shu felt when he heard this.
"You'd better accept his proposal! No woman will refuse him." Situ came back for some reason and said with a smile as he walked into the hall.
Yang Ning and Jun Lan also followed.
Jun Lan: "Sister-in-law, stop pretending and quickly agree to my uncle's request! Be careful, or the shop in that village will be gone!"
Yang Ning: "Congratulations."
Dai Shu: "Okay, so you've been planning this for a long time, wanting to work together to plot against me. But don't you think it's too early to talk about this now? After all, the parties involved haven't spoken yet."
Everyone looked towards Nangong.
Nangong coughed a few times to clear his throat and then said word by word: "Miss Dai Shu, are you willing to marry me, Nangong Yu?"
Dai Shu touched the diamond ring on his middle finger and thought, "Although this ring is a little inferior, it's still a diamond ring after all. It's better to have it than not to have it."
She nodded: "Okay, since you are so kind, I will agree to it."
Nangong kissed her directly on the mouth.
Jun Lan: "Although my uncle's proposal process was a bit of a joke, it was still a process. After all, Fan Xi did propose to me. Unlike some people who just get someone pregnant and then force her to marry him."
Yang Ning: "I neglected it, okay? I'll make it up to you on our wedding anniversary next year."
Jun Lan: "Keep your word."
Yang Ning: "Of course, I, Yang Ning, will definitely keep my promise."
Situ: "When will you announce the wedding and when will we tell Queen Ying?"
Nangong: "I'll take care of this."
Jun Lan: "Uncle, are you done? If there is nothing else, we have to go home. It's late and we are very tired!"
Mingli: "Yes, father, I am sleepy too."
Nangong: "Alright, alright, every time I ask you to do something small, you always give me such a perfunctory response. Just go back to where you came from! Now there is no more work for you, get out!"
When everyone left one by one, Nangong held Dai Shu's hand and said, "Where are you going now?"
Dai Shu: "Go back to where you came from. Go home."
Nangong: "How are you going to get home without my car now? This will be your home from now on. You can sleep with me tonight."
Xu Lin and Yue Xiaofeng's home.
Xu Lin: "Do you think it was really Ke Xiaodong who did it?"
Yue Xiaofeng: "Apart from him, I really can't think of anyone else who is so crazy and heartless!"
Xu Lin: "I always feel that this matter is not that simple. It is possible that Ke Xiaodong was wrongly accused and made a scapegoat."
Yue Xiaofeng: "Your professional flaw has struck me again. Don't be like that Lin Junlan, talking nonsense all day long based on intuition. The most taboo in our line of work is to act on emotion. Everything must be based on evidence. Didn't you teach me that? Why are you the one talking nonsense lately?"
Xu Lin: "You're completely lacking evidence to conclude that he did it based solely on a video of him surrendering himself."
Yue Xiaofeng: "What do you mean by lack of evidence? If he didn't do it, why would he record such a video? In the end, he even committed suicide out of fear of being found guilty. Let me tell you, Xu Lin, don't think the police force can't do without you. We can still solve the case without you."
Xu Lin: "I'm not saying you're incompetent. I really don't mean that, but...never mind. Can you let me see that video?"
Yue Xiaofeng: "You are on leave now to take care of your pregnancy. You must not interfere in the affairs of the police force. Even if I report it to the captain, he will decide not to let you touch the evidence."
Xu Lin: "This is not possible, and that is not possible. Aren't you making me anxious at home?"
Yue Xiaofeng: "Your temper is flaring up again. I can't convince you, so I'll call Lin Junlan right now and ask her to come up and talk to you."
After a while, Lin Junlan came to my house where Xu Lin was waiting.
I just happened to meet Yue Xiaofeng about to go out.
She pulled Yue Xiaofeng aside and said, "Why did you call me up here? The atmosphere here seems a little off. You guys are arguing again."
Yue Xiaofeng: "You came at the perfect time. I have to rush to handle the case. You are all women and mothers, so you are easy to talk to. Please help her. Her temper is getting worse and worse. She knows that our work requires a certain degree of confidentiality. She always blames me for not telling her the truth. What can I do?"
Jun Lan patted his shoulder and said, "Pregnant women tend to be a bit irritable. Go back to work and leave this to me."
After Yue Xiaofeng left, Xu Lin couldn't help but scold him.
"Did that bastard just now tell you a bunch of shit about me? He got really impatient after asking him a few questions. Just wait and see how I'll deal with him when I get back to the police force. I was so blind to marry him in the first place."
Jun Lan: "Now that you're on vacation, you're no longer the famous Captain Xu Lin at the police station. You're just a pregnant woman recuperating at home. When he returns home, he's no longer your subordinate. You have to learn to be gentler with him."
Xu Lin: "I understand what you mean. For the sake of harmony and well-being in this family, I have tried to be gentle with him, but I just can't do it!"
Jun Lan: "Hey, you should just be yourself. I think you've become sick from being bored at home. I'd like to go for a walk in the park with you."
