Final Chapter
In the following days, Xu Yinyin went to work and ate melons as usual from nine to five, the only difference was that Huo Yan took over all her time after get off work.
He either took her to a newly opened restaurant to try food, or took her to play various indoor sports, such as skiing, squash, and surfing. He went to the amusement park on Saturdays and skydiving on weekends. His daily schedule was clearly arranged for her.
During national holidays, he would fly abroad, sometimes to look for delicious food, and sometimes to buy her a new gadget.
Under Huo Yan's various considerate offensives, Xu Yinyin gradually got used to his company, and the two of them got along more and more tacitly.
As the news of Huo Yan's return to China gradually spread among the upper class, various banquet invitations came in. In the past, in such situations, Huo Yan would directly send his secretary to handle the matter.
But it’s different now. My girlfriend likes to eat melons, so of course he has to accompany her in person.
"Baby, just follow me when we get there. I'll take care of the socializing. You can pay attention to me if you want to, and ignore me if you don't want to."
"Yeah, I know." Xu Yinyin responded calmly.
[I have to say, my boyfriend is really great. He's considerate, gentle, and playful. For the past two weeks, I've been completely distracted by him and have no time to focus on work. No wonder they say it's easy to go from frugality to luxury.]
[Haha, now I know how good she is. Who was the one who resisted her in the beginning?]
[Tsk, who hasn't made mistakes when they were young and ignorant? I've changed now, haven't I? I've made up my mind. A prodigal son who returns to the right path is worth more than gold.]
[Heh~ Woman! ]
[Although I had a lot of fun, I still prefer to eat melons at a party. This is another kind of feast. I hope you like it too.]
[I used to like eating melons, but now I prefer to follow you guys into a relationship and experience all kinds of new things with your boss. It's more interesting than eating melons.]
[Each has its own merits, and there's no reason to favor one over the other. Furthermore, because of your status, there are only so many such gatherings, enough for you to enjoy until the end of time.]
"Right, right, you're both right. You and Huo Yan are now in a confirmed relationship, so marriage is probably on the agenda. I'm guessing the old man has already discussed it with Grandma Yan."
"Don't you think about it? Uncle Zhang, whom Grandpa arranged for me, is his spy. He knows the most about A-Yan and I's progress. Haven't you seen how busy our family has been lately? Mom's meeting with designers and discussing things with planners. It's obvious she's preparing for her daughter's wedding. The wedding has already been on the agenda."
[What if Huo Yan suddenly proposed to you, would you agree? ]
"Of course I agree. I won't have to work after I get married. I have to agree just for this reason."
"Can't you think of something else? It's really hurtful. I like you so much."
Huo Yan nodded vigorously in his heart. His girlfriend's love for him was too bland. Sometimes he was not even as good as a dish.
The way his girlfriend looked at him was not as enthusiastic as when she was eating the melon, which made him very distressed.
Although their relationship has made great progress, in terms of intimate actions, it has only reached kissing. This is too cruel for a person who only blooms in middle age.
"Even if I want to pursue his desires, I have to wait for the right time. With you as a burden, even if I want to make something happen, I always feel like someone is watching."
【Is it my fault?】
[Otherwise, can I block you? ]
[What do you want to do? Are you so impatient? ]
Huo Yan's eyes lit up. Whether he could take the next step with his wife depended on this moment.
[Nonsense, such a high-quality man, only good to look at but not to eat, wouldn't you be anxious if it were you?]
Although the system was unhappy with the host's disregard for beauty, it still said magnanimously: [Just stop thinking about me and completely ignore my existence.]
【Is it that simple? Let me try! 】
The next second, the system seemed to have blocked all senses and fell into endless darkness.
System: QAQ Woohoo, you are so disloyal!
Xu Yinyin took the opportunity to kiss Huo Yan. The deep kiss lasted for at least five minutes, and only stopped when she had aroused him.
Huo Yan: Even though it's just an experiment, there's no need to arouse people's anger :)
【Xiao Qi, what did I just do? 】
Xu Yinyin's tone of voice was filled with eagerness to show off, just like a little kid who had just gotten a toy and was eager to show it off.
[I don't know. I haven't seen or heard anything, and I can't even imagine it. It's outrageous, but if I had to guess, you must have done something shameful to him.]
[Hey, hey, now I know how to control your online and offline time.]
"Then I also know when you want to do something bad, hehe."
[Don't worry, just use your imagination. As long as you can't see it, it's fine.]
[Will you neglect eating melons because you are obsessed with beauty? ]
It's a melon-eating system. If it doesn't eat melons for a long time, it will die.
How could that be? Feelings are just a side dish. Eating melons is the real joy of life. Don't worry, I won't abandon you for someone else. Life without eating melons is meaningless.
[Yeah, then I feel relieved. I know you won't let me down. Love you, Umbro.]
The system flatteringly offers a heart of warm love.
Xu Yinyin was amused by its dog legs and smiled foolishly.
Huo Yan couldn't help but laugh as well, and took her hand, interlocking their fingers.
The car quickly drove into the banquet venue, and the two got out hand in hand and walked into the main hall.
Xu Yinyin's eyes suddenly lit up, and she seemed quite impatient.
[Xiao Qi, it's time to open the melon. ]
【Here we come! 】
As the two people's voices rang in everyone's ears, the melon-babies who knew the situation pricked up their ears, while those who didn't know the situation were shocked and surprised and looked around.
The host of the banquet felt a chill down his spine. Oh no, he forgot that Huo Yan’s girlfriend was the famous melon queen Xu Yinyin.
[The host is quite respectable and doesn't have much to eat, but the guests attending the dinner are different. Are you ready?]
When the owner heard that he was spared, he immediately felt relieved and pricked up his ears to wait for the melon.
When it comes to eating melons, of course other people’s melons are sweeter.
The guests targeted by the system had their own thoughts. Some were curious and waiting for the melons, some were terrified, and some were even ready to flee.
[Ready, let's go!]
[OK, those two sisters at 8 o'clock, the one in the little black dress and the one in the dark blue tube top, do you see them?]
Everyone calmly searched for the target and then locked onto it.
[Hmm, I saw it. What melon?]
[The two sisters just divorced last month and then remarried. The elder sister married her brother-in-law and the younger sister married her brother-in-law.]
[Good fellow, it's true that good things should be kept within the family! ]
Huo Yan just took a sip of wine and choked on the words, his face flushed. "Cough cough cough."
Even though he had prepared himself mentally, Huo Yan was still frightened by the melon and choked.
"Drink slowly." Xu Yinyin patted his back to help him breathe.
"It's okay, I'm fine." Huo Yan hurriedly took her hand to comfort her.
Not only him, but everyone who received the melon from the Melon King for the first time was shocked. It turned out that eating melon was a mixed pleasure in life, full of surprises, outrageous and explosive.
Modo Modo, keep driving!
Seeing that Huo Yan had recovered, Xu Yinyin brought him a glass of water and watched him drink it before continuing to eat the melon.
【Go on, go on.】
[At nine o'clock on the right, there's a young lady wearing a water-blue silk dress with waist-length hair.]
[Yeah, I see.]
[The second week after she broke up with her ex-boyfriend, he became her stepfather.]
[Oh my, is this the legendary "If I can't be your boyfriend, I'll be your father"? Awesome!]
[But this stepfather didn't marry her mother, he got married to the little sister's father in a foreign country.]
【vocal!!! !!! 】
"Puff--cough cough cough!"
Some guests were so frightened that they spat out their wine, and the whole place was filled with choking and coughing sounds.
[Hey, what's wrong with these people? Is there something wrong with the alcohol? ]
【I'm afraid I drank fake wine. 】
Host: Thank you. They are all excellent whiskeys. It’s just that your melons were too big and your bodies couldn’t handle it. :)
[Who cares? Is there anything else?]
[Right in front of you, a man and a woman, across the long dining table, glaring at each other. Do you see that bitter couple?]
[Hmm, what melon? ]
[The two had just broken up, but they had done everything they should have done while the relationship was established. After the breakup, the woman was angry about the loss of two years of her youth, so she sued him for wear and tear compensation, 200 yuan each time, totaling 200,000 yuan.]
Xu Yinyin was stunned. [Is this the wear and tear fee I thought it was? The wear and tear caused by the movement when Jiang Jiang was brewing?]
[Hmm, is that outrageous?]
【Hahahaha, this is too weird. 】
The onlookers who understood what was happening were also trying hard to hold back their laughter, and then listened--
[What's bizarre is that the man followed suit and demanded compensation for the output of human essence.]
[Hahaha, I'm dying of laughter. No wonder they say, two different people can sleep in the same bed.]
The onlookers were trying to hold back their laughter until their entire bodies were shaking. Huo Yan even pinched his palms hard to keep from losing his composure. It was truly outrageous and hilarious.
The person who was exposed was so angry that he was shaking all over, but he couldn't find the source of the sound. It's outrageous!
[The forest is so big, there are all kinds of people.]
[That's not true. In fact, many times, the gossips of young people are not as explosive as those of some old foxes.]
How do you say it?
The crowd looked around in tacit understanding, their eyes sweeping over the crowd over fifty years old one by one.
[Did you see the family of seven standing with the host?]
Everyone looked at the target group, and when they were suddenly called out, a chill ran down the spines of the family of seven.
I see.
[Don't be fooled by the loving father and filial son appearance of this family. In fact, the old man is the most romantic. He often has affairs with other women. If he finds one that he can't get rid of, he will directly let his son marry him. Those three beautiful daughters-in-law are all his romantic debts.]
[Oh my god, only the older generation knows how to have fun!]
[Also, after marriage, they have to take turns sleeping with the husband. Whoever provides the best service will give money to the husband. When the sons run out of money, they will compete to send their wives to serve him.]
[Good fellow, does the old man think he is the emperor?]
[All I can say is that they are playing a very new kind of family relationship. They are still going strong!]
The melon owner's face turned red and he said goodbye in a hurry and left. Seeing this, his three sons followed him.
【Hey, why did you leave suddenly? 】
[The old man probably wants to study the mysteries of life with his daughter-in-law again.]
The onlookers bit their lips and said, "God is fucking studying the mysteries of life. I'm dying of laughter!"
[Burp~ I'm really full from the melon tonight. ]
Xu Yinyin said she couldn't eat anymore, so she pulled Huo Yan to the dining table to find food.
However, the guests' interest has been aroused by her. Their melon-eating souls have turned into little devils, jumping back and forth in their hearts. Hurry up, this is the correct way to open a banquet!
However, Huo Yan didn't want his baby to be too tired. Seeing that her share of melon for today was full, he took care of her to eat and drink well, then said goodbye to his master and left.
After witnessing the strength of the Melon King, everyone present silently made a decision that in the future, no banquet would be held without Huo Yan and Xu Yinyin!
As soon as the two of them got in the car, Xu Yinyin, feeling full and tired, fell asleep on his shoulder. Huo Yan rested her head on his legs to make her sleep more comfortably.
The more he interacted with her, the more he felt that his girlfriend was like a child, heartless, who would sleep after eating and play and eat melons after waking up. She was so easy to feed.
Being able to spend my life with her is the greatest blessing in life.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but bend over and kiss the corner of her lips, but she suddenly hooked the back of his head and deepened the kiss.
After the kiss, Huo Yan touched her nose and asked with a smile, "You're actually pretending to be asleep. You're getting more and more naughty."
"Ayan, can I not go home tonight?" Xu Yinyin said shyly.
Huo Yan was startled at first, then his eyes suddenly filled with endless joy, "Are you serious?"
"Yeah." Xu Yinyin nodded shyly, "Don't you want to?"
"Of course I do. You know best how hard it is for me to endure. Baby, are you sure you want to take it one step further with me?"
Putting aside the physical desire, Xu Yinyin's decision was tantamount to complete trust and dependence on Huo Yan. While he was eager for it, he was also sincerely reminding her not to regret her impulsive behavior.
"Whether you like it or not, I've decided to be with you for the rest of my life. I've always emphasized that in our relationship, you'll always be the dominant one, and I'm willing to follow you. So, don't compromise or give in just to accommodate my feelings, okay?"
Xu Yinyin knew that Huo Yan was respectful and considerate enough to her, and this decision was not made on impulse. She really wanted to take things a step further with Huo Yan.
Although they will get married in the future, sometimes it is natural to take a step further when the love is strong. Huo Yan tried his best to be patient every time. She could see and feel that he cared about and cherished her.
"I'm not backing down. I really want to take things a step further with you. When you're patient, I'm patient too, okay?"
Xu Yinyin murmured with some resentment.
Huo Yan pinched her face, and couldn't help but kiss her, then held her in his arms, feeling quite flustered and awkward.
"Baby, I love you so much."
Xu Yinyin's cheeks flushed, and she replied shyly, "Me too."
*
When Xu Yinyin woke up again, it was already noon the next day. When she opened her eyes, she saw discarded clothes all over the floor. The messy appearance revealed her anxiety and excitement last night.
Thinking back to what Huo Yan did last night, she wished she could find a hole to crawl into.
How could he be so good? It didn't feel like the first time at all. No wonder they said men were innately good at that. She had experienced it deeply.
Just as he was lost in thought, Huo Yan pushed the door open, looking refreshed. With the sunlight streaming in from the window, he looked even more energetic.
On the other hand, she felt so sore all over that she felt like she was falling apart. It was really frustrating to compare herself with others.
"Wake up, baby. Are you hungry? I made breakfast. Eat it and then go to sleep, okay?"
Huo Yan lay down beside her, and his loose nightgown opened, revealing the ambiguous red marks on his chest and abdominal muscles. At one glance, Xu Yinyin felt embarrassed and quickly pulled the quilt to cover her head.
[Oh my god, am I born in the Year of the Dog? How could I do that to someone? But I really like his waist and abdominal muscles. Ahhhh, I can’t think about it anymore. My body can’t take it!]
Huo Yan was touched by her adorable voice. Thinking back on his performance last night, he thought he should be able to satisfy his baby.
Thinking of this, Huo Yan raised his chin proudly and picked her up with the quilt.
Xu Yinyin was so frightened that she stretched out her hands to hug him and said in horror: "What are you doing? I haven't put on any clothes yet."
"It doesn't matter. You're beautiful even without clothes. I like every look of yours, baby."
After saying that, he ignored Xu Yinyin's struggle, carried her to the restaurant, put her on his lap, and fed her porridge mouthful by mouthful.
His deep eyes watched her eat awkwardly in small bites without blinking, and the smile never faded from his face.
When Xu Yinyin watched movies before, she always felt that the affectionate look between couples was a bit artificial. Now she has finally become the person she hates.
Last night, as long as she looked at him, he performed very hard, which made her lose her mind.
Xu Yinyin had learned her lesson and didn't dare to look him in the eye. She just lowered her eyes and stared at the floor in a daze. Unexpectedly, someone teased her and asked her with a smile, "Do you want it again?"
"Ah?!" Xu Yinyin looked up blankly, then shook her head in fear, "No, no, my legs are so sore."
"If you don't want it, just drink the rest of the bird's nest." Huo Yan gestured with a spoon.
"But I can't drink anymore. I just want to sleep."
"Okay, then don't eat. Let's go to bed."
Huo Yan helped her wipe her mouth, carried her back to the bedroom, and after gently putting her on the bed, he also lay down in the quilt, hugged her from behind, rested his head on her neck, and closed his eyes.
Xu Yinyin's body suddenly froze. Huo Yan smiled and said, "Don't be afraid. Just go to sleep and I won't bother you."
"You keep your word."
"Well, go to sleep. I'm not sure I can keep my word if I continue talking."
Upon hearing this, Xu Yinyin quickly closed her eyes and soon fell asleep.
After making sure she was asleep, Huo Yan slowly got up, covered her with the quilt, and kissed her forehead before leaving.
As soon as we got down to the first floor, the three unfilial sons came with props to set the scene.
The day he came back from Country R, Huo Yan had been brainstorming to prepare for the proposal. It took him almost half a month to finally come up with a rough outline, and today all that was left was to put the finishing touches on it.
"Brother Yan, you were so anxious that we thought you were going to propose today." He Yang said with some resentment.
"Today is a good day, today is it."
"Huh?!!!" the three of them exclaimed at the same time.
"No way, if I really ask for it today, where's the ring?"
Huo Yan pulled out a dark blue velvet box from his pocket and waved it in front of the three people, his face full of pride. "Just arrived this morning."
"Oh~ No wonder you urged us to come here, it seems you had it all planned out."
Ji Kai looked dejected, "I was the one who started dating, but you ended up being the first one to propose, tsk!"
"Who can predict fate? I thought Brother Yan was gay."
Huo Yan glanced at him and urged, "Stop talking nonsense and get to work."
The three of them resigned themselves to their fate and walked towards the backyard, diligently preparing for the work. Imagining the scene of their sister-in-law inspecting the finished product, they immediately became full of energy.
No matter what, sister-in-law had been negotiating Huo Yan for them for a while, and giving sister-in-law an impressive proposal was just a reward.
Huo Yan acted like a boss, ordering people around, and his picky and mean look was just like Zhou Paopi.
The three of them were busy until the afternoon, and before they could even have a sip of water, they were hurriedly chased away by Huo Yan.
The three of them were still cursing him until they got in the car, saying that he was inhumane.
Huo Yan had no need to show any humanity in front of his unfilial son and just treated him like an animal.
In his opinion, proposing marriage is not a constraint and does not require so many witnesses. If the other party agrees, everyone will be happy. If the other party does not agree, he can also give the other party a good way out.
So, from the very beginning, he didn't want anyone to be present. He would just throw it away after use, and he had no burden at all.
Guessing that she should have woken up, he went to the room to check on his future wife as soon as he sent the people away. He found that she was still sleeping soundly. Suddenly he felt a little annoyed, thinking that he shouldn't have troubled her like that.
But this emotion only lasted for a few seconds. His wife was so sweet, how could he not enjoy her to his heart's content? Next time, he would do the same.
Putting aside the romantic thoughts in his heart, Huo Yan returned to the restaurant and began to prepare a candlelight dinner.
When Xu Yinyin walked out of the bedroom, she saw Huo Yan, wearing an apron and busying himself between the dining room and the kitchen.
This is the state of being at home, and it is the first time she has seen him like this. Compared to his arrogance and coldness when they first met, he is now really considerate and gentle.
Of course, this only applies under the bed.
"Do you need help?" she asked casually.
"Baby, you're awake. Just sit down and wait for your meal."
"Okay." She took it for granted.
It has to be said that Huo Yan's cooking skills are quite good, and the presentation is also good. The moment the rice was handed to her, she couldn't wait to say, "I'm going to eat."
Huo Yan nodded and began to serve her some food. He ate very slowly, perhaps because he was nervous. He felt that his cooking skills today were a little disappointing.
"Is it delicious?" he asked nervously.
Xu Yinyin was extremely hungry. She gobbled up the food in no time and had no time to speak. She just nodded and said "hmm".
"Eat slowly, don't choke." Huo Yan hurriedly served her soup and brought it to her side.
Xu Yinyin took two sips and was finally full. After eating and drinking, she noticed that Huo Yan had hardly moved his chopsticks.
"Why didn't you eat?"
"I'm not hungry, are you full, baby?"
"I'm full."
"Then come with me for a walk in the backyard?" Huo Yan gestured to the small courtyard behind him.
They came in a hurry last night and their minds were elsewhere. Xu Yinyin suddenly became interested in this small courtyard which looked luxurious from the outside.
"Okay." She responded enthusiastically, then added: "But I have to go back tonight, you can take me there later."
"Can't you stay one more night? I promise I won't do anything." Huo Yan looked aggrieved.
If the proposal fails, you can comfort her immediately, but if she really leaves, it will be dangerous.
"Do you think I believe it?" Xu Yinyin said with a teasing look on her face.
"Well, okay, go ahead. It's just being alone in an empty room. I'll get used to it. Even if I've experienced warmth before, I can get used to the cold again."
Xu Yinyin ignored his hesitation and stood up first and walked towards the backyard.
Huo Yan saw that playing the victim was useless, so he could only hurry up and grab her hand, interlocking their fingers, while secretly negotiating terms: "Can you stay a little longer?"
"Eleven at the latest."
"good."
The two of them walked slowly towards the backyard along the path paved with white flagstones.
The overall style of the courtyard is that of a European courtyard, with lush greenery and colorful flowers competing for beauty. There is a small fountain in the center of the courtyard, and the gurgling water shades the surrounding greenery, which is quite interesting.
To the left along the pool is an exquisite leisure platform. The modern floor lamps and light strips create a unique romantic atmosphere here.
In the landscape pond on the side, the rocks and flowing water add a lot of spirituality to the courtyard.
Further ahead is a huge lake. From afar, the sun is slowly setting in the west. The two stand hand in hand in the sunset, bathing in the orange glow, gazing at the distant mountains. The clear lake reflects the warm orange sky, and every place is as beautiful as a picture scroll.
"The scenery here is so beautiful." Xu Yinyin sighed sincerely.
"If you like, this can be your home too." Huo Yan turned to look at her, put her hand to his lips and kissed it.
Xu Yinyin smiled knowingly, "Does this count as a marriage proposal?"
"No, a marriage proposal cannot be so hasty." Huo Yan took it seriously.
Xu Yinyin smiled. "Then, in your opinion, what kind of proposal is considered solemn?"
Huo Yan smiled but said nothing. The wind started to blow, so he took the opportunity to say, "I'll get you a coat. It'll be cold tonight."
"Thank you." Xu Yinyin did not pursue his deliberate avoidance and thanked him with a smile.
After he left, she didn't wait there, but walked around on her own.
More than ten minutes passed and he still didn't come back. Xu Yinyin was a little puzzled. When she was about to go back the way she came, the lights around her suddenly came on.
The courtyard seemed to have suddenly fallen into a starry sky, and countless star-shaped lights illuminated the surroundings like daylight.
The previously dim cobblestone road also lit up, but compared to the patches of light around, the light under your feet was created by small clusters of light strips. If you look closely, you will find that there is a mystery in the light strips.
It's more like a mini display, with orange-pink text scrolling by - move forward.
She tried to take a step forward, and another light strip lit up, with the text displaying - five steps to the left.
Xu Yinyin's face showed joy, and an idea was surging in her mind.
[Xiaoqi, Xiaoqi, does Ayan want to propose to me? ]
Her voice was filled with excitement and joy.
The system had been blocked for a whole day and night, and the resentment was greater than a ghost. Upon hearing this, he replied angrily: "Just beg me. You've already done this and that to him, how dare he not beg me?"
"No, that's not the case. Look at the surrounding layout. It would take at least ten days or half a month to complete."
The system took a casual scan and found that the lamp beads alone were made of pure crystal and handmade, and each one was very expensive. Looking at the matching wire layout and the mini high-tech display screen on the ground, it was indeed no small project.
But what does that have to do with it!
Once they get married and have no melons to eat, it will be ruthlessly locked up in a small dark room. It will be pitch black and there will be no light at all. It simply can't stand it. It's too lonely, wuwuwu.
If it had known they were so annoying, it would never have told the host how to block itself. It is only digging its own grave!
If it had intestines, they would probably be blue-black!
【Since they put so much thought into it, you just pretend you don’t know.】
[I knew it was a proposal, but I had no idea where it was going until the very end. I'm so excited, Xiao Qi. How could Huo Yan be so clever?]
[Oh, it's just a trick of the rich! ]
Xu Yinyin didn’t have time to pay attention to Xiaoqi who had transformed into freshly squeezed lemonade. She just wanted to follow the signs.
After walking five steps to the left, the next sign lights up - please open the treasure chest in front of you.
Xu Yinyin looked at the empty space at her feet. There was nothing there. Just as she was wondering, a secret compartment suddenly opened on the ground, and then a paper box about one meter high slowly rose up.
When Xu Yinyin guessed that there might be a ring hidden inside, she opened it and saw that it contained all kinds of snacks that she usually ate, lying in colorful colors, waiting for the owner's favor.
Xu Yinyin smiled knowingly. These things were unexpected but reasonable. How could he understand her so well?
Xu Yinyin continued to walk forward following the signs. When she had walked through the entire yard, the lights around her suddenly dimmed.
"Huh? There won't be a power outage, will it?" Xu Yinyin was a little amused.
How could there be a power outage? The boss is proposing to you and he wants to take you to the moon on a rocket to confess his love. Power outage? Let's play. It must be another surprise.
The system's tone still lingered with sourness.
Suddenly, a crystal lamp bead lit up in front of him, forming a heart shape from bottom to top, and Huo Yan was standing in the center of the heart.
The man who had just been shouting about going back to the room to get his girlfriend's coat had already changed into a very formal three-piece suit, which perfectly outlined his broad shoulders, narrow waist and long legs. Huo Yan, who had shed his homely casual style, once again transformed into a cold and domineering CEO, standing in the center of the heart, looking at her a little awkwardly.
Seeing her looking at him with a smile, Huo Yan was so excited that he couldn't speak. After calming down for a long time, he slowly said, "Yinyin, come here."
The tone that was supposed to be a command trembled slightly because of his nervousness.
If you look closely, you can see that his hands hanging at his sides are constantly curled up and unclenched, and a sense of tension is overwhelming.
Xu Yinyin walked slowly towards him, laughing and teasing as she walked: "Aren't you going to get me a coat? Why are you dressed so formally?"
Huo Yan's nervousness was mostly calmed by her joking and cheerful tone. He extended his hand to signal, and Xu Yinyin did not hesitate and placed her hand in his palm.
The moment he held her, she clearly felt his body trembling slightly. She walked up to him, put her arms around his waist, and looked up to tease him: "You are actually nervous, it's rare."
Huo Yan also smiled and touched hers affectionately with the tip of his nose, then took a deep breath silently, staring at her without blinking with a very formal and sincere look.
"Yinyin, I've waited for this day for twenty-nine years. Before this, I'd never imagined what my future wife would be like, or even considered whether I'd ever get married. It wasn't until I met you and fell in love with you that I knew you were the one for me. Xu Yinyin, will you marry me and be Huo Yan's wife?"
Huo Yan knelt on one knee, raised his right hand behind his back, and unclenched his fist with his palm facing up. A small blue velvet square box lay quietly in his palm.
It clearly looked weightless, but from Huo Yan's solemn expression and nervous eyes, one could tell that this small box carried all his hopes and expectations.
Xu Yinyin looked back at him. Her silence made Huo Yan's heart beat faster, but the smile that slowly spread in her eyes comforted him.
Just when he was about to ask again, Xu Yinyin picked up the box in his palm and gently opened it. When the diamond ring came into view, Xu Yinyin could no longer suppress the emotion in her heart, and her eyes instantly became wet.
"Is this the one we saw in the vintage shop in Country F last time? You actually bought it back. Didn't the owner refuse to sell it?"
"The owner didn't sell it, so I re-drew the sketch based on my memory and gave it to a designer I know who refined it. It was just finished this morning, although it's not that—"
Before Huo Yan finished speaking, Xu Yinyin hugged him, buried her head in his chest, and said in a muffled voice: "I am willing, Huo Yan. Xu Yinyin is willing to be Huo Yan's wife, grow old with you, and never separate.
Who can resist such a caring boyfriend? She has completely fallen for him.
Huo Yan was stunned where he was, his eyes filled with surprise and joy. After a long while, he hugged her back, tightening his embrace with satisfaction. "Thank you, darling. I love you. Please take care of me for the rest of my life, my wife."
Even though there was still resentment in the heart, the system couldn't help but burst into tears after witnessing the two people's success.
[Wow, even though I have a problem with you two locking me up in a dark room whenever you two get too close, seeing you two so happy is still very touching. Never mind, I forgive you. Wow, I'm throwing flowers! Congratulations!]
The moment Huo Yan put the ring on Xu Yinyin's finger, the lights around him lit up at the same time, and the sky suddenly became bright, with countless fireworks exploding above their heads. Xu Yinyin snuggled up to Huo Yan, quietly enjoying the splendor and beauty of this moment.
On the day of Xu Yinyin and Huo Yan's wedding, elders and friends from both families were invited to attend. As requested by the two, the wedding was not a grand affair, and only the closest friends and relatives were invited to the banquet. The venue was Huo Yan's private island, with sunshine, beaches and delicious food, which was exactly the kind of wedding Xu Yinyin wanted most.
Surrounded by everyone, the newlyweds went through the ceremony very casually, exchanged wedding rings, read their vows, and completed the ceremony.
The rest of the time, the guests were drinking, chatting, dancing and partying, and the newlyweds were mingling among the guests, talking about everything under the sun, making it very lively.
"That's great! I never thought I'd be able to see A-Yan get married in my lifetime. I once thought I would never see my granddaughter-in-law." Yan Yashan looked at the newlyweds who looked like a perfect match, and tears welled up in his eyes.
Xu Hongtian thought of the rumors about Huo Yan and couldn't help laughing. "I can be considered to have watched Ah Yan grow up. You actually believed those nonsense. I'm afraid you must be senile."
"Yes, when people get old, they tend to have wild thoughts. Now that A Yan and Yin Yin have finally gotten married, we can all rest assured."
"That's right, let's go too?" Xu Hongtian raised his glass to gesture.
Yan Yashan clinked glasses with him with a smile, and their eyes were full of relief as they looked at each other.
Jiang Xin looked at her daughter with a happy face, her eyes red with emotion: "With Yinyin gone, there are only three of us left at home again. She just came back not long ago, and she left me again, wuwu--"
"Oh, it's a happy day, why are you crying? Yinyin and Ayan are in love with each other, this is the best ending, we should be happy. Besides, Zhou Xinyi and Qian Chuan have been arrested, and the evidence provided by Lao Er and Yaoyao is enough to put them in jail for life. Our family no longer has any worries. This is such a moment worth celebrating. Don't cry, honey, I beg you."
"Yes, mother. From now on, everything will be smooth sailing for us. My sister and her husband love each other, and their families are old friends. This is the most perfect marriage. We should all be happy for my sister. Stop crying, okay?"
Jiang Xin nodded and quickly adjusted her mood: "Okay, I won't cry anymore. I should be happy that Yin Yin has found true love."
On the other side, Huo Yan looked at the gift lists of the three unfilial sons with a half-smile. Listed on the gift lists were private islands, airplanes, and yachts. It was really a huge expense.
However, these were actually the ones that several people had specifically requested to be given to their wives, and Huo Yan felt complicated.
"What does this mean?"
"Isn't it what brothers should do to respect their sisters-in-law?"
"It's just a small token of my appreciation, Brother Yan, you can't think it's too little?"
"I will convey your thoughts. Thank you for your help today." Huo Yan expressed his sincere gratitude.
"Oh, brothers, let's not talk about this. Come on, come on, let's toast to the groom. I wish you and your sister-in-law a long and happy marriage and a son soon."
Huo Yan smiled and raised his glass, drinking it all in one gulp. "Thank you for your kind words."
Xu Yao watched Huo Yan and his friends drinking happily from afar and couldn't help but admire him: "Sister, my brother-in-law is really good. He's handsome, generous, and willing to listen to you. It's really hard to find such a man."
Xu Yinyin took a sip of her wine and glanced at him sideways. "I know. That's why I married him without hesitation. By the way, I can also take this opportunity to quit my job and enjoy life wholeheartedly. I married too young, so I can't help with the company at all. Grandpa doesn't count on me anymore. But you, have you decided what to do after graduation? I'm still waiting for investment."
"I've thought about it. I want to go back to work at the company and start from the bottom. Just like you said, I can't just enjoy the benefits given by the family without knowing how to give back. Grandpa is old, and I should share the family affairs with him. Besides, there are many ways to prove yourself. As long as you work hard, you will achieve something anywhere. Sister, you can rest assured and enjoy life. I will support Fengyi and make sure you can rest assured."
Xu Yinyin praised with surprise in her eyes: "Not bad, Ah Yao has grown a lot in just a few months."
"It's all thanks to my sister's teaching. You deserve half the credit for this military medal. If I miss you, can I come and play with you more often?"
"Of course, is there any need to ask?" Xu Yinyin touched his head lovingly.
Xu Yao smiled contentedly. As long as there was melon to eat, everything would be easy.
It was soon late at night, but the guests' enthusiasm was growing. Huo Yan had long wanted to be alone with his wife, so he took Xu Yinyin away while no one was paying attention.
The two of them followed the mountain road on the island and climbed to the highest point. They sat on the ground, snuggled up to each other and quietly looked at the moonlight hanging high in the sky.
"Wife, are you tired?" Huo Yan raised his arm around her shoulders and asked softly.
"A little." Xu Yinyin leaned over and gently pinched her calf. "It's mainly because I'm not used to wearing high heels."
Huo Yan smiled and squatted down, took off her shoes, and gently massaged her feet with his big palm, extending all the way to her calves.
Xu Yinyin squinted her eyes in comfort, "Thank you, husband, mua!"
Xu Yinyin gave her a sweet kiss, and Huo Yan returned her a deep kiss, saying to her, "Just bear with it, honey. Tomorrow, after we send the guests off, we'll stay on the island for a while before going back."
"Okay." Xu Yinyin smiled brightly.
Huo Yan raised his hand and pinched her face. "My wife is so easy to take care of. She's very happy when I take her out to play and eat. It's great."
"My husband is also great, gentle and caring, and he can give massages, which is amazing."
“I’m also very good in other aspects.”
Xu Yinyin understood immediately and nodded hurriedly: "Yes, yes, yes, everything is amazing."
"Are you trying to please me?"
"No, it's really amazing."
"Well, my husband is so awesome, how am I going to reward me as a wife?"
Xu Yinyin played with his tie and asked him, "What does your husband want?"
"Should I give you my wife if I want her?"
"yes."
"Well, that's what you said."
After saying that, Huo Yan leaned close to her ear and said in an ambiguous tone: "I brought the bunny girl clothes. Let's play that tonight."
Xu Yinyin's ears turned red in an instant, and she nodded shyly, "Sure."
Huo Yan gently bit the tip of her nose, and couldn't wait to pick her up and walk down the mountain.
"What are you doing? The guests are still here."
"Just keep your voice down, baby."
“······”
The system shuddered. Damn it, I'm going to the small black room again. Damn Huo Yan, can't you just be patient? QAQ
Thank you all for your company along the way, and thank you to all the babies who left messages, supported me, and thank you so much. I bow to you and will see you in the next game if we are lucky. Kisses!
