Chapter 704: Twenty-six-year-old Pingping (Part 4)

"Commander, you will have a daughter-in-law soon."

"What's the meaning?"

"Just now, Yan Tuan gave a small bouquet of wild flowers to a female doctor at the physical examination office, and asked the doctor on the spot if she was willing to date him, and the female doctor nodded in agreement."

"Everyone says that if the Yan Group doesn't make a name for itself, it will make a big splash. Now the whole military region is talking about their story."

Yan Ziyuan's guard happily told him the news he heard.

Yan Ziyuan just smiled and said nothing.

That brat has none of the demeanor he had in his past.

Back then, he successfully won over Xiao Yu within a year of knowing her. Now he and Xixi have known each other for 26 years, but they have only just started dating.

"Let's go home."

He had to go back quickly and tell his wife the good news in person. He had finally sold the boss.

..........

In the evening, both the Jin and Yan families knew that Pingping and Xixi had officially started dating.

Different from Yan Ziyuan's calmness and composure, Jin Kai was almost going crazy with joy.

Although he was reluctant to let his daughter get married, it was another matter if the other party was ordinary.

Pingping was the son-in-law candidate he had chosen more than 20 years ago. He was impeccable in every aspect. The most important point was that the Yan family and their family had always lived next door to each other. If Xixi married into the Yan family, it would be the same as if she had not left home.

He missed his daughter, so he strode directly into the gate of the Yan family next door so that he could see her at any time.

"Fourth brother, sister-in-law, how about letting me, your father-in-law, personally take care of the wedding?"

"Why are you in such a hurry? It's not your wedding."

"You have to ask Pingping and Xixi's opinions first. They may have their own ideas."

"What's the point of them having ideas? They just don't have time."

One is the regiment commander and the other is a military doctor. Both of them are extremely busy every day. By the time they come to make arrangements, it will be unknown when his grandson or granddaughter will be born.

The next day, Jin Kai drove to the army to find Ping Ping early in the morning.

"Uncle Kai, why are you here?"

"Still calling me Uncle Kai?"

“Ahem~”

"Father-in-law, why are you here?"

Hearing the satisfying address, Jin Kai smiled widely.

"Since you are already dating Xixi, do you have any thoughts about getting married?"

"I'm warning you, don't think that just because I'm your uncle with a different surname and no blood relationship, you can do whatever you want to Xixi. If you dare to act like a hooligan and refuse to get married, I will chop you up regardless of your parents' objections."

"How dare I? If I dare to let Xixi down, my mother will definitely be the first one who won't let me go."

"Just so you know."

"If you are busy, I can take time to arrange the wedding for you. You don't have to worry about anything. You can continue to take care of the army's affairs. I..."

"Father-in-law, this is my wedding with Xixi after all. I want to take care of it myself, so you don't need to worry about it."

Jin Kai knew that Pingping was just like his parents, with a very determined personality.

He refused outright, which meant he didn't want anyone else to interfere.

"Don't delay it for me for another ten or eight years!"

"I know. Don't worry."

For a period of time afterwards, Pingping did not go on any missions.

Apart from training during the day, almost all the other time is spent with Xixi.

"Doctor Jin, your boyfriend is here to pick you up again with flowers in his arms."

"Hey, why can't we meet such a good man? He either sends you flowers or gifts every day, and arranges all your meals, snacks, and suppers perfectly. It's really enviable."

"By the way, are there any unmarried, high-quality men in your boyfriend group?"

"We don't ask to be as good as him, but half as good as him is fine."

"I'll ask for you later. I'm leaving now."

When Jin Xi heard Pingping coming, he obviously quickened the pace of packing up his things. Finally, he just swept all the miscellaneous things on the table into his bag and quickly left the office.

Hearing the footsteps, Pingping, who was standing in the corridor holding a bouquet of champagne roses, walked towards her.

"What's the story behind this bouquet of flowers today?"

Xixi happily took the flowers and handed the handbag to him.

During this period, Pingping gave her a bouquet of flowers almost every day, and without exception, he always added some cheesy love words to the flowers.

He might have really signed up for a love training class as Aunt Song said.

"I don't have anything to say today. I just want to borrow the language of champagne roses to tell you that I, Yan Chengyao, only love you, Jin Xi, in this life."

After they started dating, Jin Xi could hear all kinds of sweet words from him every day, but she would still blush uncontrollably every time she heard them.

"I'll take you to a place today."

"Where?"

"Just follow me and you'll find out."

Pingping was driving and Xixi was sitting in the passenger seat, looking at the road that was becoming more and more familiar, feeling a little confused.

"Why did you bring me back to the compound?"

Since the great-grandfathers of both families passed away one after another, they came to the compound less and less often.

"I haven't been back for a long time, and I suddenly want to come back and take a look."

"There's no need to choose this time. I'm already a little hungry."

"There are snacks in the car, you can eat them first."

Xixi ate a small piece of bread and walked into the courtyard hand in hand with Heping.

"Wow, the peonies here are blooming."

Xixi looked at the flowers beside the path and stopped happily.

"I remember when you were little, you insisted on pulling up these flowers and planting them in your own yard. At night, when no one was paying attention, I actually pulled out a small patch of your flowers. In the end, Uncle Kai had to replant some of them."

"No way, you are talking nonsense again."

Even if it was true, she would not admit it.

The two walked inside. The courtyard still looked the same as when they were children, without much change, except that the people living inside were constantly changing from old to new.

As they walked, Pingping suddenly covered Xixi's eyes with one hand.

"Ah, Yan Pingping, what are you doing?"

"Let me show you something."

"You're not trying to scare me."

Pingping just smiled and didn't reply.

Pingping walked with her for two or three minutes, and finally stopped at a place, and slowly took his hand away from her eyes.

Xixi looked at the scene in front of her and covered her mouth in surprise.

"This...is what you prepared?"

"Go check it out."

The place Pingping brought her to was the open space where they used to play house when they were children.

The only difference from when I was a child was that the open space was now filled with candles, flowers and balloons, with many photos hanging on both sides.

Jin Xi walked closer and saw that the photos were various photos of the two of them from childhood to adulthood.

There are countless photos of me from the age of one to twenty.

"What is this? Why are there paintings?"

"This is the five years you've been abroad. This is what I imagined might happen during our five years together."

After looking at the photos, Pingping took her hand and walked to the center of a heart covered with flowers. Then he took out a small box from his pocket and knelt on one knee in front of Jinxi.

"Xixi, we have known each other for twenty-six years without realizing it."

"I still remember clearly that when I was five years old, I was in this place, competing with Brother Tiaotiao for the chance to be your bridegroom, and I won."

"Since the first time we played house, I have never given up my seat beside you to anyone else. From now on, I still want to continue to occupy this position, to be your groom, and to be your eternal lover."

"I don't know how many twenty-six years we have in the future, but I know that no matter how many days there are in the future, I hope to spend them with you, Jin Xi. I want to be the one who grows old with you."

"Xixi, are you willing?"

Jin Xi looked at the man in front of her, holding a ring and kneeling on one knee, her eyes were already blurred with tears.

In fact, she had forgotten when she fell in love with him. She only knew that they grew up together since childhood. Almost everyone in the compound said that she, Jin Xi, would definitely be Yan Chengyao's wife in the future, and later she thought so too.

She felt like she had been waiting for this day for a very long time.

Finally I waited for his proposal.

"Xixi, will you marry me?"

Seeing that she didn't respond, Pingping asked again nervously.

"I do."

"I am willing to marry you, I am willing to be your wife, and I am willing to grow old with you."

"Bang~"

Several hand-held fireworks then burst out from all around.

People from the Jin and Yan families all showed up at the proposal scene that Pingping had carefully arranged.

"Dad, Mom, why are you all here?"

"You called me here?"

"Well, I want everyone in my family to witness this moment. You are finally going to be my wife!"

"Brother Pingping, you finally married my sister, the eldest daughter, home! Thank you!"

Jinlang will finally no longer be bullied by his sister at home!

"Brother, Xixi, I wish you happiness."

"Thank you, An'an."

"Sister Xixi, you took over my eldest brother, so you can't return the goods! Our Yan family won't accept them!"

Pingping smiled at his younger brother and showed his fist.

Jin Kai, who was not far from the children, stood on tiptoe and put his hands on the shoulders of Yan Ziyuan and Song Fuyu, smiling particularly arrogantly.

"Fourth brother, sister-in-law, congratulations on becoming real in-laws!"

"You will never be able to get rid of me in your life~"
