Qin Yue guessed what he was going to do.
After calming her breathing, she picked up the adorable kitten beside her, pinched its soft pink paws, rubbed her forehead against the kitten's head, and whispered almost inaudibly, "It seems that today will have a different meaning for us."
Lu Yanci asked her to wait a moment, and Qin Yue waited in the living room for nearly twenty minutes.
Just as she was about to go to the bedroom, the man came out of the room.
Meeting her surprised gaze, a blush crept onto his ears. He awkwardly tugged at his sleeve, cleared his throat, and adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses, asking seriously, "Why are you looking at me like that?"
The person who was just wearing casual clothes has now changed into a formal suit, with a tie and her hair neatly combed. It's no wonder she couldn't help but stare.
Qin Yue tilted her head to look at him and praised, "Of course it's because you're good-looking; it makes people want to take a second look."
A smile lingered in the man's eyes.
He walked slowly to her, knelt down in front of her, his gaze fixed on her clear eyes, and sighed:
"I've fantasized more than once about what our future would be like—whether it would be a natural progression to marriage, or a proposal at the right time. But none of my fantasies included you asking me if I was willing."
I know that a proposal should be carefully planned, not something so sudden and unexpected like today.
Forgive me, at this moment I'm only thinking of comforting myself, telling myself that life is full of surprises and unexpected events, and not everything is planned, prepared, or anticipated.
The biggest surprise he had received recently was when she asked him if he was willing to get married.
As he spoke, he took out a ring box from his pocket, inside which was a diamond ring the size of a pigeon's egg.
He knelt on one knee, his Adam's apple bobbing as he solemnly spoke, each word carefully chosen:
"Knowing I shouldn't propose so hastily, I still selfishly didn't want to miss this opportunity because of your words. I want to tie our future together, to support each other and become each other's reliance. Qin Yue, will you marry me?"
Qin Yue's gaze fell on the expensive ring, and she stared at it for a few seconds.
Amid his increasingly tense expression, she remained calm and smiled, saying, "Of course, we can all have our wishes fulfilled."
Meeting his eyes, which were filled with surprise and disbelief, she reached out her hand to Lu Yanci and gave a definite answer: "I do."
A mix of emotions surged within the man, his eyes gleaming with intense light.
He swallowed hard, grasped the slender, soft fingers in front of him, took the ring from the ring box, and pushed it into her left middle finger and right hand.
The ring fit her fingers perfectly.
Qin Yue studied him for a moment, then raised an eyebrow at him slightly, her gaze full of surprise.
Lu Yanci instantly understood what she meant and did not hide anything from her: "I measured the size of your fingers while you were asleep."
She really had no idea about this.
"when?"
He paused for a moment before speaking in a deep voice: "Before the New Year."
Qin Yue rubbed her forehead.
He really thought about proposing quite early.
If she hadn't brought it up today, was he still planning to keep thinking about it without taking any action?
It doesn't matter anymore.
Now their relationship has taken another step forward.
Qin Yue grasped the man's hand in return, placed one hand on his shoulder, and lowered her head to plant a light, fleeting kiss on his lips.
"My fiancé, I look forward to working with you from now on."
...
The proposal was successful.
Naturally, people will start talking about marriage and putting the wedding on the agenda. The engagement banquet will be cancelled, but the wedding banquet must be a grand affair.
Dating is a matter between two people.
Marriage is a matter between two families.
The two went to their respective mothers to prepare for their wedding.
After hearing that his marriage proposal was successful, Lu's mother immediately told him to bring his wife home for dinner.
She hasn't had the personal experience of meeting her daughter-in-law yet, but even if she hasn't eaten pork, she's seen pigs run, right? She didn't read so many domineering CEO novels for nothing; she had already prepared her black card and the necessary bracelet.
Lu's mother didn't have the habit of wearing jade bracelets, but in order to learn from the people in books and TV dramas who removed their bracelets from their wrists as a gift for their daughter-in-law, she still carefully selected a bracelet to wear on her wrist.
This is Qin Yue's first visit to the Lu family as their prospective daughter-in-law.
Not to mention Mrs. Lu, even Grandpa Lu specially had a new outfit made. On the day Qin Yue visited, she changed into a custom-made red new Chinese-style Tang suit.
The family atmosphere in the Lu family was better than Qin Yue had imagined.
She originally thought that Lu Yanci's serious and unsmiling demeanor must be due to the many rules at home and the influence of his family atmosphere.
Mrs. Lu spoke with a hint of a smile; she was a lively and straightforward person. Grandpa Lu was a playful old man, speaking to the younger generation without any airs. When he saw Qin Yue, he showed absolutely no distance, calling her "Yue'er" and telling her about Lu Yanci.
Lu Yanci's aloofness is probably inherited from his father.
He looks somewhat like Lu's mother, but his expression is exactly like Lu's father. When the father and son are not speaking, they both have a very aloof look on their faces.
When Qin Yue arrived at the Lu family's house for dinner, Lu Yanci naturally had to visit as her prospective son-in-law.
After both sets of parents confirmed that there were no problems, they arranged to meet and set a specific wedding date.
According to their wishes, the date was set forward to late November, after his birthday.
There are still four months to prepare, which is quite a lot of time. However, once the date is set, there will be a lot of busy work on the wedding.
...
He hadn't seen Qin Yue for another week.
He heard from Fang Sheng that she had been busy with her wedding preparations recently.
She was ultimately going to marry Lu Yanci.
Qi Jingchen's marriage fell through. He learned of Jiang Qingtang's existence and that he had a son, so he broke off the engagement.
The old master of the Qi family originally intended to transfer him back to the head office, but it was precisely because of his willful actions that all the achievements he had made in the branch office over the past six months became a thing of the past.
How can someone who can't even manage their own love life manage a company?
Qin Xu sometimes thinks how wonderful it would be if Qin Yue and Lu Yanci's marriage could also encounter unexpected circumstances, and the two of them could no longer get married. He wants to think about it, but he can't help but scold himself.
They're not getting married, so what happens next?
Could I possibly hope that she would never get married?
Since she's going to marry someone, she should marry Lu Yanci. At least Lu Yanci truly loves her.
Qin Xu subtly mentioned to his mother that he wanted to go home for a few days during the period when he was not undergoing chemotherapy. His mother understood his unspoken meaning but could only pretend not to understand, saying that the hospital was more suitable for him.
If he really doesn't want to be hospitalized, then he should go back to where he used to live.
In short, it's inconvenient to go back to the Qin family.
