Accusations of not wanting to marry: The prosecutor pressed him relentlessly.

Mu Wangbei tried to stand up again, but Fang Youxi pressed him down once more.

Chen Lai took a blue velvet box out of her pocket and handed it to Fang Youxi: "Grandpa prepared this; I hope you like it."

"Thank you, Auntie." Fang Youxi accepted it with a smile.

Then open it in front of the whole family.

Mu Wangbei stared at the rings in disbelief, then at the old man, and finally couldn't hold back any longer: "Grandpa, what's wrong with you...?"

Before he could finish speaking, Fang Youxi covered his mouth with her hand.

Mu Huai: ...

Chen Lai: ...

"Thank you, Grandpa. Are these your and Grandma's wedding rings?"

"Well, the style might be a bit old-fashioned. This should be considered an antique now. Giving it to you is a way of passing it down and keeping it as a memento."

Fang Youxi removed her hand from the person's lips, then wiped it on his body with disgust, handed the ring to him, and looked at him.

Mu Wangbei was momentarily stunned.

Tangtang doesn't seem angry.

What does giving him the ring mean?

Should we make him return it to his grandfather?

Mu Huai couldn't stand it anymore: "Are you out of your mind? Why don't you put it on Tangtang?"

Chen Lai also complained to her son, "What are you staring at, son?"

Mu Wangbei: "What do you mean?"

The whole family was speechless.

Mu Sheng picked up his chopsticks and smacked his grandson on the head: "You're hopeless! You want to propose with popping candy?"

The knock made Mu Wangbei cry out, "Ouch!"

Fang Youxi got up, stood on tiptoe, and rubbed his head a couple of times, saying with concern, "Grandpa, be gentle, or I'll return you if you knock your brain out."

Mu Wangbei pulled Fang Youxi's hand down, looked at the rings again, and felt a surge of emotions mixed with a touch of bitterness: "Did they force you?"

This guy always messes things up at crucial moments.

Fang Youxi was completely defeated by him. She pried open Mu Wangbei's palm, put the men's ring on his ring finger, and said through gritted teeth, "If I could only choose once, I would choose you as my lover, Mu Wangbei. If you make me lose this bet, you're dead, I'm telling you."

Mu Wangbei looked at the ring on his ring finger, his eyes instantly reddening: "Just wearing a ring? This has no legal effect."

Well, even at such an exciting moment, his focus is still on seeking legal protection.

With impeccable political credentials, Prosecutor Mu is a chosen legal professional.

"How about we get our marriage certificate on your thirtieth birthday? Consider it a birthday present for you."

Mu Wangbei placed the women's ring on Fang Youxi's ring finger, and their fingers intertwined.

He thought for a moment, then turned to Chen Lai and said, "Mom, did you remember my birth date wrong? I remember I should be turning thirty this month."

Chen Lai chuckled.

Following up on her son's question, she asked, "When do you want to be born? How about tomorrow?"

The whole family laughed.

Mu Wangbei finally realized that Fang Youxi must have told his grandfather, and the whole family knew, but they kept it from him.

At this time, the opportunity is rare. With the whole family present, put some pressure on them and make a final decision to avoid any regrets from others.

He looked down at Fang Youxi and asked, "My mom also said it's my birthday tomorrow, can we get our marriage certificate tomorrow?"

Fang Youxi: ...

Speechless. How can someone be so shameless?

Mu Sheng smiled and nodded: "I also remember that Wang Bei's birthday is tomorrow. It's not easy for him to turn thirty, and it's rare for him to make a request. Just grant his wish this time."

Fang Youxi had just nodded when Mu Huai spoke up. He really didn't want to dampen the mood at this moment, but the whole family seemed to have overlooked one issue.

The Civil Affairs Bureau is closed on the second day of the Lunar New Year.

Disappointment was clearly written all over Mu Wangbei's face.

Fang Youxi smiled and comforted him, "Can we go on the eighth day when the market opens? It's hard on my prosecutor Mu, having to stay in Auntie's belly for six more days."

Mu Wangbei: ...

The whole family burst into laughter.

Even the butler standing to the side couldn't stop smiling.

This year's Spring Festival was really lively!

That evening, the old man and Mu Huai and his wife both wanted Fang Youxi to stay overnight, while Mu Wangbei wanted to go back to their own home.

He had many questions to ask Fang Youxi, but it wasn't convenient to ask them at the Xishan Villa.

Since the person had been drinking and couldn't drive, the housekeeper called a driver to take them home.

Around 9 p.m., the driver took the two of them home in a Maybach.

As soon as they got in the car, Mu Wangbei raised the partition in the middle, cupped Fang Youxi's face, and kissed her.

Thirty years of Moutai is intoxicating; the joy in his heart and the tenderness in his eyes seem inadequate to be expressed in words.

Mu Wangbei never expected that Fang Youxi would change her original intention for him and be willing to take another step forward.

He had tried to pressure and beg before, but Fang Youxi left without looking back.

She has always been carefree and independent.

He had hinted at it several times afterward, but Fang Youxi always deflected his advances without making a sound.

He knew she still refused.

I can't pressure her anymore, or perhaps I've finally come to my senses.

What difference does it make whether or not you have that certificate?

They won't be separated again anyway.

It's fine to live like this.

He didn't expect that Fang Youxi would remember every word he had said. She said: "If I could only choose once, I would choose you as my lover."

The word "lover" has a double meaning. By then, they will not only be lovers, but also family, a family with inseparable interests under the law, and each other's first-in-line heirs.

Regardless of how others view that piece of paper, marriage has always been sacred to him.

Mu Wangbei held her lips, kissing them repeatedly. "My goodness, how did you suddenly come to your senses?"

Fang Youxi hummed, the light and dense kisses making her a little dazed.

Mu Wangbei kissed her again: "Tangtang~"

Fang Youxi, under the influence of alcohol and male allure, replied with the last vestige of her sobriety, "I asked you about it when I came back from Melbourne."

"What did you ask me?"

Fang Youxi was dizzy from his kisses, her eyes wet as she looked at Mu Wangbei: "I asked if we would always be together? I figured it out that day."

"When?" Mu Wangbei pulled the person away in disbelief. "Why didn't you say so sooner?"

"These things are better left unsaid. I've hinted so clearly, and you're saying you're satisfied with the status quo and don't want to change anything?"

Fang Youxi leaned in and kissed him again.

Mu Wangbei's heart was shattered into pieces. It had been three or four months, and only now was he realizing what was happening.

She bit Fang Youxi's lip in anger. If she had said so earlier, they would have had their marriage certificate by now, and the wedding might have already been held.

Who knows, even "Little Candy" might be coming.

……

Seriously, I'm about to die from picking at myself.
