After Xiang Qin expressed her stance, the two of them finally felt relieved.

It feels like a light boat sailing over ten thousand mountains.

That night.

Wenxi was still half asleep, and in his daze he felt like a small boat bobbing on the waves.

She groggily raised her little fist and hit him, "My mom agreed, but you can't be this presumptuous!"

He didn't speak, but instead kissed her lips passionately.

After a long while, in a moment of mental blankness, something suddenly slipped onto her slender white fingers.

Wenxi opened her hazy eyes and, in the dim light, saw a large diamond ring on the ring finger of her right hand. The diamond was very bright and dazzling.

Zhou Jingchen nestled in the crook of her neck, breathing heavily, and gently kissed her cheek: "Will you marry me?"

Who proposes at this time of year?

Wenxi wanted to beat him to death.

She didn't speak, so he put her on the hot seat again, his thin lips kissing her brow, nose, lips, and neck inch by inch, his breath alluring as he caressed every inch of her skin.

His voice was hoarse as he repeated, "Baby, marry me."

Wenxi let out a soft moan, tilting her snow-white neck back, her breathing rapid.

He took her slender white fingers into his mouth and kissed them, his soft tongue gently caressing each of her tender, white jade-like fingers.

"Will you marry me?"

"Will you be my wife?"

"Will you have my baby?"

Wenxi was truly helpless, and finally, through sobs, she said, "Okay."

She agreed.

Zhou Jingchen was overjoyed, his veins bulging as he held back his excitement.

That night, he took it many times, cruelly testing her limits time and time again.

Finally, when they were both exhausted, he lay on top of her, their fingers intertwined, and whispered a plea:

"Baby, will you love me more from now on?"

She was half asleep when she gave him a quick kiss with her rosy lips and whispered, "Okay."

-

On the morning of New Year's Eve, Zhou Jingchen's parents and sister brought many festive gifts to Jingyue Terrace.

The two families sat down together and had a lively meal.

After drinking a few glasses of wine, Lu Yuanyuan, looking guilty, apologized again to Xiang Qin and her daughter along with Lu Zhenting.

They still felt guilty about what the old lady had done before.

Xiang Qin said it's all in the past, and they shouldn't mention it again.

Fearing that she might hold a grudge, Lu Yuanyuan simply spoke frankly: "Actually, the incident of Jingchen getting lost that year was also related to his grandmother."

As soon as she finished speaking, everyone at the table looked at her.

Lu Zhenting kept his head down and didn't say anything.

"Jingchen was not even two years old that year. We had a nanny who came from the countryside. She was usually very responsible in her work. One time, something was missing from the old lady's jewelry box. She suspected that the nanny had stolen it. Without any evidence, she berated and insulted the nanny, refused to pay her wages, and kicked her out. The nanny was so angry that she secretly took Jingchen and left..."

"Luckily, the little magpie found him in the snow, otherwise, we don't know what would have become of Jingchen."

"The old lady is arrogant and domineering, and has been mean her whole life. She's become more and more stubborn as she gets older, and we're all helpless against her."

"Wenxi, don't hold a grudge against Jingchen because of this. He's suffered a lot since he came back to this family..."

After hearing this, everyone felt a pang of sadness.

Zhou Jingchen and Lu Xiaobao were also hearing about this for the first time. The two siblings looked at each other and clicked their tongues.

Wenxi felt a pang of bitterness in her heart; she hadn't expected that the old hag had caused so much trouble.

She quietly squeezed Zhou Jingchen's hand and pursed her lips, saying, "Auntie, I know, I won't blame him for this."

Sometimes fate is truly unpredictable. If it weren't for the old lady's antics, perhaps she and Zhou Jingchen would never have crossed paths in their lives.

"This is my fault." Lu Zhenting stood up and bowed to Wenxi and Xiangqin. "My father passed away early, and I feel guilty. I always doted on Grandma Jingchen, which caused a lot of indelible harm to my family."

Wenxi quickly helped him sit down, saying, "Uncle, please don't do this."

The meal lasted a long time, with everyone crying and laughing, which unconsciously brought them closer together.

After dinner, a group of people sat on the sofa, eating candy, sunflower seeds, and chatting.

Lu Yuanyuan and Lu Zhenting exchanged a glance, then Lu Yuanyuan took out a bank card and a jewelry box from her bag.

"Xiaoqin, the two children are not young anymore. We came here today to discuss their marriage with you."

"His father and I prepared 10010000 yuan in cash, which is all in this card, as a bride price."

"As for the house, we'll see what kind of place they like, and then we'll buy it."

Lu Yuanyuan and Lu Zhenting have always felt guilty about their son being abandoned by the nanny. They missed out on their son's growth and lacked companionship, and they just want to do their best to make up for it.

Lu Xiaobao chuckled, "Sister-in-law, you're one in a million!"

Wenxi stared at the card for a moment, her eyes widening. She turned to look at Zhou Jingchen. So many?

The other person smiled faintly, looking at her with a doting expression.

He doesn't need his parents to pay the bride price, but they insist on giving it to him, and he has no choice.

Lu Yuanyuan opened the jewelry box again and handed it to Wenxi. A large, teardrop-shaped yellow diamond immediately came into view, and it looked very valuable.

Lu Yuanyuan gently patted the back of her hand: "Wenxi, your aunt is an orphan and doesn't have any family heirlooms to give you. This is a South African diamond that your uncle and I picked out for you as a token of our appreciation."

Wenxi stared at the diamond for a few seconds, then subconsciously looked at Zhou Jingchen. He raised an eyebrow slightly, indicating that she should accept it.

"Thank you, Auntie," she said obediently.

"Oh, good girl." Lu Yuanyuan gently stroked her hair.

Xiang Qin, who was standing to the side, also showed a relieved smile.

The parents discussed the couple's marriage, and the elders still wanted the two to settle down as soon as possible.

Zhou Jingchen said, "Her career is just starting out, so let's get the marriage certificate first. Holding a wedding now might affect her career."

During their year traveling in Haizhou, the two sat on the stone steps facing the azure sea and chatted about their dreams.

Zhou Jingchen always remembered that she said she wanted to dance and become a dazzling superstar in the future.

He wanted to use all his resources to support his little princess step by step, so that her path would be more stable and longer.

Even though he couldn't wait to announce to the world that she belonged to him.

After discussing it, the elders thought it would be better to get the marriage certificate first, and let them handle the children's affairs later; the wedding could be held later.

Jingyue Terrace was bustling with activity that New Year's Eve.

Meanwhile, in the old mansion of Imperial Garden, the huge villa was desolate and lonely. Old Mrs. Lu sat alone at the dining table, surrounded by delicious food, but she had no taste for it.

The lamplight cast a long, aged shadow of her, her body hunched over, her face devoid of its former grace and arrogance.

The nanny left after preparing the New Year's Eve dinner.

She was all alone.
