Ziyue sniffed and nodded.
"Save your tears. I have something else for you." Muchen kissed her.
Ziyue glared at him. How could someone be like this?!
Shouldn't he be whispering sweet nothings to her? Instead, he's ordering her to stop crying!
Muchen took a picture book out of nowhere as if by magic. He got down on one knee. "I didn't have any money left after I bought the ring. I was afraid that wouldn't be enough, so I made you this picture book. I drew our story from the moment we met. Including the ending…"
He flipped the picture book to the end. It was blank, but the title was at the top of the page, 'Wedding.'
"I would like to complete the book. Will you marry me?" Muchen smiled warmly at her.
Muchen wasn't a romantic man. He wasn't good at flattering her and didn't know how to please a woman, but he won by being persistent and hardworking.
"Yes." Ziyue nodded.
Hiding behind some flowers, Zixi quickly took photos of them with Muchen's phone and posted them on social media.
Muchen was worried that Zixi would ruin the proposal and had given him the phone to occupy himself.
While Zixi was on the phone, he received a text from Chuan. Zixi sent him a voice note, 'Dad is proposing to Mom right now!'
Chuan got excited at the news. He immediately created a group chat with all their friends and told Zixi to live stream the proposal so they could watch.
In the past, Chuan would never dare be so bold.
But anyone would change after coming back from the verge of death. Even Muchen's temper had mellowed out significantly.
Zixi didn't usually play with phones. Posting photos were simple enough…
But live streams were a toughie.
Which was why Muchen and Ziyue found him hunched over the phone talking to someone.
Zixi was pressing the microphone button on the screen to talk.
"Why did Dad have to kneel before Mom? He…"
Before he could finish his sentence, the phone had been snatched away.
He spun around to see Muchen staring at him with narrowed eyes. He didn't look particularly angry.
But Zixi trembled in fear. He stood at attention and yelled, "Daddy! You're so handsome today!"
Mom had taught him to flatter Dad when he was upset.
Zixi's voice was earnest. He had raised his voice as if to prove his sincerity. It was honestly hilarious to witness.
Ziyue barely held it together and kept herself from laughing. After all, she was the one who had taught him that trick.
Muchen turned to look at her only to be met with Ziyue blinking innocently back at him.
"It's getting late. Let's go home." Ziyue laughed.
She took Ziyue's hand.
"Come on. Let's go home."
Watching them from behind, Muchen sighed.
The two of them were really…
…
Chuan had avoided Muchen since he coaxed that photo out of Zixi.
He didn't appear until they were close to Ziyue and Muchen's wedding date.
After much deliberation, Ziyue and Muchen had finally decided on Lumiere Jade House as the wedding venue.
Ziyue was born and raised in Yunzhou City. This was also the place where they met. Zixi was still young, and all his friends were in Yunzhou City. There was no place more suitable than Lumiere Jade House.
Lumiere Jade House had stopped accepting customers one week in advance to prepare for the wedding.
The wedding planner was from an up-and-coming company in the city. They were a group of young, forward-thinking enthusiasts. Ziyue was very pleased with them.
Muchen had taken on the brunt of the wedding planning.
Ziyue would occasionally sneak a peek to see how things were going.
