At the most romantic moment, two very practical questions were raised by Jiang Cheng, bringing Shen Que’s mind back to reality.
He held Jiang Cheng’s hands, rough and steady.
Shen Que’s eyes were filled with seriousness.
"Jiang Cheng, before meeting you, I didn’t understand why a man and a woman had to be together."
"After meeting you, I understood the significance of longing and concern."
"Whether before or after marriage, the person I fell in love with is the independent, confident, and gracious Jiang Cheng, and that will never change."
"I won’t use marriage to bind you; you just need to do what you want to do, and I’ll be your most steadfast support."
After a slight pause, Shen Que continued: "As for children... honestly, I have no idea how to be a father, I’m probably even more afraid of becoming a parent than you are."
"But no matter what, I will love you first, then it’s possible for children. If we have them, we will love them together; if not, we will love each other more."
Jiang Cheng listened with a blank expression.
After speaking, Shen Que blinked, wondering if he answered wrongly?
But these were his true feelings; he didn’t want to deceive Jiang Cheng.
"I like your answer!"
Suddenly Jiang Cheng smiled, affirming him by hugging Shen Que’s head and planting a strong kiss on his forehead.
After the kiss, Jiang Cheng leaned back.
"If I want to marry you, it’s because I really want to marry you."
Jiang Cheng pointed a finger at Shen Que’s heart: "A lifetime... some things need to be clearly stated."
Shen Que grasped Jiang Cheng’s fingertip: She mentioned a lifetime.
"I like to communicate and solve problems, rather than hiding them in my heart, so whatever it is, we should talk about it."
"Regarding my career, I certainly won’t give it up, but I will strive to balance career and family, and not neglect you."
"Regarding children, I’m not opposed; it’s just a matter of timing."
"A good relationship and marriage require two people to work hard together, I won’t always let you compromise."
Shen Que knew Jiang Cheng said a lot, but in his mind, everything condensed into one sentence: She is really thinking about marrying me after all!!
She really wants to marry me!
Jiang Cheng is really going to marry me!
After Jiang Cheng finished speaking, seeing Shen Que’s expression, she knew that his romantic mind was acting up again.
It must be said, the best dowry a man can have is a romantic mind.
She likes it!
The two sweetly talked a lot in the room, advancing their relationship significantly.
But they couldn’t stay too long, so Shen Que called Shen Xing and Shen Yue over.
The two helpers were doing homework to the side while Shen Que and Jiang Cheng packed their luggage on the other side.
Around five in the afternoon, Grandma Shen called everyone over to eat.
Shen Xing looked at the pages filled with Chinese characters and Shen Yue’s pencil-blackened face, speechless, casting a glance at their silly, happy big brother.
Oh!
His sister and brother could only sacrifice him and Yue Yue.
The four walked back through the newly opened back door to have dinner with Grandma Shen.
That evening, the family played poker in the room for a happy hour.
After more than an hour of poker, Jiang Cheng went back to the new house to sleep.
Early the next morning, after eating, Shen Que left first.
Shortly after he left, Li Chunxiang came over.
She came to find Jiang Cheng.
The two discussed the departure time for tomorrow and what to bring since they would be on the train for nearly five days.
After discussing thoroughly, Li Chunxiang went back to prepare.
Jiang Cheng simply took the opportunity to visit Teacher Lü before leaving.
Teacher Lü’s home.
When Teacher Lü saw Jiang Cheng, she chuckled and said, "Perfect timing, if you hadn’t come I would have gone looking for you."
"Is something happening?"
Jiang Cheng sat beside Teacher Lü, waiting for her to speak.
"Yes, I’m leaving."
Jiang Cheng was genuinely surprised.
