Su Xianyu was savoring the cookies that Feng Lin had made with his own hands. It seemed that she had realized something and slowly listened to him sharing his innermost feelings.
"Xiaoyu, at first, I only regarded you as my younger sister. But gradually, I found that I was no longer content with just being your elder brother."
"I seem unable to be an upright person. Whenever I think about letting go and fulfilling your relationship with someone else, I can't help but have some dark thoughts in my mind."
"Please forgive my selfishness. Even if there will be dangers in the future, I don't want to let go of your hand anymore."
"Meeting you seems to be the luckiest thing that has ever happened to me in my life."
"This cookie was the first dessert you baked for me with your own hands. I made it again today. Although it can't match your cooking skills, I will continue to work hard in the future."
"I love you, Xiaoyu. Please marry..."
Just as Feng Lin was getting to the crucial part, Su Xianyu seemed to have something stuck in her throat and started to cough violently. "Cough... cough..."
"Xiaoyu!"
Feng Lin was startled and quickly got up to pat her on the back. He felt annoyed with himself.
Just as he was about to call the private doctor, Su Xianyu grabbed his wrist.
She put down her right hand that had been covering her mouth. "A Lin, I'm okay. I just choked for a moment."
"That's good. You..." Feng Lin hesitated.
"What's wrong?"
Feng Lin looked down at the cookies on the plate. After double - checking, he finally asked the question.
"Xiaoyu, didn't you feel that you ate something special just now?"
"You mean the cookies?" Su Xianyu pretended to be puzzled, hiding a smile in her eyes. "They're quite delicious."
Seeing her nonchalant expression, Feng Lin gritted his teeth and told her about his failed plan. "Let's go to the hospital. I just..."
"Is this it?"
Feng Lin looked up and saw the ring he had hidden in the cookie being held in Su Xianyu's hand.
The beautiful facets of the diamond refracted fragmented and dazzling light, creating a gentle halo around her fingertips.
Feng Lin was stunned for a moment and then raised his eyebrows. "Are you teasing me?"
Looking into his familiar eyes at night, in case she would be "punished" that night, Su Xianyu quickly explained, "I really almost got choked, but luckily I bit into it."
"I'm sorry. It's my fault that I didn't think it through."
It was really hard for this straight - laced man to come up with such a "romantic" way of proposing. "It's okay. It feels quite innovative."
"Then." Feng Lin knelt down on one knee again. "Xiaoyu, will you marry me?"
"I will!"
Su Xianyu watched as the ring was slowly slipped onto the ring finger of her left hand. A happy smile appeared on her lips.
Thinking of what Ruan Sisi had "cursed" before, Feng Lin still felt a faint uneasiness in his heart.
"Xiaoyu, your body is not convenient now. I'm really worried that something might go wrong during the wedding."
"How about we get the marriage certificate first and hold a simple ceremony at the Feng Mansion. We can hold a formal wedding after the baby is born. What do you think?"
"Of course it's okay." Su Xianyu's eyes were full of trust. "You won't harm me. I'll listen to you, A Lin."
"Xiaoyu, I'm sorry to have wronged you." Hearing her reasonable words, Feng Lin felt even more guilty. He planned to design a grand wedding himself to make it up to her after she gave birth.
"How could I feel wronged with A Lin by my side?" Su Xianyu said with a smile. "The most important thing about a wedding is the sincerity and the right person, not the external form."
Feng Lin nodded, turned around and took out a black card from the study, then handed it to her.
"This card has no limit. Please accept it this time, Xiaoyu." Feng Lin's eyes were sincere. "It's sudden, and I'm sorry that I can't give you a grand wedding immediately."
"But I hope you can feel secure. Money is the only thing I can think of that you can hold firmly in your hand."
"As for other assets, I will transfer them to you after I sort them out."
Su Xianyu was a little surprised. "A Lin, this is too much. I can't accept it."
Seeing her reluctant expression, Feng Lin drooped the corners of his eyes. "After we get married, this will be our common property. Does Xiaoyu still not regard me as a family member?"
"Well... okay." Seeing his firm attitude, Su Xianyu had no choice but to put the black card into the drawer.
Finally, she could accept it rightfully. Having money in her own hands made her feel more at ease even when sleeping.
After the successful proposal, Feng Lin immediately spread the good news in the Feng Mansion. Aunt Liu and the others were even happier for their young master.
They decorated the villa according to Su Xianyu and Feng Lin's preferences.
Since Feng Lin used his "money power", even though the servants in the villa were working overnight, they were still in high spirits.
When Su Xianyu woke up the next day, she saw the brand - new Feng Mansion.
She stood on the stairs and found that red wedding characters had been pasted on the white walls of the villa at some point.
Some were exquisitely cut magpies on the branches, and some were square and gilded characters. Even the balcony railing on the second floor was tied with red silk ribbons.
When the wind blew, the red silk and the wedding characters swayed gently together, like countless pairs of eyes smiling at her.
She walked onto the balcony and saw that the roses in the yard were stretching their petals. Pink, red, and champagne - colored roses were lined up along the stone path all the way to the villa's entrance.
Su Xianyu was surrounded and changed into a red wedding dress. At the bottom of the stairs, Feng Lin, who was usually cold, was also wearing a red wedding suit at this moment, looking vivid and happy.
He walked up step by step to pick up his bride and go downstairs.
"Xiaoyu, I love you."
Looking at the sincerity in his eyes, Su Xianyu finally replaced her liking with love in her heart. The words of response blurted out. "A Lin, I love you too."
Although true feelings can change in an instant, at this moment, she chose to believe.
To ensure safety, they held a simple ceremony with the witnesses of everyone in the Feng Mansion.
Then they drove to the Civil Affairs Bureau. Holding the two red marriage certificates in their hands, they finally felt the reality of being married.
[It's really progressing at a breakneck speed! They've already got the marriage certificate! Feng Lin has so much property. Doesn't he need to get a notarization in advance?]
[Didn't you hear him say during the proposal that he wants to give all his property to Sister Xiaoyu? It's so sweet～Let's give a little gift! Reward x50]
[Where's the one who said he was an illegitimate child before? You've been slapped in the face! Now they're a legal couple. Reward x20]
[What on earth is going on? The strategy progress shows that Sisi is the female lead. But they're already married. What should we do now?]
[We can't understand the judgment of this small world. Maybe Ruan Sisi still has some big moves...]
However, the life of the two after getting the marriage certificate was not as sweet and happy as they had imagined.
Feng Lin's mood became increasingly tense every day.
At first, Su Xianyu just thought that there was something wrong with his expression recently and assumed that he hadn't had a good rest.
It wasn't until she accidentally saw him in the study with a knife in his hand and his left arm bleeding profusely.
"A Lin, what are you doing!"
