Chapter 290 Engagement!
An hour later, it was time for another "life reflection." Zhou Xiaobai nestled against the man's chest, her delicate face still flushed. Neither of them spoke, enjoying the tranquility for about ten minutes.
Zhou Xiaobai spoke, "Yuemin!"
"Well, what?"
When are we getting married?
Zhong Yuemin looked down at the woman in his arms and joked:
"What, are you in such a hurry to become a bride and marry me?"
Zhou Xiaobai raised her head, half-sat up, pouted her red lips, and hummed:
"So what if I want to? All you do is bully me all day. After you've worn me out, who else can I marry besides you? You can't just abandon me."
Zhong Yuemin gently stroked the girl's pert nose.
"Responsibility? Such a delicate beauty, I'm too busy cherishing her, how could I not be responsible? We can get married anytime, I have no problem with that, but..."
"But what?"
"Even if we get married, we'll still live apart. Although we haven't registered our marriage yet, we're practically husband and wife. We've done everything we're supposed to do, and everything we're not supposed to do, and quite a lot of things too." He whispered in his wife's ear.
Zhou Xiaobai felt a ticklish sensation and lightly punched the person's chest.
"Seriously, having a certificate and not having a certificate, how can they be the same? Anyway, I don't feel safe. You're so amazing and capable."
"What's so great about me, your man? Tell me!" His eyes were sly.
"I'm not talking to you, you're never serious," Zhou Xiaobai said.
"Yuemin, do you know, when you were buried under the rubble, I felt like the sky had collapsed, everything was bleak. If anything happened to you, I wouldn't want to live either. You are my everything now, understand?"
"I understand!"
He kissed his wife's fair forehead.
"How about this? When we come back from visiting relatives this Spring Festival, we'll hold an engagement banquet first, invite all the relatives from both families, set a date, and then get the marriage certificate. What do you think?"
"Really?" Zhou Xiaobai's eyes gleamed with excitement.
"No taking it back!"
"I'm afraid you'll go back on your word and get snatched away by some high-ranking official's son."
Zhong Yuemin said:
"When I was in the army, I didn't see many women all year round. After a while, even the sows raised by the logistics department would look pretty, like a bride."
"You're the one who's like a sow!"
"I wasn't talking about you, I was just using an analogy!"
Zhong Yuemin smiled,
“You’re different. You’re in the hospital every day. You didn’t tell me before that all your suitors were lined up from the hospital gate all the way to your department office. Who knows, one day you might not be able to stand the loneliness and settle down with some male doctor. That would be terrible for me…”
"Ouch, ouch, don't pinch me, don't pinch me, it hurts!"
Before he could finish speaking, the girl attacked him again, saying, "I'm injured! Show me some respect!"
"Who told you to talk nonsense? I was in the hospital, and to avoid those people harassing me, I already announced to everyone that I was engaged, you know? Besides, who's lonely?"
"What do you mean, 'no'? You were just being so aggressive towards me, you almost made me scald."
"you……"
Zhou Xiaobai immediately blushed and hit him again, yelling, "Are you trying to die?"
How could someone say such a thing? Their own hands are calloused from all the work, yet they turn around and blame others.
“Then it’s settled. I’ll tell my parents, my older brother, my second older brother, and Uncle Zhong when I get back.”
"it is good!"
Zhong Yuemin said:
"Later, I'll have Liu Jing find a suitable courtyard house for us to use as our wedding home. You can also give me your suggestions and choose the one you like."
