Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The college entrance examination lasted for two days. The night of the last day, Qiao Aiyun had already prepared dinner at home and was waiting to celebrate the end of the exam. A few of Song Fengwan’s cla.s.smates had organized a gathering and invited her before the exam, but she didn’t go.
Qiao Aiyun had even specially bought her a bouquet of flowers and booked movie tickets. She had also ordered a vacation package for a hot spring resort to let Song Fengwan relax fully.
Qiao Aiyun would naturally accompany her throughout the entire time, so even though Fu Chen wanted to join, there was nothing he could do.
After the college entrance examination ended, Song Fengwan was on holiday for close to three months. Fu Chen had already planned to bring her out to play, so he wasn’t in a hurry to be with her and was fine waiting for a few days.
But plans were never able to keep up with changes.

After the exam ended, the invigilator collected all the exam papers and counted them before letting the students leave. Song Fengwan opened her thermos flask, and when warm water entered her throat, her whole body felt warm.
She had never felt so relaxed. She followed the crowd out of the school and immediately saw Qiao Aiyun waiting under a tree.
In her hands was a bouquet of lilies. “It’s finally over.”
Qiao Aiyun handed the flowers to her and took her bag from her. She had already thought it through. Regardless of what Song Fengwan’s results were, she didn’t want her to retake the examination. It was too tough.
“Thank you, Mom.” The sudden relief of stress made her entire body feel light and fluttery.
“Since the exam is over, don’t think about it anymore. Let’s go home and eat.” During this period of time, Qiao Aiyun hadn’t had a single good night’s sleep. She had been worried about Song Fengwan’s examination even during her sleep.
“Where’s Uncle Yan?” Song Fengwan was used to having the two of them picking her up together.
“He’s at home.” Qiao Aiyun helped carry Song Fengwan’s bag as they walked home together. “Wanwan, there’s something I want to tell you.”
“Mhm?”
“Your father has been sentenced, and he wants to see you. I was afraid of affecting your exam, so I never told you. If you want to go visit him, I can get someone to arrange it.”
At the moment, Song Jingren was already in prison, and visits needed to go through the procedures.
Song Fengwan bit her lip and hugged the flower bouquet in her arms tightly.
She blamed and even hated Song Jingren slightly. Thinking back on everything that had happened last year, she felt as if it was all a dream.
There were some things best not spoken in front of Yan w.a.n.gchuan, so Qiao Aiyun had deliberately come alone.
Only upon entering the community did Song Fengwan smile and say with red eyes, “Sure. I’ll go see him.”
At the bottom of her heart, Qiao Aiyun was unwilling for the two of them to meet, but Song Fengwan wasn’t young anymore, so she had to let her make the decision. “Okay, I’ll get someone to arrange it later.”
Song Fengwan nodded.
When they reached the door, Qiao Aiyun took out her key and opened the door. The moment she opened the door, she was stunned…
“Mom, why aren’t you going in?” Song Fengwan was secretly texting Fu Chen on her phone and almost b.u.mped into Qiao Aiyun’s back.
She turned her head to look into the house and was dumbfounded.
The house was full of red balloons and red roses, and even the few pots of devil’s ivy in the house had red ribbons hanging on them. The house decor looked festive, and the floor had flower petals scattered all over…
The rich fragrance of roses. .h.i.t Song Fengwan’s face, and her heart skipped a beat. This is…
“What is Yan w.a.n.gchuan doing? I asked him to tidy up the house a little. Why did he do this?!” Qiao Aiyun had been too focused on Song Fengwan these few days, so she hadn’t cleaned up the house properly.
Just a moment ago, the two of them had gone out together. She had even specially bought a few bouquets of flowers and asked Yan w.a.n.gchuan to put them in vases when he returned home.
I was only away for an hour. How did the house turn into this?
I did say I wanted the house to look more festive.
But why does it seem like we’re getting married?
Just as she entered the house, Yan w.a.n.gchuan walked out from the side with a bouquet of roses in his hands…
Song Fengwan stood at the door and hugged the lilies tightly. Oh my G.o.d…
He’s dressed like this and even decorated the entire house. Is he going to…?
Yan w.a.n.gchuan was wearing a well-tailored suit, a white s.h.i.+rt, and a dark floral tie. He looked refres.h.i.+ng, and his entire person seemed very smart and capable.
It was already evening. The dim light from the crystal chandelier in the living room shone on his expressionless face and set off his red ears.
Before Qiao Aiyun could react, a certain someone knelt in front of her with a thump, holding a black box with a large diamond ring inside.
“You…” Qiao Aiyun subconsciously looked at Song Fengwan beside her and blushed. “What are you doing?”
“Proposing.” Yan w.a.n.gchuan looked serious.
“Then…” Qiao Aiyun didn’t expect him to do this and was extremely nervous.
But after a certain someone knelt down, he remained silent and was in a daze, making her feel extremely awkward.
“I…” Yan w.a.n.gchuan had thought of many things to say to her beforehand, but when he really proposed, he couldn’t speak a single word.
“Huh?” Qiao Aiyun stared at him. I’ve never seen someone so inarticulate.
Yan w.a.n.gchuan took a deep breath…
He stuffed the flowers into Qiao Aiyun’s arms and put the diamond ring on her finger.
Song Fengwan stood at the side, dumbfounded.
You’re proposing like this?
Truly awesome.
Qiao Aiyun was dumbfounded with the ring on her finger while a certain someone stood in front of her like a block of wood, with a flushed face.
“It’s already June.”
Qiao Aiyun looked down at the diamond ring. She didn’t know what to feel.
“Wanwan’s college entrance exam is over. You can consider our matter now.”
Qiao Aiyun let out a m.u.f.fled laugh. Actually, during her hospital stay, she had already thought things through. At her age, it didn’t matter if the proposal was grand or not, and it didn’t matter if he was inarticulate or not. The most important thing was that he genuinely loved her.
Besides, while hospitalized due to her leg injury, she hadn’t been able to wash her hair for more than a week. He had already seen her ugliest look, yet he still took care of her without hesitation. What else could she say?
“Okay.” She nodded and took a step forward to hug him.
“With June as the deadline, you and I will marry.”
…
Song Fengwan didn’t expect to be greeted with a wave of public displays of affection right after her college entrance exam ended.
After dinner, the three of them went out to watch a movie. After sending Song Fengwan home, the two of them went out again.
Song Fengwan was wearing earphones and cleaning the house while complaining to Fu Chen. “… When the door opened, I was dumbfounded. There were rose petals all over the floor. I didn’t expect Uncle Yan to be this romantic at his age.
“The two of them went out again, leaving me home alone. The flower petals are all over the floor, and I can’t clean them all up.
“I wonder why they went out so late at night. From the looks of it, I don’t think they’re coming back tonight.”
While listening to Song Fengwan’s complaints, Fu Chen was reading various travel guides. “You’re not going out tonight?”
“A cla.s.smate invited me to their gathering, but I don’t really want to go.”
“You guys don’t have a teacher appreciation banquet?” In his memory, Shen Jinye’s teacher appreciation banquet was on the night the college entrance examination ended.
“I think they arranged it to be after the results are out. Some of the teachers have been transferred to the provincial capital to mark the papers, so they’re probably quite busy.” Song Fengwan lowered her head and picked up the flower petals all over the floor.
…
The two of them chatted for a while. Meanwhile, Yan w.a.n.gchuan and Qiao Aiyun were at the entrance of a certain hotel.
Ever since Qiao Aiyun injured her leg, Yan w.a.n.gchuan often accompanied her out for walks to exercise and help with her digestion. Now that they came here today, a certain someone really didn’t want to leave.
“Wanwan is still at home.” Qiao Aiyun coughed twice.
“We can go back later.” Yan w.a.n.gchuan’s gaze was burning.
Because they lived in a villa district, there were two five-star hotels nearby. Yan w.a.n.gchuan quickly called and booked a presidential suite.
In addition to rooms, the hotel also had restaurants and entertainment activities. When the two of them were waiting for the elevator, they even saw a young couple hugging and kissing near the stairs.
Tonight, all the senior high students were liberated, and many restaurants were packed. Qiao Aiyun took a look at the young couple from the corner of her eye. “They’re still kids and only look like seventeen or eighteen. Isn’t this puppy love? What if their parents see them?”
“Are you against puppy love?” Yan w.a.n.gchuan frowned deeply.
“Dating in high school affects studying. If Wanwan goes to university and meets the right person, it’s normal for her to date.” Qiao Aiyun smiled.
Yan w.a.n.gchuan took a deep breath. If she finds out that her daughter has been abducted by the Fu family brat since high school, she’ll probably…
The two of them entered the suite with their own thoughts.
As soon as the door closed, Yan w.a.n.gchuan seemed a little anxious. The last time they had done it was at the hot spring resort on Valentine’s Day. Ever since Qiao Aiyun had been injured and hospitalized, he had been trying his best to control himself. In the blink of an eye, more than three months had pa.s.sed.
He couldn’t wait any longer. His Adam’s apple moved slightly as he hugged her from behind.
He didn’t say anything, but the heat from his body made her back feel numb.
The surroundings were too quiet. His heart pounded against her back, and the strength of his fingertips made it seem as if he wanted to pull her into his body.
“Aiyun…” Because he was deliberately suppressing his voice, it was melancholic and deep, like a morning bell or an evening drum. It struck her eardrums and made her heart subconsciously palpitate faster.
“Yes?” Qiao Aiyun’s body went weak, and even her voice became weak.
“Let’s register our marriage tomorrow.”
