Due to Ning Zongze's overwhelming excitent, after all, Ning Wanxi is already 26 years old, hasn't even had a boyfriend, and keeps all n at a distance. It's natural for any parent to be quite anxious.
Although Ning Wanxi has only let her guard down with Luo Chao, that's enough. They originally had a childhood betrothal, and now it's co to fruition, which is indeed a delight.
Ning Zongze continued, "Your dad called to tell about this happy event, and I was beside myself with joy. Your dad wasn't fooling , was he?"
Luo Chao initially thought Ning Wanxi had ntioned it, but surprisingly, it was his own father who leaked the news. Since when did his old man beco so proactive?
But that's understandable. Lu Feng vanished without a word back then, leaving the Ning family's daughter in a predicant, causing Ning Wanxi and Luo Chao to not see each other for over twenty years. Yet she rembered she had a fiancé, and under her father's guidance, kept away from other n, leading to emotional shortcomings.
Hence, Lu Feng felt deeply guilty, and upon knowing that Ning Wanxi could interact with Luo Chao, he eagerly shared the joyous news with Ning Zongze.
"My dad didn't lie to you, it's true, but we've only held hands," Luo Chao said with a smile.
At that mont, hearing Luo Chao's words, Ning Zongze's voice choked up, "That's great, truly great. My daughter can finally be wed."
Luo Chao paused for a mont and teased, "Uncle Ning, is Wanxi such a nuisance at ho that you're so eager to marry her off? I wonder what Wanxi would think if she knew."
"Cough, cough—" Ning Zongze coughed twice, slightly annoyed, "You little rascal, you clearly know that's not what I ant, yet deliberately mock . Don't tell Wanxi what I just said."
Luo Chao laughed, "Uncle Ning, just kidding. I won't say anything."
Ning Zongze nodded, "Holding hands already shows significant progress. Things will keep improving. I knew it; Wanxi hugged you when she was little, so she must feel sothing for you!"
At the mont, Ning Zongze was still thrilled, and upon confirming that Luo Chao and Ning Wanxi could really be together, he was ecstatic and exhilarated.
"When will you and Wanxi be back?" Ning Zongze asked again.
Luo Chao smacked his lips, "Should be soon!"
"Yes, your dad said that once you're back, you'll co to our house to propose. I'm impatient; hurry up and co back early," Ning Zongze said, rubbing his palms excitedly.
Thinking of the proposal, Luo Chao's lips twitched slightly. Is the pace with the beautiful CEO too fast, considering they've only held hands?
"Alright, we'll take care of company matters and co back soon," Luo Chao replied.
Ning Zongze laughed, "Well, once you return, there'll be plenty to do: wedding photos, visiting relatives, picking invitations and wedding candies—"
Luo Chao listened, feeling overwheld. As soone who has never married, he realized there were so many tasks involved. Clearly, marriage isn't easy!
"I understand, Uncle Ning. It's late; goodnight," Luo Chao said, suddenly envisioning Ning Wanxi's captivating figure in a beautiful white wedding gown—a truly enchanting mont.
Luo Chao found himself yearning, his heart trembled before quickly pulling himself back, thinking to himself, what's happening to ? Have I already fallen for this gorgeous ice queen?
You have to know, Luo Chao suffers from gamophobia. For him to dream of marriage is utterly unbelievable.
The countless deaths on the battlefield, with Luo Chao witnessing many comrades dying heroically, leaving behind grieving families, led to his fear.
Luo Chao abruptly hung up the phone, fearing to think further, and looked over at Ning Wanxi, who was cutting vegetables at the stove. Her focused gaze, with a pretty face akin to a painting, radiated dostic bliss, standing straight with a graceful curve, her plump hips leaning back, her small hands continuously chopping potatoes on the board.
This scene stirred Luo Chao's heart. He suddenly stood up and slowly walked towards the kitchen, his steps light, so Ning Wanxi didn't notice.
Luo Chao reached behind her and gently embraced her willow-like waist. Ning Wanxi shivered slightly at the sudden hug but recognized the familiar tobacco scent and cald, though her heart still raced wildly as if a deer was prancing. Her face blushed deeply, resembling rouge.
Such intimate gestures, amorous poses, made everything feel romantic and tender. Ning Wanxi didn't resist but accepted his warm embrace, seemingly having truly lost immunity to him.
Luo Chao buried his face in her hair, inhaling her subtle fragrance, feeling unprecedented comfort. This is what having a wife feels like!
Once, Luo Chao couldn't even touch her, and now he could gently hug her from behind, offering a thrilling contrast.
"What are you doing? Can't you see I'm cutting vegetables?" Ning Wanxi's face was flushed, she pouted.
Luo Chao chuckled, "Cut them later. I just want to hold you."
"Hmm!" Like a shy girl in love, Ning Wanxi cutely nodded, allowing him to hold her.
Luo Chao's parents and Ning Wanxi's parents were aware they could be physically affectionate, ensuring Luo Chao and Ning Wanxi couldn't escape their arranged fate, eventually ending up together.
Their parents had already planned the proposal, set the wedding date, and arranged various tasks: taking wedding photos, visiting relatives, announcing the good news, preparing wedding candies, invitations—all lined up.
Thus, the first thing Luo Chao and Ning Wanxi would do upon returning to Jiangning City was for his dad to propose to the Ning Family.
"Wanxi, thank you for giving this warm feeling. The sense of ho here is wonderful," Luo Chao couldn't help but say.
Ning Wanxi nodded, "I'm glad you like it here, but we won't be staying long."
Over the past six months, Ning Wanxi had co to understand him—appearing carefree, yet deeply lonely and lancholic inside. The trauma of war often troubled him. Such a Luo Chao needed a small ho to warm his heart and provide a sense of completeness and peace.
Otherwise, why would Ning Wanxi, so wealthy, buy a small house like this?
