After rebirth, I rejected the rich yandere lady-Chapter 911 - 374: A Further Step in Our Relationship, My Fiancee._3

An Nuannuan and Yao Mingyue took out a stack of red envelopes from their pockets and distributed one to everyone present.

"Thank you all for helping my Musen, and I wish you all a Happy New Year."

An Nuannuan spoke softly to everyone. Compared to her previous naive and adorable manner, An Nuannuan now truly bore the air of a proprietress capable of holding up half the sky.

"Thank you, proprietress!"

"The proprietress is so generous. For the proprietress, we're all sticking with Musen as our boss, hahaha!"

With red envelopes in hand, the crowd immediately grinned and winked at Xu Musen.

Xu Musen watched them with a smile, feeling a sense of pride welling up in his heart.

Having a sensible wife at home sure beats wearing any Rolex or driving a Rolls-Royce Bentley when it comes to prestige.

And to have two such wonderful women, can you handle that?

Just as Xu Musen was basking in self-satisfaction, he felt someone step on his foot.

Zhu Yulan gently bit her pearly white teeth and gave him a stomp before standing up expressionless.

"If there's nothing else, I'll be going back first."

"Won't you stay and have a meal together?" Xu Musen asked.

Zhu Yulan rolled her eyes at him. If she really stayed, he would definitely start nagging again.

"I have things to do, I'll owe you one."

After Zhu Yulan finished speaking, she passed by An Nuannuan and the others with a smile, elegantly got into her Ferrari, and drifted away.

The others also left one by one, very tactfully.

Yao Mingyue also spoke up, "I'm going to go shopping with mom today and have a SPA. It's been a long time since we went out together. I'll also buy some things for Uncle Xu and Auntie Jie, so I won't bother you and Nuannuan."

Yao Mingyue's tone was nostalgic; indeed, she hadn't had the chance to go out with her mother since her leg injury.

Xu Musen looked at her, confirming she wasn't saying something against her heart, or perhaps he was just used to the jealousy.

Xu Musen smiled. "Alright."

In a while, Liu Rushuang arrived to drive Yao Mingyue away.

Xu Musen and An Nuannuan waved goodbye to them.

The bubble tea shop, which had just been bustling with noise, was now left with just the two of them.

"The New Year is coming..."

Xu Musen exhaled a breath and turned his head to look at An Nuannuan.

With no outsiders around, An Nuannuan reverted to that pure-eyed, naive and adorable appearance whenever she was by Xu Musen's side.

"Nuannuan."

"Mmm?"

"This year, will you come home with me for the New Year?"

Xu Musen clasped her delicate hand tenderly.

"Haven't we been home before?" An Nuannuan blinked her clear eyes.

"This time it's different," Xu Musen smiled and shook his head.

Before, it was more like bringing a girlfriend home for a quick visit.

But this time... it's different.

"What's different this time?"

An Nuannuan also gripped his hand and shook it.

"This time, it's an official visit. I think..."

Xu Musen paused slightly, gazing into An Nuannuan's bright eyes. His smile was warm yet firm, "I want us to take a step further."

"What does... taking a step further mean?" An Nuannuan still asked, but the speed at which she shook his hand noticeably quickened a lot.

The fluttering speed of her large eyes also seemed to get faster, as if urging him "Say it quickly, say it!"

Xu Musen smiled, turned around to face her, and slightly bent down, "I would like to invite you to go from being my girlfriend to becoming my fiancée, may I?"

His words seemed to melt away some of the chill outside.

An Nuannuan's eyes sparkled, her long, lush eyelashes trembling slightly.

Two people meeting, knowing each other, had been two years.

But for her, this moment had been waited for more than just twenty years.

From silently watching him from behind to their first "accidental" encounter.

From lifelong friends to the most desired boyfriend and girlfriend.

And now... a fiancée.

It was merely three changes in titles, yet she had waited far more than twenty years for them.

Looking at Xu Musen's tender gaze, An Nuannuan's cheeks couldn't help but flush a rosy hue.

But she still went up on her tiptoes, "I don't want to hear any more questions from you because you've always been my only choice."

She stood on her tip-toes, her clear eyes now rippling with emotion, revealing long-buried feelings; the tenderness and resolve in those eyes were unwavering, whether in past lives or the present.

Xu Musen was momentarily dazed, but finally smiled and took another breath before repeating.

"Nuannuan, I love you. This New Year, I want to formally introduce you to my parents, the girl called An Nuannuan whom I love, I want us to take our relationship further, please promise me, I want to be engaged to you!"

This time, Xu Musen's words held no hesitation or pause. This was a declaration he had rehearsed countless times in his heart.

An Nuannuan's eyes gleamed, her clear gaze shimmering with a hint of moisture. She didn't respond but raised the tips of her toes the last few millimeters and gently kissed him.

"Is that a yes?"

"Didn't I tell you to stop with the questions?"

"You didn't answer, though."

"Hmph."

An Nuannuan looked at him, eyes expectant, a little anxious, and her lips curled into a mischievous smile.

Xu Musen was, of course, a bit nervous as an engagement is a big deal; dating is between two people, but an engagement involves two families.

Dating is youthful recklessness; engagement is commitment in a relationship. freeweɓnovēl.coɱ

"Hmph, Grandma likes to eat fish, Grandpa likes to eat crab, my sister likes sweet things, and there's Dad—he likes the pork intestine noodles my mom makes..." An Nuannuan counted off on his fingers one by one.

"Nuannuan, this isn't about food, right?" Xu Musen said, amused yet exasperated.

"Dummy~"

An Nuannuan tightened her grip on his hand, the fingers she had just counted with forming into a warm fist.

An Nuannuan raised her beautiful brows and eyes, a mischievous twinkle amidst her naive and adorable expression, "Of course, I have to take you home first. This is like helping you cheat to pass the test, my fiancé."

The last three words, sweet as honey, slowly permeated Xu Musen's heart, as he gazed at the girl before him.

Truly, it was a fortune to be had in three lifetimes.
