Qin Ke just stared at her tenderly.

The answer is self-evident.

"Qingqing, come here!" Qin Ke stretched out his hand towards her.

Lu Youqing curled up the fingers hanging on both sides. Somehow, she felt that her heartbeat was a little disordered.

After a moment of silence, she slowly reached out her hand and placed it in his broad, strong palm. Her fingers were slender and long, and the two hands were gently clasped.

Holding her hand, I walked along the gravel path illuminated by red paper lanterns. The lights shone through the vermilion paper, casting a warm light, giving people a sense of comfort in the plain and cold snow scene.

The snow on the roof was blown by the night wind, scattering in the air, falling on the pavilion, falling in her hair, and falling on his shoulders...

If we were allowed to grow old together in this world, this feeling and this scene would be the most memorable.

Qin Ke held her hand and walked into the room. The room was warm. They came back from the wind and snow outside. As soon as they entered, the lingering chill on their bodies melted away with the temperature.

He reached out and lifted the hair by Lu Youqing's ear, then gently took off her milky white cloak and put it aside. She had just squatted in the snow and rolled snowballs with Qin Ke, and there were many snow stains on the hem of her clothes, which now turned into a wet ball in the warm air.

Lu Youqing stood quietly there, his eyes fixed on the bright lights in the house.

It turns out that this is not only the case in the yard, but also in the house.

When she turned around, Qin Ke had already hung both cloaks on the clothes rack to dry.

"What are you doing?" Lu Youqing asked softly.

Qin Ke was standing in front of her, pursing his lips, looking a little nervous and a little shy, but there was an unspeakable surging light in his raised eyes.

Shy? Lu Youqing originally thought she had seen it wrong, but after looking carefully, the expression on his face was indeed shy.

She had seen this expression on unmarried girls before.

"Close your eyes first, I have a gift for you."

Lu Youqing looked at him quietly for a while, then slowly closed her eyes.

Without her vision, her hearing became much more sensitive. She heard the sound of porcelain cups clinking and the footsteps getting closer and closer to her.

And... the sound of swallowing due to nervousness.

Her hands on her knees clutched her clothes tightly.

"Qingqing..."

As Qin Ke called softly, Lu Youqing's eyelashes trembled, and she slowly opened her eyes. The light shone in her light amber eyes.

"How could you do this? Get up!"

In front of her, Qin Ke was kneeling on one knee, holding a small and exquisite jewelry box in his hand. Inside was a unique ring inlaid with gold wire and inlaid with red and blue gems.

But Lu Youqing was a little anxious and stood up to pull him up. There was no reason in the world for a man to kneel in front of his wife.

But compared with Qin Ke's, her strength was so small that she couldn't pull him.

"Qingqing, listen to me." Qin Ke put one hand on the hand that was tightly holding his arm, signaling her to relax.

Lu Youqing had no choice but to sit back in her chair and look at him quietly.

Qin Ke swallowed nervously. Perhaps Lu Youqing didn't quite understand the importance of this ceremony, but he still couldn't help being nervous. After all, this was the first time in his two lifetimes that he proposed to someone.

Yes, it was a proposal, even though they were already registered as husband and wife.

But for Qin Ke, they should be following the script of marriage first and love later. Since it is marriage first and love later, they are still lacking a ceremony.

"Qingqing, will you be my wife?"

"Didn't we already..." Lu Youqing was a little surprised.

"That's right," Qin Ke nodded and explained softly, "Registering with the household register was a temporary measure. It was not what you wanted. Now I want to ask you a question."

As he spoke, he raised his head, her figure reflected in his dark pupils. His heart was filled with her, with no room for anything else.

"I am attracted to you, are you willing to be my wife?"

Lu Youqing suddenly understood his deep meaning and her lips moved.

She has become an official now and is no longer the Lu Youqing whose life and property are in the hands of others and who can only be slaughtered at will.

She had a foundation to make a living, and he was giving her the power to refuse.

If it were in the past, she would have no one to rely on and nowhere to stay after leaving the Qin family. If he asked this question, these factors might have become her concerns.

But now, she has found her lord and has an official position. She is no longer the helpless Lu Youqing. Regarding this issue, she can just follow her heart and can... say no.

But how could Lu Youqing say no? It was the man in front of her who carefully and gently mended her broken bones, and it was he who did his best to support her up. Even today, he was so considerate and gentle.

There is no other man as gentle as this in this world.

How could she bear to let go?

She didn't reply, and the only sound in the room was the crackling of the candlelight.

"Qingqing." Qin Ke couldn't hold back any longer and murmured.

"I am already your wife, and I am willing to be your wife." Lu Youqing finally answered Qin Ke's question.

Her voice was soft and gentle, just like the snowflakes on a winter night, yet surprisingly firm.

Qin Ke, who had always looked nervous, finally smiled happily. It was a smile from the heart.

It was brighter and more cheerful than any other Lu Youqing had ever seen before.

"Ma'am, put your hand out."

Lu Youqing glanced at the jewelry he had been holding, then slowly stretched out her hand and raised it in front of him.

Qin Ke took a deep breath, took out the female ring from the box, took up her jade hand, and slowly put it on her ring finger. She looked very serious throughout the whole process, as if she was doing the most important thing in the world.

Looking at her slender fingers wearing rings, the red gems dotted between them making her hands look even whiter and tenderer, Qin Ke leaned down and gave them a gentle kiss.

Lu Youqing felt that the place where his kiss fell became hot, and she couldn't help but curl her fingers.

Qin Ke stared at it for a while, as if he had finally appreciated it enough, and then he held another men's ring in front of her and said softly, "I want you to put this ring on me."

Lu Youqing always felt that he was performing some extremely important ceremony.

Following Qin Ke's previous action, he put the ring on his finger as well. Compared with Lu Youqing's ring, Qin Ke's ring was thicker and simpler, with only a gemstone so red that it seemed to be dripping with blood inlaid on it.

But it is obvious that the designs of the two are exactly the same.

"Is this... a ring?" Lu Youqing raised her hand and looked at the perfectly fitted golden ring. The gem on it flickered in the candlelight.

"Well, this is a tradition in our hometown, worn by couples."

"My lady, I like you." Qin Ke moved closer to him and stared at her eagerly, the expectant look on his face was too obvious.

Lu Youqing knew exactly what he was expecting.

She turned her head to avoid his sight, pursed her lips, and raised her hand to tuck the black hair by her ear.

After a while, she finally stretched out her hands to hold his handsome cheeks, calmed herself down and said, "In this life... I only wish to be with you."
