This kiss was long and passionate, with a hint of punishment and a strong hint of pampering. Han Shangyan reluctantly let Chu Hua go until she was about to suffocate.

"Hu...Hu..." Chu Huan was breathing heavily, her cheeks were as red as cooked shrimps, her eyes were blurred, and she looked like she was ready to be picked.

Han Shangyan looked at her innocent appearance, feeling satisfied, and couldn't help but peck her on the lips again: "Little fool, don't run away again."

"I...I didn't run away..." Chu Huan protested in a low voice, but didn't dare to look at him.

"You still say you didn't run away?" Han Shangyan chuckled and pinched her nose: "If I hadn't been quick just now, you would have run away."

Chu Hua's thoughts were exposed by him, and she was so ashamed that she wanted to find a hole to crawl into.

Han Shangyan was in a good mood when he saw her shy look. He held her tightly in his arms and whispered in her ear: "Huanhuan, marry me, and I will make you the happiest woman in the world."

Chu Huan leaned in his arms, listening to his strong heartbeat, and an unprecedented sense of security surrounded her. She nodded gently, as a response to his promise.

"Then I'll go discuss it with my uncle and aunt right away!" Han Shangyan said as he was about to turn around.

Chu Hua finally reacted and grabbed the corner of his clothes, saying in panic, "Wait...wait! Are we going now?"

"Of course, the sooner the better." Han Shangyan raised his eyebrows, a sly look flashed in his eyes: "Why? Huanhuan regrets it?"

Chu Hua's face turned even redder, like a ripe tomato. She stammered, "No...no...it's just...it's just too sudden...and today is New Year's Eve, can we wait until next time?"

Han Shangyan looked at Chu Hua, his eyes full of smiles, as if he could see through her little thoughts.

"Hanhuan, are you stalling for time?" He said in a playful tone with a hint of ridicule.

Chu Hua was seen through by him, and she felt even more embarrassed, her face was red as if it was about to bleed. "No... No!" She retorted in a low voice, but her eyes avoided him and she didn't dare to look at him.

"Oh? Really?" Han Shangyan pressed closer and closer, pushing her into a corner. His slender fingers gently lifted her chin, forcing her to look at him.

"Then why don't you dare look at me?"

Chu Hua was forced into a corner by him and could only look him in the face, but she found that she could not resist his deep gaze at all, as if she was being sucked in. Her heart was beating like a drum, and she felt like a deer being stared at by a hunter, with no ability to resist at all.

"I...I just..." Chu Huan stuttered, not knowing how to explain.

Han Shangyan looked at her flustered look, and a wicked smile appeared on his lips. "Just what?" He deliberately prolonged the ending tone, with a hint of temptation in his tone.

"Today is New Year's Eve. If I tell my mother, she will be angry. It's not good... Let's talk about it after the New Year..."

Han Shangyan didn't get angry after hearing this, but laughed softly, and the vibration of his chest was clearly transmitted to Chu Hua. He laughed like a fox who stole some meat, and his eyes and eyebrows were filled with unconcealed pride.

"Huanhuan, are you concerned about me?" he asked in a slightly hoarse voice. His warm breath sprayed on Chuhuan's earlobe, causing a slight shiver.

Chu Huan was stunned by his question. She subconsciously wanted to deny it, but felt that the more she tried to hide it, the more obvious it would be. She could only say "hmm" vaguely, her voice as thin as a mosquito.

"It turns out that our Chuhua is so sensible and knows how to feel sorry for me." Han Shangyan's tone became even gentler, but with a hint of subtle teasing. He gently stroked Chuhua's chin, feeling the delicate and smooth skin.

"Who... who feels sorry for you!" Chu Hua's face flushed, and she tried to break free from his control, but he held her tightly in his arms.

"Okay, okay, don't feel sorry for me." Han Shangyan smiled and followed her words, but his eyes were full of pampering.

"So Huanhuan is worried that your mother will be angry?"

Chu Hua felt even more embarrassed when he revealed her true feelings. She could only mutter quietly, "Today is New Year's Eve... It's not a good idea to say it..."

"Then according to Huanhuan, when is the right time to say it?" Han Shangyan teased her deliberately, with a hint of ridicule in his tone.

Chu Hua was speechless after hearing his question. She could only lower her head and play with his fingers silently.

"After the New Year, how about the Lantern Festival?" Han Shangyan suggested, with a hint of anticipation in his tone.

Chu Huan thought about it and felt that the Lantern Festival was a good day as it was after the New Year and it was quite festive, so she nodded slightly.

Seeing her nod, Han Shangyan was overjoyed and wanted to immediately announce to the world that he was going to marry Chu Hua. But he still held back, after all, he had to respect the opinion of his future mother-in-law.

"Hanhuan, you're so nice." Han Shangyan placed a gentle kiss on her forehead, as if he was treating a precious treasure.

"Then... let's go back now, everyone is waiting for us." She said in a low voice, wanting to escape from this ambiguous atmosphere.

"Okay." Han Shangyan let her go, took her hand, and interlocked their fingers.

The two returned to the private room hand in hand, and sure enough, the elders were standing at the door with smiles on their faces after reuniting.

Tong Nian was the first to bear the brunt of the attack. She grabbed Chu Hua's hand and looked her up and down, her eyes full of inquiry: "Tell me the truth, where did you two go? Why did you take so long?"

Han Shangyan stretched out his long arm and pulled Chu Hua behind him, blocking Tong Nian's probing gaze. He said with a barely perceptible warning, "It's New Year's Day, don't scare your sister."

Tong Nian rolled her eyes. They haven't even married yet, and they're already protecting each other! She wanted to ask a few more questions, but was stopped by the eyes of her parents behind her, so she had to shut up in dismay.

Chu Huan was pulled behind her mother and asked with concern: "Huan Huan, where did you and Han Shangyan go? Why did you take so long?"

Chu Hua's cheeks were still flushed, her eyes flickered, and she stammered, "No... I didn't go anywhere, I was just taking a walk."

"Just taking a walk? Can you just take a walk for more than an hour?" Chu Hua's mother obviously didn't believe it. She looked back and forth between her daughter and Han Shangyan with suspicious eyes.

Seeing this, Han Shangyan quickly stepped forward to explain, "Auntie, it's my fault. I dragged Huanhuan to talk about something and wasted time. Please don't blame her."

"Talk about things? What are we supposed to talk about during New Year's Day?"

Chu Hua's mother was still skeptical, but seeing Han Shangyan's sincere attitude, she didn't ask any more questions. She just reminded him, "Huan Hua, don't do this again in the future. It's New Year's Day, don't make your mother worry."

"I understand, Mom." Chu Huan responded obediently, but she secretly breathed a sigh of relief in her heart.

Han Shangyan's heart softened when he saw Chu Hua's well-behaved appearance. He wished he could marry her home immediately and love her well.
