After landing in Beijing, Wen Li took a taxi from the airport to the Lu family.

When I walked in, I saw my grandmother playing checkers with Lu Jingyuan in the living room.

"Woof~" General Hei was the first to notice her return.

"elder sister."

"Li Li is back."

Both the old and the young came forward to greet them.

"I'm back." Wen Li responded, walked over, bent down and cupped Lu Jingyuan's little face, "You've gained some weight, and you look much better."

Wen Li hadn't expected this trip to last so many days. Her grandmother had just arrived and wasn't used to the place, and she'd left her alone. She'd originally planned to have Lu Xixiao temporarily send her grandmother back to Mingcheng, and then pick her up when she returned. After asking her grandmother what she thought, she said she'd wait here for her. Lu Xixiao also promised her that he'd take good care of her, which reassured her. Now that she was back and saw that her grandmother looked well, she felt much better.

"Where is your grandfather?" Wen Li asked Lu Jingyuan.

Lu Jingyuan: "Grandpa is working."

Wen Li: "Still working on your day off?"

She and Lu Xixiao were in contact every day, so she naturally knew that Lu Xixiao had returned to the company and was probably meeting some client today.

Lu Jingyuan: "Yeah. I'll call Grandpa."

Wen Li stopped him and said, "No, let him do his work. I'm a little tired now, so I'll go upstairs and lie down for a while. Just call me for dinner."

Lu Xixiao came back from outside after finishing his work. He hadn't received a reply from Wen Li yet and was about to call her. As soon as he entered the room, Lu Jingyuan told him that he was back. He went upstairs in surprise.

He opened the door and entered the bedroom very quietly, but as soon as he approached, Wen Li, who was sleeping, opened his eyes as if he had sensed something.

Lu Xixiao immediately quickened his pace and sat down beside the bed. He reached out and put Wen Li, who had sat up, on his lap, and then hugged him.

"Li Li." He missed her so much that he held her tightly and didn't want to let go.

He felt that it was not enough for him to hug her by himself, so he pulled Wen Li's arm to put it on his waist, asking Wen Li to hug him too, with both arms.

This is the only way to comfort him.

Wen Li, forced to hug him back, glanced at him with a mixture of amusement and disdain. Still feeling sleepy, she rested her chin lazily on Lu Xixiao's shoulder, closed her eyes, and felt an indescribable sense of peace in her heart. She calmly retracted her arms around his waist, took the opportunity to measure his waistline, and said to herself, "I didn't eat any meat at all."

Lu Xixiao said with some resentment: "Why didn't you tell me when you came back so I could pick you up at the airport? I'm still waiting for your reply."

Wen Li's eyelids moved: "Come back and scare you."

Lu Xixiao: "It's a surprise, but you're still being stubborn."

His tone was joyful, and he kept rubbing his face against Wen Li's neck.

He held her for a long time before letting go, lifted his face from Wen Li's shoulder, cupped her face and said, "Let me take a good look at you."

He acted like a quality inspector, making Wen Li feel embarrassed.

As he watched, the resentment in his heart rose. Holding Wen Li's face, he angrily said, "You lied to me." He frowned slightly and complained to her aggrievedly, "You said you'd be back in three or four days, but you were gone for fifty-one days. It was still hot when you left, and it was almost winter when you came back. I even missed your twentieth birthday, and you didn't let me go to see you. Do you know how much I missed you?"

Seeing his face full of emotions, Wen Li tried hard to suppress the corners of her mouth, but he still noticed. He got even angrier: "Still laughing."

He was so angry that he bit her face.

Wen Li smiled because Lu Xixiao looked exactly like Lu Jingyuan, especially the phrase "lied to me." Lu Jingyuan had also said those two words, but to Lu Xixiao. Although their emotions were a little different, Lu Jingyuan was angry and distressed, but from their expressions to their tones, they were like cast from the same mold.

She remembered Lu Jingyuan saying that his little grandfather was cute.

Hmm...it seems a little bit.

Lu Xixiao's bite was neither heavy nor light, leaving a shallow tooth mark on Wen Li's face. After biting, he sucked hard. Looking at her red face, he kissed it with heartache.

"Li Li." He held her face and looked into her eyes.

Just when Wen Li thought he was going to kiss her, Lu Xixiao suddenly said to her: "Li Li, are you willing to go with me to get the marriage certificate?"

Wen Li was stunned and looked at him: "???!!!"

Lu Xixiao held her face and said solemnly: "Li Li, I want to marry you, I want to be your legal husband, I want to be with you and take care of you for the rest of my life. I won't put any pressure on you, can you just consider it? It's okay to reject me this time."

He looked at her nervously.

Wen Li said without thinking: "Are you kidding me?"

Lu Xixiao's expression froze, and the light in his eyes instantly disappeared.

Did she never think of marrying him?

Wen Li: "You save too much with this process."

Lu Xixiao was stunned for two seconds, then he reacted and smiled. This roller coaster-like turn made his smile a little stiff. His heart was suddenly clenched and then loosened, and the surge of adrenaline made his hands tremble.

"I'm ready." He was surprised and happy.

He stretched out his arm, opened the drawer of the bedside table, and took out several file bags: "All my personal property has been transferred to your name."

He casually placed several thick file bags on the bed, then took out a small box from his suit jacket pocket, handed it to her, opened it, and asked, "Can I propose to you?"

Inside the box was a round-cut pigeon egg diamond ring.

He carried the diamond ring with him every day, waiting for her to come back.

Caught off guard, Wen Li's eyes flickered.

Lu Xixiao couldn't understand her reaction. Thinking that he was missing a step and lacked sincerity, he hurriedly said, "I'll kneel down for you."

Wen Li stopped him and said, "No need."

She lowered her eyes and looked at the ring in his hand.

Lu Xixiao stared at her, nervously waiting for her answer.

Half a while,

Wen Li hesitated and said, "Is this size suitable?"

Lu Xixiao understood and immediately took out the ring. He grabbed Wen Li's left hand and put it on her ring finger: "Try it and see if it fits."

He held his breath and put it on her slowly and solemnly.

It's neither too big nor too small, just the right size. It fits as if Wen Li had measured it himself, and it fits as if it was tailor-made for Wen Li.

He said shamelessly, "Once you put it on, you're not allowed to take it off."

Wen Li curled his lips slightly, lowered his head to look at the diamond ring on his ring finger, and asked without raising his head: "Don't you have one?"

Lu Xixiao showed her his hand: "I put it on a long time ago."

Wen Li, who hadn't noticed the whole thing, said: "..."

My eyes are so blind.

And, it has to be him.

Lu Xixiao: "Help me put it on again."

Wen Li: "You've already put it on."

He didn't care, took off the ring and handed it to Wen Li.

Wen Li, holding his men's ring: "..."

A grown man still needs a sense of ritual.

She reluctantly put the ring on his ring finger.

Lu Xixiao looked again and again with eyes full of joy and happiness.

Lu Xixiao, who was used to pushing things further, struck while the iron was hot: "Since you've agreed to my proposal, can we go get the marriage certificate? It's only a matter of time, so I don't have to worry too much."

Thinking of Wen Li's character, he changed his words: "If you think marrying me makes you look weak, I can marry you. If we have children in the future, the children will take your surname, and the wedding..."

Wen Li raised her head and interrupted him: "Can you accept being a DINK? I haven't thought about having children, at least not in the next few years, and maybe not in my lifetime. Let me be clear."

Without any hesitation, Lu Xixiao promised earnestly: "I can accept it. You have the final say on whether to have the baby or not, and you have the final say on all matters concerning the family from now on. Before I met you, I had no plans to get married and have children, so naturally, I had never thought about children. I also don't want you to suffer. If you are afraid that I will regret it, I can get a vasectomy right away. If I get a vasectomy, I won't have to use condoms anymore, which is even better."

Wen Li: “…”

Damn, you're not being serious anymore.

He spoke in a serious manner even though the words were not serious.

Wen Li: "In my marriage, there is only widowhood, not divorce."

Wen Li had originally intended for him to be cautious, but he was pleasantly surprised when he heard this: "Really? Then I don't have to worry about you abandoning me."

"..." Wen Li: "Don't you feel at a disadvantage?"

Lu Xixiao: "I made a lot of money."

Wen Li said nothing more.

Lu Xixiao: "So you agree to get the marriage certificate?"

She said nothing, lowered her head, and her eyes fell on the ring.

Lu Xixiao lowered his head and touched her with his head: "Li Li?"

Wen Li raised his head and said, "Next month."

Lu Xixiao suppressed his excitement and said, "Really?! We agreed not to go back on our word. If you do, I'll go complain to my grandmother."

Wen Li: "When have I ever regretted it?"

She muttered in disgust: "You are such an adult and you are still complaining."

Lu Xixiao smiled, holding Wen Li's face and kissing her hard on the lips: "Li Li is a man of his word. But can you tell me why it's next month?"

Wen Li raised her eyes to look at him, pinched his chin with one hand and turned his face left and right, saying, "You've lost some weight. You won't look good in wedding photos."

This reason made Lu Xixiao laugh and cry: "I will eat hard this month to regain my weight, and you should eat more too. You look good, but you can look better. Then let's agree to get the marriage certificate on this day next month, okay?

"Go, go, go. Eat." Wen Li wanted to get up.

"Wait a minute, I have something else for you." Lu Xixiao held the person and didn't let him go. He took out another thing from his other pocket and said to Wen Li, "Wear this on you. It's exactly the same as Jing Yuan's. It's very effective. Just think of it as a comfort to me."

Wen Li looked at the amulet he placed in his palm.

"Exactly the same?" She glanced at him. Lu Jingyuan had knelt down step by step to make that amulet, so this one was the same too?

He knelt twice, once for Lu Jingyuan and once for her.

Lu Jingyuan was saving her life, and he was just praying for her safety.

Lu Xixiao: "Yeah."

Wen Li looked down at the amulet in his hand, not knowing what he was thinking. He didn't react for a long time, just looking at it.

Lu Xixiao couldn't see the expression on her face, and worried that she would dislike it, so he said, "Just think of it as my superstition. Don't bother me. Just think of it as asking for peace of mind, okay? Just put it in your pocket and don't lose it."

He heard Wen Li take a deep breath, and saw her collarbone dent. Then she raised her face and said, "I see you don't want your knees anymore. Don't expect me to push you out of the house when you get old."

She didn't even look at Lu Xixiao, she got off Lu Xixiao's legs and walked towards the bathroom, putting the amulet around her neck as she walked.

Lu Xixiao felt very touched when he heard these heartless words, and he was also moved by Wen Li's action of wearing the amulet around his neck.

He stood up and followed Wen Li, saying, "My Li Li is so nice, she will definitely push me out."

Wen Li went into the bathroom, and Lu Xixiao wanted to follow him in.

Wen Li stared at him and said, "I'm brushing my teeth, what are you doing?"

Lu Xixiao retracted his foot and waited outside: "I'll wait for you."

He just stared at her while she brushed her teeth, not wanting to blink, as if he could never get enough of watching her.

Wen Li finished washing up and was about to go out, but Lu Xixiao, who had been waiting for an opportunity, rushed into the bathroom first and blocked her way.

Wen Li's eyes were dangerous as she reminded him, "Eat! Food!"

"Yeah, let's eat." Lu Xixiao picked the person up with one arm and put him on the washstand, supporting himself on both sides of Wen Li with his hands: "Eat Li Li."

He lowered his head and kissed Wen Li.

While kissing, he said, "Eat a little first, and then we'll have a big meal in the evening."

Wen Li pushed his face away: "Eat your uncle."

Lu Xixiao: "From now on, you will be the master of the family."

Wen Li was so speechless that she kicked him.

Lu Xixiao told her about his longing for her: "Li Li, do you know how I've been spending these past fifty-one days? I've missed you so much that calluses have formed on my hands. I miss you in my heart, my body, and everywhere."

Wen Li: “???”

Wen Li, who didn't understand, was about to ask, but stopped after thinking of something.

Seeing that she understood, Lu Xixiao wanted to explain it to her again.

Hearing this, Wen Li wanted to sew his mouth shut.

It was so yellow that I wanted to call the police to arrest him.

Lu Xixiao looked forward to it day and night, eating more and exercising every day, and his condition returned to its peak. Finally, the day of getting the marriage certificate arrived.

He always thought Wen Li had told his grandmother, but it turned out that she hadn't.

Wen Li hadn't told her grandmother yet, nor had she told Jiang Yingbai, Lin Zhuxi, or the others. She could already imagine how Lin Zhuxi, who had been kept in the dark, would punish her if she found out about the certificate she had received today...

Seeing that Wen Li didn't know how to talk to her grandmother, Lu Xixiao was afraid that she would regret it, so he took the initiative to offer: "I'll go talk to grandma."

Wen Li stopped him and said, "I'll go by myself."

When the old lady heard that Wen Li wanted the household registration book, she quickly gave it to her.

The old lady didn't ask, and just before handing it to Wen Li, Wen Li said, "I'll take the household registration booklet to get the marriage certificate from Lu Xixiao."

The old lady was stunned and asked uncertainly, "Marriage certificate?"

Wen Li: "Yeah."

The old lady hesitated for a moment, but still gave the household registration booklet to Wen Li and said with a smile, "Then go quickly, and remember to dress nicely."

Although she felt that Wen Li was young and would have to wait until graduation before getting married, she understood when she thought of Lu Xixiao's age.

From childhood to adulthood, she has supported Wen Li no matter what decision he made.

Wen Li must have considered marriage carefully as it is such an important life event, and she believes in Wen Li's choice.

Wen Li looked at the household registration booklet that his grandmother handed to him, then looked at his grandmother who said nothing, and held the household registration booklet without moving.

The old lady understood her thoughts and said to her with a smile, "Just get it. Marriage is a matter between the two of you. Just make the decision. And I believe you won't be bound by a marriage certificate. Besides, this also shows that Xiao Lu really wants to spend his life with you. It's a good thing, a happy event. I wish you all the best."

Only then did Wen Li feel at ease and took the household registration book to find Lu Xixiao, but when the door opened, Lu Xixiao was waiting outside the room.

When Lu Xixiao saw the household registration book in Wen Li's hand, he said to his grandmother who was following behind Wen Li with gratitude and joy, "Thank you, grandma."

The old lady smiled.

Lu Xixiao wore Wen Li's favorite black shirt.

Wen Li was wearing a beige knitted long skirt, which was originally given to her by Lu Jingyuan. She had specially returned to her residence the day before to pick it up.

The makeup artist put on some light makeup for her and tied up her long hair.

After preparing everything, the two set off for the Civil Affairs Bureau.

Lu Xixiao was looking forward to it, holding Wen Li's hand tightly all the way, not knowing whether he was excited or afraid that she would run away.

The car stopped in front of the Civil Affairs Bureau.

They were the first two newcomers to arrive today.

Lu Qi led a group of people to distribute red envelopes and wedding candies to the entire Civil Affairs Bureau staff. After all their years of work, it was the first time an employee had received such a large and generous red envelope, and they were so excited that they said their full blessing.

When it was time to take pictures, Lu Xixiao took out a white veil.

Wen Li didn't even know he had prepared this.

While Lu Xixiao fixed the veil behind her head, he reminded her: "Remember to smile later, it will look good in the photos."

Wen Li: “…”

The two sat side by side in front of a red background, fingers intertwined.

Staff: “Okay.”

"three,"

"two,"

"one."

As the shutter sounded, the picture froze.
