The betrothal gifts were huge, filling up several large carts. They included gold, silver, treasures, silks, satins, rare antiques, and everything else, demonstrating the Yun family's wealth and the importance they attached to this marriage.

Before leaving, Yun Che specifically handed the list of betrothal gifts to Li Xiaoxiao, wanting her to see with her own eyes everything he had prepared for her.

Li Xiaoxiao took the list, her fingertips gently sliding across the delicate papers, her heart welling up with an indescribable feeling of emotion. She knew that these gifts were not just material symbols, but also a reflection of Yun Che's deep affection for her.

“Yun Che, you’ve prepared so much for me, I…” Li Xiaoxiao’s words were choked with sobs, and her eyes were slightly red.

Yun Che gently held her hand and said softly, "Xiaoxiao, you are the most precious treasure in my heart. These words are not enough to express my love for you. I only hope that you can feel my sincerity and be willing to spend your life with me."

Upon hearing this, Li Xiaoxiao felt a surge of happiness in her heart. She tightly grasped Yun Che's hand, her eyes gleaming with determination, "Yun Che, I do. No matter what the future holds, I am willing to walk hand in hand with you."

Their vows echoed in the Yun Mansion's flower hall, filling the air with a sweet scent. Yun Qinghai and Aunt Lan, mother and son, were a little dissatisfied when they saw Yun Che had prepared such a generous proposal. They felt that Li Xiaoxiao, a peasant girl from a small family, shouldn't have prepared so much. However, due to the presence of Yun Mutian, the head of the Yun family, and the fact that Yun Che was now basically in control of the Yun family, they dared not say anything.

After Yun Che bid farewell to Yun Mutian and Yun Qinghai, he left with Li Xiaoxiao.

A few days ago, the Bai family received a notice from Manager Zhao, saying that Yun Che would bring Li Xiaoxiao back soon and propose marriage.

Bai Shi, Bai Dong and others had been waiting for Li Xiaoxiao and the others to come back. Thinking that her daughter was about to get engaged, Bai Shi was both happy and disappointed. She was naturally happy that her daughter had found such a good marriage, but she felt uncomfortable thinking that the capital was so far away and she would probably not see her daughter once a year after she got married. With this dilemma, one day, Yun Che, Li Xiaoxiao and the others finally arrived.

When the convoy entered the village, the carts full of gifts attracted the villagers to follow curiously, wanting to see which girl was so blessed.

When Mrs. Bai heard the noise outside, she quickly took Bai Dong and Li Dashan out to greet them. As soon as Li Xiaoxiao got out of the car, she saw her mother. She ran a few steps and threw herself into Mrs. Bai's arms.

"Mom, I miss you so much."

"Oh, good boy, I'm glad you're back." Mrs. Bai patted Li Xiaoxiao's back, her eyes full of love.

Li Fang and Li Linlin, who were standing by, couldn't help but hug Li Xiaoxiao when they saw her come back. They said in unison, "Sister, you're finally back! We missed you so much!"

Li Xiaoxiao looked at the two people in front of her, smiled, touched their heads and said, "Sister misses you too."

Yun Che bowed to Bai Shi, Bai Dong, and Bai Jing, "Mother-in-law, eldest uncle, and younger uncle."

Mrs. Bai smiled and nodded, "Yun Che, you've worked hard on the journey. Come in and sit down." Bai Dong and Bai Jing also nodded with a smile.

After everyone entered the house and exchanged pleasantries, Yun Che explained his purpose. The Bai family was delighted and immediately agreed to the marriage.

Yun Che took out the engagement letter and marriage certificate and handed them to Bai Shi. Bai Shi took them carefully, looked at them again and again, and a satisfied smile appeared on her face.

"Okay, okay." Bai said with a smile, "Yun Che, Xiao Xiao will be handed over to you from now on. You must treat her well."

“Don’t worry, mother-in-law. I will definitely take good care of Xiao Xiao.” Yun Che said solemnly.

After the engagement was agreed upon, the matchmaker took the couple's horoscopes and considered them, declaring them a match made in heaven. "Mr. Yun, next year's fifth and tenth of the ninth lunar month are both auspicious dates for marriage. Which one would you choose?" the matchmaker asked.

Yun Che thought of what Li Xiaoxiao had said before, saying that she wanted to spend more time at home with her family, and said, "Let's have the tenth day of September. We have more time and can prepare for the wedding properly." The matchmaker nodded and said, "Then it's settled. The tenth day of September is a good day for marriage and it's a very auspicious day." Bai and Li Xiaoxiao also agreed.

Now that the marriage was settled, Yun Che felt at ease. Bai gave the matchmaker the red envelope she had brought with her. The matchmaker took it, weighed it, and the smile on her face visibly widened.

After sending off the matchmaker and the coachman, Yun Che agreed to stay at the Li family for a few more days as requested by Bai Shi. Yun Che readily agreed. He had been longing to be with the one he loved, and now they could finally be together with a clear conscience.

In the evening, the Bai family prepared a sumptuous dinner. Yun Che and Yun Yi helped the Bai family to set the table. Li Xiaoxiao, who was standing by, looked at Yun Che and felt very happy.

At the dinner table, Li Fang was picking up the food with his bowl and chopsticks while asking in a low voice, "Sister, will you not come back after you get married?"

Li Linlin, who was standing by, put down her chopsticks after hearing what Li Fang said and looked at Li Xiaoxiao worriedly.

Li Xiaoxiao patted his brother and sister's heads and comforted them, "How could that be? This will always be my home. Of course I will come back often."

Seeing this, Mrs. Bai also said, "Yes, even if Xiaoxiao gets married, she is still a daughter of our Li family. This will never change."

After hearing what their sister and mother said, Li Fang and Li Linlin finally felt relieved and continued to eat.

The family enjoyed dinner happily. After the meal, Bai called Yun Che to the room and asked about his future plans.

Yun Che told Bai that he had taken over most of the Yun family's business and would focus on the capital in the future. However, he promised to bring Li Xiaoxiao back to visit his family often.

After hearing this, Mrs. Bai felt much more at ease. She knew that Yun Che was a responsible man and believed that he would treat Xiao Xiao well.

At night, Li Xiaoxiao lay in bed, tossing and turning, unable to sleep.

She thought about what Li Fang and Li Linlin had said during the day, and her heart was filled with reluctance. She wished she could continue living in Lijia Village.

Li Xiaoxiao knew that she would face a new life and challenges after getting married. Although she was a little worried about the future, she also looked forward to creating a beautiful future with Yun Che. She decided to cherish the remaining time, spend it with her family, and prepare for the future.
