President, please comfort me.

Chen Nuo smiled happily as she watched the flurry of activity in the kitchen.

As evening fell, the two returned to Lansheng.

As soon as the door opened, the loving ambiance of the room greeted the eye. Moreover, Wen Qixiao, Lanling Tangchao, Yang Xu, and Tang Yue were all present.

Ye Lin knew that the girls were close friends, and although he really wanted to spend some time alone with Chen Nuo, he still specially invited everyone to celebrate his girlfriend's birthday together.

Chen Nuo's eyes were filled with shock and emotion. Before she could speak, she realized that the man who had just been standing next to her was now walking towards her with a large bouquet of flowers.

The man was perhaps a little excited and nervous; his eyes were red at the corners, and his voice was different from usual, hoarse and deep: "Nono, happy birthday."

Chen Nuo took the flowers, and for some reason, her eyes suddenly welled up with tears.

Ye Lin gently wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes and led her inside.

Although Chen Nuo has come here quite often since the two got together, today feels a little different.

Under the watchful eyes of a large group of people inside, Ye Lin led Chen Nuo to the beautifully decorated dining room, where candlelight flickered on the table and delicious food exuded an enticing aroma.

Just then, the lights suddenly went out, and Wen Qi and Lan Ling slowly pushed a cake cart over. Then, everyone sang "Happy Birthday" together.

Happy birthday!

"Happy birthday to you--"

……

Everyone offered their blessings, and Chen Nuo's face was full of smiles.

After blowing out the candles, Ye Lin suddenly knelt down on one knee in front of Chen Nuo and took out a ring that he had prepared long ago from his pocket.

He spoke with deep emotion, his voice firm and strong yet still choked with emotion: "Nono, I love you. Will you marry me?"

Chen Nuo was completely stunned. She hadn't expected Ye Lin to propose so suddenly, especially since they hadn't been together for very long. However, after only a few seconds, she nodded vigorously.

"I love you too, I'm willing." Chen Nuo's smile was unfathomable, a genuine joy from the bottom of her heart.

Upon hearing the affirmative answer, Ye Lin completely lost control of his emotions, but he didn't have time to burst into tears because he was afraid that Chen Nuo would regret it. So he wiped away his tears and quickly slipped the dazzling diamond ring firmly onto her middle finger.

"Wife, I'll listen to you from now on, and I'll cherish you. You're in charge at home, and I'll earn the money," Ye Lin immediately said shamelessly.

Upon seeing this, everyone cheered, and cheers, applause, and even screams echoed throughout the room.

"Come on, Nuobao, let's cut the cake!" After the two main characters calmed down a bit, Lanling walked over and pushed the shy Chen Nuo in front of the cake.

"Come here, Nuonuo, your favorite strawberry cake! We made it ourselves!" Wenqi, the little glutton, who loves sweets, pulled Tang Yue over as well.

Several men followed and gave Chen Nuo the gifts they had prepared. Then they stood beside their respective loved ones, occasionally offering them tissues and drinks.

On this beautiful night, Chen Nuo not only celebrated his birthday but also received a lifelong commitment.

-

The arrival of February signifies the growing festive atmosphere of the Lunar New Year. After the last pre-New Year's gathering, Tang Chao took Lanling's hand and walked towards the car.

"Little girl, tomorrow is February 14th, do you know what day that is?" Tang Chao stared at his girlfriend, whose face was unusually rosy, his tone carrying three parts doting, three parts helplessness, and four parts warning.

The slightly tipsy woman deliberately went against him, shaking her head and saying, "February 14th? I know, it's my brother's birthday!"

Not hearing the answer he wanted, the man frowned: "Anything else?"

"There's more? Oh, Valentine's Day, right? Don't worry, I know." The little woman knew perfectly well what was going on, but she continued to play dumb, as if she was deliberately trying to provoke him.

Seeing that his mischievous girlfriend was so clueless, and since she was already in the car, Tang Chao decided to go all out and simply carried her to the back seat by himself.

"Bang!" The car door slammed shut.

"We agreed to get our marriage certificate tomorrow, and you still dare to drink today? Are you asking for trouble!" Tang Chao flipped him over and pinned him to the car seat, giving Lanling's shapely buttocks a light slap with his large hand, his tone slightly higher than before.

When the two of them were usually affectionate, Tang Chao couldn't bear to leave any marks on her body. This girl really needed to be disciplined; she wouldn't behave unless he "beat" her.

She originally said she would get her marriage certificate on January 13th—a date that sounds like "lifetime" in Chinese—but she secretly ate ice cream that day, got diarrhea, and spent the whole day in bed, so she naturally failed to get the certificate.

A grown man doesn't care about homophones or not; he just wants to get that person on the household register as soon as possible.

Then they said to wait until February 14th—a homophone for "I love you forever"—and that day is both a birthday and Valentine's Day, making it incredibly auspicious and even more memorable.

Alright then, February 14th it is. A month's time, Tang Dynasty thought, and gritted his teeth and endured it.

As a result, I told her not to drink alcohol, but I wasn't looking closely and she ended up like this, her face as red as a monkey's bottom. I'm really afraid that this little rascal won't be able to get up tomorrow.

Tang Chao had no way to deal with Lanling. After a sigh, he wanted to continue to educate her, but he suddenly realized that the little girl who had been chattering and making a fuss just now seemed to have fallen silent after being beaten.

Tang Chao's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly leaned closer, brushing aside a few stray strands of hair that were obscuring Lanling's face: "Baby~"

To his surprise, the little girl was silently shedding tears. This terrified Tang Chao, and his heart immediately jumped into his throat: "What's wrong, baby? Are you feeling unwell?"

"You hit me! Tang Chao, you big bad guy, how could you hit me! Waaaaah..." Lanling cried so hard that large tears fell from her eyes.

"I... baby, I didn't hit you, don't cry..."

"Waaah..." The crying continued.

"How could your brother bear to hit you? Don't cry. I won't hold you accountable for drinking alcohol secretly." Tang Chao was incredibly soft-hearted and coaxed her gently.

Lanling always used this trick to sneak in food she shouldn't have, and it was a common occurrence. Tang Chao always fell for it, but he couldn't help it; he doted on his wife and couldn't bear to see her shed a single tear.

I thought that after I said that, the little girl would stop, but this time it was different from before. Although the crying was a little quieter, she was still sobbing intermittently.

"What's wrong? Hmm?" Tang Chao felt a pang of heartache and quickly pulled her onto his lap, wiping away her tears while patiently asking.

"I want to go home, back to Xiamen." Lanling's face was covered in tears, her eyes were red and swollen, and she looked both pitiful and aggrieved.

"Okay, okay, let's go back, let's go back now." Tang Chao felt uneasy, blaming himself for not taking good care of Lanling, not knowing why she suddenly wanted to go back to Xiamen.
