President, please comfort me.

After lunch, Tang Chao took her for a short walk around the courtyard to help her digest.

"You got up so early this morning, go to bed and take a nap, otherwise you won't have any energy in the afternoon."

"And what about you?" Indeed, he was a little sleepy after eating, and Lanling held his hand, her voice soft and sweet.

The bed wasn't big, but it was big enough for the two of them to rest together. Afraid that she might feel embarrassed, Tang Chao didn't plan to go up and sleep with her: "I'll just sit here and keep you company."

Lanling was quite considerate in this regard. She got up early, but Tang Chao was already waiting at her doorstep around 7 a.m., so he probably didn't get much sleep either.

Without thinking, she said, "Why don't you lie down and take a nap? This place is quite big. I'll sleep on the side. What's the point of you sitting here?" After saying that, she pulled him directly, making it clear that she wouldn't allow him to argue.

Seeing her calm expression, Tang Chao cleared his mind of distractions and said, "Okay, then go to sleep for a while."

Lanling was really tired and fell asleep as soon as her head hit the pillow. It was very cool here and not hot at all. Tang Chao was afraid that she would catch a cold, so he took off his coat and covered her with it.

Lanling woke up at 2 PM. Tang Chao had already woken up and was sitting quietly beside her, watching her intently.

"When did you wake up? Why didn't you wake me?" Lanling's voice, just after waking up, was like a lazy cat meowing softly, with a hazy, hoarse tone.

"I didn't disturb you half an hour ago because you were sleeping so soundly."

"Oh, I want some water." Lanling rubbed her eyes, sat up, and realized that he was still covered with his coat. She was overjoyed, and her voice became much more coquettish.

Tang Chao handed her some water: "Get up and move around a bit, let's go for a walk outside."

"it is good."

After tidying up a bit, Tang Chao took her to a picturesque garden lawn for afternoon tea.

Blue skies and white clouds, soaring birds, blooming flowers, and lush greenery—it's like being in a natural oxygen bar.

Lanling was relaxed, leisurely drinking milk tea and eating snacks, while Tang Chao sat to the side, occasionally fiddling with his phone.

"Are you busy with work?" Lanling asked casually, noticing that he seemed quite busy.

"No, Xiao He said he'd treat us to dinner when we get back to the capital," Tang Chao said calmly, putting away his two phones.

Lanling smiled and said with a sigh, "I never thought Qibao would like someone like Xiao He."

Thinking of her ally Ye Lin, Lanling sighed softly, "Wow, your two good brothers are really something, they've almost won over all my best friends."

Tang Chao wasn't sure if Wen Qi had told them that she and Xiao He had registered their marriage, but it seemed that Xiao He had made great progress recently, and had even won Wen Qi's heart.

As for Ye Lin, she didn't know what he was thinking. It seemed necessary to ask him sometime to avoid affecting her relationship with Lan Ling.

"You're very capable too." Tang Chao looked down at Lanling, a smile in his eyes.

Lanling understood immediately, nodded confidently, and replied with a smile, "That's true, hehe."

The two didn't seem like a couple on their first date; they were more like close friends who could talk about anything. No matter what Lanling said, Tang Chao could always respond to her immediately.

Around 5 p.m., a Jay Chou-themed concert was held on the lawn. The lead singer was great, and the atmosphere was fantastic.

As the lights came on, the atmosphere became even more ambiguous, love as fiery as a rose, and romance as rich as poetry.

It was supposed to be dinner time, but Lanling insisted on humming along, and it wasn't until six o'clock that Tang Chao finally dragged her back to her courtyard.

Before even entering the courtyard, Lanling noticed that the courtyard at night had a more mysterious feel compared to the daytime, making it completely different from the surrounding courtyards.

Sure enough, upon opening the door, one could see the illuminated courtyard lights and eye-catching moon lights on the lawn, with small lanterns hanging all over the fence.

The daytime camping tables have disappeared, replaced by starry sky tents lit up with colorful lights, surrounded by flowers and balloons. The tents are drawn with curtains, obscuring the inside, creating an overwhelming sense of privacy and security.

"Wow, this is like a Miyazaki Hayao fairytale courtyard! When did you have it prepared?"

Lanling was no fool; she immediately realized that this was all arranged by the Tang Dynasty. Her excitement was evident on her face, her cheeks flushed, and her eyes sparkled like stars, as if a powerful force was surging within her.

"last night."

Tang Chao put his arm around her shoulder and led her toward the tent: "Let's go, we'll have a barbecue tonight, and we'll also have your favorite beef hot pot."

That's right, Tang Chao learned about beef hot pot after asking Wen Qi.

Lanling loved his little romantic gestures and turned to look at him, her eyes full of joy.

Suddenly, a mischievous smile appeared on her lips. She stood on tiptoe and casually placed her hands on Tang Chao's shoulders.

She tilted her head, gave his sexy jawline a hard kiss, and said in a soft, sweet voice, "Thank you, Brother A-Chao, for the little surprise you prepared for me."

Tang Chao was completely taken aback by Lanling's address of "Brother A-Chao," and a strong possessive desire arose within him instantly.

He pulled her closer to him, his voice carrying a seductive undertone: "What did you call me? Say it again, okay?"

Lanling easily pushed him away and jogged towards the tent, her voice soft, flirtatious, and coquettish as she said, "Hmph, I won't call you that, I won't call you that, doesn't the princess have any dignity?"

Without any warning, she pulled back the tent flap, revealing a huge bouquet of Freudian red roses, estimated to be ninety-nine in total. Under the ambient lighting, it looked exceptionally dazzling, elevating the overall sense of luxury!

Lanling's eyes widened like copper bells, her face filled with astonishment, as if time had stood still for a moment.

Seeing that she looked completely stunned, Tang Chao quickly went over, pulled her into his arms, and gently stroked her hair.

After she came to her senses, Tang Chao looked at her with a serious expression, his eyes fixed on her, his thoughts surging like a spring, his voice even tinged with a sob: "I love you, more firmly than anything else. Lanling, will you be my girlfriend?"

The unexpected confession left Lanling stunned, as if struck by lightning.

Her mind went blank, with only Tang Chao's voice echoing in her ears. It all happened so suddenly; she was completely unprepared.

She thought they had gotten together in a daze last night, but she never expected that Tang Chao would formally confess his love to her today, giving her a sense of ceremony and preparing such a big surprise.

Lanling looked at Tang Chao, her eyes sparkling with emotion and happiness, and nodded resolutely: "Yes, okay."

Hearing her affirmative answer, Tang Chao was overjoyed. The two pressed their bodies together, their faces very close. He could even clearly see the fine downy hairs on her face and smell her faint fragrance.

Their breaths became hot, and words were superfluous. Tang Chao slowly leaned closer, and their four lips pressed together without any hesitation.
