1444 Who Else Would I Propose To?

“Do you understand? You’re my husband from now on! Do you know how to be a husband?” the little girl said as she crossed her arms.

“How to be a husband?” the teenager repeated with a smile on his face.

“Firstly, you have to prepare many beautiful flowers. You need to fill the backyard with those flowers! Then you must kneel down and ask, would you marry me?”

“Where did you hear or see this from?”

“I saw this on TV! They said this is how it’s meant to be done! They wouldn’t lie to me!”

“Oh? So that’s how it is,” the teenager replied.

As she looked at the garden in front of her, Long Yuetian remembered the show that was airing on the morning of her fifth birthday. She assumed that every marriage proposal was meant to be the exact same as how the male protagonist proposed to the female protagonist.

And thus, she asked her “future husband” to do the same.

And the “husband” she found on her fifth birthday was Zhai Zhongshen.

As Long Yuetian looked at the garden and recalled what she did in the past, Zhai Zhongshen appeared behind her at some point.

Long Yuetian did not dare to ask if the garden was related to her. If she was wrong, it would be incredibly embarrassing. She did not want to make a fool of herself again.

“Do you like it?” Zhai Zhongshen asked.

“Huh?” Long Yuetian exclaimed. “Aren’t you... Planning to propose?”

“Yeah, I’m preparing for it,” Zhai Zhongshen replied.

“Then... I... How...”

“I’m willing to propose now if you’re going to say yes.”

“Huh?” Long Yuetian said as her brain short-circuited.

“Did Yiling not tell you I was planning to propose to you?”

Upon hearing this, Long Yuetian completely froze.

It took her a while to comprehend Zhai Zhongshen’s words.

The Second Master of the Zhai family was going to propose to her?!

“Did you forget about our marriage agreement?”

“I didn’t... Forget...” Long Yuetian started.

“Then who else did you think I would propose to?”

“I...” Long Yuetian began again before she froze. After a moment, she asked: “Did you prepare these because of our marriage agreement?”

“I don’t have marriage agreements with everyone. It depends on the person. Or do you think I’m just a shameless bastard or the scum of the world?”

“No... I just find it to believe that you are... Into me.”

“Yep, I am. It’s the possessive feeling a man has for a woman,” Zhai Zhongshen replied bluntly.

How could he say such words with a serious expression on his face?

To prove what he said was true, Zhai Zhongshen walked up and embraced Long Yuetian. In his embrace, Long Yuetian could feel her attraction to him and she could also feel the throbbing heat from his body.

Zhai Yunsheng and Jian Yiling moved into the Xie family manor.

Inside a classical room, Jian Yiling placed her son on the bed and played around with him.

Little Zeze stared at his mother with round deer-like eyes and the look on his face was especially cute.

Jian Yiling reached out and gently poked his cheeks.

When Zhai Yunsheng finished handling his work, he entered the room and told Jian Yiling what was happening in China.

“My uncle has already handled the people from the Nine Dragons Association in China.”

“So quickly?” Jian Yiling said with a surprised expression on her face. She expected this to take a while longer.

“Well, they made him angry.”

“But there are eight reclusive families in the Nine Dragons Association. Did Uncle Zhai deal with all of them?”

In Jian Yiling’s understanding and perception, the Nine Dragons Association was not to be underestimated and difficult to deal with.

“Yep, he took care of all of them.”

Then, Zhai Yunsheng added: “He also proposed.”

“Then I have to call Yuetian auntie from now on. And Little Zeze will have to call her grand-aunt. Originally, Yuetian wanted to be Little Zeze’s godmother.”
