He let out a deep breath.
"Nuannuan is a silly girl. If she does something wrong in the future, just tell me and don't argue with her. She has chosen you, so you must treat her well."
Such simple words, spoken with great sincerity, moving anyone who heard them, addressing his future son-in-law with utmost humility.
"Don't worry, Father. I will. Thank you."
Xu Musen bowed to him.
There was no need for many words between men. An Shanhai finally smiled and patted Xu Musen on the shoulder.
"From now on, calling me Dad won't be a loss for you."
Xu Musen looked up at An Shanhai's smile and, without much hesitation, smiled and said, "Dad!"
An Shanhai felt a momentary wave of emotion. Having never had a son had always been a regret for him. Now, this regret was somewhat compensated.
He smiled, patted Xu Musen on the shoulder, took a step back, and looked at An Nuannuan's room. "Go on, Nuannuan has been waiting for you for a long time."
With that, he turned around, nodded at Zhou Hangyu and the others, went downstairs, and started chatting with Father Xu and Mother Xu in the living room.
Xu Musen looked at An Nuannuan's door. Although he had been here many times, this time his hand on the doorknob felt a bit flustered.
Because this time, opening the door meant their identities truly changed.
He took a deep breath, and Zhou Hangyu and the others gathered around, eager to witness this moment.
"Click…"
The door opened.
That unique faint fragrance belonging to An Nuannuan wafted out through the door, the breeze brought it along, the sunshine poured in, as if the heavens had cast a beam of light for this very moment.
Inside the room were Zhu Yulan and Zhao Lianmai, both dressed up meticulously today. One was an elegant young lady, the other a vibrant young girl.
Anywhere they stood, they were a stunning sight that drew eyes.
They also looked at Xu Musen, their eyes sparkling slightly. Today, Xu Musen was undeniably handsome, almost illegally so.
Zhu Yulan lightly pressed her lips together, finally showing a smile that only she knew the meaning of, and moved aside a bit.
Zhao Lianmai's gaze lingered on Xu Musen, her thoughts wandering to another person. She too stepped aside after a brief moment of daze.
As they moved, it seemed an even purer light shone from behind them, illuminating that pure white figure as if nestled among the clouds.
In this moment, the whole world seemed to quiet down.
In her white wedding dress, An Nuannuan sat quietly by the bed. The hem of her dress naturally draped down, fluttering gently with the breeze, like the white clouds in the sky.
She herself seemed to be radiating light, her white wedding dress unable to overshadow the whiteness of her skin, her stunning face blushing as though slightly intoxicated.
It wasn't blush, but the natural glow of a happy girl. She smiled, her bright teeth gleaming, her eyes reflecting light, making one feel as though swimming in the warmth of a summer day, so comforting and serene.
This was a girl waiting for her lover.
This was the most beautiful moment in a girl's life.
And also, Xu Musen's fiancee, Boss Nuannuan.
She looked at Xu Musen, smiling, a bit shy, her blush deepening, but the expectation in her eyes made her almost eager to leap into his arms.
Xu Musen slowly approached her, and at this moment, he genuinely felt a sense of disbelief.
Such a beautiful girl was truly his fiancée.
He took a deep breath, knelt down on one knee before her, and handed her the flowers in his hand. "Nuannuan, I'm here to take you."
Xu Musen, kneeling on one knee, formally dressed, holding flowers.
An Nuannuan, in her white wedding dress, flawless and perfect.
At this moment, it felt like a scene straight out of an anime.
An Nuannuan looked at Xu Musen, her blushing cheeks blooming with a smile, her eyes glittering with light. She took the flowers and nodded firmly. "Okay!"
"Kiss! Kiss! Kiss!"
Zhou Hangyu and the others started jeering impatiently.
Zhu Yulan and Zhao Lianmai felt this scene was too beautiful, honestly... not kissing would be unjustifiable.
An Nuannuan's face turned as red as blood, clutching the flowers. Although shy, her gaze sparkled as she looked at Xu Musen.
Xu Musen lowered his head, gently cupping An Nuannuan's cheeks, and kissed her forehead.
"Hey~ Boss Xu, give it a bit more force! Just a kiss on the face won't do!"
"Yeah, yeah, kiss again properly!"
The boys continued to jeer.
An Nuannuan's face grew even redder.
Xu Musen waved his hand at the boys. "Go away, stop causing a ruckus."
An Nuannuan might be naturally naive, but in reality, she was quite shy. Xu Musen had always thought so, especially since her family was standing right outside the door.
Xu Musen turned to look at the red-faced An Nuannuan, smiling as he gently said, "Nuannuan, don't listen to their silly..."
Before he finished, a gust of fragrant wind blew past, and An Nuannuan leaned forward, kissing him on the lips.
Xu Musen didn't react for a moment, so close was the distance, An Nuannuan's face blushing furiously, but her eyes were strikingly bright.
"We're already engaged. I'll kiss you whenever I want… after all, you're mine now, and there's no chance for you to back out."
An Nuannuan's words were soft, her face even redder, but the words were filled with pride and determination, giving the room a sweet and tangy aroma of love.
