Chapter 195 - 195

Chapter 195 Proposal"How come you look so skilled? Have you been here many times?" Yun Ting was referring to his proficiency with the knife and fork."No, this is only the second time.""Tsk... I really couldn't tell."Duan Xingye smiled and asked, "Don't you think your partner is amazing?""Yes, that's right, keep it up!"It must be said that Yun Ting was very satisfied with the meal, especially the braised mutton and the creamy roasted mixed vegetables, which she thought were quite delicious.Duan Xingye originally planned to propose at the restaurant, but after looking around at the people, he didn't want to be watched, especially since Wan Huanhuan was also there.After the meal, the two left together. Wan Huanhuan stared at their retreating figures, her nails digging into her flesh." Huanhuan, what's wrong? What are you looking at?" the man who came with her asked with concern."nothing."The man in front of her was the son of her stepfather's friend. Both families hoped they could be together, but she had no interest whatsoever. Compared to Duan Xingye, this man was like heaven and earth.She was truly resentful, especially seeing how carefully Duan Xingye took care of that woman; she was filled with rage.A sinister glint flashed in the man's eyes, but he quickly reverted to his original honest and simple demeanor.Duan Xingye drove the car towards the park."Where are we going? I have class this afternoon.""There's enough time. I'll take you to school before class starts."Yun Ting had no idea what he was up to, but she'd find out soon enough.When we arrived, wasn't this the Temple of Heaven Park? Should I bring her to the park to play?In the park, the trees were lush and green, and birds sang merrily. Duan Xingye led Yun Ting to a relatively quiet corner, then suddenly stopped and looked intently at Yun Ting."I have something I want to tell you." Duan Xingye's voice was a little nervous as he took a small box out of his pocket.Yun Ting looked at him curiously, a hint of doubt in her eyes. Duan Xingye opened the box, inside was a simple plain gold ring, shimmering softly in the sunlight."I know this ring isn't very big or particularly beautiful. I'll get you a bigger one later when I have the chance. Xiaoyun, I'm honored to be your partner. I hope we can walk hand in hand through the days to come. Will you marry me? Although my job prevents me from being with you every day, I will do my best to be good to you, loyal to my country, loyal to you, and never let you down."After he finished speaking, he looked nervously at Yun Ting. Yun Ting smiled at him without saying anything. He suddenly remembered that he still had something in his pocket, so he quickly took out his bankbook and property certificate and handed them over."And this, my bankbook and property certificate, these are all my savings. I will give you all my salary from now on, you just need to give me a little pocket money."Yun Ting took the passbook, opened it, and wow, more than eight thousand yuan! It's amazing that someone who only receives subsidies can save so much money!"You're really leaving it to me? Aren't you afraid I'll squander it all?""Take it or leave it, use it as you like. If you run out, just earn more."Look how high their awareness is!The property certificate states it is a two-sectiontraditional courtyard residence, which he had mentioned to her before."Since you're so sincere, I'll agree.""real?""Do you hope it's fake?""Of course not, when? Can I submit my marriage application?" Duan Xingye couldn't hide his excitement."Okay, but the wedding will have to wait until my parents come over, so I'll be scheduled after my second brother!""Okay!" Although he was anxious, he didn't mind waiting a little longer now that he had received a positive answer.Yun Ting was genuinely happy; this man, so far, seemed to be behaving in a way that suited her.After spending some time in the park, Duan Xingye took the person back to school.I'll pick you up after school this afternoon."Aren't you going back to the military region today?""No rush, we have a car, we can go back later."In the evening, Yun Ting took Duan Xingye to buy groceries before returning to the courtyard together.Tao Cairi has returned and is preparing to cook, while talking to Yun Zhao.Yun Ting and her companion returned to the courtyard gate with the groceries when they heard their older brother's voice. Yun Ting raised an eyebrow and said, "Big brother, you're here so early today.""Little sister, you're back," Duan Xingye said as she followed Duan Xingye in. "Huh... Is Hoshino on vacation today?""Big brother..."" Older Female Cousin, is the rice in? Cook more.""This is just the beginning! We can still add more.""Big brother, how have you been lately? Everything going smoothly? Remember to let me know if you need any help!" Duan Xingye said while processing the fish in his hands.Yun Zhao was squatting down nearby, helping to pick vegetables."Everything is going smoothly. There's nothing I can help with for now, but if there is, I certainly won't hesitate to lend a hand.""Little sister, I've found a place, but it's about a half-hour bike ride from here.""Oh? How big? What's the situation?""You want to buy a house?""Yes, there's not enough room for my parents and sister-in-law to stay when they come over.""It's a courtyard with four rooms inside, and the kitchen is a small room. It's not very big, and the price is three thousand five.""Wow... these house prices are rising way too fast!""I've been inside the house and it's been cleaned up quite well. You can move in right away without any repairs.""Brother, what are your thoughts?""I plan to buy it. It's not far from the school, so it will be convenient for Little Girl and the others to go to school.""When are you going? I'll go with you and try to negotiate a lower price.""Tomorrow! Hehe~ That's what I meant. You're good at talking, so I'll have you go and help me negotiate a lower price.""By the way, Duan Xingye, Little Girl isn't a Capital City resident here. Will you be able to help her with her schooling?"Yun Ting suddenly thought of this question."This isn't a big problem; I'll take care of it when the time comes."The Duan Family has a wide network of connections; it only takes a word."Hoshino, if you need to do someone a favor later, just tell your older brother! I can't let you pay for it," Yun Zhao said immediately."Brother, we don't need these."Duan Xingye took on the task of cooking dinner.Yun Ting had tried his cooking and thought it was pretty good, so she let him cook it for her.Yun Zhao and Tao Cairi, on the other hand, looked suspicious and kept glancing into the kitchen."Don't worry, I've eaten his cooking before, it's pretty good."Yun Zhao was a little embarrassed. "Little sister, that's not what I meant. I was just curious that Hoshino can cook!""Of course you have to learn! Big brother, you should learn more too, so that Mom won't always have to cook for you. When Mom gets old, if neither you nor your sister-in-law can cook, you can't just eat noodles every day, can you?"Yun Zhao never expected that his doubts aboutDuan Xingye's cooking skills would drag him into this mess and get him a scolding from his younger sister."I will definitely learn...""Then what are you still standing here for? Go inside and study.""Okay!" Yun Zhao went into the kitchen dejectedly."Pfft... Cousin's like this is so funny." Tao Cairicouldn't help but laugh out loud.Yun Ting smiled; she just wanted her older brother to improve his cooking skills.How can a man not know how to cook?
