Lin Xuan didn't go to Shangqing University; instead, he went to a shopping mall.
He also invited Wang Dahe to come along.
Wang Dahe asked curiously, "Xuan, what are you here to buy?"
Lin Xuan replied, "An engagement ring."
Wang Dahe looked pleasantly surprised. "Xuan, are you going to propose?"
"That's right," Lin Xuan nodded.
He had wanted to marry Hua for a long time.
However, Hua had been worried about his safety, so she probably didn't want such a high-profile wedding.
Now that the Su Sheng issue was resolved, their marriage plans could finally be put on the agenda.
"I can't believe you're going to propose to President Su," Wang Dahe said, his face full of excitement. "This is great, Xuan! You're going to be the husband of the richest woman in all of Daxia!"
"Xuan, make sure you don't forget your good bro."
Lin Xuan glanced at him. "When have I ever left you out when good things happen?"
"That's true," Wang Dahe scratched his head.
By relying on Xuan, he had gone from an ordinary person to someone with a bit of wealth.
It was perfectly fine for his good brother to live off a rich woman.
As he always said: his good brother lives off a rich woman, and he lives off his good brother. It was simply too perfect!
Lin Xuan bought a pair of rings.
The pair of rings was worth thirty million.
"Xuan," Wang Dahe paused his steps and said, "Do you think President Su might also be plotting to propose to you right now?"
Lin Xuan stopped walking and frowned. "That's highly unlikely."
"Nothing is impossible," Wang Dahe chuckled. "Xuan, President Su has always been a female version of a domineering CEO. When it comes to proposing, she might actually beat you to it."
Lin Xuan shook his head.
He didn't bother arguing with Wang Dahe.
He was already arranging the details for his proposal to Hua.
Hua had been working at the Su Group for the past few days. Even if she wanted to propose to him, she hadn't started preparing yet.
He would definitely beat her to the punch.
Lin Xuan then ran around buying a lot of tools, while Wang Dahe carried the bags for him.
Wang Dahe's hands and neck were covered with bags.
He asked bitterly, "Xuan, you have so many bodyguards around you. Why don't you have them carry this stuff?"
He had been dragged here to be a coolie.
"I can't call them," Lin Xuan shook his head and said. "I want to give Hua a surprise, and I'm worried they might let it slip."
"Hold on, Xuan. I'll call Luo Yuan over to help," Wang Dahe said.
"Sure."
Lin Xuan nodded.
And just like that, Luo Yuan also became Lin Xuan's coolie.
After buying everything, they headed to the hotel to start decorating.
What Lin Xuan didn't know was...
Back at Yeyuan, it was also a scene of bustling activity.
Although the servants were busy, every one of them looked extremely happy.
"This is wonderful! Young Master Lin and the Miss are finally going to tie the knot."
"Yes, yes, yes! I've been waiting for this day for a very, very long time."
"Sob, sob, sob. The couple I've been shipping is finally getting married."
The servants were full of energy.
They decorated every corner of Yeyuan.
Su Hua looked at everything around her, her red lips curving into a smile. Xuan would probably like this, right?
After doing a small fraction of the work, Wang Dahe and Luo Yuan sat down on the floor.
"I'm seriously exhausted. I didn't expect decorating a hotel to be this tiring. My whole body feels like I've been beaten up," Wang Dahe said, so tired he barely wanted to speak.
Luo Yuan nodded in agreement.
It was indeed very tiring.
He suddenly frowned and looked at Lin Xuan.
"Lin Xuan, you did the most work today. How are you still looking so energetic?" Luo Yuan asked with a sigh.
Lin Xuan replied, "I exercise regularly, so naturally, my stamina is a bit better than yours."
In order to win against Hua in bed, he frequently went into his spatial dimension to train.
He also drank all kinds of nourishing tonics.
How could his stamina not be good?
"You're amazing, Lin Xuan," Luo Yuan sighed. "You work, you exercise, and you lead students in research projects. You're an all-rounder."
Lin Xuan said lazily, "No, I don't want to strive anymore. Right now, I just want to have a child with Hua soon, raise him, and have him inherit my company."
"Since Hua and I are both so smart, he shouldn't be too bad either. Yeah, I'll push him to manage the company by his early teens."
By then, he could completely wash his hands of it and be a hands-off boss.
Wang Dahe and Luo Yuan exchanged a glance.
Xuan was an absolute devil.
In their hearts, they silently lit a candle for Lin Xuan and Su Hua's unborn child.
That kid would be playing on nightmare difficulty from the moment they were born.
Lin Xuan didn't rest at all and went back to decorating.
By half past four in the afternoon.
He, Luo Yuan, and Wang Dahe went to grab a meal before planning to head back.
"Wait, Xuan."
Wang Dahe pulled out a gift box from out of nowhere.
Luo Yuan also held one in his hand.
Lin Xuan frowned and asked in confusion, "What's this?"
Wang Dahe smiled and said, "Your gifts. It's your birthday today, did you forget?"
Lin Xuan frowned.
He suddenly realized why Hua hadn't gone to work today.
So today was his birthday.
After accepting the gifts, Lin Xuan felt a wave of cowardice as he prepared to go back.
The last time it was his birthday, Hua had dragged him into bed for two days and two nights straight.
Forget it.
He'd better go back a little later.
Lin Xuan dawdled outside for a long time, only returning at nine o'clock in the evening.
The villa was pitch black.
Lin Xuan's face was full of confusion.
Was Hua not home?
But that didn't make sense. Even if Hua wasn't home, the villa wouldn't be this dark.
With eyes full of doubt, Lin Xuan walked toward the villa.
He pushed open the door, and darkness swallowed him.
"Hua?"
Lin Xuan tried calling out.
But!
There was no response.
Lin Xuan felt as if something was waiting for him in the darkness.
He reached out to turn on the light.
Suddenly, a soft hand grabbed his.
Lin Xuan could tell it was Su Hua's hand.
"Xuan," Su Hua's gentle and beautiful voice sounded by his ear.
The woman's warm breath gently brushed against his ear.
"Come with me."
In the dark.
Su Hua covered Lin Xuan's eyes and led him step by step toward the center of the living room.
The servants were all busy lighting candles.
Su Hua stopped walking.
She removed her hands from Lin Xuan's eyes.
The scene in the living room was revealed to Lin Xuan.
Lin Xuan was stunned.
This, this is...
He looked at the heart-shaped sea of flowers in front of him.
And the lit candles, also arranged in a heart shape.
As well as the starry sky projected above, completely dumbfounded.
Could Hua be this romantic too?
