"Therefore, the moment I came back to B City and got off the plane, I went to a jewelry store and bought this ring," Jiang Huaizhou said, "At that time, I decided that if you came back and agreed to be in a relationship with me, I would ask you to marry me."

"What if I didn't agree?" Dong Yujie couldn't help but ask.

"If you didn't agree to be with me, I will try to convince you first. And then, I will ask you to marry me once you're convinced," Jiang Huaizhou said.

"You were certain that I would agree to be your girlfriend? You knew that I like you, right?" The corner of Dong Yujie's mouth curved up uncontrollably.

Mrs. Dong, who was watching from the side, was feeling worried.

This kid should have allowed Jiang Huaizhou to get up first. Jiang Huaizhou shouldn't be kneeling.

Jiang Huaizhou had his back facing Mrs. Dong, so he couldn't see her facial expression.

Mrs. Dong stood behind Jiang Huaizhou, and she kept giving Dong Yujie a look.

She was urging Dong Yujie to give an answer.

Mrs. Dong had raised Jiang Huaizhou as her son for many years.

She felt bad for him.

Dong Yujie had completely forgotten about this.

And after being reminded by Mrs. Dong, Dong Yujie quickly said, "I.. I do."

She let out a sigh of relief and said, "Let's get married."

Jiang Huaizhou laughed out loud and quickly took out the ring and wore it on Dong Yujie's finger.

"How is it a perfect fit?" Dong Yujie asked in surprise.

"I already told you that we know each other very well," Jiang Huaizhou said, "What else do I not know about you?"

Mrs. Dong didn't expect Jiang Huaizhou to do things in such an efficient manner.

Dong Yujie had just returned, but Jiang Huaizhou immediately asked Dong Yujie to marry him.

"When do you two plan to register your marriage certificate?" Mrs. Dong asked.

Since Dong Yujie was already wearing the ring and they had both decided to get married, the registration of their marriage should happen soon.

"I discussed this with Yujie. We will visit dad." Jiang Huaizhou said, "No matter what, I have to tell Dad."

"In addition, Dad felt guilty when Yujie left. He will feel more at ease if he sees Yujie," Jiang Huaizhou said.

"Actually, Dad isn't bothered by our relationship anymore."

"I know." Mrs. Dong nodded and said, "Since he had agreed to get a divorce, I knew that he didn't care if you two got together. If not, he wouldn't have agreed so quickly."

"Your dad is just old-fashioned. He's a good guy. When Yujie left, he regretted it. And he felt bad about it. He is now trying to make amends in his own way."

Mrs. Dong could tell that Dong Yujie was feeling nervous about the visitation. She then said, "You don't have to feel nervous when you see him tomorrow. He regrets what happened back then, and he won't stop you two.""But it is going to be hard for Dad not to care about his reputation, so he could still appear angry when he sees you guys, but don't take it to heart," Mrs. Dong said.

"I think he will just be quiet. As long as he doesn't say anything against it, it will be fine." Mrs. Dong said, "Just take it slow."

Dong Yujie nodded and said, "I know."

"It's not early anymore. I'm going to sleep. You two should sleep early. It shouldn't matter for Yujie. But Huaizhou, don't you have to go to work tomorrow?" Mrs. Dong said.

"I will sleep after I'm done talking to Yujie," Jiang Huaizhou said.

Mrs. Dong didn't respond. She didn't say that she was going to stay and watch them just in case they would do something over the line.

They were already adults. What lines could there be?

They could do whatever they want.

However, Mrs. Dong believed that nothing would happen between Jiang Huaizhou and Dong Yujie.

They were kids who knew boundaries. Even if they couldn't help it, they wouldn't do it while she was still at home.

And so, Mrs. Dong felt reassured as she went back to her room.

Jiang Huaizhou and Dong Yujie had no plans of doing anything. They just wanted to chat.

To the both of them, a day of spending time together wasn't enough.

Jiang Huaizhou wanted to listen to Dong Yujie talk about the many things that had happened in the past year.

Dong Yujie was also curious about how Jiang Huaizhou managed to establish a successful business.

The two continued talking, and time passed by unknowingly.

When they came back to their senses, it was already 12 am.

"Go sleep. You still need to work tomorrow." Dong Yujie urged.

After losing the business deal with the Qu Family, Jiang Huaizhou had to deal with a lot of things.

The Qu Family would also make things difficult for him.

Qu Mengyu was clearly a petty person.

The two went back to their own rooms, which were opposite each other.

The two stood in front of each other's bedrooms.

Dong Yujie lifted her hand and waved at Jiang Huaizhou while saying, "Goodnight."

Jiang Huaizhou stared at Dong Yujie, who was right in front of him. Suddenly, he made a step forward.

Then, he stepped right before her.

Dong Yujie felt her heart in her mouth as she subconsciously held her breath.action

Jiang Huaizhou lowered his head and gave her a kiss on the lips."Goodnight."

He finally got to kiss the person he had spent days and nights thinking about.

Jiang Huaizhou finally felt reassured.

"This feels real to me now. We are finally together," Jiang Huaizhou said.

At this moment, his heart was beating really fast.

He endured again and again in the past. He didn't dare to cross the line.

However, he still had to suffer.

And now, he no longer had to endure. Jiang Huaizhou felt like his life was complete.

Dong Yujie felt her heart beating really fast.

So this was how it felt to be with someone you liked.

When he came closer, she felt so nervous that she felt like she wasn't herself.

She couldn't even form a complete sentence.

The moment he touched her, she felt happy, nervous, excited, and scared.

When these emotions mixed together, they became so complicated.

"Let me watch you go into your room." Jiang Huaizhou said.

Dong Yujie felt even more reluctant to be away from him.

But she forced herself to say, "Okay."

With this, she opened the door slowly.

Then, she stepped into her room without closing the door.

She grabbed the edges of the door with both of her hands and said, "I want to see you go inside your room, too."

The two became rather childish. However, they didn't know about it, and they thought it was quite sweet.

Jiang Huaizhou couldn't help but smile. He looked at her intensely, reluctant to look away.

"Alright." Jiang Huaizhou looked at her and moved backward.

He touched the door behind him. Then, he moved his hand behind and found the door handle, opening the door.

Dong Yujie blushed. Jiang Huaizhou's reaction made her feel so embarrassed of herself, and her face burned as a result.

Jiang Huaizhou did what Dong Yujie was doing. He stepped into his room but kept the door open.

The two kept the door open and looked at each other from afar.

"Why don't…" Jiang Huaizhou thought about it and said, "Why don't we just keep our doors opened?"

"Eh?" Dong Yujie said in surprise.

"We would be able to see each other in our bedrooms through the door."

"It's late now, but during an earlier time in the future…" Jiang Huaizhou pointed behind him.

In the room, there was a small round table facing the doorway.
