Chapter 1410: Chapter 1414: Proposal
“Ah,” Mi Sheng sighed, “your aunt and uncle’s death put an end to everything; your family has suffered a lot.”
Situ Jinse chuckled helplessly as she shook her head, “Let’s drop it, no more talk about that.”
She reached out to touch Mi Sheng’s belly, “How do you feel? Any food aversions?”
“Not at all,” Mi Sheng smiled with extreme happiness, “I have a better appetite than before, everything tastes delicious, I don’t have any aversions at all. I’m sure I’m going to gain weight.”
“It’s okay to gain a little weight; anything is worth it for the baby!” Situ Jinse warned her, “You’re not allowed to diet. If you eat a lot, the baby will grow strong, and it will be easier to take care after birth.”
“I know!” Mi Sheng affectionately linked arms with her and playfully scolded, “You’re such a nanny!”
Situ Jinse tapped her forehead, “There are no female elders in your family, and my mom specifically asked me to remind you! My mom also said that when you give birth, she will come to take care of your confinement period.”
“There’s no need,” Mi Sheng glanced at Qiao Zui, smiling sweetly and happily, “The instructor has already started looking into postnatal care centers, saying he wants to hire the best maternity matron and childcare teacher for our baby.”
Situ Jinse couldn’t help but embrace her, “Xiao Mi, your hardship has turned to sweetness!”
“Mm!” Mi Sheng nodded with a smile, “I feel the same!”
The two of them actually met quite often, and even if they didn’t see each other for a few days, they would catch up over the phone every other day. But whenever they got together, they still had endless topics to talk about.
The men talked about current affairs, politics, and economics.
The two of them, along with Ye Xingbei and Mrs. Situ, would chat about beauty, health, and babies, enjoying their time together.
Soon, more than half an hour passed, and the kitchen had the banquet prepared.
Situ Xu ushered everyone into the living room to take their seats, with guests and hosts properly placed.
Throughout the meal, everyone was toasting and chatting cheerfully, the atmosphere harmonious.
Midway through the meal, Situ Liunian suddenly stood up, walked over to Situ Jinse, and took her hand, “Xiao Jin, come here, I have something to tell you.”
Situ Jinse stood up confusedly and followed him to the center of the living room.
The living room and dining room of the Situ family were connected, separated only by a half-height partition, so their every move could be clearly seen by the people still seated in the dining room.
Situ Liunian led Situ Jinse to the center of the living room, holding her left hand with his right while kneeling on one knee, and offered a ring to her, “Jinse, I love you… I love you so much! I want you to be my wife. For the rest of my life, whether in poverty or wealth, in sickness or in health, I will always be with you and never leave your side… Jinse, will you marry me?”
Situ Jinse was stunned.
She looked down at Situ Liunian.
He looked up at her with a gentle gaze that was usually calm and wise—now filled with focus, seriousness, and anticipation.
Situ Jinse didn’t expect Situ Liunian to suddenly propose to her, and her mind became a whirlwind of thoughts.
She instinctively looked towards her parents.
Situ Xu and his wife Du Rulan looked at them with smiles, their eyes full of relief, expectation, and encouragement.
Situ Jinse understood in an instant.
Her parents were aware of it.
Situ Liunian had not deceived her; her parents supported their being together.
If even her parents wished for them to be together, then she had nothing to worry about.
She quickly regained her composure and nodded at the diamond ring in Situ Liunian’s hand, “Yes, I will!”
Almost apprehensively, a look of joy suddenly burst from Situ Liunian’s eyes, and quickly, as if afraid that Situ Jinse would change her mind, he slid the ring onto her finger and then kissed it gently.
