Chapter 385 - 363: Proposing Marriage (1)
Last night was chaotic until midnight, yet Xiaoxiao woke up early in the morning. Her first reaction was to reach her hand out from under the covers to see the ring snugly fitting on her finger. Only then did she breathe a sigh of relief and smile, realizing it wasn’t a dream...She turned her head to look at her daughter lying in the crook of her arm. Suddenly, her heart felt full of something, and for a moment, she felt as if she had everything.
Thinking about what he said last night, Xiaoxiao couldn’t wait to get out of bed. While her daughter was still sleeping, she ran to An’an’s room and knocked on the door, "Sis!"
The door opened quickly, but standing there was Su Yan, fully dressed and holding a cane. "Little Uncle, is my sister awake?"
Su Yan answered softly, "Still asleep."
As he was speaking, An’an’s mumbling voice came from inside, "What’s going on? Last night was chaotic until early morning, and now you won’t let me sleep."
Xiaoxiao said to her, "Sis, come help me."
An’an reluctantly got out of bed and went to Xiaoxiao’s room. Standing in front of the vanity, she started putting makeup on Xiaoxiao, complaining as she did, "It’s just meeting a guy, can’t you be a little more composed?"
"Sis, stop teasing me."
"How did you two even meet?"
Looking at An’an in the mirror, Xiaoxiao replied, "He’s our sister-in-law’s brother. We met while hanging out with her."
"Then why is he only proposing now, after Yingying was born? Don’t tell me he didn’t know about Yingying’s existence. You might fool Grandma, but not me. You took care of him for a long time in the hospital, and you were pregnant during that time. There’s no way he didn’t know during your pregnancy. The child is his; he must be aware of his own actions."
"Sis, let’s not talk about the past, okay? It’s all over now."
"How did I end up with such an unambitious sister?"
Xiaoxiao sweetly complimented her, "How did I end up with such a beautiful and capable sister?"
An’an rolled her eyes at her, picked up a comb, and carefully brushed Xiaoxiao’s long hair before styling it into an updo.
Though she seemed unconcerned, An’an put more effort into Xiaoxiao’s appearance than Xiaoxiao did herself, even choosing her clothes.
When everything was done, An’an looked at Xiaoxiao in the mirror and said, "I was thinking of having you as my bridesmaid when I get married, but it looks like you’ll get married before me."
"We can get married together when the time comes?"
As soon as Xiaoxiao finished speaking, they heard the sound of a car approaching from outside. She immediately ran downstairs excitedly, "He must be here!"
An’an called after her, "Aren’t you going to wake Yingying?"
Xiaoxiao didn’t hear a thing, rushing downstairs in excitement.
An’an shook her head helplessly and muttered, "What a mother."
Downstairs, Grandma was having breakfast in the living room. Seeing Xiaoxiao running down, she glared at her and asked, "What’s the rush?"
Xiaoxiao paused, looking at Grandma’s leisurely demeanor, and deliberately asked, "Grandma... I just heard a car outside. Who’s here?"
Grandma roughly knew who it was but purposely put on an air. "Come sit down. It doesn’t matter who it is; if they want to find someone, they’ll come in themselves!"
Xiaoxiao understood from Grandma’s words that she had noticed but was pretending otherwise. She thought to herself, before, when her elder brother came home, Grandma would be at the door as soon as she heard the car. How come there’s no movement today?
Glancing worriedly at the door, she obediently sat down next to Grandma. Soon, a figure walked in...
