Chapter 1069: Xitelali wants to quit drinking
……
After Shao Yun discussed the purchase of seeds with Ou Luolun, Ou Luolun prepared to leave.
He also had to go home to take care of the vegetables and honey bees in the fields, so he couldn't stay at Xitlal's house for long.
"Then I'll go back first, Grandma, Mr. Shao Yun, and Grandma Shen He." Ou Luolun waved to the three of them and left in a hurry.
After O'Loren left, Xitlal looked at the two large bags of vegetables that she had asked him to put at the door, and said to Shao Yun and Shen He:
"Wait a minute, I'll put the vegetables in the refrigerator and then prepare some juice for you!"
Seeing this, Shao Yun wanted to step forward to lend a hand, after all, the two large bags of vegetables looked heavy.
But Sitrali waved her hand, bent down defiantly, dragged two large bags of vegetables to the kitchen, and muttered to herself.
"I can do this myself, no need for help."
While Xitlal was sorting the vegetables sent by Olorun into the fuel refrigerator made by Sinoning in the kitchen, only Shen He and Shao Yun, holding the child, were left in the living room.
Shao Yun felt that this was a good opportunity. He wanted to discuss something very important to him with Shen He.
He tiptoed to Shen He, who was sitting on the sofa in Xitlalli's living room, and said in a low voice, "Shen He, I want to discuss something with you."
Shen He raised his head, looked at Shao Yun who looked serious, and asked softly, "What's the matter?"
Shao Yun glanced towards the kitchen and saw that Xitlari was still busy, so he probably didn't eavesdrop. So he gained some courage and said to Shen He, "After the house is built, I plan to propose to Ying..."
When Shen He heard that Shao Yun was going to propose to Ying, he subconsciously looked down at the baby sleeping soundly in his arms, his eyes full of confusion.
No, aren't you two already married and have kids?
She asked with confusion in her mind, "Propose? I thought you and Ying were already married."
Shao Yun scratched his cheek and explained why he wanted to propose to Ying.
"No, the main reason is that Ying and I didn't have a wedding. We've been traveling all the time, and now we're about to settle down in Nata, so I want to make up for it."
Then, he looked at the fruit of his and Ying's love in Shen He's arms and said with longing:
"After all, marriage is such an important matter, we can't just let it go like this. Now that my conditions are better, I have my own family and can live a stable life, I don't want to leave any regrets for Ying."
Then, Shao Yun carefully took out a small box from his pocket. When he opened it, he found the ring that Xinoning had made for him.
This pure gold ring, with a pale red gem inlaid on the ring setting, emits a soft luster under the light of the living room.
Looking at the ring, Shao Yun's face was filled with joy.
"I've even prepared the ring. Look, doesn't it look good?"
Shen He looked at the ring in Shao Yun's hand, nodded ignorantly, and praised: "I didn't expect that Mr. Shao Yun, you are quite romantic."
Shao Yun scratched his head, licked his lips, and said self-deprecatingly, a little embarrassedly: "Haha, this is one of the few serious things I can do besides murder and robbery."
When Shen He heard Shao Yun say the words "murder and robbery", his eyes were suddenly filled with confusion, and he asked in confusion: "Huh?"
She really couldn't imagine why Shao Yun would say such a thing.
Seeing this, Shao Yun quickly waved his hand and changed the subject:
"Nothing, I just said it casually."
"I'm telling you this because after the wedding, I want to take Ying on a honeymoon. So, you might have to help take care of the child, Paimeng, and Xiaolong by yourself..."
Halfway through his words, Shao Yun suddenly slapped his forehead, feeling something was wrong. He seemed to have forgotten someone important.
"However, by that time, my eldest brother-in-law should have finished his work, and he should be able to come and help take care of you, so you can relax a little."
In short, Shao Yun plans to propose to Ying, hold a wedding, and then go on a honeymoon. During this time, he hopes that Shen He can be mentally prepared and take good care of his daughter.
After listening to Shao Yun's words, Shen He looked down at the well-behaved baby in his arms, a gentle smile appeared on his face, and he agreed without hesitation.
"No problem, I love taking care of babies! Then, you and Ying can enjoy your honeymoon with peace of mind. I'll be looking after the house, and I guarantee nothing will go wrong!"
Shao Yun saw Shen He agreed so readily, and a big stone in his heart finally fell to the ground. He nodded with satisfaction, and then reminded him seriously:
"There's one more thing. I'm going to propose to Ying. You must keep it a secret. I hope to give Ying a big surprise."
When Shen He heard that he had to keep it secret, he nodded like a chick pecking at rice and said seriously, "No problem, I will keep it a secret! I will never reveal a single word to anyone, so don't worry."
After getting Shen He's assurance, Shao Yun reached out and gently patted Shen He's shoulder.
He knew that taking care of a child was a very hard job, and Shen He would definitely be exhausted during the time he and Ying were on their honeymoon.
"I'm really going to trouble you then. Raising a child is hard work, and I know that very well. So, is there anything you want? As long as I can do it, I will definitely satisfy you. Just consider it my little compensation to you."
Shen He shook his head, a gentle smile on his face.
"Don't be polite. We are a family! We should help each other. Why do we need any compensation?"
Shao Yun looked at Shen He's sincere eyes and didn't know how to thank her for a moment. He could only say from the bottom of his heart: "Thank you... Shen He, you are my family."
At this moment, Xitlari, who had put the vegetables into the refrigerator at some point, had actually been standing quietly at the kitchen door with a few glasses of juice, and heard everything Shao Yun and Shen He were talking about.
She was holding a glass of juice, with a look of joy on her face, as if she had discovered a new world. She walked quickly in front of the two of them, raised her eyebrows and said:
"I think I heard something incredible! A proposal? A honeymoon? Mr. Shao Yun, you're really keeping it a secret!"
When Shao Yun heard Xitlalli's surprised voice behind him, as if she had discovered a treasure, his body stiffened instantly and his heart skipped a beat.
He slapped his forehead in annoyance and muttered to himself: Damn it, I should have talked to Shen He about this later. It was so careless to loudly plot such a private matter in someone else's house!
Xitlari looked at Shao Yun who turned around and showed obvious disgust towards her on his face, and she immediately became unhappy.
After she placed the juice on the table, she put her hands on her hips and said dissatisfiedly, "Hey, why do you look at me like you dislike me?"
Shao Yun rolled his eyes at Xitlari, and became furious when he thought of what happened before, and started to settle old scores quickly.
"How dare you say that? When you're drunk, you lose control of your mouth. Last time, you spread rumors about my wife and child being kidnapped..."
He became increasingly excited as he spoke, his tone becoming more serious. "With your chatterbox, within three days, everyone in Nata will know that I'm proposing to Ying! How much of a surprise will there be then?"
When Xitelali heard Shao Yun's exaggerated description, she immediately corrected him unconvincedly:
"What do you mean everyone in Nata knows about it? Last time I only told Malani, Chaska, Kinichi, and Kuike, but I didn't tell anyone else!"
She paused, then muttered softly, "Besides, I promise I won't tell anyone this time. I'm very sensible..."
Shao Yun obviously didn't believe her promise. Seeing that Xitlari was still being stubborn, he rolled his eyes and decided to deal with her in a different way.
He deliberately lowered his voice, a sinister expression on his face, and said with a hint of cruelty in his tone: "How about I tie you up for the next few months? Lock you up somewhere where no one can find you? That way you won't let my proposal slip..."
As he spoke, he took a step forward, his eyes fixed on Sitrali, as if he was about to attack her in the next second.
Xitlari was startled by Shao Yun's sudden momentum and subconsciously took a half step back, waving her hands in panic and saying in a panic:
"Hey! What do you mean by looking at me like that? I'm definitely going to keep this a secret! Don't mess around!"
She looked at the sinister expression on Shao Yun's face, and her heart was filled with fear. Finally, she simply crossed her arms in front of her, looking pale, and asked Shen He for help:
"No! Sister Shen He, help! Shao Yun is trying to kidnap me!"
Shao Yun looked at Xitlalli, who was almost frightened by him, and finally couldn't help laughing. He restrained the gloomy expression on his face, waved his hand and said:
"I was just trying to scare you, why did you take it so seriously? Look at how little you can do."
Although he was trying to scare Xitlari, Shao Yun still warned her seriously, "But seriously, if you dare to leak the news before I propose to Ying..."
At this point, Shao Yun suddenly revealed a sly smile, and said with a somewhat "malicious" tone: "I'll discuss it with Mavica and ask her to never let you drink alcohol! And also not let you read light novels!"
When Xitrali heard about this punishment, she jumped up in fear like a cat whose tail was stepped on, her face full of horror, and she begged for mercy repeatedly:
"No, you might as well kill me! Not allowing me to drink and read light novels is worse than death!"
Immediately afterwards, Sitrali made a locking gesture in front of her mouth, pretended to turn the key, and solemnly promised:
"Don't worry, don't worry! I'll keep my mouth shut. Even if Mavica asks, I won't say a word!"
Seeing Xitlari's awareness, Shao Yun knew she really took the matter to heart, so he nodded in satisfaction and said, "It's good that you understand. Don't let anything go wrong later."
Seeing that Shao Yun was no longer "angry", Xitlari's face instantly disappeared with fear, replaced by excitement. She rubbed her hands excitedly, walked quickly to Shao Yun, and said with sparkling eyes:
"By the way, do you want me to give you some advice on proposing? I guarantee Miss Ying will be so surprised that she'll scream!"
Then, Sitrali patted her chest and confidently assured, "Thanks to all the light novels I've read, I know a lot about all kinds of romantic proposals! I can definitely arrange it for you clearly!"
When Shao Yun heard that Xitlari had learned the marriage proposal knowledge from light novels, the corners of his mouth twitched and he felt that it was very unreliable.
"I doubt it. I've already made plans. After the proposal and the wedding at the ranch, I'll take Ying on a honeymoon at Flowing Springs. It'll be simple and heartwarming."
When Xitlari heard Shao Yun's brief proposal process, she immediately showed a look of disgust and shook her head and said:
"This is way too drab! You're the true hero who saved Nata! How can a proposal, such a lifelong event, be so simple? It should at least be a little more grand!"
She became more and more excited as she spoke and began to daydream.
"At least have a Velvet Pterosaur pull a banner announcing your and Ying's marriage and parade it around Nata, letting everyone know your happy news! At the wedding, have a Ceratopsian pull the wedding car, taking Ying all the way from the Sacred Flame Arena to your ranch. How grand!"
"Finally, let's set off a massive fireworks display over the ranch, letting all of Nata cheer and celebrate for you. It's the perfect time for everyone to have fun together! That's what befits your status as a great hero!"
After saying this, Xitlal looked at Shao Yun expectantly, waiting for his approval.
After hearing Xitlalli's description of the grand wedding scene, Shao Yun curled his lips and said mercilessly, "Forget it. There's no benefit in letting everyone know about it."
"Ying and I just want to have a quiet wedding. There's no need to make such a big fuss."
After saying this, he felt that his words were a bit arbitrary. After all, the wedding was Ying's business, and he couldn't just follow his own ideas. So he gave in and said:
"No, I can't make the final decision on this matter alone. I'll discuss it with Ying after I propose and see what she thinks. There's no rush to make a decision now."
Seeing that Shao Yun wanted to discuss things with Ying, Xitela knew that as an outsider, it was not appropriate for her to get involved too much, so she no longer insisted on her exaggerated plan and asked the next best thing:
"When you propose, can I help you create a romantic atmosphere? Is that okay?"
Shao Yun considered the key word in Xitela's words, "romantic atmosphere," and repeated uncertainly, "Romantic atmosphere?"
Sitrali nodded heavily and began to brag about herself.
"Yeah, girls just like romantic scenes. I understand that too well!"
"I've read no less than three hundred of Yaedo's exquisite romance novels. I'm familiar with all the romantic proposal routines in them. I'm completely familiar with the proposal process!"
When Shao Yun heard that Xitlari's impression of romance came from those romance novels, he immediately lost his expectations.
He didn't want his proposal to turn into a melodramatic and exaggerated scene like in Inazuma's light novel, so he declined without any hope:
"Come on, you'd better take a rest. Don't worry about romance. I have my own plans."
When Xitlari heard that Shao Yun didn't even give her a chance to create a romantic atmosphere, she immediately became unhappy. Her mouth was so pouty that a grease bottle could be hung on it, and she muttered softly:
"My kindness is taken for granted. My experience is all the essence I learned from books. I don't tell ordinary people about it..."
……
Seeing that Shao Yun was unmoved and refused to let her participate in the proposal plan no matter what she said, Xitlari stomped her feet in anger and asked the next best thing:
"So, you're going to hold the wedding at the ranch? Will there be a banquet?"
When Shao Yun heard about the wedding banquet, he nodded affirmatively. This thing must be done. At that time, everyone should be invited to have a lively party, eat some cake, drink some wine, etc. It would be appropriate.
Then, he looked at Xitlari and teased her deliberately, "Of course I will. What's the matter? You want to be the head chef and show us your skills?"
Xitlari immediately shook her head like a rattle, and said proudly, "What are you thinking about? Grandma, I only know how to eat, not cook those troublesome things!"
Then, a hint of anticipation flashed in her eyes. She stuck out her tongue and licked her lips. She smiled and leaned closer to Shao Yun and asked, "Well, there should be enough wine and other things, right?"
When Shao Yun saw Xitlari's drunkard look, he couldn't help but smile. He had already made a plan in mind, so he agreed, but with some conditions.
"Okay, there will be plenty of wine and drinks for you to enjoy. But the premise is that you can't reveal the secret that I want to propose to Ying. If you mess it up, don't even think about drinking a drop of wine!"
When Xitrali heard the words "plenty of drinks," her eyes lit up instantly. She was so excited that she almost jumped up and cheered:
"Oh yeah!!! Don't worry, before your wedding, I'll quit drinking! I won't drink a drop at all. I promise I'll keep this secret to myself!"
Shao Yun looked at Xitlari's appearance and shook his head helplessly, hoping that she could do what she said this time.
