Chapter 310 I Do You Want to Marry You
Lu Nan looked up at him in disbelief, inwardly thinking: Such a narcissistic person, I've never seen anything like it. But he was right; the sunlight fell on his profile, highlighting his sharp, defined jawline—it was indeed striking. Couldn't he just be a little more humble?
She deliberately avoided the topic, her tone indifferent: "You've come to see Grandma?"
"Yes, I've come to see Grandma." Shen Qingnan nodded, his gaze falling on her feet. "I heard from Lili that you went back to school today, so I came to check on your injury."
Lu Nan subconsciously looked down at her ankle and whispered, "It's okay, I'm fine now."
"I'm not at ease. I need to see it for myself to feel at ease." Shen Qingnan's tone was firm, leaving her no room to refuse.
In the end, the two returned to Lu Nan's courtyard together.
This wasn't Shen Qingnan's first time here; he had come almost every few days to take care of her injuries.
As soon as they entered the room, Shen Qingnan pulled her to sit on a chair and reached out to take off her shoes.
Lu Nan quickly pressed his hand down, her cheeks flushing even more: "I can do it myself."
"Are you shy?" Shen Qingnan's smile deepened.
Lu Nan retorted, sticking her neck out: "Who's shy! It's just that men and women are different. If this were ancient times, if you looked at my feet like that, you would be marrying me."
Shen Qingnan answered almost without hesitation, her tone serious: "Okay."
Lu Nan was stunned, wondering if she had misheard: "What?"
Shen Qingnan squatted down, looked up at her, his gaze clear and firm, and said, word by word, "I said, I've seen your feet, and I'm willing to marry you."
Lu Nan froze instantly, her mind going completely blank.
Wait a minute, how did the topic suddenly jump to this?
She looked at the man squatting in front of her, her heart pounding, and for a moment she didn't know how to react.
"No...no need, I was just kidding." She was so embarrassed she wanted to disappear into the ground, her voice trembling.
Shen Qingnan reached out and gently lifted her head, his fingertips softly tracing her cheek. "I'm not joking, Lu Nan, I'm serious. I like you. Will you be my girlfriend?"
His eyes were so sincere, as if they were filled with starlight, that Lu Nan subconsciously wanted to immerse herself in them.
As if guided by some unseen force, she softly replied, "Okay."
Shen Qingnan's eyes lit up instantly. He immediately took out a delicate little box from his pocket, carefully opened it, and handed it to her: "This is a necklace I bought for you. Do you like it? If you don't, I'll go exchange it, or we can go pick one out together."
Inside the box lay a delicate pearl necklace. The pearls were round and full, with a faint luster, just right for her age.
Lu Nan looked at the necklace, her cheeks burning, and whispered, "So...beautiful."
"Let me put it on for you." Shen Qingnan stood up and carefully wrapped the necklace around her neck. His fingertips inadvertently brushed against her skin, causing Lu Nan to tremble slightly again.
He gently fastened the clasp, looked down at her, and said in a tone filled with undisguised doting affection, "From today onwards, you are my girlfriend, Shen Qingnan."
Lu Nan had just nodded when she suddenly remembered something and quickly said, "Wait, I have another condition."
Shen Qingnan chuckled, her eyes full of indulgence.
The fact that he can still think of making demands shows that he hasn't been blinded by joy.
"Nannan, you said I'll listen to whatever you say from now on."
"Nan Nan..." Lu Nan murmured the name, feeling a warmth in her heart. She suddenly felt that her name sounded especially nice when he called it out.
Her cheeks flushed slightly, and she whispered, "No...it's nothing."
Shen Qingnan ruffled her hair and said seriously, "It's not appropriate for us to date privately. This weekend, I'll bring my parents to formally visit and meet your parents. It will show the Shen family's sincerity. What do you think?"
The sincerity in his eyes almost melted Lu Nan's heart, and she nodded dizzily, "Okay."
Things are progressing faster than anyone expected.
The next day, Shen Qingnan brought his parents to visit.
Shen Li originally thought this matter would take a while longer, but she didn't expect it to be settled so quickly. She couldn't help but sigh inwardly: As expected of her second brother, his efficiency is really high.
Lu's mother and father were both shocked, completely clueless as to when the two had gotten together, feeling that the plot had developed unexpectedly.
But as Lu's mother looked at Shen Qingnan, she became more and more satisfied, and her lips never stopped curving into a smile—although Shen Qingnan was a few years older than Lu Nan, in the eyes of elders, older men are more likely to be caring.
After exchanging pleasantries, both sets of parents surprisingly finalized the marriage agreement.
With the Lunar New Year fast approaching and the weather getting cold, the wedding was indeed rushed. In the end, they decided to set the wedding date for the spring.
Shen Li won't have given birth by then, so she can be there to witness it. Besides, Lu Nan's birthday is next May, so having the wedding first and then getting the marriage certificate would be a double celebration.
Lu's mother naturally had no objection. Shen Qingnan was not young anymore, and it was normal for him to want to get married as soon as possible.
With such a joyous occasion in the family, everyone was overjoyed. Moreover, the Shen family had always liked Lu Nan, and the two had known each other for a long time, knowing each other's family background and character inside and out.
The Shen family hadn't had a happy occasion in a long time, and now that their son was finally getting married, Mr. and Mrs. Shen hadn't stopped smiling.
Lu Nan stood aside, looking at the harmonious scene before him, still somewhat bewildered.
However, looking at Shen Qingnan's gentle gaze beside her, she felt a sense of peace and warmth in her heart.
How did things develop so quickly?
They were arguing just two days ago.
We're discussing marriage today.
As for why?
Shen Qingnan had gone to pick up Lu Nan at the school gate last week, but ended up seeing Lu Nan talking to another male classmate.
He understood the man's eyes all too well.
Moreover, it was someone he knew.
They are about the same age.
Shouldn't I hurry up and make the most of this time?
Time flies, and the semester is over in no time.
Lanwei returned to Kaiyuan City, and Rongsheng Machinery Factory was officially renamed "Licheng Machinery Factory". The newly launched rice cooker was named "LC100" - starting with 100 in the naming is to facilitate the upgrading and iteration of subsequent products.
Qin Min handled GG's matter exceptionally well, ultimately getting him featured on CCTV's Spring Festival Gala.
The contracts have all been signed; all that's left is to see the results.
The factory has already produced a large number of finished products, and is just waiting to take advantage of the Spring Festival Gala to sell them off.
The main structure of the newly built four-story factory building of Licheng Machinery Factory has been completed, and now only the interior decoration is left.
Everything is moving in a positive direction.
Shen Li's belly grew bigger and bigger, and she became more and more inconvenient to move around. She couldn't even attend the factory's annual party, and she handed it over to Fang Yi and Qin Min.
Lu Cheng returned home on Shen Li's birthday.
During the Spring Festival, everything, whether at the factory or at home, was handled very well.
Shen Li was finally able to find time to stay home and read books and rest during her pregnancy.
My second uncle also managed the household affairs very well.
As for Zhou Quan, he was previously arrested for framing someone and was eventually sentenced to three years in prison.
Fortunately, he was merely framed under someone's orders and was not the owner of the drugs. He even revealed the person behind it—Madam Feng.
This incident infuriated the head of the Feng family, who almost severed ties with Madam Feng and suffered considerable losses as a result.
It really proves the saying: "It's not the god-like opponents you should fear, but the pig-like teammates."
