Xu Musen watched An Nuannuan drinking soy milk; this girl had been blushing since earlier.

"What are you thinking about?"

"Ah...nothing."

"As if, your face is red like a monkey's butt."

Xu Musen laughed and used a napkin to wipe the soy milk from her lips.

An Nuannuan held her cheeks, feeling embarrassed and warm: "We're getting engaged today, yet we slept in and let Uncle and Auntie make breakfast for us. Mom said lazy daughters-in-law like this are annoying..."

Xu Musen looked at her troubled and self-blaming little face, smiling: "It's okay, we slept in because we had more important things to do. They would definitely understand."

After all, his mom and dad had been thinking about having grandchildren for a long time.

An Nuannuan wasn't a child, her cheeks flushed, her clear eyes holding some resentment. Watching him enjoy a steaming white bun, she couldn't help but bow her head, blushing.

Goodness, so shameless...

After breakfast, Xu Musen took An Nuannuan to check the venue. For this engagement, he had booked a grand hall by the beach.

Even though it was winter, Huhai's winter remained bustling under the city's nightlife.

The grand hall was luxuriously decorated; the chandelier on the dome was nearly ten meters in diameter, radiating the dazzling glow of thousands of crystals.

The hall was adorned with a variety of flowers, vibrant and colorful, even more romantic and lively than spring.

Xu Musen meticulously arranged each detail.

An Nuannuan kept a silly smile on her face the whole time, but quietly clung to Xu Musen's arm, watching him make arrangements.

"Nuannuan, do you have any thoughts? Or somewhere you want to go today?"

Xu Musen couldn't help but ask.

It's said that engagement and wedding parties matter most to the bride since marrying happens once in a lifetime.

From the venue setup, wedding photos, even to what flowers and music to play during the proposal should be personally managed.

But it seemed different with An Nuannuan.

An Nuannuan blinked, feeling a bit wronged: "I've never been engaged, how would I know."

As she spoke, the girl's big eyes sparkled, clear yet seeming able to see through one's heart.

"But you seem quite experienced."

"...."

Xu Musen instinctively wanted to deny it but swallowed the words.

Truthfully, in his previous life, he had gotten directly married.

Looking into An Nuannuan's clear eyes, Xu Musen felt inexplicably guilty, coughing awkwardly: "Don't talk nonsense. If your grandfather hears, he might take a machete to me. Come on, Grandpa and Grandma must be waiting. Let's go visit them."

"Mm-hmm!"

An Nuannuan's eyes curved, a cunning gleam flickering in her eyes, giggling foolishly, but hugging Xu Musen's arm even tighter.

As if wanting to make up for past deficits all at once.

Xu Musen and An Nuannuan went to the school. Though he didn't intend to publicize his engagement, it's customary to invite for joyous events, even more so for family matters, to inform close ones.

Professor Liang was the elder An Nuannuan cared most about, apart from her family.

This old lady had helped Xu Musen quite a bit and needed to be personally given an invitation.

Professor Liang still lived alone in the faculty residence at Huhai University, a naturally quiet place even more so during holidays.

The whole residential building was scarcely populated, mostly retired professors occasionally coming out to bask in the sun.

"Knock knock..."

Knocking on the door, moments later, a white-haired Professor Liang opened the door, her kindly smile growing.

"Grandma Liang, Happy New Year!"

An Nuannuan walked over supporting Professor Liang's arm, sweetly voicing.

"Oh, Happy New Year to you too, dear! You're really growing up beautifully."

Professor Liang's wrinkles seemed to relax with joy, especially seeing An Nuannuan bouncing around, a smile on her face.

Compared to the previous her, who sat dumbly in a wheelchair, she seemed like a different person.

Her gaze turned to Xu Musen, seeing him with a kindly smile.

"Kids, it's been a while. Come in for tea."

Xu Musen brought in gifts, directly started making tea, while An Nuannuan chatted with Professor Liang.

"How are your grandparents lately?"

"Mm-hmm, they've been in good health, Grandma Liang. How about you?"

"Me? Just old ailments; joints get stiff in winter, but it's nothing, don't worry."

Professor Liang patted An Nuannuan's head, glanced at Xu Musen, already guessing: "You two look so happy today, must be good news for Grandma."

Xu Musen stood up, took out the prepared invitation, handed it to her: "Grandma, tomorrow is our engagement day. We're inviting a few close ones, hoping you'll join us to witness."

Professor Liang looked at the invitation, especially its festive cover with An Nuannuan and Xu Musen's names in gold.

Though she had guessed it, she was still a bit shaky, turning towards An Nuannuan, the girl she watched grow now ready to marry.
