Chapter 528: Chapter 527: I Will Not Wrong You, and You Will Not Wrong Me

Upon returning to Binhai, Yan Feifan didn’t go back to Zuimo Court, but instead headed to the Jinxiu Grand Hotel.

Mr. and Mrs. Tian had prepared a celebratory dinner there, mainly to thank the Yan siblings for their help with Tian Yu’s studies and her advancement to high school.

Of course, Yu Suye, Shu Lei, and Mrs. Xia were also on the guest list.

By the time Yan Feifan and Feng Jian arrived at the private room, it was already past seven in the evening.

He noticed that Mrs. Tian was a little fuller than before, and her complexion was much healthier and rosier. He knew that since she was over three months pregnant, she had passed the initial adjustment and critical period.

"Feifan, this is what we’ve ordered, take a look. If there’s anything else you want, just add a few more dishes!"

Faced with Mr. Tian’s enthusiasm, Yan Feifan said politely, "Mr. Tian, you don’t need to order more. I’m not a picky eater when it comes to good food..."

Before he could finish, he heard Tian Yu, who was sitting beside him, muttering under her breath, "Pagoda pork, pagoda pork..."

Yan Feifan changed his tune. "In that case, let’s add the pagoda pork!"

Mrs. Tian shot Xiaoyu a disapproving look and explained to Yan Feifan, "This girl kept asking for that dish earlier, but I didn’t let her order it because I thought it was too greasy."

"Feifan, just look at her. She’s put on more weight these past few days."

Yan Feifan chuckled. "The pagoda pork at this restaurant is one of their signature dishes. It’s worth a try."

"And don’t worry about Xiaoyu gaining weight. Three years of intense high school studies will be more than enough to make her slim down in a flash."

"Exactly, exactly..."

Her goal achieved, Tian Yu said with a grin, "Dad, Mom, I’m just storing up fat for the three hard years of life ahead."

The banquet began amidst light laughter.

As they ate and chatted, Yan Feifan learned that Xiaoyu had chosen to live in the school dorms, saying she wanted to experience communal living.

Tian Yu added, calculating, "And whenever I want to splurge on a good meal, I’ll just come to Zuimo Court for dinner. It’s only four or five stops away, hehe..."

Yan Ziruo chuckled. "You can come over for dinner every day, it’s no problem. If you can’t get used to the dorms, you can also move in with us."

Tian Yu shook her head. "Mooching off you for meals is fine, but I can’t live with you. With how strict Mr. Yan is, I wouldn’t have a shred of freedom at night."

Yan Feifan scoffed lightly. "Xiaoyu, don’t think you’re all that just because you did well on the high school entrance exam."

"Compared to your new classmates, your foundation is still very weak."

Tian Yu pouted and retorted, "Mr. Yan, I’m aware of that. I’ll work hard not to fall behind in class."

Then she asked curiously, "Mr. Yan, with your grades back then, how come you didn’t get into one of the four top-ranked high schools?"

Yan Ziruo smiled and explained, "With Mr. Yan’s abilities, it wouldn’t have made a difference which high school he went to."

"Besides, he was too young back then to live in a dorm!"

Tian Yu let out a little "oh" just as she saw a waiter bring over the pagoda pork she had been longing for.

After the dish was set down, the handsome waiter was stopped by Yan Feifan.

"Ma Weixia, are you getting a taste of real life?"

The hotel owner’s daughter, dressed in a waiter’s uniform, said with a pained expression, "Mr. Yan, don’t even mention it. What ’taste of real life’?"

"After what happened last time, my dad was going to ground us again, but after we begged and pleaded, he changed it to ’reform through labor’."

"It’s been over two months, and this ’reform through labor’ still isn’t over."

Yan Feifan smiled. "Mr. Ma means well. He’s taking the opportunity to let you experience life at the grassroots level."

Ma Weixia lamented, "The problem is, during this time, my brother and I can only spend what we earn. It’s miserable."

The girl had matured quite a bit. She only complained for a moment before quickly leaving the private room...

As the banquet continued and the alcohol took effect, the conversation inevitably delved into personal matters. Topics included Yan Ziruo’s single status, the relationship between Shu Lei and Mrs. Xia, and when Yan Feifan and Yu Suye were going to make things official.

"Ziruo, Xiaoyu tells me that several handsome doctors have asked you out, but you’ve ignored them all?"

"And Shu Lei, as Ziruo and Feifan’s elder, you need to set an example! Don’t drag your feet when it comes to marriage."

"Feifan, you and Su Ye have been together for a few months now. You should know everything there is to know about each other by now, right?"

Yan Feifan and his sister exchanged a secret glance. Overly enthusiastic family friends could be quite the headache.

Yan Ziruo laughed it off. "Mr. Tian, Mrs. Tian, matters of the heart are all about the feeling. If the feeling isn’t there, it doesn’t matter how good the other person is on paper."

"Oh, this fish is excellent. You should try some..."

Just then, their uncle, Shu Lei, suddenly stood up and knelt on one knee in front of Mrs. Xia.

As the Yan siblings stared, dumbfounded, they heard Shu Lei say with deep affection, "Xia, the first time I saw you, my heart skipped a beat."

"Getting to know you over this time, your every move and every word has completely captivated me. For the first time, I’ve started thinking about settling down and starting a family. The feeling has grown uncontrollably, completely taking over my heart and soul."

As he spoke, he took a small jewelry box out of his pocket.

"I was originally planning to put together a proper surprise for your birthday next week."

"But after what Mr. and Mrs. Tian said, I decided there’s no time like the present..."

Shu Lei opened the jewelry box, revealing a small diamond ring. He said, a bit embarrassed, "I haven’t saved much money from going out to sea these past few years. All the money I have was only enough to buy this."

Hearing this, Yan Ziruo, who was sitting to the side, sneered inwardly.

’You, save up money to buy a diamond ring?’

Yan Ziruo finally understood why her uncle had mysteriously come to her two days ago to borrow tens of thousands of yuan.

"Xia, will you marry me?"

Mrs. Xia was caught completely off guard by Shu Lei’s sudden move.

However, she wasn’t a young girl, and she had plenty of life experience. She quickly calmed down.

Her gaze swept over Yan Feifan, Yan Ziruo, and Yu Suye. Seeing their unconcealed surprise, she knew this was indeed Shu Lei’s own impulsive act.

Mrs. Xia met Shu Lei’s expectant gaze, took a deep breath, and said slowly, "Lei, I have feelings for you, too."

"However, there are some things that need to be said upfront."

"You’ve done some scummy things in the past, and my past is pretty terrible too."

"So, I won’t hold your past against you, and you can’t look down on my history, right?"

Shu Lei nodded hastily. "I know. I’m in no position to look down on you either. Let’s not look at the past, only the present and the future."

"I’ll be faithful to you, and you be faithful to me."

Mrs. Xia nodded in satisfaction and continued, "I know I’m not some gentle, virtuous woman, but I can promise I’ll be faithful to you and won’t go back to my old ways and do bad things."

"If you’re unfaithful to me, or if you go back to your old ways..."

Mrs. Xia’s expression suddenly turned stern. She said, word by word, in a chilling tone, "I will cripple your entire body, and then I will take care of you."

Her words made Shu Lei shudder involuntarily.

"Lei, I’m a woman of my word."

"Do you still want to marry me?"

Shu Lei hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said, "Xia, even though we haven’t known each other for long, some people just see each other once and know they’ve found the person they’ve been looking for their whole life."

"Xia, you’re the woman I want for my wife."

Shu Lei suddenly raised his voice to its maximum volume and shouted, "Xia, I love you!"

"Will you marry me?"

A rare blush appeared on Mrs. Xia’s face as she held out her hand.

Amidst a round of applause and cheers, an emotional Shu Lei quickly took out the ring and slipped it onto her finger...
