Late at night, Sheng Ning’an almost choked to death on her own saliva.
What nonsense is this girl spouting?
"What kind of lousy idea are you coming up with?"
"I’m serious about this."
On the other side of the video, Tang Dou, with a face covered in a mask, said, "You two have been living together for so long and nothing has happened. You and your guy are truly the champions of pure love."
"I really admire your guy’s self-control. Facing such a beauty like you every day, and yet he remains indifferent. How does he manage it?"
"I think you two are just not emotionally connected enough. Trust me, deeper communication will definitely bring about a qualitative change in your relationship. It’ll guarantee that you’ll deepen your love through action."
"Besides, it’s also a good way to test whether your guy is really up to the task before marriage. You wouldn’t want a fancy-looking but ineffective guy, right? I’m telling you, this is crucial for your lifelong happiness."
"Alright," seeing the girl’s words becoming more outrageous, Sheng Ning’an quickly interrupted her, saying, "I’m going to sleep, you should rest too. Goodnight!" Get full chapters from novel⸺fire.net
"Wait, I haven’t finished..." Tang Dou’s words were cut off as Sheng Ning’an ended the call with a single button press.
Sheng Ning’an tossed her phone away, lightly patted her flushed cheeks, and lay in bed but couldn’t sleep. Every time she closed her eyes, the girl’s words involuntarily popped into her mind.
Feeling oddly dry-mouthed
She simply got up and went to the living room, poured herself a glass of ice water, and was about to drink it when suddenly her hand was empty.
Sheng Ning’an looked up to see her Young Uncle standing behind her, without her knowing when he arrived.
"Young women shouldn’t drink too much cold water," Sheng Yeli said, handing her a warm glass of water.
Sheng Ning’an took the glass, looked up at him, and asked, "Young Uncle, why don’t you have a girlfriend?"
Sheng Yeli: "It’s not that I’m not looking."
Sheng Ning’an paused before responding, realizing he meant that he’s not deliberately avoiding finding one; he just hasn’t met the right person.
Sheng Ning’an chuckled and said, "I thought you were committed to being single."
Sheng Yeli glanced at her briefly and said, "Alright, take care of yourself. Also, don’t overthink. Marriage isn’t the end of a relationship; it’s merely the beginning of a brand new one. It won’t greatly affect your current life, so there’s no need to worry too much. Any change in a relationship should focus on mutual comfort. If a relationship makes you unhappy, you can stop it at any time. Remember, you’re not without recourse. This will always be your home, and your family will always support your decisions."
"Thank you, Young Uncle, I understand." After hearing her Young Uncle’s words, Sheng Ning’an felt a sense of clarity.
Sheng Yeli: "Get some rest." After speaking, he poured himself a glass of water and turned back to his room.
Sheng Ning’an couldn’t help but smile as she watched him leave, calling out to his retreating figure, "Young Uncle, there are a few nice girls in our department. I’ll introduce them to you next time!"
His footsteps paused momentarily as he turned with a dark face and said, "No need." Then he continued walking toward his room.
Sheng Ning’an suppressed her laughter and returned to her room.
The next morning, Xu Weiran came by car to pick her up.
The engagement date was set, and there were a ton of things waiting for them to handle.
Mother Xu had arranged for a designer to visit in the morning to help the two of them customize their outfits.
Xu Weiran came to take her to the Xu Family’s.
