Qin Yue was stunned for a moment, she hadn't expected Chen Cang to sneak into her house!
It was while she was not at home.
Thinking of this, Qin Yue's eyes began to roll, what on earth was this little thief Chen Cang doing in her house?
Was he there to ask for her hand in marriage???
At that thought, Qin Yue's heart started thumping wildly.
What would Chen Cang say?
Qin Yue sat in the duty room and began to fantasize wildly.
The more she thought, the more restless and curious she became.
However, she was surprised to find that her mom hadn't hung up the phone!
Instantly, Qin Xiaotian felt her heart thump wildly, filled with a guilty conscience!
After Qin Xiaoyuan opened the door, Chen Cang brought in a lot of things, gifts sent specially from Korea by Li Junki and Gao Enshun, but they were all skincare products for maintaining the skin.
However, with large and small packages, it looked less like visiting a mother-in-law and more like... delivering supplies?
Qin Xiaoyuan quickly invited Chen Cang to sit down.
Seeing the items, Ji Ruyun said with a smile, "Little Chen, what are you doing, bringing so much stuff that I won't be able to use!"
Chen Cang couldn't help but smile, "Auntie, it's fine, these facial masks, skincare items and such, actually Director Qin can use them too."
Upon hearing this, Qin Xiaoyuan immediately had an epiphany!
This kid couldn't possibly forget about me; I, Qin Xiaoyuan have treated him so well, he wouldn't be so ungrateful!
Giving face masks to a man seems too tame.
Ji Ruyun said with a laugh, "You're in our house now, no need to call him Director Qin, just Uncle will do, right?"
Old Qin chuckled, do I have a say? Isn't it that whatever I say, you make the decisions?
Still, he nodded in agreement. After all, Chen Cang was there, and he couldn't lose face, and honestly said, "That's right! Just call him Uncle, calling him Director Qin is too formal."
Qin Xiaoyuan took out his aged tea and carefully brewed a pot, and the three of them sat down around the living room.
Qin Xiaoyuan said with a smile, "Little Chen, is this your first time visiting our house?"
Chen Cang instinctively shook his head, of course it wasn't, Qin Yue had brought him here several times, and they had even had drinks together!
But just as he was about to speak, his expression suddenly changed, and he quickly reacted, "Uh! Yes, it's my first time!"
That was a close call!
Chen Cang breathed a sigh of relief...
How could he admit something like that?
On the other side, Qin Yue also got a real scare and thought to herself: Good thing you're quick-witted, kid!
Meanwhile, Qin Xiaoyuan and Ji Ruyun exchanged glances, both feeling that something was off...
Ji Ruyun smiled, "This time you recognized our door, come over to our house more often in the future. We have plenty around here. Your uncle, he doesn't have many hobbies, just enjoys good wine and tea. Next time, come and taste his fine wine."
After a bout of polite back-and-forth.
Chen Cang took a deep breath, feeling he should tell the truth!
To be honest, it took courage for him to come here today.
He thought it shouldn't be Qin Yue who initiates the conversation, right?
It would be somewhat excessive to let her bring up such a significant matter of marriage, considering the girl's modesty!
Some time ago, in his room in the Hainan New District, Chen Cang felt he heard the voice of Qin Yue's heart.
Upon careful reflection, perhaps he truly should consider the best interest of both parties.
Chen Cang was 28 this year.
But Qin Yue would soon be 29, and by next year, she'd be 30!
When a girl reaches thirty, her mind starts to ponder a lot more.
Afters a lot of thought, Chen Cang decided he couldn't wait until then. He felt he should take the initiative and ask her hand in marriage!
That's what led to today's visit.
Looking at the smiling faces of Ji Ruyun and Qin Xiaoyuan.
Chen Cang took another deep breath and said earnestly, "Uncle, Aunt, the truth is I have come today because there's something quite important I'd like to discuss with you."
Ji Ruyun couldn't help but feel nervous for no apparent reason.
Though she always urged this moment on, now that it was here, she felt both nervous and excited.
Qin Xiaoyuan, on the other hand, simply smiled faintly. Seeing Chen Cang's nervousness, he poured him a cup of tea, "Have a cup of tea first, take your time, we have plenty of it."
Chen Cang smiled, "Thank you, Uncle."
After a cup of tea, Chen Cang felt somewhat more at ease.
Qin Xiaoyuan was very happy that Chen Cang could come today.
He had guessed quite a bit about Chen Cang's intentions.
After a moment, Chen Cang slowly looked up, his gaze sincere as he slowly spoke to Qin Xiaoyuan and Ji Ruyun, "Uncle, Aunt!"
"Coming here today, I was actually... a bit nervous, but sitting here now, I feel very grounded. There are some things I want to say to you.
"Since I graduated from university and started working at Mingcheng Private Hospital, I dreamt of making money. However, after getting there, I realized it wasn't where I belonged, and it was quite different from what I had dreamt. By a twist of fate, I ended up in the Emergency Department of the Second Provincial Hospital as a temp."
"From that time on, I was content with my monthly salary of 2,200 yuan, because I discovered my value as a doctor there, and I met Qin Yue."
"She's smart and cute, a graduate of a prestigious school, highly educated, and knowledgeable. From that point, I thought this girl was beautiful and impressive, and I wondered how lucky I would be if I could marry her. I knew I would hold her in the palm of my hands and make sure she was happy every day!"
"But I also know that my family background and education don't quite match up to Yueyue's, so I worked hard to improve and prove myself, to feel that I deserved her."
"I'm not saying all this because I'm now successful or impressive, or that I'm worthy of Yueyue."
"I just want to tell Uncle and Aunt that even though Yueyue and I have only been together for a few months, it took me three years to get to know her, to understand her, to learn that she likes fruit bubble tea, spicy hotpot, and I know that she..."
"Although it may seem like I've changed a lot now, becoming the department head and winning these championships and trophies, Uncle, Auntie, I have come up from the lowest of lows in my life, and I know all too well how hard won all of this is. I understand the impermanence of life, and I don't think there's anything wrong with having suffered or been poor before. That is my strength."
"Actually... there's some merit to being a child from a poor family, people like me don't play on sympathies, can endure hardship, and I'll take care of the family matters; I'll carry the rice, eat the leftovers, and repair the appliances when they break!"
"If Yueyue marries me, I'll make sure she never suffers. I'll take on all the hardship and give her all my best qualities."
"Whether through hard times or happiness, I will always treat her well."
As he said this, Chen Cang stood up and bowed deeply, "So... Uncle, Aunt, I hope you can trust me to take good care of Yueyue!"
Ji Ruyun, listening to Chen Cang's words, couldn't help turning her head away and wiped away her tears.
And Qin Xiaoyuan took a deep breath, looking into Chen Cang's eyes, which were filled with determination and sincerity.
