She's come clean; the fake heiress has a ton of aliases.

Chapter 438 Proposal
When Nan Yu woke up again, she was nestled in Huo Junyan's arms.

She looked up slightly and could see Huo Junyan's superior bone structure, his slightly sharp jaw, and above that, his high nose bridge and cool, aloof eyes.

Finally, his gaze fell on those pale, thin lips.

After the kiss last night, she leaned against Huo Junyan's chest and fell asleep without him noticing.

But she remembered that kiss very clearly.

His aura, his dominance...

Nan Yu blushed and immediately lowered her head, not daring to think about that kiss anymore.

Suddenly, she felt a tightness around her waist.

The next second, she heard Huo Junyan's warm breath beside her ear.

"woke up?"

Upon hearing the sound, Nan Yu immediately looked up at Huo Junyan.

It instantly filled his deep eyes.

She pursed her lips. "I'm awake."

Huo Junyan lowered his head and hugged her even tighter.

"Nan Yu, I'm sorry, I couldn't help myself during that kiss last night."

The warm breath on Nan Yu's ear turned scalding hot. Her face flushed, and she wanted to take a step back, away from Huo Junyan's forceful embrace.

But Huo Junyan refused to let go, instead holding her even tighter, making sure there was no distance between them.

"Xiaoyu, don't move, I just want to hold you like this."

Feeling that warm embrace, Nan Yu slowly relaxed her struggling movements and stopped moving.

Huo Junyan's deep voice rang out.

"Xiaoyu, besides that kiss, this embrace is also something I couldn't help myself with."

Nan Yu's ears burned, and she nervously swallowed, "Hmm?"

I was somewhat looking forward to what he would say next.

Huo Junyan continued, "Xiaoyu, I can't help myself to like you."

Nan Yu was stunned when she suddenly heard the confession.

She slowly raised her head from his embrace, meeting his deep, affectionate eyes, and her heart began to pound.

"you……"

Huo Junyan lowered his head and carefully kissed Nan Yu's forehead.

"Nan Yu, what I said is true. I like you and want to spend my whole life with you."

"That's why I don't want to divorce you."

Nan Yu saw the tenderness and fear in Huo Junyan's eyes, as if she were something precious, and he was afraid of her leaving him, wishing he could hold her in his arms.

She looked at Huo Junyan in front of her and could hear her own heart pounding.

Suddenly, she didn't know how to respond to Huo Junyan.

She said she didn't like him, but she didn't resist Huo Junyan's embrace, nor did she resist that kiss.

She said she liked him, as if she...

The sound of a heartbeat echoed in my ears.

Nan Yu suddenly realized that she couldn't find the words to deny that she liked him.

She slowly raised her head, her hand gripping Huo Junyan's shirt tightened, and a glimmer of light shone in her clear eyes.

"Huo Junyan, the thought of spending my whole life with you makes me not dislike this future."

Upon hearing this, Huo Junyan's eyes changed slightly, and a hint of joy appeared.

“Xiaoyu, you…”

Nan Yu clung to his shoulder, leaned forward, and lightly kissed Huo Junyan's lips.

"Huo Junyan, I agree."

"Let's not get a divorce. Let's live a good life together from now on."

Upon hearing this, Huo Junyan felt a surge of intense excitement in his chest. He met those smiling, star-like eyes, and his gaze darkened.

He pressed his hand against the back of Nan Yu's head and lowered his head to kiss her again.

"Xiaoyu, I like you."

……

Nan Yu couldn't remember exactly how many times they kissed.

All she knew was that her lips were swollen.

It hurts even with the slightest touch.

Because she was afraid that Wang Ma and Qi Ming would see it, she specially applied some medicine and then covered it with lipstick.

As Nan Yu went downstairs, she immediately spotted the culprit sitting at the dining table, smiling and waving at her.

"Today, Aunt Wang is cooking, and she made all your favorite dishes."

Nan Yu deliberately chose to sit in the seat furthest away from Huo Junyan and said to Wang Ma, who was bringing out dishes from the kitchen, "Wang Ma, you've worked hard."

Seeing that Nan Yu was ignoring him, Huo Junyan silently turned his wheelchair and came to Nan Yu's side, forcibly putting his arm around her waist.

Why are you ignoring me?

His tone carried a hint of grievance.

Nan Yu had no choice but to look at Huo Junyan beside her, push his hand away, and give him a warning look in her eyes.

"time to eat."

Huo Junyan noticed the slight blush behind her ears, suppressed the obvious smile in his eyes, and obediently withdrew his hand.

Then he personally ladled a bowl of soup and placed it in front of Nan Yu.

"Wang Ma's soup is always delicious, you should drink more to nourish yourself."

Nan Yu didn't refuse; she picked up the bowl and began to taste it bite by bite.

Out of the corner of her eye, she noticed that Huo Junyan wasn't eating, but kept putting food on her plate. She couldn't help but ask curiously, "Aren't you going to eat?"

Huo Junyan gently shook his head, "I'm not hungry."

Nan Yu squinted, recalling what Wang Ma had told her before.

On a whim, she scooped up a spoonful of soup and fed it to Huo Jun's lips.

"Drink a sip."

Seeing this, Huo Junyan took the spoonful of soup from her hand.

"Mm, it's delicious."

Nan Yu also picked up a piece of pork ribs for him, saying, "These pork ribs are also very delicious."

Huo Junyan looked at the extra ribs in his bowl. He had no appetite before, but now he suddenly wanted to try them.

He picked up his chopsticks and started tasting.

The ribs that I used to find tasteless and bland suddenly tasted quite flavorful today, and they weren't as unpalatable as before.

Nan Yu served him a lot more food and introduced the dishes to him.

Wang Ma and Qi Ming, standing at the kitchen doorway, watched this scene with obvious smiles in their eyes.

Wang Ma whispered to Qi Ming, "See, I was right before. The young master likes the young mistress. They are a match made in heaven."

Although there was a small misunderstanding, it proved that as long as the young master met the young mistress, he would definitely fall in love with her.

Qi Ming secretly took a picture of the two people at the table, and said with a smile, "Aunt Wang, you have a good eye for talent."

When Wang Ma saw the photos he took, she thought they were of a beautiful young couple, and that they were very well taken.

"Butler Qi, could you send me a copy of these photos later?"

Qi Ming nodded, "Okay, I'll organize it tonight and send you a copy."

"I'll send this photo to the old lady later."

While the Huo family was enjoying a harmonious atmosphere, the Nan family's ancestral home was filled with sighs and lamentations.

Looking at the text message Nan Yu had sent him, Nan Zhou looked troubled. He turned to Nan Bofu and said, "Dad, Xiao Yu sent a message saying that she doesn't plan to get a divorce and wants to continue being with Huo Junyan."

Sitting in the hall, Nan Bofu's face instantly darkened. "Why is this child so disobedient? That Huo Junyan isn't a good person; she's doomed with him!"

Nan Zhuoyuan was much calmer. He looked calmly at Nan Zhou and asked, "What else did Xiao Yu say?"

Nan Zhou looked at Nan Zhuoyuan and said, "Big brother, Xiao Yu also told us not to worry about her, she has her own reasons."

Upon hearing this, Nan Zhuoyuan nodded gently, "Then let's listen to Xiaoyu. She said she doesn't want a divorce, so let's not interfere in this matter anymore."

Nan Zhou immediately stood up. "Brother, how can this be? Xiao Yu has entered a den of thieves; that place is absolutely unsafe!"

"Xiaoyu is still young, she's easily deceived. Why are you making the same mistake in your dream?"

Nan Bofu also looked at Nan Zhuoyuan with displeasure, "Zhuoyuan, Azhou is right. We can't let Xiaoyu make her own decisions. We still need to make her wake up and divorce Huo Junyan."

Seeing the two refuse, Nan Zhuoyuan quickly explained, "Dad, Azhou, you don't understand Xiaoyu enough. Xiaoyu is someone who knows very well what she is doing."

“I respect her decision and support her.”

Nan Bofu frowned, wanting to say more.

Suddenly Duan Zhu's voice came from behind.

“Bo Fu, I think Zhuo Yuan is right. Xiao Yu is a very opinionated daughter, and we should respect her choices.”

"Since she said she didn't want to divorce Huo Junyan, it means she has feelings for Huo Junyan and doesn't want to separate from him."

“If we, as her parents, don’t support the person our daughter likes, then who else will stand by her side?”

When Nan Bofu saw Duan Zhu come down, he immediately went to her with concern.

"Why didn't you rest upstairs? Why did you come down here?"

Duan Zhu gave a weak smile. "I heard your voices upstairs, so I came down."

She then turned to Nanzhou and said, "Nanzhou, send Xiaoyu a message and tell her that our whole family supports her decision."

Nan Zhou opened his mouth, wanting to say something more.

Duan Zhu spoke first: "I know what you want to say, you want to ask me why I agreed."

Nan Zhou nodded. "Mom, didn't you say before that you absolutely had to make them divorce? Why did you agree to it now?"

Duan Zhu smiled gently, "When I first heard that Nan Yu was going to marry Huo Junyan in place of Nan Qingqing, I was actually very resistant. I couldn't accept my daughter marrying a man who was disabled in both legs."

"But when I saw the photos that Mrs. Huo sent me, I suddenly changed my mind."

Nan Zhou was stunned. "Photos? What photos?"

Duan Zhu took out her phone and handed it to them.

"See for yourselves."

Nan Zhou took the phone and saw that it was full of photos of Nan Yu at the Huo family's house.

There are photos of her having dinner with Madam Huo, photos of her alone, and photos of her with Huo Junyan.

All the photos show that Nan Yu was genuinely happy at that moment, without any pretense.

Duan Zhu continued, "Seeing her so happy, I suddenly didn't want to make her sad."

Nanbofu also saw those photos, showing his daughter looking happy, a sight he had never seen before.

He suddenly understood why Nan Yu refused to get a divorce.

He squeezed Duan Zhu's hand. "Ah Zhu, we initially wanted her to get a divorce so that she could be happy. Now that she is so happy, we really don't need to force her to get a divorce."

He turned to look at Nan Zhou, "A Zhou, send a message to Xiao Yu as your mother said, tell her that if Huo Junyan treats her badly in the future, she can get a divorce at any time. Our Nan family will always be her home and her strong support."

Looking at those photos, Nan Zhou couldn't bring himself to refuse.

"Okay, I'll send it to her now."

When Nan Yu, who was at the Huo family home, received that text message, she was sitting in the courtyard with Huo Junyan, admiring the flowers.

Huo Junyan saw the contents at a glance. His face darkened, and he immediately turned to hold Nan Yu's hand tightly.

"Xiaoyu, I will not give you the chance to get a divorce."

Nan Yu intertwined her fingers with his and deliberately said, "Then you'd better behave well. If you don't behave well one day, I'll definitely still divorce you."

"After all, I have a family now."

Huo Junyan moved closer to her and pulled her into his arms. "I will definitely do my best and won't let you down."

Nan Yu chuckled softly, leaning against him as she gazed at the distant sunset.

"it is good."

The two of them hugged each other and quietly watched the sunset.

Until night fell, and the stars twinkled.

"Let's go back."

Nan Yu straightened up from Huo Junyan's embrace, wanting to go back to the house.

Unexpectedly, Huo Junyan grabbed her tightly, saying, "Don't go yet."

Nan Yu was taken aback. "What's wrong?"

The next second, a blue firework rose into the air and burst into bloom.

Nan Yu stared blankly for a few seconds as she saw the fireworks overhead.

Then, countless fireworks burst forth, displaying a riot of colors.

The pitch-black night sky was illuminated, creating a stunningly beautiful scene.

Nan Yu couldn't help but sigh.

"Junyan, look!"

She noticed that the person next to her had suddenly disappeared. She quickly turned her head and saw that Huo Junyan, who had been sitting in a wheelchair, had somehow stood up.

He knelt down on one knee in front of her.

Nan Yu looked at him in surprise, "When were you able to stand up?"

Huo Junyan knelt shakily, but his body remained upright.

"Xiaoyu, actually when I woke up this morning, I found that I could move my legs, but I wanted to give you a surprise."

So he planned the proposal in less than a day.

Huo Junyan took out a ring box from his pocket, opened it, and inside was a beautiful diamond ring.

"Xiaoyu, our previous marriage was an accident, but I want to make up for it by proposing to you."

As Nan Yu watched this scene, the fireworks above her head were still blooming, so bright that she could see the deep affection in Huo Junyan's eyes.

"Junyan, are you going to propose to me now?"

Huo Junyan said earnestly, "Xiaoyu, I want to propose to you in front of my favorite flowers, on this day when I stand up again."

"Xiaoyu, will you marry me?"

Despite the constant explosions of fireworks in her ears, Nan Yu clearly heard his marriage proposal.

She responded to him clearly.

"Huo Junyan, I do."

Huo Junyan took her hand and put the ring on her finger.

He stood up again, pulled her into his arms, cupped her chin, and kissed her.

Nan Yu hugged him tightly, stood on tiptoe, and enjoyed the kiss.

Colorful fireworks burst overhead, celebrating their successful proposal.

At this moment, they only had each other.

Wang Ma and Qi Ming were hiding in the corner, one holding a mobile phone and the other holding a camera.

Qi Ming frantically grabbed his camera and recorded the scene.

Wang Ma held her phone, pointed the camera at the two people in the garden, and whispered to Chi Ying on the other side.

"Madam, look how fast the young master is! As soon as he recognized the young mistress, he immediately made up for all the missing steps, and he proposed in just a few days."

"I estimate that the wedding will be in a few days."

On the other side, Chi Ying watched this scene with satisfaction in her eyes.

"I've already picked a date for the wedding, and it's set for next month. That day happens to be Xiaoyu's birthday."

"I want to hold a wedding for Xiaoyu and Junyan on Xiaoyu's birthday!"
