Chapter 161 Let's get married, okay?

The temperature drops quickly at night.

Twenty minutes later, Shen Guining's hands began to feel cold.

Qu Yanci pulled her into his arms and opened his trench coat to wrap her up.

Shen Guining pressed her cheek against his soft sweater, her arms wrapped around his waist.

He felt warm, keeping the chill out.

With such a perfect height difference, Shen Guining leaned against his heart, listening to his strong and powerful heartbeat, feeling incredibly safe.

Qu Yanci lifted her head by the back of her head, lowered his head, and captured her pink lips.

He had just drunk half a glass of wine, and the rich aroma lingered on his lips and teeth.

They kissed until they were completely intoxicated.

Shen Guining took a deep breath and inhaled the fresh air.

A voice suddenly came from above: "Let's get married, okay?"

A sentence that caught me completely off guard.

Shen Guining paused, her lips parted slightly, "I..."

She paused, then lowered her eyes guiltily. "I'm not ready yet."

Not being ready to enter into marriage, even though marriage may seem like just two simple words, actually involves a lot of responsibility.

She is not in her best condition right now and is not suitable to move on to the next stage.

She's in a terrible state right now, often enveloped by negative emotions, feeling lost about the future, and temporarily unable to manage a family.

"I'm sorry," she said, her voice choked with emotion.

Qu Yanci patted her head and said, "No need to apologize."

He understood all her concerns.

He hadn't planned to propose today, since he hadn't prepared flowers or a ring. But just now, he felt a simple and intense happiness and desperately wanted to be with her officially and legally.

“I can wait until you’re ready.”

The sound entered my ears with the sound of the wind.

Shen Guining felt a tightness in her chest and instinctively hugged him tightly.

"What did you just wish for?" Qu Yanci asked her.

Shen Guining hesitated, "Will it not work if I say it out loud?"

Even without her saying it, Qu Yanci could roughly guess, "Then if your wish comes true, you'll agree to marry me." Shen Guining nodded, "Okay."

But it's too difficult.

Qu Yanci kissed the top of her head. "It shouldn't be too long."

Shen Guining took it as just a word of comfort.

Qu Yanci gently patted her back, "Let's go back, it's too cold outside, don't catch a cold."

"Ah."
-
The next morning, Shen Guining was forcibly woken up.

She didn't fall asleep until 2 a.m., and was still sleepy. Her eyelids barely opened for a few seconds before closing again. She mumbled a complaint in her sleep, "Why did you wake me up?"

Qu Yanci lifted her out of bed. "I'll take you to see someone."

"Your friend?" Shen Guining asked sleepily. "Why didn't you tell me beforehand?"

"It was a last-minute arrangement." Qu Yanci took the underwear from the bedside table and helped her put it on.

“Okay.” Shen Guining raised her hand cooperatively.

He moved with practiced ease, adjusting his bra and neatly fastening the clasp.

After getting dressed, Shen Guining got out of bed and went to the bathroom to wash up.

After getting ready and having breakfast, I left home at 9:30.

The driver was waiting near the hotel in advance.

After getting in the car, Shen Guining leaned against the window and yawned, asking curiously, "Where are we going?"

Qu Yanci didn't tell her directly, "You'll know when we get there."

Mysterious.

Shen Guining stopped asking questions.

The private car drove through the town's streets, past a wheat field, and wound its way into a private estate, finally stopping in front of an old castle.

Several servants were tending to the lawn and flowerbeds.

As soon as I got out of the car, a middle-aged man in a dark tuxedo approached me and asked, "Are you Mr. Vince?"

Qu Yanci nodded, "I have an appointment with Ms. Sofie."

The butler led the way, saying, "This way, please."

Shen Guining thought that today was just accompanying Qu Yanci to meet his friends.
