The wife took the baby to live with the military commander, and the commander washed diapers every d

That evening, the family went to a private room at the restaurant owned by Sister-in-law Lu for dinner.

Over the years, Sister Lu has gone from starting out as a street vendor to running a restaurant business that has grown bigger and bigger.

"Xiao Yu is back today, she won't leave again, right?" Shen Jingyue asked her daughter while eating.

"I'm not leaving. I've been transferred to a dance academy in Beijing, and I'll be working there from now on."

Dance has always been Xiaoyu's passion, so she chose to study dance in college. Not only is she a great dancer, but she can also choreograph her own dances. She has participated in various dance competitions since she was a child and has won many awards.

She even appeared on the Spring Festival Gala a few years ago, which made Shen Jingyue extremely happy, as she was her daughter.

"That's good. You can live at home from now on. I was most worried about you all being away for so long."

"By the way, now that you're back in Beijing, what are your plans for things between you and Ono?" Shen Jingyue asked Xiaoyu.

Sitting next to Shen Jingyue, Qin Xiang'an spoke up: "Wife, there's no rush. Xiao Yu just came back from Haishi, and she's still young. There's no need to rush."

Qin Xiang'an, who has a daughter, doesn't want her to get married so early.

Although Song Ye was a decent kid, Qin Xiang'an just didn't want his own cabbage to be picked by someone else so soon.

Xiao Yu lowered her head shyly, her face turning red.

"Dad is right, Mom, we're not in a hurry."

"Don't listen to your dad's nonsense. I know that Ono has already bought a house, near our villa. I think it'll be done soon."

Shen Jingyue really liked Song Ye. She had known him since he was a child, and he often played with Xiao Yu afterward.

He had visited her home many times, and Shen Jingyue knew his personality very well. She also knew that he truly loved Xiaoyu, so she was very reassured about letting Xiaoyu marry him.

"Mom, what you said is true, he bought a house," Xiao Yu said in surprise.

Why hadn't he mentioned this before?

"Yes, he even asked your uncle to help him with the renovations a while ago."

Xiao Yuchuan's business is doing very well now. He not only has his own construction team, but also his own decoration team, specializing in decoration for people.

He didn't tell you this, probably to surprise you. Just pretend you don't know anything about it.

She had just assumed that Xiao Yu already knew, but judging from her reaction, she probably didn't know.

Ono didn't say anything, probably because he wanted to give her a surprise.

I should have known better than to ask.

"I understand, Mom." Xiao Yu's eyes crinkled with joy, clearly in a good mood.

The next day, Song Ye came to find Xiao Yu.

Shen Jingyue was practicing Baduanjin in the courtyard when she saw him coming over. She smiled and said, "Xiao Ye is here. Have you had breakfast yet?"

"Hello Aunt Shen, I've had breakfast. I'm here to see Xiaoyu. Is she awake?"

"This girl hasn't woken up yet. Wait in the living room for a bit, I'll go wake her up for you."

"No need, Aunt Shen, she's still sleeping. I'll wait here for a while. She just got back yesterday, she must be tired."

"It's alright, she should be awake by now anyway."

Shen Jingyue felt it wasn't good to keep people waiting.

But Song Ye persisted, which improved Shen Jingyue's opinion of him even more.

"Okay, then sit down and watch TV for a while, don't be shy."

Shen Jingyue turned on the TV for him, while she went upstairs to change her clothes.

Then she went to Xiaoyu's bedroom, assuming Xiaoyu was still asleep.

When I opened the door, I saw that the girl was already up.

"You're awake. You didn't sleep much." Shen Jingyue walked in; she was already changing her clothes.

"I got up after sleeping for a while. I was hungry and was going downstairs to get something to eat." As she spoke, Xiao Yu grabbed a coat and put it on.

"That's perfect. Ono is here, waiting for you downstairs. I just said I'd come up to call you, and he told you to sleep a little longer."

"There's still breakfast in the kitchen, why don't you go down and have some?"

"Song Ye is here?" Xiao Yu's eyes lit up immediately.

"Yes, she's downstairs. Hurry up and go down, don't keep them waiting."

"Do I look good in this?" Xiao Yu looked down at the dress she had just changed into.

"She looks great! My daughter looks good in everything she wears. Go on!"

"Then I'll go down."

Xiao Yu ran downstairs happily.

Song Ye was sitting in the living room when he heard a noise coming from the stairwell. He looked in the direction of the sound and saw Xiao Yu coming down from upstairs.

Song Ye immediately stood up, smiled, and walked over.

"Aren't you still sleeping?"

"I woke up hungry. What brings you here? Aren't you busy?"

"No rush. Are you hungry? Is there any noodles in the kitchen? I'll cook some for you." Upon hearing that she was hungry, Song Ye's first thought was to cook her breakfast.

I should have bought something outside when I first arrived.

"No need, there's food in the kitchen. I'll eat there. Have you eaten yet?"

"You've eaten, so I'll keep you company. I'll take you somewhere later."

"OK."

Xiao Yu was really hungry, so she went to the kitchen and ate the breakfast her mother had left for her.

After that, she went out with Song Ye.

Shen Jingyue watched them all leave, smiled, and went to the study.

Song Ye did not drive out.

Xiao Yu was still a little confused, "Aren't you driving?"

His car was parked in front of her house, but to everyone's surprise, he didn't intend to drive it.

"No need, it's nearby."

At first, Xiao Yu didn't understand what he meant, but when he led her to a villa next door, Xiao Yu immediately understood.

But she knew he wanted to surprise her, so she pretended not to understand and asked, "Why did you bring me here?"

"This is my surprise for you."

Song Ye took out the key, opened the door, and led Xiao Yu inside.

The villa has been renovated.

To buy this villa, Song Ye invested most of his savings.

"Do you like it?" Song Ye looked down at Xiao Yu and asked with a smile.

"This is?"

"This is our home from now on."

Song Ye took Xiao Yu's hand, then knelt down on one knee and took out a small box from his pocket.

Inside was a glittering gold ring.

"Xiao Yu, will you marry me?"

Xiao Yu was completely taken aback by his sudden marriage proposal and was stunned for a moment.

"Xiao Yu, from now on I will love you, protect you, and take care of you, giving you the best of everything. I'll cook and do the housework; you just need to eat, sleep, be beautiful, and do what you love."

"From now on, all my money will be yours to spend as you please. Xiaoyu, will you marry me?"

With a smile on her face, Xiao Yu extended her hand and replied, "Okay."

Song Ye immediately took out the ring and put it on her finger, then gently kissed the spot where the ring was on.

He stood up and hugged Xiao Yu, his face beaming with joy.

This was the happiest day he had ever known.
