The sky collapsed, and in the blink of an eye, I found myself transported to Nanluoguxiang.

The couple sat down at the table, and the room fell silent for a moment.

Finally, Lu Chunhua broke the silence: "Husband, do you think we should still accept the bride price?"

"Put it away." Song Qiang slowly uttered a single word, then put the enamel mug he had picked up down again.

"However, when the two children officially get married in a few years, we'll pay back double. We can't let anyone look down on our daughter when she gets married."

"Okay, let's do it the way the boss says." Lu Chunhua said, reaching for the envelope on the table.

She didn't open it, but got up and walked towards the inner room.

On the other side, Li Kaixin rode his bicycle and, with Song Anting on the back, arrived at Nanhu Park.

They had planned to come here long ago.

It was already winter, and a thin layer of ice had formed on the surface of South Lake, while the willow trees on the shore were bare.

There weren't many people in the park, except for one or two elderly men and women strolling along the lake.

Li Kaixin parked his bicycle and pulled Song Anting to sit down on a bench by Nanhu Lake.

Song Anting leaned on his shoulder, gazing at the lake, and said, "Kaixin, are we really getting engaged? I feel like I'm dreaming!"

No sooner had she finished speaking than a warm kiss landed on her.

The kiss was short; it was just a light touch before they parted.

Song Anting covered her mouth and scolded playfully, "Kaixin-ge, we're still outside, what are you doing!"

"An Ting, didn't you say it felt like a dream? I'll help you verify it."

Li Kaixin, with a roguish air, raised an eyebrow at her again: "So, does it feel real now?"

"You, you......."

Song Anting's face turned red, and she was so angry that she raised her hand to hit him.

But Li Kaixin grabbed him, and looking at that alluring face, he leaned in again.

Just as they were about to kiss.

Suddenly, an excited voice came from behind: "Master, you're at Nanhu Park again today!"

Li Kaixin's face immediately darkened. She turned around and saw Zhou Zhiming pulling Wang Fang over.

"Zhiming, why aren't you spending time with Xiaofang? What are you doing here?"

"Master, I'm here with you right now!"

Zhou Zhiming chuckled as he approached, his gaze landing on Song Anting: "Master, you're not being honest. You have a girlfriend and you haven't even introduced her to your apprentice."

Song Anting was teased like this and hurriedly pulled her hand away.

"Go away, you brat, shut up."

Li Kaixin glared at his eldest apprentice with annoyance, then stood up and introduced him to Wang Fang with a smile:

"Xiaofang, this is my fiancée, Song Anting. You two can get to know each other better."

"Fiancée?" Before Wang Fang could reply, Zhou Zhiming leaned closer, his face full of surprise.

"Master, you're moving too fast! Fangfang and I haven't even officially started dating yet! And you've already got engaged?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Song Anting stood up and waved to greet everyone: "Hello!"

"Hello, Master's wife!" Zhou Zhiming responded, quickly extending his hand. "My name is Zhou Zhiming, it's a pleasure..."

Before he could finish speaking, Li Kaixin slapped his hand away: "Zhiming, if you dare to stick your claws out again, believe me, I'll chop them off!"

"Master, you hit too hard! I was just shaking hands!" Zhou Zhiming shook his hand, wincing in pain.

Wang Fang, who was standing nearby, burst out laughing when she saw this.
