Proud senior schoolgirl was tender and sweet, we fell in love

Lin Yu couldn't help but laugh helplessly as he said this, "But I feel it's a bit too casual, and I don't want to be casual; she deserves better."

Lin Yu met Liu Da's gaze without dodging, "So, uncle and auntie, I want you to feel reassured, once I come back in three years and have settled down, we'll get married."

I don't want you to think we're still young, and it's not certain yet.

I added Liu Ou's name to the house purchase to show that I'm already certain now.

I also want you to see that, even though I'm leaving, I won't let Liu Ou wait foolishly without expecting anything in return.

Not expecting anything in return is her attitude, but to give her the best I can right now is my own attitude.

Liu Da and Wang Wen, who were both sharp, had to admit that at least this young man was responsible, as they looked at Lin Yu's composed face.

It's no surprise that Liu Ou likes him.

The old lady raised Lin Yu very well.

Liu Da and Wang Wen didn't seem to want to continue the conversation; after all, from a parent's perspective, Lin Yu's actions had indeed given them quite some peace of mind.

No one is willing to accept their daughter just waiting for three years.

And it's not even certain if she'll be able to wait it out. Read new chapters at empire

But Lin Yu addressed their unspoken concerns directly, and then made his own promise,

His words were few, but they understood the meaning behind them.

Even if they really broke up in the future,

At least Liu Ou would have material security.

But Liu Ou frowned with clear disapproval on her face.

She still wanted to say something, but Lin Yu squeezed her hand a few times, was he signaling her not to speak for the moment?

Liu Ou glanced at him several times, but eventually, she did not speak.

Some things could be discussed just as well between them in private.

After eating, Lin Yu sat for a while before standing up to take his leave.

He didn't want to disturb Liu Da and his wife's nap.

Liu Da and Wang Wen escorted him to the door, reminding him, "Next time come for a meal, there's no need to bring anything."

Wang Wen put the fruit basket in his hands, "We have fruits at home, take this and share it with your grandmother."

Lin Yu attempted to decline, but Liu Da interjected, "Being so formal now? That's for guests to do."

With those words, Lin Yu found it difficult to refuse anymore, and in the end, he and Liu Ou left together, carrying the fruit basket downstairs.

Liu Ou was somewhat silent, and Lin Yu, noticing this, knew why.

The two of them stepped out of the elevator without encountering anyone.

It was now past two o'clock, and many people were probably still napping.

Lin Yu was the first to speak, "I'm sorry I didn't discuss the house buying with you in advance."

Liu Ou's face showed an unreadable emotion, only giving him a glance, "Buying a house is your prerogative."

Lin Yu felt a sink in his heart; she was truly upset.

He quickly clasped Liu Ou's hand tighter, "It's not like that, I only discussed and decided with grandma this morning before I left, indeed I hadn't had the chance to tell you, and I know that if I did, you certainly wouldn't have agreed."

Lin Yu sighed softly, "But I just want your parents to be a bit more at ease about me, I know they are worried."

This timing isn't the best for going abroad, but it's the most suitable one for me.

Lin Yu also felt helpless.

In such a situation, all he could do was try his best to reassure the people around him.

To have a bit more confidence in their relationship as well.

But keeping it from Liu Ou was indeed wrong.

So, he was very serious as he apologized now, "I'm sorry."

Don't try to convince your girlfriend to see your point of view while she's angry; you can discuss it later,

Just don't be stubborn when she's upset, or else you might end up single again.

Most of the time, Lin Yu's emotional intelligence wasn't nearly as high as Xie Xiao's,

But every time he was with Liu Ou, he just seemed to understand, and his will to survive was strong.

Sincerity is indeed the ultimate killer move.

As soon as Lin Yu started talking, he rambled on about everything, then seriously apologized, and looked at her with a face full of regret.

Faced with such a Lin Yu, Liu Ou could no longer muster up her anger.

But she felt extremely stifled inside.

She didn't need Lin Yu to prove anything with this method.

Yet as he said, she didn't need it, but perhaps her parents did.

Their slightly eased expressions were all too evident.

So when Lin Yu stopped her from speaking just now, she really didn't say much.

At this moment, they were standing in the lobby on the first floor.

Lin Yu looked at her with the same serious and apologetic face.

Liu Ou found herself unable to say much more.

Yet she was still upset, so she spoke in a muffled voice, "You should go back."

Without a second thought, Lin Yu said, "No, you're still angry."

He reached out to embrace her in his arms, then found the fruit basket in the way and placed it on the ground.

Liu Ou's body was somewhat stiff, and after pushing him several times without success.

Lin Yu's voice grew very low; previously, when he chatted with Xie Xiao, they talked about boys acting spoiled.

Xie Xiao thought that occasionally acting spoiled with one's girlfriend was charming.

Before, Lin Yu had even mocked him for being shameless.

But now, he realized that it might indeed be effective.

At least when he showed vulnerability and said, "Wife, I'm really sorry, I was wrong, it won't happen again."

Liu Ou's previously stiff body seemed to soften.

She glanced at Lin Yu, who was nuzzling his face into her shoulder, a position that must have been uncomfortable for his height.

But he seemed not to feel it, just looking at her seriously and with a pathetic gaze.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

How to say it—it just made one's heart melt.

Liu Ou sighed and lightly pushed his head, "Get a grip, you're a grown man and still acting like this. Are you not ashamed?"

Then she added softly, "And who is your wife, anyway?"

In his heart, Lin Yu gave Xie Xiao a thumbs-up, it really was effective.

More exchanges in the future would be beneficial.

But now, it was clear he needed to soothe his 'wife' first.

So, with a pitiful look, he said, "You're my wife. You wouldn't abandon me, would you? That would be tragic—just a poor guy nobody wants..."

Though Liu Ou's heart softened, she retorted, "Oh, with someone like you, there'd be a bunch of people wanting you out there. What are you afraid of?"

"That won't do. I only want my wife. I wouldn't even spare a glance at others!" Lin Yu said, theatrically waving his hand.

As if to signal, 'stay away from me.'

This made Liu Ou unable to hold back her laughter.

She said, "You're really annoying. Stand up!"

Lin Yu didn't move, "I can't stand. I need a kiss from my wife first to get up."

Eventually, Liu Ou, worn down by his persistence, quickly pecked him on the lips, "Alright, get up now. That way, you won't be uncomfortable, right?"

A smile appeared in Lin Yu's eyes.

He indeed rose from her shoulder, then leaned down to kiss her lips, "It's more comfortable to kiss you like this."

In the deserted lobby, they shared a lingering kiss.

When Lin Yu let go of Liu Ou, he saw the blush on her face.

His voice was gentle; he touched the swollen red lips that he had caused, "Wife, believe me, I love only you."

It was the case in the past, it is now, and it will be in the future.
