On the day of the celebration banquet, Lu Yang drove to the hospital to pick up Ruan Mian and took a group of people back to the Military District. Everyone was talking and laughing in the car, and the atmosphere was quite lively and harmonious.
Lu Yang pressed his lips together, watching the three people in the back seat through the rearview mirror. He felt that each one was more annoying than the last, except for Shen Cheng, who was somewhat bearable.
When he got off the car, he couldn’t wait to hold Ruan Mian’s hand, as if to declare sovereignty, and took him to the location.
Ren Ge smiled and followed them in.
Shen Cheng looked at the hands of Lu Yang and Ruan Mian and couldn’t help whispering: “Xiao Mian and the Major General are so sweet; they don’t want to be apart for a minute.”
Ren Ge smiled slightly and remained silent.
Wang Dali had a sad face and didn’t want to talk.
Shen Cheng waited for a reply for a long time but didn’t get one. Puzzled, he looked up at the two of them and couldn’t help but wonder why their expressions seemed darker and darker.
Lu Yang held Ruan Mian’s hand as they walked inside. Ruan Mian quietly let him lead, and they walked hand in hand to the entrance of the banquet hall. The door, unlike usual, was closed, and it sounded quiet inside, not at all like there was a gathering happening.
Lu Yang slightly frowned, reached out to push the door open, and with some curiosity, walked in with Ruan Mian.
The banquet hall was quiet. At a glance, there was no one. Lu Yang was slightly stunned, stood in front of Ruan Mian calmly, and looked around vigilantly.
“Warm welcome to sister-in-law!”
Suddenly, a group of people ran out from under the tables and behind the curtains, shouting enthusiastically and cheering joyfully.
Lu Yang: “…” Want to punch someone.
Everyone held confetti tubes and sprayed them at Lu Yang and Ruan Mian. Ribbons and confetti filled the air, making it look like newlyweds were entering.
Ruan Mian and Lu Yang looked at each other, and no one understood what was going on.
Wang Dali, Shen Cheng, and Ren Ge followed behind them, and they were also confused and didn’t understand what was going on.
After everyone finished with their confetti tubes, the soldiers in the room stood in a row in unison, bowed deeply in the direction of Ruan Mian, and said loudly: “Sister-in-law, please take our eldest brother!”
Ruan Mian unconsciously shrank behind Lu Yang and nervously grabbed Lu Yang’s hand.
The room was strangely quiet for a moment; only the ribbons occasionally fell to the ground.
Ren Ge whispered to Wang Dali beside him, “Are you sure Lu Yang has been a soldier here all these years and didn’t join a gang?”
Wang Dali: “…” I am also suspicious now.
Lu Yang looked at the soldiers in front of him and frowned slightly, “What are you doing?”
“Major General, we are working hard for your happy life!” Liu Minghu was the first to stand up and say to Ruan Mian: “Sister-in-law, please marry our Major General. As long as you are willing to marry our Major General, from today on, as long as you need me, I, Liu Minghu, will die for you!”
After he finished speaking, he pushed Li Zhan next to him. Li Zhan stood up reluctantly and looked at Ruan Mian and said lightly: “As long as you are willing to marry the Major General… I will, I will buy you carrots.”
It would be even better if he could feed carrots to the lop-eared rabbit with his own hands.
Chen Xiaoer stood up behind them and said excitedly: “Sister-in-law, if you marry our Major General, I will give you the pond in my home. I also have a few acres of cornfields, which can also be given to you.”
“Sister-in-law, if you marry the Major General, I can drive to pick you up when you go to work or whenever you need a car.”
“Sister-in-law, if you marry our Major General, I will take care of your children in the future! I can take care of your children until they grow up!”
“Sister-in-law, if you marry our Major General, you’ll be our closest relative in the future. If you need anything, just tell us, and we brothers, will definitely do it for you.”
…
Everyone spoke one after another, and their tone was more excited than the other, and they all showed the attitude of wanting to give all their wealth to Ruan Mian.
Wang Dali looked at the grand scene, couldn’t help but swallow nervously, and quietly asked, “Is this some kind of forced marriage scene?”
Shen Cheng leaned back and said nervously: “If Xiao Mian doesn’t agree, will they not let us leave? Will they beat us?”
Ren Ge tilted his head slightly and took a look at the two of them preparing to escape: “…”
Lu Yang blocked Ruan Mian behind him, looking at the soldiers who were swearing one after another; his mouth couldn’t help twitching slightly, and he stepped forward and said coldly: “Shut up!”
Everyone saw that he was about to get angry, so they quickly shut their mouths, kept silent, and looked at Liu Minghu in unison.
It was Liu Minghu who suggested using this method to help the boss propose. Liu Minghu said that sister-in-law has the softest heart, and if they all spoke up together, Ruan Mian would definitely agree.
Lu Yang looked at everyone’s eyes and knew that this must be Liu Minghu’s doing. He couldn’t help but look at him, his eyes narrowed slightly.
Liu Minghu looked at Lu Yang’s dark eyes, stepped forward with a guilty conscience, and said in a low voice: “Major General, we are doing this for your own good. Aren’t we worried about you? We originally wanted to pool our money to buy you a ring, but we haven’t received their salaries this month. When we get our salaries next month, we will pool our money to buy you one.”
Wang Dali wiped his eyes, “…” What a great brotherhood.
Lu Yang’s forehead twitched a few times, and he couldn’t help but glare at Liu Minghu, “I will chase my own wife, and I will buy the ring my own wife wears.”
After he said that, he turned to look at Ruan Mian, and in front of everyone, he suddenly knelt on one knee and took out a velvet square box from his pocket.
Everyone took a breath at the same time. The Major General was well prepared! Even the ring had been bought!
Ruan Mian looked at Lu Yang in surprise, blinked gently, his heart beating nervously, his ears buzzed slightly, and he could only hear Lu Yang’s voice.
Lu Yang looked up at him and smiled gently; his eyebrows were clear and gentle as before.
Ruan Mian looked at his smile and relaxed unconsciously, waiting quietly for him to speak.
Lu Yang said gently: “Mian Mian, we have known each other for seventeen years, been engaged for four years, and have been in love for twelve days. I don’t know when I started to love you, but I know that I have only loved you in my life, and I will love you forever.”
He opened the velvet square box, and there was a simple and exquisite ring inside.
This ring was custom-made by someone he had commissioned earlier. He hadn’t formally proposed to Ruan Mian in the past few days because he had been waiting for this ring to be finished. Today, the staff personally delivered the ring to him.
He took the ring out of the velvet box, looked at Ruan Mian with bright eyes, and said nervously: “Mian Mian, will you marry me? Be my partner, let me love you, cherish you, and protect you for the rest of my life.”
Ruan Mian kept looking down at him, listening carefully to every word he said. After he finished speaking, Ruan Mian couldn’t help but smile sweetly.
He nodded vigorously without hesitation, stretched out his hand, and said in a crisp voice: “I do.”
Of course he was willing to marry Lu Yang. He wanted to be with Lu Yang forever. This was his wish that had never changed.
Lu Yang’s eyes lit up in surprise. When their eyes met, they saw deep love in each other’s eyes.
Ruan Mian’s eyelashes were slightly wet. The scenes he and Lu Yang had experienced together over the years flashed quickly in his mind. The two little children held hands and gradually grew up. Fortunately, they never let go of each other. They will still be inseparable.
Ruan Mian had no home before, so Lu Yang let Ruan Mian integrate into his home.
Now, the two of them will soon have a home, a home that truly belongs to Ruan Mian, a home that Ruan Mian has been looking forward to for a long time.
Lu Yang curled up his lips and solemnly put the ring on Ruan Mian’s hand. The ring size was just right, and it was particularly beautiful on Ruan Mian’s hand.
He gently held Ruan Mian’s hand, bowed his head devoutly, and gave a gentle kiss on the back of Ruan Mian’s hand.
Ruan Mian lowered his eyes and looked at him. When he raised his head, he pulled him up with force and took the initiative to kiss his lips bravely.
Lu Yang slightly widened his eyes. Ruan Mian rarely took the initiative like this, and he couldn’t help but be a little surprised.
Ruan Mian’s lips trembled slightly, and Lu Yang couldn’t help but feel soft in his heart. Even though Ruan Mian was nervous and shy in front of everyone, he still kissed Lu Yang bravely.
Lu Yang held Ruan Mian in his arms, using his tall body to block everyone’s sight, deepening the sweet kiss.
Around them, enthusiastic applause broke out, and cheers filled the air. Everyone was delighted and surprised, watching them with excitement. No one had expected the Major general’s proposal to go so smoothly. Their worries were unnecessary, as sister-in-law accepted the Major General’s proposal without hesitation.
Although sister-in-law agreed to their Major General’s proposal, it had nothing to do with their efforts, but they were still more excited than getting married themselves.
One of the soldiers, taking advantage of everyone’s distraction, sneaked out and set off the fireworks that had been prepared in advance.
These fireworks were originally intended to be used to set off the atmosphere when they were bringing the Major General and sister-in-law together, but they didn’t expect that they were just right for celebration now.
In the quiet night sky, a large display of fireworks blossomed, dazzling and brilliant. The vibrant colors illuminated the room, transforming it into a scene of festive joy and celebration.
Lu Yang and Ruan Mian were immersed in joy, their love palpable as they kissed, seeing no one else but each other.
Under the backdrop of fireworks, the two looked as exquisite and beautiful as a painting.
Wang Dali quietly watched them, his gaze sweeping over Ren Ge and Li Zhan’s faces.
“…” He suspected that Lu Yang had intentionally gathered all his love rivals here to assert his dominance and, incidentally, show off his affection.
He had to admit he was indeed hurt by this display of affection, feeling so heartbroken that he wanted to crow like a rooster.
He looked up at the fireworks blooming outside the window and gradually relaxed. The two people he liked were together, and he should feel happy.
Ren Ge stood in the crowd, looking at Ruan Mian’s back, and smiled with relief and happiness.
He was a few years older than Ruan Mian and watched Lu Yang and Ruan Mian grow up. He watched them go from friends to lovers.
He actually saw how good Lu Yang was to Ruan Mian. The moment Lu Yang turned into an Alpha, he knew he had no chance, but he didn’t want to give up easily, so he struggled hard.
In fact, he knew very well that even if Lu Yang didn’t turn into an Alpha, he still might not have a chance.
He smiled with relief and let it go completely. As long as Ruan Mian could be happy, he would be satisfied.
Li Zhan was also watching Ruan Mian and Lu Yang, thinking that when he went back later, he would feed the lop-eared rabbit he had just bought two more carrots to compensate for his injured heart.
