If Yun Tiancheng knew at this mont that Yun Shifei and Cheng Lie had privately agreed to spend their lives together, he would definitely be furious enough to drive Cheng Lie away.
How could soone propose marriage to a girl so casually?
Cheng Lie actually hadn’t expected himself to say it so casually either. Although this was sothing he had been holding in his heart for a very, very long ti, he had imagined countless tis how he might propose to Yun Shifei in a romantic way.
But when Yun Shifei was talking to him about their shared past, he acted impulsively.
Yet Yun Shifei agreed.
Their mutual understanding reached a near-perfect harmony at that mont.
Cheng Lie didn’t even know what he truly felt inside anymore.
It seed like no matter what he did, Yun Shifei would always lean toward his side.
She always had, and she still does.
If it weren’t for the fact that they were in public, he would have wanted to hold her face and kiss her.
After agreeing, Yun Shifei noticed Cheng Lie’s gaze lingering on her and couldn’t help but wonder if she had agreed too rashly, making him doubt her sincerity.
So she said, "Anything I promise you, I will never go back on my word."
Cheng Lie snapped out of his thoughts and finally understood what Yun Shifei ant. He smiled, "Feifei, how can you be so adorable?"
In front of others, many of Cheng Lie’s smiles were often not genuine, but in front of Yun Shifei, his smile was sincere.
Yun Shifei blushed from his gaze and words, stood up hurriedly, and said, "I’ll get you a glass of water."
Then she ran toward the kitchen.
Sitting where he was, Cheng Lie touched the little treasure in his lap and whispered, "She really is wonderful."
The dog seed to understand him and let out a soft howl.
Cheng Lie took out his phone and sent Zhao Pan a ssage: "What kind of gift should I give a girl when we get engaged?"
Far away in Beijing, Zhao Pan was on vacation at ho.
Still lazing around in bed, he was startled awake by Cheng Lie’s ssage, almost dropping his phone.
Hadn’t Mr. Cheng said this visit back ho might only lead to an engagent?
How could he suddenly start asking about marriage?
"Well... obviously, you should give Miss Yun sothing she likes," Zhao Pan suggested.
Yun Shifei liked...
Cheng Lie thought for a mont. It seed like the only thing she truly liked was him. Aside from that, she also had a fondness for sweets.
Suddenly, Cheng Lie rembered Yun Shifei telling him how she had bought the golden retriever to heal him back then. Perhaps now was the ti for him to share sothing with her as well.
That evening, after having dinner with Yun Shifei and her parents, he took Yun Shifei out for a walk.
South City was rapidly developing, and every few months upon returning, there were always new and unexpected sights to see.
Cheng Lie led Yun Shifei to a dessert shop they used to frequent, one with a tasteful design that stood out.
Yun Shifei had previously found its decor refreshing, and even now, it still felt modern and appealing.
The shop seed to be even busier than before. Yun Shifei thought Cheng Lie had brought her to enjoy so desserts, but she had just finished dinner and wasn’t sure she had room for anything sweet.
Cheng Lie turned to look at her and asked, "How about so lemon tea?"
Lemon tea aids digestion, so Yun Shifei nodded.
The two of them sat near the window, where they could see the bustling streets outside with cars coming and going.
Scenes like this had persisted from a long ti ago to the present.
Suddenly, Cheng Lie asked her, "Do you like this shop?"
Yun Shifei nodded upon hearing the question. "Yes, I do."
It had so many delicious treats and was always developing new products. Even compared with Beijing’s high-end dessert shops, it wasn’t at all lacking.
Cheng Lie smiled. "Do you want to be the owner of this shop?"
Yun Shifei’s stunned and foolish expression told him she was utterly caught off guard.
So he decided to be straightforward, "You said you bought the golden retriever to heal back then. Did you know, this shop was actually opened for you?"
Yun Shifei froze completely, her eyes widening in shock.
In her mory, this shop had popped up soti later, and she had always thought it unique, with its detailed decor and the wide range of delicacies available. The skill of its pastry chefs was clearly extraordinary—it didn’t seem like an ordinary business.
At one point, she had even suspected the chefs of having studied pastry-making abroad before returning ho.
She never imagined that this shop turned out to have been opened by Cheng Lie.
"At the ti, I saw how much you loved desserts, so I thought of opening a shop like this."
Yun Shifei blushed. "Did you like that much even back then?"
Cheng Lie’s handso face was softened by a tender glow as he gazed at Yun Shifei with affection.
As for when he had truly started liking her, he couldn’t rember anymore.
Perhaps it was very, very long ago.
Even back when he hadn’t fully realized his feelings, he had already fallen for her.
A girl like her was indeed unforgettable.
Cheng Lie looked at Yun Shifei and said, "From now on, this shop will be yours to manage."
As soon as he spoke, the shop’s manager walked over and placed a contract in front of Yun Shifei—it was a transfer agreent.
Yun Shifei wanted to refuse, but when she looked into Cheng Lie’s deep, dark eyes, which now shimred with warmth instead of their forr unfathomable depths, she found herself hesitating.
"You already said yes to marrying . Surely you wouldn’t turn down this small bridal gift, would you?"
Upon hearing Cheng Lie’s words, Yun Shifei thought about it for a mont and then signed her na.
The shop manager put away the docunts and cheerfully addressed her as "Boss Lady," before introducing her to the staff.
It was so surreal.
The dessert shop she had always loved secretly belonged to Cheng Lie all along.
Even now, Yun Shifei felt a bit dizzy. After the introductions, she looked at Cheng Lie and asked, "So, from now on, if I want to eat sothing, can they make it for for free?"
Cheng Lie was amused by her reaction and lightly tapped her forehead with his finger. "This is your property. Whatever you want to eat, you can eat."
Yun Shifei nodded contentedly. "And if I want to design so desserts, can I make that happen too?"
Cheng Lie responded affirmatively, his mood soaring with delight.
Yun Shifei was equally thrilled.
She decided on the spot to brainstorm new dessert trends with the pastry chefs later and create even more delicious flavors.
As they left the dessert shop, Yun Shifei held onto Cheng Lie’s arm and asked curiously, "Xiao Lie, do you have any other surprises hidden from ?"
"Want to know?"
Yun Shifei nodded.
"You’ll have to guess."
Oh, there were many, but if he revealed them all at once, there’d be no room for surprises. He much preferred watching her discover them bit by bit, each one bringing her delight.
That would be far more entertaining.
Yun Shifei let out a soft hum before quickly being distracted by sothing else.
"Sister Shifei!"
"Hey, Yun Shifei."
Two voices called out.
Yun Shifei greeted them in return.
