【Latest Broadcast】Tomorrow is the 515 anniversary celebration of Starting Point, the day with the most benefits. In addition to gift packages, this time's '515 Red Envelope Frenzy' is definitely something to watch; who wouldn't want to grab a red envelope? Set your alarms!
Having been in the Yuhai Continent for so long, I fear that today's meal will be the most uncomfortable one for Ouyang Zixin. Even the last time she almost faced a marriage decree with Ouyang Hao in the palace didn't make her feel as restless as this meal.
Finally, after waiting for everyone to finish eating, she eagerly announced the end of the meal and was the first to rush out.
"Still watching? Aren't you going to chase after her?" Bai Su looked at Yun Tianmo with a smile. He had visited their home several times, and Bai Su could tell that he genuinely cared for her daughter, which made her like him more and more, not minding his cold demeanor at all.
Yun Tianmo chased after Ouyang Zixin, and Bai Su took her leave from Yun Tianying and returned to the courtyard. She started to worry since Ouyang Hao had not returned yet.
"Don't follow me!" Ouyang Zixin hurriedly crossed the path, calling out to Yun Tianmo behind her.
Her mother really was something, asking those questions in front of everyone; wasn't that just to make her embarrassed? Now Yun Tianmo had chased after her, how was she supposed to face her mother tomorrow...
The more Ouyang Zixin thought about it, the hotter her face felt, and her steps quickened. But unexpectedly, there was a part of the courtyard she didn't know about, and as she slipped, she lost her balance.
"Watch out."
Fortunately, Yun Tianmo had been following closely behind and noticed her unusual behavior. He rushed forward and caught her just in time, executing a graceful turn as their clothes fluttered in the moonlight. They looked quite fitting together under the moonlight. The flickering light on Yun Tianmo's face made Ouyang Zixin lose herself for a moment, deeply entranced by his profound gaze.
"Too handsome." Without thinking, Ouyang Zixin blurted out what was on her mind.
Hearing this, Yun Tianmo couldn't help but smile; it was the most decent compliment he had heard all night.
"Are you avoiding your mother, or are you avoiding me?"
After the two of them stood still, Yun Tianmo lifted Ouyang Zixin's chin, gradually lowering his head. A somewhat hoarse voice rang in her ear.
Ouyang Zixin felt a ticklish sensation from the sudden warmth, instinctively shrinking her neck. A strange flush crept up to her ears as she whispered, "You did that on purpose."
Yun Tianmo was indeed doing it on purpose. He knew her ears were very sensitive, and only by doing this could he prompt her to speak the truth quickly without evasion. However, he wouldn't admit it, denying, "What purpose? It was your mother who kept asking just now. It's not like I wanted to say anything myself."
Even though he knew Ouyang Zixin wasn't referring to what happened during dinner, Yun Tianmo pretended to be clueless. "Or are you dissatisfied with the answer you gave earlier?"
Ouyang Zixin felt his warm lips brush against her earlobe. Instantly, she felt weak all over as he held her in his arms. In a moment of confusion, she blurted out, "It's too late to be dissatisfied. I've already..."
The night was cool as a breeze rustled through the Purple Bamboo behind her, creating a soft sound. She seemed to come back to her senses, staring at Yun Tianmo with her mouth agape, as if trying to recall what she had just said.
"What have you and I already done?" Yun Tianmo's enchanting smile reappeared before her eyes, his seductive voice making it hard to resist. "Tell me; I want to know."
"…"
"Come on." Was he actually being a bit spoiled?!
"I won't say!"
"Little Woman, don't make me…" Although it was a threat, it still sounded like he was being playful!
Oh my, has she been blown away by the wind? Yun Tianmo can act cute?
As it turns out, Yun Tianmo really can act cute, and not just a little—she's quite good at it.
Seeing that Ouyang Zixin wasn't responding, he quietly took a half step back and buried his head in her neck, his voice slightly muffled as he said, "Come on, I want to hear..."
Ouyang Zixin felt completely overwhelmed; her body was almost stiff. Faced with this side of Yun Tianmo, she had no idea how to respond, her mind was practically screaming—what to do, what to do! Oh my, help!
The silent plea for help received no response, not even from Nameless.
"I've already kissed you..."
"And then?"
"A hug..."
"Hmm?"
"Spending the night." Ouyang Zixin wished she could bite her own tongue; could any girl say such things?
Just when Ouyang Zixin was feeling extremely frustrated, Yun Tianmo lifted his head with a smug smile, like a child who had successfully pulled off a prank. He reached up and playfully scratched her nose, saying, "Since we've done so much together, let's also fulfill what your mother hopes for."
Do? Do what?
"I will marry you." Yun Tianmo said these three words seriously. The gentle evening breeze that had been blowing moments ago seemed to have stopped, leaving only the sound of their breathing and heartbeats in the quiet surroundings.
Thump, thump, thump—
Ouyang Zixin looked up at Yun Tianmo, as if she couldn't process what he had just said. Those simple three words left her mind blank, unable to think.
What did he say? He said he wants to marry me?
"Close your mouth," Yun Tianmo reminded her with a hint of amusement.
"Oh." Ouyang Zixin obediently suppressed her surprise, even though her heart was still in turmoil.
After a while, seeing that Ouyang Zixin still looked like she hadn't caught up, Yun Tianmo couldn't hold back any longer. He grasped her shoulders and said again, "I want to marry you. Will you?"
"You, you... I... you want... I, I..." Ouyang Zixin finally understood this time and became incoherent. Was she being proposed to?
So nervous, so excited, so...
"Speak properly!"
"Okay," Ouyang Zixin swallowed hard. "I'll speak properly..."
She didn't want to stutter, but she had really tried her best; saying it properly had only come out like that.
"Then I will have someone prepare the betrothal gifts tomorrow." Yun Tianmo nodded, a sly glint flashing in his eyes. "Of course, this matter should also be mentioned to your parents, after all, secretly deciding on a lifelong commitment is not exactly honorable..."
"Wait, what did you say? What am I supposed to tell my parents?" Ouyang Zixin felt her head swelling; how could he just make decisions like that? She hadn't even agreed yet.
"You agreed to my proposal, didn't you? So we can start handling the next steps," Yun Tianmo stated matter-of-factly.
"Nonsense! When did I agree?"
"Just a moment ago."
"I did not!"
"I asked if you were willing, and you said 'yes,'" Yun Tianmo looked at Ouyang Zixin with certainty, insisting that he was telling the truth.
"What I said was 'I am fine...'" Ouyang Zixin thought back to their previous conversation. She clearly hadn't agreed; she had said something else, but how...
"Yun Tianmo! If you dare to set a trap for me, you're dead!"
The quiet night was shattered by a sharp scream, and tonight, Ouyang Xuan's Mansion seemed livelier than usual.
