Xu Musen couldn't help but laugh. He held up the red envelope high: "They are my parents, and they will be your parents in the future. How can parents give money to their own children so calculatively? If you don't take this red envelope, they might really not be able to enjoy their retirement peacefully."
An Nuannuan knew he was doing it on purpose. She opened her mouth but couldn't argue back. In the end, her cheeks puffed up with embarrassment and annoyance: "Fine... I'll take it then."
"This is the red envelope for changing the way you address them. You earned it by calling them Mom and Dad. If you want to give it back now, what should you do?"
Xu Musen shook the red envelope in his hand and slowly approached An Nuannuan.
An Nuannuan looked at his mischievous smile and finally understood his true intention.
Yes, even the elders had already changed how they addressed each other.
They were no longer just boyfriend and girlfriend.
"Hu...husband..."
It was the first time An Nuannuan had slowly said this word in such an official capacity. Her voice at this moment was as faint as a mosquito, quieter than the beating of her heart.
"What? I can't hear you."
Xu Musen tilted his ear, pretending not to hear.
An Nuannuan looked up, her cheeks throughout the whole day unusually rosy. She slightly opened her moist, pink lips: "Hu...sband."
"Hus-what?"
Xu Musen leaned his ear closer again.
"Husband..."
"Huh?"
"Husband!"
The girl shouted the words with a bit of force, her voice slightly trembling. An Nuannuan didn't even notice the slight moisture in her eyes. She had waited so long for these words.
Now, she could finally call him that openly and rightfully. How could she not be excited and proud?
The word "husband" was like a sweet honey dripping into Xu Musen's heart. He smiled and gently placed the red envelope in her hand, pulling her tightly into his embrace.
"That's right, my Boss Nuannuan, my... dear wife."
An Nuannuan's body trembled as she burrowed deeply into Xu Musen's chest. As the fireworks lit up the sky, she laughed and cried.
Those once regretful memories were finally resolved at this moment.
She had also waited far too long for the title of "dear wife."
"Just now... Dad drank too much and cried... I've never seen him cry in front of so many people before."
An Nuannuan's eyes sparkled as she watched the fireworks in the sky.
"He's giving away his daughter, of course, he would be reluctant. When we have seven or eight daughters in the future, I might not even know how many times I'll cry."
Xu Musen said with a smile.
An Nuannuan blushed and hummed lightly: "Who wants to have that many... We're not pigs."
For some reason, it felt like everyone was pushing them to have a baby today...
Xu Musen also seriously considered it for a moment and nodded in agreement.
"That's true, then let's aim for a discount, seven or eight will do."
"What are you talking about, how can you put a discount on such things!"
An Nuannuan puffed her cheeks and pinched the waist of this shameless guy.
"At least five then!"
"No way..."
"Then four, no less."
"That's still too many..."
"Three, you can't possibly think that's too many, right?"
"I... um..."
An Nuannuan blushed and lowered her head, instinctively touching her slightly plump belly. Actually, she was thinking one boy and one girl would be enough, but one more wouldn't be bad...
She touched her round belly, already feeling a hint of motherly love, but the suppressed laughter in her ear made her look up to see Xu Musen's mischievous expression.
Her face turned even redder, and she punched him lightly on the chest a few times: "You tricked me again, you bad guy."
Xu Musen pulled her into his arms. Indeed, no matter if a girl is genuinely naive or just pretending, she would still become clumsy when faced with such questions.
An Nuannuan nestled in his arms, her fingers poking his waist with some resentment.
"It wasn't easy getting here."
Xu Musen's voice was gentle as he whispered in her ear.
"Yeah..." An Nuannuan's body relaxed all at once. The whole day felt like a dream.
To finally wear this wedding dress, receive the blessings of friends and family, and have her favorite person kneel on one knee to put the ring on her finger...
They had been together for two years, but she had been looking forward to this moment for over twenty years...
The days of waiting, the regrets of the past, and the unachievable ideals all culminated in this moment of victory.
An Nuannuan held him tightly, fearing that if she let go, it would all turn out to be a dream, and she wouldn't be the main character of this story...
"Nuannuan."
Xu Musen could feel how tightly An Nuannuan was holding him and the slight tremor of her body. It was happiness tinged with the fear of losing.
This emotion... Xu Musen knew it well.
"Ah... I'm sorry..."
An Nuannuan loosened her grip a little but still held onto his arm.
Xu Musen gently stroked her head: "I won't leave you, and I'll never let you be alone again, never."
"Okay."
An Nuannuan nodded, sniffled lightly, and looked up at Xu Musen. It was great, all of this was real.
Seeing her like this, Xu Musen gently wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes: "Nuannuan, actually, I always wanted to ask you—when did you start truly liking me, or rather, why did you fall in love with me?"
