Fang Ya gave Shao Xiang a few instructions. Shao Xiang then brought the two children to the west room to read some books and newspapers.
Shao Xiang poured a glass of water for He Feng and sat down. He Feng looked at Fang Ya, his eyes flashing slightly.
The two of them did not speak for a moment. The air froze for a moment, and both of them felt a little awkward.
After a moment, Fang Ya spoke first, “You don’t have to care too much about what those people said, and there’s no need...”
He Feng stopped Fang Ya and said, “It’s not because of them!”
Fang Ya raised her eyebrows slightly, not knowing what He Feng was going to say. He Feng pondered for a moment and suddenly gulped down a cup of water.
He Feng placed the cup on the table and held his breath before saying, “I’m not a good talker, and I don’t know how to get along with women!”
“I’m too busy at work right now, and I really can’t spend too much time with you!” He Feng thought about it for a moment and continued, “But I know that you’re a good woman!”
“He Peng likes you very much too!” He Feng added.
Then, He Feng took a deep breath and asked, “So, I want to ask you this, can you marry me?”
Hearing He Feng’s words, Fang Ya hesitated for a moment and nodded. “Okay!”
Hearing that, a smile immediately appeared on He Feng’s face. His stern face suddenly became much gentler.
He Feng wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, “Then, I will arrange the wedding as soon as possible. If you have any requests, just say it!”
Fang Ya shook her head and said, “There’s no need to go through so much trouble!”
“We are both going through second marriages. There are some things that can be avoided,” Fang Ya looked at He Feng and said seriously.
“No way!” He Feng shook his head heavily and said disapprovingly, “Even if it’s a second marriage, it has to be a proper one!”
Fang Ya knew that He Feng was sometimes stubborn, so she relented.
“It’s up to you,” Fang Ya said obediently.
He Feng grinned even more broadly.
Just then, He Peng suddenly pushed the door open from outside. “Dad, Mrs. Fang, are you really getting married?”
He Feng turned his head and glared at his son. “Young man! How dare you eavesdrop outside the door!”
“I didn’t!” He Peng immediately denied.
“Are you a liar?” Fang Ya also looked at He Peng with slight anger.
He Peng immediately cowered. “Ms. Fang asked me to tell you that dinner is ready! I didn’t mean to eavesdrop!”
Fang Ya’s expression eased slightly. She took two steps forward and said to He Peng, “You can’t lie, understand?”
He Peng nodded heavily, and then asked again, “Are you really going to get married?”
Fang Ya nodded and said, “Yes!”
He Peng immediately jumped up, turned around, and ran to the kitchen. “Ms. Fang! Daddy and Mrs. Fang are getting married!”
“I’m going to have a new mother!” He Peng shouted excitedly.
Shao Xiang held a spatula and poked her head out of the kitchen. “Really? Then I’ll stir-fry a few more dishes! We’ll eat later!”
Tang Tang walked out of the house and looked at the excited He Peng in a daze, then looked at the kitchen. “Ms. Fang, is there anything delicious?”
Fang Ya looked at the chaotic house and turned to He Feng with a helpless and resigned smile.
He Feng also had a smile on his face. He seemed to have never seen such a smile on his son’s face.
He had also never felt such a lively atmosphere at home. Perhaps, his marriage to Fang Ya would bring some excitement to his life!
The family gathered around the table and happily ate a meal. He Peng could not hide the excitement on his face at all.
Shao Xiang also looked at He Feng and then at Fang Ya, and the corners of her mouth could not help but smile.
Tang Tang looked at the strange smiles on the adults’ faces with a confused look and also giggled.
Fang Ya and He Feng occasionally looked at each other, and both of their faces were also all smiles.
The meal was very enjoyable, making He Feng feel the taste of home that he had not felt for a long time.
It was late at night, and Fang Ya sent He Feng off.
The two of them walked to the entrance of the courtyard. He Feng gathered his courage and held Fang Ya’s hand. “I’ll arrange everything as soon as possible.”
Fang Ya nodded. “I’ll wait for you.”
The two of them said their goodbyes, and He Feng left under Fang Ya’s gaze.
The next day, the large woman came to Fang Ya’s house and chatted with Shao Xiang. Although the two of them were more than ten years apart in age, they had a lot of common topics to talk about.
The woman only knew that Shao Xiang was Fang Ya’s stepmother, so she was not very clear about Shao Xiang’s past. As the two of them chatted, Shao Xiang brought up the marriage between Fang Ya and He Feng.
“What? The two of them are getting married?” The woman stared at Shao Xiang with her eyes wide open.
“That’s great!” The woman slapped her thigh and said cheerfully.
Shao Xiang also nodded with a smile on her face.
