Chapter 235: Shall We Get Married?

Night, Fengcheng.

Bai Shunan came out of the company and saw a black sedan parked outside.

She recognized it at a glance; it was Gu Yunting's car.

She smiled, then walked straight over, pulled open the car door, and sat inside.

Inside the car, Gu Yunting was stunned for a moment, then asked, "So proactive today?"

Usually, Bai Shunan would either come over to tease him a bit or pretend not to see him, making him drive alongside her for a stretch before she would agree to get in.

Bai Shunan smiled and said nothing.

"Don't need to accompany your sister today?" Gu Yunting asked.

The past few days when he asked her out, she always said she had to accompany her sister.

Bai Shunan said, "My sister went back; her husband flew a plane here himself to pick her up this morning."

"So happy?" Gu Yunting said. "Then are you envious?"

"I don't have that kind of fate," Bai Shunan said.

Gu Yunting changed the subject: "Where do you want to go in a bit? Get a late-night snack or go home?"

Bai Shunan said, "Let's go home. I don't want to eat anything tonight; I'm too full."

"Alright, then I'll take you back."

Gu Yunting drove, and they soon arrived at the residential complex where Bai Shunan lived.

When the car stopped, Bai Shunan did not get out immediately.

Gu Yunting spoke up: "How about you invite me up to sit for a while? I haven't been to your new home yet."

Bai Shunan paused.

A woman inviting a man upstairs to sit for a while—surely even a fool would understand what would happen next.

Yet she only hesitated for a moment before agreeing: "Alright, then you can come up."

Gu Yunting's mouth immediately curled into a grin he couldn't close.

At home.

Because Bai Shuruo and Xiaofeng had left suddenly that morning, there were still toys left in a mess by Xiaofeng.

Bai Shunan said, "The place is a bit messy, please bear with it."

Gu Yunting, however, said, "This is the atmosphere a home should have."

There were open snacks on the coffee table, scattered toys on the floor, and a blanket on the sofa had half-fallen to the ground; these were things Bai Shuruo was supposed to tidy up, but she had to return to Beishi suddenly and didn't have the time.

Bai Shunan tidied up as she said, "You think so too?"

Gu Yunting walked in front of her, pulled her into his embrace, then circled her slender waist, lowered his head, and pressed his nose against hers: "A home with children, and then a man, will feel even more like a home."

Bai Shunan smiled and pushed him away: "We haven't reached that step yet."

He pulled her back into his arms: "No matter which step, in any case, you have already invited a wolf into the house. Don't you think the person standing in front of you is very dangerous?"

Bai Shunan smiled: "Are you sure it was me inviting a wolf into the house, or you throwing yourself into the net?"

"No matter which it is, the result is the same."

Gu Yunting gave a light push, and Bai Shunan lay back on the sofa; then, the two rolled together.

Two hours later, the battlefield moved from the sofa to the bedroom.

Like dry wood and raging fire, they burned through the last bit of heat, and then the two lay together in an embrace.

Bai Shunan didn't even have the strength to speak; she just stared blankly at the ceiling.

Gu Yunting asked her as if claiming credit: "Do you feel that my prowess hasn't diminished from years past?"

Bai Shunan said, "Suddenly, I'm a little hungry."

"Order takeout?"

"That works."

After lying there for a while longer, Bai Shunan went to wash her hair and bathe.

The takeout arrived, and the two ate Fengcheng stir-fried rice noodles and seafood porridge in Bai Shunan's dining room.

Gu Yunting saw a piece of green onion stuck to Bai Shunan's face; he couldn't help but take a napkin to wipe it for her. After wiping it, he said to Bai Shunan, "Nannan, why don't we get married?"

Bai Shunan paused and said, "What's so good about marriage? Once married, I'd have to have children and help you manage the household. I only want a long-term partner; a short-term one is fine too."

Gu Yunting couldn't help but be furious: "Bai Shunan, you scumbag woman."

"It's not like anyone else isn't a scumbag. Don't fall in love with me; there won't be a result. If you don't want to be slept with for free, then don't come up next time."

Gu Yunting said angrily: "Fine, a partner, right? Then tell me your home's passcode. From now on, I'll be at your beck and call, okay? Or, I can also come up to live with you; whenever you have a need, you can call me at any time."

Bai Shunan finished eating, wiped her little mouth, and said: "Then you clean up the trash; I'm going to sleep first."

Gu Yunting: "..."

Bai Shunan woke up, and the sky was already bright; Gu Yunting was not by her side.

Presumably, he was scared off by her proposal last night.

Bai Shunan smiled.

At the same time, she asked herself: Do I really not want to get married?

She was 32 this year; a 32-year-old woman is not old at all, but people are very complex creatures. When young, everyone shouts about not wanting to marry, not wanting to get married, and not wanting children, but once they reach a certain age, their thoughts change again.

Just like many elderly people raising their grandchildren, they spoil them much more than they did their own sons back then. In fact, it's not that the bond is closer across generations, it's just that when the age is reached, the heart naturally likes children.

Bai Shunan went to the living room and saw Xiaofeng's toys in the living room; these toys had already been tidied up. Among them was a little bear with its arms stretched out asking for a hug. Bai Shunan saw this little bear and felt like she was seeing a small child.

If she were to have a child in the future, she would have one as cute as this.

Beishi.

Bai Shuruo had been clinging to Han Yangting for the past two days, hanging onto him whenever she had the chance, as if she were an accessory on his body.

Her voice was sweet and coquettish, calling him either "Brother Ting" or "Brother Jing."

She said that for their second child, they should name him Han Xiaojing.

Han Yangting had no choice but to indulge her; as for work and the like, it was the same if he left it for his subordinates to do.

Han Dongbei and Ye Caiyue always felt like they were third wheels; whenever they saw the young couple, the old couple would quickly hide to avoid being caught in the crossfire.

However, they finally felt at ease in their hearts now; their son and daughter-in-law had finally reconciled, and from now on, harmony in the family would lead to prosperity in all things.

……

Fengcheng.

Bai Shunan was at work today.

It was strange; after being tossed about for so long these past two nights, she did not feel tired at all today.

She was in the middle of a meeting when she heard a "rumble" sound coming from outside the window, which sounded like the noise of a small helicopter.

There were often small helicopters over the city; in the past, they were used to distribute flyers for advertisements, but that was now prohibited, as distributing flyers was not only bad but also a nuisance to the public.

However, this "rumbling" sound made it very difficult for them to concentrate on the meeting.

"Xiao Zhang, go and close the window," Bai Shunan instructed the Secretary.

The Secretary went to close the window, and at that moment, she suddenly froze.

"General Manager Bai, there is writing on that aircraft!"
