Protagonist:

Yan Qianqian

An Wangfei burst into delighted laughter upon hearing this. She had originally worried Shuang'er might tactfully refuse, after all, this wasn't such an easy decision to make.

She never expected Shuang'er to agree so readily—this truly delighted her beyond expectation! It seemed Qianqian was right; Shuang'er really did like Qi Yu very much!

An Wangfei laughed out loud with joy, quickly saying: "Good, good, good, leave this matter to mother! Eat quickly, don't go hungry." After speaking, she deliberately glanced at An Wang, who was eating with his head down beside her, her smug little expression as if saying: "Look, how capable am I! Quickly praise me!"

An Wang finally couldn't help but speak: "Wangfei, this is truly... truly..."

He scratched his head, thought for a long while, but still couldn't come up with a suitable word to describe it, finally squeezing out: "This matter was handled beautifully!"

Hearing this, An Wangfei's smile grew even more radiant; she no longer dwelled on it, and in a pleasant mood ate another bowl of rice.

After An Ning returned home, her mood was equally hard to calm, her face always beaming with a joyful smile. At the dining table, Qi Hongtian noticed An Ning's unusual state and asked with concern: "An Ning, did everything go smoothly today when you went to An Wang Fu?"

An Ning immediately replied with a beaming smile: "Smooth, very smooth! Simply beyond imagination how smooth!"

Qi Yu, who was eating beside them, upon hearing his mother's words, unconsciously lowered the sound of his chewing, pricked up his ears, and secretly listened to his mother and grandfather's conversation.

After hearing An Ning's reply, Qi Hongtian was also very pleased, so he continued to ask: "Then how is the situation now?"

An Ning excitedly replied: "After finishing the meal later, I'll go prepare the betrothal gifts, and then go propose to Yu'er as soon as possible!"

Upon hearing this, Qi Yu's ears immediately turned red, and he said somewhat shyly: "Mother, you didn't discuss this with Wangfei Auntie and force Shuang'er into the decision, did you? Shuang'er... she is truly willing, right?"

An Ning naturally understood her son's thoughts; he was worried Shuang'er wasn't truly willing to marry him, but was yielding to parental orders. An Ning described with animated eyebrows how An Wangfei had looked today as if she had something to say but held back, and when she mentioned An Wangfei saying Qi Yu was exactly the person Shuang'er admired, An Ning deliberately stole a glance at Qi Yu.

This glance surprised An Ning somewhat. Only to see Qi Yu's entire being as if surrounded by pink bubbles; that appearance was just like a youth fallen into the river of love, his face full of happiness and shyness. Moreover, the more An Ning looked, the more she felt Qi Yu looked rather dim-witted at this moment, completely lacking his usual shrewdness and steadiness.

After An Ning finished speaking, Qi Hongtian nodded with satisfaction, saying "good" three times, then praised: "Still, you, An Ning, are the smartest, and the most reliable in handling matters." Then he said: "This afternoon I'll send someone to add some betrothal gifts for you; we can't be short."

An Ning hurriedly replied: "Rest assured, I will definitely handle this matter well." Qi Hongtian smiled and nodded, saying: "You handle matters, I naturally rest assured."

After saying these, everyone continued eating happily. As for Qi Yu, he happily immersed himself in his own world, completely unaware of the movements around him. He only kept grinning foolishly, even pushing the rice in his bowl clean with his chopsticks; the sound of chopsticks hitting the bowl was especially resounding on the quiet dining table.

Only at the end did Qi Yu suddenly come back to his senses. He hurriedly glanced around secretly, but just happened to meet An Ning's gaze. Seeing this, An Ning immediately acted like a guilty thief and hurriedly withdrew her gaze.

Qi Yu saw his mother's gaze that seemed smiling yet not, slightly teasing, and couldn't help but feel flustered; his cheeks instantly flushed red. He hurriedly said: "I'm finished eating." Before his voice faded, he slipped away like oil on the soles of his feet, stood up first, and quickly walked out of the room.

After Qi Yu's figure disappeared at the door, An Ning finally couldn't hold back any longer and laughed "hahaha." Her laughter was clear and pleasant, like silver bells, echoing in the room.

Qi Ling beside her saw this and looked at An Ning with a face full of suspicion, asking in confusion: "What's wrong with you? Why suddenly laugh like this?"

An Ning stopped laughing and told Qi Ling exactly what she had just seen. After Qi Ling finished listening, he was first stunned, then exchanged a glance with his father Qi Hongtian, and both let out a soft laugh in unison.

This meal ended happily amidst everyone's laughter and chatter.

After lunch, An Ning originally intended to lie on the bed and rest for a while as usual. However, when she truly lay on the soft bed, she found her thoughts like a wild horse unbridled, completely unable to calm down.

Various questions related to the wedding kept appearing in her mind, such as what betrothal gifts should be prepared appropriately? On which day should the wedding day be set?

Should they directly choose an auspicious day and good hour, or first check both people's Bazi, then ask someone to calculate before it would be more proper? Which relatives and friends should be invited to the wedding feast?

Also, should the proposal wait until Xi Xi returns before going together?

These questions swirled in An Ning's mind and wouldn't leave, making her toss and turn unable to sleep. Finally, she simply gave up the idea of a nap, scrambled up from bed, and instructed her personal maid Yatou to go to the warehouse to count the betrothal gifts.

However, in the afternoon, An Ning suddenly remembered Xi Xi's matter, so she hurriedly had someone call Qi Yu over. After Qi Yu arrived, An Ning impatiently asked: "When can Xi Xi return?"

It turned out that yesterday after Qi Yu delivered the ginseng he had already returned. Originally, he had planned to tell An Ning this, but at that time he saw An Ning seemed to be pondering something all along, not responding even after being called twice, so he simply didn't mention it anymore.

She never expected that today An Ning would think of this matter again and ask him about it. Qi Yu thought for a moment and replied: "The doctor said, estimated after using the ginseng, in another two or three days, her grandmother will recover about the same, then Xi Xi can return."

After hearing this, An Ning felt somewhat relieved. She pondered for a moment and said to Qi Yu: "Like this, tomorrow you and mother will go visit Xi Xi together, and by the way check on her recovery."

After all, the son's marriage was considered settled; going to tell her grandmother a word, presumably she would be very happy, which would also be good for her body's recovery.

Moreover, although the ginseng had already been sent over, An Ning had ultimately not seen it with her own eyes, and still felt somewhat uneasy in her heart. Plus the distance wasn't far, so she decided to still go see it personally.
