Chapter 48:

Dong Shufen felt that something was wrong with her colleagues today. Every time she passed them by, they would be covering their mouths, snickering and grinning.

Its been like this since lunch. Out of curiosity, she asked some of them whether something was up, but they kept smiling without really answering her question. They were very secretive.

Since it seemed like she was the only one clueless, Dong Shufen felt a little afraid. She thought about whether she had something on her face, but she checked in the bathroom mirror and found nothing wrong with how she looked.

Then, she thought, maybe it was an inside joke that she didnt understand. She decided to wait for tomorrow to ask others.

However, she finally understood what was going on when she went out from work.

Dong Shufens workplace was at the far end of the factory, and it was quite far from the canteen. Today, because she had a lot of things to do, she asked her colleagues to help get her food. She then ate in the office and continued to work.

Because of that, she didnt see any changes in the factory.

From the basement of the building she worked in and all the way to the factory gate, everywhere was decorated lavishly as if for a special occasion. Rows and rows of baskets filled with roses lined the hallways, red ribbons dangled all over the trees, and beautiful rose lamps hung from the ceiling, dimly lighting the hallways in a romantic tint.

As Dong Shufen walked further and further, she came to realize there was no one around anymore but her, and started to panic. Who was going to propose? Did she accidentally get in the way of others?

She quickly rushed towards the exit, trying to get away quickly to not interrupt this event.

Suddenly, as she reached the gate, she saw Su Yuyang standing there, wearing a black suit and leaning against a jet black luxury limo.

Behind him were her colleagues, all uniformly wearing black suits and skirts. Then, there was also Su Yaotian with his little martial arts school team, very spiritedly dressed in the same manner.

As they saw her come out, the music started playing, and Su Yuyang spoke into a microphone.

Ms. Dong Shufen, would you be willing to go on a date with me?

The original owner and Dong Shufen fell in love at first sight, and Dong Shufen wasnt the kind of girl who could cunningly strike for love. Since she decided she loved him, she didnt mince her words and asked him about marriage immediately, so there was almost no romance between them.

They had only met three times before they confirmed each others feelings and got married.

Father Dongs and Mother Dong didnt even ask for a bride price. They only ever asked for the original owner to be good to their daughter.

Perhaps, because the Dong family was too kind and let the marriage happen so easily, he didnt cherish her properly.

Not long after the wedding, the original owner began to feel dissatisfied with Dong Shufen, and over time, they quarreled more and more.

The big reason why Dong Shufen could divorce so decisively was because they didnt really have any good memories to fall back to and reminisce together.

Now, Su Yuyang will give her the romance they lacked. He will woo Dong Shufen properly, to make her marry him willingly and accept himself as Tian Tians rightful, legal, blood, and internally approved father.

When Dong Shufen saw Su Yuyang like this, her heart, already hardened from years of hardship, thumped once again.

In truth, for any woman, there was none that didnt like this kind of romance.

Especially considering how Su Yuyang probably went through so much trouble to do this for her.

Earlier, before Su Yuyang spoke out, Dong Shufen panicked yet again.

She was afraid that Su Yuyang would propose in front of their child like this, because she didnt want to agree yet, and she couldnt accept Su Yuyang as of right now.

She was still aversive to Su Yuyang, and she has already made that clear to him. But, him suddenly doing something like this in front of everyone and the child makes her feel a little uncomfortable, and she felt forced by the situation.

Even if she agreed to his marriage proposal, she felt that she might not do so happily.

Just like before, although she fell in love with him at first sight, she didnt want to get married so soon. Back then, it was Su Yuyang who asked for thm to get married right away as he said that his mother couldnt wait, and falling in love after marriage was just the same.

But now, although she was in a difficult situation, what Su Yuyang said wasnt something she couldnt stand completely. He just wanted to go on a date with her and wanted to formally pursue her?

He Is he trying to make up for the promise he broke to her before?

The aversion she felt for him this whole while, at that moment, started to dissipate.

He brought in a lot of people to do this surprise for her, and what he was seeking was just this little bit of her time.

Su Yaotian was a big kid. He waved at Dong Shufen and climbed into another car to go back. He still had to send all his classmates home first, and then went home with Xiaomei.

Humph, he learned how to make the Delicacy For Chasing Heavenly Maidens from his Dad! This dish, if a girl eats it, she will definitely like him.

After working hard for so long, its time to show his true strength to the goddess!

Later, Xiaomei will surely be willing to go to and from school with him every day, do homework with him, go for a walk in the park with him on weekends, eat lollipops together, and when they grow up, they will be police officers and bring down the bad guys!

Su Yaotian, youre drooling.

Qin Xiaomei coldly reminded him from the side, handing Su Yaotian a wet tissue with a disgusted face.

Ah, Uncle Su is so smart and handsome, and Aunt Dong is so gentle and generous. How could their son be such a chuuni?

(TNote: Chuuni/ Chuunibyou = Eight grade syndrome/is a colloquial Japanese term typically used to describe early teens who have delusions of grandeur, who so desperately want to stand out that they have convinced themselves they have hidden knowledge or secret powers. Yes, she literally used that word hahaha!)

Ah? Heheh.

Scrambling to take the tissue, he wiped his mouth. Su Yaotian then looked at Qin Xiaomei.

Xiaomei, can I cook for you tonight?

Dad said that a man who cooks was the most handsome. Every time his Mom ate the food cooked by his Dad, her eyes were very gentle. He will certainly let Xiaomei see his most handsome side.

You?

Qin Xiaomei sneered. Someone who doesnt even know how tall he is is offering to cook for her?

Uh huh! Just wait and eat! I will cook the Delicacy For Chasing Maidens in Heaven and Earth!

Su Yaotian had a I can do it! expression.

Hearing that, the corner of Qin Xiaomeis mouth twitched. She was thunderstruck, thinking what the hell is the name of this dish? Who made it? It cant be Father Su. He is so wise and powerful that her parents say that he was a good man and a great hero. Why would a great hero do such a chuuni thing? Su Yaotian must have made this up.

My Dad taught me, and the name of the dish is also his original creation!

Su Yaotians metaphorical slap came quickly, and Qin Xiaomei felt that her face hurt a little.

Youre just going to let the two children stay at home like that?

Dong Shufen looked at the car that just left, feeling a little uneasy. In the end, the mother worries more for her children than the father.

Its okay. Trust my son. Besides, Ive asked Mom and Dad to come over and stay at my house, so they will be around if anything happens.

Su Yuyang had already arranged everything, and nothing shall disturb his date with Shufen. This first step was very important in determining whether he can catch his wife or not.

Well, Mr. Su, what do you have planned?

Dong Shufen was relieved. Sure enough, this man was doing things very steadily now. In the end, she was the one who worried too much.

When we get there, you will know.

Still so secretive?

A hint of expectation bloomed in Dong Shufens heart.

In fact, she has always loved these little surprises.

Its a great feeling when you receive a gift prepared by the other person with great care, not knowing what it was.

In the past, Su Yuyang didnt even so much as give her a present, let alone a surprise.

Now, she felt that many things could be different between them in the near future.
