The short word "good" and the gentle reply were the most beautiful sounds of nature in the world and the warmest rain in his heart.

Song Xi was ecstatic, and immediately hugged the girl tightly into his arms, his excited voice slightly trembling uncontrollably.

"Thank you... Yalan, thank you!"

Once his long-standing wish came true, all the anxiety was swept away. The man only felt elated and satisfied. No words in the world could describe his mood at this moment.

The originally illusory future has been firmly grasped by him, and he is fearless no matter how many thorns and bumps there are on the road ahead!

Yu Yalan clung to the man's chest obediently, listening to his excited and noisy heartbeat, she was also infected and jumped for joy.

The lowered hands hesitated for a moment, and finally held back the shyness and hugged the man's waist.

Feeling the girl's response, Song Xi couldn't help but hug the soft girl in her arms more closely.

Lowering his eyes to look at the hibiscus face stained with drunken red clouds, he lost himself in those watery eyes.

Unknowingly, the two people gradually got closer, and it wasn't until their warm and soft lips touched each other that they came back to their senses in shock.

Although it was just a brief kiss, it made both of their hearts skip a beat. The beautiful atmosphere created a bit of ambiguity and charm, and the obsessive gaze made people increasingly on the verge of losing control.

Song Xi looked up at the snow on the treetops, taking advantage of the cold winter wind to calm his heated mind, fearing that he would hurt his beloved girl in a moment of impulse.

Pursing his lips and quietly licking away the remaining warmth, he suppressed the excitement and aftertaste in his heart and put the engagement token into Yu Yalan's hand.

"This is a heirloom jade pendant from the direct line of the Hou family. My eldest brother and I both have one. We will give it to my wife after we get married, and she will pass it on to our eldest son in the future. Now...it is yours."

Song Xi's voice was a little hoarse, as if she was still immersed in the afterglow of just now.

Yu Yalan tried her best to ignore the numbness in her ears, but her fingertips holding the jade pendant could not help but tighten slightly.

The jade pendant is engraved with a unicorn pattern and is green and transparent. The Song family crest is also engraved on the back. You can tell at a glance that it is very valuable.

Yu Yalan raised her eyes and glanced at him, and said in a shy voice: "I will put it away, and then... I will also give you an engagement token in return."

As for the topic of her wife's eldest son after getting married, she chose not to talk about it. This topic was too out of line and she didn't know how to answer it at all.

Song Xi agreed repeatedly with a bright smile and asked softly about the next arrangements.

"When do you think it's a good time to get engaged? Although it's a bit unfair to you that the time is too short, I'm afraid it has to be done before New Year's Eve. Otherwise, there will be too many variables at the New Year's Eve, and unexpected troubles may occur."

Afraid that the girl would be unhappy and think that she didn't value her, Song Xi quickly added a few words: "Of course, if you think the time is not right, we can also postpone it until after the year. If anyone asks, just say

We've already been engaged and married in Xianping, so I guess they won't investigate further."

Yu Yalan lowered her eyes and thought about it. It was less than ten days before New Year's Eve. It was not too difficult to organize a simple engagement ceremony. Moreover, with the factual basis, she would be more confident to face the questions and temptations of the royal family and nobles, so she nodded.

Agree with Song Xi's suggestion.

"You can do it after tomorrow. If you can do it earlier, you don't have to worry about other people's plans."

Song Xi was overjoyed and immediately started to arrange it.

"I will take care of all the engagement matters and all the preparations. Just wait at home and wait at ease. If you need anything, just tell me. Whatever you need, I will try my best to provide it for you.

The weather has been too cold recently, and your clothes are a little thin. There are still some good fox furs in the warehouse. I will send someone over soon. You can see what style of cloak you like and let Biyun sew one for you.

…”

The newly appointed fiancé pulled his beloved woman, chattering sweet concerns, and slowly walked back to the guest house with leisurely footsteps, leaving pairs of footprints on the snow along the way.

After the engagement was confirmed, Song Xi immediately sent someone to notify Song's mother and Mrs. Song, and the family happily began to prepare the Three Letters and Six Rituals.

Although time was tight, Mrs. Song still found a Taoist temple she was familiar with, hoping to choose an auspicious day before the new year to send beautiful blessings to the newlyweds in love.

In the end, the Song family decided to hold a low-key engagement ceremony for the two of them three days later.

In order to prevent the news from leaking and causing complications, everyone agreed to notify relatives and friends only after the matter was settled. By then, even if the covetous financial wolf had any other conspiracies, they would have to avoid the risk of a head-on conflict with the Hou Mansion.

Mrs. Song transferred the ownership of a five-room luxury house under the name of the Marquis to Yu Yalan, intending to give it to her mother's family when she got married. She would also send the betrothal gift there when the document was passed. She even considered that Yu Hongxuan would be able to live in the capital after he became his biological son.

There is a place to stay.

Yu Yalan couldn't resist, so she had to quietly take over the house, secretly planning to prepare a generous return gift for the Song family when she accepted the offer.

Everyone in the Hou Mansion was busy preparing for the engagement, but Yu Hongxuan was stunned by the sudden news.

They were still discussing ways to investigate and deal with the enemy in the morning, so why did they suddenly decide to end Qin and Jin's relationship in the afternoon?

Surely only half a day has passed? He shouldn't have slept until half a year later, right?

Yu Hongxuan's face was full of disbelief. He turned around and confirmed today's date with the guard Luo Zhou.

The corner of Luo Zhou's mouth twitched, and he was speechless to persuade him to accept the reality.

His sister is about to be eaten by a big-tailed wolf, how can he accept the reality calmly?!

Yu Hongxuan felt unhappy and immediately walked towards the martial arts arena holding Song Xi's shoulders. Today, the two brothers had to talk about their ideals of life and their philosophy of life.

During dinner, everyone gathered in the main courtyard as usual.

Yu Hongxuan walked in the door dejectedly, followed by Song Xi who was in high spirits.

The two of them sat down next to Yu Yalan, one after another, and without saying a word, they began to secretly compete at the dinner table.

Yu Hongxuan deliberately competed with Song Xi for food. Wherever the other party's chopsticks fell, he immediately took away the dishes, refusing to let the big-tailed wolf have a peaceful dinner.

Who allowed this guy to crush him with force again and again?

My brother-in-law’s anger is not so easy to calm down!

Song Xi humbly tolerated him cheerfully, and even generously served Yu Hongxuan with food and wine, without any hint of displeasure on his face.

Mother Song and Mrs. Song both watched the children playing with smiles, and the atmosphere was warm and lively.

When Yu Yalan saw her younger brother chewing the delicacies viciously and bullying her tolerant fiancé from time to time, Yu Yalan immediately glared at her younger brother angrily, and then put all the food Song Xi liked on the plate in front of him.

Yu Hongxuan muttered "low emotional intelligence" angrily. From the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of his sister's eyes showing admiration and happiness, and the tight sourness in his heart quietly relaxed.

That’s all, this choice is actually not bad.
