Chapter 185
Qi Linhan felt a bit helpless, but could only obediently go and make food for Sui Yan.
That afternoon, when Xu Mo returned home from school, he was naturally overjoyed to see his long-unseen sister.
He circled around Sui Yan: "Sister, what would you like to eat? I\'ll make anything for you."
Qi Linhan said sourly from the side: "Your sister just finished eating the food I made."
Xu Mo gave a snort: "Could what you made be as good as mine?"
Sui Yan tapped her brother\'s head: "Don\'t be rude!"
Xu Mo snorted again, and turned to cuddle with Ti Zi to keep warm.
That evening, Sui Yan took Ti Zi along with her to meet at Qi Linhan\'s manor as promised.
It was also the place where Sui Yan died in her previous life.
Walking on this still familiar path, Sui Yan couldn\'t help but smile softly.
There were so many warm memories in this place.
Yet for her back then, these warmths could only be considered a comfort before death.
From afar, Ti Zi saw Qi Linhan standing ahead, and gently nudged Sui Yan with his paw.
Sui Yan came back to her senses with a start, also looking ahead.
At the end of this little path was a large patch of red roses.
Qi Linhan stood amidst the flowers, smiling warmly at her.
Sui Yan subconsciously walked over to him, until she stood right before him.
Qi Linhan took Sui Yan\'s hand, calling her tenderly: "Sui Yan."
Sui Yan couldn\'t help but smile: "Didn\'t I tell you that I\'m actually not that fond of roses?"
Qi Linhan was taken aback, pouting as he hugged Sui Yan: "You do like them!"
Sui Yan pushed him away: "I do like them."
Qi Linhan looked down at her: "If Sui Yan doesn\'t like them, then I\'ll prepare it again right away."
Sui Yan tapped him: "You only have this one chance."
Qi Linhan immediately turned serious, taking out an exquisite little box from somewhere.
He didn\'t open the box, but simply handed it to Sui Yan: "Sui Yan, in this box is a listing of all my assets. When do you have time, shall we go and transfer all of these to your name?"
Sui Yan looked at the little box in her hand, smiling: "Qi Linhan, you know that\'s not what I want."
Qi Linhan said calmly: "Of course I know, these are just what I want to give you first."
He looked deeply into Sui Yan\'s eyes: "Sui Yan, I\'ve thought about it for a long time, and I can give you an accurate answer... I love you, I love you so, so much."
"The reason I took so long wasn\'t because I was unsure of my feelings, but because I was thinking about how to make you feel at ease, how to give you a sense of security with me."
"Perhaps the way I was good to you back then wasn\'t right, and didn\'t give you the courage to live for me. But this time, I will love you properly. From now on, shall we be together?"
"Whenever you\'re willing to marry me, I will definitely hold the grandest wedding for you."
Sui Yan blinked away the moisture in her eyes. She said with a slightly nasal voice: "Qi Linhan, I thought you would propose to me directly."
Qi Linhan\'s eyes were also getting hot. He hugged Sui Yan: "I was afraid you wouldn\'t say yes to me. Let\'s be together first, and when you feel secure enough with me, I\'ll propose then. Okay?"
Sui Yan\'s voice seemed to carry a hint of tears: "Okay."
Not far away, on the rooftop, a man dressed in white stood there.
He lowered his gaze, gazing tenderly at the embracing couple below.
He gently brushed aside the hair on his forehead, the corners of his mouth curved slightly: "Yan Yan, I should leave now. You must take good care. We\'ll... meet again next time. Next time, I definitely won\'t leave you."
...
When everyone thought Sui Yan would break down after Ti Zi disappeared, she only seemed a bit dazed.
Qi Linhan carefully took Sui Yan\'s hand: "Sui Yan, we\'ll definitely find Ti Zi."
Sui Yan looked somewhat lost: "We can\'t find him, we won\'t be able to find him."
So... those weren\'t illusions before? That really was Ti Zi!
She wiped her eyes: "I just knew Ti Zi was the strongest!"
Xu Mo came running over, clenching something in his palm: "Sister, look at what this is?"
Sui Yan looked over blankly, only to see a small silver pendant lying in her brother\'s palm, with a tiny wolf and a cute little pup engraved on the pendant.
Xu Mo then opened his other hand: "And this."
It was a note. Sui Yan gently unfolded the note, only to see written on it...
[Little lady, a belated gift for your 20th birthday.]
—The End—
