Chapter 236 He reached out and gently pressed her against the cold elevator wall.
Chapter 236 He reached out and gently pressed her against the cold elevator wall.
Su Wan suddenly looked up and froze instantly.
The crying on her face stopped abruptly, and she stared blankly with her tearful eyes.
Tears still clung to her eyelashes as she blinked at Lu Chenyuan.
It was as if he hadn't heard what was said earlier.
"What...what did you say?"
Lu Chenyuan looked at her blank, pitiful, and adorable appearance.
My heart instantly melted into a puddle of water, completely and utterly soft.
The little girl in front of me is usually clever and dazzling.
But when it comes to things about him or the future, I become so insecure.
So anxious about gains and losses, even when happiness is right in front of you, you don't dare to reach out and hold on tight.
His heart ached whenever he thought of the unease hidden beneath her smile.
He felt sorry for her cautiousness, her self-doubt, and even more sorry that she was loved so much, yet still afraid of losing it.
He raised his hand, gently lifted her chin, and wiped away the tear stains on her cheek with his fingertips.
He looked directly into her eyes with utmost seriousness.
Each word was clear and solemn.
I said, "Let's get married."
"Let's get the marriage certificate first, and then we'll slowly hold the wedding ceremony for you later, giving you the grandest and most perfect one."
I was afraid she would overthink it, afraid she would feel it was rushed, afraid she would think that getting the marriage certificate was just a formality.
He immediately added, his tone calm and resolute.
"Don't worry, I will definitely not rush our wedding just because we have registered our marriage."
"Proposal, ceremony, wedding dress, banquet—I will make every single thing you've ever dreamed of come true for you, without missing a single step."
"The reason we're in such a hurry to get our marriage certificate is simply because—you're not the only one who feels insecure; I am too."
"Just like you, I'm afraid this happiness will slip away, afraid you'll overthink things, afraid that things might change if I wait too long. I want to solidify our relationship as soon as possible, to bind you completely to me, so that we can never be separated in this life, the next life, and the life after that."
"So, don't cry, silly girl."
The kind of separation you're imagining will never happen.
He gently rubbed her soft cheeks, his movements incredibly tender.
After saying that, he reached out and picked up the noodles she hadn't finished eating from the table.
I picked up my chopsticks, took a pinch, and gently blew on it to cool it down.
"Come on, I'll feed you."
"After we finish eating, we'll go look at houses, and after we see the houses, we'll go get the marriage certificate."
"Okay..." Su Wan replied softly, her voice trembling with tears.
The unease in my eyes gradually faded, replaced by a boundless sweetness and peace of mind.
Lu Chenyuan picked her up and carried her to sit on his lap.
He held her firmly with one arm and patiently fed her noodles with the other.
He blew on it to cool it down, then brought it to her lips.
His gaze remained fixed on her face the entire time, so tender it could drown a person.
Su Wan obediently opened her mouth and ate bite by bite.
Her eyes were still red, but the corners of her mouth couldn't help but turn up in a smile.
A simple bowl of green pepper and shredded pork noodles tastes sweeter and more delicious than any delicacy right now.
After breakfast, Su Wan felt like she was floating on clouds.
She ran briskly into the bedroom to change her clothes.
She chose a dress that made her look particularly elegant.
The soft colors and well-tailored cut made her figure appear even more slender and beautiful.
Coupled with the Saint Laurent bag that Lu Chenyuan had given her before, she looked exquisite and eye-catching.
She carried her bag and smiled as she twirled in front of Lu Chenyuan.
Her skirt fluttered gently, like a beautiful butterfly.
"Is it pretty?"
"nice."
Lu Chenyuan's gaze was intense, and his Adam's apple bobbed slightly.
"My Wanwan looks good in anything."
The two held hands tightly and went out sweetly.
As I stepped into the elevator, the doors slowly closed.
Only the two of them remained in the cramped space.
Su Wan immediately leaned softly into his arms as if she had no bones.
She wrapped her arms tightly around his waist, pressing her face against his chest.
She tilted her head back foolishly, staring at him and laughing nonstop.
Her eyes curved into two small crescent moons, brimming with unconcealed joy.
Are you really sure?
"Oh."
Lu Chenyuan chuckled softly, but did not reply verbally.
Instead, he responded with the most enthusiastic action.
He reached out and gently pressed her against the cold elevator wall.
He lowered his head, bent down, and kissed her fiercely.
They kissed passionately and forcefully, until both of them were breathless.
Their breaths mingled.
The entire elevator was filled with an ambiguous and sultry atmosphere.
Until the elevator descended, people on the lower floors wanted to take the elevator.
The door is about to open.
He reluctantly let go of her, but still held her tightly in his arms, refusing to let go.
Su Wan's cheeks flushed red, her heart pounded, and she didn't ask any more questions.
The answer is clearer than any language.
As soon as she stepped out of the building, Lu Chenyuan suddenly stopped and looked at her intently.
"Bring your household registration booklet and ID card."
"what?"
Su Wan was taken aback.
"Aren't household registration books no longer used?"
"It might not be necessary."
Lu Chenyuan said frankly.
"But just in case it comes in handy, so we don't waste time making unnecessary trips."
Su Wan nodded obediently.
"Okay, I'll go back and get it now."
After getting their documents and leaving the house again, Lu Chenyuan led her to the car, fastened her seatbelt, and casually asked...
Have you decided on a property development yet?
Su Wan's eyes immediately lit up, and she nodded emphatically.
"I've made up my mind! I already made it up when we were eating noodles!"
"It's a fully furnished apartment, and it's not off-plan; it's a completed property—you can move in right away!"
The moment the topic of houses came up, Su Wan's spirits lifted.
twitter.
I was so excited I couldn't stop.
"You know, that housing development is incredibly expensive, with prices per square meter exceeding 40,000! It's precisely because it's so expensive that there are still some unsold completed units left."
"If we pay the deposit today, we can do some simple tidying up and move in very quickly!"
"It's a fully furnished apartment, not a semi-furnished one. The materials used are all of very high quality, so you don't have to worry about decorating it yourself."
Her eyes were full of longing, and her tone was full of anticipation.
"That house has huge floor-to-ceiling windows. Standing on the balcony, you can see the river view directly. It's really beautiful."
"There's still one unit on the 29th floor that hasn't been sold yet. Standing on the balcony, you can see a large part of the city's night view."
"I'm not afraid of heights; I really love the feeling of climbing to a high place and looking out into the distance."
At this point, she suddenly remembered something and looked at him cautiously.
"But... I forgot to ask you, are you afraid of heights? The 29th floor, do you think you can handle it?"
As she spoke, she took out her phone, found the familiar real estate consultant's WeChat account, and looked up at Lu Chenyuan.
"If you're worried about heights, I'll have the sales consultant help us find other floors right now. The rest are all below the 15th floor."
Looking at her nervous yet expectant expression, Lu Chenyuan couldn't help but chuckle softly.
"I'm not afraid of heights, so feel free to choose. Whichever floor you like, we'll take it."
"Just tell her that once we arrive, we'll complete the formalities first, and then go up to see the apartment."
Su Wan was stunned, looking astonished.
"You...you're not even going to take a look yourself?"
"That's a large, single-level apartment, over 200 square meters, costing over eight million!"
Lu Chenyuan gently grasped her wrist, his eyes tender yet firm.
"Wanwan, whatever you like is fine. You make the decisions about these things at home, I don't mind."
"Don't worry, as long as you're there, it doesn't matter to me where I live."
"Home is where you are."
Su Wan lowered her head, her nose tingling, and she almost cried again from joy.
He's really getting better and better at sweet talk now; every word he says hits her right in the heart, making her incredibly moved at the drop of a hat.
He was completely different from the cold, silent, tongue-tied, and rigid Captain Lu he used to be.
"Then I told her that once she arrives, she'll give us the lowest discount, and we'll book right away."
"Then we'll go up and look at apartments. If things go smoothly, we can move in within a week."
"Um."
Lu Chenyuan nodded.
"Whatever you say, it's fine."
To be honest, Lu Chenyuan wasn't really interested in things like houses, cars, designer brands, or luxury goods.
Just like he wasn't particularly interested in dating in the first place.
His world used to consist only of missions, responsibilities, training, and work.
But now, seeing Su Wan so happy and excited because she is about to have a home, I can see the joy in her heart.
He suddenly felt a surge of anticipation for the house he had never seen before.
