Ni Xuanyi leaned against Li Yi's chest. She found herself liking him more and more, while Li Yi was becoming better at expressing his true feelings to her.

"You scared me like that today, I'm going to punish you!" Ni Xuanyi took the opportunity to be cute and make demands of Li Yi.

"How are you going to punish me" Li Yi smiled as he looked at her.

"I haven't thought it through yet. Once I have, I'll tell you..."

"You still want to punish me" Li Yi's eyebrows furrowed together. Suddenly, his tone turned serious as if he had remembered something. "Just now when I left you for a moment and that male employee was talking with you by the buffet counter, your expression looked so affectionate!"

"What are you talking about" Ni Xuanyi cried out in protest.

"Right just now, when both of you stood next to the buffet counter. Don't deny it! There's a surveillance camera here that I can call up for you to see." Li Yi squinted his eyes and made an intimidating face.

Ni Xuanyi suddenly remembered Pu Haiping, who was as insignificant to her as any random passerby. She could only laugh helplessly. "Oh! You mean him We didn't do anything. He's just a former colleague from my department at work. Today when I saw him here unexpectedly, he was quite surprised!"

"Just that simple" Li Yi's eyes seemed to pierce through Ni Xuanyi’s heart.

"He seems to like me, but I don't have any impression of him," Ning Xuanyi confessed helplessly.

Lǐ Yì finally seemed satisfied and pointed out very seriously, "Next time if you encounter him again, keep your distance. Such people are extremely unreliable."

"Yes, understood," Ning Xuanyi inwardly smiled. He was clearly his company's top executive, yet he was being described as unreliable.

Lǐ Yì brought Ning Xuanyi out of the hotel through a side entrance and drove her away. Seeing him driving personally, Ning Xuanyi secretly glanced at him but didn't speak to him; though she never doubted Lǐ Yì's driving skills, she wanted him to focus entirely on driving.

The car went straight into an upscale villa in the suburbs, entering through the main gate but stopping short of reaching the front door of the villa.

After getting out of the car, Lǐ Yì personally opened the car door for Ning Xuanyi and held her hand to lead her inside.

The exterior design of this villa was very elegant; small bridges crossed babbling streams, bamboo shadows swayed gently. The moon hung high in the sky like a silver plate, the breeze blew softly through, making everything around quiet and serene. Walking beside Lǐ Yì, Ning Xuanyi felt so happy she wanted to sing.

As they walked forward, tiny flickering candlelight appeared on both sides of the smooth path; candles placed inside crystal cups formed a light ribbon, with countless dew-covered roses lining it on either side all the way up to the villa's door.

The night wind blew gently, causing candle flames to sway and sending faint fragrance wafting through the air, creating an enchantingly dreamlike atmosphere.

Seeing everything around her, Ning Xuanyi found it hard to believe that Lǐ Yì could be so romantic. She looked at him with excitement and delight.

Liyi smiled slightly and kissed her face, "Xuanxuan, thank you for agreeing to be my wife."

Ni Xuanyi blinked her eyes. Shouldn't she be the one thanking Liyi for marrying her He was so good to her!

Liyi held Ni Xuanyi's hand with his big hand and led her along the flickering red light and rose-lined path into the villa.

The living room was spacious. Near the dining area, there was a long rectangular carved dining table covered in golden tablecloth, champagne chilling in an ice bucket, steam rising from the candlelight; silver candlesticks were placed at both ends, with slender crystal champagne flutes and a vibrant green rose blooming beside them.

Gentle music played softly inside the house, creating a romantic atmosphere like a fairyland, beautiful beyond description.

"Xuanxuan, my proposal just now was rather impetuous. With so many people around, you probably didn't have time to savor that moment. They say proposals under candlelight are the most romantic, and I plan on doing it again," Liyi, in a gentlemanly manner, pulled out a chair for Ni Xuanyi.

"Propose again" Ni Xuanyi thought of Liyi's one-knee proposal just now and felt rather apprehensive. "No need!"

"Yes, I will propose again," Liyi looked at Ni Xuanyi with an earnest expression filled with indulgence, "The previous proposal needed everyone as witnesses; this time it needs the heavens and earth to bear witness."

"There's no need for another proposal. We've already registered our marriage; we're legally married now. Let's quietly sit down and have some food," Ni Xuanyi really was a little afraid of such a grand proposal scene.

Liyi smiled, picked up a rose, walked over, held it out to pin behind Ni Xuanyi's ear, the fragrance of roses wafting around her. Liyi lowered his head and kissed Ni Xuanyi's cheek softly, "Xuanxuan, you are truly beautiful!"

Ni Xuanyi felt a shiver in her heart as Li Yi spoke again in his deep and gentle voice, "Xuanxuan, we are now husband and wife and can be together for life without ever parting..."

The two of them were deeply in love with each other. Ni Xuanyi turned to look at the moon in the sky; her years-long waiting and longing had finally been fulfilled. She wished that this moonlight, candlelight, fragrance of flowers, and feelings of affection would last forever.

In the evening, Li Yi and Ni Xuanyi stayed here. After drinking champagne, Ni Xuanyi felt dizzy and sluggish again; she was carried upstairs by Li Yi.

The large bedroom had a heart-shaped arrangement made with red roses, and in the big bathtub, water had been prepared with rose petals sprinkled all over it. This romantic scene was something every woman longed for. As Ni Xuanyi looked at everything around her, she could not help blushing.

She enjoyed a comfortable soak in the bath before seeing a set of crimson silk pajamas hanging on an hanger when she came out. When wearing them, it made her skin look even more fair and smooth, making her appear alluringly beautiful.

Ni Xuanyi looked at this semi-transparent outfit, feeling somewhat uneasy as she adjusted the collar before stepping out of the room.

Li Yi had been waiting for her at the bathroom door with a smile on his face. He cast a glance over Ni Xuanyi and tilted his head to one side, smoothing back her still slightly damp black hair with his hand. "Come, sit down, I'll blow dry your hair."

Ni Xuanyi obediently sat in front of the dressing table as Li Yi used a hair dryer to slowly dry her hair. As the strands moved, a delicate scent wafted over; gazing at the cute and fresh young woman before him, Li Yi felt a stirring heat rise within his body...

Wrapped in dark red silk pajamas, her body looked graceful and beautiful with delicate collarbones exposed. Her skin was like jade or snow, glowing softly... he could no longer wait; seeing that Ni Xuanyi's hair had dried almost completely, he put the hair dryer aside and reached out to pull her into his embrace.

Ni Xuanyi nestled in Li Yi’s arms with a shy, tender smile.indignant. He sat down and berated Li An: "Your wife ran away, and we were running around helping you look for her. When you weren’t in good spirits, we tried to comfort you with our warmth. Now that...
