The two returned home, and Lin Jia's parents were still awake.
Seeing the two return, Lin Jia's mother said worriedly, "Are you two okay? Just ignore that Li Hui. If things get out of hand, he comes from a wealthy and influential family, we can't afford to offend them."
"Mother-in-law, don't worry, we're fine. We just gave him a lesson to teach him a lesson." Yang Yu said.
"I just think it's a bit too simple to get engaged to Lin Jia just like that."
"As long as I'm with you, it doesn't matter if we get engaged or not. I don't care about those superficial things." Lin Jia said with a happy smile.
"Since you don't care, let's go get our marriage license tomorrow." Yang Yu said with a smile.
"What?! At the very least, you should propose!" Lin Jia said with dissatisfaction.
"You see, women are just hypocrites. You obviously care deep down, but you won't say it out loud." Yang Yu teased.
"Hmph! I'm ignoring you!"
Lin Jia went back to her room in a huff.
Lin Jia's parents watched the young couple banter with smiles on their faces.
Yang Yu sat on the sofa and said, "Father-in-law, mother-in-law, after we get married, you should move in and live with us."
"We won't disturb your two-person world, we're happy as long as we see you happy." Lin Jia's father said with a smile.
"You two are getting old. How can you be without someone to take care of you? Even if you don't live together, we can live in the same neighborhood. That way, we can look after you." Yang Yu said.
"Nowadays, it's rare to find a young man as filial as you. It seems like our Jia Jia really didn't choose wrong this time." Lin Jia's mother said with a smile.
"That's settled then. When we have children, we'll need you two to help take care of them." Yang Yu said with a smile.
.........
They stayed at Lin Jia's home for two more days before returning to Chengdu.
After returning, Yang Yu kept thinking about how to propose, but he couldn't think of anything. He simply gave up.
One day, after dinner, Yang Yu suddenly pulled out a small box from his pocket. He opened it and faced it towards her. A delicate and dazzling diamond ring, shimmering with a dove-egg sized pink diamond, sparkled.
"I've been thinking about how to ask you, I wanted to give you a grand proposal, but then I couldn't figure it out. So here it is. Marry me, I can't wait any longer." Yang Yu knelt on one knee and looked at Lin Jia.
Lin Jia froze in place. She hadn't expected Yang Yu to suddenly propose to her. She had thought about how Yang Yu would propose, but she hadn't expected it to be so sudden, so unexpected.
Seeing Lin Jia frozen, Yang Yu joked, "If you don't want to, I'll take it back."
"You dare! Hmph! Put it on me quickly." Lin Jia said, extending her hand.
After putting on the ring, Lin Jia couldn't stop smiling, but she still muttered, "What?! You're so unromantic. Other people make their proposals so romantic, and you just propose at the dinner table."
"Fine, I'll take the ring back." Yang Yu pretended to be angry.
"There's no such thing. You're already proposing, how can you take the ring back? Don't even think about it." Lin Jia said proudly.
Lin Jia looked at the diamond ring on her finger, took a picture of it, and quickly posted it on her Moments to show off.
"Quit your job and come back to Mo Du with me. We'll get married, and then we'll pick up your parents. We'll live close by, so we can look after each other." Yang Yu said to Lin Jia with love in his eyes.
"Okay, I'll do whatever you say." Lin Jia replied, her face full of happiness.
"So it's settled then." Yang Yu said with a smile.
"But what will I do if I quit my job? Will the headquarters let me be a housewife?" Lin Jia asked.
"If you don't want to stay at home and enjoy the good life, it's okay. You can do whatever you want. I'll support you." Yang Yu said.
"Maybe I can open a coffee shop with Ding Dian? Should I ask her to come to Mo Du with me to open a coffee shop? She's my only good friend. I don't want to go to Mo Du without even a friend to talk to." Lin Jia said with a hint of disappointment.
"Okay, you can do whatever you want." Yang Yu said with a smile.
This was something he had discussed with Ding Dian before. In order not to be separated from Yang Yu, Ding Dian had specifically talked to Lin Jia. He didn't know how they had talked, but Lin Jia didn't have a single suspicion. Ding Dian was amazing.
=================================
ps: I originally wanted to write to chapter fifty, but then I thought about it, and all the main plot points are done. It would be meaningless to keep dragging it out. I will mention Meng Yun and Yu Fei in passing in the next chapter. I'll wrap it up in the next chapter and then start writing (You Who Came From The Stars).
