Jiang Nuan asked doubtfully, "You don't need to bring it home to try, it's too troublesome. I'll try it at the store. You come with me. It's a good opportunity for you to try on your groom's attire."
Speaking of this, Jiang Nuan remembered something else.
She placed all the allocated medicinal herbs into a small bag.
Then she pulled a tissue and picked up all the scattered debris from the floor, throwing them into the trash can. Only then did she say, "Speaking of which, we haven't had time to take wedding photos yet, nor engagement photos."
"Since you have time these few days, how about we go take engagement photos?"
Seeing that she was finally being proactive, Mu Jiu Chen smiled and nodded, "Wife, I couldn't wish for anything more."
He had long anticipated the scene of their wedding photo hanging above their bed.
He had also prepared the bridal chamber where they would live, and he would personally decorate it, making Nuan Nuan the happiest bride.
Jiang Nuan smiled gently and stood up, her legs a little numb, her gait a bit awkward.
Mu Jiu Chen looked at her, shaking his head slightly, truly unable to take care of herself.
He also stood up, helped her to sit on the bed, and said, "Wife, I'll inquire about engagement photos tomorrow and see which studio is good. We'll arrange it for the day after tomorrow."
"But how about we go out tonight?"
Jiang Nuan looked at the dark night outside the window, a little confused, "It's already past nine o'clock, where are we going?"
Mu Jiu Chen took her hand and said gently, "Nuan Nuan, you'll know when we get there."
Jiang Nuan thought about it. She had been injured recently, and she had indeed neglected him. Seeing the hopeful look in his eyes, she smiled brightly, "Then let's go."
"Okay!" Mu Jiu Chen happily pulled her out the door.
They didn't need to bring the children. Going out often as a couple made him feel incredibly happy.
Xiao Fan was about to go to sleep when he received a call from Mu Jiu Chen, asking him to prepare the hotel.
He looked bewildered, "Didn't we say tomorrow?"
But he dared not object and quickly put on his clothes to go to the hotel to set up the proposal venue.
It was rare for this Old Mu to be romantic, and he really couldn't bear not to help him.
Xiao Fan had the hotel staff move all the prepared roses to the rooftop, where professionals quickly set up the venue and then promptly withdrew.
Before Xiao Fan left, he saw the romantic scene before him and felt incredibly good.
The day he had finally been waiting for had arrived. How could he be happier than the master?
Xiao Fan's eyes welled up. At this moment, he didn't even have anyone to talk to.
Chen Feng had an urgent mission and had gone abroad.
He could only enjoy his happiness alone.
Forty minutes later, Jiang Nuan and Mu Jiu Chen arrived at the hotel.
Mu Jiu Chen sent Jiang Nuan into the elevator and then said to her, "Wife, you go up first, I'll be right there."
Jiang Nuan didn't suspect anything. She reminded him to be careful and went directly to the rooftop.
Xiao Fan walked out from not far away, placed a bouquet of flowers in Mu Jiu Chen's hand, "Master, hurry up and go up there."
Mu Jiu Chen took the flowers, his handsome face still relatively calm, "Okay! Is everything arranged upstairs?"
Xiao Fan said excitedly, "Master, everything is arranged, good luck!"
Mu Jiu Chen tugged at his tie. He was dressed quite formally tonight, his suit sharp, his physique broad, exuding a sense of security.
The thought of proposing soon made him a little nervous, and his face felt a little hot.
Mu Jiu Chen: "Okay!"
He walked into the elevator, and Xiao Fan was teary-eyed.
"Oh my! Old Mu is finally becoming someone's husband." Xiao Fan wanted to send a message to Chen Feng, but remembering he was still on the plane, he gave up the idea.
Jiang Nuan arrived at the rooftop. This rooftop was different from the ones she had visited before; it was a glass house.
Green plants were planted on both sides, and pink camellias were blooming beautifully.
A faint, sweet fragrance permeated the air.
She really liked these camellias. Her grandmother's courtyard also had one, but over time, it had withered on its own.
Later, her grandmother no longer managed it, and the small flower bed lost its vitality.
As she walked a few steps, a hotel attendant walked over with a smile and pointed ahead, saying, "Madam, please go this way. Ninth Master is in the last room down the corridor. Just follow the red carpet."
Jiang Nuan said "Thank you" in a gentle voice and walked in the direction she indicated.
The girl standing behind Jiang Nuan was incredibly envious.
This was Ninth Master's wife; she was truly beautiful.
And she didn't have any arrogant airs at all. She looked like a gentle and kind woman.
"Ahhh..." the girl let out a shriek of excitement.
Jiang Nuan didn't hear it; her attention was on the scene ahead.
There were roses on both sides, adorned with fairy lights, and a red carpet was laid out in the middle, stretching as far as the eye could see, romantic and mysterious.
And on each bouquet of roses, a photo was placed, showing pictures of her from childhood to adulthood, each one filled with memories.
Jiang Nuan was very surprised. Mu Jiu Chen was...
She saw one photo where her face had some scratches, and she looked forward with resentment in her eyes.
That was a photo from her middle school days. Her face was still young, and her resentful gaze made her look incredibly world-weary.
She had gotten into a fight with classmates who used to bully her. There were five of them, and she was alone. Although she had practiced martial arts at that time, she wasn't skilled yet.
She only had brute strength, no technique, and her face was hit.
However, those classmates fared worse. After she beat them up once, they didn't dare to provoke her again.
Jiang Nuan looked at the photos one by one. These photos told the story of her past, the embarrassing moments, the happy ones, all of them were here.
She walked inward as she looked at them, each photo filled with memories.
Until she saw a photo taken in a shopping mall, and the person standing opposite her was Mu Jiu Chen.
Jiang Nuan found it a bit amusing. That was six years ago, the first time they met. She encountered him in the mall. He was mature, steady, with a stern handsome face. She had called him 'Uncle' for a long time.
Not to mention, she was still beautiful at that time, as pure and radiant as an eighteen-year-old.
As she looked down the path, the photos were all from after they met. From here on, every photo presented his happy smile.
Jiang Nuan knew what he meant: she, Jiang Nuan, was a beam of light in Mu Jiu Chen's life.
And he, Mu Jiu Chen, was also a beam of light in her, Jiang Nuan's, life.
From having nothing to being brilliant, he had accompanied her all along.
Before, it was not disturbing, just silent companionship.
Now, it was relying on each other, accompanying each other!
Finally, she reached the end of the corridor and walked across the flower-strewn floor towards the open room door.
A romantic atmosphere filled the surroundings, and soft music enhanced the mood.
Rose petals fell from the sky, and amidst the fluttering petals, Jiang Nuan smiled even more radiantly than the flowers.
She slowly entered the room. The lights were not on inside.
But she could feel Mu Jiu Chen was there.
She walked in with a smile, her heart beating faster with every step.
"Thump thump..." Jiang Nuan could hear her own heartbeat growing stronger.
Her mood was like looking at those photos, from a dark age to brilliant radiance.
Every moment was a deeply etched memory.
Just like stepping into this room, from darkness to brilliance, her emotions surged.
"Click..."
The lights in the room suddenly turned on, as dazzling as brilliant light.
In front of the floor-to-ceiling window, under the brilliant light, Mu Jiu Chen stood tall, holding a beautiful bouquet of roses, and looked at her with a gentle smile.
