Try Saying You Don't Like It - Chapter 49

Chapter 49

“My turn?” Yin Qiuman’s words stunned everyone present.

Lin Yue was the first to react.

“Wow, a double proposal!”

No one had expected Yin Qiuman to have prepared a ring as well.

Without He Xinglan’s flashy arrangements, Yin Qiuman was much simpler.

She took the ring out of her bag and put it straight onto He Xinglan’s ring finger, not even waiting for He Xinglan to say ‘I do.’ It was incredibly domineering.

He Xinglan stared blankly at the ring on her left ring finger. She… was just proposed to like that?

Wait, Yin Qiuman proposed just like that?

Compared to her own proposal, He Xinglan was both amused and speechless.

Standing face to face, He Xinglan said: “Manman, you’re a bit too… too impatient, aren’t you?”

“Mhm, because I really, really wanted to bring you home.”

“I started wanting to the moment we met again,” Yin Qiuman had a faint smile on her lips, but her eyes held a very intense desire.

“Hey, no matter when you two started wanting it, now that your double proposal is successful and the big deed is done, shouldn’t you let us guests have a hot meal?” Lin Yue didn’t want to watch the sickeningly sweet and enviable scene between He Xinglan and Yin Qiuman. She clapped her hands, completely ruining the beautiful moment with her lack of tact.

“Right, right, everyone’s been busy all morning.” He Xinglan snapped out of it and quickly turned on the room lights, revealing the full scene of the proposal everyone had painstakingly arranged.

It was a common scene from television, but Yin Qiuman loved it.

It was also at this moment that Yin Qiuman realized her parents were there too.

“Dad, Mom.” Thinking of her nearly overbearing actions just now, Yin Qiuman looked somewhat embarrassed facing her parents.

Sensing her daughter’s unusual mood, Leng Ci and Yin Huaishan exchanged a look. Leng Ci stepped forward, holding her daughter’s hand, and said sincerely: “Manman, congratulations.”

“Good job. You are indeed my daughter, Yin Huaishan. I won your mother over the same way back then,” Yin Huaishan patted his daughter’s shoulder, feeling gratified.

Yin Qiuman’s taut nerves relaxed. Her eyes were gentle as she looked at her parents and asked with concern: “Mom and Dad, when did you arrive? Why didn’t you call me so I could pick you up?”

“We don’t need you for that now,” Yin Huaishan said chuckling: “We have Xingxing.”

“Xingxing already arranged everything you mentioned. She told us about the proposal and the move, booked our train tickets to Qingcheng, picked us up at the station, arranged a hotel for us, and then picked us up from the hotel early this morning to bring us here. She is much more meticulous and thoughtful than you.”

It wasn’t that Yin Huaishan thought poorly of his daughter, but compared to before, He Xinglan’s efforts far exceeded their expectations.

It allowed them to see He Xinglan’s sincerity repeatedly, making them immensely confident in handing their daughter over to her.

It could be said that the smooth sailing of He Xinglan and Yin Qiuman’s relationship was entirely due to He Xinglan’s own efforts.

Yin Qiuman watched He Xinglan’s busy figure and responded emphatically to Yin Huaishan’s words: “Xingxing is indeed more meticulous and thoughtful than I am.”

“Dad, Mom, wanting to be with Xingxing is the most correct decision I’ve made in my life.” Facing her parents, Yin Qiuman’s eyes held an unprecedented firmness.

“That is your good fortune.”

The meal in the new house was happy and lively.

The proposal was also very successful, so planning the wedding naturally followed.

The adults on both sides felt there was no need for an overly grand ceremony. Society was not that accepting of same-sex couples yet, so they opted for a small-scale event, inviting only close family relatives.

As for the wedding arrangements, the elders on both sides took charge.

Yin Qiuman was busy with work and only needed to try on wedding dresses with He Xinglan and choose the style of the wedding venue decorations for minor tasks in her free time.

Lin Yue was the first to volunteer to be a bridesmaid.

She even secretly pulled He Xinglan aside.

“Hey, remember to throw the bouquet to me later.”

“Throw it to you?” He Xinglan looked at Lin Yue in surprise, then quickly gossiped, having realized something: “Did you succeed in your pursuit?”

Lin Yue grinned at He Xinglan proudly: “Of course! Is there anyone Lin Yue can’t catch?”

Lin Yue was very confident in her abilities.

Her only mistake was that this particular chase wasn’t easy and took much longer than usual.

Seeing Lin Yue’s attitude, He Xinglan cautiously asked: “Lin Yue, are you… serious this time or…?”

Lin Yue instantly understood what was on He Xinglan’s mind when she saw her hesitant look. She rolled her eyes and said decisively: “Of course, I’m serious!”

“Seeing you so happy, my sister, I, Lin Yue, also want to taste the sweetness of love. So…” Lin Yue said, patting He Xinglan’s shoulder heavily: “I am genuinely serious this time.”

“She’s great. I think I’ve fallen into the trap she set and can’t get out,” Lin Yue said, a smile unconsciously appearing at the corners of her mouth, completely engrossed without realizing it.

He Xinglan finally felt relieved.

She had found happiness, so she wanted the people around her to be the same, and Lin Yue was her best friend.

“When there’s a chance, I’ll bring her to meet you two.”

The first meal in the new house was undoubtedly lively. The two families kept the celebration going until six in the evening before slowly dispersing.

Leng Ci and Yin Huaishan were taken home by He’s father and mother. They absolutely refused to let the two stay in a hotel again.

On the way back, they didn’t stop complaining about He Xinglan’s lack of consideration: How could she arrange for her in-laws to stay in a hotel?

Lin Yue drove herself to the bar.

She used to be dedicated to work because of the girls she liked there. Now, she was working hard and earning money for the person she loved.

After the excitement subsided, He Xinglan and Yin Qiuman did a simple tidying up of the new house. He Xinglan had already hired a cleaning lady for the deeper cleaning.

Yin Qiuman was washing up in the master bathroom, and He Xinglan went to the guest bathroom. They met up in the master bedroom afterward.

The two changed into identical pajamas, their eyes met, and they burst into bright smiles.

“Manman.”

“Xingxing.”

“We have a home,” He Xinglan and Yin Qiuman said the same thing to each other, as if sensing the other’s thoughts.

A home that belonged only to the two of them.

After the emotional moment, He Xinglan started to get restless.

“Manman, our first night in the new house must be special.” He Xinglan wrapped her arms around Yin Qiuman’s waist from behind while Yin Qiuman was doing her skincare routine in front of the mirror.

Yin Qiuman paused her motion of patting water onto her face. She had some guesses about what He Xinglan would say next but was still very much looking forward to it.

“I saw you in that dress today, and you looked absolutely, especially beautiful, so I was thinking…” He Xinglan’s voice, whispering next to Yin Qiuman’s ear, became softer and softer, but Yin Qiuman heard every word clearly.

Sexy, lingerie, and cat ears…

He Xinglan didn’t know when she had bought these things. After Yin Qiuman agreed, she excitedly pulled them out of the closet and pushed Yin Qiuman back into the bathroom.

Yin Qiuman stood in the bathroom, looking at the clothes in her hands—a thin layer like paper, in black and white with lace… First her ears, then the heat slowly spread to her face, and then every inch of skin all over her body was warming up.

Yin Qiuman’s eyes held an unconcealable shyness. She bit her lower lip several times, released it, and bit it again. After constant internal struggle, she finally put on the outfit.

Outside the door, He Xinglan was unusually impatient, constantly urging Yin Qiuman in the bathroom: “Manman, are you ready?”

She wished she could go in and change Yin Qiuman into the clothes herself.

In fact, He Xinglan genuinely regretted not following Yin Qiuman into the bathroom earlier.

Inside the bathroom, hearing He Xinglan’s urging, Yin Qiuman glanced at the clothes on her body, hesitated repeatedly, and finally opened the bathroom door.

He Xinglan had already pricked up her ears. When she heard the sound, her gaze immediately shifted.

The next second, she froze, her breathing gradually becoming heavier and heavier. She stared at Yin Qiuman’s eyes, unwilling to blink even once.
