Chapter 221 Happiness knocks on the door
"Do you think my proposal isn't formal enough? I know, but I'm just giving you a heads up now. I'm not really proposing. I'll prepare a surprise for you."
"I will buy a diamond ring and roses, I will get down on one knee, I will..."
"No, I'm just not ready yet." Zhou Yian interrupted Xu Zehao.
She admitted that she loved Xu Zehao very much now, but when she heard him say that they wanted to get married, her first reaction was not happiness, but uneasiness.
Love can be unconditional, but marriage cannot be. She is too aware of the gap between them.
Judging from the rumored girlfriends previously exposed by the media, those who match him are either female celebrities who are well-known in the entertainment industry, or top wealthy socialites who are of the same social status as him.
He is a wealthy and noble young man from a prominent family, while she is the daughter of an ordinary family. There is a huge difference between the two.
Even if Xu Zehao said he didn't mind, what about his family? How could he not mind?
Can you accept that he found such an ordinary and common woman to be his wife?
Will marrying him be a burden to him?
All of this is what Zhou Yian is worried about, she is afraid.
"Not ready? An An, you don't need to prepare anything, you just need to trust me." Xu Zehao's eyes were firm, as if as long as Zhou Yian nodded, he would be fearless.
After hesitating for a moment, Zhou Yian finally asked, "Xu Zehao, will your family agree to our marriage? You haven't even introduced me to your family yet."
Xu Zehao fell silent, his expression instantly becoming desolate. He stood up and walked to the window, frowning as he sighed, "An An, it's not that I don't want to take you to meet my family, but my parents have been dead for many years."
Zhou Yian widened his eyes in disbelief. She had always thought that he didn't bring her home to meet his parents because he didn't want his family to interfere in his marriage.
Zhou Yian felt a little guilty, "I'm sorry, Xu Zehao, I didn't know about this."
"It's okay, An An, after we get married you will be my family and I will have a home."
When talking about the word home, Xu Zehao's eyes lit up.
Looking at Xu Zehao's expectant eyes, Zhou Yian did not refuse this time. She nodded slightly.
"Xu Zehao, as long as you are willing to marry me, I am willing to marry you. I don't need diamonds or roses."
"I only want you. Can you never betray me or let me down?" Zhou Yian choked up a little when he was moved.
"Really? Yes, An An, I swear." Xu Zehao was overjoyed. The reversal happened too quickly.
Zhou Yian said firmly: "Really."
The next second, her body flew into the air, and Xu Zehao excitedly gave her a princess hug.
Zhou Yian was so scared that she quickly put her arms around his neck. Xu Zehao excitedly hugged her and spun around twice before stopping.
His forehead rested against Zhou Yian's forehead, their eyes met, their breaths intertwined, and they could see the love and desire in each other's eyes.
"An An, I love you, very much." Xu Zehao's arms around Zhou Yi also tightened a little, and then his lips covered Zhou Yi'an's lips.
Zhou Yian closed her eyes and indulged in the tenderness he gave her. This was the first time she gave herself to Xu Zehao without reservation, both her body and her heart.
After returning from the beach, Xu Zehao began to plan a proposal ceremony that Zhou Yian would remember for the rest of his life.
Zhou Yian also decided to let Xu Zehao officially visit Zhou's mother next year as her boyfriend.
When she told Zhou's mother that she had a boyfriend and was in love, Zhou's mother cried with joy. She had been looking forward to this day for a long time.
My husband died early, and my daughter has been well-behaved and sensible since she was young. She has suffered a lot of hardships and grievances with me.
After finally raising my daughter and getting her to graduate from college, just when things seemed to be getting better, I fell and became paralyzed in bed.
She had watched how Zhou Yian had gotten through the past few years, but she hated herself for not being able to help her in any other way except feeling sorry for her daughter.
Now that her daughter is finally willing to have a relationship, she is happier than anyone else. There will be someone to take care of her in the future.
"An An, what do you think I should wear tomorrow?"
Zhou Yian looked at the clothes on the bed, then looked at his mother, and smiled helplessly, "Mom, tomorrow is just an ordinary meeting. I'll bring him to see you."
"You don't have to be so exaggerated. This is a formal dress and a cheongsam. It's too grand."
"Oh, An'an, you don't know how long your mother has been looking forward to this day. This boy is coming to our house for the first time. If I don't act formal, he will think that our family doesn't value him and doesn't like him."
Mother Zhou didn't listen to Zhou Yian. She fiddled with the clothes carefully, trying them out one by one in front of the mirror to see which one would look best on her.
Seeing that he couldn't convince Zhou's mother, Zhou Yian had no choice but to step forward and help her try on clothes.
"Hey, An An, have you told him about my situation? Will he scare him when he comes tomorrow?"
"Mom, I've already told you that he knows everything about our family. Don't worry too much. I didn't trick him into coming home."
"And if he really minded, I wouldn't choose to be with him."
"That's good, that's good. I was just worried that my sickly appearance would delay you from finding a partner and getting married."
Zhou Yian squatted down and held his mother's hand tightly with both hands. "Mom, you are not a burden. Don't think like that. If you hadn't depended on me all these years, I don't know what I would be like now."
"So, you are not a burden, you are my home."
Mother Zhou's eyes became moist. She raised her hand and touched Zhou Yian's head. "An'an, Mom knows you've worked hard these years, so Mom is really...really happy that you found someone you love."
"I don't want to see you alone. I want to see you get married and be happy."
As she was talking, tears started to flow down Zhou's mother's face. Zhou Yian was so scared that he quickly used the back of his hand to wipe away Zhou's mother's tears.
And comforted: "Mom, he is a very good person, I will be happy, you have to believe me, don't cry, okay?"
Mother Zhou burst into laughter instantly. "Oh, silly child, I'm so happy! This is called crying tears of joy. I'm not sad. I... I'm just too happy."
Seeing Zhou's mother smile, Zhou Yian also smiled. She felt that the pressure in her heart seemed to be slowly dissipating, and she felt relaxed all over.
In fact, she lied. Tomorrow is not an ordinary day. She is actually looking forward to meeting tomorrow. Will her mother like Xu Zehao?
How would she react if she knew that Xu Zehao was the chairman of Xu Group?
Zhou Yian, immersed in fantasy, had a happy look on his face with his eyes.
Mother Zhou saw it and was happy in her heart. It seemed that An An really found someone she liked this time.
