I rejected your confession, but you took my best friend home?

Chapter 275 Should we really...get married now?

Tang Zhi and the other two returned to the restaurant. Zhou Heng and Liao Haomiao were still chatting, enjoying their drinks and getting increasingly animated in their conversation...

Tang Zhi sat back down, glancing at Liao Haomiao as if deep in thought...

She only thought about it for a short while before stopping. She felt she was overthinking things and that it wasn't like her anymore.

She's never been afraid of competition; it doesn't matter who it is.

It wasn't until late at night that the group dispersed and prepared to leave.

After saying goodbye at the door, they went their separate ways home.

Yu Lingxue was also very sensible. Although she took the same route home as Zhou Heng and Yin Mengran, she didn't disturb their time together and left first.

Zhou Heng and Yin Mengran walked along the quiet street, deliberately slowing their pace and taking a leisurely stroll.

"Hey, baby..."

"Huh? What's wrong?"

Yin Mengran raised her head, looked at Zhou Heng, and smiled sweetly.

"Isn't there something we haven't discussed yet...?"

"Hmm...it seems...it really is."

Yin Mengran instantly understood what Zhou Heng wanted to say...

After all, this should be the most important thing to her...

That was after I took Zhou Heng's parents home after having dinner with them last time, and that's when Zhou Heng's father said something...

"So do you think...we should really...get married right now?"

Zhou Heng scratched his head and asked in a low voice. He had actually been thinking about it for the past few days, after all, marriage was such an important matter that it required careful consideration.

Moreover, this was personally urged by his parents, and his marriage partner was the person he loved most, so he was definitely very concerned about it...

Yin Mengran remained silent for a while, seriously considering the matter in her mind...

To be honest, if she were to marry Zhou Heng right now, that would be an incredible stroke of luck; she couldn't be happier...

However, while she really wanted to, she also had to consider the practicalities. Would getting married now be more beneficial or detrimental...?

What are your thoughts...?

Yin Mengran raised her head and asked back. Regardless of her own thoughts, she would definitely respect Zhou Heng's choice.

His choice is the most important.

What I'm thinking is...

Zhou Heng didn't voice his thoughts aloud, because he felt that getting married now was a bit too hasty...

He still wanted to get their marriage certificate first, and only after it was legally permitted could he openly and legitimately marry Yin Mengran.

Otherwise, I always feel like people will gossip about them, especially now that their statuses are somewhat different. I suspect Yin Mengran will be the subject of a lot of backbiting...

However, if he were to say it directly now, it would make it seem like he didn't want to marry Yin Mengran soon, and he was afraid that Yin Mengran would be unhappy and disappointed...

"I...I...I'll listen to you, okay, I'll listen to you."

Zhou Heng then changed the subject and handed the decision over to Yin Mengran.

Yin Mengran nodded gently, thought seriously for a while, and then slowly spoke:

"Well... I think we should wait a bit."

"Really? You think so too?"

Zhou Heng raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised.

"Um, ah... but it's not that I don't want to marry you sooner, I just feel... getting married now would be a little... awkward, like I'm rushing into marriage because I'm afraid you'll run away..."

Yin Mengran understood Zhou Heng's father's meaning: he wanted the two of them to get married quickly so that other people wouldn't propose, and she wouldn't have to bother rejecting them.

However... she doesn't really like this kind of marriage...

Moreover, she wasn't afraid that Zhou Heng would run away; she trusted him and didn't need to use marriage to control him.

Judging from what Zhou Heng said earlier, it seemed that he had the same idea.

"Then let's wait. Anyway, it won't be too late today."

"it is good..."

Yin Mengran hugged Zhou Heng's arm, leaned on his shoulder, and softly responded...

"That..."

Zhou Heng reached out and scratched his cheek, looking as if he wanted to say something but hesitated...

"what's wrong?"

"Even if we don't get married right now, we'll get married eventually, right...? So, can we call each other...?"

Zhou Heng's voice trailed off, but his meaning was clear; he was just a little embarrassed...

Because during dinner tonight, after Zhu Tao finished drinking, she called out to Liao Haomiao...

After hearing that, he fantasized about Yin Mengran calling him that; he really wanted to hear it...

Yin Mengran blinked, slightly startled.

Then, a gentle smile slowly appeared on her lips, and her voice was very soft and sweet:

"Husband~"

"what..."

These words struck Zhou Heng like a bullet, and at that moment, he felt incredibly exhilarated!

So this is what it feels like to be called that by the person you love most! It's so wonderful!

"Wife..."

Zhou Heng also called out softly.

In that instant, Yin Mengran felt as if her heart had been squeezed, and then her heartbeat quickened rapidly. Her reaction was no less than Zhou Heng's...

Her cheeks flushed quickly, her ears turned red, and she lowered her head, whispering her agreement:

"Eh..."

At that moment, an ambiguous atmosphere quickly spread between them, enveloping them tightly. Although they fell into a brief silence, they could both feel each other's boundless love...

They knew that once they got home, a fierce battle would be needed to unleash their overflowing love...

The holiday was almost over, and they often went out together before school started.

Summer vacation is coming to an end soon, and with only a few days left before school starts, everyone is beginning to pack their things and prepare for their university life...

Zhou Heng and Yin Mengran were packing their luggage at home. They had quite a lot of clothes, and they wanted to take everything they could.

I'll be moving out of this apartment after school starts.

At this moment, Zhou Heng thought of a question...

"Honey...after we get to Dongzhu...are we going to have to stay in a dormitory?"

"Huh? No...no way...we can't live together..."

Yin Mengran was stunned for a moment, clearly bewildered. She and Zhou Heng had lived together for so long; to separate them was practically tantamount to killing her...

Staying in the dormitory is definitely not an option; she can't fall asleep at all without Zhou Heng holding her while she sleeps...

"No matter what... we have to live together. I'll talk to my dad about it. He already arranged for me to live at school, right? If we can't live together at school, then we'll rent a place outside..."

"okay!"

Hearing Zhou Heng's answer, Yin Mengran felt relieved and nodded happily.

Zhou Heng looked up at the window, a sense of unease creeping over him as he considered how demanding his university studies would be...

"So how exactly did he arrange things for me...?"
