TVSFPAG -Chapter 178 Will You Be Willing

“The New Year gifts just now are sincerity from the mundane world.”

His voice was not loud, yet it overpowered the sound of the television and the noise outside, clearly reaching Song Yunfei’s ears.

“And this one is my entire sincerity, as well as all the time in the rest of my life. Of course, it also holds countless uncertainties.”

He stood up. Under Song Yunfei’s dazed gaze, he slowly bent his knee and knelt on one knee, opening the velvet box in his hand.

“Will you be willing to accept me… and marry me?”

Outside, someone ignited the largest firework. After a loud explosion, its brilliance instantly lit up half the night sky, illuminating the entire living room as if it were daytime.

Song Yunfei’s gaze fell upon the sparkling ring. Her emotions, like the fireworks outside, were chaotic—almost dreamlike.

It all came too suddenly, leaving her unsure how to react for a moment.

Her confused gaze moved from the ring to the man’s face. In his eyes, there was also a hint of unease and anticipation. The usual composure he carried had faded, replaced by a touch of youthful nervousness.

Tears welled up without warning, and her vision instantly blurred.

She opened her mouth, but no sound came out. All she could do was nod vigorously, like a chick pecking at grains.

Chu Jinhan’s tense body gradually relaxed. He took Song Yunfei’s hand, took out the ring, and carefully slipped it onto her ring finger.

He held her hand tightly, bringing it to his lips, and lowered his head to press a gentle kiss on the ring.

Then he looked up into her tear-filled eyes. “Now… can I openly call you my wife?”

Song Yunfei raised her hand and hastily wiped away her tears, laughing and crying at the same time. “You’re way too sudden… I wasn’t prepared at all.”

Chu Jinhan stood up from the floor and pulled her tightly into his arms, reaching out to wipe away the remaining tears at the corner of her eyes. In a low voice, he said,

“You said yourself—we’d get married after the New Year. Now that the ring is on, are you planning to go back on your word?”

Seeing the vigilance in his eyes, Song Yunfei couldn’t help but laugh through her tears. “Who said I was going to back out? By the way, proposing to me here… does your family know?”

“They’ll know soon enough.”

Song Yunfei still had some concerns and softly said, “But…”

Chu Jinhan interrupted her, “Alright. You don’t need to think about anything. Since I’ve proposed to you, I won’t let you have any worries.”

Her heart warmed at his words. Although she still had lingering concerns, she nodded anyway.

The man then asked, “Are you willing to come back to Haishi with me?”

After a brief hesitation of a couple of seconds, Song Yunfei nodded firmly.

Since things had already come to this point, overthinking would not change anything.

Just after they finished speaking, Chu Jinhan’s phone rang.

Without needing to guess, Song Yunfei knew who was calling. During the New Year, if he wasn’t home, his parents would surely be upset.

He released her hand, took out his phone, and walked out onto the balcony to answer the call.

Song Yunfei didn’t try to eavesdrop. She was afraid of hearing something she didn’t want to hear.

Some things are better left in ignorance—perhaps not knowing brings more peace.

Chu Jinhan didn’t stay on the call long. A few minutes later, he hung up and walked back inside.

Song Yunfei looked at him nervously, wanting to ask something, but the words stuck in her throat.

Chu Jinhan took her hand proactively and said in a deep voice, “We’ll return to Haishi tomorrow.”

Song Yunfei froze for a moment. Though she felt reluctant in her heart, she still forced herself to respond.

“Mm.”

The two of them continued lounging on the sofa watching TV. Song Yunfei lowered her head to sort through the gifts he had given her, a smile never leaving her lips.

Suddenly remembering something, she turned to the man beside her and asked, “You’ve been with me these past few days, never leaving my sight. When did you prepare all these gifts?”

Chu Jinhan glanced at her mysteriously and deliberately kept her guessing. “Take a guess.”

Song Yunfei pouted slightly, though she already had an answer in mind.

Most likely, he had arranged for someone to prepare them in advance.

She spoke somewhat shyly, her tone carrying a hint of guilt. “But… I didn’t prepare a New Year’s gift for you.”

Chu Jinhan lowered his head and pressed a kiss to her lips. “You are the best gift.”

Song Yunfei tugged at the corners of her mouth, her cheeks flushing red.

Thankfully, he hadn’t proposed in a public place—otherwise, she would have been utterly mortified.

Outside the window, fireworks continued intermittently, lasting until after one in the morning before gradually subsiding.

The continuous bursts of fireworks were so soothing that Song Yunfei unknowingly fell asleep on Chu Jinhan’s lap.

When she woke up again, it was already the next morning.

A complete set of new clothes had been placed beside the bed. Song Yunfei picked them up and took a look—still no brand labels.

Only then did she suddenly realize that the clothes he had previously said were sent by clients had all been a lie.

Thinking about it now, had he already regained his memory back then?

And during the plane crash incident—perhaps he hadn’t been on a business trip at all, but had returned to Haishi instead?

Song Yunfei remained silent for a long while, then quietly picked up the clothes and put them on.

When she walked out of the bedroom, breakfast was already laid out on the dining table.

Not long after, Chu Jinhan came out of the kitchen and sat across from her. “I bought tickets for ten o’clock. We’ll set off after breakfast.”

“Mm.”

Song Yunfei smiled and didn’t ask about her earlier doubts.

It was all in the past. He had deceived her, and she had deceived him as well—so perhaps it evened out.

After breakfast, the two of them went downstairs, and Song Yunfei finally saw the Maybach that belonged to her.

It wasn’t the one Chu Jinhan usually drove, but a brand-new model.

Chu Jinhan asked her to get in and try it out, conveniently driving it to the airport.

Song Yunfei, however, was quietly thinking that airport parking fees were very expensive.

Under Chu Jinhan’s strong recommendation, she still couldn’t resist getting in and experiencing the comfort of a luxury car.

They didn’t bring much luggage. Chu Jinhan said everything they needed was already available in Haishi, so there was no need to trouble themselves.

After returning to Haishi, Wei Ke had already been waiting outside the airport.

As soon as Song Yunfei got into the car, she saw Quanquan in the back seat. It immediately approached her enthusiastically, wagging its tail vigorously.

Song Yunfei held its head and stroked it, smiling. “You’ve grown so fast—you’re already this big.”

Quanquan was wearing a bright red vest, made of a material that looked even better than the clothes she had worn before.

Chu Jinhan glanced at Quanquan and said, “During the time you were away, it could only wander around.”

Song Yunfei looked surprised. “Wander around?”

Wei Ke quickly stepped in to smooth things over. “What Mr. Chu means is that several people took turns taking care of it during this period—it’s been living quite freely.”

Song Yunfei finally relaxed and pinched Quanquan’s chubby face. “I was wondering—how could a stray get this fat?”

The car drove into the villa district and eventually stopped in front of a standalone villa.

Wei Ke explained that this was Chu Jinhan’s private villa. No one was living inside, so they could enter with ease.

Looking at the imposing villa before her, Song Yunfei’s nerves began to rise again.

This time, she truly felt like she had accidentally stepped into a world far beyond her own.

Wei Ke hurried over to open the car door. “Miss Song, please.”

Song Yunfei forced an awkward smile and got out of the car.

Chu Jinhan held her hand and led her into the villa. However, just as they stepped inside, they saw a dignified and elegant woman seated calmly in the living room.

The sound of their arrival caused the woman to immediately look up.

Instinctively, Song Yunfei pulled her hand free from Chu Jinhan’s and stood stiffly in place, her heart filled with uncertainty.
