Chapter 162: Lu Zhenting’s Confession

The next day, Su An decided to stay home and rest for two days.

After all, the firewood at home was nearly used up, so it didn’t matter if she didn’t go to collect more.

Sun Xinxin prepared a hearty breakfast early in the morning. After Su An filled her stomach, she crossed her legs and began to chat with Lu Wanting and Sun Xinxin.

While they chatted happily, Sun Xinxin kept her hands busy making cotton shoes.

In winter, good winter clothes and cotton shoes are essential.

She planned to make a pair for both Su An and Lu Wanting.

While the three of them were engrossed in their conversation, they saw Guo Miao and Lu Zhenting approaching.

The two often visited, so their arrival was nothing unusual.

However, this time, Lu Zhenting’s appearance instantly caught everyone’s attention.

Lu Zhenting was already good-looking, but after dressing up, he looked even more charming.

He wore a stylish windbreaker that made him appear taller and more elegant.

Today, he had on a new pair of leather shoes, a stark contrast to his usual attire.

It’s often said that clothes make the man, and he certainly looked more striking in this outfit.

Faced with such a dapper Lu Zhenting, Su An couldn’t help but steal a few more glances.

Who doesn’t appreciate looking at someone attractive? She was, after all, just a normal person who liked good-looking men.

Noticing Su An’s attention, Lu Zhenting felt a surge of confidence.

It seemed that his efforts to dress well had indeed seduced her interest.

Lu Wanting walked up to Lu Zhenting, circled around him a couple of times, then remarked, Brother, you look really stylish today.

Hearing his sister’s compliment, Lu Zhenting’s mouth twitched. What are you talking about?

Brother, I’m just being honest. You’re dressed so flamboyantly today that anyone who sees you might think you’re trying to attract attention.

Lu Zhenting could only think, …

He glanced at Su An, and indeed, Lu Wanting’s observation was spot on.

He was trying to attract attention, particularly from Su An.

After Lu Wanting’s teasing, Guo Miao scrutinized Lu Zhenting and sensed something was off.

In the past, Brother Ting didn’t care much about his appearance or clothing. What had changed?

If something was off, it meant Brother Ting must be plotting something.

Could it be that Lu Wanting was right, and Brother Ting really intended to attract attention?

Ignoring Lu Wanting, Lu Zhenting turned to Su An and said, Su Zhiqing, I need to talk to you about something, just the two of us.

Su An figured Lu Zhenting wanted to discuss Huang Zhong and the island country spies.

Okay.

Su An stood up and followed Lu Zhenting to the back of the house.

Okay, there’s no one here. Su Zhiqing, you can talk now.

Lu Zhenting mustered his courage and handed a small box to Su An.

Looking at the box, Su An felt puzzled.

This is…

This is a gift for you.

Su An looked at Lu Zhenting, confusion evident on her face. Why are you giving me a gift?

Lu Zhenting’s cheeks flushed slightly. Comrade Su An, I like you. Can we be together? This is a gift for you, and I hope you can accept it.

Su An was even more confused.

She looked at Lu Zhenting in disbelief.

This man actually confessed to her and said he liked her?

Su An really didn’t expect this. She hadn’t thought Lu Zhenting had any romantic intentions toward her before. His feelings seemed so sudden.

Caught in a daze, Su An didn’t respond right away.

Lu Zhenting waited anxiously for her reply. When she remained silent, his mind began to race with worries.

What did it mean that Su An didn’t reply?

Didn’t she like him? Did she not have any feelings for him in that way?

To show Su An his sincerity and desire to date her, Lu Zhenting spoke again, Su An, I like you, and I hope you can give me a chance.

If you agree to date me, I swear on my life and future that I will never let you down and will be loyal to you forever.

Facing Lu Zhenting’s handsome face and sincere gaze, Su An felt it would be ungrateful not to at least consider his proposal.

Lu Zhenting still didn’t get an answer from her, and his anxiety grew. Sweat beads began to appear on his forehead, a sign of his nervousness.

He had never felt this nervous even during dangerous tasks or life-threatening situations before.

Is it okay? Give me a chance, and I will definitely be a partner that satisfies you.

Finally, Su An spoke up, I promise you, but I have a condition.

Lu Zhenting hurriedly asked, What are the conditions? I will do everything I can.

If we are in a relationship, I will not tolerate any sand in my eyes. If you let me down and attract trouble, don’t blame me for breaking your legs.

Lu Zhenting thought Su An would make some harsh demands, but he didn’t expect her to propose such a basic condition.

Even if Su An hadn’t said this, Lu Zhenting would have upheld it anyway.

Loyalty in a relationship was the most fundamental and important thing to him.

I can do it, and this is what I should do, Lu Zhenting immediately expressed his commitment.

Su An was very satisfied with Lu Zhenting’s prompt and unwavering response.

Thinking about her lack of experience in love, she figured it would be nice to try dating a handsome guy now.

After all, exploring the taste of love was worth it.

If she found Lu Zhenting suitable, she could consider marriage; if not, she would simply end things with him in the future.

At least she would have had the experience of dating a handsome guy.

Okay, since you agreed, from today on, you are my partner.

Upon hearing Su An accept his proposal, Lu Zhenting felt a mix of disbelief and happiness, wondering if he was dreaming.

Did Su An really accept him?

Su An noticed Lu Zhenting’s silly reaction and found him quite endearing in that moment.

Come here, since you are my man, let me stamp my approval.

With that, Su An grabbed Lu Zhenting by the collar and kissed him on the lips.

In that moment, Su An looked like a domineering CEO, while Lu Zhenting resembled a bashful little wife.

Once Su An released him, Lu Zhenting was still in shock, realizing he had just been kissed by Su An.

Overwhelmed with joy that Su An had agreed to be with him, the kiss only added to his giddiness.

Now that they were in a relationship, Su An accepted the gift from Lu Zhenting, marking a new beginning for them both.
