Chapter 682: 0672 Fate Chapter 682: 0672 Fate Su Ran blinked gently at his words.

“Does choosing a betrothal gift also require picking an auspicious day?”

“It does.”

Standing opposite him, Su Ran couldn’t help but curve her lips into a smile as she heard the man’s resolute two words.

“You wouldn’t happen to have spent the whole night looking through ‘Ze Ji Hui Yao,’ would you?”

“Hmm, it concerns our lifelong event, so naturally, I need to be cautious.”

Upon hearing this, Su Ran’s starry eyes sparkled, and a sweet feeling surged in her heart as her gaze involuntarily fell upon the ‘Ze Ji Hui Yao.’
“So, did you find a good day?”

Fu Qiyuan raised his eyebrows at her question, pulled her onto his lap, wrapped one arm around her waist, and pointed with his other hand to a marked spot in the book.

“Hmm, look at this day–suitable for travel, proposal, meeting friends, engagement, fixing a wedding date, big decisions…”
Su Ran followed where his finger pointed and then saw a circle drawn in red ink around the word “Sunday.”

“Sunday? Isn’t that a week from now?”

Fu Qiyuan nodded, and then turned to another page, where he had also made a mark with a red pen.

“On this day, suitable for travel, marriage, registering a marriage, praying for blessings, seeking offspring, starting a business, very auspicious…”
Su Ran didn’t speak, her starry eyes fixated on his handsome face.

Fu Qiyuan suddenly kissed her on the lips, his low, sexy voice slowly rising.

“Each one carries a very good implication, very suitable for us to register our marriage.”

Su Ran blinked, glanced at the marked spot, and silently counted in her head. It was more than a month after giving the betrothal gifts.

More than a month after giving the betrothal gifts to register the marriage?

From his decisive tone earlier, she had thought that after giving the betrothal gifts, the man would immediately take her to register.

Was she thinking too much?

Uh, no!

Is she so eager to get married?

Su Ran pursed her lips and fell silent for a moment.

Fu Qiyuan saw her quiet and asked again:
“What’s wrong? Is there something you’re concerned about?”

Su Ran shook her head, then looked at him steadily and said bluntly:
“I thought you would take me to register right after giving the betrothal gifts.”

Fu Qiyuan thought she had some reservations, but he didn’t expect her to suddenly come out with such a statement.

He slightly curved his lips, unable to help but laugh softly.

“What are you laughing at? With the way you were talking last time, you seemed as if you couldn’t wait to drag me to the civil affairs bureau.”

Su Ran had just returned from the company, still in a chic and professional business suit, which exuded more assertiveness and decisiveness than casual home clothes.

But at this moment, she didn’t have a trace of the domineering female CEO’s aura.

Sitting on Fu Qiyuan’s lap, she had shed her usual cool detachment, speaking in a tone that was warm and lively, with an undertone of persistence.

Fu Qiyuan held her and still looked at her without a word, just smiling.

Su Ran furrowed her brows slightly, glaring at him with displeasure.

“Why aren’t you speaking? Am I wrong?”

Fu Qiyuan laughed softly again, but seeing the girl’s brows frowning tighter, he finally spoke up.

“You’re right! I really can’t wait to take you to register our marriage!”

At his words, Su Ran raised her eyebrows, her expression saying, “I knew it!”

Fu Qiyuan watched her proud little expression and slightly curved his lips.

“Although I’m impatient and can’t wait for you to marry me, I want to give you the best, including memories. Every step–proposing, giving betrothal gifts, registering, or the wedding–is part of our journey, memories that will accompany us for a lifetime, they are proof of me holding your hand and walking towards happiness.”

“I’m very greedy; I want to frame them on a special day, to gather everything that symbolizes beauty in this world into your memories, making them exclusively ours, so that you can’t struggle free, can’t escape, and have to stay by my side for a lifetime!”

Listening to the man’s calm and deep voice, Su Ran’s eyes suddenly reddened.

She wasn’t normally a person who overflowed with emotion, but the longer she spent with men, the more she found herself struggling to control her own feelings.

After a long while, she finally spoke in a faint voice:
“Fu Qiyuan, tell me the truth.”

“What?”

“Did you sign up for some sort of ‘Sweet Talk Training Course’ behind my back?”

Fu Qiyuan: “…”

The warm and sweet atmosphere was swept away in an instant!

Fu Qiyuan rubbed his forehead and couldn’t help but let out a light sigh.

“Why would you say that?”

Su Ran’s expression was somewhat moved, her hands wrapping around his neck.

“Otherwise, how come I never realized before that you’re so good with words.”

Fu Qiyuan: “…”

Su Ran looked up at him, then said in a pitiful tone:
“And, why does listening to your words give me the urge to cry?”

Fu Qiyuan listened and couldn’t help chuckling at her pitifully wrapped-up appearance.

Su Ran glared at him resentfully, “I feel like crying, and you’re actually laughing?”

She rarely showed such an unreasonable side of herself.

Seeing her like this, Fu Qiyuan not only didn’t get angry but instead looked at her indulgently and fondly.

He gently patted her head, then said with warmth:
“Alright, I won’t laugh!”

“That’s more like it!”

Su Ran took a deep breath and leaned into his embrace.

After a long time, she spoke again as if in a daze.

“Are we really going to get married?”

“Don’t believe it?”

Su Ran shook her head, “It just feels somewhat unreal, after all, not long ago, the two of us were strangers with no relevance to each other.”

Fu Qiyuan lowered his head and pecked on her lips, his lips curving:
“Does it still feel unreal now?”

Su Ran shook her head, then nodded, and finally hugged the man’s neck tightly, her smile becoming even more radiant.

“Do you still remember the first time we met?”

“I can’t forget!”

Su Ran smiled and said, “You probably don’t know, but that day I was called to the Su Family to discuss the matter of marrying Gu Heng, but because Su Xinyan suddenly made a scene by slashing her wrists, things were put on hold!

Wen Peipei always wanted Su Xinyan to replace me and marry into the Gu Family. At that time, Gu Heng’s heart was all on Su Xinyan, so everyone quickly agreed, and that led to everything that happened afterward!”

As Su Ran spoke, she paused for a moment, then looked up at Fu Qiyuan and smiled:
“In that case, shouldn’t we thank them? If not for them, maybe we wouldn’t have met.”

“Destiny is preordained by heaven, even without them, we would have met. Our fate was already fixed in the unseen long ago!”

Su Ran raised an eyebrow, looking at him with teasing eyes.

“You don’t seem like someone who would believe in fate.”

“Because it’s you, I believe!”

Upon hearing this, the curve at the edges of Su Ran’s lips gradually lifted.

Because it’s you, I believe too!

All the unexpected encounters were merely fated long ago by the unseen!

To explain with a single word: Fate!
