Chapter 440: Chapter 367: Preparing for the Engagement
As soon as they returned to their accommodation, Xiaomuqing was put down by Ye Ziming at her own request.
Although her good brother said he was very light and didn’t feel anything carrying her on his back, she still felt bad for Ye Ziming.
Thinking they had walked all the way, they must be a bit tired, so it was better to let him rest.
“Yay, bath and getting ready for bed.”
As soon as she entered, Wang Wenxin relaxed and then stretched loudly.
Taking a dip in the hot springs can be very relaxing, not only for Xiaomuqing but also for Zhang Xiaoling and the others.
The first thing they thought of upon returning to their accommodation was to take a bath and then lie in bed.
Unfortunately, there were only two bathrooms in the villa, so six people had to queue up to take turns.
“Go quickly, you’ll take half a day again later.”
Seeing Wang Wenxin wanting to wash first, Zhang Xiaoling simply lay on the sofa playing with her phone, because she knew she would have to wait for a long time.
As for the other bathroom, it was in Ye Ziming and Xiaomuqing’s room, so they would definitely use it first.
“OK, I promise to be done within half an hour.”
“…”
In a blink of an eye, Wang Wenxin chuckled, picked up her clothes, and headed to the bathroom.
This half hour was not short for her, but it was definitely not long.
Then, just as Wang Wenxin entered the bathroom and closed the door, Ye Ziming suddenly received a message from his family.
The general content was that the engagement date for him and Xiaomuqing had been officially set for next month.
After reading the message on his phone, Ye Ziming suddenly curved the corners of his mouth and turned to Xiaomuqing with a smile.
“It’s set.”
“Ah?”
Facing her good brother’s sudden words, Xiaomuqing felt a bit nonsensical and didn’t understand what he meant.
At this moment, she was about to take her phone upstairs to take a bath.
“Our engagement date is set.”
Looking at the confused Xiaomuqing, Ye Ziming handed her his phone and said with a smile.
After glancing at Ye Ziming’s phone, Xiaomuqing finally realized that he was talking about the date of their engagement banquet.
emmm, didn’t he just say the date wasn’t set yet? How did a message suddenly come saying the date was confirmed?
This happened so suddenly that Xiaomuqing couldn’t react for a moment.
“emmm.”
Looking at the time, Xiaomuqing found it was next month, and she was a bit surprised but didn’t think much of it.
“Wait a minute, you two are getting engaged?”
Before Xiaomuqing could speak, Zhang Xiaoling suddenly reacted, sat up from the sofa, and exclaimed in surprise.
Did she just hear that right? Engagement, that was the word, wasn’t it?
Immediately after, Lin Wenbin and Meng Wenhao also reacted, raising their heads to look at Ye Ziming and Xiaomuqing.
Even Wang Wenxin, who had already entered the bathroom and was about to undress, suddenly ran out and asked with great surprise:
“Engagement? Who’s getting engaged?”
“…”
Facing everyone’s gaze, Xiaomuqing was stunned at first, then felt embarrassed.
Their reaction was truly beyond her expectations.
Um… she didn’t know how to explain it, so Xiaomuqing quietly nudged Ye Ziming’s arm, hoping he would explain for her.
“Yes, we are getting engaged next month (date), and you are all welcome to attend our engagement ceremony then.”
Nudged by Xiaomuqing, Ye Ziming immediately understood her meaning and explained to everyone.
Although everyone knew that the two would get engaged sooner or later, they didn’t expect it to be so soon, during this summer vacation.
“Wow! Congratulations, congratulations.”
“We will definitely be there then.”
“Mm, of course, that’s a given.”
The group looked at Xiaomuqing and Ye Ziming, some congratulating them, others saying they would definitely attend, and the atmosphere became very lively for a while.
However, when they were talking enthusiastically, Wang Wenxin suddenly said something that “ruined the mood.”
“Oh dear, Xiaomuqing is still a maiden in her prime (funny face), and she’s suddenly going to become a married woman.”
“Uh!?”
This sudden remark completely stunned Xiaomuqing.
“Oh my, there’s a young married woman here.”
Exchanging a glance with Wang Wenxin, Zhang Xiaoling suddenly joined in with a mischievous smile.
“I think this can be abbreviated to ‘young wife’.”
Wang Wenxin added, the two of them cooperated perfectly, it was nothing short of a double team.
“Ah this…”
This is too much, it’s really too much.
Xiaomuqing never expected that this rural dirt road could also “drive”!
“Married woman” is a very proper word, but from their mouths, it sounded strange no matter how you heard it.
“Cough cough, we’re not engaged yet, so I’m not one yet.”
Xiaomuqing felt it was too much, and the expression on her face became obviously unnatural as she tried to explain.
But what she didn’t expect was that after hearing this, the funny faces on Zhang Xiaoling and Wang Wenxin’s faces became even more apparent.
“So that means you will become a young wife in the future, right?”
Uh?
“Be confident, Xiaomuqing has already admitted it. She will be a young wife in the future, or a loli wife would also work.”
Abba abba.
Looking at the increasingly absurd conversation, Xiaomuqing felt her eyelids twitching wildly, it was super unbearable, okay.
Unable to help herself, she could only poke Ye Ziming privately, asking him to help her find a way to escape.
“Pfft.”
For a moment, Xiaomuqing heard a strange sound, as if someone was trying to hold back laughter.
But before she could think too much, Ye Ziming skillfully changed the topic, telling everyone where their engagement would take place and welcoming them.
After speaking, he took Xiaomuqing’s small hand and went upstairs with her.
“Young wife?”
After returning to the room, Ye Ziming repeated the word with a playful smile.
“That’s enough!”
Meow! Let me give you a cat paw attack!
After hitting him, Xiaomuqing turned around, picked up her clothes, and went into the bathroom to take a bath.
By the time Xiaomuqing and Ye Ziming finished their baths, it was already late at night. They helped each other dry their hair and sat on the bed preparing to rest.
Outside the room, the four people were in separate rooms, two people per room, one male and one female, just like last night. the arrangement was very reasonable and perfect.
“Boss.”
“Mm?”
Just as they were about to turn off the lights, Xiaomuqing gently poked Ye Ziming and called out softly, her eyes slightly evasive.
The poked Ye Ziming raised an eyebrow and looked at Xiaomuqing with a puzzled expression.
“That…”
“?”
“Do you want to feel what a C cup is like?”
Stuttering, Xiaomuqing pursed her lips and asked very softly.
This was the continuation of wearing a bikini during the hot spring today. In fact, she had wanted to do this then, but she was too embarrassed to do it out in the open.
But now she was not afraid. There were only the two of them in the room, and the door was locked so no one could disturb them.
Therefore, she would let her good brother know that she was not small either, and that a flower at home was more fragrant than a wild flower outside.

On the first day of school, Lin Muqing was caught by her best buddy wearing a maid outfit to make some extra money, and he turned out to be her new boss!
But she didn’t panic. Even if he found out she was actually a girl, Lin Muqing still believed her bro would keep it a secret.
They would definitely stay best bros for life, not the kind who get weird and attracted to each other’s bodies.
Then…
“What are you doing?”
“Testing the waters… seeing how far I can go.”
“Then let me take the next step for you.”
“Okay, thanks.”
“No need to thank me. We’re best brothers, after all.”
