Lu Kenian immediately turned his head to the side, not looking at Cold Thunder.
Cold Thunder knelt on one knee, his legs feeling numb.
"Then that means you agree. You took the flowers and you took the ring!" Cold Thunder glanced at the ring in Lu Kenian's hand.
"The flowers were taken by Xiao Nan, and I haven't even opened the ring. I'm returning it to you!"
Lu Kenian extended the ring box towards Cold Thunder.
"Don't do that!"
Cold Haocheng had been watching everything with wide eyes. Although he didn't speak, he was taking in every action of the people in the room.
At that moment, Lu Kenian suddenly felt Cold Haocheng's small hand, which was gripping his clothes, move slightly.
"What's wrong, Xiao Bei?"
Cold Haocheng opened his mouth, "You... be my... mommy, okay...?"
It was unclear whether it was because he hadn't spoken for too long or because the words were difficult to say, but Cold Haocheng struggled for a long time before finally managing to get those words out.
In that moment, Lu Kenian, who usually disliked shedding tears, suddenly found her eyes brimming with tears.
Her son longed for a mother who could love and protect him; she truly did not know how he had endured these past three years.
She was scared.
What if there was another Chu Yun?
"I have always been your mother, Xiao Bei."
"Really?" Cold Haocheng's dark eyes finally sparkled with life.
"Really. You and Xiao Nan both crawled out from mommy's belly. Mommy won't let anyone hurt you again."
Lu Kenian's tears fell in large drops, and Cold Haocheng finally released her clothing, reaching out to wipe away her tears.
Cold Thunder smiled with relief; it seemed that his son was indeed more reliable.
No matter how one looked at it, Lu Kenian had finally agreed.
Cold Thunder could no longer hold back; he sat down on the ground, directly pulling Lu Kenian's hand over and slipping the ring onto her ring finger.
"Wearing my ring means you belong to me! Xiao Bei, did you see that? Dad has successfully proposed, and she can't run away now!"
Cold Haocheng finally smiled, and in that moment, it was as if the sun had finally shone upon the iceberg.
After a while, Cold Haocheng fell asleep.
Lu Kenian followed Cold Thunder out of the room.
For some reason, an awkwardness suddenly settled between the two.
"Your mother won't have any objections, right?"
Lu Kenian lowered her head, her voice very soft.
She was still somewhat worried; after all, her background was not much different from Chu Yun's. She also didn't know that Cheng Ying disliked Chu Yun and often gave him a hard time, which led Chu Yun to direct his resentment toward Cold Haocheng.
So, would Cheng Ying like her?
The difference in their identities stood as a deep chasm before them.
"Don't worry, I'm here."
Cold Thunder's tone remained unwavering. He reached out to take Lu Kenian's hand, but she instinctively pulled away.
She still wasn't quite used to it...
"I'm going to prepare for the wedding. Do you have any requests?"
To avoid any unnecessary delays, Cold Thunder didn't want to waste a moment.
Lu Kenian shook her head. "Let's skip the formalities; just getting the certificate is enough for me. I don't want a grand wedding."
"Ah?"
The Cold Thunder originally planned to give Lu Kenian an incredibly grand wedding, after all, his wedding with Chu Yun over three years ago was earth-shattering.
This time it was Lu Kenian; they couldn't let this wedding be less impressive than the last one, right?
"No wedding. Those ceremonies meant for others have no real significance. If your parents agree, we can just find a time to get the certificate."
"But... a woman only has one wedding in her life. Don't you really want one?"
Lu Kenian suddenly smiled, "Who says it's only once? If you can't handle it, I can always replace you."
With that, she went straight back to her room.
"Ah?"
Lu Kenian returned to her room and looked at the large diamond ring on her ring finger, gently touching it with her fingertip.
"It really is as extravagant as before."
A smile appeared at the corners of her lips.
Perhaps she would truly give herself a chance to love fiercely someone she loved but dared not love.
In recent days, Cold Haocheng's condition had noticeably improved. Although he still needed Lu Kenian to sleep with him every night, every morning when he saw the ring in Lu Kenian's hand, he felt an immense sense of security.
Because the Cold Thunder said that once she put on the ring, she wouldn't be able to escape.
That night, Lu Kenian was in the room with Cold Haocheng, playing puzzles, when Cheng Ying walked in with a pleased expression.
Seeing Cheng Ying, Lu Kenian felt a bit reserved.
She had been accompanying Cold Haocheng, who had been shy these past few days, and they had been eating in this room. During this time, she hadn't had a chance to meet with Cheng Ying.
"Grandma," Cold Haocheng called out, then continued focusing on the puzzle.
Hearing Cold Haocheng call her "Grandma," Cheng Ying was momentarily taken aback.
She couldn't remember the last time Cold Haocheng had called her "Grandma."
"Ah..." Cheng Ying responded softly.
"You've come..." Lu Kenian stood up respectfully.
"You come here..." Cheng Ying waved at Lu Kenian, and they both sat down on the bed.
Cold Haocheng glanced at them and, seeing they weren't leaving the room, continued playing.
Cheng Ying took Lu Kenian's hand and placed it in her palm.
"Child, we've met a few times before."
Lu Kenian nodded, " Cold Thunder had a birthday party at home, and I was there."
Cheng Ying let out a long sigh. "Three years ago, Cold Thunder brought Xiao Bei home, along with that Chu Yun. I was really conflicted; on one hand, I wanted a grandson, but on the other hand, I didn't like that woman Chu Yun. However, Cold Thunder was so insistent that I had no choice but to agree."
Lu Kenian listened carefully, unsure of what Cheng Ying was going to say.
"I thought he genuinely liked Chu Yun. I figured since the child was already born, I might as well support him. But over these three years, Cold Thunder has always been so busy. At first, I thought he had gotten married, had a child, and matured, which is why he focused more on work. But only in the past few days did I realize I was wrong."
"Wrong?"
"Yes, I was wrong. Cold Thunder is not happy. Logically speaking, he should be happy since he married the woman he loves and has a son while being successful in his career. But he isn't happy. Over these three years, I've rarely seen him smile; the only time he shows a rare smile is when he's holding Xiao Bei."
Cheng Ying wiped away her tears of bitterness.
"Just in the past few days, it seems like he has returned to his old self; even during meals, he can't help but laugh out loud. I've realized my son is back."
Cheng Ying looked at Lu Kenian and patted her hand.
" Lu Kenian, he really likes you."
