Chapter 194 I Want to Spend the Rest of My Life with You
Tan Zhengchu nodded in agreement and said to Su Yingxue with a smile, "Yes, I was able to gradually integrate into this place back then thanks to Su Ma."
Yingxue, Suma is like my own sister; she's Uncle Zhong's precious daughter.
Su Yingxue immediately stood up, a sweet smile on her face, and bowed slightly to greet Su Ma: "Sister Su Ma, it's a pleasure to meet you. Thank you for making such beautiful clothes for me."
Suma quickly waved her hand: "Sister-in-law, don't be so polite. We're all happy that you came."
Su Yingxue sat down again, her lips curving upwards, her smile growing even sweeter.
Its appearance resembled the most beautiful flower in spring, captivating the heart.
Su Ma felt a ripple in her heart as she looked at Tan Zhengchu's gaze toward Su Yingxue.
She thought to herself: If I were a man, I would also want to marry a woman like Su Yingxue.
The thought flashed through her mind, but she still had a faint smile on her face and stood quietly to the side.
Su Ma quickly walked up to Su Yingxue, took her hand, and said warmly, "Sister-in-law, you've finally arrived! I've been looking forward to seeing you for so long!"
Su Yingxue smiled warmly and gently squeezed Su Ma's hand back: "Su Ma, I'm happy to see you too. I feel so much closer to you now."
After sitting for a while, Su Yingxue watched Tan Zhengchu and Uncle Zhong chatting enthusiastically in the local language.
He couldn't understand a single word and gradually became bored.
So he leaned closer to Suma and whispered, "Suma, I can't understand what they're saying, it's so boring. Why don't I come to the kitchen with you and we can chat? I can even help you out."
Tan Zhengchu, with his sharp ears, heard this and quickly turned around, looking at Su Yingxue with a slightly worried expression: "Yingxue, the kitchen is not a place for you. What if you bump into something? Don't go there."
Su Yingxue shrugged dismissively and replied with a smile, "Zhengchu, I'm not stupid. I won't touch anything dangerous, so helping to wash the vegetables is fine, right?"
Tan Zhengchu wanted to persuade her again, but Su Ma intervened and smoothed things over, saying, "Brother Zhengchu, don't worry, I'm watching over your wife, nothing will happen."
After saying that, he pulled Su Yingxue towards the kitchen.
On the way, Su Ma seemed to remember something and explained to Su Yingxue, "Sister-in-law, our island is very isolated. The residents rarely interact with the outside world."
Zhengchu put a lot of thought into your wedding. He specially contacted my dad and the travel agency to arrange it, just to give you a big surprise.
Those people who pick you up at the airport are tour guides from travel agencies. They leave after you get ashore and they've taken care of your business.
Su Yingxue was deeply moved upon hearing this and secretly remembered the thoughtfulness.
Upon entering the kitchen, Su Yingxue was like Grandma Liu visiting the Grand View Garden, her eyes wide with wonder and curiosity.
The pot was so big that it could hold several of her usual household pots.
The fire in the stove was burning brightly, making one's cheeks feel hot.
Suma moved nimbly, the spatula flying up and down in her hands.
Soon, the aroma of the dishes filled the air.
Watching from the side, Su Yingxue couldn't help but praise, "Su Ma, your cooking skills are amazing! The smell alone makes my mouth water."
Suma was a little embarrassed by the praise and said with a smile, "Sister-in-law, on our island, girls have to learn to cook from a young age. If they don't know how when they grow up, they won't be able to get married."
Su Yingxue opened her mouth wide in surprise: "Huh? There's such a rule? If I were born here, I probably wouldn't be able to find a man. I'm not as good at cooking as you."
Amidst laughter and conversation, the dishes were almost cooked.
Su Ma handed the plate to Su Yingxue: "Sister-in-law, please take the dishes to the dining table on the small balcony outside, let's eat there."
Su Yingxue carried the dishes out, and as soon as she put the plates down, she looked up and was captivated by the beautiful scenery before her.
The vast blue sea stretched as far as the eye could see, with waves gently lapping against the shore, creating layers of white foam—a truly breathtaking sight.
She couldn't help but exclaim, "Suma, come down here! Look at this place, Zhengchu really chose it perfectly. Eating here is such a treat!"
Suma followed her out, looked at the sea in the direction of her gaze, and nodded, saying, "Yes, sister-in-law, our island is not open to the public. As you saw on the way here, there are hardly any tourists."
If Zhengchu weren't my brother, we wouldn't have been able to invite outsiders to the wedding.
But it's precisely because of this that our island has retained its original appearance, without the commercialism of tourist areas—how rare!
Su Yingxue wholeheartedly agreed: "Indeed, there are too few places like this nowadays, this wedding will definitely be unforgettable."
Su Yingxue neatly arranged the dishes on the table, then turned around and greeted them with a smile, "Zhengchu, Uncle Zhong, Su Ma, come and eat!"
Everyone gathered around, and Suma proudly introduced, "Sister-in-law, I've specially prepared a seafood feast today, as well as some unique wild vegetables from our island. Please try them."
Tan Zhengchu sat down next to Su Yingxue, his eyes never leaving her.
After a while, I put a plump crab on her plate and said gently, "Yingxue, you like this, eat more."
A moment later, he picked up another piece of wild vegetables with his chopsticks, saying, "These wild vegetables are fresh; you can't get them in the city."
Su Yingxue blushed slightly and responded with a smile, her eyes full of sweetness.
Suma wasn't idle either, enthusiastically telling Su Yingxue, "Sister-in-law, look at our island! The fishing fleets that go out to sea in the morning are quite spectacular. The fish are jumping and leaping as soon as they're caught in the net."
And those strangely shaped rocks on the beach all have many legends associated with them.
Su Yingxue listened intently, occasionally asking a few questions, creating a harmonious atmosphere at the dinner table.
After dinner, the afterglow of the setting sun shone on the beach.
Tan Zhengchu took Su Yingxue's hand: "Yingxue, come on, let's go for a walk on the beach."
The beach was exceptionally tranquil, with fine, soft, golden sand that looked like a brocade spread across the land.
When Tan Zhengchu saw that Su Yingxue had tripped over her shoelace, he quickly squatted down.
He gently lifted her foot, helped her take off her shoes, and joked with a smile, "It's more comfortable to walk barefoot."
Su Yingxue playfully stepped into the surging waves, splashing seawater and wetting her skirt.
She laughed crisply, "Zhengchu, come on over! The seawater is so cool, it's so much fun!"
Tan Zhengchu followed with a smile, letting the seawater soak his trouser legs.
After playing around for a while, Tan Zhengchu put his arm around Su Yingxue's waist, and the two stopped and smiled at each other.
Su Yingxue said with a look of delight, "Zhengchu, this beach is so beautiful, I love it here so much."
Tan Zhengchu gazed into her eyes, his eyes filled with deep affection.
He slowly lowered his head, gently kissed her eyes, and then whispered, "Yingxue, let's hold our wedding here tomorrow, okay?"
Actually, I wanted to give you a surprise, which is why I went to great lengths to bring you here.
But now, I don't want to force you; I just want to hear your thoughts.
Su Yingxue was slightly taken aback, and looked at Tan Zhengchu with her eyes slightly moist.
A radiant smile bloomed on her face: "Zhengchu, I'm willing. No matter what happens in the future, I want to spend the rest of my life with you."
