478: He was certain that he loved Nian Nian.

The Gu Family.

At noon, the Gu Family had two large tables, and it was extremely lively.

Xiao Niannian and Lu Jing sat together, and everyone toasted them with wine.

"Xiao Jing, you must take good care of Niannian from now on, and don't bully her."

Aunt Gu said with a smile.

"Aunt Gu, don't worry. I will definitely take good care of Niannian and won't bully her."

Aunt Gu smiled and drank the wine in her cup.

"Niannian, it is Xiao Jing's good fortune to find a partner like you..." Mother Lu also said with a beaming smile.

Mother Lu spoke from the heart; previously, she had some doubts about Niannian, but she also liked her very much.

Now that her son's marriage to Niannian was settled, she felt extremely happy.

Xiao Niannian had drunk two cups of wine, and her face was flushed now. She looked at Lu Jing, and seeing that Lu Jing's face was also slightly red, she smiled.

"The children have drunk so much wine already, let's eat some food..."

Grandma Gu greeted everyone.

After the meal, Grandpa Lu and Grandma Lu invited everyone to the Lu Family residence.

"We'll have dinner at the Lu Family place tonight."

"Okay."

Xiao Niannian went to the Lu Family residence. Although she wasn't drunk, she felt a bit sleepy now.

"Go to my room."

Lu Jing held her hand and walked upstairs.

Gu Ying followed them over. Seeing Lu Jing and Xiao Niannian go upstairs, her brow furrowed again.

However, since they were at the Lu Family residence, saying anything unpleasant would be disadvantageous to her later.

Xiao Niannian had been to the Lu Family residence before. Now, in Lu Jing's room, she saw his medals, plaques, and certificates displayed in a cabinet nearby.

She glanced over them: two first-class merit medals, three second-class merit medals, and many third-class merit medals.

Xiao Niannian looked up at Lu Jing and saw that Lu Jing was gazing at her.

She reached out and hugged Lu Jing's neck, saying cheerfully.

"Captain Lu, you are truly outstanding."

"Thank you, Wife."

Hearing him call her 'Wife,' Xiao Niannian laughed.

"Who's your wife? I'm not yet."

"Starting now, you are my wife."

Lu Jing wrapped his arms around Niannian's waist, lowered his head, and kissed her.

Their breathing quickened, and the air between them was filled with each other's scent.

Her cheeks were slightly flushed, but Lu Jing's kiss deepened, intense like surging waves.

After a long while, the two separated, their faces flushed.

"Niannian, I truly want to marry you right now."

Lu Jing rested his head against Xiao Niannian's, his magnetic voice sounding in her ear.

Xiao Niannian's breathing was also slightly unsteady, and she said with a smile.

"Then you better work hard."

Hearing Niannian's words, Lu Jing rubbed her face with his nose, smiled, kissed her lips, and said.

"Okay, I will definitely work hard to marry you and bring you home soon."

Xiao Niannian tilted her head and said.

"Carry me on your back."

Lu Jing nodded and squatted down in front of her.

Xiao Niannian lay on his back and said.

"Let's go, let's go to the balcony. I want to see the scenery outside."

Lu Jing carried Niannian on his back to the balcony.

"In the future, I want to grow flowers here... put a small cabinet here... and this spot, for drying clothes..."

"Okay."

After talking for a while, Xiao Niannian fell asleep on Lu Jing's back.

Xiao Niannian rarely took naps normally, but today was a very festive day, and Lu Jing was by her side. Plus, she had drunk several cups of liquor, so she was indeed sleepy now.

Lu Jing heard her breathing and knew Niannian was asleep now. He didn't put her down immediately; instead, he carried her for another twenty minutes or so, and only after confirming Niannian was sound asleep did he slowly place her on the bed.

Lu Jing took off Niannian's shoes and tucked her in. He then sat on the edge of the bed, watching Niannian's sleeping face, a smile constantly playing on his lips.

Before, he didn't understand what liking was, or what loving was. Now, he finally understood.

Liking is smiling the moment he sees you. When you are present, all his attention is drawn to you. No matter what you do, in his eyes, it is excellent.

Even if you do nothing, in his eyes, you are the best.

When you like someone, you want to be with them, to be closer; your heart pounds faster, and you desire to be even closer.

No matter what she is like, no matter what she does—her smiling self, her cute self, her angry self—every version of her is beloved.

He is sure, he loves her.

After Shen Yan returned home, he came back two hours later and found that Niannian wasn't in the living room.

"Brother, where is Sister Xiao?"

Military Doctor Shen had just arrived too, and upon hearing this, he shook his head.

He looked up and saw Lu Jing walking down, looking incredibly refreshed. Military Doctor Shen's eyes flashed—could it be?

No, Old Lu isn't such an unruly person, but looking at Old Lu's smug expression, hmph, it seems Old Lu and Niannian are getting married soon.

"Ask him."

Seeing his brother raise his chin, his gaze followed toward the distance.

Lu Jing walked down from upstairs.

"Brother, where is Sister Xiao?"

Shen Yan immediately asked.

"She is taking a nap upstairs."

Shen Yan blinked rapidly several times. Cough, he wasn't thinking nonsense.

Lu Jing looked coldly at Shen Yan.

Shen Yan immediately retracted his gaze.

After sleeping for more than an hour, Xiao Niannian woke up.

Opening her eyes and seeing the room, she finally remembered that this was Lu Jing's room.

Her room and Lu Jing's room were the same size, but the decor was very different.

His room was very simple; things were arranged more neatly than in her room. There were mostly books, and a few photos of him.

Xiao Niannian saw a photo album nearby. She opened it and saw that it contained photos of her as well.

There were many photos of her. Seeing these photos, she smiled.

She continued looking through, seeing photos of Lu Jing when he was a pilot.

Truly handsome! Sure enough, men who fly planes have a super appealing aura.

She saw photos taken of Lu Jing when he was at the Military Academy, and also photos of Lu Jing being received by the Great Leader.

Xiao Niannian looked at the photos for a long time.

In the future, she wanted to be as outstanding as Lu Jing.

When she saw photos of Lu Jing as a child, the smile on Xiao Niannian's face widened. Little Lu Jing was truly adorable.

It was as if the image of Lu Jing as a child appeared before her eyes.

After looking through the entire album, Xiao Niannian put the photo album back in its original place.

She got up and walked toward the door.

Going downstairs, she saw that it was very lively below.

Her eyes met Lu Jing's. Seeing Lu Jing smile at her, Xiao Niannian walked toward them.

"Sister Xiao, are you going skating tomorrow? We can skate now."

"Sounds good."

Xiao Niannian remembered Ma Xue inviting her to go skating earlier.

Ma Xue was also looking at Xiao Niannian at this moment, and upon hearing Xiao Niannian agree, she immediately said.

"Younger Female Cousin, then it's settled. We'll go skating together tomorrow, and I'll teach you..."

Xiao Niannian nodded.

After dinner, Lu Jing and his parents escorted Grandpa Gu, Grandma Gu, and their family back to the Gu Family residence.

"I'll come pick you up tomorrow."

Lu Jing said to Niannian.

"Okay."

Gu Ying watched Lu Jing leave and said with a smile.

"Congratulations, Father, Mother, and Elder Brother."

"Niannian has found a good family!"
