Step Aside, My CEO Ex-Husband! Chapter 1160 - 1162: I Can Finally Marry Brother Ziyang

"I’m back, and I won’t ever leave Tianxin again!" Ziyang declared, drawing her into a tight embrace.

"Yes, we will truly never be separated again!"

After attending to their personal refreshment, the couple descended the stairs together, heading towards the dining room for their morning meal.

Once breakfast concluded, Huo Shaohua summoned Ziyang into the study for a private discussion.

Tianxin lingered anxiously by the study door, attempting to catch any snippets of conversation, but no sound reached her.

She stomped her feet in frustration, yet hesitated to knock, unwilling to disrupt their important talk.

The thought of displeasing her father filled her with dread.

For now, she could only bide her time, observing the unfolding situation before deciding on her next move.

Approximately thirty minutes later.

The study door swung open, and Ziyang emerged, finding Tianxin standing directly before him.

A flicker of surprise crossed his features, though he wasn't taken aback, understanding her concern about her father's words and her likely attempt to overhear.

Tianxin gently pulled Ziyang aside and, confirming no one else was exiting the study, inquired, "What exactly did my father say to you?"

"He spoke about our future together," Ziyang responded, seeing no reason to conceal the details from her.

"And what did he say?" Tianxin pressed, her voice tinged with apprehension as she nervously bit her lip.

"He proposed that we should begin preparations for our engagement," Ziyang conveyed with a beaming smile, his countenance radiating pure joy.

"Are you serious?" Tianxin gasped, her eyes widening in disbelief. At last, her father had consented to their union!

This was truly magnificent news!

"Indeed!" Ziyang confirmed with a nod.

"That’s absolutely wonderful! I can finally marry Brother Ziyang!" Tianxin cried out ecstatically, flinging her arms wide in uncontainable delight.

She had longed for this moment for such an extended period!

From her childhood days right up to this very moment, she had yearned for this day, and now, it had finally arrived!

Ziyang, too, was overcome with happiness, this being the second time he had experienced such profound joy.

The very first instance of such elation occurred when he discovered Tianxin harbored feelings for him, a revelation that filled him with unparalleled delight and a radiant smile~

Every smile he had ever known in his life was inextricably linked to Tianxin.

She represented his happiness, his smiles, his ultimate joy~

Fast forward one month.

The Huo Family made a public declaration, announcing the engagement of their cherished daughter, Huo Tianxin, to Huo Ziyang.

The news sent ripples of shock throughout society: Miss Huo was to be betrothed to Vice President Huo.

The disparity in their ages was substantial, was it not? Had President Huo lost his sense of reason?

How could he possibly consent to marrying his eighteen-year-old daughter to a significantly older man? This seemed utterly preposterous!

Public opinion was decidedly unsupportive, with many convinced that Vice President Huo’s interest in Miss Huo was purely mercenary.

They eagerly anticipated the inevitable dissolution of their relationship!

Given such a profound age gap, could genuine happiness possibly exist between them? This was surely a facade!

There had to be an underlying agenda; people were simply lying in wait for their downfall!

On the day of the engagement ceremony, Huo Shaohua had extended invitations to a multitude of esteemed guests to grace the banquet.

Tianxin, adorned in a striking red gown, radiated pure joy~

Her infectious smile captivated all who beheld it, eliciting smiles in return from the assembled company.

Standing beside Ziyang, their union appeared flawless, a silent yet powerful rebuttal to all who had harbored doubts about their relationship!

The young lady was exquisitely beautiful and delicate, while the man possessed a mature and handsome demeanor; they were, indeed, a match divinely ordained!

Following the conclusion of the grand banquet, Ziyang opted not to escort Tianxin back to her family’s ancestral home. Instead, he guided her to his personal residence.

His dwelling was meticulously prepared, exuding an atmosphere of warmth and romance, with a trail of elegant roses leading from the entrance hall all the way up to the private chambers.

Within the room, Tianxin's gaze fell upon an enormous purple teddy bear and a scattering of rose petals artfully arranged on the bed.

With a squeal of delight, she released Ziyang’s hand, darted towards the bed, and joyfully embraced the giant purple bear, bestowing affectionate kisses upon it.

"Do you like it?" Ziyang inquired, observing from his position by the bed as the charming young woman on the bed met his gaze, a warmth beginning to stir within him.

"I absolutely adore it, thank you, Brother Ziyang!" Tianxin beamed, her eyes crinkling at the corners as she playfully kicked off her shoes, remaining standing on the bed while looking at him.

Abruptly, a flutter of nervousness coursed through her, and she found herself pondering the reason for this unexpected tension!

It felt as though tonight was destined to be the night another profound wish would be fulfilled~

Ziyang extended his hand, encircling Tianxin’s slender leg before gently drawing her down onto the bed as he leaned over her.

Taking the purple bear from her grasp, he lowered his head, his lips brushing against hers, and asked in a voice husky with suppressed emotion, "Tianxin, are you prepared?"

Wishing everyone a joyous Lantern Festival~
