Chapter 72: Reverse of Proposal

When Fu Chen heard this, he smiled in a low voice and said, “Okay, I will definitely ask you next time. However, since the proposal failed, let’s celebrate your birthday first. If it weren’t for your cousin bringing you here, you wouldn’t be able to remember your birthday.”  Fu Chen said while pulling Ye Jin to the place where the cake was placed.

Ye Jin listened to Fu Chen’s words, as he walked to the table where the cake was placed. Looking at the milky white two-layer cake with Happy Birthday and candles on the table, he asked curiously: “How did you make this? It looks pretty good.”

Fu Chen glanced at Ye Chen with a curious look on his face. He then said with a smile in his eyes: “This is what I managed to make little by little after searching for information with a few of your cousins. This is the most successful one. Hurry up and make a wish. We can then cut the cake.”

Several other people watched Ye Jin’s arrival and listened to the conversation between the two of them. They also heckled with a smile on their faces. Ye Lin’an and Ye Xu, meanwhile, rejoiced as Fu Chen’s proposal was rejected and was of no assistance. Before they all began to jeer and demanded that he make a hasty wish, it was Ye Jin’s turn to celebrate his birthday.

Ye Jin watched everyone celebrating with a smile on his face and felt warm in his heart; even his gleaming peach blossom eyes had a layer of shiny water color.

No one knows whether his birthday this time being on the same day as his birthday in his previous life was a coincidence. But Ye Jin didn’t have a “birthday” in his previous life because of his parents. For him, birthday is not a day worth talking about, so Ye Jin didn’t even remember that today is his birthday.

At present, Ye Jin looked at a group of relatives and friends who were surrounding him for his birthday. Amidst everyone’s heckling, he closed his eyes with a faint touch and began to make a wish, and then tried to blow out all the candles in one breath.

After Ye Jin blew out the candles, everyone clapped and cut the cake together and chatted in twos and threes, while Fu Chen looked at Ye Jin’s blushing face with a smile and asked, “What wish did you make? Why is your face so red?”

When Ye Jin heard the words and turned to look at Fu Chen’s smiling face, his blushing cheeks were even more red as if dripping with blood. He held the cake in his hand and said, “You can’t say your wish. It won’t work if you say it. Let’s eat the cake quickly.” 

Ye Jin hurriedly dug up a lump of cake in his hand and stuffed it into his mouth, obviously changing the subject.

However, Fu Chen, who was fed a bite of the cake by Ye Jin, became very stunned at the sight of the cake’s entrance. Seeing that Ye Jin was about to put the newly scooped cake into his mouth, he immediately reached out and stopped it.

Ye Jin was perplexed as he observed Fu Chen’s behavior with suspicion.

Fu Chen faced Ye Jin’s puzzled look and hurriedly said, “Don’t eat it. It doesn’t taste very good. I’ll make it for you again when I learn it well in the future.”

Ye Jin looked at the very beautiful cake in his hand, then turned his head to look around at everyone’s reaction. He then discovered that although everyone had a piece of cake in front of them, they had only nibbled a corner and hadn’t yet moved beyond it. 

They were basically drinking with a glass in hand; even Ye Lin’an and Ye Xu, who were responsible for making the cake, did the same, sneaking in this direction while drinking.

Then they noticed Ye Jin looking in their direction with the missing piece of cake in his hand as he showed an endless expression. Ye Lin’an walked over with his head bowed and asked, “This cake, did you really let Xiao Jin eat it?” He said this while giving Fu Chen a stern look.

Fu Chen looked at Ye Linan coldly and shook his head, took the cake from Ye Jin’s hand and put it on the table beside him, and brought him a bottle of drink.

Ye Jin looked at Ye Lin’an’s drink in his hand and said, “Cousin, how did you make the cake? Is the taste really bad?”

After Ye Jin finished speaking, he wanted to reach out for the cake to taste once again but was immediately stopped by Ye Lin’an, “Don’t taste it; it’s bitter and astringent. I knew I wouldn’t do it according to the information I found. It’s not as good as the ugly one I made before.”

Ye Jin was really curious about the taste of what they made when he heard this, so she put the drink aside, picked up the cake and tasted it.

Before putting the cake in the mouth, Ye Jin thought that no matter how bad it was, it could not be too bad. 

However, at the moment of the entrance, the taste was too sweet, it was too bitter and a little fishy. He wanted to vomit. 

After barely swallowing it, he looked at the two people sitting on the side and said, “There is too much sugar; the cream and the cake were not cooked, thus, fishy. Next time, I will make you proper cakes. You are really not suitable for sweets.”

Fu Chen watched Ye Jin pour the drink into his mouth and nodded nervously, while Ye Lin’an smiled and said, “This is not what I did. Your cousins and I only gave instructions on the side, and he was the one who did it. We decorated it before we had time to taste it; otherwise, there would be no such embarrassing situation.”

When Ye Jin heard that Fu Chen made it himself, he glanced at him in surprise. He then smiled and picked up the half-eaten cake and slowly stuffed it into his mouth.

When Ye Lin’an saw Ye Jin’s actions, he tried to stop Ye Jin in a hurry. Fu Chen looked at Ye Jin’s actions and didn’t do anything, but his throat moved to stop him: “Xiao Jin, don’t eat it, you will have a bad stomach. I will make it for you again when I learn it later.”

Ye Jin ignored it and waited for the cake in his hand to be finished before looking at Fu Chen with shining eyes and saying, “It’s delicious.”

Fu Chen looked at the touch of cream at the corner of Ye Jin’s mouth, his eyes deepened, and he raised his hand to wipe him. If it weren’t for Ye Lin’an sitting next to him, Fu Chen would have kissed his bright red lips.

Ye Jin felt Fu Chen’s slightly pistol-like fingers stroking the corners of his lips, and looked at Fu Chen’s slightly dark eyes in a daze. He stretched out her hand and held his slightly rough palm, and stared silently for a moment.

These hands are used to activate armor and defend the empire, but they are willing to learn to make cakes for themselves and even willing to put down their posture to consult so many people for themselves. This made Ye Jin’s heart feel a rising sensation, and he felt an impulse in her heart.

Ye Jin looked up at Fu Chen and followed the impulse in his heart to stand up and move closer in Fu Chen’s direction. Regardless of whether Ye Lin’an was still sitting next to him, he raised his head and kissed Fu Chen on the lips.

Fu Chen was taken aback by Ye Jin’s sudden action, but in just a split second, he immediately turned passive into active. He stretched out his arm forcefully to hold the back of Ye Jin’s head and stuck the tip of his tongue into his soft mouth to wrap around him. His limp tongue danced in his mouth.

It wasn’t until five minutes later that Fu Chen let go of Ye Jin’s lips and pressed him to his chest. The heartbeat in his chest was beating as if it was about to jump out of his chest, and Ye Jin was also working hard to calm his breathing and heartbeat. It wasn’t until Ye Lin’an, who was sitting beside him, coughed with a dark face, that he separated the two.

Ye Jin looked at Ye Lin’an, whose face was a bit dark; he just smiled and turned to look at Fu Chen and took out the ring that Fu Chen had sent before from space. He then opened the ring box and looked at Fu Chen with a serious look: “I want to be with you forever; let’s get married, okay?”

After Fu Chen managed to calm down, he looked down at the ring that was suddenly handed to him and the voice in his ear. Fu Chen stared at the serious boy in front of him with a look of surprise and replied in a trembling voice: “Okay, then you bring it to me, and we will always be together in the future.”

Ye Jin laughed immediately when he heard this. He took out the ring and carefully put it on Fu Chen’s index finger. After that, he handed the ring he was still holding to Fu Chen and handed it to Fu Chen. 

Fu Chen became distracted for a moment and took a ring box from his own space. After opening it, there were two identical men’s rings.

As Ye Jin looked at Fu Chen’s preparations, his already bright eyes were even more radiant.

Fu Chen took out the ring from the ring box in his hand and carefully put it on Ye Jin’s index finger.

Ye Jin stared at the ring he was wearing in his hand, and put away the box with a sweet expression. The two of them held their hands tightly together, and their eyes were full of sweetness.

Ye Lin’an, who was sitting next to him, watched Ye Jin’s actions, and a touch of relief flashed in his eyes. Although it was not as gloomy, the expression toward Fu Chen was still not favourable, but it was much less so than previously.

A group of people who were sitting in other places noticed when Ye Jin took out the ring box, and they leaned over one after another. After the two put on the rings for each other, they all celebrated one after another. 

Of course, except for a few people in the Ye family, they were all in the same mood as Ye Lin’an, relieved and entangled.
