Ming Ge sat at the other end of the long dining table, propping her head up with one hand, her eyes twinkling as she smiled at him, "A candlelit dinner, huh."
"I know."
There was a pause before the man spoke again, his voice perhaps huskier than he realized, "I mean, why so suddenly..."
It could certainly be considered sudden.
At least Gong Yeyan had no psychological preparation for it.
"Um. Think of it as a belated celebration," Ming Ge considered and could only come up with that reason.
Because it was a whimsical decision.
Buying a diamond ring was a whim.
Cooking, getting her hands dirty making broth, also on a whim.
"Celebration?" The man raised an eyebrow.
"Just... don't we also have anniversaries in marriage?" Ming Ge's face was the picture of obviousness, "An anniversary means you have to celebrate."
At the end, she added in a soft mutter, "Although this... seems a bit late."
"It's not too late."
