Lance took Qing Er for a walk outside and didn't seem to plan to go back.

It was dark now, and they were still in the river.

"Hubby, can we go home? I want to cook dinner at night. "

Qing'er finally couldn't hold herself back. Although her cooking skills hadn't grown much, today was her birthday. She wanted to make a different dinner to properly enjoy the sweetness of their world.

"Alright, it's about time."

Lance looked at the time and suddenly said.

"Almost what?"

"I mean the house should be ready."

Lance laughed nervously, as if he was pleasantly surprised.

When the two of them returned home, the room was very dark, which made them feel uncomfortable.

"Hubby, we forgot to buy food. There's nothing at home."

Qing'er looked at the dark house, still unable to be happy in her heart.

"It's alright, I've already ordered dinner. They will send it over in a while."

Qing'er looked at Lance suspiciously. They had been together since they left the house in the afternoon, but she didn't seem to see Lance calling to order a meal.

"Wifey, wait for me outside. I'll be right back after I park the car."

Lance reminded Qing'er when she got off the car.

Standing outside the door waiting for Lance, Qing'er's heart suddenly thumped. Bang! "Bang!" He jumped as if something was going to happen.

"Alright, my wife, I didn't bring my key, did you?"

Lance touched his hands and smiled embarrassedly at Qing Er.

Qing'er nodded. She took the key and opened the door. The moment she opened the door, a blinding light shot out. She quickly covered her face with her hands.

"Happy Birthday, Happy Birthday, Happy Birthday to BABY …"

Those familiar voices, that happy birthday song, Qing'er's tears immediately rolled out.

She thought Daddy would be the one and Mommy wouldn't come, but they all came, and Ann came, and Uncle Blue Eyes, and Aunt Niall, and godfather, and godmother, and even Uncle, and Auntie, and a few cousins, and they all came.

This was the most attended birthday since Qing'er was born.

"Dammit, Mommy, godfather, godmother, Uncle Blue, Aunt Niall, Uncle, Aunt …"

Qing'er cried one by one.

This was the first time that so many people had celebrated her birthday, and she couldn't stop crying.

Everyone was holding hands and lighting their birthday candles, singing their birthday songs together. Only Qing Er was crying.

After the first round of singing ended, everyone sent their birthday presents. Qing'er hugged her birthday presents, with tears still hanging from her eyes.

"Alright, I've already cried. Little Angel, shouldn't you blow the candle and make your wish?"

Nell pushed Qing'er.

"Hehe, no rush. There's still an important guest who's not here yet. Qing'er, do you want to open the door yourself? They should be here by now."

Lance looked at his watch. It was eight o'clock right now, so those two should have arrived by now.

Just as An An finished speaking, the doorbell rang.

"Brother, who else?"

Qing'er turned and looked at the door, but didn't open it.

"Won't you know if you go? "Hurry up and go."

Everyone looked suspiciously at An Xin. Could it be that he had come up with some sort of special gift?

"Qing Er, go."

Lance looked at An An and actually encouraged him.

Qing'er put the gift down and walked towards the door.

At this moment, her heart was in turmoil. All the family members she knew had come, and it seemed like there was no one else present.

The doorbell rang again, and Qing'er was already at the door.

"Qing Er, open the door."

An'an urged again.

Qing'er put her hand on the doorknob, and suddenly there was a figure in her mind. Joseph, eighteenth birthday.

Without any hesitation, he pulled on the door handle and opened it.

"Qing Er, happy birthday. I broke my promise to be able to make up for my eighteenth birthday this time."

It really was a familiar voice, but what was in front of Qing Er were two gifts, two hands.

"Joseph, Charlotte!"

Qing'er was stunned. The tears that she had just stopped started streaming down her face again. Joseph had actually come. She had thought that Joseph would never see her again.

"Qing Er, don't you welcome us?"

Although Joseph's heart was a bit sour but since they were here, the man should be magnanimous and more relaxed. Although he couldn't be a husband and wife but he could still be a friend. All these years of love was not something that could be taken back so easily.

"Welcome, Joseph, Charlotte, thank you."

Qing'er smiled and received the two gifts with both hands, inviting the two into the house.

With Joseph and Charlotte's arrival, Qing'er's nineteenth birthday could not have been more perfect.

Qing'er closed her eyes and made a silent wish. Afterwards, she blew out the candle in one breath.

"Angel, what do you wish for?"

Nell seemed even more nervous than Qing'er, the longevity star. When the candle went out, she asked nervously.

"Auntie Niall, I can't explain my wish. Alright, let me cut the cake."

Qing'er's face was red with embarrassment. She had made three wishes.

One was his, one was Joseph's, and the other belonged to Uncle Blue Eyes and Aunt Niall. She knew they had always wanted a child, so she made this wish for them.

"Qing Er, wait."

Just when Qing'er was about to cut the cake, Lance suddenly stood in front of her with a bunch of fiery red roses.

"Miss Wen Qing, can you marry me please?"

Under everyone's shock, Lance actually proposed to Qing Er while kneeling on one knee with the rose in his hand.

This was too sudden for Qing Er and even more so for everyone.

Joseph's face looked a little unnatural. Although Lance did not know that he would be coming today, it was ironic for him to propose to an angel who had guarded him for more than ten years.

As if knowing that Joseph was upset, Charlotte came over and held his hand, silently giving him strength and courage.

"Qing'er, hurry up and accept it."

Nell saw that no one said anything, Lance was still kneeling there foolishly, and no one picked up the diamond ring that was shining with happiness, she was a bit worried for them.

Qing'er looked at Lance, then at her parents, then at everyone in the room.

She had originally wanted to marry Lance at the age of nineteen, but now, she couldn't.

Her gaze fell on Joseph's face, who awkwardly avoided her. Being able to celebrate her birthday today had already exhausted his courage. He really couldn't do such an open-minded blessing.

Qing'er was a little sad, but Joseph was still blaming her.

Looking at Lance who had eyes full of expectation, Qing'er felt really sad.

One was the man she loved, the other was the man who loved her the most.

If she promised Lance now, it would be rubbing salt into Joseph's wounds, and she couldn't do that.

"Qing Er, hurry up and agree."

Even Shu Zimo and the others were getting anxious.

"Lance, I'm sorry. Although I really want to marry you, but not now. Last time, I told Uncle Kyle that we would be married together."

Qing'er knew that she would let Lance down if she refused, but she really couldn't be so selfish.

"Qing Er, have you considered this clearly?"

Little Wan looked at her daughter in shock.

This child is too immature. How can he tie his marriage to someone else's?

"Mommy, I know I'm doing the wrong thing. I'm sorry about Lance, but I've really decided."

Lance stood up. Although he was sad, but he could understand it, just like how he asked Qing Er to wait for him. He was willing to wait, as long as Qing Er had him in her heart.

"Qing'er, although I'm a bit disappointed, I support you. No matter what decision you make, I will always support you."

Joseph stood up and held the rose in front of her, and the ring closed.

"I have a good idea. Although my proposal has been rejected, my engagement should also be pretty good."

An An took Lance's diamond ring, opened it and showed it to Qing Er.

"Engagement!" "Good, not bad at all. An An, you brat, you finally have some use."

Lan Yufeng praised with a smile.

He couldn't help but feel unmoved. Although he knew that Qing Er's feelings for him weren't love, she had rejected Lance's proposal for him. He felt that his man's face had returned.

Looking at Charlotte who was leaning on his shoulder, Joseph finally took the first step.

"That's right, Qing'er. Such a good atmosphere and such a special day, why don't you agree?"

Lance and Qing'er looked at Joseph in astonishment. Although their smiles were still a little sad, they were serious. Was he willing to walk out of the emotional whirlpool in their relationship with Qing Er?

"Qing'er, since Joseph has already said so, then Daddy's Mommy will support you as well. But Lance, listen up, you stinking brat. Daughter is mine, I can't marry you so soon."

When Wen Yi saw that his daughter was still hesitating, he also stepped forward.

The party could not go on like this. There was no difference between getting engaged and getting married. It was just that Joseph's relationship would be better.

On his nineteenth birthday, although Lance's proposal was unsuccessful, they were finally engaged.

It was also Qing'er's good fortune to meet her parents, Wen Yi Fei and Wan'er. After her birthday, Qing'er was going to stay in London, so they didn't say anything. They were going to graze the sheep and graze the grass.

Of course, in London, Qing'er did not sleep and eat all day, so she applied for Cambridge again.

However, after just half a year in school, she was surprised to find out that Qing Er was pregnant.

Lance proposed again, but what he said could not be taken back. Even if the child wanted to become an illegitimate child, Qing'er decided to wait for Joseph.

Lance had no choice but to change his strategy and go to America to ask for An An's help.

Anthea couldn't help with matters of the heart, but he had a good idea. He wanted Lance to find Charlotte and ask her to use the same method against Joseph.

It was a coincidence that Charlotte was pregnant, but Joseph was not in a hurry to propose to her, as Lance was.

As if to take revenge on Lance, on Qing Er's 20th birthday, the two women met again. Joseph's face was full of smiles, but he still didn't mention anything about marriage.

Lance really lowered his face and asked Joseph for help. The four of them were actually in a stalemate. Looking at the two pregnant women gorging on food, Lance felt extremely depressed.

"Josef, what are you going to do to get married?"

Lance glared at Joseph, waiting for him to make the request.

"Hehe, it's very simple. Since you stole my most beloved woman, shouldn't you return one to me?"

Although he had already accepted Charlotte, the regret in his heart was still there, and it was very likely that it would last for the rest of his life.

"What do you mean?"

Lance clenched his fist so hard that it sounded like he was about to hit it.

"I heard An An said that Chinese people like to marry by their fingers. How about we marry by our fingers and get engaged to a child? If I give birth to a son and you give birth to a daughter, your daughter will have to marry my son when she grows up."

No matter what, he had to get back a treasure related to Qing'er.

"If I gave birth to a son, what if you gave birth to a daughter?"

Lance was shocked and glared at Joseph.

"That doesn't matter, as long as you have a daughter, you will never have one. In any case, as long as you have a daughter, you will have to marry my son."

Joseph was a little overbearing.

"What if you have a daughter? What if we have only sons? "

Lance and Joseph argued.

"It doesn't matter, I will definitely have a son. Of course, if you can't have a daughter, then there's nothing you can do about it."

Joseph mocked Lance.

"You won't be able to give birth to a daughter. Let me tell you, I …"

Lance stared at Joseph in hatred. He lost, he couldn't play word games with him, okay, it would happen in a few decades anyway. Who knows, he would have to deal with the situation first.

So the two men signed a private agreement to sell the girl, and Joseph finally proposed to Charlotte.

Although the two brides were a bit pregnant, it was still better than having a child as an illegitimate child.

After Qing's twentieth birthday, she finally entered the church with Joseph and Charlotte on International Children's Day, as she had promised.
