Mu Yusi's eyes seemed to bore into her soul. "Will you marry me, Ava?" he asked.

Ava's eyes widened in shock. She had not expected Mu Yusi to propose to her.

But as she looked into his eyes, Ava knew that she couldn't say no. She loved Mu Yusi, and she wanted to spend the rest of her life with him.

Ava's eyes widened in surprise. "What for?" she asked.

Mu Yusi's smile was enigmatic. "To register our marriage, of course," he said.

Ava replies, So fast?

Ava felt a surge of excitement mixed with a little bit of fear. She had never thought about the practicalities of marriage before.

"What time do we need to be there?" Ava asked, trying to sound calm.

Mu Yusi's eyes seemed to gleam with amusement. "I'll send a car to pick you up at 8am," he said.

Ava nodded, feeling a sense of relief wash over her. They said their goodbyes and Mu Yusi left after dropping her off back home.
