What he said was too tempting for Shen Shuci; she reached out to him...
slowly extending her hand.
The ring was a bit cold, and as it slipped onto her ring finger, it was as if sothing lightly clasped her heart, sending a tingle through her entire body.
His hand held hers, as if supporting her whole being, holding up her future.
The next second, Shen Shuci reached out and grabbed his hand, pulling him up from the ground. She stood on tiptoe, arms wrapping around his neck, this bouquet of roses was so big, it got in the way...
Huo Qinqi raised his hand and moved it aside.
Amid the cheering of the crowd, the bouquet fell to the ground, silently, yet Shen Shuci’s heart seed to have found a harbor to rely upon, bringing her a sense of peace.
Amid the cheers, Huo Qinqi wrapped his arm around her waist and kissed her cheek, a brief touch, leaving everyone dissatisfied.
Seizing the rare opportunity to tease Huo Qinqi, the crowd continued to shout: "Another one, another one..." But they were stared back into silence by his icy glare.
The many leaders could only smile helplessly.
Usually calling for a show of spirits, they had never seen this group of youngsters so excited; today they were hollering with pleasure.
They had never seen soone who just proposed with such a stern and intimidating face.
But Shen Shuci stood on tiptoe and pecked him on the lips.
Just as Huo Qinqi was glaring at people, planning to deal with that group of troublemakers later, a surprise kiss froze him in place.
Looking down at the person in his arms, he suddenly seed to see, in the Green Plum Forest, the figure in red riding through the woods, back then she was under the tree, and he was up on the tower, far away, but at this mont...
She was already the person in his arms, already his girl.
...
The entire event was pushed to a small climax because of Huo Qinqi’s proposal, but it also delayed the program schedule, and the gathering didn’t disperse until around half-past five. Huo Qinqi held her hand, Shen Shuci carrying the flowers in her arms, as they went to a restaurant outside the unit, considered the best in the area.
Perhaps because they frequent the place, and the boss learned about Huo Qinqi’s proposal today, they even specially prepared so dishes for them. A group sat around the table, lively as ever, and made Huo Qinqi drink quite a lot of wine.
The proposal, although public, was kept from the people like Jiang Jinsang and the group, but Huo Zheng and his wife were different. As soon as Huo Qinqi proposed, they received a live broadcast.
Liang Yun nearly cried.
"Our son is getting married, it’s a good thing, why are you crying?" Huo Zheng frowned, hurriedly wiping his wife’s tears, "Didn’t you hope for Qinqi to get married early? This is a good thing."
Liang Yun wiped her tears and said, "This brat has grown up, it’s the first ti I’ve heard him speak so much; when he was young he didn’t like to talk, and I even thought he might have a problem."
"..."
This kind of joyous news naturally needed to be spread, and Liang Yun quickly inford Fan Mingyu, who spread the word. The Jiang Family brothers soon caught wind, and the news quickly circulated within the small circle.
Many in the Beijing circle thought Shen Shuci and Huo Qinqi wouldn’t last because of their vastly different family backgrounds. Many people perceived their union as almost linking the Jiang Family with the Huo Family.
No one wanted either family to beco too dominant; they certainly hoped the two would part ways.
But reality gave them a harsh slap in the face.
Not only had the couple stayed together well, but they were engaged now, and the news from Fan Mingyu confird it wasn’t false.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Jinsang and others naturally offered their congratulations, though Qi Zeyan and Jiang Chengsi were a bit pitiful.
Qi Zeyan was directly called back ho by the elder Qi for a profound ideological education.
"... You always say Xiaohuo has a cold face, a sharp tongue, and isn’t likable, but no matter how unlikable he is, a girl is still willing to marry him. Qiqi, why is it that nobody wants you?"
"Look at you, with your fine features, how co no good girls fancy you?"
"Your friends have all gotten married one after another—Xiaowu’s child is about to be born—and yet you’re still a single dog. If it were , I’d be embarrassed to hang out with them."
...
Qi Zeyan took the lecture humbly and dared not speak.
As for Jiang Chengsi, he refused to believe it and called the old residence for verification, only to be reprimanded by the old lady.
"You’re very eager to inquire about others’ affairs. If only you were this eager in pursuing girls."
