Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Huo Zheng’s voice was tender and intimate as he spoke into Lin Xiaowan’s ear. It was an affectionate whisper between lovers.
Although they had been together for a long time, Lin Xiaowan’s face still heated up. She laughed awkwardly and asked, “Who taught you this method? It’s a little cheesy.”
Despite her words, the corners of her lips were curled up. She was clearly very happy.
Huo Zheng knew this and did not mind her words. He held her soft hand and helped her put on the ring.
Lin Xiaowan finally understood why Gu Yuwu asked for her opinion regarding marriage. No wonder the other party left to make a phone call and did not return. It seemed like everything had been planned in advance. She looked at the ring on her finger and asked, puzzled, “Why did you have to make such a huge roundabout and ask Sister Yuwu to invite me out first?”
“So she can find out about your opinion and thoughts regarding this matter,” Huo Zheng replied.
Lin Xiaowan thought about something else and asked again, “Is it really difficult to make reservations here?”
The food was truly delicious, and the atmosphere was good as well. It was a pity that Gu Yuwu could not try it.
“Not really,” Huo Zheng said with a smile, “Occasionally, I can pull some strings.”
“Then, if 1 had told Sister Yuwu I didn’t want to get married, wouldn’t your preparation be in vain?”
“It wouldn’t be in vain no matter what. If you didn’t want to get married, then we’d treat it as a normal dinner,” Huo Zheng said. Then, he asked tentatively, “You really don’t remember what day it is today?”
Lin Xiaowan thought about it for a long time, but she was still clueless. She asked, “No, what day is it today?”
Huo Zheng smiled and avoided the question. Instead, he said that he had another gift for her to celebrate his success.
“What gift?” Lin Xiaowan asked curiously.
Huo Zheng held her hand and stood up before he said, “It’s not here.”
Huo Zheng brought Lin Xiaowan to the amusement park where they first met.
It was brightly lit at night. The lights were dazzling. It was very lively since it was open until midnight.
Lin Xiaowan naturally remembered this place. “Wow, I haven’t been here in a long time. Did you hide your gift here? What is it? Is it an ice-cream truck?”
After all, she had bought ice cream for Huo Dabao and Huo Erbao when they first met.
Huo Zheng pinched her nose lightly and said, “Stop dreaming.”
Huo Zheng led Lin Xiaowan to a castle, which was not open to the public, near the heart of the amusement park. The huge fountain in the square in front of the castle was where all kinds of activities were held.
This was Lin Xiaowan’s first time entering this place. It was not very big inside. He led her to the balcony on the second floor that was filled with flowers. Although it was not very high, the view was very good.
Lin Xiaowan asked, slightly impatient, “Where’s the gift?”
Huo Zheng gently covered her eyes with his hands before he slightly raised her head. He said, “You’ll be able to see your gift after this…”
“How am I going to see the gift if…”
He was covering her eyes after all.
Before she could finish speaking, he suddenly removed his hand and held her waist.
A streak of golden light shot up into the dark sky. With a boom, fireworks bloomed. After that, fireworks shot up into the sky one after another, exploding in gorgeous colors.
The people in the amusement park looked up and admired the fireworks, thinking that it was an event.
Lin Xiaowan watched with her mouth slightly agape. After a moment, she exclaimed, “Wow!”
The fireworks suddenly changed positions; one on the left and one on the right. In between them, dots of white light appeared, forming a date. Below the date, the dots of white light formed the picture of a man, a woman, and two kids in the middle.
It was a drone show.
Those who did not know better might think it was a family of four, but Lin Xiaowan knew better. Her eyes lit up immediately.
Huo Zheng looked at the enlightened expression on Lin Xiaowan’s face before he lowered his head to kiss her and asked, “Do you remember now?”
On this day three years ago, Lin Xiaowan and Huo Zheng met for the first time. The two children depicted in the sky were Huo Dabao and Huo Erbao, whom Lin Xiaowan found when they were lost.
Lin Xiaowan’s face was slightly red. “Y-you still remember?”
Huo Zheng stroked her cheek and said, “Of course. I’m not a forgetful and silly fool, after all.”
Lin Xiaowan naturally knew Huo Zheng was referring to her. She puffed her cheeks up and glared at him. Instead of looking fierce, she only looked cute as she said, “I’m not a fool!”
Huo Zheng only smiled in response. Inwardly, he thought to himself, ‘I didn’t name names. Why is she rushing to admit she’s the fool?’
The fireworks continued to explode in the sky. At the same time, the drones began to change their formation. The date changed from three years ago to today, and the picture below changed to that of a traditional ring and a man proposing to a woman on his knee.
Lin Xiaowan said with a pout, “It’s not accurate. After all, President Huo didn’t kneel down when he asked me to marry him.”
Huo Zheng’s smile widened. He released his hold on her waist. Without any hesitation, he fell to one knee and held her hand that was wearing the ring.
Lin Xiaowan was shocked. “Get up quickly. I was just joking with you!”
Huo Zheng kissed the back of her hand and said, “Miss Lin Xiaowan, will you marry Mr. Huo Zheng?”
Then, without waiting for Lin Xiaowan’s reply, he said, “There’s nothing you can do even if you disagree. You’ve already put on the ring.”
Lin Xiaowan was amused by his roguish behavior. She said, “I agree, I agree. Hurry up and get up.”
In the end, the drone and fireworks show made the headlines. After all, it was too conspicuous.
In the beginning, only people in Shengjing knew about this matter, but it did not take long before it spread even further. In just a while, many people were fervently discussing this matter.
Lin Xiaowan only found out about it during breakfast. It was Gu Yuwu who had forwarded the news to her.
[Gu Yuwu: Your President Huo is really amazing. He’s secretly showing his marriage to everyone.]
[Lin Xiaowan: We haven’t started planning our marriage yet. By the way, where did you go yesterday? The food was really delicious. Let’s go together next time…]
[Gu Yuwu: I was just a tool yesterday. Fortunately, President Huo is considerate. I’ll be having dinner there tonight with my husband, courtesy of President Huo. Otherwise, I’d suffer a loss..]
