Chapter 237: Marry Me

~8 min read 1,401 words

Bai Shunan took notes on her draft while asking, "What words are there? As long as it has nothing to do with us, just close the window."

"President Bai, it has... quite a lot to do with you," the Secretary said, then looked at the airplane outside.

Bai Shunan felt annoyed, but she could only close her notebook and walk to the window.

That helicopter was actually trailing two banners; one read: Bai Shunan, marry me!

The other read: Bai Shunan, I love you.

The fuselage of the helicopter was also painted pink, and it featured a portrait of Bai Shunan.

Because the helicopter was far too eye-catching, many people nearby were watching, and some were even holding cameras to take photos and record videos.

Such a nouveau riche proposal must be an idea some wealthy young master came up with, right?

Bai Shunan crossed her arms over her chest and smiled faintly.

She knew at a glance that it was Gu Yunting who had done this.

Only he would have such great audacity.

She couldn't help but think of the past; every time Mo Wanqing returned, he would have her plan romantic ceremonies. This helicopter proposal now was surely something he had learned from some wedding planning company.

Before long, a drone flew out from the helicopter.

The drone flew to Bai Shunan's window, carrying a box dangling from it; it bore the logo of a well-known jewelry brand, and it went without saying that it was a wedding ring.

The girls in the company were extremely envious, and the little Secretary looked at her with envy as well.

"President Bai, how romantic. Are you... going to accept?"

Who would have thought, Bai Shunan closed the window, pulled the curtains shut, and said sternly, "Let's continue the meeting."

Only someone with a love-addled brain would accept a marriage proposal while at work.

The Secretary and the subordinates all looked at Bai Shunan in surprise, as if she were some strange creature in a zoo.

Did she have a grudge against romance?

The meeting continued.

The subordinates tried for a moment to see even a hint of distraction in her expression.

However, there was none.

She listened attentively from beginning to end; one subordinate stated a number incorrectly, and she corrected it immediately, also telling this subordinate to focus, as this meeting was very important and everyone's time was precious.

The phone at her side flashed from time to time, but she acted as if she didn't see it.

Outside, the sound of the helicopter gradually faded away, and the people watching the spectacle gradually dispersed.

Just when they thought the proposal drama had ended there, who would have thought that when it was time to get off work, the little Secretary ran in again: "President Bai, that person who proposed has appeared."

Bai Shunan asked, "Where?"

"At the entrance, there are so many roses. President Bai, aren't you going out to take a look?"

Bai Shunan said, "Wait a moment, let me finish approving these documents first."

The little Secretary clicked her tongue; her boss was truly a beautiful and intelligent woman. Thinking about it, only such a woman could accomplish great things.

Ten-odd minutes later, Bai Shunan walked out of the company entrance.

Many people were gathered outside, layer upon layer, all watching the spectacle; there were employees from her own company, employees from other companies, quite a few passersby, and even television reporters had come.

Seeing Bai Shunan come out, the crowd made way.

A pink tricycle was parked in front, and the 9,999 roses on it were blooming quite brilliantly. In front of the tricycle, Gu Yunting, dressed in white, was holding a guitar and singing.

"The warm spring blossoms take away the sorrow of winter, the breeze brings a romantic scent, every love song suddenly becomes full of meaning, and I suddenly see you at this very moment..."

Seeing the scene before her, Bai Shunan couldn't help but laugh.

Such a cringey proposal scene definitely wasn't thought up by a wedding planning company; it must have been Gu Yunting's own idea.

The simpler things are, the easier it is for them to move people.

Someone started cheering: "Marry him, marry him..."

Gu Yunting was still singing; this guy actually had a very pleasant voice, and the way he sang was no different from a professional singer.

Moreover, he sang very affectionately.

It was just that the tricycle in the back was very comical.

After the song finished, Gu Yunting put down the guitar, and then, who knows what he was thinking, he plucked the rose petals off the tricycle and scattered them into the sky.

He probably wanted to create a rose rain, but a middle-aged man working in cleaning shouted, "Don't litter! I'll have to sweep it up in a bit."

Some girls at the scene chimed in: "Yeah, if you don't want them, you can give them to us! Such beautiful roses, don't waste them."

Bai Shunan wanted to laugh again.

In this kind of proposal ceremony, as long as the person being proposed to laughs, then the matter is more than halfway to success.

Gu Yunting couldn't be bothered to hand out the flowers anymore. He said to the people beside him, "If you all like these flowers, just line up to take them. I have more at home... Hey, line up, line up, you must line up..."

In the blink of an eye, the 9,999 roses were snatched up.

Having taken something, people felt obligated; once these people had the flowers, they cheered even more vigorously, "Marry him, marry him!"

At this moment, Gu Yunting picked up that jewelry box again and walked in front of Bai Shunan: "Nannan, marry me. I don't know how to say flowery words, I just want to give you happiness and never let you down in this life."

"What if you can't do it?" Bai Shunan asked.

"If I can't do it, I will be like this flower." He snapped the flower in two.

Bai Shunan smiled.

"Are you agreeing?" Gu Yunting asked.

"I haven't agreed yet, I just think this matter can be discussed. Marriage cannot be rash; there are many details, such as where to hold the wedding, whose house to spend the Lunar New Year at, whose surname the children will take, and if we can't have children, are you willing to be DINKs? Does your family have any customs of valuing boys over girls, and how much will the bride price be, and who will do the housework after marriage? Will the postpartum confinement be at home or at a confinement center, and so on."

Gu Yunting: "I'll listen to my wife; whatever my wife wants, that's how it will be. As for my parents, you don't need to worry, they are right here."

Bai Shunan: "Huh?"

In the crowd, the parents of the Gu Family also walked out.

Mother Gu walked straight up to Bai Shunan: "Nannan, you know, I have always wanted you to be my daughter-in-law, but in the past, my Yunting was ignorant and hurt your heart. Fortunately, after all this time, you two have come back together. Just marry him. Our family does not have the custom of valuing boys over girls. If you want to go to the best postpartum care center for your confinement, that is fine, or if you want to hire eight or ten maternity matrons, that is also fine, anything is okay. After the wedding, we will not live with you, and I guarantee there will be no mother-in-law and daughter-in-law conflicts."

……

Beishi.

On this day, Bai Shuruo, Han Yangting, Ling Feng, Ni Xianglei, and others were having dinner together again.

During the meal, Ni Xianglei glanced at his social media feed, and his expression turned to one of shock.

Bai Shuruo happened to see it, and she leaned against Han Yangting and asked: "Leizi, what are you doing? What did you see that surprised you so much?"

Ni Xianglei looked at Ling Feng, thought for a moment, and then said: "Your sister is getting married."

"What?"

"See for yourself on social media."

Bai Shuruo hurriedly looked.

Ling Feng also opened his social media feed.

Although he had already prepared himself mentally, when he saw the photos Bai Shunan had posted, he still felt a sense of emptiness in his heart.
