Chapter 1826: Zichen Proposes

~7 min read 1,389 words

Naturally, the participation of siblings was indispensable for this kind of thing.

Zihan volunteered to be the general director, promising that she would definitely pull off the most romantic marriage proposal ceremony!

Jiangbian Park.

Gu Yuxin had been standing under the billboard for three minutes already; why hadn't Sheng Zichen arrived yet?

He had mysteriously invited her here, and even though the distance wasn't far, he refused to come together, instead letting her go first and saying he still had some things to do and would arrive shortly after.

She was getting a bit impatient and was just about to dial Zichen's number when she saw someone nearby exclaim, "My god, look, isn't that too beautiful?"

She couldn't help but look over along with the crowd, only to see brilliant fireworks lighting up the sky above the river.

Unlike ordinary fireworks, these had patterns.

First, a chubby little boy with wings appeared in the sky, followed immediately by a bow and arrow.

After the bow and arrow disappeared, the little boy reappeared; this time the bow and arrow were in his hands, the arrowhead pointing toward the moon, and after it was shot, a line of text appeared: Gu Yuxin, marry me!

Finally, two bright red hearts were imprinted together.

What was going on?

Even someone as smart as Gu Yuxin was stunned.

She covered her mouth with her hand, unable to even believe that what she had just seen was real.

Heavens!

Was it this romantic?

And this romantic marriage proposal ceremony belonged to her?

It didn't seem real; it was too dreamlike.

But the exclamations around her quickly pulled her back to reality, reminding her that this was real, absolutely, positively real!

"My god, isn't this too romantic?"

"Heavens, who is this lucky girl? If my boyfriend could propose to me like this, I would agree to him immediately..."

Just as Gu Yuxin came back to her senses, she saw Sheng Zichen walking toward her, dressed neatly and holding a large bouquet of red roses.

He walked toward her gracefully, handed over the roses, knelt on one knee, and took a diamond ring out of his pants pocket: "Yuxin, I love you, will you marry me?"

On the giant electronic screen across the river, photos of them together scrolled by, many of them from the beginning until now, each one a witness to their love.

"Say yes to him."

"Say yes to him."

"Say yes to him."

The onlookers were all egging her on, and at this moment, quite a few familiar faces were mixed in among the crowd.

Their classmates, friends, and Zichen's siblings were all there; with the atmosphere built up like this, Gu Yuxin was also moved.

She reached out her hand, let Zichen put the ring on her ring finger, and the two embraced; applause erupted all around.

Gu Yuxin returned home, showed off the ring on her ring finger, and announced to her family: "Sheng Zichen proposed to me, and I agreed."

"Really?"

"That's great."

"Our Yuxin is finally getting married."

"Being able to see you have a home before your grandfather and I close our eyes is the happiest thing for us old folks."

The whole family was very happy.

Since the proposal was accepted, the two families immediately began discussing the engagement matters; there was almost no disagreement, and it was settled very quickly.

The Gu family did not want a bride price.

The Gu family stated that whether it was the bride price or the dowry, it all belonged to the young couple; their family was marrying off a daughter, not selling one, but they had one request, which was that they hoped the young couple would live on their own after marriage.

The rules of wealthy families always hope that the whole big family stays together.

It was better for young people to live on their own; Shi Youxuan agreed to such a reasonable request immediately.

No problem.

Their family was not the kind of rigid household, nor did they have so many rules; whether they lived together or not didn't matter, as long as the family's hearts were in one place, living together or not was fine.

The time for Gu Yuxin to return to school was getting closer, so they had to get engaged quickly.

Although the time was rushed, the engagement banquet was very lively; Shi Yuke's family had just finished attending the wedding of someone else's second son, and they turned around to attend the eldest son's engagement banquet.

The couple was incredibly envious.

Gu Zhihao said: "If Meiyin and Yulong were obedient, our engagement banquet could also be held this lively."

Shi Yuke: "These two children are still fated but not destined to be together, there's no helping it."

When the window paper hadn't been pierced, Meiyin and Yulong were very close, and the siblings were always inseparable.

But now that the window paper had been pierced, they felt awkward even meeting, so the two stayed far away from each other and didn't see each other.

Meiyin was annoyed by her mother's nagging and blurted out: "So annoying, can you please not bring up things that have already passed?"

"In a few days, I'll bring my boyfriend back for you to see."

She really did bring one back, on her mother's birthday.

It was Shi Yuke's birthday, so Yulong naturally had to return; he came back early and helped sweep the courtyard, mainly because he couldn't help with anything else.

He was in a good mood, sweeping the courtyard while whistling and singing... until Meiyin walked into the courtyard arm-in-arm with a boy, and his smile froze on his face.

"Who is he?" Yulong's tone was sharp, with a hint of interrogating a prisoner.

Meiyin smilingly brought the boy in front of Yulong and introduced him: "Let me introduce you; this is my brother, and this is my boyfriend."

"Hello, brother."

The boy reached out his hand very politely, but received no response.

Yulong looked him up and down a few times and asked: "What's your name? Where do you live? How old are you this year? Do you work or go to school..."

This barrage of questioning was like a household registration check.

The boy's expression was a bit nervous, and just as he was about to answer, Meiyin protested.

"Brother, what are you doing? It's like you're interrogating a criminal. His name is Chen Lu, he's from my school. Knowing that much is enough, you don't need to worry about anything else. Remember your status, you're my brother!" Meiyin glared at him, then took Chen Lu's arm to go see her parents.

Hearing "boyfriend," Yulong's gaze became even more unfriendly...

Shi Yuke and her husband were very enthusiastic toward Chen Lu.

"Chen Lu, is it? Please, come inside and sit."

"Look at you, coming over is enough, why bring gifts? You're being too polite."

"Meiyin, go wash some fruit."

"Yulong, you keep Chen Lu company for a while."

This arrangement was very suitable; Yulong was thinking of taking advantage of Meiyin's absence to interrogate him more.

But Meiyin held onto Chen Lu and wouldn't let go, pouting in protest: "Mom, have my brother go wash the fruit, I'll stay with Chen Lu."

"Fine, I'll go."

He stood up, gritting his teeth, to go wash the fruit and make tea.

While he was washing the fruit, Gu Zhihao exclaimed: "What is wrong with you, child? Who washes apples with soap? Soap is for washing clothes."

Yulong retorted: "I see that kid has a fair complexion, he doesn't look like someone who exercises often, so his immunity isn't high. I'm washing them extra well with soap for him to eat so he doesn't get an upset stomach in our house."

Gu Zhihao:...

Apples are a good fruit, but Meiyin had disliked them since she was little, so the apples washed with soap were only to entertain Chen Lu.

The fruit was washed and brought over.

Yulong grabbed a large apple and handed it to Chen Lu, telling him to eat it.

He thanked him, then set it aside.

But that wouldn't do; Yulong's face darkened: "What do you mean by that? Are you looking down on me?"

"My Wife Always Wants to Anger Me"

Like "My Wife Always Wants to Anger Me"
