Chapter 1366: Sharp‑Tongued Tsundere Celebrity & Ultra‑Wealthy Insecure Wife 42

This is too big, my arms ache from holding it!

Cheng Xi placed the plate on the table, "Guess what it is?"

Mu Sen was honest: "Vegetables."

No no no, it's me! Kitchen ten-year veteran, spent three hours making this love dish!

Cheng Xi patted his chest, "Look how much I love you—others don't have this fortune."

Mu Sen smiled sincerely, pulled over Cheng Xi, who spoke awkwardly, and praised him for a long time; together they tasted the love dish.

When it was Xiang Xiaoyu's turn, her appeased mood fluctuated slightly; she embarrassedly coughed several times before gripping her notebook tightly.

You said earlier… you wanted to take our relationship further, and I replied then that we should wait until our careers stabilize before considering it.

Lin Cheng listened intently, suddenly realizing something; his eyes held deep anxiety and anticipation, fearing it wasn't the answer he had in mind.

Now I answer that question again.

Xiang Xiaoyu shoved the household register hidden in her sun‑sleeve into Lin Cheng's hands, speaking faster: "I discussed it with my parents for a long time; the carefully considered result will surely not be wrong."

"Xiaoyu!" Lin Cheng choked, hugging her excitedly: "I finally have a status!!"

——

After viewing the previous two groups' gifts, when Shen Shi took the gift, being stared at by so many eyes made him inexplicably nervous.

He was quite serious, pulling a handwritten note from his pocket and handing it to Jin Chen.

"Look later," Shen Shi whispered.

Okay.

Jin Chen kept it carefully, continuing to gaze at him with gentle eyes, slightly tilting his head.

Shen Shi took out a diamond ring.

Jin Chen looked somewhat surprised at the opened ring, truly not expecting the gift to be this.

"Wow—" the four onlookers were startled by the carats of these two diamond rings: "This is too flashy!"

Shen Shi pursed his lips, took Jin Chen's hand; the night breeze brushed his shirt, creating a soft, slow undulation like being in the ocean.

It's a wedding ring, a belated gift.

Will you like it?

As soon as his words fell, Jin Chen, under Shen Shi's slightly nervous gaze, placed one of the rings on him.

I really like it.

The ring‑exchange ceremony was belated, yet upon reflection it felt just right.

It ought to be exchanged when we love each other most deeply.

Shen Shi stroked the ring, his eyes a little moist; he closed his eyes and accepted the light kiss upon them.

【Detected Villain Blackening Value -10, total 0!】

【Ahhhhh rings! Proposal! Love lunchbox! I'm dying of sweetness!!】

【Each gift more meaningful than the last, waaaah you all better be okay!!】

【Curious about the letter's contents! Will Jin Chen show it to us?】

Of course not.

Jin Chen even, after the event segment ended, with night covering the whole sea area, went around behind the tent to the beach to peek secretly.

To my beloved:

This letter was written while you were away filming; I miss you a bit, but I don't want to disturb your work.

I often feel like a pawn with no retreat, pushed by everything to today's position; emotional value is the most insignificant speck of dust, nobody cares.

I thought giving you everything was love; later I realized that I, who had never received emotional value, naturally overlooked your feelings, which is not good.

Fortunately there is still an opportunity to resolve the misunderstanding.

You always say I act cute toward you because I feel loved in the little things, so I use hugs and intimacy to express my inexpressible feelings; fortunately this isn't hard.

I think, from now on I won't fear aging anymore; we can accompany each other to old age, turning companionship into a long, flowing time, which is also something to look forward to.

I love you deeply, just as I feel love from you; this is the best response I can give to this relationship.

I miss you again.

——

The humid sea breeze and gentle waves sounded by the ear, awakening the entranced letter‑reader.

Jin Chen put the letter away, placed it in the inner pocket of his shirt near his heart, and strode toward Shen Shi in front of the tent.

He approached, then they embraced tightly.

He lowered his head to gaze into his lover's eyes, seeing fervent, inarticulate emotion.

I have finished reading the letter.

Jin Chen gently stroked Shen Shi's cheek, his voice so soft it was almost unreal: "Shen Shi, I want to kiss you."

Shen Shi's finger, tracing his lover's brow, slid down, lightly touching his lips; he tilted his head up to kiss the corner of his mouth.

They kissed, then interlaced their fingers.

Under the moonlight the beach was silvery white, the sea deep blue.

Their mingled breath was hot and humid, the kiss also damp.
