Chapter 308 Next Wednesday, Bai Yu is getting engaged.

Huo Shenyuan forcefully snatched the fragrance from her mouth, wishing he could swallow her whole.

Every cell in his body was screaming, wanting her, craving her...

That was his tranquility, the light of his life.

Before long, he lost control.

Qingning has gone mad too; she couldn't believe a man could act like this...

...

The next day, when Huo Shenyuan woke up, he had a splitting headache.

He opened his eyes and was greeted by an unfamiliar ceiling, with a faint scent of citrus in the air.

On the bedside table, a pot of sunflowers swayed to the music, its head bobbing foolishly.

This is Jiang Cheng's room.

He sat up abruptly, and his clothes were completely intact.

What happened?

He patted his throbbing head, and fragmented images exploded in his mind.

Dim lighting, a soft bed, and tranquility...

It felt like a dream, so beautiful.

The scene was so real that it froze his blood.

He sprang up from the bed, squeezing out two words.

"Jiang Cheng!"

The bathroom door clicked open.

Jiang Cheng walked out with her short, wet hair, wrapped in a large bathrobe, and was vigorously drying her hair.

"Jiang Cheng!"

Huo Shenyuan rushed over and grabbed her arms tightly with both hands, his strength almost embedding himself into her bones.

His voice was trembling.

"Did I...do anything excessive last night?"

Jiang Cheng looked up at him; his eyes were clear and bright. Then, she smiled.

"Of course."

Huo Shenyuan's heart stopped.

"You hugged my pillow and cried out all night."

She paused, deliberately drawing out her words, mimicking his drunken tone.

“What… Ning, oh, it’s Qingning.”

"It's one thing for you to be drunk and act crazy, but you also put on repeat the same song, keeping me up all night."

Huo Shenyuan stood there, stunned. Were those beautiful images in his mind just a dream?

"That's it?" He still didn't believe it.

"Otherwise what? What else do you want?"

Jiang Cheng tossed the towel aside, rolled her eyes at him, and said in an extremely disdainful tone.

"Please don't take my bed anymore. I slept on the sofa all night, and now my back aches and my bones feel like they're about to fall apart."

She rubbed her lower back, looking utterly dejected.

Thankfully, she woke up early.

As dawn approached, she got up, hurriedly dressed him, and then brought him back.

As for that woman, Lin Xia...

She would never dare to tell anyone what bad things she had done.

Huo Shenyuan's eyes narrowed suddenly, his gaze settling on her fair neck.

There were two conspicuous red marks there.

"What's this?"

Jiang Cheng's heart skipped a beat, but she was already used to it on her face and reached out to scratch it lightly.

"Mosquito bites, look, you have some too."

She pointed to his Adam's apple.

"This time it's fair, they didn't just cheat me."

In her excitement last night, she couldn't control herself and bit his Adam's apple.

Those six clear teeth marks almost scared her to death.

Later, she could only desperately kiss and scratch that spot to finally manage to look like this ghost.

Huo Shenyuan walked to the mirror with some doubt.

Seeing the messy red marks on my Adam's apple, I couldn't really make out any shape.

I guess the whole Mosquito family came to his place for a team-building activity last night.

"Change your clothes and go have breakfast," Huo Shenyuan said, then went to the balcony to smoke.

Qingning's eyes flickered, and she let out a heavy sigh of relief, thinking she had passed the test...

That was close!

She did a good job of deceiving everyone this time, but she didn't know she needed to take emergency contraception...

...

At this moment, on the east side of Happiness Island.

An area of ​​sea so clean it was unbelievable was specially designated.

A yacht was anchored at sea, and several motorboats were waiting a short distance away. All kinds of equipment for underwater filming were ready.

Fu Beichen was dressed in a sharp white suit, the fabric clinging to his broad shoulders and muscular waist, making him look tall and straight.

Gu Xingnian wore that stunning blue wedding dress, which had been modified to be simple and elegant, with the skirt spreading out on the deck like shimmering waves.

Today, they're filming an underwater special.

The two put on simple diving masks, and Fu Beichen reached out and held her small hand tightly.

He didn't say anything, he just gestured with his eyes.

Gu Xingnian understood and nodded.

They jumped into the sea together.

The icy seawater instantly enveloped my entire body, yet I felt no chill at all.

Fu Beichen led her steadily deeper into the water.

The photographer, dressed in a full diving suit, followed behind carrying equipment, his camera constantly tracking them.

This is their third time going to the bottom of the sea together.

Unlike the previous two brushes with death, this time it was a completely sweet journey.

This was the first time Gu Xingnian had the opportunity to calmly appreciate the seabed.

Schools of colorful fish darted past them, and vast coral reefs of various shapes and sizes created a scene of unreal beauty.

Suddenly, Gu Xingnian's gaze froze.

She was so startled by the sight before her that she stopped what she was doing.

Not far away, on a stretch of open sand, stood six enormous Roman columns.

Next to it is a plaster statue of Cupid with wings, holding a bow and arrow, aiming at two giant hearts that are intertwined and flashing with colorful lights.

A light blue cloth floats gently in the sea, with a line of words written on it in waterproof ink.

[Niannian, in the next life, I still want to marry you.]

Gu Xingnian felt her heart being gently bumped.

She smiled, turned to look at him, and quickly tapped his palm a few times with her finger.

Did you plan this?

Fu Beichen replied with a smile in his eyes.

This is a masterpiece of nature.

Gu Xingnian couldn't help herself, and a string of tiny bubbles popped out from her lips.

This guy is really something else.

He pulled her along and swam to a giant clam, then pointed at it.

Gu Xingnian looked at him, her eyes questioning.

He just looked at her encouragingly.

Gu Xingnian stretched out her slender fingers and gently opened the large clam.

A necklace lay quietly inside.

The pendant is a deep blue diamond necklace, with the diamond crafted into a heart shape, radiating a captivating, ethereal blue hue as it is refracted by the seawater.

She looked up at him in surprise.

She recognized it; it was "Deep Blue," the world's largest existing blue diamond, priceless.

Fu Beichen picked up the necklace, gently wrapped it around her neck, and put it on her wrist himself.

The deep blue of the gemstone complemented her blue tulle dress perfectly, making her skin appear even whiter and stunningly beautiful.

He slowly tapped the words on her small palm.

This deep blue aquarium is the token of our love at sea.

[Wife, I love you, thank you for being there.]

A sweet feeling welled up in Gu Xingnian's heart.

She replied to him.

【very beautiful. 】

Honey, I love you too.

Fu Beichen led her by the hand, walking among several Roman columns. The hem of her wedding dress billowed out completely in the water, like a blooming blue enchantress.

Suddenly, without warning, Fu Beichen took off his diving goggles.

A handsome and deep-set face was clearly displayed before her eyes.

His black hair floated in the water, but his eyes were incredibly focused.

Gu Xingnian also took off her diving mask and looked at him with burning eyes.

The next second, Fu Beichen reached out and pressed his strong hand against her lower back, pulling her towards him.

He lowered his head and kissed her lips precisely.

Without any barriers, it was an incredibly real, deep kiss.

Surrounded by a dazzling underwater world, the photographer's lens captured this breathtaking scene.

He and she are the center of the painting.

The entire sea was bathed in sunshine, and the air was filled with the scent of happiness.

...

Haicheng is shrouded in dark clouds today, and the rain is drizzling on and on.

As night deepened, the heating in the VIP private room of Fanxing was turned up high.

Director Chen and his secretary of the science museum sat on one side, while Sheng Weiwei and her assistant Lin Xiaoli stood beside them. Two other managers from the science museum also arrived.

The main seat at the round table and the other side were still empty.

Director Chen is hosting a dinner, and Mu Jin, as a construction contractor, will definitely be there, as will a representative from Shengchuang Financial.

But Sheng Weiwei felt that Bai Yu would most likely not grace such a small occasion with his presence.

After all, even she came representing the Sheng family.

Not long after, the door to the private room was pushed open.

Mu Jin arrived, followed by a woman with a seductive figure and an eye-catching red dress.

Director Chen immediately went to greet him, his face beaming with a warm smile.

"Mr. Mu, please have a seat."

Mu Jin sat down on the other side, right opposite Sheng Weiwei, and nodded to her.

The two seats at the head of the table are still empty.

Just as all the dishes were being served, the door to the private room was pushed open again.

Bai Yu's tall and straight figure appeared at the door.

He wore a well-tailored black suit today, exuding confidence and charisma with his broad shoulders and long legs.

What's worse, his hand was holding that of a beautiful woman.

The woman was wearing a sexy little black dress, which made her skin appear so white it seemed to glow.

Everyone in the private room stood up instantly.

Director Chen was so excited that his face turned red, and he hurriedly went to greet him.

"Mr. Bai, it's so great that you could come. And this is..."

Bai Yu's gaze swept across the entire room, finally settling on Director Chen.

"Miss Tong from Country F."

"Miss Tong, hello." Director Chen smiled, then suddenly stopped, his expression turning to surprise. "The Tong family of F country, could it be the Tong family that ranks first among the four great noble families?"

Bai Yu gave him an approving look.

"Director Chen, you have insight."

"Mr. Bai, Ms. Tong, please have a seat, please have a seat." Director Chen lowered his head even further.

Tong Hua nodded slightly, her demeanor graceful, and sat down in the main seat with Bai Yu.

Lin Xiaoli was filled with shock. She leaned close to Sheng Weiwei's ear and whispered something.

"The Tong family of Country F is incredibly wealthy. This Miss Tong and President Bai are a perfect match, a powerful alliance."

Sheng Weiwei's heart sank suddenly.

What kind of yarn should I get?

She sized up the woman named Tong Hua; aside from her pretty face and money, she probably didn't have any real skills...

Mu Jin suddenly spoke, shattering her illusion.

"Three years ago, I had the honor of attending a banquet hosted by the Tong family. At that time, I witnessed Miss Tong's exceptional talent in both calligraphy and painting, as well as her first-rate musical skills. I heard that she once played a duet with Madam Bai, which was simply a match made in heaven."

"I never expected to see Miss Tong here again today. It's truly an honor."

He was an expert in both calligraphy and painting, and a first-rate musician.

He even played a duet with Madam Bai.

It seems that Madam Bai is quite satisfied with her.

Sheng Weiwei's fingers trembled almost imperceptibly.

She could sense that the way everyone looked at Tong Hua had become more genuinely appreciative.

Director Chen stood up, raised his glass, and broke the silence.

"Today is a joyous occasion as the science museum is completed. I'm hosting this banquet here firstly to thank General Manager Bai, General Manager Mu, and Ms. Sheng for their tremendous support, and secondly to discuss with you all the opening date of the science museum."

"Let me first raise a toast to everyone."

Director Chen raised his glass first, and everyone else followed suit.

Bai Yu suddenly turned his head and said something gently to Tong Hua.

"This liquor is too strong; it's not suitable for you."

His voice wasn't loud, but it reached everyone's ears clearly.

He then gave instructions to the waiter.

"Could you please bring me a bottle of FP juice?"

"Okay, please wait a moment." The waiter immediately ran out.

"FP's juice is limited to 10,000 bottles worldwide, each priced at 10,000 yuan. President Bai is so considerate," Lin Xiaoli whispered to herself.

Bai Yu ignored the whispers around him and placed a cup of tea next to Tong Hua.

"You can drink this cup of tea instead of wine."

That thoughtfulness was simply the ultimate.

"Cheers." Bai Yu then raised his glass to everyone.

Everyone immediately drank the wine in their glasses in one gulp.

The fiery liquor slid down her throat, burning her eyes and suddenly bringing tears to her eyes.

She hadn't planned to drink alcohol; she just wanted to see if he would have someone replace it with juice.

It seems that his mind is no longer on her.

Thinking back to how he stood up for her, punished Vice President Lian, and beat up President Zhang... now it all seems like a huge joke.

Her heart skipped a beat.

It turns out he also has such a gentle and considerate side.

However, this tenderness is no longer meant for her.

Bai Yu glanced at her, expressionless, and quickly looked away.

Director Chen invited everyone to eat.

Bai Yu picked up a piece of fish meat, deboned, and placed it steadily into Tong Hua's bowl.

Tong Hua smiled gently at him, her smile bright and radiant.

Lin Xiaoli, watching from the side, was astonished and couldn't help but blurt out a comment.

"President Bai is so shrewd! It seems that this lady in front of us is the future president's wife of Shengchuang Financial."

Sheng Weiwei didn't say anything and just lowered her head to eat.

Mu Jin suddenly spoke again.

"Brother Yu, I heard from Yang Fan the other day that you're getting engaged. Is that true?"

Bai Yuzheng, without pausing his hand as he served Tong Hua food, answered earnestly.

"That's right, next Wednesday, the 15th, is a good day."

He then added profoundly, "What some people don't want, others will always appreciate."

Sheng Weiwei suddenly looked up at him.

Without looking up, he placed another piece of food on Tong Hua's plate.

Next Wednesday.

Isn't that my birthday?

If he forgot, then so be it.

Why did you deliberately choose that day to get engaged in order to provoke her?

That damned bastard...
