Chapter Two: On the day of the proposal, he was entangled with a "pervert".

Upon hearing Huo Junjun mention the "Zhou family," Su Muci's eyes darkened.

Apart from her best friend, no one around her knew that she was once the eldest daughter of the Zhou family. She had experienced the perfect warmth of a family, just like most girls.

However, when she was thirteen, her scumbag father, Zhou Wangyuan, revealed that she had an illegitimate daughter and used the divorce agreement to force her mother to commit suicide by jumping off a building.

After her mother died, her scumbag father's mistress and illegitimate daughter moved into the house. Because the illegitimate daughter wanted to be the only eldest daughter of the Zhou family, the scumbag father changed Zhou Muci's name to Su Muci, kicked her out to live in the basement, and made her never see the light of day again...

She suffered five years of torment and abuse in the basement before finally escaping the Zhou family with the help of her nanny.

That winter night, she was thinly dressed, huddled in the snow, unable to see the light or the future.

Fu Hengzhi suddenly appeared in front of her and hugged her tightly when she looked like a beggar.

The first thing he said to her stayed with her for three years.

"Silly girl, why are you here all alone? Come home with me, okay?"

From then on, Fu Hengzhi became the light in her life.

She couldn't imagine how she would survive if she lost Fu Hengzhi...

For the past three years, Su Muci has kept their rented apartment spotless. She goes back and forth between the market and the kitchen, studying recipes, all to please him and ensure that he can have a hot meal whenever he comes home.

She thought she could spend the rest of her life with him in such warmth and happiness.

But last night, Fu Hengzhi did not return home. His coldness in the KTV room and the "three-year rule" she saw online made every cell in her body feel uncomfortable and uneasy.

After much deliberation, Su Muci thought that perhaps a marriage certificate and the birth of a child could alleviate his sudden coldness.

But Fu Hengzhi had said that he was just a deliveryman with a monthly salary of four thousand yuan, with no house or car, and he was too ashamed to marry her.

So this time, it was her turn to take that step—to propose to him.

She wanted to tell Fu Hengzhi that even if he had nothing, she was willing to spend her life with him.

No matter how Huo Junjun tried to persuade her over the phone, Su Muci remained determined.

That afternoon, she went to the Jiangcheng Central Building to buy a pair of ready-made wedding rings, and then went to the supermarket to buy Fu Hengzhi's favorite dishes, preparing to propose to him that night!

As dusk approached, Fu Hengzhi returned, and the restaurant was already bustling with activity.

Su Muci stepped forward to greet him, her eyes filled with sincere admiration: "Hengzhi, you must be tired from work! I made your favorite crayfish!"

Whenever Su Muci cooks a delicious meal, her husband Fu Hengzhi always hugs her and praises her.

But today, just like last night at the karaoke bar, when he saw the table full of hot dishes and the marks left on her fingers from processing the crayfish, a barely perceptible hint of annoyance flashed in his eyes.

Just then, Fu Hengzhi's phone rang.

Group message pop-up:

Breaking news! Su Muci came to my jewelry store today and bought a pair of wedding rings for four thousand yuan. Guess what she's up to?

Is this idiot going to propose to our Young Master Fu?

[A four-thousand-yuan ring to propose to Young Master Fu? Hahaha, only a girl from the slums would dare to be so confident! This thing isn't even good enough to be a toy for our Young Master Fu!]

【Hengzhi, let her beg, but she has to beg in public~】

The last message was posted by Zhou Mengying.

Fu Hengzhi put his phone back in his pocket, and the annoyance in his eyes disappeared when he looked at Su Muci again.

"Porcelain".

He stepped forward, gently pulled her into his arms, and said casually, "Today when I was delivering packages, I saw a girl publicly proposing to her boyfriend on the pedestrian street."

"If a girl is willing to publicly propose to him, this man must be able to live without her for the rest of his life, right?"

Upon hearing Fu Hengzhi's pointed words, Su Muci's pupils dilated in surprise. The next second, she suddenly broke free from his embrace in a panic: "Hengzhi, I, I suddenly remembered that I forgot to put a seasoning in the crayfish today. Please wait a moment, it will be ready soon!"

She hurriedly picked up the plate of crayfish and went back to the kitchen.

Because her engagement ring was on one of the lobster claws inside!

Su Muci had originally awkwardly wanted to propose at the dinner table like in TV dramas, but after he said that, she realized that he actually liked being proposed to in public.

After returning to the kitchen, she busily placed orders on her phone.

Ribbons, balloons, flowers... Delivery address: Jiangcheng Central Square.

That's the place with the most people in Jiangcheng.

After finalizing all the arrangements, she brought the crayfish back to the table and said with a smile, "It's all set now, Hengzhi, have a taste."

Fu Hengzhi put on his gloves, tasted one, and said with a hint of sarcasm, "It tastes good."

Upon hearing this, Su Muci blushed shyly and asked awkwardly, "Hengzhi, there's an event at the central square at eight o'clock tonight. Could you... come with me for a stroll?"

"Okay, but I have to deliver a few packages tonight. Let's meet at Jiangcheng Central Square at eight o'clock."

Upon hearing that he had accepted the proposal, Su Muci was filled with the nervousness of the proposal, and her heart was pounding wildly.

After the meal, Fu Hengzhi went out to deliver packages as usual.

Su Muci straightened his collar and gently reminded him, "Hengzhi, be careful when riding your bike, don't tire yourself out..."

Fu Hengzhi pinched her cheek affectionately.

"Okay, see you tonight."

See you tonight...

As soon as Su Muchi finished speaking, Fu Hengzhi turned and left impatiently.

After turning the corner of the corridor, he took out a wet wipe from his pocket and repeatedly wiped the finger that had just touched Su Muci.

His eyes were filled with coldness.

"Propose to me? Ha!"

He coldly tossed the used wet wipe into the trash can and strode away from the residential complex.

Inside the rented room, Su Muci tidied up the room, changed into a beautiful white dress, and carefully applied light makeup to her face, preparing for the marriage proposal that evening.

Suddenly, a text message popped up on Su Muci's phone screen:

You left something in my car last night. Send me your address and I'll return it to you.

Su Muchi's pupils widened slightly in surprise.

Last night? The car?

Suddenly, my heart tightened.

She only took one ride last night... The person who sent the text message was that perverted driver!

She's actually been harassed?!

Su Muci glanced back in a panic and fear, and after confirming that no strangers had broken into the room, she typed a message with trembling fingers: "How did you know my phone number?"

Instead of answering her question, the other party simply said, "Come pick it up from where you got on the bus last night within half an hour, or I'll give it to your boyfriend."

Su Muci: "!"

He even knew she had a boyfriend? Had this pervert been stalking her all along?!

I'm proposing to Fu Hengzhi tonight, and I can't let him interfere with me at this crucial moment. What if Hengzhi misunderstands something?

Su Muci was in a panic, but she secretly hid pepper spray in her bag and went to the place where she had hitchhiked last time.

Sure enough, I saw a familiar black car parked on the side of the road.

The sun hadn't set yet, and there were other pedestrians waiting at the bus stops around the area, as well as surveillance cameras on both sides of the road.

Whatever the man's purpose may be, he probably wouldn't dare to do anything in public.

Su Muci mustered her courage and took a step towards the car...
