Chapter Forty-Eight

"woke up?"

Liang Yuheng pressed a button on the wall, and the curtains opened automatically, letting in bright sunlight.

Shi Qing rolled over and snuggled into Liang Yuheng's arms, wanting to rest a bit before getting up.

She touched Liang Yuheng's furry body, opened her eyes and saw that he was wearing that blue nightgown.

"What time is it?" Shi Qing still squinted, smelling his scent.

Liang Yuheng's hand slid across her smooth back: "Not even nine o'clock yet? Still sleeping?"

Shi Qing: "Why haven't you gone to work yet?"

Liang Yuheng: "I don't have anything to do this morning, I'll go after lunch."

"so."

Liang Yuheng rolled over and pinned the man beneath him, his arms bracing on either side: "I read the letter, and I felt 'you love me very much,' and I'm so glad you came into my life..."

etc!

These words don't belong in a letter!

"Don't read it!" A wave of shame washed over her, and Shi Qing raised her hand to cover her eyes.

Liang Yuheng leaned down and kissed her again.

After kissing for a while, Shi Qing realized something was wrong and quickly stopped them, saying, "I'm hungry, I need to go eat."

Knowing he had bullied the person badly the night before, Liang Yuheng didn't continue: "Dress the baby."

"I want to wear the same outfit as you."

"certainly."

Shi Qing was pulled up by him and obediently reached out her hand.

Liang Yuheng helped her put on Stella's pajamas and then went to get a pair of clean socks.

Shi Qing felt a surge of sweetness in her heart when she saw him bending down to put on her socks.

After she was dressed, Liang Yuheng carried her into the bathroom, placed her on the sink next to him, squeezed out the toothpaste, and handed it to her.

Shi Qing was about to reach for it when Liang Yuheng stopped her, saying, "Call me husband."

Shi Qing looked at him helplessly and smiled, "Husband."

Liang Yuheng then said to her, "Be more self-disciplined in the future, and don't always make me remind you."

"Okay, honey."

"That's more like it."

Upon entering the living room, Shi Qing saw that the dishes from yesterday had been cleaned up by the housekeeper, and a Chinese breakfast was laid out on the table.

After breakfast, Zhou Han came to talk to Shi Qing about the design plan.

As soon as she entered the room, she saw Liang Yuheng wearing that blue Stitch pajamas, sitting on the sofa peeling a pomelo for Shi Qing.

Is this still the same cousin she knows?

"Qingbao, how did you convince him to wear it?" Zhou Han asked softly, sitting next to Shi Qing, while stuffing a piece of pomelo into her mouth.

Shi Qing glanced at Liang Yuheng and whispered in Zhou Han's ear, "He was wearing it after I woke up."

"Men really do change! Six months ago, you two didn't seem to know each other at all, but now you're all lovey-dovey."

"I should thank you for bringing us together."

"That's right!" Zhou Han said proudly, opening her palm to Liang Yuheng. "Cousin, give me something tangible in return."

Liang Yuheng seemed to be in a good mood: "What do you want?"

Zhou Han rubbed her hands together: "I'm a little short on cash lately, could you give me some pocket money?"

Liang Yuheng: "Okay, I'll call you later."

Zhou Han patted Shi Qing solemnly: "Qingbao, I can rest assured that I've entrusted you to such a good man as my cousin!"

Shi Qing couldn't help but laugh.

-

After the Lunar New Year, Shi Qing and Zhou Han's Pilates studio officially opened for business.

Luo Luo, Xiao Ke, and Qi Li all came. In addition to Shi Qing's previous clients, they also brought quite a few others.

Zhou Han created a special account to post videos of Shi Qing's practice sessions.

Because of Shi Qing's gentle and sweet appearance and excellent figure, the video went viral, bringing a huge influx of traffic to the studio.

A few months later, the studio's operations stabilized, and Shi Qing finally had time to relax.

Around May Day, Liang Yuheng was going to Europe on a business trip for a month. He originally wanted to take Shi Qing with him to relax, but Shi Qing said she wanted to go back to her hometown to visit her grandmother for a while.

This month, every time Liang Yuheng video-chatted with Shi Qing, she made up various excuses to avoid it.

He hadn't seen anyone for more than twenty days, and he was both worried and missed them.

When Shi Qing learned that Liang Yuheng was coming back early, she was afraid that he would be disappointed when he got home, so she told him that she was currently on vacation at her villa in Haishi.

So Liang Yuheng flew over directly.

The two hadn't seen each other for many days, and upon meeting again, they inevitably spent most of the day in close physical contact.

Because Liang Yuheng needed to adjust to the time difference, Shi Qing stayed with him and helped him rest for two days.

On the third day, Shi Qing saw that Liang Yuheng had no work scheduled, so she asked him to accompany her to the aquarium.

The aquarium in Shanghai has become very popular in the past two years, but fortunately it wasn't the peak summer season yet, so there weren't many people when they came.

After arriving at the aquarium, they first saw various beautiful fish, and then watched a sea lion and killer whale show.

As you walk across the glass bridge, countless fish swim overhead, creating a breathtaking scene.

Shi Qing's eyes sparkled when she saw the manta ray; she clearly liked it very much.

She wore a white floral print mini-dress today, and Liang Yuheng took many photos of her here with his phone.

An aunt saw that Shi Qing's position was very photogenic and asked if Shi Qing could take some pictures of her as well.

Shi Qing readily agreed, took the aunt's phone, and gave her some pointers on how to pose for the photo.

The aunt was overjoyed when she saw her photos: "Thank you so much, little sister! How about I take some pictures of you and your boyfriend too?"

Shi Qing looked at Liang Yuheng: "Honey, shall we take the picture?"

"Okay." Liang Yuheng hugged her.

"So you two got married! You're a perfect match! You're both so good-looking, like celebrities."

Shi Qing handed over her phone: "Thank you, Auntie. Could you please take a picture for us?"

After taking the photos, the aunt looked at the handsome man and beautiful woman in the pictures and was very satisfied with her photography skills, praising them again.

After that, the two continued walking forward.

Shi Qing pulled Liang Yuheng to the Mermaid Performance Hall. She happily pointed and said, "I heard that the mermaid show here is very popular. There's one in half an hour. Let's go see it."

Liang Yuheng smiled and said, "Okay."

There are many people in the venue who came to see the mermaid show, and now people are gradually queuing up.

Shi Qing and Liang Yuheng stood in a spot to the left of the glass, where there was no one to block their view.

After waiting for a few minutes, Shi Qing clutched her stomach and said, "Aheng, I need to go to the restroom. If I'm not back by then, remember to record a video for me with your phone."

Liang Yuheng asked worriedly, "Do you want me to go with you? We can come back and wait for the next show."

Shi Qing shook her head: "The next show isn't until two hours later, I'll be back soon. It'll be too crowded to get to the front. Honey, don't leave."

Hearing her say that, Liang Yuheng had no choice but to agree.

More than ten minutes passed, and Shi Qing still hadn't returned.

Following her instructions, Liang Yuheng stood still and watched a performance by the prince and princess alone.

After the mermaid show began, the music became melodious and beautiful, and the lights became gorgeous and enchanting.

Liang Yuheng opened his phone and started recording.

Several mermaids swam slowly from the surface of the water, leading a group of small golden fish.

They wore brightly colored dresses, and under the lights, their skirts danced gracefully in the water, creating a dreamlike and enchanting scene.

Some people in the crowd were saying, "There are usually four, why are there five today?"

"Yes, yes!"

"Could it be a new one? The original ones were already quite beautiful, but this one is absolutely stunning!"

"I've never seen this online before!"

"I'm so lucky today! To see such a beautiful mermaid!"

Liang Yuheng wasn't particularly interested in the mermaid performance; he just watched it casually while recording the video.

Then, he saw a pink and white mermaid appear in the frame.

When Liang Yuheng saw who it was, he was stunned.

This stunningly beautiful mermaid is actually Shi Qing!

No wonder she insisted on making him stand here.

Liang Yuheng then realized why Shi Qing had been unwilling to video chat with him for the past month.

Shi Qing's long hair flowed like seaweed in the water. Her movements were elegant and graceful, and her expressions were well controlled. It was unknown how many times she had secretly practiced.

Seeing her hovering directly in front of him, Liang Yuheng slowly drew a heart shape with his hands, creating a series of bubbles.

A smile played on his lips, and his heart burned with passion.

When the performance ended, all the other mermaids swam to the surface, leaving only the pink and white one behind.

Shi Qing took out a banner from behind her and held it in front of her.

After Liang Yuheng clearly saw the words on it, his breathing became slightly labored.

Will you marry me?

When the people around saw this, they couldn't help but clap and cheer.

"Say yes!"

"Say yes!"

Liang Yuheng's Adam's apple bobbed as he mouthed, "I do," into the glass.

The next second, Shi Qing swam closer to him and pressed her face against his.

Liang Yuheng stepped forward and kissed her through the glass.
