Chapter 51 Chapter 51
The two hugged each other quietly for a while, and Su Wanqing turned over and faced away from her.
Chu Mucheng put his hands on her waist and hugged her in his arms, so that the two of them were almost touching each other.
"Why did it turn around?" Chu Mucheng asked.
"I'm used to sleeping like this." Su Wanqing replied in a low voice, "Is it okay?"
Chu Muqing held her hand and said, "Go to sleep."
Su Wanqing was in good spirits and not at all sleepy. She was planning to chat with Chu Mucheng. She felt warm all over, like a large hot pack.
It was warm but not hot. Before Su Wanqing could think of a topic to start, she fell into a drowsy sleep.
The next day, after the alarm clock vibrated for a few seconds, soothing music came on. Su Wanqing reached out from under the quilt to touch her cell phone, but she didn't find the cell phone, but felt something warm.
Chu Mucheng woke up when her cell phone vibrated. He wanted to reach out and help her turn off the alarm so that she could sleep a little longer, but he failed.
The two people touched around randomly, Chu Mucheng touched the phone, and Su Wanqing touched Chu Mucheng's hand.
After turning off the alarm, Chu Muqing grabbed her hand and placed it on his chest, "Sleep a little longer?"
"No need to sleep, I have to work today."
"Um."
Chu Mucheng also had some things to take care of today, so the two of them got up and washed up one after another.
While brushing their teeth in front of the mirror together, Su Wanqing stole a glance at Chu Mucheng in the mirror. Her hair was harder, the kind that you could just grab a handful and go out with, while her hair was fine and soft, making her look like a lion king.
Chu Muqing rinsed his mouth, ignored her little movements, and went out after brushing his teeth.
Su Wanqing applied the lotion slowly. She had rested for too long these past few days and was not in the mood to go to work at all, so she was dawdling.
After she had tidied herself, Chu Mucheng had changed into her going-out clothes and was standing at the door waiting for her.
"You're here so early today?"
"Um."
Su Wanqing glanced at the time and said, "Then you go first. I'll take a taxi later."
After she finished speaking, Chu Muqing stood there without moving. Su Wanqing simply tidied up the sink, raised her eyes and asked, "You... aren't you leaving?"
Chu Mucheng looked at her silly look and thought that if she didn't remind her, she might not know what she was waiting for. She raised her hand and poked her cheek.
Su Wanqing smiled, walked straight towards her, stood on tiptoes, and kissed her on the cheek.
The warm lips touched and then left, Chu Mucheng was not satisfied. She just took a step back, Chu Mucheng pulled her into his arms and kissed her.
There was a fresh mint taste in her mouth. After the lingering kiss, Chu Muqing pinched her cheek and said, "Let's go."
Su Wanqing felt dizzy after being kissed. She nodded, watched her leave, and quickly changed her clothes and set off for the company.
He didn't know whether his efforts were effective or Chu Mucheng had hidden something from him, but Lan Qing's performance was improving step by step and he wouldn't starve to death in the short term.
She had just finished reading the document when Ji Yu came in and threw the project plan at her. "How about this?"
The two had discussed the fall plan several times, and this time the plan was the final version. Su Wanqing took a look and said, "It doesn't look like what you wrote."
"Is it so obvious?"
"Really?"
"It's my friend."
Su Wanqing narrowed her eyes: "Is it that Alpha?"
Ji Yu blushed, which was rare, and bit her lower lip as she said, "It's her."
Normally, the company's documents cannot be shown to outsiders, but this project plan did not involve any company secrets, so after weighing the pros and cons, Ji Yu showed it to her.
"She can actually do this." Su Wanqing was quite satisfied, "Then let's do this."
Su Wanqing convened a meeting to discuss the autumn projects and to schedule a business trip.
At two o'clock in the afternoon, Su Wanqing received a WeChat message from Chu Muqing.
Are you free tonight? 】
【have. 】
[I'll pick you up at six o'clock.] 】
Su Wanqing looked at the dialog box, not knowing what Chu Mucheng was going to do. She sorted her afternoon work and completed it in order of importance.
At 5:30, someone on the basement floor contacted her and said that the maternity clothes were finished and asked if she had time to see the finished products.
Su Wanqing thought that it would be a good time to get off work after the show, so she carried her bag to the basement floor where the staff were waiting.
"Boss, if there's no problem with these three items, we'll pack them up and send them to you."
The three pieces of clothing were on special hangers and could be rotated to reveal the overall details, which were not much different from what she had expected.
"Just pack it up and send it to this address." Su Wanqing took out the address she had written in advance.
After coming out from the basement floor, Su Wanqing touched her cell phone and sent a message to Chu Mucheng.
[It’s time to get off work!] My sister came to pick me up. 】
Chu Mucheng had just turned off the engine when he received her message. He touched the box in his pocket and replied.
[It’s downstairs of your company, on the right.] 】
Su Wanqing went out and looked around. Chu Mucheng's car was easy to recognize. She ran over, opened the passenger door and got in.
"How was your work today?" Chu Muqing asked, "Are you tired?"
“Not tired.”
Chu Mucheng spoke very little. Su Wanqing didn't ask her what she was going to do. She looked at the scenery outside the window, feeling a little unfamiliar.
Half an hour later, the car stopped in front of a hotel. Su Wanqing glanced at the name and said, "Isn't this the newly opened one?"
"It's opened by the Cheng family." Chu Muqing said.
"Is Sister Lu here?"
“No.”
After getting out of the car, Chu Mucheng walked around to open the door for Su Wanqing, took her hand and went straight upstairs.
At this moment, Su Wanqing roughly realized what Chu Mucheng was going to do.
Chu Mucheng entered the presidential suite on the top floor by swiping his card.
They had only done it once at home; they hadn’t tried it in a hotel outside...Su Wanqing’s mind began to flood with all sorts of messy thoughts.
When she walked into the suite, she realized that she had overthought. Chu Mucheng had set up the candlelight dinner herself. She must have informed him in advance and the dishes were already prepared.
Chu Muqing walked over and pulled out a chair, "Sit down."
The roses in the middle of the table are bright and juicy, two plates of steaks are cut into neat small cubes, and there are two rows of candle holders inside, creating a strong atmosphere.
Chu Mucheng went to operate the record player next to him and played a song in English.
After she sat down, Su Wanqing asked her with a smile: "Why are you so formal all of a sudden?"
She's still a little uncomfortable with it.
"It just suddenly occurred to me that I've never had dinner with you like this before."
Su Wanqing took a fork and pierced a small piece of steak. The meat was tender and tasted good with the soup. Her eyes curved into crescents.
Chu Mucheng was not in a hurry to eat. He took the decanted red wine next to him and poured two glasses, and pushed one glass in front of Su Wanqing.
Su Wanqing swallowed the beef, looked at the wine glass and said hesitantly: "I can't drink much."
"This wine doesn't have much alcohol."
As far as Su Wanqing could remember, she had never drunk alcohol before. Since she really couldn't get away with it, she just took a sip from the wine glass as a token of appreciation. In this atmosphere, Su Wanqing was eager to try.
"Okay, let me try it."
The two of them clinked their glasses lightly.
Su Wanqing took a sip of red wine. It tasted bitter at first, followed by a faint rose flavor and an indescribable sweetness.
“It’s delicious.”
"It tastes good. I'll take two bottles back later."
“…”
That’s not the case.
"This hotel belongs to the Cheng family, not Cheng Zhuo."
"Not much."
Because of Lu Qinghe's pregnancy, Cheng Zhuo went back home twice. Now that they have relented, it is only a matter of time before he returns home.
They ate, talked, and drank at the same time. Before they knew it, Su Wanqing had drunk two or three cups. Her cheeks felt hot. Su Wanqing waved her hand and said, "I'm done."
"Um."
Chu Mucheng raised his hand and pressed a bell on the side, and two waiters came in and cleaned the room quickly.
Su Wanqing went inside to pour a glass of water, and when she came out, the table had been cleaned.
Chu Mucheng was bending over and poking the rose on the table with her fingertips. Water droplets from the petals fell on her fingertips. She withdrew her hand and just looked at her.
The record player switched to the next song, and she understood it; it was a song on her playlist, 34+35.
The rhythm of English songs is always good, but the lyrics are not good at all.
At first Chu Mucheng didn't pay much attention, until she heard a few words of the lyrics, her eyes narrowed slightly, and she looked at her across the table.
"Baby, come here."
Su Wanqing walked over, Chu Mucheng reached out and took her hand, and walked to the other side, next to the bedroom, there was a small room similar to a living room.
There was only a large sofa across the left side. Chu Mucheng took her to the balcony, opened the door, and there was a small terrace outside.
Above is the starry sky that is rarely seen in North City, and below is the night view of North City. The dotted lights look like a hole in the Milky Way with falling star fragments.
I have never taken a serious look at the night view of the North City. It turns out this is the visual effect when standing at a high place.
“Does it look good?”
"Um!"
There was wind blowing past her ears. Chu Mucheng hugged her from behind and rubbed his chin against the top of her head. Su Wanqing's attention was attracted by the night view and she didn't pay attention to Chu Mucheng's little movements.
She touched her waist and then her hands.
Chu Mucheng held her hand and held it in front of her eyes, and Su Wanqing discovered that there was a ring on her hand.
A silvery white circle with a diamond hanging on it sparkled. She stretched her hand forward and merged with the other stars in the darkness.
"Is this a proposal?"
"Okay, baby, will you marry me?"
Su Wanqing withdrew her hand, placed it on the glass railing and said nothing.
There was no grand ceremony, no friends to witness it, and no flowers, but Su Wanqing's heart never stopped beating.
Chu Muqing moved the hand around her waist, as if urging her to answer, "Baby, will you marry me?"
Chu Muqing couldn't see her expression. She couldn't hold back her smile. She stroked the ring and said, "Sister, is there one more sentence missing to propose to me?"
Chu Muqing turned her around and hooked her chin, "Are you pushing your luck?"
"I'm spoiled and arrogant."
Chu Muqing chuckled and looked down at her, "Su Wanqing, I love you."
Su Wanqing said that she wanted to hear it, but she didn't think Chu Mucheng would really say it, nor did she think that it would be so shocking to her if she said it.
Her ears were quiet, she couldn't hear any sound, only these few words echoed.
"I said, I love you."
Chu Muqing repeated it.
