Extra Chapter: Zhang Qin: I Swear I Will Love You Forever
As Xie Qingtang rode the elevator downstairs, she felt somewhat dazed, as if she had suddenly returned to six years ago.
Back then, Xiao Zhang seemed to have inexhaustible energy and enthusiasm. She could always find him during his free time, either by calling him first or by appearing in front of him in person.
He never contacted her proactively, nor did he have the opportunity to do so.
The only time he called her on his own initiative was on the day he finished his thesis.
No matter how many times I call, the phone is always busy.
Having always been able to handle anything with ease since childhood, this was the first time he felt lost and helpless.
He didn't realize she had changed her number until the day Lu Fengqing tricked him into calling her.
In the few dozen seconds it took to get off the elevator, Xie Qingtang thought about a lot of things.
He wondered if she was preoccupied with something and couldn't answer his call, or if she was in danger and unable to answer.
I wonder if I did something wrong again and made her angry.
He wondered where he would go to find her if she ran away again.
When Xie Qingtang reached for the car door, she realized her hands were trembling.
Suddenly, a hand reached past him and pressed heavily on the car door, closing the gap he had just opened.
"Rape...no, robbery!"
A deliberately lowered female voice came from behind. Xie Qingtang's mind went blank for a few seconds. When she looked at the hand, her tense nerves finally relaxed.
"Put your hands up!"
Xie Qingtang raised an eyebrow and raised her hands.
"Let me touch it, see what treasures it contains."
A soft, boneless hand reached into his pocket, touched his thigh a few times symbolically, and then began to move towards his groin.
Hsieh Ching-tang did not stop her.
Whoever started the fire, should put it out.
"Very well, you unfaithful husband, you've successfully caught my attention!"
The hand withdrew, pulling him around. "Give me a kiss, or I'll call your fiancée and tell her you..."
Xie Qingtang lowered his head and silenced her incessant chattering.
The two little ones hiding by the apartment door exclaimed, "Wow!"
Zhang Qin glanced over there and saw that it was Xie Qingxi. She rolled her eyes, pushed Xie Qingtang aside, and waved to Xie Qingxi.
Xie Qingxi pointed to herself: Sister-in-law, did you call me?
Zhang Qin nodded: Yes, yes.
Xie Qingxi jogged over.
Zhang Qin pulled him aside, slipped a key into his hand, and whispered a few words in his ear.
Xie Qingxi was initially full of questions, then her eyes suddenly widened, and she almost jumped up.
"Okay, okay, okay, I'll go right now." Xie Qingxi turned around and ran quickly into the apartment.
"Xie Qingxi, wait for me." Mu Xiaoyuan followed.
Xie Qingtang walked to Zhang Qin's side, "Want to go out for dinner tonight?"
Since neither of them can cook, they've been ordering takeout these past few days while staying in their apartment.
Zhang Qin was in a good mood and said, "Okay."
Then he turned around and said, "I'm going back to my car to get something. Professor Xie, please wait here for me."
Xie Qingtang agreed.
Zhang Qin walked to where she had parked her car, fumbled around inside for a while, took out two items, hid them behind her back, and slowly walked back to Xie Qingtang.
Seeing her radiant appearance, Xie Qingtang's eyes crinkled with a smile. "You've prepared a surprise for me?"
Zhang Qin didn't keep them in suspense; she took out what was behind her and handed it to Xie Qingtang.
She held a bouquet of champagne roses in her left hand.
The meaning of champagne roses is "I will only love you for the rest of my life". Eleven roses represent "forever and ever, with one heart and one mind".
Xie Qingtang gave her "a long and passionate love", and she returned the favor by saying "I will only love him for the rest of my life".
He was holding a ring in his right hand.
Xie Qingtang was stunned.
Zhang Qin asked earnestly, "Mr. Xie, will you marry me? I swear I will love you for the rest of my life. Unless we are separated by death, I will never leave you."
