Chapter 170 Proposal Requires a Ring
Fu Zheng was slightly stunned. The word "proposal" was novel. He thought about it carefully and realized that he was just asking her to marry him.
So he nodded repeatedly without hesitation: "Yes, I am begging you to marry me, please."
He deliberately dragged out the last syllable, and there was an indelible tenderness in his deep eyes.
The corny Gu Wanxing pretended to have a toothache.
"You need a ring to propose. You have nothing, what are you proposing for?" She smiled brightly and her eyes curved into crescents.
"Hmm? A ring?"
Fu Zheng murmured, and really thought about it. He really needed to buy her a ring, so he would go buy it tomorrow.
Gu Wanxing raised his eyebrows slightly: "Yeah."
"How about going shopping tomorrow? There's a jewelry store here. I heard the things there are really beautiful, and they're all from Hong Kong.
He heard it from Commander Zou's wife. That sister-in-law was particularly good at spending money. She was said to be from Jiangnan and loved dressing up.
"You know the jewelry in the jewelry store is beautiful, have you ever bought any?"
Upon hearing this, Fu Zheng immediately explained, "It's our Commander Zou's wife. She buys it often. I've seen her several times when I went to her house."
He looked at Gu Wanxing seriously, fearing that she would continue to misunderstand.
Seeing his slightly funny expression, Gu Wanxing chuckled, "I'm just kidding. Why are you taking it so seriously? Forget it. Didn't you buy me a ring? I'll wear that when the time comes."
I don’t want to make him spend money anymore. The last time I bought gold jewelry, there was a ring.
Besides, Fu Zheng has no money now. He paid the deposit for her and bought jewelry, and he used the 30,000 yuan I gave him to give to Lin Shan.
It was originally a normal thing.
But Lin Shan later lent her another 30,000 yuan, but wrote an IOU for 60,000 yuan, and gave her both IOUs for 30,000 yuan.
Upon hearing this, Fu Zheng immediately guessed that she thought she had no money, so that was why she didn't want to go.
He certainly didn't have any at home, but he still had a bonus that he hadn't collected.
He wanted to use the money to get married, but now he thinks it is more important to buy the ring first.
"Let's go buy it tomorrow."
Fu Zheng said in a firm tone. Before Gu Wanxing could continue to refute, he changed the subject directly: "Are you hungry? I'll take you to dinner. And then we can find a hotel to stay in. How about that?"
Gu Wanxing looked at the man who had his hand on the car keys, ready to start the engine. Is this the end? He didn't even get consent for his proposal.
Thinking of it, she asked out loud: "No, you are only proposing half of it?"
Gu Wanxing teased with a half-smile.
"No, didn't you say you wanted a ring? I'll take you to buy it tomorrow. I'll ask you for it after I buy it."
Fu Zheng started the engine and the car slowly moved forward.
"Then I don't want gold. Have you seen Western movies? People always propose with diamond rings."
Gu Wanxing probably joked.
"Okay, I'll buy it for you."
There was a hint of coaxing in Fu Zheng's tone at this moment.
As the two talked, the car disappeared into the rainy night.
…
At the same time, in a large mansion in Kyoto.
It rained in Kyoto today, and it was a thunderstorm.
Gong Jizhi was supported by Xiao Liu and hurriedly entered the main gate of the compound.
Because the old man lived in the second courtyard, and the whole house had five courtyards in total, so after he entered the main gate, he had to enter the second gate, and after entering the second gate was the front yard. To get to the second courtyard, he had to cross the front yard, and this distance would take at least five minutes to walk.
"Commander, please slow down."
Xiao Liu couldn't help but remind him that although the old man was sick, he should also take care of his health. What if he fell?
I've been doing well these days and haven't had to take much medicine.
Gong Jizhi pursed his lips and said nothing. Only the sound of faster and faster footsteps mixed with the rumbling thunder echoed in his ears.
He had been cursing in his heart for a long time, and had told the old man that he should either move to the small villa or live in the back houses in front, but the old man refused to listen.
If something happens and the car can't get in, he can just take a few steps, but if it's a matter of life and death, even the hospital's ambulance can't get in.
Xiao Liu, the security guard, had the same thoughts in his mind. He didn't understand why these old houses had to be so big, with so many courtyards. Not only was it difficult to clean, but if the family wanted to get together, they had to work and walk for a long time.
When the two rushed into the second courtyard where the old man lived, they were almost shocked by the scene in front of them.
"Young Master~Commander, you are here, please come in." The old butler noticed that his young master had arrived and hurried to greet him.
Gong Jizhi looked at the large awning at the door, pursed his lips even tighter, and at the same time, he couldn't help feeling scared. Could it be that the old man was dying?
No matter how you look at it, this looks like a tent used for funerals.
"Uncle Zhang, my dad..."
Gong Jizhi looked at the old housekeeper Zhang Fuman with a worried look. This old man had been following his father for more than fifty years without any children. It was rare for him to be so strong now that he was over seventy years old. But his father was not even seventy years old and looked very strong on weekdays. But for some reason, he was always sick recently.
Are you free?
"It's okay, don't worry. The old man is fine, it's just that his old illness has come back." After saying this, Butler Zhang lowered his head, and his facial muscles trembled uncontrollably.
He didn't know what would happen if the eldest young master knew that the old man was lying. He didn't even dare to think about the consequences.
As soon as Butler Zhang finished speaking, three figures hurriedly ran out of the room.
"Ji Zhi—you're here?" Xu Xueling stared at the tall figure in front of her with tenderness in her eyes, and loved him more and more no matter how she looked at him.
"Dad——" Gong Qianqian also stepped forward and called out in a voice as soft as a mosquito.
"dad--"
The last one is Gong Jizhi's nine-year-old son.
Gong Jizhi looked at the figure coming out and his face immediately turned cold.
But before she could open her mouth to scold him, her thighs were hugged tightly:
"Dad, I haven't seen you for a long time. School has started now, and I haven't seen you during the summer vacation." Nine-year-old Gong Ruiyang hugged his father's long legs tightly, craning his neck to look at him.
Gong Jizhi rubbed the child's head and said in a deep voice, "I'm very busy. Go home with your mother. It's almost midnight. Why aren't you asleep yet?"
Gong Jizhi had extremely complicated feelings towards this child. He used to think that there might be a possibility that this child was his biological child.
But ever since he met Wanxing, he no longer believed it. There was not even that one percent possibility.
Wanxing looks so much like him, but this one doesn't look like him at all, so his feeling is accurate. Maybe he never touched Xu Xueling back then.
The woman was wearing a velvet long-sleeved cheongsam, which made her look noble and tall. Her hair was combed meticulously, and not a single hair fell out.
She walked forward, gently placed her hand on Gong Jizhi's arm, and said softly, "Jizhi, Doctor Zhao just left. Do you want to go in and see Dad?"
This person was none other than Gong Jizhi’s current wife, Xu Xueling.
Gong Jizhi calmly pulled his arm away and scolded in a low voice, "It's already 11:40. Why don't you take the child back to bed? What are you doing here?"
"No, Uncle Zhang called and said Dad was sick, so I brought Qianqian and Yangyang here." Xu Xueling had a charming look to her, and even when she was trying to argue, she was still charming and endearing.
