Chapter 179 Proposal
This was the only time in four years that Feng Jinzhou had held the girl in his arms very tightly, but it was only for a fleeting moment.
Looking back over these four years, they haven't hugged many times; it was either during reunions or farewells.
Feng Jinzhou patted the girl's thin back. "If he bullies you, tell me and I'll teach him a lesson when I get back."
Lu Zhenyu smiled faintly, "With his current physique, I could beat him down with one hand."
Looking back at the person sitting in the wheelchair, staring intently at them, the master and apprentice exchanged a smile.
Feng Jinzhou casually flicked his hand, "I'm leaving, Brother Shen. Take good care of my daughter."
Shen Jingsi rolled his eyes at him. "That's my daughter."
The way the black off-road vehicle left was just like Feng Jinzhou himself; it didn't even make a final farewell, and sped away with a throttle.
Carefree and unrestrained.
After driving for about ten meters, a hand reached out from the car window, not to wave, but to give a thumbs up.
Feng Manman, wiping away tears, sniffled, "What does he mean? Am I the best?"
Shen Jinchuan laughed, "Then I guess only my brother and sister know."
“I don’t know, and this isn’t for me to compare.” Lu Zhenyu turned around to push the wheelchair.
Shen Jingsi rubbed his chin with a smug smile, "Who needs his praise?"
"He doesn't need to praise her; he even helps his daughter make pineapple buns for others."
Shen Jingsi turned to look at Lu Zhenyu, who was speaking, and touched her small hand, "Husband is doing this for your sake."
…
A kilometer away, the off-road vehicle was parked by the roadside. Feng Jinzhou, who had already changed into his official robes, stood in front of the helicopter, his long, distinct fingers pinching open the jewelry box.
Two small, fingernail-sized lucky bags were exposed to the sunlight, their gold threads reflecting a golden sheen.
A note was attached.
May you have a safe and smooth journey, see you in four years.
—Lu Zhenyu
Don't be too touched yet. The gift was from her husband. I don't like owing favors, hmph.
—Lu Zhenyu's husband, Shen Jingsi]
Under the blue sky and white clouds, Feng Jinzhou, dressed in a crisp and neat green military uniform, smiled.
The note was folded back into the box.
As for lucky bags...
It's around my neck.
…
The rooftop of the villa.
Lu Zhenyu stood still in the wind.
As the off-road vehicle disappeared completely, she lowered her head and opened the box in her hand.
The camellia diamond ring shimmered in the light, making her squint slightly.
There was also a note.
[Thankful. Happy and joyful.]
Shen Jingsi wrapped his arms around the person from behind, his disdainful eyes lowering slightly. "Thankful? What do you mean?"
Lu Zhenyu smiled and put the note back, then took out the diamond ring.
She knew what Feng Jinzhou was celebrating.
Fortunately, after all the twists and turns, everything has returned to where it started.
Fortunately, she found happiness again.
Fortunately, the child he held in his mother's womb is still alive today.
Before this, there was one thing that Lu Zhenyu was unclear about.
Why is Feng Jinzhou so good to her?
Were they once very, very good friends?
And now, she knows.
It's guilt.
I feel guilty that I personally watched her enter that building back then.
He felt even more guilty because he had almost grabbed her hand at the moment of the explosion.
So after she lost her memory, he became her best friend and teacher, personally teaching her skills before sending her on her journey.
Lu Zhenyu's early life seemed to be both unfortunate and fortunate.
Because she only met very, very good people.
He protected Shen Jingsi, loved Feng Manman, helped Feng Jinzhou, and was devoted to Xiaomeng, among other things.
While the girl was lost in thought, Shen Jingsi's eyes lit up when he saw the diamond ring, and he reached out and took it.
After seeing it clearly, he curled the corners of his lips into a smile.
It was the wedding ring he personally put on his wife's finger.
"I thought it was lost a long time ago, but it turns out this kid pocketed it."
Her gaze fell on the flawless camellia, and a hint of sadness flickered in Lu Zhenyu's smiling eyes. "I thought he would never give it to me."
Shen Jingsi asked why.
Lu Zhenyu did not answer.
After waiting for a long time, he didn't pry into the matter. He rubbed the ring between his fingers several times, and when the girl was distracted, he took a step back without warning and knelt on one knee.
"Zhenzhen, will you marry me and be my wife?"
Lu Zhenyu looked over and exclaimed, "Is this... a marriage proposal?"
Shen Jingsi nodded.
She pursed her lips, pondered for a moment, then pouted, "That's a bit perfunctory, even the flowers..."
"Here are the flowers!" Shen Xinxin, who had been hiding under the escalator, came running over with a handful of flowers in her hands. "Here, Daddy!"
Shen Jingsi handed over the flowers, saying, "This time I have them."
Lu Zhenyu smiled and said, "We haven't even set up the venue yet, it's not a waste..."
"Yes, yes!" Several more little ones ran out, some carrying balloons, some with veils, and some with rose wreaths.
Shinichi walked solemnly behind Lu Zhenyu and tiptoed to put the veil on his mother.
Shen Jingsi asked, "Is there still something missing?"
Lu Zhenyu guessed that he had planned this all along, and pondered for a while while rubbing her chin.
There were no fireworks, not even any.
Before he could finish speaking, a string of colorful fireworks, hundreds of meters long, burst forth from one side of the villa, forming a rainbow waterfall in the air.
Feng Manman and Shen Jinchuan led Lu Xinsen up from downstairs, and everyone upstairs and downstairs clapped and cheered.
"Marry him, marry him, marry him!"
Shen Jingsi looked at him with a hint of pride, "So, what's still not satisfactory this time?"
Lu Zhenyu finally chuckled, raising an eyebrow slightly, "If my husband could stand up and kiss me right now, I'd be perfectly happy..."
Her pink lips were kissed the next second.
Under the dazzling fireworks, witnessed by their children and relatives, and cheered by all the domestic helpers and medical team downstairs.
They shared a passionate kiss.
Then the girl said, "I do wish to become Mr. Shen Jingsi's wife."
"Life after life."
-
The wedding is set for six months from now.
The manor, riddled with holes from the bombing, was completely demolished and rebuilt, which suited Shen Jingsi's wishes perfectly.
Because Duan Xi'er and Zheng Yaozong died there before, he felt it was okay to live there, but if his family were to live there for the rest of their lives, he would find it unclean.
Let's just tear down the entire manor and rebuild it.
Lu Zhenyu and Shen Jingsi were the first to return to China, firstly to take care of Feng Manman, who had just given birth to twins, and secondly to supervise the work.
The interior renovation of the entire manor was designed by Lu Zhenyu and her six children.
The precocious little Pearl was worried that the house builders wouldn't be professional, so she insisted on having her trusted mother come back to supervise the construction.
She was so looking forward to returning to Beijing.
Because during the time Feng Manman was in New Zealand, she always talked to her about things like Zha Jiang Mian (noodles with soybean paste), hot pot lamb, hot pot tripe, candied hawthorn, and the stinky yet fragrant fermented mung bean juice.
The couple then divided the work: one was responsible for arranging the upcoming wedding, and the other oversaw the reconstruction of the manor.
In addition to the main house, two villas were built next to it. After all, there are many children in the family, and they are left for them to live in when they grow up and bring their wives and children back for holidays.
The camellia grove that Shen Jingsi promised to the girl when he was a child was finally fulfilled this year.
They invested in transporting mature camellia trees from the south to ensure the forest was full of blossoms by the time of the wedding.
The wedding took place two months after the manor was completed.
There was no extravagant celebration; the wedding was held at the manor.
All the guests were close friends; there were no business associates or officials present, including elders.
The former was Lu Zhenyu's idea, and the latter was Shen Jingsi's.
Now that he's in this position, what he wants isn't fame or prestige, but genuine happiness.
Moreover, marriage is a matter between two people, and they will be the two of them living together from now on.
Shen Jingsi didn't want his wife to force a smile when dealing with his family, and he didn't want her to see people she didn't want to see.
So he didn't even discuss this with Lu Zhenyu and made the decision on his own.
On the wedding day, everyone was present except for Feng Jinzhou, who was stationed on the island with troops and couldn't make it back.
But his gift arrived early.
A bouquet of camellias, crafted using traditional pure gold techniques.
Feng Manman weighed it on a scale; it was 13.14 jin.
The man immediately became agitated, exclaiming, "Damn it! He only gave my sister a hundred yuan as a gift, so why is Zhenzhen getting thirteen jin of gold?!"
No amount of comforting could work; she was absolutely furious with her own brother. Turning her head, she exclaimed, "I'm going to tell my grandpa!"
Feng Jinheng: "Your grandfather has been gone for six years."
"I'm going to his grave to complain!"
"Sue what?"
"He's so old he's practically toothless, and he still doesn't have a wife!"
Of course, Feng Manman wasn't the only one who was unhappy; Shen Jingsi was too.
“When I get married, he jumps and dances around like crazy. Honey, listen to your husband, we don’t want these flowers. If you like them, I’ll have someone make 300 jin of them for you and put them at our front door. Let these go back to where they came from.”
Lu Zhenyu had to hold the golden bouquet in both hands, like she was lifting a barbell.
It's equivalent to nearly three million RMB. Of course, she didn't want Feng Jinzhou to spend so much, but she also knew that if she really returned it, it would be trampling on his feelings.
Despite Guan Chenjing's antics, she took it upon herself to stay.
After getting married, they even had a glass vessel specially made and placed it in the most conspicuous position in their living room.
As for the best men, Lu Zhenyu and Shen Jingsi discussed it and found Si Wei and Shi Yiqiao.
I heard that Feng Manman's wedding was incredibly lively last time, and Shi Yiqiao, who missed it, is really determined to give the groom's party a good hard time this time.
A month ago, we started collecting information online about customs related to blocking brides from all over the country.
The officer overheard him and immediately sent a message to the brothers' group chat.
"Attention all troops! These women have gone mad! They've come up with a 108-level wedding game!"
"@Lu Zhenyu's husband, you only have two options now: either call off the wedding, or sneak home tonight and take her away."
Then Shen Jingsi settled things with just one sentence.
"@Si Wuwei, I don't believe there's anything my second brother can't handle in this world."
The message was sent out and received a reply almost instantly.
Si Wuwei: "Damn it!"
"For my third brother's happiness in the future, I'll risk my life to snatch your wife back."
Although his child is already four years old, Shen Jingsi is still a little excited and nervous at the thought of bringing his wife home in style tomorrow.
Qingfeng Manor is located behind Qingshan Manor. It was the new house that Shen Jingsi generously gave to his younger brother and sister-in-law when they got married.
Standing on the balcony, one can gaze at the brightly lit villa hundreds of meters away, where a few graceful figures occasionally flash by in front of the window.
The girls are currently upstairs having a drink and chatting.
Amidst the laughter and chatter, Lu Zhenyu's phone, which she had placed aside, rang.
Shen Jingsi: "Wife, what are you doing?"
Lu Zhenyu took a picture and sent it over, asking, "Didn't you say you were going to sleep two hours ago? Why aren't you asleep yet?"
Shen Jingsi said, "I can't sleep if I can't hold my wife."
He followed up with another message: "Honey, do you miss me?"
Lu Zhenyu chuckled, "Brother, if I remember correctly, we just met at dinner, right?"
Shen Jingsi said, "A second apart feels like an eternity."
Lu Zhenyu sent an eye-rolling emoji.
The phone call came right away, and she got up and went to the balcony.
A voice came from the other end of the line, "You're getting married tomorrow, are you nervous?"
Lu Zhenyu wanted to laugh but couldn't help it. "Does being nervous mean I won't marry you?"
“That won’t do.” Shen Jingsi’s mood changed faster than turning the pages of a book. “But if you’re really too nervous, I can consider sneaking back tonight and holding you while we sleep.”
As soon as he finished speaking, a voice suddenly came from the other end: "Excuse me, groom-to-be, the bride and groom are not allowed to meet on the eve of their wedding. If you dare to come, we'll unleash our dogs on you!"
As soon as the drunk Shi Yiqiao finished speaking, the girls burst into laughter.
Shen Jingsi hated these girls who wouldn't let him see his wife, but he could only treat them like royalty. "Not even a big red envelope?"
Feng Manman quickly shushed her, "How much is that red envelope?"
Without even thinking, Shen Jingsi replied, "Hermes, LV, pick whichever you like."
Shi Yiqiao and Xia Feifei's eyes lit up!
Then Feng Manman slapped the switch on her forehead and turned it off.
"Don't even think about bribing us, no way!"
Then he hung up the phone incredibly fast.
Lu Zhenyu felt that the girls weren't afraid of being bribed, but rather afraid of being genuinely swayed by their words.
