Chapter 554 Because I Love You
The meaning of the jade bracelet and the birthday gift were interrupted by Liu Wangxue's words "mandarin duck bath". The bathtub cannot be used for the time being, but you can take a "mandarin duck bath" first.
Afterwards, Liu Wangxue curled up in the quilt, leaned against the head of the bed, and instructed Xu Qingsong to find his birthday present by himself: "It's in my suitcase. I didn't take it out."
Xu Qingsong went to the closet and pulled out the suitcase. As soon as he opened it, he saw a small box inside - a ring box.
His heart was pounding as he closed the suitcase and put it back into the closet to hide his nervousness. Then he clutched the ring box in his hand, walked back to the bed and sat cross-legged on it.
"Is this it?" Xu Qingsong stretched out his hand, held the ring box in his palm, and handed it to Liu Wangxue.
"You ask even though you already know the answer." Liu Wangxue took the ring box with a smile. When she opened it, she saw a pair of rings inside, one large and one small. They were plain golden rings without any decorative patterns.
Xu Qingsong felt as if his eyes were flashing, and the corners of his mouth couldn't be suppressed, so he simply let it go, almost grinning to his ears: "What does this mean?"
Liu Wangxue bought this pair of rings when she was in Nanshi. She had nothing to do that morning, so she went out to eat with Ni Jia and a few others, and strolled along the old street. After buying the couple's phone cases that they were using now, they passed by a gold shop. Liu Wangxue took a quick look and saw this pair of very simple gold rings on the counter.
She didn't think much when she bought it, and didn't even remember that Xu Qingsong's birthday was this month. She just thought that Xu Qingsong's hand would look good with this kind of gold ring. And she said that she wanted to celebrate "our own Valentine's Day" with Xu Qingsong, so the couple's rings would be a good Valentine's Day gift.
But after returning to Taojia Village from Nanshi, she only gave the phone case to Xu Qingsong, because she had a vague feeling that she should choose another more memorable day to give the couple rings.
However, she had not yet figured out which day was the "more memorable day", and of course, she did not remember Xu Qingsong's birthday. It was not until she received Anding's call asking her to come to Beijing to record an interview that she woke up from her dream.
In the past two days, Liu Wangxue had imagined how Xu Qingsong would react when he received this birthday gift. She thought he would definitely be happy, but she didn't expect him to be so happy.
Seeing his look, Liu Wangxue decided to make him even happier.
She took off the larger ring, looked at Xu Qingsong with a smile and said, "This is my affirmation of you after inspecting the goods."
Xu Qingsong naturally understood what she meant, and the smile on his face became even more uncontrollable: "Are you willing?"
Liu Wangxue reminded him: "You better hold back a little, your face is about to break from laughing."
Xu Qingsong raised his hand and rubbed himself, but it didn't work. He couldn't restrain himself at all and couldn't control himself at all. He asked again: "Did you agree?"
Liu Wangxue snorted proudly and looked at the ring on her finger in the light: "Why are you pretending? Someone is so scheming that he made the birthday cake look like an engagement cake and even pretended to be a child and wanted to drink wedding wine and eat wedding candy. Now that his wish has come true, he is still acting here with me."
Xu Qingsong immediately hugged her and kissed her on the corner of her lips loudly: "Really not! Beibei and Kangkang took the initiative to buy that cake. I really didn't mean that."
Liu Wangxue felt that he was taking advantage of her, so she raised her eyebrows and pretended to put the ring back into the box: "Oh, you don't mean that. I am just being sentimental now. Don't take this ring."
"Hey——" Xu Qingsong quickly held her hand and kissed her again, "No, I mean, if I am the mastermind, then there must be more than just the cake, all the necessary procedures must be followed. However, the most important thing is to get your consent first~"
"Come on, put on the ring first." Liu Wangxue was satisfied and continued proudly, "But let me make it clear first, this is just my initial recognition of you, and I reserve the right to take the ring back at any time."
Xu Qingsong readily agreed and stretched out his left hand towards the ring - the other four fingers were curled up, leaving only the middle finger straight and pointing at the ring.
Seeing this posture, Liu Wangxue laughed in her heart, and said angrily: "Well, you actually gave me the middle finger!"
Xu Qingsong lost his composure in a second, and hugged her from behind, resting his chin on her shoulder, smiling happily: "No! No! I just want to remind you that this ring should be worn in the correct position."
Liu Wangxue leaned in Xu Qingsong's arms and smiled, and the ring box in her hand fell on the quilt. Then she took Xu Qingsong's left hand, put the ring on the middle finger, and kissed him again: "Okay! I declare that from now on, you are completely mine!"
Xu Qingsong picked up the ring box, put the other one on Liu Wangxue in the same position, then put the box on the bedside table, held her down and kissed her.
In love affairs, Xu Qingsong wrapped his dominance in tenderness, which Liu Wangxue deeply felt the night she confirmed her relationship with him. She also particularly liked this energy and was deeply fascinated by it.
Just when she was dizzy from the kisses and caresses and thought Xu Qingsong was going to do it again, Liu Wangxue heard him say in her ear: "That bracelet doesn't have any special meaning. It was given to my grandson's wife by my grandmother."
"What, what?" Liu Wangxue felt that he didn't hear it clearly.
Xu Qingsong chuckled, hugged her tightly, and repeated it in her ear.
Liu Wangxue heard it clearly this time, and all her romantic thoughts disappeared: "No, I haven't married you yet--" Thinking that this was not right, she changed her words: "I mean, we haven't reached the stage of talking about marriage yet!"
Xu Qingsong waved his hand in front of her eyes, letting her see the ring, and said, "But you have already put the ring on me."
"Don't play tricks on me," Liu Wangxue waved his hand away, turned over and lay on his chest, poking his heart with her fingers, "Do you think I have lost my memory? Ha, I finally understand why my cousin's wife said that she felt she was held back by the bracelet. You still say you are not scheming? If you were not scheming, would your grandma have put such a valuable bracelet on my hand? Okay, give me back the ring——"
As Liu Wangxue said this, she took Xu Qingsong's hand to take off the ring. Xu Qingsong immediately clenched his hand into a fist to avoid it, hugged her and turned over, then pressed her down: "You are wronging me, I really didn't play tricks, grandma wanted to give it to you because of her own will, and I can't change it."
Liu Wangxue had just teased him on purpose: "Then isn't your grandma afraid that she'll give you the bracelet too early?"
"No," the ring tonight gave Xu Qingsong more confidence, he said seriously, "I will give it to you sooner or later. And my grandma is very good at judging people. The bracelets on my aunt, cousin's wife, and four aunts and sisters-in-law were all given by my grandma, and they were all worn before marriage."
Liu Wangxue looked distressed: "Look, this is what was detained!"
Xu Qingsong carefully observed her expression and felt that the confidence he had just built up became a little shaky: "Are you really unwilling? Or haven't you thought it through?"
Liu Wangxue felt that he was a fool at this moment, and couldn't bear to tease him any more. She hugged his neck and kissed him, then smiled again: "If I hadn't thought it through, why would I put a ring on you?"
Xu Qingsong's mood was in a state of ups and downs. He began to tickle her as if to punish her, and did not stop until she burst into tears of laughter and begged for mercy: "Don't tease me like this in the future."
Liu Wangxue nodded while panting, unable to speak at all.
Xu Qingsong kissed the corners of her eyes, kissed away her tears, hugged her and sighed contentedly. After a moment, he pulled the quilt over her and asked her, "Sleep?"
Liu Wangxue turned over and found a comfortable position to rest her head in his arms: "But there are a few things I need to make clear to you first."
"You speak." Xu Qingsong was ready to listen.
Liu Wangxue slowly said, "You know my job well. The script I have is almost finished. I estimate that we can start casting next month, but I'm not sure how long it will take to shoot."
Meng Luoqiu is a very meticulous person, whether she is shooting a movie or a TV series. She has a lot of ideas about the script of "The Halo Effect" and plans to shoot it slowly to produce a masterpiece. Du Yunxiang is a boss with plenty of money and has full trust in Meng Luoqiu. He will definitely not rush her to finish the work as soon as possible for the sake of budget, but will let her shoot slowly and polish it carefully.
Liu Wangxue said: "So, maybe I will have to be on the set for more than half of this year. Then next year, I will shoot "The Twenty-one Cases of Dazhao"."
It was during these two days that Liu Wangxue heard from Du Yunxiang that the project to build a large amusement park with the theme of "The Twenty-one Cases of Dazhao" had completed negotiations with the Huai City Government and reached a cooperation agreement. The project had been officially approved and all procedures had been basically completed. It was estimated that construction would start next month.
The show cannot be finished in one go, so Du Yunxiang plans to shoot it in several seasons, one episode per year. The first phase of the amusement park corresponds to the indoor scenes required in the first season. Du Yunxiang's father Du Shaohua and several of his old friends invested together. With all the human, material and financial resources guaranteed, the first phase of the project will definitely be successfully accepted by the middle of next year.
Liu Wangxue went on to say, "Sister Yunxiang plans to start filming at the beginning of next year, but the first phase of the project is not completed at the beginning of the year, so the crew has to go to shoot on location first. Sister Yunxiang also hopes that all shots can be shot on location as much as possible, so I should be able to travel around with the crew."
All of this was within Xu Qingsong's expectations. He would not persuade Liu Wangxue to give up just because she didn't want to be apart. This was her job and what she loved. He would only support her wholeheartedly: "Don't worry, I understand and will support you 100%."
After saying this, he seemed to have suddenly guessed Liu Wangxue's intention and asked, "You are telling me this, aren't you trying to hint to me that the wedding can only be held in at least two years?"
Liu Wangxue immediately praised him: "You are so smart, that's what I mean!" After praising him, she felt something was wrong and poked his chest with her finger again: "What wedding? Don't think so far! Figure it out, I——"
Xu Qingsong laughed and held her hand: "I know, the next step after you inspect the goods is for me to propose. After I propose, our two families will have a formal meeting and dinner, and then hold an engagement ceremony. Then, when you are done with your work in the past two years, I will take you to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get a marriage certificate, and finally hold a wedding, and we can live happily together, right?"
Xu Qingsong really had everything planned out. Liu Wangxue listened to him with a smile in her eyes and nodded, "Yes." She raised her hand and held his face and kissed him, saying, "I'm not just thinking about myself. You're busy developing the PC game right now. It's going to take at least two years before we can enter the testing phase. So I think two years is a good time. Once our respective work is finished, we can prepare for the big event in our lives wholeheartedly."
Xu Qingsong held her in his arms. He was very happy that Liu Wangxue could discuss these things with him so openly. He knew that he had met the right person this time, and he was also very glad that he had taken the first step towards Liu Wangxue. He then asked, "Then when do you think it would be appropriate for me to propose to you?"
Liu Wangxue raised her head: "You still have to ask me this? I want a surprise! You decide for yourself. If I know in advance, what kind of surprise is that?"
"Okay!" Xu Qingsong hugged her and turned over, letting her lie on his chest, and just looked at her like that, as if he couldn't see enough.
Liu Wangxue just lay there and looked at him. After a while, she said, "There is one more thing."
"What's the matter?" Xu Qingsong helped her tuck a strand of hair behind her ear.
"It may be a little early to talk about this now." Liu Wangxue picked at the first button of his pajamas with her fingers.
"Well, you say." The hand that Xu Qingsong used to hold her hair slid down along her earlobe and cheek.
Liu Wangxue looked into his eyes: "It's about the child."
"I know." Xu Qingsong said.
"You know?" Liu Wangxue asked.
Xu Qingsong pinched her cheek: "You like children, and I like children too, so we will definitely have our own baby in the future. But I hope the baby comes as we expect, not by accident. You think so too, right?"
Liu Wangxue nodded. This was what she wanted to say to Xu Qingsong.
Xu Qingsong touched her hair and said, "So the matter of having children must be put after marriage."
Liu Wangxue nodded again, hugged Xu Qingsong, rubbed her face against his neck, and said in a humming voice: "Mr. Xu, you are so nice."
Xu Qingsong turned his face to kiss her and hugged her tightly: "Because I love you."
