Chapter 11 The word "proposal" is so hot. The worst acting skill in my life...
"I'd better skip it." Jiang Ziyi said after hesitating for a while.
"Hey, Sister Jiang, you haven't answered any questions yet. It seems like you're not being very honest." Luo Pan held his cheek cutely.
"You're right," Jiang Ziyi nodded seriously, "I'll try harder next time."
Luo Pan, who was just looking for an opportunity to stir up trouble:…
"Third question: Have you ever regretted marrying him/her?"
"Yes!" Yu Huating and Du Xiaofang answered in unison.
"Mr. Yu, please deduct two more points." The host said softly.
“…Do you really regret marrying me?” This was the first time that Yu Huating showed obvious panic since appearing on the show.
"I do regret it," Du Xiaofang said, choosing her words carefully. "Not very often... but I would imagine what my other life would be like."
"If you really think so, then I..." Yu Huating hesitated to speak, and he looked much more listless.
"I regret it." Luo Pan's eyes were slightly red.
“…No regrets.” Wang Zihe successfully passed the polygraph test.
"You don't regret it?" Luo Pan was somewhat excited.
"Is regret useful?" Wang Zihe pulled his baseball cap down low.
"No regrets." Gu Zhi said clearly.
"Yiyi, you can also... not answer this question." He tried to look away.
"I don't regret it either." Jiang Ziyi's cat ears stood firmly on his head.
She really couldn't bear to see Gu Zhi being so cautious.

"I've changed our schedules. The flight is on the morning of the 20th. I've rented a convertible off-road vehicle and found a local tour guide. We'll drive south along the animal migration route. Maybe we can catch them when it's almost sunset..." Gu Zhi was folding the tripod into the suitcase when he suddenly noticed that the silence behind him was unusual.
"Hey, what is this?" Jiang Ziyi took out an exquisite small square box from his mountaineering bag. The black velvet lining was dotted with sparkling diamonds, and it looked very heavy.
"!!!" Gu Zhi snatched it from her hand in one step, "It's a gift from the brand." He covered it up with the worst acting skills of his life.
"Oh, what's the gift?" Jiang Ziyi tiptoed forward and asked suddenly when he let his guard down.
Gu Zhi shuddered, and the box accidentally slipped out of his hand and rolled twice on the floor.
I don’t know what mechanism was touched, but the lid of the box opened automatically, and the spring of the built-in music box slowly turned, playing Jiang Ziyi’s favorite piano piece.
Then, a little black cat with a crown and one yellow and one green mandarin duck gemstone eyes rose from the center of the box.
It sat on the tip of the crescent moon, its two cat paws nervously holding the fishing rod, and slowly and tremblingly caught a ring from the sparkling blue crystal lake.
"Are you sure this was a gift from the brand?" Jiang Ziyi's suspicion level rose to eighty percent.
"Yes, a new fashion item." Gu Zhi said stiffly.
"This size should be for a women's ring, right?" Jiang Ziyi took off the fish hook.
"Don't assume the gender of the ring." Gu Zhi tried to keep a straight face.
“Then how come this logo…is it in competition with the luxury brand you endorse?”
"I remembered it wrongly. I bought this for a friend." Gu Zhi quickly closed the lid.
"You're going to go to the African savannah with me carrying a ring you bought for your friend?" Jiang Ziyi couldn't help but ask, "Don't you think it's ridiculous?"
“…Maybe I forgot to take it out.” Gu Zhi was still quibbling.
"No, Mr. Gu, the word 'propose' is too hot to your lips?" Jiang Ziyi stood in front of him.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to force you to get married. I just accidentally saw the link to the ring when I was choosing a gift for Valentine's Day..." Gu Zhi reflected.
"It was Valentine's Day two years ago," Jiang Ziyi checked the picture online, "custom-made by a designer, limited edition worldwide, made of moon rock...it's too expensive!" She didn't even count how many zeros there were.
"Wait, Mao Yuanzhan brought a bunch of accessories here and asked me what material I liked... Is this also part of your plan?" she asked vigilantly.
"Yeah." Gu Zhi said somewhat guiltily.
"I know that advancing the relationship will make you nervous, so I haven't found the right time." Gu Zhi rubbed his brows in distress. "I put on this ring when we went to Iceland to see the northern lights last year. I hope we can be together forever, but I'm afraid of ruining everything we have, so I didn't take it out in the end."
"If you keep it for a few more years, it can become a family heirloom." Jiang Ziyi mocked him.
"I actually...buy new ones every year," Gu Zhi blushed, "because I'm worried that your preferences will change."
"This year's ring and box are in my wallet." He confessed everything in one breath.
Jiang Ziyi:? ? ? How much do you hate getting married?
"Don't they say that you can only buy a wedding ring once in a lifetime..." she muttered.
"It can only be bought for one person in a lifetime." Gu Zhi said seriously.
"I really like making plans like this, how to propose to you, which season to hold the wedding, where to go for the honeymoon... I feel happy just thinking about it." He exhaled lightly and said carefully, "Again, I really don't mean to force you..."
"I accept." Jiang Ziyi showed him his left ring finger.
"You...what?" Gu Zhi looked at her blankly.
"Gu Zhi, let's get married," Jiang Ziyi said quickly, "while I don't regret it enough now."

“Question 4: What do you think is the biggest regret between you and your partner?”
"I'll skip this one." Du Xiaofang has become very quiet since the last question.
"Xiaofang and I are classmates in the editing and directing major," Yu Huating was silent for a moment, then said, "Her works have won awards at student film festivals one after another. She originally had the opportunity to study abroad... but I persuaded her to stay."
"At the time, I only thought about our being together, and I didn't think it was unfair to her," Yu Huating said slowly. "Later, when I encountered a similar situation, she supported me to focus on my career... I am sorry for her."
"Oh, it's old news. What's there to mention?" Ms. Du turned her face away.
"Regrets? There are too many," Luo Pan clicked his fingers unconsciously, "For example, now that we are about to get divorced, I feel that I still don't really understand him."
"It would be nice if I could have another son." Wang Zihe said after hesitating for a while.
"You already have a daughter, so why should you be unsatisfied?" Director Yu, a well-known daughter-slave in the circle, cast an incredulous glance at him.
"It's not that my daughter can't do it. My family has been a single-line family for three generations, and it will be broken with me." Wang Zihe didn't think he did anything wrong. "Besides, I've always wanted to train my son to be a rapper."
"Which law says that girls can't be rappers?" Du Xiaofang raised her slender eyebrows. "Huahua took us to a music festival to listen to a little girl rap. She was so cool, and she didn't even use those vulgar lyrics."
"Auntie, you just don't understand..." Wang Zihe blurted out.
"Who is your aunt?" Yu Huating slammed the table.
"Brother Yu, Sister Du, don't be angry, Zihe didn't mean that," Luo Pan said hurriedly, "I also think it's good to have another son, so that he can keep my sister company--"
"How can you two be so feudal at such young ages!" Du Xiaofang was so angry that she shook her head.
"I just feel that my musical talent needs someone to inherit." Wang Zihe said without showing any weakness.
"What was your ranking in the rap competition?" Gu Zhi asked him.
“…42nd in the country.”
"My suggestion is that you can accumulate more talent." Gu Zhi said calmly.
"My biggest regret..." He continued answering the question after Wang Zihe completely shut up, "I think my proposal was too hasty. I prepared more than 20 plans, but none of them worked."
As he spoke, the fox ears on Gu Zhi's head drooped down rapidly.
"Well, it's actually more of a shame about the wedding," he added quickly, "I had always hoped it would be a bigger event."
After Jiang Ziyi graduated from the Film Academy, he didn't get any good scripts for a long time.
As a former child star, she had a lot of negative news and was involved in many lawsuits, and was gradually marginalized in the circle.
It was not until the news of her marriage to Gu Zhi was accidentally leaked that Jiang Ziyi began to receive film offers one after another. In line with the principle of not missing any opportunity, she traveled to various film sets for more than half a year, completely forgetting about the wedding.
In addition to being busy with work, Jiang Ziyi was also troubled by the issue of inviting guests. Lin Shuyao had already severed ties with her, and her biological father had long been dead in her heart. Apart from a few close friends, she couldn't even find anyone who could walk her down the red carpet.
"Should we choose linen, silk, pure cotton... or a table runner with lace?" Gu Zhi stared at the computer screen and wrote down the information quickly on paper.
"A table runner with lace." Jiang Ziyi leaned on the sofa and read the script.
"Do you want the color to be goose yellow, fruit green, beige or pearl white?" The tip of his pen moved to the next item on the form.
"Pearl whites."
"For the main course, would you like to choose lobster, steak, salmon or Xiao Wan Neng instant noodles?" Gu Zhi stopped writing as if realizing something.
"The last one." Jiang Ziyi answered without thinking.
“…You are just choosing the longest one out of three short ones!” Gu Zhi tapped her forehead helplessly.
"There are only less than two days left, so let's just do it casually for now," Jiang Ziyi stretched lazily, "I'll make up for it when I have time later."
Gu Zhi turned the computer in front of her and showed her the news headline he had just clicked on:
An elderly couple held their wedding ceremony fifty years after their marriage. The couple entered the venue in a wheelchair and her dentures fell out halfway through the vows.
Jiang Ziyi: “…”
"And the process you've designed now is too complicated," she took the thick plan from Gu Zhi's hand and flipped through the pages from the first page. "'The bride descends from the sky in a hot air balloon, with white wings spread out behind her...' Have I strayed into some fantasy film set?"
"This is how angels should come to earth." Gu Zhi said as a matter of course.
