Chapter 145 The Original Dog Food
"Where's An'an? I heard An'an's voice earlier, but where is he?" I looked around. The theater was dark except for the screen. I looked around but couldn't see An'an.
"He has a mission to complete, don't worry."
We sat in the front row, watching Chen Weiqi and Huang Yanyan like we were watching a movie. Yanyan was wearing a black dress today because she didn't want to steal Song Ji-hyo's thunder. If she had known she was being proposed to today, she definitely wouldn't have dressed like this.
At this moment, Yan Yan's mind must be in a daze. Everyone knows that this scene is a marriage proposal. She had just witnessed a marriage proposal, and now she was being proposed to herself. The plot was developing too fast.
"Grandpa, Grandma, Aunt and Uncle are getting married here~" An'an's childish voice broke the silence.
When I looked back, I saw Chen Weiqi's parents, Huang Yanyan's parents, and the people who had just appeared in that hall. It seemed that Chen Weiqi had come prepared today as well.
The three of us just received roses. Does that mean Chu Zhen is going to propose to me next?
I glanced at Chu Zhen. He was looking at Chen Weiqi and Huang Yanyan with great interest, completely ignoring me. He just held my hand tightly and didn't let go. Maybe I was overthinking it, or maybe he was just surprised because they both had roses while I didn't, and he wasn't worried about me being disappointed.
"Yan Yan, will you marry me?" While everyone was waiting for Chen Weiqi to confess his feelings, he went straight to the point, which surprised us viewers.
"I do~" What's even more unbelievable is that Huang Yanyan agreed without even thinking about it.
"Huanhuan, where's the ring?" Chen Weiqi looked at Huanhuan, who was happily playing with balloons by herself.
"Here, here~" Huanhuan didn't move, but An'an heard the ring and immediately took it out of her pocket.
Chen Weiqi took the ring, and Huang Yanyan happily extended her right hand. However, the moment the ring box was opened, Chen Weiqi quickly closed it.
"What's wrong?" Yan Yan was clearly flustered, not knowing what had happened. It hadn't been easy for her and Chen Weiqi to get to where they were today. Could it be that she had agreed too readily?
“This isn’t mine,” Chen Weiqi said.
"An'an, where did you put your uncle's ring?" I quickly went to An'an. This kid is usually very playful. They are really bold to leave such an important thing as a ring on a child.
"This is the ring box I have here~ and it was given to me by my dad, not my uncle." An'an said somewhat unhappily, her little brows furrowed, clearly a miniature version of Chu Zhen.
"Dad gave it to you? What about your uncle's?" Despite having questions, Chen Weiqi was waiting for the proposal, so he had to find his ring first.
"It's with my sister. It was given to her by my uncle."
"Yes, yes, I just asked Huanhuan for it." Chen Weiqi was so nervous that he forgot that the ring was with Huanhuan.
“Yes, the ring is with me, so why did Mom scold my brother?” Huanhuan was actually quite angry. These two siblings usually bicker and never give in to each other, but when something happens, they are quite good at protecting each other.
"Here, godfather, this is your ring." Huanhuan handed the ring box to Chen Weiqi, then turned around and handed me the ring box from An'an's hand. "This was given to my brother by my father. It has nothing to do with my brother. I'm giving it back to you now. Don't let us kids keep your things." After saying that, she pulled An'an to play with balloons on the side.
Chen Weiqi's proposal was only halfway through. Although I had many questions in my mind, they were the main characters now, so I took the ring box and sat down next to Chu Zhen.
With the ring in hand, Chen Weiqi put it on Huang Yanyan's finger. Their proposal, aside from the surprise, went too smoothly, without any sentimentality. But it was precisely because of its simplicity that it revealed their importance to each other. I'm so happy that my best friend has found her own happiness. Watching Huang Yanyan being held in Chen Weiqi's arms, after all these years, he finally didn't let Yanyan down. Thinking about Yanyan's difficult "chasing-husband" journey, my eyes welled up with tears.
After the proposal, everyone planned to celebrate at a restaurant in City B, and then the rest of the group left. An'an and Huanhuan stayed there, watching the balloons and having a great time, not wanting to leave. Chu Zhen and I just sat there watching them.
"Your ring?" I handed the ring box to Chu Zhen.
Chu Zhen took the ring box, opened it with one hand, and slowly let go of my hand.
“That proposal was too rushed, and the ring size wasn’t right. Look, how about this one?” Chu Zhen took my left hand and put the ring on my ring finger. The diamond on this ring must be one carat, surrounded by many small diamonds, and the whole shape is teardrop-shaped.
"Is this the one we saw in the advertisement?" I remember watching TV with Chu Zhen that time, and I joked that this ring was quite nice.
"It's that one, but it's custom-made. It has our initials inside." I was about to take it off to see the words when Chu Zhen grabbed my hand. "Don't look yet. I guess I successfully proposed today. Let's take those two little rascals out!"
"Did you successfully propose?"
“Yeah, I can’t let my wife lose to my best friend. Let’s go, show off your ring to them. Yours is the biggest among the three of you.” Without saying a word, Chu Zhen picked up Huanhuan with one hand and pulled me with the other, while I held An’an’s hand with the other.
"Wow, this is the original way to show off your love!" As soon as we entered the private room, a group of people started to cheer us on.
"Sister Lin Dang, your ring?" Xiao Xiao ran to my side as if she had discovered something amazing, took my hand, and exclaimed, "Was it a gift from Boss Chu?"
"If it weren't for your Boss Chu's gift, your Sister Lin Dang's hand would probably be in danger," Cao Gang laughed.
"Wow, that's a huge diamond, Sister Song! It's bigger than yours!"
"Oh yeah, Zhao Zhengyu, you've gone too far. I regret it now. Why didn't you buy me a bigger one? Are you just unwilling to spend money on me? A man who's unwilling to spend money before marriage will be even more stingy after marriage. Take the ring back~" Song Ji-hyo pretended to take the ring off.
"Grandma, it's no use taking it down. So many people have testified, including Mom and Dad, right, Mom and Dad?"
Zhao Zhengyu really has a sweet tongue; he's already started calling Song Ji-hyo "Dad" and "Mom." Song Ji-hyo's parents kept nodding in agreement. Parents are always reluctant to let their daughters marry off, but now that this long-lost daughter has finally found someone, they are genuinely happy.
"Alright, I promise you a big one when we get married, twice the size of Lin Dang's, how about that?" Zhao Zhengyu turned his face.
These two are truly a pair of bickering lovers, but now they're inseparable again.
