Chapter 169 "Are you going to...put me under house arrest?"
With the earth-shaking "proposal" plan in mind, Wen Duo's steps were so light that she almost jumped up, and she couldn't wait to make arrangements.
She walked through the long corridor covered with soft carpets and was about to quietly look for the housekeeper, but when she turned the corner, she ran into a familiar smell.
When she looked up, her heart skipped a beat.
Ji Huaishen had returned without anyone noticing and was lazily leaning against the wall. The wall lamp beside him outlined his deep silhouette, with his long legs crossed.
His gaze lingered for a moment on her cheeks, which were flushed with excitement, and his eyebrows raised slightly.
"Are you done talking?"
His voice was low, with a hint of subtle inquiry:
"It looks like he's thought of a gift for me. After all, the corners of his mouth are almost curled up to the sky."
Wen Duo's heart skipped a beat and she subconsciously covered her face.
Is it that obvious?
She tried hard to suppress the little deer in her chest that was about to jump out, pretending to be calm, but her eyes were a little vague:
"No... I'm still thinking..."
Ji Huaishen obviously didn't believe it. He leaned forward slightly, and the oppressive feeling he brought with him spread silently.
He stretched out his hand, and Wen Duo subconsciously put her hand into his warm palm.
Then, he gently pulled Wen Duo and she fell directly into Ji Huaishen's arms.
"Yeah?"
He pinched her fingertips and played with them slowly.
Wen Duo could only feel his chest vibrating with a hint of pleasure:
"How about this, how about you agree to my previous proposal?"
His fingertips were burning hot, seeping through the skin.
These words made Wen Duo's already guilty heart beat even faster.
"I will never agree to your perverted suggestion!" Wen Duo immediately retorted.
Ji Huaishen raised his eyebrows slightly and replied with a smile:
"Well, that means you have other ideas."
Wen Duo knew it at once, and Ji Huaishen must have known it.
He was so perceptive that she always seemed to have nothing to hide in front of him.
Wen Duo took a deep breath, forced herself to meet his inquiring gaze, and tried to put on a smug look of "You guessed it right, but I won't tell you," with her chin slightly raised:
"Yeah! I got it! This is an incredible gift, I guarantee you'll never, ever forget it!"
When she said this, her eyes were shining, filled with undisguised anticipation and a little bit of sly suspense, like a kitten about to successfully pull off a prank.
A hint of genuine surprise and deeper curiosity flashed across Ji Huaishen's eyes.
He had seen her in so many ways: shy, well-behaved, and occasionally angry.
Now, the reason she looked so proud was because she was going to give him a gift.
A gift specially prepared for him.
This realization pleased him.
He chuckled softly, the voice that rolled out of his throat was magnetic and hoarse:
"Oh? So confident? Then I'm really looking forward to it."
"It's a must!" Wen Duo nodded heavily.
"Is there anything I can do for you?" he asked kindly, his posture relaxed and fully cooperative.
Wen Duo originally wanted to shake her head and say no, but then a flash of inspiration came to her and a brilliant idea popped up.
In order to ensure that the surprise is foolproof, the biggest "uncertainty factor" must be controlled!
She immediately stood up straight, put on a serious expression, and even stretched out her slender white fingers and tapped his chest:
"Need it! Very much needed! Ji Huaishen, listen carefully!"
She cleared her throat and issued an imperial decree:
"From now on, until your birthday party starts the day after tomorrow morning, you are not allowed to wander around! You can only stay in the bedroom!"
"Hmm... It's a bit boring to stay in the bedroom all the time. You can go to the study, and you can go to those entertainment areas on the third floor, but you absolutely cannot go to the greenhouse! Also, you absolutely cannot ask the butler or any servants what they are doing or what they are preparing!"
The more she talked about it, the more she felt that this idea was brilliant. It completely eliminated the possibility of the surprise being leaked at the source!
Ji Huaishen is so smart and has terrifying observation skills. As long as she can isolate him, her proposal plan will be half successful!
Ji Huaishen obviously didn't expect such a "request". He was stunned for a moment, then laughed:
"Are you going to...put me under house arrest?"
“It’s not house arrest!”
Wen Duo's face flushed, and she argued:
"Yes...it's a necessary secret procedure for the surprise! Do you agree?"
She subconsciously tugged at his sleeve, adding a hint of coquettishness to her tone.
Ji Huaishen lowered his eyes, looked at her slender fingers grabbing the cuffs of his shirt, and then looked at her anxious and pleading eyes that were full of "If you don't agree to me, it's over", and the softest part of his heart was gently touched.
"The necessary secrecy of the surprise..."
He repeated her words slowly, the smile in his eyes deepening, and finally turning into complete compromise and pampering.
He took her hand in his backhand, brought it to his lips, and placed a soft and warm kiss on the back of her delicate hand.
"good."
He raised his eyes to look at her, his gaze so deep that it seemed to draw her in:
"Mrs. Ji has ordered me to do so, and I dare not disobey. From now on, I am your 'prisoner'. I will stay in the bedroom, asking no questions and waiting for your...surprise."
He agreed!
He agreed so easily!
Fireworks instantly exploded in Wen Duo's heart, and joy bubbled out like bubbles.
She was so happy that she almost wanted to rush over and kiss him, but luckily she held back and didn't want to act too abnormally!
"Then hurry up! Go now!"
She was afraid that he would change his mind, or that he would notice if she stayed a second longer, so she quickly pushed him up.
Ji Huaishen took a few steps following Wen Duo's strength, with an undying smile and strong interest in his eyes, and walked up the stairs at a leisurely pace.
Wen Duo stood there, holding her pounding heart, until his back disappeared around the corner of the stairs, then she let out a long, excited breath.
First step, success!
Block the male protagonist's actions√!
Next, it’s her time to show off her skills and arrange an extremely romantic reverse proposal!
Flower room, roses, candles, rings...Oh, I still have to find the housekeeper first!
Wen Duo ran quickly in the other direction, full of energy.
What she didn't know was that at the entrance of the second-floor stairs, Ji Huaishen was standing with his hands behind his back, looking down at the pretty figure downstairs that passed by like a little whirlwind, with a deep and expectant arc at the corner of his lips.
Wen Duo felt happy that she was super smart and had hidden everything, but Ji Huaishen immediately summed up the information from Wen Duo's words just now.
They were ordered not to go to the greenhouse and not to ask the housekeeper or the maid.
That means the location is in the greenhouse, and the housekeeper and maids are needed to prepare things, probably decorations.
As for what is done in the greenhouse, there is no information at the moment.
So, what kind of surprise will his wife Ji give him that he will never forget?
He was really...looking forward to it more than ever before.
