Chapter 618 Roses may wither, but my love will last until death.
Not long after starting the journey.
The vehicle stopped in front of a restaurant.
The restaurant is located at the highest point in the city, in a prime location where every inch of land is precious. It has a rooftop garden that overlooks the entire capital.
The sun is setting.
The purple glow of the sky bathed the entire garden, making people feel as if they were enveloped in divine light.
It is filled with warmth, light, life, and the future.
Beautiful and captivating.
"What are we doing here?" Pei Jinwu looked up at the restaurant and asked curiously, "Eating?"
"Um."
Shang Shiyan pulled Pei Jinwu toward the restaurant, his nervousness visibly evident: "Let's go."
"..."
Pei Jinwu pursed her lips and tilted her head to carefully examine the man.
Why be nervous about eating?
My palms are all sweaty!
Pei Jinwu felt that this man was definitely up to something.
They hadn't walked more than a few steps.
Pei Jinwu noticed something amiss.
She noticed a red velvet box in Shang Shiyan's suit pocket.
Judging by appearance, it's for holding rings.
Is he really proposing?
——
Rooftop garden.
Spring has arrived, and the flowers all around are in full bloom.
The vast venue was completely empty.
Quiet and beautiful.
"Play by yourself for a while, I'm going to the restroom." Shang Shiyan arranged the desserts for her and left.
"Buzzing—"
His phone, which he had left on the table, suddenly vibrated.
Pei Jinwu leaned closer and saw Feng Zhi's message: "Master, everything for the proposal is ready. When do we start?"
"..."
Pei Jinwu slowed her chewing, her clear eyes blinking.
He even proposed in secret!
A large colander!
Should she pretend she doesn't know?
I'm hesitating.
Shang Shiyan rushed back, picked up his phone, and looked at her nervously.
Pei Jinwu pursed her lips in thought.
never mind.
Let's just pretend we don't know.
She looked up, revealing an "innocent" smile: "What's wrong?"
"There's some work that needs to be done immediately."
"oh."
Pei Jinwu looked away and focused on eating.
Seeing that she wasn't acting strangely, Shang Shiyan breathed a sigh of relief and strode away.
...
Ten minutes later.
Seeing that Shang Shiyan hadn't returned for a long time, Pei Jinwu grew bored waiting.
He swayed as he went out to look for someone.
Can I just propose right away?
Him: Do you agree?
She: Yes.
Isn't that all?
She heard that the food at this restaurant is especially delicious, and she wants to try it.
Walk around the corner.
Just then, I saw Fengxing come out of the room and walk straight into the elevator.
Pei Jinwu leaned closer and peeked inside.
They discovered that Shang Shiyan was holding a card and was muttering something unintelligible.
Upon regaining her composure, she heard: "You are my unexpected encounter, and also my sudden joy."
Pei Jinwu: "?"
Is this a marriage proposal vow?
"Wuwu, this world isn't all that good, nor is it all that bad. But with you, it's the best world for me."
"You are the best gift, the belated salvation, the heart that never stops beating, and irreplaceable."
"Roses may wither, but my love will last until death."
"Wuwu, marry me."
"..."
Pei Jinwu listened quietly, and when she came to her senses, tears suddenly streamed down her face.
A touch of the fingertip.
They are tears.
Where did you learn these cheesy love quotes?
It's a bit rustic, but it's quite touching.
Pei Jinwu originally wanted to expose the truth directly, finish the matter quickly, and start eating as soon as possible.
Seeing how seriously he prepared, I couldn't bear to do it.
Pei Jinwu pretended not to know and returned to the garden restaurant.
Shortly after sitting down.
The glass door suddenly opened, and the older brothers and sisters walked in one after another.
Immediately afterwards.
Wen Jianjian, Zhao Qianqian, Xu Qingye, and Tang Yuan followed them in.
The expressions on their faces varied.
The others were relatively normal; the third brother was laughing nonchalantly, while the fourth sister had a dark expression on her face.
Wen Jianjian stared at her with wide eyes, full of anticipation.
Do you really need this many people to propose?
"Why are you all here too?" Pei Jinwu leaned back, squinting her eyes as if feigning confusion.
"Old Fox said the weather is nice and everyone is free, so it would be good to have a meal together."
Song Mingji, quick to speak, answered first.
"fine?"
Pei Jinwu's gaze fell on Jiang Jibai's face, and she opened her mouth: "Big brother, didn't you have an advertisement that was postponed for a long time and was supposed to be filmed today?"
"Doesn't your lab have a report to complete, Second Brother?"
"Is there a boxing match at the fourth sister's boxing room today...?"
"Fifth Sister..."
"..."
"As for them..."
Pei Jinwu tilted her head and looked at Wen Jianjian and the others, her red lips moving slightly: "At this time, they should be in school."
"Forehead."
Song Mingji was startled and almost bit his tongue.
"..."
Jiang Jibai glared at Xiao San'er; if he didn't speak, no one would think he was mute.
With her intelligence, could she be easily fooled?
They tried to steal a chicken but ended up losing the rice instead!
"Shang Shiyan said that too many things have happened recently, and he was worried that you would be in a bad mood, so he called us all out to keep you company."
Jiang Jibai sat down and poured juice for Pei Jinwu. "We also think the old fox is making a fuss over nothing. We had no choice but to come because we were coerced and bribed."
"..."
Pei Jinwu frowned and pursed her lips.
If she hadn't guessed in advance that he was going to propose, she would have actually believed it.
The eldest brother truly deserves to be called an award-winning actor.
"Is that so?" Pei Jinwu asked deliberately.
"yes."
Seeing this, the others chimed in, their laughter more like a grimace than a cry.
Feeling guilty.
Another clear voice rang out: "Little Sister Wu!"
Lou Ying was dressed impeccably, a smile playing on his lips; he was handsome enough to be a beauty pageant contestant.
Upon seeing her, Jiang Jibai frowned deeply.
Lou Ying turned her head and, by sheer bad luck, caught a glimpse of Jiang Jibai's disgusted expression.
Oh.
That pretty boy dares to glare at her!
If it weren't for the fact that today is a special day for Miss Mist, she would have given him a good talking-to.
"Now that the underground city issue is resolved, can you take me to meet your parents later?"
Lou Ying stepped forward, picked up Pei Jinwu's water glass, and drank from it.
"Who are your parents?"
Jiang Jibai changed his sister's cup to a clean one and filled it with juice.
"Little Sister Wu said her parents are my parents." Lou Ying crossed her legs, looking relaxed and at ease. "Little Sister Wu, are you going to let me see her or not?"
"Okay, later." Pei Jinwu smiled faintly.
Lou Ying's mother died early, and he only had a scoundrel father who later married a stepmother.
I've never experienced any warmth or affection from family since I was a child.
The two made a promise when they first met.
If she finds her parents in the future, she wants Lou Ying to recognize them as her "godfather and godmother".
"Hey."
Lou Ying proudly raised his chin at Jiang Jibai, looking quite arrogant.
"Oh."
Jiang Jibai pursed his lips, his anger rising slightly.
——
We've pretty much finished talking.
Qu Qingli suddenly stepped forward and covered Pei Jinwu's eyes: "Wuwu, let's play a game?"
"..."
Pei Jinwu sighed and was forced to perform: "Okay."
Then came a series of light footsteps and deliberately hushed conversations.
A pleasant fragrance wafted through the air, a scent unique to Shang Shiyan.
The male lead has arrived.
"Alright, you can open your eyes now." Qu Qingli said, then quickly stepped aside.
Pei Jinwu opened her eyes and saw Shang Shiyan holding a ring, kneeling on one knee in front of her.
His handsome face couldn't hide his nervousness.
"I...you..."
Everyone stared at him, completely bewildered.
What's wrong with the old fox?
He even stutters at crucial moments!
——
There will be more updates.
