Chapter Forty-Four
After taking another shower, it was almost 11 o'clock. Shi Qing saw Liang Yuheng's WeChat Moments post from two hours earlier, with the caption:
Happy birthday, baby.
In the picture, she is taking pictures of flowers.
Shi Qing realized that she hadn't even noticed Liang Yuheng taking pictures of her.
Zhou Han and her brother, along with Xia Mingqiu, all wished her a happy birthday in the comments. Zhou Han even imitated Liang Yuheng's tone and posted the same message.
To Shi Qing's surprise, Luo Luo also commented below.
She then realized that Liang Yuheng had Luoluo's WeChat account. No wonder he knew about the incident at the store last time and lied to her, saying it was because they were telepathically connected.
Shi Qing and Liang Yuheng didn't have many mutual friends, and what she couldn't see was that Liang Yuheng's own comment had already been flooded with messages.
Someone who never posts on social media in ages was suddenly showing off their relationship, and their friends teased them quite a bit.
Liang Yuheng didn't block anyone, so people in the company could see it. While everyone congratulated him, they also started gossiping about it privately.
Everyone was incredibly shocked. Liang Yuheng and his wife not only had a close relationship, but he was also so good at spoiling her.
Song Shu also saw Liang Yuheng's WeChat Moments; she was having dinner with friends at the time.
Seeing her drinking alone, her friend comforted her, saying, "Don't be sad. Marrying Liang Yuheng might not be a good thing. Even if Liang Yuheng likes her, his father and grandfather definitely won't agree. When faced with power and money, what do you think he will choose? Is Liang Yuheng the kind of person who's love-struck? I'm sure he won't give up the company for a woman."
Everyone in the industry knows that although Liang Yuheng is currently managing Keyu, his grandfather has not completely relinquished control.
In the past, Song Shu could still hope that Liang Yuheng was unwilling to marry her because he wanted to go against his father, but she began to waver after Cheng Jun's birthday last time.
Adding to today's WeChat Moments post, she never dared to believe that Liang Yuheng could like someone so much.
Even if they were to get married, Song Shu wasn't confident that Liang Yuheng would make an exception and post a birthday greeting for her on his WeChat Moments.
"Isn't your grandfather on good terms with his father? Your older brother also has a business relationship with Keyu. They've always doted on you the most. If you don't want to give up on Liang Yuheng, then don't just sit here and wait to die."
"You're right. Even if I don't get it, they won't have it easy either."

Liang Yuheng's birthday poster for Shi Qing today went viral online, and many people saw it while scrolling through short videos.
Before going to bed, Qian Min patted Shi Jian, who was snoring, and asked, "Tell me, which of the things Shi Qing said today was true? Is her boyfriend really that rich, able to give a two million yuan dowry?"
Shi Jian said impatiently, "Didn't she say she didn't ask for a single penny? She's probably lying to us. If she were really that rich, what would anyone want from her?"
Qian Min: "When she said that today, I was thinking of asking her to help us pay off some of our mortgage. I don't need much, but a hundred or two hundred thousand would make things much easier for us. Otherwise, with our meager salaries, we'd be working ourselves to death."
Shi Jian rolled over: "Stop thinking about it, go to sleep."
Qian Min felt a surge of anger when she saw him turn his head and start snoring: "Sleep, all you do is sleep!"
She picked up her phone and inadvertently saw a message her colleague had posted in the group chat, where everyone was discussing something.
I heard it costs 100,000 yuan to advertise here for one minute, and this ad has been running for a full two hours!
[Rich people really know how to be romantic!]
I really want to see what this rich kid's girlfriend looks like.
[It's definitely beautiful!]
[Let me be rich in my next life too.]
Qian Min clicked on the video and nearly dropped her phone when she saw the name "Shi Qing." She slapped Shi Jian hard, saying, "Wake up! Take a look at this!"
"Are you ever going to stop?!" Shi Jian was just about to fall asleep when he was woken up again, and he was furious.
Qian Min: "Shi Qing's boyfriend is richer than we imagined! Look at the birthday screen he put up for Shi Qing, no one who owns a small company would dare to spend like that!"
Shi Jian was instantly wide awake and sat bolt upright: "Is this really Shi Qing?"
Qian Min: "Otherwise, how many people share the same name and are celebrating their birthday today?"
Shi Jian snorted coldly: "No wonder she was so tough today, it turns out she really found a rich man."
Qian Min: "Do you think she really won't have anything to do with us anymore? Now that she's living a good life, she's cutting ties with us. Your sister is much more materialistic than I thought."
Shi Jian's face darkened: "Who knows? What she said today clearly shows she doesn't want us to spend a single penny of her money."
Qian Min: "Isn't she always the one who listens to your grandma the most? When you get back, have your mom talk to her. This rich kid is so wealthy, even a small amount would be enough for us to pay off the mortgage. Hey, why aren't you sleeping?"
Shi Jian got dressed and got out of bed: "Why are you still sleeping? Go talk to my parents."

The next day, as expected, Shi Qing woke up around noon.
The dress she wore yesterday got dirty by accident. Liang Yuheng said he would go back to get her a new dress, but Shi Qing was too lazy to go back and forth, so she didn't let him go.
Seeing the marks on the surface, Shi Qing couldn't help but recall the erotic scenes from last night.
It just so happened that it was Sunday, and Liang Yuheng didn't have to go to the company. The two had lunch at the hotel and then went home together.
After arriving home, Shi Qing pulled Liang Yuheng to the fitting room.
Liang Yuheng originally thought she wanted him to change clothes together. He could tell that Shi Qing had become much clingier than before since last night.
As she was unbuttoning her shirt, Liang Yuheng noticed her pointing towards the wardrobe.
Liang Yuheng saw a lot of new men's clothing, the colors of which were much brighter than his old clothes. He was a little surprised: "Did you buy these for me?"
Shi Qing nodded: "Yes, I saw you playing basketball before and you looked great in your sportswear, and you looked great when you came to my house too, so I wanted you to try some different styles. Do you like it?"
Liang Yuheng smiled and looked at her: "Yes, I like it."
“Look at this, I bought two different sizes, we can wear them as matching outfits.” Shi Qing took down two sweatshirts, one black and one white.
“Okay.” Liang Yuheng picked up the white shirt and held it up against himself.
Shi Qing: "I was thinking of buying you a few pairs of shoes, but you're worried they won't fit. If you don't have any plans today, how about we go look together?"
“Okay, I was just thinking of buying some things too.” Liang Yuheng took the sweatshirt and went to the bedroom with her.
Shi Qing put the clothes she wanted to change into on the bed and casually asked, "What do you want to buy?"
Liang Yuheng took her hand and kissed it: "Wedding ring."
Upon hearing those two words, Shi Qing's heart trembled slightly.
She knew what the wedding ring meant.
It turns out that Liang Yuheng really intended to spend his life with her.
Over the course of their time together, Shi Qing felt that she not only admired this man, but also that they were very compatible in every way.
Therefore, she was willing to establish a long-lasting bond with him.
Shi Qing smiled and asked, "Could I buy this for you?"
Liang Yuheng didn't have any particular requirements for the style of the ring. He was naturally happy to hear that Shi Qing was willing to do this: "You can buy it, but you don't need to buy anything too expensive."
"Don't worry, I actually want to buy the expensive one." Shi Qing stepped forward and hugged him, asking in a pleading tone, "Can you grant me one request?"
Liang Yuheng hugged her too: "You tell me."
Shi Qing looked up: "Are you going to propose to me later?"
Liang Yuheng met her gaze: "Yes, you will have everything that others have."
"Could we do it later?" Shi Qing asked with a smile.
Liang Yuheng raised an eyebrow: "How late?"
"After May Day next year?"
"What is the reason?"
"I'm going to be busy with opening a shop soon, so I want to focus on work for the next few months after the New Year. I'll start preparing for the wedding once I've settled down, is that okay?" Shi Qing blinked, looking like she was pleading.
Liang Yuheng did feel it was a bit late, so he had no choice but to agree after hearing what she said.
Shi Qing was delighted when he agreed: "Then let's change our clothes and go to the mall."
"Okay." Liang Yuheng helped her change out of her dress.
Seeing him fidgeting, Shi Qing gently scolded him, "Stop it, I'm cold."
"All right."
Liang Yuheng reluctantly changed his clothes.
The two wore matching hoodies, and Liang Yuheng, with his tall and upright figure, looked even more youthful in them.
You look much younger.
Shi Qing felt that her intuition was indeed correct; this man looked good in anything.
Liang Yuheng slowly hummed in agreement: "Why do you think I'm too old?"
Shi Qing smiled and said, "I didn't mean that. I meant you look very handsome like this!"
Liang Yuheng was finally satisfied: "I'll buy a few more when I get back."
Before leaving the house, Liang Yuheng took a picture of himself in the full-length mirror with his phone and sent it to the group chat.
Liang Yuheng: [My wife bought it.]
Cheng Jun: [?]
Cheng Jun: [Who asked?!]
Cheng Jun: [Are they addicted to showing off their love?! Last time it was those couple selfies in Haishi, and then there was his WeChat Moments post last night. Can anyone kick him out?!]
Wei Wen: [They haven't been in a relationship for ages, they're in the honeymoon phase, please be understanding.]
To curry favor in his bid for best man, Zhou Gan said, "Looks good, I love looking at you!"
Cheng Jun: [...]

After shopping for about an hour, Shi Qing picked out several types of shoes for Liang Yuheng, including sneakers, skate shoes, and Martin boots.
Looking at Liang Yuheng in the mirror, Shi Qing liked him more and more. The thought that such a handsome man was her made her wave her hand and say, "They're both good-looking, let's have them both."
Liang Yuheng smiled at her and said, "Okay."
Shi Qing emphasized again, "You're not allowed to try to pay the bill with me later."
"Thank you, honey." The shoes weren't particularly expensive, so Liang Yuheng let her have them.
"You're welcome." Shi Qing finally experienced what it felt like to pay for someone she liked. "I'll work hard to earn money in the future and buy you things again."
Upon hearing this, the waiter's gaze towards Liang Yuheng became complicated.
Seeing how handsome Liang Yuheng was, they assumed he was a kept man.
Liang Yuheng didn't care at all and played along with Shi Qing's act: "Wife, you're too good to me."
"I'm glad you like them." Shi Qing said happily and asked the waiter to wrap up all the shoes.
As they came out of the store, Shi Qing took Liang Yuheng's arm and said, "Let's go shopping at the supermarket downstairs later."
Although their family has a housekeeper who buys everything they need every day, Shi Qing still wants to experience shopping at the supermarket with someone she likes.
Liang Yuheng glanced at her sideways and said, "Okay."
After arriving at the supermarket, they bought a lot of vegetables in the fresh produce section, and Shi Qing planned to cook for Liang Yuheng herself later.
After browsing for a while, Shi Qing noticed he had taken quite a few snacks and asked in surprise, "You like to eat these?"
Liang Yuheng looked down at the instructions on the potato chips: "I didn't eat them much before, but now I want to try them."
Shi Qing: "Then let's try it together."
"OK."
Before they knew it, the two had filled a shopping cart to the brim.
As they passed the checkout area, Liang Yuheng saw the condoms next to him and whispered to Shi Qing, "We seem to be running low on condoms. Shall we restock?"
Shi Qing gave an unnatural "hmm".
The next second, Liang Yuheng was seen carrying more than a dozen boxes.
And they're all extra large!
Shi Qing tugged at his sleeve and whispered in his ear, "What are you doing with so much?!"
Liang Yuheng smiled without changing his expression: "Is it a lot!"
"..."
It was the weekend, and there were many people queuing up. When Liang Yuheng handed the items to the cashier, Shi Qing could feel many eyes looking over.
She could only pretend to be calm and look around at the ceiling.
Shi Qing secretly decided that if Liang Yuheng wanted to buy condoms in the future, she would never go grocery shopping with him again!
-
On Monday morning after breakfast, Shi Qing noticed that Liang Yuheng was still wearing the same sweatshirt as yesterday, with black pants and white sneakers.
"Isn't this too informal for you?" Shi Qing couldn't help but remind her before she left the house.
Liang Yuheng: "It's alright, there are no important events today."
"That's good."
Liang Yuheng took the elevator to the basement. His driver, Zhao Fei, got out of the car and opened the door for him. Seeing that Liang Yuheng was dressed differently than usual, Zhao Fei couldn't help but take a second look.
Liang Yuheng asked calmly, "Is it beautiful?"
Zhao Fei laughed and said, "Looks good, Mr. Liang! You look handsome in anything!"
"My wife bought it."
"You have excellent taste, madam!"
"Yes, it's not bad."
Upon arriving at the company, Liang Yuheng passed by the secretary's office. Someone glanced out and thought a male celebrity had arrived, but upon closer inspection, it turned out to be the big boss.
Everyone knew that Liang Yuheng's clothes were almost all handmade and custom-made, but no one expected him to wear such a low-key brand today.
Although the clothes cost four figures, they were still affordable for them, so many people said they wanted to buy clothes from this store as well.
Liang Yuheng had been away on a business trip for almost half a month recently, and today he convened a high-level meeting. Everyone was stunned when they saw his outfit today.
"I was originally planning to wear formal attire, but my wife had already prepared the clothes this morning. You don't mind, do you?"
Liang Yuheng sat at the long table and slowly glanced at everyone.
"..."
Would they dare to object?!
