Ye Chuzhou put down the pen in his hand and lowered his head to think about it.

"I really don't remember this clearly." He pursed his lips and frowned, thinking for a while, "But my family should know, how about I take you to ask my grandfather?"

"Is it convenient?" she asked tentatively, "Will the old man misunderstand the relationship between you and me?"

After all, Ye Chuzhou is single and had a good impression of her before, so she doesn't want to cause unnecessary misunderstandings.

"No." He explained, "I will explain to my family clearly that you are just asking them about antiques."

After saying that, Ye Chuzhou turned on his cell phone and checked the time.

"I'm not on duty tomorrow, so I can take you to find him. But my grandfather has a lot of rules, so try to be careful."

"Okay." Shangguan Qing nodded.

Generally, experienced players who collect antiques have taboos, which are the rules of the industry.

After the work was done, Shangguan Qing and Youxuan stood up and prepared to leave.

Ye Chuzhou called her over, and after some hesitation, he asked tentatively, "Are you... together with Cheng Ji?"

"How do you know?" Shangguan Qing was a little surprised.

"Sure enough..." He guessed it right, "You are a very gentle person now, unlike when I first met you, you were like a hedgehog who loved to prick people."

Loving someone is like growing flowers.

No matter how tough a person is, he will become soft when he is with the person he likes.

Shangguan Qing, who has lived for a thousand years, is no exception.

She smiled shyly, "There were some issues between him and me, but fortunately, they were all resolved."

If it weren't for Mu Cheng, she would have been with Cheng Ji a long time ago.

She suddenly remembered that when they were exercising last night, Cheng Ji asked her if she wanted to be with him.

She was silent for a long time.

Finally he said, "Just keep silent as you agree."

It was at this moment that they were truly together.

Shangguan Qing, "We're leaving first, you continue with your work."

Ye Chuzhou watched her and Youxuan's backs disappear at the door, feeling empty in his heart.

"It's a pity that such a good girl belongs to someone else." He shook his head with a wry smile.

......

After she and Youxuan returned to the antique shop in the afternoon, she sat at the front desk and played with her cell phone.

The software is filled with various short skits about a domineering president falling in love with me.

Just then, Cheng Ji suddenly walked in.

He was holding his ID in his hand, looking exhausted and excited.

I sat down, poured myself a cup of tea, and calmed myself down.

"Did you win the lottery? You're in such a good mood." Her eyes widened.

Cheng Ji raised his hand, motioning her not to speak, and then he placed the ID card in his hand on the coffee table.

"Let's get married, Shangguan Qing." Cheng Ji said solemnly, his expression couldn't be more serious.

“Tick!”

“Tick!”

“Tick!”

Time was so quiet that only the sound of the gears turning on the wall clock and the sound of waves rolling in waves.

quiet.

It was so quiet that she could hear her own heartbeat.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

It hit the chest powerfully, as if trying to break free and rush out of the body.

Before, she took the initiative to ask him to be with her, and her mood was as calm as a pool of stagnant water.

And now...

It was a tension and excitement that made even breathing hot.

"Have you made up your mind?" Shangguan Qing asked seriously, "Didn't you say you never thought about getting married? Are you sure you want to be with me?"

He had thought about this question many times before coming here.

"I know I have a lonely star, and I have been struggling for a long time." He looked at her sincerely, "But I want to fight for myself once. I have deceived myself many times and escaped many times, but I can't convince myself that I don't like you."

He couldn't help but care when he saw her getting along with other men.

So he wanted to muster up the courage to try it once.

The next second, Cheng Ji took out a diamond ring from his pocket and placed it in his palm.

"If you don't want to, I understand. I respect you no matter what choice you make."

After saying this, he raised his eyes and looked at Shangguan Qing with clear and sincere eyes.

When someone who is afraid of getting too close to others is suddenly willing to break his principles for you, no one can resist the emotion.

Shangguan Qing walked over slowly, bent down, took the ring from his hand, and put it on his own hand.

"The ring is just the right size." She smiled, like a spring breeze, "Since the ring fits so well, I will reluctantly agree to it."

She repeatedly admired the ring on her ring finger, the cut surface of the brick and stone gleaming.

It looks very nice and I like it very much because it was a gift from him.

Shangguan Qing looked at him with a proud look in his eyes, "No matter how powerful your Lonely Star is, it is useless to me, so how can this not be considered destiny?"

Anyone who stays with him runs the risk of being killed, but she, Shangguan Qing, is an exception.

"Why? How do you know it's useless to you?" He became curious about what she said.

The star of loneliness had been bothering him since he was a child, and no one had ever said categorically that it was of no use to them.

Shangguan Qing was the first one.

This question was asked to her.

She rolled her eyes and forced a fake smile, "Maybe it's because I was born tough."

......

The two struck while the iron was hot and took their identity documents to get the certificate before the Civil Affairs Bureau closed.

Walking out of the Civil Affairs Bureau, Cheng Ji held the two red books and couldn't let go.

"I'm actually getting married!" He himself couldn't believe it. "I'm a person with few relatives, but I'm actually getting married."

A person that everyone is afraid to approach actually has a significant other to spend their life with.

Shangguan Qing, who was standing next to him, had the same idea.

She, an empty shell without any memories, actually married an ordinary human being.

Shangguan Qing's expression suddenly became serious. "Cheng Ji, if one day you find that I am different from you, will you choose to leave?"

"How different?" he asked.

She thought about it, "The difference between life and death, the difference between heaven and earth."

The difference between humans living for just a few decades and still existing in the world for thousands of years after their death.

The topic was suddenly brought up to a very wide topic, and Cheng Ji didn't know how to answer for a moment.

"At least now the process is happy and blissful. Is the ending so important?"

He was asking Shangguan Qing, but also asking himself.

"The only unchanging ending is separation. Whether it is parents, friends, or partners, they are destined to separate in the end because there is a boundary between life and death, so I choose to enjoy the process."

Shangguan Qing sighed, "He is worthy of being the man I chose."

Live transparently and charmingly.

......

In the evening, Cheng Ji sent Shangguan Qing back to the antique shop, and then drove to Cheng Group.

Shangguan Qing pushed open the shop door and found that Yu Hai was not there.

“Where is this point?”

She walked to the inner utility room and looked around, but there was no one there.

With a wave of his hand, the dungeon door appeared on the wall.

Shangguan Qing opened the door and walked down.

A damp and gloomy air that had not seen sunlight for years hit me in the face, along with a musty smell mixed with rotting things.

Xu Muzhi leaned in the corner, looking disheveled and listless.

Shangguan Qing walked coldly to the iron cage and squatted down, "You can leave now."

Xu Muzhi slowly opened his eyes and sneered, "Oh, you don't have much ability. I said he would definitely come to save me."

Her confident tone showed her pride everywhere.

"He's dead, Mu Cheng is dead." She said calmly, "He never even mentioned you in front of me, let alone saved you."

"Impossible!" Xu Muzhi suddenly became emotional, rushed over and grabbed the iron cage tightly.

She retorted with her eyes wide open, "He is such a powerful man, how could he die just like that! What's more, he said that if this matter is done, he will give me a status..."

The sweet words he said to her are still fresh in her mind, every word clear.

Her eyes were red as she let the memories wash over her brain and sat on the ground in a daze.

"He has been treating you as a pawn from the beginning to the end, and you are still pretending to be stupid?" Shangguan Qing wanted to wake her up with a stick.

"If he cared about you, why would he not come to see you for such a long time? The most terrible thing is to deceive oneself."

She threw down the key to the cage and said, "Open it yourself. Think about what you want to do in the future. I can help you start over. It's better to rely on yourself than on a man."

Xu Muzhi huddled in the corner with his elbows around his knees.

She stared at the iron key on the ground, tears streaming down her face, and looked dazed.

I don't want to believe what Shangguan Qing said.

"I'm going up first, think about it yourself." She gave Xu Muzhi one last piece of advice before leaving, "Be yourself, don't be someone else's shadow."
