But what could it be?
Su Xiaoman herself didn't know, so how could she possibly know?
"It doesn't matter. Even if he knew, it would just be another piece of evidence against him." Gong Chengjue was not affected at all. What he cared about most at the moment was seeing Su Ziqing trying so hard to stay awake.
Su Ziqing knew that thinking too much was useless, and probably because of the medicine, she was really sleepy. She closed her eyes and fell asleep in no time.
…………………………
The weather was overcast, which is perfect for going out to sea in the summer.
Standing on the yacht, Su Ziqing closed her eyes, opened her arms, and enjoyed this moment of leisure. With the sea breeze blowing, all her troubles from yesterday vanished.
Suddenly, a tightening sensation came from her waist. Su Ziqing opened her eyes and turned to look at Gong Chengjue, who had finished his phone call.
Gong Chengjue kissed her forehead gently. "What are you thinking about?"
"I wasn't thinking about anything." She really wasn't thinking about anything. When you come out to have fun, you're just having fun. Why would you come with something on your mind?
Let's talk about Su Xiaoman's matter from last night when we get back.
“I haven’t had a break for months.” Su Ziqing looked at Gong Chengjue with a somewhat resentful gaze. “Work really takes up all my time.”
"If you're willing, in the future..." Before Gong Chengjue could finish speaking, Su Ziqing bluntly rejected him, saying, "Although it's tiring, it's also very fulfilling."
So, don't say things like "I'll take care of you," okay?
Gong Chengjue wisely refrained from saying anything more; simply holding her like this, enjoying the cool sea breeze, was already quite comfortable.
Not far away, the outline of the island could already be seen. Su Ziqing pointed to the island in front of her and said, "We'll stay there tonight."
There's an island in the sea here, usually used by wealthy young men for leisure and vacations. Su Ziqing made a reservation there a few days ago.
Gong Chengjue was slightly surprised, "You want to stay overnight?"
Su Ziqing turned her head to look at him, "Hmm?" Is there a problem? You said you were taking two days off.
"I heard that you need to book in advance..." And because the rooms are limited, it would be a bit difficult for someone of his status to check in at the last minute.
Su Ziqing didn't know if he was really pretending to be stupid or not, but she just went along with what he said, "I've already made the reservation in advance."
She felt the pressure around her waist tighten after she said those words, and a warm sensation near her ear. She heard him whisper, "So, you weren't indifferent to my vacation, were you?"
She booked the room a few days ago, didn't she?!
Gong Chengjue couldn't help but smile.
She's just saying one thing and meaning another!
Su Ziqing said with a serious face, "What are you thinking? I originally planned to play here with Ziqi."
"Oh, is that so?" He wouldn't believe it.
Given how busy she is with work right now, is it even possible for her to go on vacation with Luo Ziqi?
Sensing the skepticism in his words, Su Ziqing couldn't help but explain again, "Really, we also invited other celebrities. You know celebrities attract a lot of attention, and we can easily solve this problem on the island."
"Okay, I understand. I just happened to be staying here, you don't need to explain." She was the epitome of someone who was only making things worse by trying to hide something, and the more she explained, the more guilty she seemed.
Su Ziqing felt him hug her even tighter, his lips almost touching her ear. Her face flushed slightly, and she quickly changed the subject, "Was that a call from the capital just now?"
Gong Chengjue nodded in agreement. The investigation team's nearly week-long investigation had yielded significant results.
Within the family, having a review panel is like a divine intervention.
His voice rose slightly as he couldn't help but say, "I'm going back to the capital the day after tomorrow. There should be some big moves going on."
"Is it dangerous?" Upon hearing the words "big action," Su Ziqing's mind immediately conjured up vivid images, fearing that some life-or-death scene might unfold.
Gong Chengjue affectionately pinched her nose. "It's not dangerous."
"That……"
"We're here to have fun, let's not talk about these things, okay?" He didn't want to ruin this rare moment of leisure.
All he wanted to do right now was to feel the sea breeze with her, listen to each other's heartbeats, and of course, it would be even more perfect if they could cuddle up together and exchange a few words of love.
Su Ziqing turned slightly to face Gong Chengjue directly; his hand was still on her waist.
Her waist was resting on his hand, gently against the railing. The two faced each other, their breaths almost mingling intimately.
As the yacht rocked, she threw herself into his arms. She tried to struggle to stand, but he held her tightly, refusing to let go.
“Gong Chengjue…” The words were lost in the silence.
Ripples spread across the sea, like the most beautiful backdrop.
After a long while, Gong Chengjue finally released her, but his hand still lingered around her waist, his eyes filled with tenderness. "Ziqing, will you be my wife?"
Su Ziqing stared at him intently; there was not a trace of a joke in his eyes.
But……
"Gong Chengjue, are you proposing?" Hey, he hasn't even been officially recognized as her boyfriend yet, and he's already skipping the normal steps and wants to propose?!
Also, there's nothing here except the vast ocean...
Su Ziqing felt that this man needed to learn a thing or two.
Gong Chengjue realized after he spoke that it seemed a bit too casual, but he had proposed without thinking because he was so deeply in love.
He looked deeply into her eyes and said, "I want to marry you." He wanted to so much.
Su Ziqing pouted, "If it weren't for you, we should be married by now."
It's really frustrating. He and she were initially aiming for an engagement, but every time they talked about it, something unexpected always happened because of this or that.
In the end, it has evolved into the relationship we have now, and we are simply drifting further and further apart.
"I was so foolish before," Gong Chengjue bravely admitted his mistake. "So..."
"Let's try being together first," Su Ziqing said with a slightly haughty tilt of her head.
Gong Chengjue, however, was like a child who had just gotten candy, his eyes full of smiles, "Okay, I'll listen to you."
Su Ziqing, “…” She reacted a beat late, looking at Gong Chengjue, “You set me up!” What proposal! It was just confirming their relationship.
Gong Chengjue, however, seemed terrified that she might change her mind, and held her tightly, saying, "No, and you can't go back on your word."
Sigh, it wasn't easy. I can finally reclaim my status as her official boyfriend.
Su Ziqing pushed him away, "You cheated, this doesn't count." What? He didn't lose at all, hmph.
She pushed too hard, and since she was already standing on the edge of the boat, a big wave came crashing in, and in that short time, Su Ziqing lost her balance and fell into the sea...
"Ziqing." Gong Chengjue didn't think twice before jumping down.
