Chapter 176 Husband and Wife
A drone with lights rose into the night sky.
Thousands.
It solidified into the shape of a sugar cube ring.
Combined into a clear sentence: "Yinyin, will you marry me?"
Shi Yin was drawn to the light and raised her moistened eyes to look. Before she could take a closer look, the LED screens lighting up the city like fireflies, millions of lights converging. Billboards in subways and bus stations, electronic horizontal screens on the tops of taxis, and giant screens on the rooftops of buildings all projected the same proposal.
This night.
Everyone in the capital knew that someone was proposing marriage.
I know the heroine’s name is Yin Yin.
Entertainment media frantically grabbed facts and images to grab headlines. Online posts were constantly refreshed, with tens of thousands of comments popping up in seconds, and everyone was watching, including those in the upper class.
…
The moment the blue fireworks took off, An Leyao ran to the window in surprise. She watched for a long time, then saw An Yan, who had changed into a toast dress, coming out of the lounge. She hurried over and said, "Sister, there are fireworks outside. Are they prepared by your brother-in-law?"
Smoking bans have been in place for many years.
Large-scale fireworks displays are not only expensive, but also require connections to obtain permits. Looking across the entire Beijing community, few can afford such a large-scale display. Furthermore, today is the auspicious day for the Han and An families to marry, so it's natural to assume that the fireworks display was prepared by the groom, Han Zheng, for the bride, An Yan.
An Yan looked up when she heard the voice.
Take in the beautiful fireworks.
The corners of her lips curved slightly, but she pretended to be dignified and elegant like a young lady, suppressing the pride in her heart and said, "A Zheng just likes to play with these little things, and he didn't even tell me in advance."
"Is this too small, sister? A cloud of fireworks filled up almost the entire night sky. Such high-quality, yet difficult-to-preserve blue fireworks must be incredibly expensive. This fireworks show alone could probably buy you an apartment downtown."
"I'll talk about Ah Zheng later. You're such a grown-up, but you're still as extravagant as a child."
"Sister, this is a surprise! How can it be a waste? Today is your wedding, it's only natural for him to prepare this fireworks show. Don't always think about him and save money for him."
An Leyao complained.
An Yan remained silent.
The smile between his eyebrows grew deeper.
She took out her phone, pointed it at the night sky, and took a picture of the blooming flames. An's mother knocked on the door, reminding An Yan to go to the main hall of the banquet to toast the guests.
The magnificent hall was bustling with people.
Everyone had a great conversation.
This wedding was more like a large-scale business negotiation. No one cared about the bride's attire; they only cared about whether their contracts could be negotiated and whether they could sign the orders. Everyone politely responded to An Yan's toast and then went back to their own business.
It took me more than half an hour.
An Yan's face froze with smile.
She glanced at Han Zheng, who was surrounded by the crowd and was familiar with the people from various major families. The man showed no concern for her and did not even glance at her. An Yan's eyes were slightly cold, and her expression was about to fall when she heard several wealthy ladies calling her, "Congratulations on your wedding, Miss An!"
She turned her head.
His face was full of smiles again.
An Yan took another glass of wine and walked towards the rich ladies who were talking.
"Boss Han is a rare talent, and he and Miss An are a perfect match."
"You're too kind, Mrs. Lin."
"Although it was arranged by their parents, I see that Mr. Han and Miss An are very much in love. There were fireworks outside for nearly half an hour, and I heard that they were all prepared by Mr. Han for Miss An. Mr. Han is so thoughtful and considerate, and Miss An will have more blessings in the future."
An Yan smiled.
I looked at the fireworks outside the window again.
Her face tonight depends entirely on these fireworks.
Fortunately, Han Zheng still had some conscience, otherwise she wouldn't know how to force a smile and finish the banquet.
"Miss An, can I ask which manufacturer you ordered these blue fireworks from? They're so beautiful, a visual feast. I'm thinking of asking my old man to order them for my birthday next month."
"I'm sorry, Mrs. Li, these fireworks were ordered privately by Ah Zheng for me. I'll ask him later and let you know."
"etc!"
"There are drones in the night sky."
"Boss Han has added a new romance?"
"We are all blessed by Miss An. It's a feast for the eyes."
Amidst countless words of envy and flattery, An Yan remained calm, her brows furrowed. In a good mood, she ordered the waiter to open a few bottles of diamond-encrusted champagne. Shortly after the waiter left, a frantic An Leyao ran over from nowhere, nearly knocking An Yan over.
"What are you doing, Leyao? You look so anxious."
"I'm sorry, sister." An Leyao quickly supported her. After she stood firmly, she said breathlessly: "Sister, look at the drone outside, it-"
"I know, it was prepared by A Zheng."
"No, sister! The drones formed patterns and words. It's Shi Yin!"
An Yan was stunned.
An invisible rolling thunder fell from the sky.
Hit her head.
The woman's face stiffened uncontrollably. Even her delicate bridal makeup couldn't hide her pale face. An Yan forced a smile, her lip muscles twitching slightly. "Are you kidding?"
"Look, sis!"
An Leyao pulled her back two steps.
Through the distant window.
The huge ring pattern in the air, along with the string of words, caught her eye. The surrounding people's discussions seemed to increase a hundredfold, all drilling into her ears:
"Why is it Yinyin?"
"I remember Miss An's name was An Yan."
"What else could it be? This blue fireworks and drone show that lasted for over half an hour wasn't something Han Zheng prepared for An Yan. It was someone else proposing to this girl called Yin Yin."
"I just asked An Yan where these fireworks were ordered, and she said she didn't know and wanted to ask Han Zheng. It turns out it's not that she doesn't know, but that these fireworks weren't meant for her at all."
Everyone laughed continuously.
An Yan clenched her hands tightly at her sides.
The waiter approached, and before he could even utter the words "Miss An," he was met with An Yan's cold, sword-like gaze. He lowered his head, not daring to speak. An Yan glanced at the champagne he was holding, feeling increasingly suffocated. In the darkness, where no one could see, her crimson eyes darkened, as if they could drip blood.
…
At that time.
On the deserted corridor.
Shi Yin was breathless from Han Zhan's kiss. She opened the door and he pressed her against it. There was no light in the room, and his breath was hot, and it felt like an indescribable tingle on her face.
His kiss fell on her ear.
Kiss her neck.
Shi Yin instinctively tilted her neck back. The rising temperature in the room made both of them feel a little hot. She touched his burning earlobes, her white fingers caressing his face. When she opened her eyes, she met Han Zhan's deep gaze in the dark night. Unlike his usual gentle demeanor, he was now extremely aggressive, teetering on the edge between sanity and insanity.
Shi Yin pursed her lips.
I took a few deep breaths of air in the space he gave me.
Stand on tiptoe.
She put her arms around his neck and kissed him on the lips. With her silent consent, Han Zhan immediately took back control, kissing her deeply while his hand around her waist untied the thin chain of her skirt.
