"An engagement ring?"
Song Ziqing asked the question instinctively.
She immediately regretted asking the question.
She felt that Lin Chengyu was definitely laughing at her, thinking that she was too eager to propose to him.
This time, Lin Chengyu opened the jewelry box in his hand, but instead of the ring that Song Ziqing had expected, he found a silver bracelet inlaid with jade.
He looked at Song Ziqing and explained, "Qingqing, this is what my grandmother left me, asking me to give it to her future granddaughter-in-law. This silver bracelet is the only dowry my grandmother kept, which she passed down to me, and now I'm giving it to you. If you accept this gift today, it means you agree to be my wife!"
"You...you want me to pity you and force me to accept your proposal?!"
Song Ziqing had always thought there was a ring inside the jewelry box, but now that she discovered it was a bracelet with sentimental value, she felt that Lin Chengyu still valued her very much.
"Do you feel sorry for me? Do you pity me? In my past life, I was always all alone. What I always longed for was very simple: to have a home, with you and me, where we would never be apart!"
Lin Chengyu admits that he is very selfish, but when it comes to Song Ziqing, he wants to be selfish forever, to keep her by his side for a lifetime, for her to belong to him forever.
Of course, he belongs to her too.
Song Ziqing had long noticed that although Lin Chengyu was smiling, he was still sad and nostalgic when he mentioned his grandmother. Perhaps the happiest time of his life was when his grandparents were still alive.
Looking at him, she was reminded of herself. In truth, she was just one person in this world. Two lonely people forming a family should be a happy thing, right?
Thinking of this, she didn't hesitate this time and nodded in agreement: "I agree to marry you! Xiaoyu, from now on we will be the two closest people in the world. You can't betray me or bully me! When others bully me, you must help me. From now on, you can only trust me and only look at me! Also, all the money you earn in the future will belong to me! If you ever bully me, you will lose everything!"
"Okay, okay, okay, I promise you. As long as you agree to marry me, I'll listen to you in everything, and you'll be in charge of our family! I can even sign a prenuptial agreement that if I ever wrong you, I'll not only leave with nothing, but I'll also be your slave for life!"
Lin Chengyu was so excited at the thought that he would soon be able to become a family with Song Ziqing that he looked at her with such intense longing that he leaned down and hugged her as they fell onto the sofa.
His lips gently pressed against her luscious red lips, and that familiar yet unfamiliar scent rushed towards him.
At first, the lips were cool as they were pressed against her own lip print. Song Ziqing felt her lips and even her whole body heat up, as if she were burning up and feeling dizzy.
Especially when she saw Lin Chengyu looking at her with such deep affection in his eyes, she was also immersed in his emotional vortex, unable to extricate herself.
At some point, Lin Chengyu's tongue pried open her teeth, found the tip of her tongue, and began a tongue-and-lip dance with hers.
He kissed her lips for a while, then leaned down and kissed her ear. When he touched her earlobe, her whole body trembled and went limp. He felt as if he had discovered a new continent, realizing that her weakness lay in her earlobe.
His lips lingered on either side of her earrings, making her feel restless all over.
She had no choice but to push him away forcefully with both hands, and let out a scolding voice: "You, you get up right now!"
Lin Chengyu realized that Song Ziqing was about to get angry, so he quickly stopped what he was doing, pulled her up from the sofa, and hugged her in his arms like a baby.
He took a few deep breaths before carrying her back to her room, placing her on the bed, and leaning down to kiss her forehead again. Looking at her tenderly, he said, "Go to sleep. I'll watch you sleep. Once you're asleep, I'll obediently go back to my room."
Seeing that he didn't continue being intimate with her, Song Ziqing relaxed, and before long, she fell asleep under his gaze.
She felt that with him by her side, her sleep improved.
Having slept without a dream, Song Ziqing woke up to find herself lying in Lin Chengyu's arms.
She looked puzzled, then angrily asked, "Lin Chengyu, didn't you say last night that you would go back to your room?"
Lin Chengyu also had a good night's sleep. When he woke up, he found his beloved lying in his arms. He was overjoyed and didn't dare to turn around. He quietly looked at her for an hour.
He pretended to be asleep until she woke up, just to see how she would react when she woke up and found out he hadn't gone back to his room.
Seeing her furious expression, Lin Chengyu was overjoyed and immediately picked her up, giving her a big kiss on the cheek. "Wife, you're my wife! How could I, as your husband, possibly live without you?! You agreed to my proposal last night, so let's go get our marriage certificate today!"
"You proposed yesterday, and you're getting your marriage certificate today? Aren't you being a bit too hasty?!"
Song Ziqing really didn't expect this person to be in such a hurry.
She has always been a laid-back person, and she really can't stand his impatient nature for the time being.
"Honey, don't worry. I checked the calendar yesterday, and today is an auspicious day, a lucky day, a perfect day for our wedding!"
Lin Chengyu was well aware that people are prone to laziness. If they didn't strike while the iron was hot, the girl would regret it once she calmed down. So, after having breakfast at the hotel, the two of them asked the hotel car to take them to get their marriage certificate.
When we got back to the hotel, it was still very early.
Manager Zhang from HSBC had heard from Manager Li at the hotel that the two had actually gotten their marriage certificate early that morning, so he quickly went up to congratulate them.
"Mr. and Mrs. Lin, congratulations! Happy wedding! You must invite me to your wedding banquet!"
Manager Li is the hotel lobby manager, and he is usually very good at dealing with people. When it comes to adding the finishing touches, he doesn't want to fall behind.
To outsiders, Manager Zhang may seem very impressive, but in essence, he is just an ordinary worker.
He was just a junior manager at HSBC, but he was very good at reading people's expressions: "Mr. and Mrs. Lin, congratulations on your marriage! You have to invite me to your wedding banquet too!"
