Back at Wang Boyang's house, the two took quick showers and went to their respective rooms to sleep.
Gu Yan lifted the blanket, and a pink T-shirt immediately came into view.
His first thought was that Wang Boyang had a woman.
Instantly, a nameless rage surged from the depths of his heart to his head. Without a word, he stormed into Wang Boyang's room, his face contorted with fury, and demanded, "You have a girlfriend?"
"No, why do you ask that?" Wang Boyang was completely bewildered by this sudden question.
"Go see for yourself," Gu Yan said angrily, turning and walking towards his room.
Wang Boyang followed Gu Yan to his room, full of doubt, and saw that there was indeed a pink short-sleeved shirt under the covers.
Wang Boyang quickly explained, "Hey, this belongs to one of our company's artists."
"Bringing a female celebrity home, you've got some fun, Mr. Wang," Gu Yan said sarcastically, his eyes full of dissatisfaction.
“Here, look at this size, 180. What girl wears size 180? Male celebrities.” Wang Boyang picked up the clothes and pointed to the size tag.
"I'm not sleeping here, it's dirty." Gu Yan said with a look of disgust and his attitude was firm.
"I'll change your sheets," Wang Boyang said helplessly.
"That's dirty too, I'll sleep on the sofa." Gu Yan remained unmoved.
"Do you have OCD?" Wang Boyang asked, somewhat helplessly.
"Yes." Gu Yan answered without hesitation, then lay down on the sofa, acting as if no one could persuade him, which gave Wang Boyang a real headache.
"The sofa is even dirtier. Get up quickly," Wang Boyang said anxiously.
Upon hearing this, Gu Yan jumped up from the sofa and shouted, "I'm going to the hotel."
"Gu Yan, stop messing around." Wang Boyang raised his voice.
Gu Yan turned his head to the side.
"I'll change your sheets. You're sleeping in my room, so you can't possibly think I'm dirty," Wang Boyang said patiently.
Gu Yan kept his head turned away and remained silent.
Wang Boyang sighed and continued, "Gu Yan, don't be so stubborn. It's so late at night, and you're making a mess at the hotel. I promise I'll clean it up for you, okay?"
Gu Yan remained silent for a while before finally agreeing, "Alright then, hurry up."
Wang Boyang quickly got to work, changing the sheets and cleaning the room thoroughly.
"Alright, take a look, are you satisfied?"
Gu Yan walked into the room, looked around, and then reluctantly nodded: "Alright."
Wang Boyang watched Gu Yan lie down, turned off the light for him, and gently closed the door, muttering, "This kid is really hard to please."
The next morning, sunlight streamed into the room through the gaps in the curtains. Gu Yan woke up, went out of the room, and saw Wang Boyang busy preparing breakfast in the kitchen.
Gu Yan walked over and whispered, "Are you cooking, Mr. Wang?"
Wang Boyang said with a smile, "Hurry up and wash up, get ready for breakfast."
The two sat at the dining table, enjoying a cozy breakfast.
Gu Yan's unpleasantness from yesterday vanished without a trace.
He just liked Wang Boyang serving him; that was just right, and that made him feel comfortable.
Wang Boyang was overjoyed; he was content to be friends with Gu Yan like this.
He had always thought this way. The confession was an accident, and now that they could return to being friends and see Gu Yan from time to time, that was already good enough. He would never ask for anything more from now on.
On the other side, when midnight arrives, the hour, minute, and second hands perfectly overlap, and it truly is Li Peiyu's birthday.
The nightclub lights instantly softened and warmed, and the music switched to a cheerful birthday melody. Everyone gathered around, their faces beaming with genuine smiles, and sang "Happy Birthday" to Li Peiyu in unison.
Then, Lu Yuzhi slowly pushed out a beautifully crafted large cake. The candlelight flickered in the darkness, illuminating Li Peiyu's surprised and touched face.
Everyone clapped and cheered. Li Peiyu closed her eyes, put her hands together, and silently made a wish.
Then, she opened her eyes, took a deep breath, and blew out the candle.
Just then, Lu Yuzhi suddenly knelt down on one knee and took out a delicate little box from his pocket.
He gazed at Li Peiyu with deep affection, his eyes filled with love and anticipation.
The people around instantly fell silent, holding their breath and anticipating the romantic moment to come.
Li Peiyu's mind went blank. Lu Yuzhi, is this... is he going to do *that*?
Lu Yuzhi opened the box, and a dazzling diamond ring shone brightly in the candlelight. His voice trembled slightly, but he said with unwavering determination, "My darling, every moment I spend with you is filled with happiness. I want to ask you to marry me, to spend my life by your side, caring for you, giving you the warmest harbor and the strongest support. Will you?"
Li Peiyu covered her mouth in surprise. She looked at the man she loved deeply in front of her—the head of the Lu Group, a powerful and wealthy man in S City, someone no one dared to offend—and knelt on one knee in front of everyone.
"I'm willing, get up quickly."
Upon seeing this, Lu Yuzhi's face lit up with a happy smile. He carefully took out the ring and gently put it on Li Peiyu's finger.
The two then embraced tightly, and the crowd erupted in enthusiastic applause and cheers as everyone offered their blessings for this beautiful moment.
Lu Yu said, "Have fun, everyone. I have to take my wife with me."
After saying that, Lu Yuzhi picked up Li Peiyu without hesitation and strode out amidst the cheers of the crowd.
He carried her all the way to the car and carefully put her down. When they arrived at Qingyun Villa, Lu Yuzhi didn't let Li Peiyu get off the ground, carrying her all the way to the bed.
Lu Yuzhi pressed her down, placed a kiss on her forehead, and whispered, "Was today's proposal a little too simple?" There was a hint of worry in his eyes, afraid that the proposal ceremony had not met her expectations.
“I like it very much. It doesn’t need to be complicated or fancy. Even if it’s just at home, just the two of us, I’m happy.” Li Peiyu wrapped her arms around Lu Yuzhi’s neck, her eyes full of affection and contentment.
"So easily satisfied?" Lu Yuzhi looked at her in disbelief.
"Mmm." Li Peiyu nodded gently, a happy smile on her face.
“I’ve actually thought of a lot of plans, but they all seem too vague. Isn’t it enough to simply express my feelings?” Lu Yuzhi gently stroked Li Peiyu’s hair and asked tenderly.
"Yes," Li Peiyu replied affirmatively.
"Do you remember when we first started out, I asked you what you wanted? You said you wanted all my wealth, and your dream came true. As long as we go to get our marriage certificate tomorrow morning, you'll have everything," Lu Yuzhi said with a smile, his eyes full of doting affection.
"Then I'll set an alarm to go early, so nothing goes wrong." Li Peiyu winked mischievously and took out her phone to set an alarm.
"We'll have the wedding after you graduate."
"Um."
