Names mentioned in this chapter :
-苏芮 (sù ruì) - Su Rui, our female protagonist
-顾煜城 (gù yù chéng)- Gu Yu Cheng, the male lead
Su Rui: !
Hearing Gu Yu Cheng's words, Su Rui's heart stopped for a moment.
A man may say these kinds of statements like "I like you" or "I love you", but these kinds of words do not cost anything and could also regulate each other's hormone and dopamine secretion.
But if a man says he wants you to be his wife, that means something completely different.
Su Rui was still somewhat rejoicing now.
Fortunately, she had just covered Gu Yu Cheng's eyes. Otherwise, with the emotions that were swirling in Gu Yu Cheng's eyes, she would have already become enchanted.
Actually, Gu Yu Cheng is no different.
After living for 27 years, Chairman Gu, who has always been decisive, straightforward, and never hesitated about what to say or do, felt so nervous, impatient and ill at ease for the first time when facing the girl he likes.
However, there is no denying that Gu Yu Cheng's words at this moment makes one's heart flutter.
Being a few centimetres apart, Su Rui seemed to be able to hear Gu Yu Cheng's heart beat, and of course, her own as well.
Originally, Su Rui thought that this quiet, heart-throbbing moment that makes one feel moved would last for a while.
But, it was shattered by Gu Yu Cheng's realistic and down-to-earth words.
"Rest assured, our marriage won't affect your studies," said Gu Yu Cheng. After a pause, he added, "the official wedding ceremony can be done after you have graduated. Before that, we can get engaged first."
As for the engagement, Gu Yu Cheng and Mrs. Gu had previously discussed this.
On this point, the two of them are on the same thought.
Even though Gu Yu Cheng previously said that he hopes to get married at the age of 29, it seems that he can't wait any longer now.
He wants to make this woman his own and has thought about it all the time.
"For the engagement, you can either choose to have it high-profile or low-profile." Gu Yu CHeng said again to Su Rui in a gentle voice.
"If you don't want it to be too tiring, it's fine to make the engagement party a private event and we'll only invite family and friends to be present."
Gu Yu Cheng's words were too realistic and direct, so much so that when she heard his words, Su Rui's mind immediately pictured the two of them getting engaged.
"Pft. Haha...."
In the end, Su Rui was so amused by Gu Yu Cheng's serious and down-to-earth attitude that she couldn't control herself and burst out laughing.
She removed the hand that covered Gu Yu Cheng's eyes. When their eyes met one another, Su Rui slightly batted her eyelashes towards him.
"So Chairman Gu, are you proposing right now?" Su Rui asked Gu Yu Cheng with a smile on her lips.
When Gu Yu Cheng heard that, his eyes first moved and then the corner of his mouths lifted as well.
"Yes," Gu Yu Cheng replied without any hesitation.
Looking at the brilliant smile in Su Rui's eyes, at this moment, Gu Yu Cheng seemed to be pacified and the original worry in his heart was instantly calmed down quite a bit.
"Then," grabbing Su Rui's hands and placing a gentle kiss on the back of it, Gu Yu Cheng asked again, "Will you agree to my marriage proposal?"
Gu Yu Cheng's tone was still full of uncertainty and unruly anticipation.
In fact, Gu Yu Cheng has plans for not just an engagement.
He also hopes to bring this woman in front of him to the Civil Affairs Bureau.
But, Gu Yu Cheng decided to temporarily not tell her this.
It's really a marriage proposal!
Su Rui's eyes suddenly shimmered as she looked at Gu Yu Cheng.
Even though the proposal was nothing like a planned atmosphere nor romantic like those scenes in novels or movies, isn't this still a serious proposal?
This was the first time someone proposed to her and it was from someone she liked.
If it wasn't for the lack of props at hand, Su Rui would have tried to record the current scene.
This is so that she could keep it and reminisce about it in the future.
After calming the excitement in her heart, Su Rui smiled gently towards Gu Yu Cheng and replied in a light and crisp tone, without any hesitation nor a hint of jesting, "Sure."
"If you..."
Almost at the same time as Su Rui agreed, Gu Yu Cheng also spoke.
Originally, Gu Yu Cheng had wanted to say, 'if you're not ready, I can wait.'
Even though Su Rui often gives Gu Yu Cheng the feeling of an intelligent and thoughtful person, since she is only 20 years old, it is a bit early to talk about marriage at such an age.
Gu Yu Cheng did not want to put too much pressure on Su Rui.
He just never expected to hear "sure".
For an instant, Gu Yu Cheng's eyes slightly widened and he looked at Su Rui with surprise and a hint of astonishment.
"Did you just say..."
Su Rui raised her hand and took the initiative to wrap it around Gu Yu Cheng's neck. She looked at him with a smile on her face and gently but seriously said, "I said 'sure'."
Why not?
It is not easy to meet someone who has a great career, personality, family, ability... In short, an all-around exceptional person.
It's even harder to meet someone who shares the same outlook on life and values.
Most importantly, this person is also someone she likes and he likes her too.
To Su Rui, this has been a great blessing in her life.
To put it more plainly, you may not have this store after crossing over this village.
From the very beginning of them going on a blind date, and then the dating that happened afterwards, it was all with the intention of getting married.
So, at this moment, in the face of Gu Yu Cheng's sudden marriage proposal, even though Su Rui was a little taken aback, she never disliked that idea of entering into a marriage with Gu Yu Cheng and starting a family together.
And there isn't anything to be hesitant about.
Although the relationship between them was not long, time is not necessarily a factor in measuring one's relationship.
Some people have known each other for more than a decade and may still be suspicious of each other.
For Su Rui and Gu Yu Cheng, it is more like they met the right person and then it all worked out.
"I will... Mm..."
I will work hard to learn how to manage a marriage, be a qualified fiancée and even as a wife.
Originally, Su Rui wanted to say such.
But, as soon as she was about to speak, she was interrupted by Gu Yu Cheng's kiss.
"Yu Cheng, enough... "
When the kiss ended and she felt that he was going to continue kissing, Su Rui interrupted Gu Yu Cheng even though she could not bear to do so.
The two of them were in a state where they were literally on the edge of a Ferrari for the umpteenth time.
Su Rui really believes that if they continue to kiss like this, her lips will be too swollen to meet anyone tomorrow.
Moreover, Gu Yu Cheng is also...
"Don't be like what happened before," Su Rui's face slightly heated up as she looked at Gu Yu Cheng and reminded him.
"Like what?" Gu Yu Cheng's eyes flashed with a touch of amusement, and deliberately asked as he looked at Su Rui.
"Gu Yu Cheng!"
Looking at Su Rui's appearance at this moment, Gu Yu Cheng couldn't help but laugh.
"I am just too exhilarated," gently hugging Su Rui into his arms, Gu Yu Cheng whispered in Su Rui's ears.
"Mrs Gu," Gu Yu Cheng called out this title and even he couldn't help but have a smile in his eyes.
"Don't call me that. I am not your wife yet."
"Soon." Kissing Su Rui on her cheek, Gu Yu Cheng couldn't hide the joy in his eyes and said, "I will practise saying it first."
"You can also practise it first."
"Call me."
Su Rui: I can't say it out loud...
But at this time, the ringing of a mobile phone startled Gu Yu Cheng and Su Rui.
Usually when the phone rings, Su Rui would listen till the second verse and still wouldn't be as flustered. Somehow, this time, Su Rui was panicking when she suddenly heard the phone ringing.
"Yu Cheng, loosen your grip a little."
Su Rui pushed Gu Yu Cheng, trying to get the other person to let go of her a little.
At the same time, she also stretched her arms out to the bag beside her that has her cell phone in it .
He heard her, but still did not let go of her.
"Call them back later," Gu Yu Cheng said in Su Rui's ear.
Currently, the man has regained the calm and collected composure of Chairman Gu.
"I can't. It's my mum," Su Rui took out her phone, looked at the incoming notification and said.
