Chapter 675: Gu Jingze’s Romantic ProposalTranslator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
What exactly was this?
She looked around with her hand over her mouth. “Wow. This place… it really looks like the Milky Way.”
Just then, the warm body close to hers had unknowingly moved closer to her.
She did not realize it even when it came into contact with her body.
It was only when she sensed a gentle gaze from beside her that she slowly turned her head around.
Immediately, she saw the man before her with eyes as deep as the starry sky. There was a hint of a smile in his eyes and a gentle warmth more constant than what the Milky Way exuded from them in waves.
His hand had already instinctively moved to her shoulder. He looked at Lin Che with his eyes narrowed sensually as if he was tipsy.
He looked up at Lin Che and said, “I told you earlier that you would regret it.”
The words that came out of his thin lips were ridiculously sensual.
He smiled faintly while looking at her. Against the background of countless lights, he said to her, “Even though you really took it so far, since you know that you were in the wrong and even voluntarily came after me, I’ll reward you.”
“Huh? What?” She looked up at him.
She did not know when a blue velvet box had suddenly appeared in his hands.
She paused for a bit with her eyes fixed on the box.
He opened the box delicately. Inside was a diamond that sparkled even more than the stars. It dazzled brightly under the starlight.
He slowly brought the diamond up and looked at her. “Lin Che, I know that you’ve been under a lot of stress lately. I know that you’re angry with me. I know that it’s my fault for making you go through this stress with me.”
Lin Che’s throat bobbed and a sour feeling made its way up her nose.
Yes. She was under a lot of stress but she had never voiced it.
To be honest, she was not afraid of pressure either. She had been trained since she was young and was able to withstand very high amounts of pressure.
However, she was afraid that there were too many of these incidents, so many that she and Gu Jingze would really break up one day.
Gu Jingze said, “But even so, even if you’re stressed out from being together with me, being second-guessed, being cursed at, and being scolded… I still don’t want to let you go. I don’t want to set you free at all and let you be at ease. On the contrary… I want us to just get married.”
Lin Che seemed like a complete fool as she stood there and watched Gu Jingze lift the ring up.
He gazed at her face and said, “Let’s hold our wedding soon.”
Lin Che looked up. For a moment, she felt that her eyes were heating up and her lips were trembling. “You… Are you… proposing to me right now?”
Gu Jingze said, “No.”
“…”
Seeing as Lin Che was not budging at all, Gu Jingze pulled her hand up directly and put the ring on her finger while saying, “I’m kidnapping you as my bride.”
“…”
What?
Lin Che saw that the ring was already on her ring finger. Although the ring was very light, she, nevertheless, felt that a heavy object suddenly seemed to have been placed on her hand.
Gu Jingze said, “Because I won’t allow you to refuse the ring and I won’t allow you to reject me either.”
Alright. He really was kidnapping her as his bride.
But it was truly a romantic kidnapping. Lin Che lifted her hand to look at the ring that was glittering in gold.
Gu Jingze smiled as he looked down and grabbed her hand. He clasped her hand tightly in his hand along with the ring.
Thereafter, he lowered his head and quickly captured her lips in a kiss.
He was really good at skipping steps. She still had not said, “I do”. She still had not looked up and stood on her tiptoes allowing him to kiss her. However, he had already taken the initiative to kiss her, pressing his lips to hers and roughly prying them open.
Hey, hey, hey. Shouldn’t proposal kisses be light? Why was this kiss deepening more and more, and even continuing for such a long time?
Lin Che only sensed that something was amiss when she heard some strange buzzing sounds from behind her.
She hastily pushed Gu Jingze away and looked up only to see Gu Jingyan and Lu Beichen watching them from behind.
Gu Jingyan looked at the fireflies all around them and then at the couple standing in the middle of all this. Then, she smiled and said, “Second Brother, you can really shock someone to death when you try to be romantic.”
However, Lu Beichen stood at the side with his arms crossed. “Pity that you’re so old-fas.h.i.+oned.”
Gu Jingyan replied, “What do you know? No matter how old-fas.h.i.+oned it is, girls will like it anyway.”
“Ha. Are you telling me that you want a proposal like this too? It’s a pity that you definitely won’t have one in this lifetime since you’re already married to me.”
“I’m married, but I can still marry again in the future.”
“What did you say, Gu Jingyan?” Lu Beichen’s expression changed completely.
Lin Che looked at the two of them speechlessly. Suddenly, she realized that something was amiss. Her eyes widened as she pointed at the two of them. “Hey, you guys didn’t plan this with Gu Jingze way beforehand, right?”
Lu Beichen broke into a sheepish smile. “Well…”
Gu Jingyan said, “Of course. You don’t know Lu Beichen well enough. One billion RMB in capital funds is enough to bribe him. Whatever he said about looking after you like an older brother… they were all just fancy words.”
Lu Beichen glared at Gu Jingyan and said to Lin Che, “My younger sister, I wanted to help you too. For real. I’ve always been on your side. But the thing is, Gu Jingze wanted to propose to you. He said that he wanted to hold a wedding with you, so I had no choice but to help him. I was being considerate of you. You were just trying to be a little difficult anyway. You weren’t really planning to divorce him.”
Fine. He was really unreliable.
Gu Jingze put his arm around Lin Che, looked down, and said, “See? Now, you know that you can’t believe any other man except me in the future.”
Lu Beichen said, “You’re the one she shouldn’t trust. Look at how well you acted earlier. You seemed genuinely angry and were throwing a tantrum like a child. I was so surprised that I thought you were really being difficult, but in the end… it was all to trick Lin Che into approaching you.”
“All is fair in love and war,” Gu Jingze said nonchalantly with his eyebrows raised.
Gu Jingyan said, “Alright. Since we’re done here, can you bring back some of these fireflies for me?”
Ah, right. There were still many fireflies.
Lin Che looked at the fireflies. “Wow. Where did you get so many fireflies?”
Gu Jingze replied, “We caught them. Come on, let’s go have some barbecue.”
“Oh, oh. Okay.”
Lu Beichen shook his head and told Gu Jingyan, “Look. I was helping Lin Che by doing this. At the very least, she has successfully gotten through a day. If not for my help, of course, she would not match Gu Jingze’s intelligence.”
Gu Jingyan asked, “What?”
“Did you think that we caught the fireflies? There are so many. There must be at least a few thousand fireflies. How could we have possibly caught them? We paid a high price to have them s.h.i.+pped over. We even had them s.h.i.+pped here from the far south only today. Do you really think this is romantic? We were totally burning a hole in our wallets.”
“…”
Sure enough, people found out about the proposal that night.
Someone directly commented on WeChat, “Gu Jingze spent a lot of money buying so many fireflies. I heard that it was to create a romantic setting for Lin Che.”
“Wow. Fireflies. It sounds so romantic… Gu Jingze treats her so well…”
