My Wife is My Life! Chapter 291

At 5 in the afternoon, Chen Shuyi invited both of them for dinner at the beach.
The weather had been pretty good for the past couple of days with the sun shining high up in the sky. When evening came, the sky was bathed in hues of the orange sunset. Majestic rosy clouds streaked across the skies, turning everything into a gorgeous symphony of colors.
With one look you could tell the area had been decorated prior. Fresh flowers and wine had been placed on the long table. There was also a flower arch set up a distance away from the waves. At one side, a bonfire roared, making crackling noises in the sea breeze.
The program crew’s cameramen and staff surrounded the whole area.
As Ji Qingqing strolled along the backdrop of the sunset, her hair billowed in the night breeze. She gazed at the gorgeous sunset and let out a heartfelt sigh. “How beautiful…”
Ji Qingqing was so engrossed in admiring the sunset that she nearly tripped on a rock blocking her path. Lu Lixing gripped her hand and supported her.
“Be careful.”
Ji Qingqing smiled. “Thank you.”
Lu Lixing brought her to the long table. Being the gentleman, he pulled the chair out to let Ji Qingqing sit down.
“Where are President Chen and Sister Lin Zhen? Why haven’t they arrived yet?”
Lu Lixing glanced at his phone. “They’ll be here soon.”
Ji Qingqing nodded. Her gaze wandered around the area. The fresh flower arch was so prominent that she couldn’t help but stare at it for a long time.

The entire setup was practically like a proposal set. Anyone could guess what it was right away. But still, hadn’t Chen Shuyi and Sister Lin Zhen been married for so many years already?
While she was deep in thought, Chen Shuyi had walked in with Lin Zhen who was blindfolded with a ribbon. He held her hand as they carefully made their way over. While he did this, he faced the audience around him and signaled for them to quiet down.
“Where are you exactly bringing me to? You’re acting so mysterious…”
“Be patient. You’ll know soon.”
Chen Shuyi brought Lin Zhen to the flower arch. He told Lin Zhen to close her eyes and removed her blindfold.
Lu Lixing and Ji Qingqing both stood up. They were standing some distance away from the other couple. While they did that, the cameraman aimed the camera at Chen Shuyi and Lin Zhen.
“Close your eyes.”
Lin Zhen closed her eyes.
“Zhenzhen, five years ago when you married me, I had just gone bankrupt. I promised to give you a car and a house, but in the end, I had nothing left. When I held the ring to propose to you, I considered letting you go so that you wouldn’t be held back and suffer with me in this life. But instead, you just directly took the ring from my pocket and wore it. Just like that, the proposal that I meticulously prepared fell apart. Even though we’re already married, I still owe you a proposal. And today, I wish to make it up to you.”
When he finished his speech, Chen Shuyi paused and took out the ring box. He got down on one knee and opened the box.
“Zhenzhen, thank you for these couple of years. You were willing to be with me who was poor and had nothing back then. Also, thank you for being with me through tough times, for running about busily, and for accompanying me through hardships. Will you give me a chance to take care of you for the rest of your life?”
Lin Zhen opened her eyes and saw the blue sapphire ring in front of her. Her stunned gaze drifted from the blue sapphire ring, then to Chen Shuyi, before lingering at that flower arch.

“You…” Lin Zhen choked. She was unable to speak.
“Zhenzhen, will you trust me one more time? This time, I definitely won’t let you experience any hardship or shed a single tear.”
The streak of sunset in the sky was extremely beautiful.
Chen Shuyi’s ardent words floated in the wind and entered the ears of everyone present.
Lin Zhen looked at him and smiled. After that moment of surprise, she held out her hand. “Aren't you going to put it on for me?”
Chen Shuyi was full of smiles. He took out the blue sapphire ring and put it on Lin Zhen’s ring finger.
A round of applause sounded around them. Chen Shuyi got up and leaned in to kiss Lin Zhen. Under the afterglow of the setting sun, the two of them hugged and kissed passionately as if there was no one around them.
Ji Qingqing was standing in the crowd. When she saw Chen Shuyi take the ring box out, she was baffled. Even so, a glimmer of hope still lingered in her heart. However, after seeing the blue sapphire ring, her hopes were soon dashed.
It turned out that Chen Shuyi had bought that blue sapphire ring for Sister Lin Zhen. She almost made a fool out of herself.
She knew that such an old-fashioned man like Lu Lixing wouldn't be capable of doing something romantic like proposing.
It was her wishful thinking that made her assume things.
Lu Lixing was beside her. He noticed her expression and asked, “What’s the matter?”

Ji Qingqing instantly hid her disappointment and smiled. “It’s nothing, I’m just happy for Sister Lin Zhen.”
Lu Lixing nodded his head contemplatively.
After saying that, she couldn’t help but feel a little envious. “Lin Zhen is so lucky. President Chen is truly a very good man.”
Lu Lixing raised his eyebrows and glanced at Chen Shuyi.
“You’re envious?”
“Which woman wouldn’t be envious of a romantic proposal?” Ji Qingqing rolled her eyes at him.
“You are very knowledgeable,” Ji Qingqing whispered in Lu Lixing’s ear, “Do you know how much that ring costs?”
Since no one’s going out of their way to give anything to her, then she’ll have to buy one for herself!
“26 million RMB.”
“What?!” Ji Qingqing exclaimed. Her exclamation attracted a number of stares from those around her, so she faced them and smiled back sheepishly. Then, she inched closer to Lu Lixing and asked, “How did you know that?”
“I bought it.”
“You bought it?”

Lu Lixing explained, “There was an auction last night and Chen Shuyi asked me to help him get it.”
“Twenty… six million RMB?” Ji Qingqing knew that the ring was expensive and guessed that it would cost a couple of million. At most, she thought it would reach 10 million RMB, but 26 million RMB?! She didn’t even dare to consider it!
Initially, she thought of buying one to wear. But the price would already make her go bankrupt. Who would even be able to afford that?
Ji Qingqing was speechless. “Is President Chen that rich?”
That rich?
Lu Lixing didn’t know what she meant. “26 million RMB is still acceptable.”
Ji Qinqging didn’t want to continue speaking with him any further.
This goddamned bunch of rich people! Money is such an insignificant thing to them!
After this, she’ll definitely work hard on filming and buy a ring for herself!
She won’t expect anything from Lu Lixing. It was impossible for that block of wood to be romantic. Since he’ll never be romantic for the rest of his life, she’ll make do with what she has.
—— “Death warning! Please personally give your fiance Ji Qingqing a wedding proposal so romantic that it would make her cry! If the mission fails, the wedding will become your funeral!”
Lu Lixing’s hand that was about to reach into his pocket to take out the ring box stopped. Afterwards, he quietly withdrew his hand.
