Chapter 553: Proposal Gone Wrong

Wen Qinxi was the very definition of a man falling deeper into the colourful abyss of love. Growing up he never thought about falling in love. He was always the nonchalant type with the motto if it happens it happens and if it doesn't then that's not the end of the world.

In terms of marriage, he had thought about it but always believed if he didn't fall in love he would find an easy to get along with girl and settle down. This was his attitude all these years that is until he met this man kneeling before him asking for his hand in marriage.

He must have accumulated a lot of merits in his previous life for him to have captured this wonderful man's heart. There were no words to describe how he was feeling right now. There was an overwhelming cocktail of emotions emanating from his heart and like an outbreak, they spread to the rest of his body resulting in that gorgeous smile on his face that reached his eyes.

Of course, he was going to say yes but just as the words came out a sudden shout scared him so much that he jolted and accidentally fell into the pool with a loud splash.

Without a second thought, Qie Ranzhe took off his coat and dove in while the cause of this whole debacle ran to the edge of the pool. They were six people looking down into the pool with the majority of them holding their phones. They meant to record the romantic proposal but who would have thought it would end up as a failed romantic proposal instead.

Wen Qinxi was feeling panicked as his body sank to the bottom of the glass pool which meant he drank a couple of mouthfuls of the icy cold water. Lucky for him he didn't stay in the water for a long time as a powerful hand reached out to pull him up and embrace him as they swam to the surface.

With a loud splash, the two grown men surfaced with Wen Qinxi coughing out some of the water he drank. Qie Ranzhe pulled him out of the water and took off the coat he was wearing. With a sense of panic in his eyes, he asked, "Are you okay?" as Dai Lee handed him towels.

Wen Qinxi coughed a bit with his body trembling from the cold. Qie Ranzhe didn't waste any time carrying him in a princess carry to the apartment but as he reached out under the man's knees, he heard him say, "Yes... yes, I will marry you," with his teeth chattering from the cold.

Qie Ranzhe smiled and picked him up leaving behind the embarrassing jeers from their family members. While the two were in the bathroom together taking a warm bath to shake the cold off, the rest of the crew made themselves at home with Wen Danzhe and Shao Lan serving the ladies some hot beverages.

Wen Danzhe placed the tray on the table as he calmly endured his mother's incessant scolding as he was the one who had scared Wen Qinxi earlier. They had been hiding in the bushes filming this beautiful moment only to have it ruined by Wen Danzhe.

The fact that they were even allowed to be there and witness such a special thing was a miracle in itself. Qie Ranzhe had called his mother after Wen Qinxi left with an urgent request. Since her son rarely asked for anything she was interested. When the words jeweller, ring, proposal fell into her ear she almost fell off the couch.

She put on her heels in a hurry and picked the fastest car in her garage before personally driving it. She wreaked havoc on the streets with her sports car and arrived at the jeweller faster than Qie Ranzhe. While she was excitedly picking options she was video calling Mama Wen which meant this is how her new friend found out about the proposal.

That is to say, if Mama Wen knew about it then Wen Danzhe also knew about it which is how they ended up here. As for Dai Yu, she was at a spa getting her nails done when Qie Ranzhe called her asking for a favour. He needed a simple romantic proposal decor for the roof of his apartment and since she runs a company that specializes in that he asked for help.

That's how Dai Yu dragged Shao Lan along to hide in the bushes with everyone else and witness her stoic cousin propose. As for Machu, well he was the first to know because Qie Ranzhe called him before he decided to do this.

In conclusion, this is how everyone in this apartment ended up here. "You know you could have killed your brother, right? He is like concrete in water, he sinks not floats," said Mama Wen wishing she could smack some sense into him.

"I am a concrete slab that's because I want my sexy man to save me," said Dai Yu affectionately patting Shao Lan's chest making Dai Lee want to cover them up with a sheet so she wouldn't spoil her eyes. Indeed, the two of them turned for the worst that Dai Lee went and got a towel to cover them.

They all had had enough of pink bubbles floating around. There is such a thing as too much dog food, you know. While everyone was awkwardly trying to avert their gazes from this lovey-dovey couple, another couple was fighting in the tub.

Qie Ranzhe knew they had guests waiting for them but he wasn't well behaved at all. He kept on touching places that shouldn't be touched and stroking this and that while calling out husband which exhausted the nerd so much.

He just wanted to enjoy the ring on his finger and show it off to his family but Qie Ranzhe wouldn't let him out of the bathroom. The man couldn't even bathe in peace. One can only imagine how much worse Qie Ranzhe would be after marriage.

When he finally let him leave the bedroom Qie Ranzhe stuck to him as though he had imprinted himself on him like a duckling right after breaking out of its shell. If he went to the kitchen, Qie Ranzhe would follow behind. He gave Dai Lee a helpless look but all she said was, "Well, he is your problem now," while sipping her tea like this was none of her business.

Of course, this was none of her business that's because her son was only that clingy to her when he was in the womb. After that, her son was like a miniature grown up in a tiny body.
