“That’s a very good reason, isn’t it?”

Fang Qing let out a smile. No matter what, she had done what she had to do.

“I can tell that Lu Si is interested in you, and you happen to have her in your eyes as well. It’s very appropriate for me, the ‘rushing joy’ partner, to leave at this time.”

“We’ve helped each other out. I’m very grateful to you, Mr. Xu.”

Xu Yi lowered his head and smiled. He did not know why, but he could only hear a hint of jealousy?

“I only came into contact with Lu Si because of the painting. Please don’t misunderstand.”

Fang Qing looked as if she understood. “Mr. Xu has yet to clearly understand his feelings. You guys can slowly cultivate them.”

She was not going to accompany him.

“Then do you mind following me somewhere?”

It seemed to be a question.

In fact, Fang Qing’s hand was already held by Xu Yi as he strode in front.

The person driving this time was Xu Yi.

They arrived at the Xu Corporation and went straight to the top floor.

This place was not empty. It was an elegant little garden with a deck chair that was exquisitely arranged together. There were many artistic decorations.

No matter how beautiful it was, at a glance, the height could not be ignored.

Fang Qing took a deep breath and could not help but tease, “Why did you bring me here? Are you planning to ‘kill me to silence me’?”

“Have you seen the fireworks during the day?”

Fang Qing was shaking her head when there was a loud sound. It was muffled as if it exploded in her heart and struck deep into her heart.

It was gorgeous and colorful, and the color combination was extremely bold. It was so gorgeous that even during the day, it did not lose the instant beauty brought by the fireworks.

Fang Qing was lost in her thoughts. It was hard not to let her imagination run wild.

Xu Yi prepared this for her?

She was not sure, but the fireworks in front of her were so dazzling.

“You were the one who prepared this?”

As Fang Qing spoke, she looked at Xu Yi. He was already on one knee, holding a ring in his hand, and his eyes were burning.

Her emotions surged. For a moment, she was in a daze, feeling that it was very unreal.

“I said that I would marry you, so I will definitely keep my promise. Even if it’s a secret marriage, a promise is still a promise.”

Fang Qing did not understand. She looked at him hesitantly and asked in return, “Between Lu Si and me, did you really choose me?”

How was she worth it?

She was not worthy at all!

“I’m only grateful to her. There’s no way I have other feelings for her. Moreover, since I chose you, it’s definitely not just talk. I’m responsible for what I said.”

…

Fang Qing was stunned. She had never thought that she would have such a day.

“Shall I put it on for you?”

“Okay.”

Fang Qing felt a wave of sourness rush up to her nose. It had been a long time since she had been chosen with such certainty.

It would be a lie to say that she was not moved.

“I really don’t know what to say to you. If you really chose a person like me, who is not worthy of the limelight, for the sake of this so-called promise, then it definitely wouldn’t be worth it.”

Xu Yi put on the ring and stood up. After he stood up, he looked at her with certainty. “Although this marriage is only in name, the proposal still has to be formal. You’re feeling too inferior, Fang Qing. Let go of the past and move on. That’s what you should do the most.”

“Are you choosing me so that I won’t feel inferior anymore?”

“No, I’m doing so because I know you’re worth it.”

Xu Yi gestured for her to look up.

A new round of fireworks bloomed in the sky once again.

Fang Qing sniffled and looked up at the sky with a wry smile. Her expression was a little awkward, and she managed to control her surging emotions with great difficulty. Finally, a big smile bloomed on her face.

“How romantic. The kind of fireworks you chose is really beautiful.”

“Fang Qing, cheer up. Life is full of hope.”

Fang Qing turned her head to look at him. This was the first time she felt that although this man had a very cold bone structure and had a feeling that strangers would not be able to get close to him, the way he usually did things and the way he took care of Fang Qing made her view of Xu Yi change quite a bit.

“Thank you, Xu Yi.”

This was the first time Fang Qing had called him by his name.

He was not the polite Mr. Xu, nor was he the husband who needed to act.

He was like a friend, a little more intimate.

Xu Yi smiled faintly and shrugged. “You have an irresistible face, don’t you?”

“Hmm?”

“You have a sense of intimacy that makes it hard to ignore you. I quite like getting along with you.”

When Fang Qing heard this, she could not hide the smile on her face. Finally, she could not help but laugh, and her eyes were filled with vigor.

“Then, do you want to go try out some wedding dresses? I’ve already chosen a place.”

“Now?”

“I’ll go with you.”

Xu Yi put his arm around Fang Qing’s shoulder, about to take her away.
