Chapter 179 - LIE RUGE'S BIRTHDAY SURPRISE

Xu Feng immediately assisted Lie Ruge to the parking lot and assisted her into the car, he instantly zoomed afterwards. As he was driving, he always made sure to check up on Lie Ruge through the rear mirror to see whether she was awake. He was so afraid that she might suddenly wake up while he was driving. He was also afraid of what Yi Lan will do to him if his mission was a failure. He couldn't bring himself to imagine how Yi Lan will handle him if he were to ruin his perfect engagement plan. Lie Ruge woke up two hours later, she found herself in an unfamiliar room. After she fully regained her senses, she was surprised to see Xiao Bai watching over her with a worried look on her face.

"What is going on here BaiBai? How come you are here? Shouldn't you be in Paris for your shoot right now? Why the hell are we here?", Lie Ruge asked curiously as Xiao Bai helped Lie Ruge sit up on the bed. Lie Ruge was so amazed to see herself fully dressed p from head to toe when she took a look at her face.

" Ge'er, I was also surprised when I woke up and found myself here too. I was supposed to be in Paris right now getting prepared for my shoot, but I was shocked when I woke up and find myself in this strange room. I was so worried to see you sleeping when I woke up. I don't know who has the guts to play such pranks on us", Xiao Bai said worriedly as she acted as if she was shocked to see herself fully dressed too.

"Damn it! How dare Xu Feng connived with our enemies to do this to us? If he thinks that he has won then he is mistaken. Nobody dares to challenge the almighty Lady Boss and go scot-free. BaiBai, come let's find our way out of here", Lie Ruge said as she attempted to rip the dress into a comfortable size.

" Hey, Ge'er stop alright. How could you attempt to destroy this heavenly made dress? Although I don't know who arranged these cloths, I love this dress. I think it will suit me perfectly well so can you just put it on so that you can hand it over to me after we have escaped from here hmmm", Xiao Bai asked cutely. Lie Ruge did not suspect her since she knew that Xiao Bai easily falls in love with any new fashion item, she set her eyes on. Lie Ruge quickly agrees to Xiao Bai's request without wasting any time as she pulled Xiao Bai outside the room. Xiao Bai was in charge of showing her directions and Lie Ruge was surprised that she was familiar with the strange environment.

" BaiBai, how come you 're so familiar with this environment? It looks like this is not your first time here and how come it looks like we are on a cruise ship? Do you have an idea about who might be responsible for this?", Lie Ruge asked inquiringly as Xiao Bai drag her along the corridor.

" Don't you know my temperament Ge'er? I have been here for a day plus so, of course, I tried escaping from this ship numerous times but my plan was always a failure, so I am kind of familiar with this route. Come on stop asking questions and let's get out of here before they realized that we have escaped", Xiao Bai said as she pulled the door in front of her open.

"I am not afraid of them because I'm confident that I can take all of them down on my own moreover they are the ones who should be afraid of me not the other way around ", Lie Ruge said angrily as she followed Xiao Bai close behind. Xiao Bai heaved a sigh of relieve as they approach the huge door in front of them. She rearranged both her dress and Lie Ruge's dress and exhaled deeply to calm down her nerves before she opened the huge door at once to reveal a beautiful scene in front of them. Everyone was mesmerized when they saw the most beautiful figure that have ever seen. Staring at Lie Ruge at the limelight was as if they have never seen her before. She was so breathtakingly beautiful that it took them a while before they could recover from their trance. Xiao Bai held Lie Ruge's hand as they stepped into the open space fully. The reporter's immediately kept their cameras rolling in order to capture the spectacular entering of the queen. 

"Happy birthday CEO Lie", Everyone exclaimed in unison when they came back to their senses. Lie Ruge was speechless, she didn't know what to say.

"Happy birthday best friend, I'm so damn sorry that you have to hear this from my mouth this late. I'm so blessed to have you as my best friend. Thank you for being born on this awesome day and most of all thank you for being my best friend", Xiao Bai said happily as she gave her a friendly peck on her cheeks. Right at that minute Yi Lan walked through the crowd and paused at the centre before he resumed his walk once again. He was wearing a deep colour blue suit. He even changed his hairstyle, this time around he did a disconnected undercut combine with the textured brush-up hairstyle. He was super handsome with this fantastic combination.

"Happy birthday Love, I'm so sorry I stood you up earlier. Thanks for being born on this special day specifically for me. Thanks for always being the first person to find me. I love you so much", Yi Lan said as he gave her a hot kiss on her lips before he reluctantly disconnected his lips from her since they were too many prying eyes on them.

"I love you too. You scared the hell out of me", Lie Ruge said as she gave Yi Lan a tight hug not giving a damn about the prying eyes.

"Happy birthday Sister-in-law, thank you so much for coming into our lives, you are our inspiration", Yun Yi and Tan Fan echoed in unison. Everyone was surprised at their closeness, "How come nobody knew about their relationship. Were they always this close? This is amazing", all the socialites thought. Elder Yi and Madam Yi were also present to celebrate the day with Lie Ruge. They would not miss their precious baby's birthday party for anything in this world. Chairman Lie was all smiles when he saw that all his efforts in getting Lie Ruge into a relationship were fruitful. He was so happy that his daughter has finally made up with her childhood sweetheart.

" Hello dad, welcome to my birthday party. I'm sorry I wasn't able to honour your invitation. Dad, this is Yi Lan. Yi Lan meet my dad", Lie Ruge said as she formally introduced Yi Lan to her dad.

" You this unfilial daughter of mine. So today is the day you decided to introduce your sweetheart to me hmmm? You hid my son-in-law from me for such a long time. Yi Lan, I hope you haven't made my daughter unhappy in any way. I remember repeating the same thing twice to you on different occasions when we met. So, I hope you didn't have the guts to bully my princess?", Chairman Lie asked attempting to instill fear in Yi Lan, but Yi Lan was unshaken.

" Of course not, father-in-law. If there is anyone who gets bully, I think it should be me because I love her more", Yi Lan replied boldly.

" Lanlan, have you met my dad before? How come I was not aware of it?", Lie Ruge asked in surprised.

" Did you think that you could have hidden him from me? Of course, I have met Yi Lan twice. The first time was when you were in the hospital and the second time was when he gave me the invitation card. Although he looks scary, I approve of him since you have always wanted him ever since you were a child", Chairman Lie said smiling. The three talked and talked till Xiao Bai came to bail them out from Chairman Lie. The three friends bonded like old times while they left the young ones alone. As Xiao Bai, Yi Lan, Yun Yi and Tan Fan waited for the right time for Yi Lan to go ahead with the proposal they chatted and spoke to different businessmen and women till they planned time arrived. At exactly 11:00 pm, the fireworks were fired and it continued like that for twenty minutes before a sparkling item was shot into the atmosphere with the words, "Make me the happiest man on earth by marrying me, Ge'er". Yi Lan immediately went down on his knee as the sign was shot into the atmosphere.

" Wow! This is awesome",

" I have never seen such a proposal before",

" How the earth was this even possible, did he personally design this particular firework on his own",

" This is magical", all the socialites exclaimed in total shock. Even before the fireworks were shot the reporters did not relent capturing all the scenes. Being able to capture their pictures was breaking news already talk less of writing several articles on every event that took place on the cruise ship. They kept their cameras rolling as everyone turned their attention to Lie Ruge and Yi Lan.

" Meeting you again after years of non-contact was the best thing that has ever happened to me. Your personality and believe changed me. Loving you was like a miracle because I have already closed my heart to love years ago but something special in you melted my cold heart and made it beat for one woman. I can never spend a day without you in my life and I know that you fill the same way towards me.I love you so much Ge'er and nothing in this world can ever change that fact. Even though the whole world gives up on you, I will stand by you and love you for the rest of my life. Marry me Ge'er and make me forever yours", Yi Lan said as he brought out white platinum rings designed with diamond out.

"I desire nothing more but to become your wife. Lanlan, you are the miracle that I have always wished for all my life. Loving you was never a mistake and I'm a hundred percent sure that what I feel towards you is nothing but true love. Thank you for shining light into my dark life and thank you for making me realize how wonderful the feeling LOVE is. I love this surprise party so much and of course I will you", Lie Ruge said happily as she stretch out her left her hand for Yi Lan to put the ring on her, she also did likewise to Yi Lan. Yi Lan immediately stood up and gave her a passionate kiss as the reporter's capture their moments. He kissed her for three minutes before he disconnected his lips.

" Bravo! This is so amazing", Yun Yi shouted excitedly while clapping and everyone joined in.

" I'm so happy for you best friend, your wish has finally come true. Thank goodness you have met the man who was specifically made for you. One who is willing to love and cherish you despite all your flaws", Xiao Bai said cheerfully as she gave Lie Ruge a tight hug.

" Third bro, I'm so happy you have met your match. It is an undeniable truth that the two of you were made specially for each other, a true match made in heaven", Yun Yi said elatedly as he tapped Yi Lan's shoulder playfully. Everyone burst out laughing heartily when they saw his actions.
