wu wei had already reserved the entire restaurant. it was dinnertime now, but the restaurant was especially quiet.

in the middle of the hall was a long table covered with a champagne cloth, and in the middle were pink roses and white lilies.

wu wei took she meixin's hand and led her to the dining table. gentleman pulled out a chair for her and gestured for her to sit down.

after she sat down, he turned around and walked to the other side of the table and sat down. the two of them were separated by a little distance, so she meixin could clearly see the expression on his face, but not her heart.

the waiter opened a bottle of white wine and poured her a third of the wine before pouring the same amount for wu wei.

from the moment she meixin entered the door until now, she felt a little dizzy.

is this really just a simple lunch? she remembered that he had never been so grand when he proposed to her before.

"do you know what day it is today?" wu wei held his wine cup and looked at the slightly confused he mei xin with a smile.

"day? "what day?" he mei still felt a little dizzy. she could not remember what kind of special day it was today.

"you really don't remember?" wu wei seemed to be disappointed with he mei's answer. he let out a long sigh and asked a question instead.

she meixin took out her phone and checked the time. then, she immediately reacted and apologized, "i'm sorry, wu wei, i …" i didn't mean to forget your birthday. "

"you've even forgotten my birthday, you're really an incompetent fiancee." wu wei pretended to be depressed and shook his head, then continued to sigh.

"you know, so many things have happened in this period of time, i …" "i really didn't mean to forget …" she meixin explained apologetically.

"in that case, in order to prevent you from forgetting my birthday in the future, i'll have to fill out our names in an account book so that you can always remember them." as wu wei spoke, he raised his wine gla.s.s and walked in front of she meixin. standing still, he tapped his gla.s.s against hers and asked, "what do you think of my suggestion?"

she meixin was momentarily at a loss for words. he … is he proposing a marriage?

"you … proposing to me? " she stared blankly at the incomparably handsome wu wei in front of her and asked in a stiff manner.

"i thought my meaning was clear enough." he casually picked up a rose from the center of the table and handed it to he meixin, saying: "count the petals of this flower. if it's a double count, then marry me without hesitation, okay?"

"what if it's an odd number?" he meixin asked somewhat nervously.

"if you're counting, i will allow you to marry me after hesitating for a moment." he smiled and began to pluck at the first petal. "it's starting, one …"

"two …"

"three …"

"…"

when she tore off a few petals, she actually saw a simple and cla.s.sic diamond ring lying quietly in the middle of the flower. her expression immediately froze, as if she had gone back to that night half a year ago.

at that time, he had a ring in his hand and wanted her to be his bride.

then, one by one, the petals fell to the ground. when the last petal was about to fall, she had just counted to forty-five.

singular.

she slightly raised her head and looked at wu wei, not knowing what to say.

wu wei merely smiled and took off the ring hanging on the flower heart, pa.s.sing it to he meixin. "look carefully, how many pieces are on this ring?"

when she meixin heard this, her gaze quickly landed on the resplendent diamond ring. for a moment, she was dumbfounded.

he didn't expect that the leaf covering the diamond ring was shaped like a rose petal. there were a total of three petals.

as a result, there were a total of forty-eight petals. it was a double number.

"it looks like you won't be able to escape this time." as wu wei spoke, he firmly slipped the ring that symbolized his promise onto the ring finger of he meixin's left hand.

"wu wei, do you remember what you said the last time you asked me to marry you?" she meixin looked at the ring on her finger, her eyes filled with tears of grat.i.tude. everything seemed fated. in this life, she could only be his bride, even if he had forgotten about her …

"yes." he merely snorted in her ear.

"i want to hear it again." she looked at him expectantly. that heavy promise, she hoped that he would remember it forever, forever …

when he heard this, he raised his eyebrows and said, "i want to wait until the day you marry me before i tell you these words."

"wu wei, thank you for saving me in qq despite the danger." she gently leaned into his embrace and said with a buzz.

"idiot." he lovingly patted her head and secretly sighed, "next month, let's hold the wedding ceremony."

"wh …" what? "next month?" isn't that a bit too fast?

"you don't like it?"

"no …" no, it's just … huojiao is still unknown, but we... "it doesn't seem to be appropriate …" he mei didn't know how to explain her thoughts. she didn't want wu wei to think that she didn't want to marry him now. furthermore, due to her delicate relationship with huo jianji, she didn't want him to misunderstand anything.

and there was another very important reason. she remembered, he had said, that because she liked summer, their wedding should be arranged in the summer. however, the summer had already pa.s.sed, and next month was late autumn …

"well, we'll hold the wedding when we know exactly who he is." once again, he fulfilled her wish without the slightest hesitation.

"wu wei, thank you for understanding." she said with incomparable gratification.

"i think if we continue to stand and talk like this, the delicacies will get cold." he gave her a big smile, then sat her down in a chair and turned back to his.

in the evening, an unexpected guest suddenly appeared in charlotte's office.

"h.e.l.lo, mr. charlotte." a childish voice rang out, making xia luo, who was busy sorting through the doc.u.ments, slightly raise his head to look at the person in front of him.

"h.e.l.lo." when he found out that the person standing in front of him was a four or five-year-old child, he was stunned for a moment before replying politely.

"my name is huo yimeng, and my father is huo jianji." she spoke again and made a simple introduction.

"are you mr. huo's daughter?" it was obvious that this great detective was very surprised to learn of this news. he carefully sized up this silly little girl in a princess dress in front of him.
