Chapter 292

That streak of orange sunset finally sank below the horizon. Meanwhile, on the beach, the bonfire made crackling noises as it swayed in the wind.

Ji Qingqing and the other attendees sat before a long table. They had already finished their meal, so fruits were being served. The group of people made small talk and chatted from time to time, however, it was clearly obvious that the main star tonight was Lin Zhen.

Within the span of dinner, Lin Zhen and Chen Shuyi had gotten so affectionate that they were acting as if there was no one around them. They ignored the fact that Ji Qingqing and Lu Lixing were even present at the table. Even the surrounding staff and the cameras didn’t faze them either. Seeing how passionate they were, Ji Qingqing couldn’t help but cringe.

“Hubby, did you plan all these for me? Why wasn’t I told anything beforehand?”

“If you knew, would it still be a surprise then?”

Smooch, he gave her a kiss.

“That ring was so expensive, but you still went ahead to buy it anyway.”

“It’s something that you like so regardless of how expensive it is, it’s definitely worth it.”

Smooch, another kiss again.

“Hubby, I want to eat that...”

“Ah—”

After silently shifting her gaze to the fruit platter, Ji Qingqing glanced at Lu Lixing who was the epitome of “silence is golden.” It was still fine if there wasn’t anyone to compare to, but now that there was Chen Shuyi, Lu Lixing seemed like a block of wood.

Does he know how to be affectionate?

Does he?!!!

There wasn’t a single reaction from him.

Even though Ji Qingqing’s heart was crying out loud, she maintained a calm smile on her face.

As a career woman, she shouldn’t spend the whole day being affected by all this lovey-dovey stuff. If Lu Lixing wants to be affectionate then sure, but if he doesn’t then so be it. Well, it’s not as if she lacks money or ability. She’ll work hard to earn money and buy one for herself. She’ll be her own queen!

“Hubby, thank you for the blue sapphire ring. I really like it.”

... Chen Shuyi is such a good man.

She moved closer to Lu Lixing and whispered, “Hubby, which auction did you buy Lin Zhen’s blue sapphire ring at?”

Oh? That’s a somewhat interesting question from her. Lu Lixing whispered back, “I bought that ring on behalf of Chen Shuyi, what’s wrong?”

Isn’t that almost the same thing?

——Bro, do you need a wedding proposal plan? How much is your budget? I’ll help you and I guarantee that your partner will be so touched that it’ll make her cry!

The words ‘make her cry’ caught Lu Lixing’s attention.

Immediately, a couple of messages appeared on the chat box.

——How much is your budget?

——Click on me if your budget is 1,000 rmb~

——Click on me if your budget is 10,000 rmb~

——Click on me if your budget is 100,000 rmb~

——Click on me if your budget is 200,000 rmb~

Lu Lixing shook his head. The budget was too low. Nope.

He closed the page and continued to scroll down.

Flowers, balloons, they’re too cliche.

All rejected.

He exited the page and called Chen Shuyi.

The phone rang for a long while before Chen Shuyi answered.

On the other end, Chen Shuyi sounded quite irritated. “Why did you call me at such a late hour?”

“I wanted to ask you to help me out with something.”

“Help with what? Is it urgent? If it’s not urgent, we can wait till tomorrow.”

“It’s urgent.”

Chen Shuyi lowered his voice. “What is it?”

“I want to propose to Ji Qingqing, but I don’t have a good wedding proposal idea. You’re rather creative, so help me tonight.”

“Tonight? That urgent?”

“Yes.”
