Lu Lixing’s straight lips curved into a happy smile. He was satisfied and happy. It felt as if the empty hole in his heart had been filled. Even as the sea breeze blew over, he still felt warm throughout.
He took out the ring from the seashell and wore it on Ji Qingqing’s middle finger. Then he lowered his head and kissed the back of her hand in a very gentlemanly manner.

The place lit up.
At Ji Qingqing’s side was the reef that emerged from the beach. The shoreline curved beautifully, reaching the reef that was at the end. A multitude of lights clustered together and layer upon layer, they stretched out from her feet, filling the entire length of the resort’s private beach.
The glow was from the countless little light bulbs. The multi-colored light bulbs were strung together by a wire. One, two, three, four, five, six, and so on. The light bulbs lined the beach and their colorful lights brightened up the entire dark and gloomy shore.
As Ji Qingqing gazed at the endless shoreline, her eyes turned slightly red and her nose started to feel a tingling sensation. She inhaled deeply and firmly bit down on her bottom lip to control herself.
I can’t cry. I definitely mustn’t cry!
She was so happy. How could she cry at such a romantic moment?
“Well, I don’t know what you like, but I hope I was able to at least brighten up your night.”
Lu Lixing stood up and hugged Ji Qingqing with one arm. Then he leaned in and kissed her.
When their two cool lips met, it was like oil being poured over flames— burning, blazing and restlessly raging on. In their passion, the kiss deepened. They were two souls desperately seeking each other’s warmth while, at the same time, eager to share their own. They were inseparable.
After a while, their passionate kiss finally ended.
Ji Qingqing gazed at him breathlessly. Her joy could be seen in the arch of her eyebrows. Just as she was about to speak, she heard clapping sounds.
The two of them turned in the direction of the clapping sounds. It was from Chen Shuyi and Lin Zhen. Unbeknownst to them they had reached the place and were standing beside a beach chair. Both of them were looking at the couple with smiles.
“Honey, see? You don’t need to worry about him at all. Now, he can even match up to my level.”
Ji Qingqing knew what Chen Shuyi was referring to and a blush quickly crept up her cheeks. She felt a little awkward in front of the other two people.
Ji Qingqing blinked her eyes. She had already been overwhelmed by how expensive Lin Zhen’s ring was, so this time, she was fully prepared. After hearing the price of her ring, she was rather indifferent and calm.
Lin Zhen chuckled and continued, “USD.”
Ji Qingqing was confused. “How much did you just say?”
“Your ring is worth 21 million USD.”
“21 million... USD?”
Ji Qingqing thought for a while... that many dollars converted to RMB would be...
Ji Qingqing: “....”
Ji Qingqing: ???
Ji Qingqing: !!!
She was snapped out of it by an employee’s voice that said, “Hey, Miss Ji, please be careful! I’ll finish picking up those wires in a bit. Have a safe trip!”
Inside the hotel’s small infirmary, a doctor was disinfecting and applying the medicine on Lu Lixing’s injured palm and arms.
——“Host, the mission requires you to personally give your fiance, Ji Qingqing, a romantic wedding proposal that would move her to tears! And the mission has three conditions: 1) Kiss 2) A romantic wedding proposal and 3) Move her to tears.”
——“You’ve fulfilled the first and second conditions. As for the third...”
“I’ll stop here, this is already good enough.” Lu Lixing remembered the smile on Ji Qingqing’s face. “She was so happy during the proposal, why does she have to cry?”
——“If you fail to complete the mission, you would be...” Little A stopped. “Mission complete. Life points +99. Current life points are worth 102 hours.”
Lu Lixing was puzzled by what happened when the infirmary door swung open and Ji Qingqing rushed inside hurriedly.
Her eyes were brimming with tears and her voice was wavering. “Hubby, how... how could you buy me such an expensive ring! I’m honestly touched beyond words! *sobbing* QAQ...”
——“Life point +1. Current life points are worth 103 hours.”
