Chapter 194

Soon after, that Mr. Hua also came over to chat with Song Luokui. Although Song Luokui was surprised internally, she engaged in friendly conversation with him. Despite the significant age differences among everyone, they all shared the same desire to make money.

After the networking event ended, Song Luokui had added several new contacts.

Meanwhile, Chi Yu was in the midst of planning the proposal ceremony. He was keeping a close eye on everything, wanting it to be perfect.

That evening, when he returned to the home he shared with Song Luokui, she was already lounging in her pajamas watching TV. Seeing him come in, she asked, "Have you been very busy lately? It seems like you've been working overtime these past few days."

Chi Yu walked over and kissed her, saying, "I'm sorry, it has been a bit hectic recently. Once this period is over, I'll spend more time with you, okay?"

Song Luokui shook her head, "I'm not asking you to accompany me, I just see how hard you're working. Tomorrow, I'll ask the housekeeper to make you some chicken soup to help you recover."

Chi Yu kissed her again, "Thank you, wifey."

Song Luokui pushed him away, blushing, "We're not married yet, don't call me that." She was shy.

Chi Yu replied, "Alright, baby." After all, it wouldn't be long now.

"Didn't you attend some networking event today? How did it go?" Chi Yu inquired.

Song Luokui answered, "It went well, I added a few people on WeChat."

"Oh, and someone tried to set me up with a boyfriend," Song Luokui poked his cheek, "but I told them I have a fiancé, so they dropped it."

Chi Yu held her tightly, "You're mine."

Song Luokui patted him, "Go wash up and get some rest. Are you hungry? Should I ask the housekeeper to make you something? There's also cake in the fridge."

Chi Yu stood up, "I'm not eating, I'll go take a shower first."

"Okay."

For the next two weeks or so, Chi Yu came home quite late. Song Luokui assumed he was busy and didn't say anything. Plus, her brother hadn't called her recently either.

Song Luosheng: ...It wasn't that he didn't want to call, he was just afraid he might accidentally let slip about not wanting his sister to accept the proposal so easily.

But he couldn't... if their parents found out he leaked the news, he might face a double beating.

They dined for an hour in a lovely atmosphere. Afterwards, Chi Yu took her hand and led her to the chauffeur-driven car, "I have another surprise for you."

Song Luokui raised an eyebrow, "Oh?"

Chi Yu said, "I feel like one meal isn't enough to make up for my absence. But I hope you'll come with me somewhere."

As it was still early, Song Luokui naturally agreed, "Alright."

The driver headed towards their destination. Song Luokui asked him, "Why so mysterious? Are you planning to sell me off?"

Chi Yu was actually feeling a bit nervous now, but he didn't show it outwardly. He had one hand in his pocket, touching a small box.

They reached their destination in half an hour. Chi Yu led her to the gates of an estate, "We're here, let me help you out of the car."

Chi Yu held Song Luokui's hand as she got out. She was puzzled why they didn't drive directly into the estate. Just then, the grand gates opened, and Song Luokui saw that the path leading to the castle inside was lined with flowers on both sides, with a red carpet laid out in the middle.

Song Luokui looked at Chi Yu. She felt this scene was somewhat familiar, but couldn't quite place it. Chi Yu was also nervous. He held Song Luokui's hand and asked, "Shall we go in?"

Song Luokui nodded, and they walked onto the red carpet. The lights along the path were as bright as day, and the flowers on either side looked beautiful to Song Luokui, with dewdrops glistening on them.

As they walked, Song Luokui gradually began to suspect something. She glanced at Chi Yu, then looked ahead, then up at Chi Yu again.

Chi Yu noticed and asked, "What is it?"

Song Luokui started, "You..." but then lowered her eyes and said nothing.

Chi Yu's hand tightened, "We're almost there."

Song Luokui continued walking with him. Suddenly, a large screen appeared in front of them, displaying photos of the two of them. Even childhood photos had been edited to show them together, chronicling their journey from youth to adulthood.

Song Luokui watched for a moment, then suddenly heard a series of "boom boom boom" sounds coming from ahead. It was fireworks, grand and beautiful, even forming shapes—heart shapes, to be precise.

At that moment, Chi Yu dropped to one knee and pulled out a ring box from his pocket, opening it. "Darling, will you marry me?"

The diamond on the ring inside the box was enormous and dazzling, almost blinding Song Luokui. She had actually guessed what was coming earlier, but now that the moment had truly arrived, she found herself at a loss for words. The crowd hiding nearby held their breath in anticipation.

Chi Yu's hand trembled slightly. Seeing her lack of response, his heart began to race even faster. "Will you marry me?" he asked again, his voice filled with hope and nervousness.
