I Love Contract Couples So Much Chapter 43
byChapter 43 Complete text Proposal
It was already past eleven o’clock when the two of them finished packing up Cheng Yuxin’s precious sons and daughters.
Thinking that today was really busy during the day and Cheng Yuxin might be tired, Jiang Chen stopped fussing after lying down.
The next day, Jiang Chen woke up very early and kissed his lover who was still sleeping. Jiang Chen quietly came to the kitchen, took out the ingredients prepared in advance and started cooking porridge.
When Cheng Yuxin woke up, the room was filled with the aroma of porridge. When she saw that the seat next to her was empty, Cheng Yuxin understood.I came to the kitchen with sleepy eyes, and as expected I saw my lover busy with work.
Cheng Yuxin walked over and gave her busy lover a big hug.Jiang Chen also hugged him and kissed his lips: “Baby, be good, go and wash up first.”
Cheng Yuxin nodded obediently and left the kitchen.
Today’s breakfast was particularly appealing to Cheng Yuxin’s appetite, especially after experiencing the feast of the Spring Festival. The fresh and delicious porridge and side dishes made people feel more comfortable.
After the meal, Cheng Yuxin helped Jiang Chen pack his luggage back to Licheng. He had to bring this dress and that tie…Cheng Yuxin wished he could pack up the whole house and let Jiang Chen take it away.Jiang Chen looked at him working hard to stuff the big and small bags into the suitcase, feeling moved and helpless: “Baby, I really want to take you with me.”
Cheng Yuxin almost agreed, but thinking of the unfinished project, she said seriously: “No, I still have work.”
“Yes.” Of course Jiang Chen knew that he would never let Cheng Yuxin give up his current job and follow him.Not only because Jiang Chen has seen it with his own eyes, Cheng Yuxin’s current work content and working environment are very suitable for him.What’s more important is that Jiang Chen has already planned his future in Qincheng.
He would be back soon, he was sure of it.
After making sure that everything that should be brought and what should not be brought has been packed, Cheng Yuxin looked around and saw Fu Fu in different shapes on the shelf.Cheng Yuxin picked up a pure white angel-shaped Fu Fu figure: “Husband, my daughter wants to accompany you to Licheng.”
Jiang Chen took it and examined it carefully. He saw that the hands of the figure were holding a small pink heart. Jiang Chen smiled and said, “If mom agrees, of course I have no objection.”
Cheng Yuxin’s face turned red because of his words.
In the end, Jiang Chen still brought the little angel figure.It was not put in the suitcase, but put away separately.
At noon, the two of them found a Chaoshan beef hotpot restaurant near their home.After eating hot pot, Jiang Chen drove together to the singing place.
Cheng Yuxin was actually a little curious, why did Jiang Chen suddenly want to sing?
Before he could ask, Jiang Chen told the reason: “The Cantonese song you sang last time was very nice.”
Cheng Yuxin felt a little embarrassed by his praise. She rolled her eyes and said, “Do you want to hear me sing? Then you sing first. If I’m satisfied, I’ll sing it to you.”
Jiang Chen’s heart began to itch again when he heard his naughty tone.I want to kiss you, I want to hold you, I want to take it one step further.But judging from Cheng Yuxin’s expression, it was obvious that she was looking forward to this event.So Jiang Chen suppressed his inappropriate thoughts and said with a smile, “Okay.”
Jiang Chen first sang an ordinary classic love song. It was a singer recalling the passionate love period with his wife, and praising the current happy life that is dull but sweet.
Cheng Yuxin was moved by the gentle and calm atmosphere conveyed by the song, and also chose an equally warm Cantonese song: “How to go on a first date is really hard to think about…” [Note ①]
Jiang Chen listened quietly, looking at the person with eyes that gradually deepened.
When the song ended, Jiang Chen couldn’t bear it anymore and hugged the singer and kissed her passionately.
When the kiss ended, Cheng Yuxin’s eyes were filled with tears.
“I can’t sing anymore.” Cheng Yuxin pointed to the throat that was a bit mute from being kissed, but his expression was endlessly sweet.
“I won’t mess with you anymore. What song do you want to sing next?” Jiang Chen stretched out a hand and swore to the sky.
“Honey, you haven’t sung yet.” Cheng Yuxin said angrily.
Jiang Chen’s heart softened when he called him “husband”.He kept saying, “I sing, I sing.” Then he sang a relatively peaceful love song.
Cheng Yuxin’s expression was very intoxicated. Perhaps because she didn’t want to break the peaceful atmosphere, she sang a sweet Cantonese love song.The original singers are two sweet girls who look and sound very sweet.In order to match the original singer, Cheng Yuxin’s expression and tone inevitably moved closer to the original singer.
In Jiang Chen’s eyes, it was almost impossible to hold back anymore.But fortunately, he still thought about his vow and endured it.
The two kept going back and forth, and after singing several songs in a row, Jiang Chen’s song library was exhausted, and he couldn’t find any more songs that he could sing.
Jiang Chen could only surrender and promised Cheng Yuxin to punish himself every time he sang a song.However, there were not many Cantonese songs left that Cheng Yuxin could sing. Looking at the time, it was almost five o’clock.So the two ended today’s duet singing competition and went home together while there were not many cars on the road.
Because Jiang Chen was leaving early tomorrow morning, the two of them deliberately ate dinner very slowly.It seemed that spending the whole holiday together day and night still couldn’t let them express their true feelings.
However, what should end is over.After the meal, both of them were probably thinking about tomorrow morning, and neither of them spoke while facing each other.Jiang Chen couldn’t stand this weird atmosphere and suggested going to the river to have a look.Cheng Yuxin naturally responded positively.
There are far fewer pedestrians tonight than on the Spring Festival night, but the holiday decorations are still there.So the atmosphere is calm yet still full of festive atmosphere.The two of them walked side by side along the river bank. There were lights on the river bank and the water in the river was rippling, which was quite pleasant.
Maybe it was because the river was too peaceful, or maybe it was the night breeze that calmed people down. After returning home again, both of them felt much relieved.Washing up as usual, and lying on the bed, the two hugged each other tacitly.
Just hugs.Not intense, not sad, not tinged with desires, not carrying emotions.
The two fell asleep peacefully.
The next day Jiang Chen went out early as planned, and while waiting for the elevator, Cheng Yuxin ran out of the room.Something was mysteriously thrust into Jiang Chen’s hand, wrapped in silver plastic paper. Apart from the fact that it was an irregular three-dimensional object, there was no way to tell what it was.
Jiang Chen was about to open it, but Cheng Yuxin stopped him: “Wait until it’s time to open it.”
“Okay.” Jiang Chen did what he said and carefully put the tightly packed small things into his coat pocket.
The sound of the elevator arriving sounded, and Cheng Yuxin urged him not to waste time.Jiang Chen leaned forward and kissed him on the forehead: “See you on the weekend, baby.”
“Have a nice trip hubby!”
Along the way, Jiang Chen was thinking about the little things in his pocket.What could it be?The size looks so similar that Cheng Yuxin regards it as a treasure for his children’s hand-made keychains and acrylic stand.Whose could it be?
Could it be Fufu?Jiang Chen thought of Cheng Yuxin’s happy eyes holding the pink figurine, and a smile appeared on his face unconsciously.
Jiang Chen came directly to the company and left his luggage in the car. When he went upstairs, he took nothing with him except the gift from Miles Yuxin in his pocket.
On the first day after the holiday, the company was filled with laziness and tiredness.Including Jiang Chen himself is no exception.When checking in, he ran into a colleague he hadn’t seen during the entire holiday. Jiang Chen thought about it for a while before remembering his last name.
“Manager Zhou, happy New Year.”
The other party’s expression was obviously recalling who Jiang Chen was.
“Ah…Happy New Year, Happy New Year, Manager Jiang?”
“Oh, it’s me. I need to go back to the office first.”
“Oh, goodbye, Manager Jiang.”
Jiang Chen went straight to the office, closed the door, and turned on the light.Jiang Chen was like a thief who had stolen a treasure and didn’t dare to let anyone discover his secret.
Taking out the gift that was well protected by the silver wrapping bag in his pocket, Jiang Chen carefully opened it along the seal and saw the dark blue top of his head.
blue?
Jiang Chen quickly tore off the packaging bag and suddenly saw the true face of the figure.
It wasn’t Fufu, but the boy in blue who was sitting beside Cheng Yuxin’s bedside carrying a big knife.
Jiang Chen remembered that when Cheng Yuxin was helping Cheng Yuxin move on the fifth day of the new year, this figure was indeed taken away by Cheng Yuxin.He’d seen him on the shelf next to his bed the night before before going to bed.
Unexpectedly, Cheng Yuxin gave this figure to herself.
When Jiang Chen thought about it, during the countless days that he had missed, this figure had been quietly by Cheng Yuxin’s side.My heart felt as if it was about to be filled to bursting by those countless years, and it was so heavy that I couldn’t breathe.
Jiang Chen solemnly placed the figure on the most conspicuous place on his desk.In order to prevent the figures from being lonely, I moved the potted plants that were originally placed on the bookshelf to create a small world of freedom for the figures.Only then did the work officially begin.
Jiang Chen first sorted out the work that had been arranged years ago. It was almost sorted, and continued to follow up on the cooperation project with Zhiyu years ago.
At the same time, he began to submit resumes to the companies he was interested in, and all of them worked in Qincheng.Jiang Chen’s resume was solid enough, and with the recruitment peak after the new year, Jiang Chen had already received more than ten interview invitations by the time he got off work.
Jiang Chen sifted through it and clearly arranged the two days of the weekend.
In this way, the first week of work in the new year ended in such a hurry and lazily.Jiang Chen returned home on time on Friday night, and had dinner with Cheng Yuxin at the home-cooked restaurant downstairs. During the walk, he still couldn’t hold back, kissing and hugging each other. If he hadn’t been in a public place, Jiang Chen would have been really afraid that he had made a mistake.Naturally, I made amends with myself severely that night.Cheng Yuxin was also very indulgent. Even though she was exhausted, she still looked at Jiang Chen with loving eyes and said gently that it didn’t matter.
Over the weekend, Jiang Chen completed all the interviews as planned.He deliberately wanted to hide it from Cheng Yuxin and wanted to give Cheng Yuxin a surprise after the work was settled.So I just said that I went on an inspection trip for work.
Cheng Yuxin was convinced and never asked about Jiang Chen’s whereabouts. He believed whatever Jiang Chen said, without questioning, questioning or speculating.
Jiang Chen was greatly moved by being trusted by someone so firmly.Even though he ran around all day during the day, it didn’t stop him from helping people run errands at night, and he was still full of energy until the early hours of the morning.
Cheng Yuxin was quite distressed that he had to travel around for work on weekends.After being tossed around all night, I thought to myself, luckily I have work to tie me down, otherwise I wouldn’t dare imagine how much trouble Jiang Chen would go through.
The second week after the festival happened to coincide with the Lantern Festival. Jiang Chen wanted to celebrate the festival with Cheng Yuxin. He was originally thinking about how to ask for leave so that the company could let him go quickly, but he happened to meet the financial director who came to him to sign.The financial director took a quick look at the figures on Jiang Chen’s desk.
The financial director had never seen similar gadgets in Manager Jiang’s office a year ago, and thought that something had happened to Manager Jiang after returning home for the New Year.You can’t go wrong by saying something nice about such a good thing, so the financial manager smiled and said: “Manager Jiang, this little plastic guy is pretty good.”
Jiang Chen looked at his meaningful smile and immediately understood. He smiled and said, “I don’t really understand this, but my fiancée likes it and will give it to me no matter what.”
The finance director’s guess was confirmed, he had a clue in his mind, and he decided to keep working hard.He smiled and said: “Congratulations to Manager Jiang. It seems that I will be eating Manager Jiang’s wedding candy soon.”
“Director Zhao is absolutely indispensable.” Jiang Chen said and signed neatly.
The financial manager took the signed list and left happily.After the financial director left, Jiang Chen was not in a hurry to ask for leave from personnel.
In the afternoon, Jiang Chen estimated that after a midday fermentation, the news of his engagement should have spread within the company, and then Jiang Chen leisurely came to the office of the human resources department.
The door to the HR office was open, and before I even got close, I heard the sound of cracking melon seeds.Jiang Chen stood still in front of the door and knocked on the door with the back of his hand: “Manager Xu, you are busy.”
Manager Xu from the Human Resources Department was chatting animatedly with his subordinates. When he saw someone coming, he quickly stood up and said, “It’s rare, Manager Jiang. Is this the Spring Festival and good things are coming soon?”
Sure enough, the HR Department had heard about it.
Jiang Chen smiled slightly and said: “Manager Xu knows things well. I met my parents during the Chinese New Year, and I want to visit my father-in-law’s house during the Lantern Festival.”
“Mr. Jiang is really thoughtful. You still have to go there in person. Once you submit the OA, I will pass it.”
“Thank you very much, Manager Xu.” After receiving the permission from the HR manager, Jiang Chen immediately returned to the office and submitted a leave application.
Manager Xu was online and passed on the spot.
The day before the Lantern Festival, Jiang Chen did not work overtime and went back to Qincheng directly after get off work.When she got home, Cheng Yuxin hadn’t gotten off work yet.Jiang Chen knew without thinking that it was Zhiyu who had heard about the merger and acquisition and wanted to end Chaosheng’s project as soon as possible.Jiang Chen turned on the light, put down his luggage and went to the kitchen, ready to cook a pot of health porridge to nourish Cheng Yu’s heart.
When Cheng Yuxin got home, everyone was dumbfounded when they saw the lights on. After all, there was no holiday for the Lantern Festival, so how could Jiang Chen go home at this time.
Jiang Chen came out of the kitchen and saw his lover standing blankly in front of the door. He quickly approached and pinched his lover’s fair and tender face: “We haven’t seen you for a few days, why are you so stupid?”
“Why are you back at this time?” After the year, because the leader was eager to catch up on the trendy projects, Zhiyu’s work rhythm was faster than before.
Cheng Yuxin didn’t have time to adjust, so she threw herself into intense work. She stayed up late and worked overtime in the past few days, and her nerves were always very tense.
Jiang Chen gently touched his thin chin: “Thank you for your hard work, baby. Have you had dinner? I cooked porridge and you will be able to drink it soon.”
“It’s hard for you too.” Cheng Yuxin knew that Jiang Chen spent a lot of time just on the road, and he was still busy cooking when he got home.Cheng Yuxin buried her face on her lover’s shoulder.
Jiang Chen gently patted his thin shoulder: “Our company fishes and eats melon seeds every day, so where is the hard work?”
Cheng Yuxin felt a lot better after hearing what he said, and then she started to complain about her colleagues who worked overtime in the company: “Wow, you guys are so free.”
Jiang Chen did not explain. Although he himself was not in the fishing industry, he did not want to clarify for Chao Sheng.He nodded and said: “You see that none of the people in our company take it to heart, so you shouldn’t be so desperate.”
Cheng Yuxin immediately shook her head like a rattle: “One code, one code, we are not working hard for your company. We are just doing our part.”
Seeing that there was no hope of persuasion, Jiang Chen stopped wasting time and put his arms around Cheng Yuxin and walked in. He let Cheng Yuxin rest first while he went to the kitchen to watch the porridge.
Cheng Yuxin had already eaten takeout at the company. She wanted to lie down on the sofa and squint for a while, but unexpectedly she fell asleep as soon as she closed her eyes.
Jiang Chen opened the lid of the pot. The porridge had been cooking for nearly an hour, and now a fresh aroma was overflowing.Jiang Chen came to the living room, originally wanting to tell Cheng Yu that Xinzhou was getting better soon, so don’t just sleep there.Seeing his tired sleeping face, I still couldn’t bear to wake him up.Fortunately, the casserole for making porridge had good heat preservation properties. Jiang Chen turned down the heat and simmered it slowly on the lowest heat.When Cheng Yuxin woke up, he directly brought the cooked porridge to the table.
It was close to ten o’clock when Cheng Yuxin woke up, which was the time for midnight snack.The two of them drank the porridge and felt warm all over their bodies.
Jiang Chen took out his mobile phone and showed Cheng Yuxin the figure of the boy in blue and the surrounding environment.
“Look, I built him a new home.” In addition to potted plants, Jiang Chen also added small wooden houses to his desk one after another. The small houses have windows and doors, and the doors and windows can all be opened.Through the doors and windows, you can see that the interior of the small house is equipped with sets of miniature furniture.There is a ceramic “lake” placed next to the potted plants outside the small house. The “lake” is filled with clean water, with a few hydroponic white flowers and small green leaves floating in the water. There is a plastic mini boat parked next to the “lake”.
Cheng Yuxin looked at it and felt very happy: “His living standard has improved dramatically with you.”
“Because I’m your baby.” Jiang Chen said.
Cheng Yuxin blushed because of his straightforward words: “You too.”
“Me too?” Jiang Chen deliberately pretended to be confused.
Cheng Yuxin’s face immediately turned red and she refused to say anything.
Jiang Chen leaned forward and kissed her.
When the kiss ended, both of them were panting heavily.They hugged each other and stumbled to the bedroom, spending a lovely night together.
The next day, Cheng Yuxin didn’t ask for leave, and she definitely couldn’t ask for leave at this juncture, so she had to go to work early.
Before leaving, Jiang Chen made an agreement with him to deliver food to him at noon.Cheng Yuxin originally refused to agree. He was not only afraid of causing trouble to Jiang Chen, but also afraid of the negative impact on his colleagues.Jiang Chen then said: “Then I will accompany you to work directly. This will make me more troublesome and the impact will be worse.”
Of course, Cheng Yuxin believed that he could definitely do it, so she could only agree to the request to deliver food.As soon as Cheng Yuxin left, Jiang Chen started busy with lunch.
First go to the morning market to buy the ingredients you need for lunch, and prepare the ingredients that need to be processed in advance.Then go to the supermarket to buy lunch boxes for delivery, and wash and disinfect them carefully after returning home.
Because Cheng Yuxin stayed up late and worked overtime these days, Jiang Chen specially bought an old hen at the morning market to prepare a pot of warm and nourishing chicken soup.After the chicken soup was put in the pot, a sea bass was steamed.Finally, I fried shredded ginger beef with a strong flavor and green vegetables with a relatively refreshing taste.
Jiang Chen’s timing was relatively accurate. When Cheng Yuxin got off work, he happened to arrive at the parking lot with his packed lunch.
Cheng Yuxin took her lunch and returned to the office. Jiang Chen was waiting for him in the parking lot.Because Cheng Yuxin also wanted to send down the empty lunch box.Jiang Chen was afraid that Cheng Yuxin would eat too fast, so he specifically asked him to eat slowly.Cheng Yuxin promised well, but still delivered the lunch box in less than half an hour.
“Don’t eat too fast.” Jiang Chen said seriously.
Cheng Yuxin smiled sheepishly: “It was so delicious that I couldn’t help but eat it faster.”
Even though he knew it was a cunning statement to escape blame, Jiang Chen couldn’t help but feel happy.”You.”
Cheng Yuxin smiled slyly like a successful little fox.
Jiang Chen slapped his butt punitively: “Wait when you go home tonight.”
Cheng Yuxin didn’t care about him, he jumped out of the car and ran away naughtily.
In the evening, Jiang Chen took people to the restaurant that had been booked in advance. He originally planned to invite the Cheng family’s parents to celebrate the festival together as a family, so he booked a four-person room.
But Cheng Yuxin told him that Cheng’s father and Cheng’s mother had moved back to their hometown for two or three days.Moreover, when moving, Cheng Yuxin was told repeatedly not to disturb them unless there was anything particularly important.Because Father Cheng found that the dog he had just brought home was not in very good condition, was afraid of people, was timid, and was extremely prone to stress.Father Cheng wanted the dog to get used to the environment in his hometown before introducing it to Cheng Yuxin.
When Cheng’s father informed Cheng Yuxin of the situation, the old couple and their two sons had already returned to their hometown.Cheng Yuxin, who was far away in Qincheng, couldn’t teleport back to his hometown to protest, not to mention that he didn’t need to protest, so of course he obeyed his father’s words.
Because of the festival, all private rooms in the hotel are fully booked.Unable to change rooms temporarily, the two enjoyed the festive meal in the quadruple room.
Jiang Chen had also booked the menu in advance, and the amount of food was of course far more than the two of them could eat.After Jiang Chen removed the dishes specially ordered for the old man, he also removed some staple foods and added some nourishing soups.
Cheng Yuxin felt particularly comfortable after dinner.However, he still felt that it was far less appetizing than the lunch meal.
“Can I bring you food every day from now on?” Jiang Chen said.
Cheng Yuxin was very happy after hearing this. Although he knew it was just a joke, he was very satisfied with Jiang Chen’s intention: “Okay.”
“One week later.” Jiang Chen said solemnly.
Cheng Yuxin still didn’t take it seriously: “You still have to take care of my baby, have you forgotten?”
“I haven’t forgotten. I will take good care of you and your baby.”
Jiang Chen kept his promise and completed a series of procedures including work handover, resignation procedures and joining the new company in a week.Because Jiang Chen released the news of the engagement in advance and usually intended to maintain the relationship between all parties within Chaosheng, all the procedures were handled very smoothly, and the back-up of the new company also got the results Jiang Chen wanted.
The new company Ning’an Industrial is headquartered in the capital Ningcheng. The branch in Qincheng has been relatively unknown in the past few years. In recent years, because it has caught on to the rapid development of Qincheng, its performance has become a blockbuster. Naturally, it has attracted the attention of the headquarters. The company’s leadership has gradually been replaced by personnel arranged by the headquarters.Jiang Chen is the only leadership member of the branch that has been recruited by himself in recent years.
After reporting on the new company, the first thing Jiang Chen did was to place Cheng Yuxin’s baby.Not only did he bring Bao Bao’er’s “people” over, but the belongings he arranged for Bao’ing Er also moved from Chaosheng to Ning’an as they were.
With Cheng Yuxin’s sweetheart by his side, Jiang Chen quickly got into work mode.The house in Licheng has not yet expired. Jiang Chen plans not to return to Licheng in the near future, and will deal with it slowly when the house expires.
Jiang Chen didn’t tell Cheng Yuxin all this.So when Cheng Yuxin arrived home and saw Jiang Chen who had returned home earlier than herself, the surprise on her face was obvious.
Jiang Chen smiled and planned to wait until he had a midnight snack to explain.
As the project is coming to an end, Zhiyu’s overtime work has become more and more brutal, and the company has begun to consciously reserve overtime lunch boxes.The advantage is that Cheng Yuxin doesn’t need to order takeout by herself, but the disadvantage is that overtime hours are even more uncontrollable.
There was even a scheduling meeting scheduled after dinner.It can be seen that Zhiyu has made up his mind to end the project before Chaosheng is acquired.
Jiang Chen felt extremely distressed, and thought that he was the one who promoted the cooperation in the first place. Now that he had successfully escaped from Chaosheng, Cheng Yuxin was trapped.
Jiang Chen felt more and more uncomfortable. In order to prevent Cheng Yu from thinking too much, he still couldn’t let anyone notice.Jiang Chen could only invite people to have supper quickly.
“Why are you back?” Cheng Yuxin didn’t notice as expected, because he was more concerned about another issue.
“You eat first, and I’ll let you know when I’m done.”
For midnight snack, Jiang Chen cooked glutinous rice balls stuffed with red beans and wine. To avoid Cheng Yu being tired, he mixed in another delicious side dish.It’s slightly sour and slightly spicy, which suits Cheng Yuxin’s taste. It’s even more delicious than glutinous rice balls.
Jiang Chen watched silently and made plans for tomorrow’s menu.
After Cheng Yuxin finished eating, Jiang Chen told the whole story about his job hopping.Although Cheng Yuxin was surprised, he was not surprised.After all, Jiang Chen’s family is settled in Qincheng, and it is only a matter of time before he returns to Qincheng to work.But Cheng Yuxin didn’t expect it to happen so quickly.
“I can’t live without you for a day, baby.” Jiang Chen said from the bottom of his heart.
Cheng Yuxin felt sweet but also a little shy. After a while, she whispered: “Me too…”
With the experience last time, Jiang Chen no longer teased him.Urging people to wash up and rest quickly.
Perhaps she was really exhausted, so Cheng Yuxin fell asleep as soon as her head hit the pillow.Jiang Chen originally wanted to do something, but seeing his lover so exhausted, he could only hold back.
Jiang Chen got up early the next day and prepared the ingredients for lunch in advance.As a long-established national enterprise originating from the capital, Ning’an’s corporate benefits have been generous for decades.Not only does the company cafeteria provide three meals a day for free, there are also lunch breaks throughout the year.So Jiang Chen not only had enough time to travel between work and home, he could even cook and deliver meals to Cheng Yuxin.
Cheng Yuxin didn’t agree at first. He didn’t want Jiang Chen to run around because of him, but he still saw Jiang Chen downstairs in the company at noon.Cheng Yuxin could only accept the lunch box full of love from her lover.
Cheng Yuxin still worked overtime in the evening, because the company reserved overtime meals. Jiang Chen had no excuse to deliver meals, and he felt a little disappointed.Jiang Chen prepared a particularly sumptuous lunch for the next day.
Like this for a month, Jiang Chen showed up at Zhiyu’s downstairs on time at lunch time.Colleagues such as Zhiyu, who are from Buddhist circles, also noticed something was wrong.
As soon as I got to work that afternoon, my colleague sitting next to Cheng Yuxin couldn’t help but ask: “Director Cheng, Manager Jiang, who has often seen Chaosheng downstairs recently, have you ever met him?”
“I’ve met him before.” Cheng Yuxin knew what his colleague wanted to say and said truthfully, “He no longer works at Chaosheng.”
“Oh? It seems like you know each other personally?”
“Well, he’s my boyfriend.”
A look of realization appeared on the colleague’s face, and he glanced at the different flowers on Cheng Yuxin’s desk that changed every day.Remembering that ever since Manager Jiang came to inspect the company, Director Cheng’s desk has never been short of flowers.
So that’s it.
The colleague showed a blessing smile: “Congratulations, Director Cheng, we are about to have wedding candy.”
Cheng Yuxin was stunned by the question, thought for a while, and said, “Maybe I need to finish this time first.”
The colleague thought of the hellish overtime pattern that has been going on since the year before, and suddenly made a sad face: “That’s right.”
Jiang Chen also encountered a similar problem in his new company. Because he never showed up in the cafeteria during lunch time, his colleagues naturally asked if he was busy going home to eat with his wife and children.
“Yeah, I’m going to eat with my wife.” Jiang Chen admitted frankly.
“Does Mr. Jiang have no children yet? How long has Mr. Jiang been married? Do you have any plans to have children?” The colleague’s spirit of gossip aroused and he asked enthusiastically.
“Engaged, not married yet. My wife’s company has a lot of things going on recently, so I plan to wait until he’s finished and talk about it in detail.” This is indeed Jiang Chen’s plan.Rather, his original plan was to change jobs and return to Qincheng to propose marriage immediately.But Cheng Yuxin was really too busy. Jiang Chen didn’t want to burden Cheng Yuxin, so he could only postpone the proposal.
“Congratulations in advance, Mr. Jiang.”
In the blink of an eye, the first month has passed, the project is coming to an end, and Cheng Yuxin can get off work on time.After arriving home, looking at the delicious food on the table, Cheng Yuxin couldn’t help but wonder: “We all get off work at five o’clock, why did you come back so early?”
“Our company is closer to home and there’s no traffic on the road.”
Cheng Yuxin then remembered that Zhiyu’s building was in the city center, and traffic jams on his way to and from get off work every day had become a common occurrence.Jiang Chen’s new company is in the new district, which is only a ten-minute drive from Qinfeng Park. The roads are wide and there are few traffic jams.
Cheng Yuxin was speechless, put down her things, washed her hands, and had dinner with her lover.After the meal, Jiang Chen was the first to ask about Cheng Yuxin’s work situation.Realizing that Cheng Yuxin was done, she resumed her normal nine-to-five schedule.Jiang Chen secretly made up his mind to give Cheng Yuxin a surprise.
Jiang Chen visited the famous wedding companies in Qincheng and selected the one with a better reputation that suited Cheng Yuxin’s style.Under the guidance of experienced planners, all details of the proposal are carefully planned.
In order to show grandeur, Jiang Chen also invited Cheng’s parents to attend the proposal.
Mrs. Cheng was briefly surprised for a moment, thinking that the two of them had been talking for so long and this boy had never shown any signs of betrayal. If he could pretend to be a good man all his life, he could be considered a good man.So he stopped trying and not only agreed to attend the scene, but also agreed to Jiang Chen’s request for confidentiality.
On Friday afternoon, Jiang Chen specially asked for leave and worked with the wedding company to arrange the venue and prepare flowers, cakes, engagement rings, engagement gifts, photography and videography.
As the time for Cheng Yuxin to get off work approached, Jiang Chen resisted the urge to rush to Zhiyu to pick him up, and waited anxiously but patiently with the Cheng family’s parents.
The sound of arrival came from the elevator, and Jiang Chen, who was wearing formal clothes, stood up immediately.
“Do we have to hide inside?” Father Cheng suddenly remembered something and asked.
“Yes, yes! Let’s go!” Mrs. Cheng was also in an extremely nervous state. After Cheng’s father reminded her, she quickly urged people to hide.
The two hurriedly hid in the bedroom, but did not close the door. They left the door ajar, leaving a small gap. They looked at the door through the crack with four eyes, nervously inquiring about what was going on outside.
Jiang Chen was the only one left in the huge living room, and he practiced again in front of the mirror.
“Cheng Yuxin, please marry me.” Isn’t it too dull?
“Beauty, I need you to get married!” So greasy.
“My dear, marry me.” He said perfunctorily.
…
Jiang Chen smiled so hard in the mirror that he still couldn’t find a suitable proposal vow.
At this time, there was the sound of the door being unlocked.Cheng Yuxin is back.
Jiang Chen turned around sharply and met a pair of dark eyes.
“Cheng Yuxin.” Jiang Chen never thought that he could be so calm.
Cheng Yuxin didn’t have time to look around the suddenly unfamiliar living room. When she heard her lover calling her, she walked to her side in confusion.
Jiang Chen took his right hand and accurately put the engagement ring on the slender white ring finger.”Get married.”
It’s not a question, nor an invitation, but a very firm decision. There is only one option.
Cheng Yuxin blinked and gradually saw the new look of the living room clearly. It had obviously been carefully prepared. Colorful neon strips were added around the ceiling lights, and the walls were covered with flowers of a uniform and comfortable color.The flower wall facing the door also has balloons with different letters and ribbons of different colors.The sum total is an obvious “cyx marry me”.A milk-white square table was placed in front of the flower wall. On the table was a multi-layered cream cake that was almost taller than a person. Next to the cake was a wine tower made of champagne.
Cheng Yuxin raised her hand and saw the ring that was forced onto her hand. It was a perfect size because it was specially made for him.The huge diamond seems to glow by itself under colored lights.
Cheng Yuxin smiled helplessly: “No, I didn’t react. Try again.” After saying that, she stretched out her ring-covered hand in front of Jiang Chen.
Jiang Chen took off the ring and solemnly proposed again: “Cheng Yuxin, marry me.”
Cheng Yuxin nodded.The ring was put on again, and Jiang Chen picked up the person and spun him around happily.
At this time, applause broke out.The Cheng family’s parents, who had witnessed the whole process, walked out of the door with smiles on their faces.
“Xiao Jiang, I’m not telling you that you are a bit overbearing.” Mrs. Cheng has completely accepted Jiang Chen as her son-in-law.She always felt that Cheng Yuxin’s temperament was a little too gentle. With Jiang Chen, a decisive and defensive person by his side, she should be able to help her son avoid a lot of trouble.
Father Cheng nodded, “No one proposes marriage twice.”
Jiang Chen was a little embarrassed to be told by his elders.Just as he was about to apologize, Cheng’s father said again: “Twice is good, after all, there are only two of you.”
“You are the only one who is smart.” Mrs. Cheng said, “I have already finished what you have to say.”
Now it was Cheng’s father’s turn to be embarrassed.
The atmosphere suddenly became relaxed and happy. Amidst the laughter and laughter, the two young people cut the cake, distributed champagne and exchanged gifts under the witness of their elders.
The engagement ceremony is officially completed.
The family had dinner with He Meimei at the hotel. The Cheng family’s parents missed their youngest son and went back to Cheng’s house directly from the hotel. Cheng Yuxin and Jiang Chen went home together.
As soon as he got home, Jiang Chen couldn’t wait to come up with the wedding plan he had already planned.There are two plans, one is a traditional ceremony wedding and the other is an innovative travel wedding.
Cheng Yuxin read both plans, and realized that they could not take wedding leave without a marriage certificate, and their annual leave time was really limited, so he decided on the second plan.
Seeing that he had made a decisive choice, Jiang Chen immediately enthusiastically took people with him to discuss the travel destination.The two chose many places, some with unique natural landscapes, and some with profound and solid cultural heritage that are famous far and wide.Every location entrusts the best wishes of two people.
But in fact, Jiang Chen’s wish was far more than that.He wanted to travel to every corner of the world with Cheng Yuxin.But fortunately, time is still long, and every wish can be taken slowly.
