Chapter 99: Agreeing to the Proposal

  It's green light time, but Lele is not urging Jingyang to cross the road. Instead, she stands there with a look of dissatisfaction on her face. Is this guy waiting for the red light to cross? That's asking for trouble!

  People passing by them also looked at them with strange eyes, and Lele felt that she was almost being stared to death.

  Jingyang took a deep breath and said, "Lele, I've always wanted to find a special occasion to propose to you, but no matter how hard I thought about it, I couldn't think of a suitable one. But in the end, I still found a place that satisfied me."

  "Huh?"

  "It's right here!"

  Just as Lele looked at him with an unbelievable gaze, Jingyang took out the ring from his pocket and said affectionately: "Will you marry me?"

  Lele nervously swallowed her saliva, then looked at him with tears in her eyes. It wasn't the first time he had proposed to her, but she couldn't understand why she was crying.

  Looking into his deep eyes, Lele nodded, Jingyang put the ring on her finger, then pressed his forehead against hers, he gently kissed her lips, Lele thought she would quickly agree with him to avoid the red light, but he actually had a kissing segment, surrounded by car horns, those drivers almost put their horns in their ears and pressed.

  "Shameless!"

  "Looking for death!"

  "Go jump off a building and die, don't block the way here."

  "Illness, deep well ice!"

  Lè's ears were filled with the loud curses of those passing drivers.

  Lè Lè felt very shy, but with Jing Yang by her side, she wasn't afraid at all. She could clearly feel the heat emitted from the passing cars beside her.

  Jingyang finally let her go, and the two of them just hugged each other tightly in the midst of the car array.

  The green light finally came on, and she urged Jingyang to hurry up and take her away. Jingyang smiled and held her hand, walking slowly to the side of the road. He made a gesture of respect towards the direction of the building.

  Lè Lè didn't understand and looked at the building, asking: "Who are you waving at?"

  "There is still someone on the top floor of the building."

  "What? Why?"

  "They're working very hard taking pictures for us, aren't they?"

  "Huh? Taking pictures?"

  "Right. I'm afraid you won't admit it, what if you return?" Jingyang said.

  Lele frowned, was she such a person in his eyes? He was the one who was moody and unpredictable.

  Jing Yang looked at the cars coming and going on the road with satisfaction. He said, "I've always wanted to give you a unique proposal ceremony, but it's not romantic enough. Besides, I'm not young anymore, and I don't play unconventional things. I just thought that I should give my wife and children something exciting. Whether we live or die, we'll be together. So I chose this place."

  Lele was about to go crazy. Who said this guy was mature and steady? He actually chose the most dangerous place to propose, and even had the nerve to say such a reason.

  "Madman!"

  "So happy. Did something crazy for once."

  Le Le pouted and said: "So this is what it was like when I got proposed to, no roses, no witnesses."

  Jingyang burst out laughing and said: "How come there's no one witnessing this? Just now weren't many people driving by and scolding us?"

  "You still have the nerve to say that, what a unique blessing!" Jingyang said with a hearty laugh.

  Lè Lè's face turned red, "Yes, at such a young age, it's still the first time doing something so wicked!"

  "What kind of evil is this? But let's hurry up and leave, the city surveillance cameras have already spotted us, the traffic police will come looking for us."

  "Hmm! Lele nodded in agreement, she didn't want to lose face by going to the traffic police department."

  Jingyang dragged Lele's hand and rushed into the cinema, Lele was so scared that she covered her belly with her hands, afraid of startling her baby. She thought her baby had already received a big fright today.

  Just ran in, the studio was filled with applause, "Director Jing, you guys did a great job."

  "The actors on TV don't act this well."

  Hehe, I'm laughing at this. Oh my, these people are really willing to tell any lie for the sake of money. This is a huge lie, or you could say it's a loud flattery.

  But Lele firmly believed that it should be a good shot, because something done with one's life on the line must be done thoroughly.

  "Are you guys taking wedding photos today?"

  "Ah?" Lele was extremely surprised, Jingyang wouldn't do this, and it was too fast.

  "Is your photographer here?"

  "In short, as long as Jing said to shoot, we have time whenever. The manager said, Lele sighed repeatedly, money can make ghosts grind mills, now she knew why they used to have so many reasons when shooting others, because they were always prioritizing the feelings of creatures like Jing evil spirit."

  But Lele smiled self-deprecatingly, they were doing business after all, and of course had to consider the benefits and weigh the pros and cons.

  Jing Yang saw her spacing out and thought she was tired, so he said: "We won't shoot today, it's been tiring today, let's start tomorrow, you guys prepare well."

  Jingyang finished speaking, took out a U-disk and put it in his pocket, saying: "This is my marriage proposal to you, the evidence that you agreed to marry me. Don't ever lose it."

  Ley saw Jingyang's happy face at this moment like a child, she smiled and said: "I want to tell my mom."

  "No problem, I'll take you there!" Jingyang said.

  "Don't go, you've gone and now I have so many things I can no longer say to mom."

  "What's going on? Are you still hiding something from me?"

  Lè Lè was crying and laughing at the same time, a group of crows flew over her head on time. "Even if she hides, it's only his turn to hide from her, how can it be her turn to hide from him? What thing can escape this old fox's eyes?"

  "Alright, come back as soon as possible, don't stay out overnight, and give my regards to mom."

  "Uh-huh, I see."

  Lele took a taxi and left, but Jingyang wouldn't let her act alone. This girl was too easy to believe others, already twenty-two years old, yet still looked like she was twelve, the more he thought about it, the more uneasy he felt.

  He drove towards the sanatorium and he could stay downstairs but he had to protect her at close range.

  Lele arrived at the nursing home and walked into her grandfather's room, where she saw him sleeping. Her mother was embroidering something with such concentration that she didn't even notice Lele coming in.

  "Mom!"

  "My goodness, you're trying to scare me to death!" An's mom said, taking off her glasses.

  "It's so tiring for your eyes, can't you just stop embroidering?" Lele snatched it over and put it aside.

  "Oh dear, this is the dowry I've been embroidering for you. I've treasured these silks for many years, just waiting for your wedding day so I could give them to you as a gift."

  "Mom, you just want to marry me off like this?"

  "Oh dear, the ancients were right. A woman past her prime is hard to keep, and keeping her only leads to resentment." An's mother said with a smile.

  Lele frowned and pouted, "Who were those ancient people who said that?!"

  "What brings you here today?"

  Lele suddenly remembered her original intention for coming here, and with a burning face, she whispered: "Mom, I agreed to Jingyang's proposal today."

  "Oh, really?"

  Lele nodded.

  "Well done, well done! This kid Jingyang is really something!"

  Lele's chin and eyeballs fell to the ground. What is Mom saying! This tone seems like Jingyang has become Mom's son!

  "Hey, mom, I'm your real child, why are you treating Jingyang like he's your son?"

  An's mom smiled and looked at Lele saying: "Jingyang is really good to you, I know. Of course, I hope you can walk into the wedding hall with him."

  "Mom!"

  "I just hope Jingyang can be with you till the end."

  Lele nodded and leaned on her mother's shoulder.

  "Oh, right, he was supposed to come with me today, I wanted to talk to you, so I didn't let him come."

  "You kid, don't ever do this again, and there's nothing to hide from him. Why are you doing this? Absolutely not allowed in the future."

  Le Le nodded vigorously.

  "Alright, hurry back home now, while it's still daylight. I still need to prepare your dowry!" An's mom hurried Lele away.

  "What else do you want to do?"

  "I want to give you and Jingyang Xiu a pair of sachets."

  Lele burst out laughing, because she thought of her mother embroidering a pair of golden yellow sachets. One was hung on the lapel of her suit, and the other was hung on her jeans, mismatched. Such good things were not cherished by them, which was disregard for their mother's hard work. She would rather have her mother not do these things.

  "Alright, don't linger around me anymore, you're not cute at all, hurry up and leave, you're wasting my time."

  "How could you be so disgusted with your own daughter?"

  "Hurry up and go!"

  Lele had no choice but to listen and leave. An's mom immediately called Jingyang.

  "Mom, I'm Jingyang."

  "Well, Jingyang, congratulations to you, it seems I really have to entrust you with taking care of my daughter."

  "Mom, don't worry, I'm just at the entrance of the sanatorium."

  "Oh, that's great, let's hurry up and take Lele home!"

  "Okay, mom!"

  Jing Yang had just hung up the phone when he saw Le Le walking out of the hospital lobby. He was about to drive forward when he saw her hail a taxi.

  He was about to stop the taxi, but saw Lele making a phone call in the car and didn't notice him at all. He thought for a moment, that's right, Lele said not to let him follow her, so he wouldn't let her find out, just quietly followed her home, but who was she on the phone with?!

  But Jingyang followed her for a while before realizing that the girl wasn't heading home, but instead arrived at a coffee shop near Yahua University.

  Jingyang was puzzled, what was she doing here? Was she following Maibao to find old times? But what surprised Jingyang was that the person who made an appointment with Lele was not Maibao, but Qihang senior. Jingyang clenched her fists, this guy was really a cockroach that couldn't be killed.

  Lele smiled and sat opposite him, looking at the veins on his hand jumping under the sunlight by the floor-to-ceiling window. He endured it, although the man inside was hypocritical to the extreme, he still hoped that Lele could see through his true face.

  "Senior, what can I do for you?"

  "Oh, it's been a long time since we last met, I'd like to invite you for a cup of coffee."

  "Oh, thank you!"

  "Lelai, do you know why I chose here?"

  "Why?"

  "I thought there were many shared memories of ours here."
