Chapter 388 Surprise
Chapter 388 Surprise
"Thank you, Jiang Yichen." I was about to follow Gu Bai when he grabbed me: "Don't rush, there's more surprise."
After saying that, he knelt on the ground.
At that moment, my heart skipped a beat, the surrounding noise vanished instantly, and it felt as if the whole world consisted only of the two of us.
Jiang Yichen slowly pulled a delicate little box from his pocket. I instinctively covered my mouth, my eyes filled with anticipation.
He reached into his pocket and pulled out a small box. I was slightly taken aback, but before I could ask anything, Jiang Yichen's lips curled into a smile. I watched as he gently picked up the ring.
“My dear, you hold our memories in your hands, but I feel that they are not enough to fully express my love for you. So…” Jiang Yichen said as he opened the box.
In an instant, a dazzling light shone forth, and a brand new ring appeared before our eyes. The main diamond on this ring was a full size larger than the previous one, and the tiny diamonds set around it sparkled like stars.
"This was specially made for you." Jiang Yichen's voice was gentle, with a hint of nervousness.
My eyes were filled with surprise and emotion, and tears welled up uncontrollably. "This...this is so beautiful," I choked out.
?
Just then, my mother excitedly ran over, grabbed my hand, and said, "Honey, I haven't seen you this happy in a long time."
Grandma stepped forward, patted Jiang Yichen on the shoulder, and said with a smile, "Well done, kid!"
"Mommy," Xiao Huai said with a smile, wanting a hug.
"Sisi, take a picture for us." I took Xiao Huai from my hands and called over Xu Sisi, who was not far away.
She was carrying a bag and ran towards us.
She tidied up the stray hairs on my forehead and said happily, "Sister Mo, aren't you happy? Little Sweetie and I have been planning this for a long time."
"move."
Tears welled up in my eyes. "Don't cry, Momo," Jiang Yichen said, wiping away my tears.
At this moment, Xu Sisi was also ready.
"Look at the camera, look at the camera," she said, directing me and Jiang Yichen.
Not long after, the photos were taken, and I also took a few photos with my grandma and the others.
"Sister Mo, Little Sweetie said we should take some selfies. There's a nice background over there, and she wants you to go over there," Xu Sisi said, pointing in Little Sweetie's direction.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Yichen gestured for me to come over.
"Sister Mo, come quick, the light here is really good!" Little Sweetie waved to me excitedly. She was squatting next to the pink flowers, holding a camera in her hand, with a bright smile on her face.
Little Sweetie came over and grabbed my wrist, her eyes sparkling: "Sister Mo, come take a selfie with me! This restaurant is decorated so beautifully, it would be a shame not to take a picture!"
I stumbled as she pulled me, almost losing my balance, and laughed helplessly, "Slow down, I'm not going to run away."
She stuck out her tongue and said playfully, "That's hard to say. What if Jiang Yichen calls you away? Wouldn't I be at a huge loss?" As she spoke, she took out her phone, turned on selfie mode, and adjusted the angle.
I laughed at her and shook my head: "You, all you do is fool around all day."
"No way!" Little Sweetie pouted, feigning grievance. "I'm just cherishing the beautiful moment! Come on, Sister Mo, stand over here, yes, a little closer, and tilt your head slightly towards me."
I stood in the position as she instructed, and she held up her phone, the screen reflecting our faces. Her smile was as bright as a little sun, while I seemed a bit reserved.
"Sister Mo, smile! Don't be so serious!" She poked my cheek with her finger. "Look, these are all real flowers! They're so expensive. Jiang Yichen must have spent a lot of money. Look, there are still 9,999 flowers over there."
Looking at these flowers, I was already overjoyed. I never expected Jiang Yichen to be so romantic. He has really changed a lot, but I still pretended to be calm.
"Later, could I take a few flowers with me?"
I couldn't help but laugh at her antics, and she immediately seized the opportunity to press the shutter: "Click!"
"Perfect!" Little Sweetie looked down at the photo and nodded in satisfaction. "Sister Mo, you look so beautiful when you smile! You should smile more often!"
I leaned over for a look. In the photo, we were standing in front of a meticulously arranged backdrop at a restaurant, the lighting soft, the decorations exquisite, and our smiles natural and warm. Little Sweetie proudly waved her phone: "How about it? My selfie skills are pretty good, right?"
I smiled and nodded: "That's really good. Looks like I'll have to ask you for all my selfies from now on."
"Of course!" She proudly raised her chin, then pulled me to the side. "Come on, let's take a few more pictures from a different angle; the lighting is better here!"
She pulled me to another beautifully decorated corner, and while adjusting the angle, she instructed me: "Sister Mo, tilt your head slightly, yes, like that, put your hand naturally on my shoulder, look at the camera, and pretend we're shooting a fashion editorial!"
I was amused by her description, but I did as she said. She pressed the shutter, took a few pictures, and then leaned over to look at the results: "Wow, this one has such a great atmosphere! Sister Mo, you're a natural-born model!"
I shook my head helplessly: "You, with such a sweet tongue, are you trying to get me to treat you to dinner again?"
Little Sweetie chuckled and winked: "You caught me! But I was just telling the truth!"
We burst into laughter, filling the restaurant with joyful chatter. Soft lighting bathed us, casting a warm glow. In the distance, Jiang Yichen stood beside his grandmother, whispering something to her, occasionally glancing in our direction with gentle, focused eyes.
Little Sweetie followed my gaze and suddenly lowered her voice, saying in a gossipy tone, "Sister Mo, the way Jiang Yichen looks at you is really enviable."
My face flushed, and I quickly interrupted her: "Don't talk nonsense, take the picture!"
She grinned and held up her phone: "Okay, okay, I won't say anymore. Come on, let's take a few more pictures. I promise I'll make you look beautiful!"
After taking the photos, I went back to Jiang Yichen's side.
It's been a long time since we've all gathered together like this. I happily ate my meal, and Jiang Yichen kept putting food into my bowl.
"This is delicious, have more." He would put more food in my bowl whenever it was empty.
"Alright! We're almost full." I stopped Jiang Yichen from picking up more food and chatted with everyone from time to time.
After dinner, my mother stood at the door and reminded me, "Xiao Huai is still young, please take care of him..."
I nodded, and Gu Bai said from the side, "Okay, sister will take good care of herself. Mom, don't worry. It's getting late, let them go first."
"That's true. Be careful on the road, Xiaomo."
"Okay, Mom, you too."
He then said goodbye to his family and went home to sleep, waiting to deal with the demolition issues the next day.
