Chapter 634: Proposal (Part 1)
Outside the train station.
Jiang Meilin stood on the roadside with her bag in her hand, watching Xu Ye and Chen Qingqing get off the Bentley in front of her. She was very surprised and said, "Why are you..."
"Auntie, get in the car and talk."
Xu Ye opened the back door, and after Jiang Meilin got in, he sat back in the passenger seat.
Jiang Meilin reacted and smiled, "Xiao Xu, did you really buy a car for Qingqing?"
"Yes, it just arrived yesterday."
"When are you going back to Shanghai?"
Xu Ye replied, "Next week, no hurry, there are people watching over the company, and I deliberately stayed at home for a while this time to see if there is any difference between me and the company."
"Have the design drawings of the house come out?"
"Two have, and two haven't. It should be in the next two days. Then we will see which design is better. I have to sign a contract with the decoration company before I leave, and my parents will watch over it later."
Jiang Meilin nodded and didn't answer.
After returning to Hongye Villa, the family ate stewed rice first. Chen Qingqing accidentally spilled the soup on her clothes, so she went upstairs to take a shower. Chen Hansong also went into the kitchen to continue to be a househusband.
Jiang Meilin held a glass of boiled water and sat on the sofa. Seeing that her husband and daughter were not around, she lowered her voice and asked softly: "Is it tomorrow night?"
"Yes."
Xu Ye sat next to Jiang Meilin and handed her the phone in front of her: "Auntie, can you let her wear this dress tomorrow."
Jiang Meilin stepped forward and took a look, frowning slightly, as if puzzled.
Xu Ye quickly explained: "This is the dress she wore when we first met. It's in the second compartment on the right side of the cloakroom."
Jiang Meilin suddenly realized, smiled and didn't speak, but she had already imagined the scene of tomorrow night in her mind.
"Then I'll go back first. There are still a few things I need to arrange. I won't come tomorrow. I'll ask her out in the evening."
"Well, go slowly on the road."
...
May 20th.
Homophonic to "I love you", I don't know when it started, this day has also become a special Valentine's Day in China.
Xu Ye also got up early in the morning, and after searching in the closet for a long time, he finally found the clothes he wore during the summer vacation four years ago.
A pure white T-shirt, Lao Zhang washed it and kept it in the closet without wearing it much, now it is a little yellowed, the pants are also a pair of pure black casual pants, the shoes have been worn out, Xu Ye can only use a pair of white Air Force One instead.
After changing clothes and walking out of the room, Lao Zhang and Lao Xu were stunned.
"Son, why are you..."
"Don't ask so many questions, Lao Xu, hurry up and get me a bowl of food, I'll be out in a minute."
Lao Xu laughed angrily: "Stinky boy, who are you sending?"
Lao Zhang slapped Lao Xu on the back: "Go!"
Lao Xu withdrew his smile in dismay and went to the kitchen to get a bowl of dumplings. Lao Zhang went to Xu Ye's room and helped make the bed. When making the bed, he checked under the pillow and found that the box containing the diamond ring was taken by Xu Ye. She guessed why Xu Ye wore such old clothes.
She smiled, but secretly sighed in her heart: "Alas, they both have the surname Xu, and they are father and son, why are they so different?"
...
Jiang Meilin entered Chen Qingqing's room early in the morning and walked around the room under the pretext of cleaning.
Chen Qingqing was soon woken up. Seeing Jiang Meilin mopping the floor, she sighed and said helplessly, "Mom, what are you doing?"
"Get up and wash your hair. It's messy."
Chen Qingqing reluctantly lifted the quilt and prepared to go to the cloakroom to find clothes to wear, but was stopped by Jiang Meilin: "Go wash your hair first, I'll find clothes for you."
When Jiang Meilin was at home before, she often prepared the clothes that Chen Qingqing would wear the next day in advance and put them on the bay window. Chen Qingqing was used to it. She quickly turned and went into the bathroom. Seeing that her hair was really messy, she thought that Xu Ye might take her to get the marriage certificate today, so she quickly washed her hair.
After blowing her hair out, she saw a set of clothes on the bed. Chen Qingqing was also stunned for a moment: "Mom, I haven't worn this set of clothes for a long time."
"This set looks good."
"Will it make me look very young?"
"No."
"Okay."
Chen Qingqing unbuttoned her pajamas and started to change clothes.
Chen Qingqing found Jiang Meilin looking at her all the time, and asked unhappily: "Mom, what are you looking at?"
Jiang Meilin laughed angrily: "You know you're shy now. I bathed you when you were in high school."
"How can it be the same?"
"Okay, okay, I'll go out now."
Chen Qingqing changed her clothes and came downstairs. After breakfast, she sat at home quietly waiting for Xu Ye to come.
But as time passed, Xu Ye didn't come, and there was no WeChat message. Chen Qingqing's mood gradually became bad.
Time came to noon in a blink of an eye.
Seeing Chen Qingqing's unhappy face, Jiang Meilin also helped Xu Ye to cover up: "Xiao Xu is busy with the film and television base today, why didn't he come this morning."
Chen Qingqing pouted and said unhappily: "I don't know."
"Then ask."
Chen Qingqing was petulant: "I won't ask."
Chen Hansong said: "It's okay, Dad is free in the afternoon, Dad will take you shopping."
"No, I want to sleep!" Chen Qingqing put down the bowl, got up and went upstairs.
Back in the room, Chen Qingqing lay on the bed, cursing several times, and then saw the Doraemon that Xu Ye gave her on the pillow. She took it and hit it dozens of times with her fist.
At the same time.
On the edge of Nanhu Lake, Xu Ye was arranging the scene:
"Hide these fireworks for me, don't let anyone see them, and then wait for my call at night. When the phone rings, light all the fireworks for me."
"No problem."
"Can it be ignited at the same time?"
"There will definitely be an error, but it will definitely be within five seconds."
"Okay, thank you for your hard work."
"Mr. Xu, my camera may have to be placed over there, and I may not be able to record the front shot, but I can remotely control the drone and take a bird's-eye view shot."
"Okay, can it be taken clearly at night?"
"That's for sure."
"That's good."
After Xu Ye arranged the scene, he met for the first time. When he met Chen Qingqing, he sat down in the seat where Chen Qingqing had sat. He looked at the time and couldn't help but send a message to Chen Qingqing:
"Sorry, the film and television base called me over today for something urgent. I will be done in about an hour. Please bring your household registration book. We will meet at the place where we first met by the South Lake in an hour."
After seeing this message, Chen Qingqing, who had been angry all day, replied quickly: "It's okay, then I will leave at 7:30?"
Xu Ye: "Well, I'll wait for you."
Chen Qingqing quickly got up, asked Jiang Meilin for the household registration book in a shy manner, and then happily took the Bentley car key and went out.
Jiang Meilin didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
Chen Hansong said in a daze: "No, the Civil Affairs Bureau doesn't work at night."
