"Well, he’s not really... oh, he’s not like you think, he’s actually pretty good," Qiao Anlu explained.
Lu Sinian gave her a sidelong glance, "You must have been bullied terribly by Uncle Ning."
"Not at all, he actually bows down to me, okay?"
Lu Sinian rolled his eyes and said nothing.
In the distance, someone shouted to grab the bouquet, and Qiao Anlu patted his shoulder, "Hurry up and go!"
"No way, it’s a bit embarrassing to be this old and finally see my parents get married."
Qiao Anlu glanced at his awkward expression, then turned around, lifted her skirt, and ran over herself.
"Throw it to me, throw it to me, Sister Tongtong, throw it to me!" Shen Congling shouted from the side.
Qiao Anlu looked down at her and asked, "What are you grabbing for?"
"Can’t I grab it?" Shen Congling pulled Li Yi over to her, "Help me out!"
Qiao Anlu sheepishly nodded at Li Yi, "You’ve got guts, brother!"
She glanced around and saw Ning Zesheng standing far away, showing no intention of helping, so she squeezed past Shen Congling and started grabbing for herself.
The bouquet was thrown down all at once, and just as everyone was scrambling for it, Tong Ji Yuan suddenly jumped out and snatched it, then turned around to propose to An Lin.
The crowd started cheering, Qiao Anlu sulked and walked over to Ning Zesheng. Just as he was about to pull her over, she glared at him and awkwardly walked away.
Standing not far away, Tong Ji Yang shook his head, "I didn’t expect Tong Ji Yuan to pull such a move. If I’d known, I would’ve grabbed it too and proposed to you."
"Stop fooling around!" Zhao Anqi nudged him, "You’re at a critical stage right now, don’t stir up trouble."
Even though Tong Ji Yuan had let go of competing for the chief position, Tong Ji Yang had no foundation before, so this was the time to establish himself.
Tong Ji Yang firmly gripped her hand, "Anyway, as long as you’re by my side, once I’m stable, you’ll be the first I marry."
"Tch!" Zhao Anqi rolled her eyes at him, "I think your sister was right; life’s too short, and it’s hard to find someone you like. If you don’t marry me, I’ll team up with your sister against you."
"My sister?" Tong Ji Yang took a deep breath, "Ji Niandong, if it weren’t for Brother Beichen backing her, I wouldn’t be afraid of her. But this time, she’s right!"
Tong Ji Yang leaned over her shoulder, feeling utterly pleased.
Zhao Anqi nudged him, "Watch it; there are quite a few political figures and celebrities here."
...
Qiao Anlu expressed that the baby is really not happy!
She didn’t say a word all the way home until evening.
Ning Zesheng dropped her off at home and said, "Let’s go on a trip tomorrow."
"Go by yourself, I’m going to sleep!" Qiao Anlu pushed him out the door and was about to close it.
Ning Zesheng stretched out his hand and pinched her cheek, "Your temper is getting stronger. Get your passport ready, I’ll pick you up tomorrow!"
"Hmph!"
Although Qiao Anlu said she wouldn’t go, she was full of anticipation when he left, packing her things at home.
Ning Zesheng came to pick her up the next day, and she was all ready to go. Without a word, he took her stuff to the car and drove her to the airport.
"Where are we going?"
"Bali Island!"
"The last time I went was for a magazine shoot, never for a holiday. No, I’ve never had a vacation, always rushing for work."
"Then this time, I’ll make sure you have an unforgettable trip."
