Rong Lan's phone was placed beside her hand so that she could check the messages in time.
Half of the dishes on the table had been eaten. When Rong Lan was holding a porcelain bowl with both hands and sipping the hot chicken soup, the screen of her phone lit up.
Rong Lan didn't open the new message. Instead, she directly turned her head and looked out of the window.
Seeing the drone slowly rising and hovering in the air above the river, she called out to Chu Hengyuan, who was also sipping soup, "Young Master Chu, there seems to be a drone show outside the window."
Chu Hengyuan put down his porcelain bowl and looked out of the window. "Miss Bai and I are really lucky. Judging from this situation, it should be someone trying to propose with a drone show. We can just join in the fun," he said with a smile.
Rong Lan replied with a beaming smile, "It should be. We've just finished our meal. We can see who is so rich as to propose with drones."
Rong · Rich · Lan got up first, holding a teacup, and stood on one side of the window.
Seeing her beaming with excitement, Chu Hengyuan also picked up his teacup and stood on the other side of the window like her.
Hundreds of drones first formed a heart shape in the air.
Rong Lan took a look at the river embankment and found that there were quite a few onlookers gathered there. She could even hear their cheers on the third floor.
Her original plan was to take Chu Hengyuan to the barbecue stalls on the river embankment to have barbecued food and fully blend in with the crowd. She always felt that watching the drone show downstairs with everyone and listening to the cheers around would be more exciting.
However, thinking that taking Chu Hengyuan to a roadside barbecue stall might not show him that she was rich and could support him, she abandoned this plan. Then she set her eyes on the riverside teahouse and later spent a fortune to get the current seat in the teahouse.
"Look, the drones have formed a 'Chu' character." Chu Hengyuan, who was used to drones and usually showed little interest in them, couldn't help but get a bit interested when he saw the character 'Chu'. He pointed at it and showed it to Rong Lan.
Rong Lan looked at the character 'Chu'. On the surface, she remained calm, but deep down, she heaved a sigh of relief.
Thank goodness. Seeing the character 'Chu', she could confirm that this was the drone show she had booked.
"What a coincidence. The surname 'Chu' is not very common. How could there be someone with the same surname?" Rong Lan pretended to be oblivious and joked with a smile.
After forming the character 'Chu', the drones gradually changed their formation and formed the character 'Heng'.
Rong Lan looked at the drones and nodded in satisfaction.
There were no mistakes. Next, they should form a sentence character by character - "Chu Hengyuan, marry me!"
Great!
Just as she secretly praised herself for being so smart and coming up with such a high - tech and romantic way of proposing, Rong Lan suddenly realized something was wrong.
If she remembered correctly, she seemed to have accidentally sent the wrong request to the technicians. The normal line should be "Chu Hengyuan, marry me" instead of what she sent to the technicians, which was...
"Chu Hengyuan, marry me (as a bride)..."
Chu Hengyuan himself, who had seen the complete sentence "Chu Hengyuan, marry me", turned his head to look at Rong Lan. A polite but embarrassed smile reappeared on his face. "This should be your arrangement, Miss Bai?"
When he saw his name formed by the drones, he knew there was something fishy.
His schedule today was completely confidential. Except for Rong Lan, no one else knew where he was.
Because he didn't know he would come to the riverside teahouse until he picked up Rong Lan at the airport.
Excluding the possibility that Rong Lan was helping someone else propose, there was only one possibility left - this was a drone show designed by Rong Lan herself.
Rong Lan covered her face and was a bit reluctant to admit it.
She thought that Chu Hengyuan might be happy if he saw the sentence "Chu Hengyuan, marry me", but he definitely wouldn't be happy seeing "Chu Hengyuan, marry me (as a bride)".
She took a deep breath and summoned up the courage to admit, "It's me, but it's a beautiful accident! I may have stayed up too late recently and accidentally sent the wrong request to the technicians. This wasn't the sentence I originally wanted to say to you."
The jeers of the onlookers on the river embankment clearly reached Rong Lan's ears, making her feel even more ashamed.
She forced herself to stay calm and looked intently at Chu Hengyuan, hoping that he could see her sincerity. "I know you have someone you like, but I still want to give it a try. I may not be able to give you much now, but in the future, I will work hard. I'll try to buy you a new car within half a year and let you live a life where you can buy whatever you want within a year. I hope you can think it over carefully. If you agree to marry me, I will definitely treat you well in the future and won't let you suffer the slightest bit of grievance!"
Rong Lan almost used all the proposal lines she had scraped from the Internet.
This was the first time the five - hundred - year - old fox had made such a promise. No matter how hard she tried to stay calm, she couldn't quite manage it.
After listening to her speech, Chu Hengyuan put away his fake smile and looked seriously at the little girl whose face was flushed with nervousness.
To be honest, if he could see even a bit of shyness in her eyes, he would have said yes.
But there was none!
The little girl at this moment seemed to be waiting to complete some important task, and he was the key to whether she could complete it. So she was nervous, but not shy.
Moreover, her words sounded a bit strange to him. Wasn't this supposed to be what he said to her?
He was a good - for - nothing playboy, but he wasn't so useless that he needed a girl who had just graduated for a year to support him!
Rong Lan waited for a minute but didn't get a reply from Chu Hengyuan. She thought she had failed, so she shifted her gaze and was about to say something to ease the awkward atmosphere. Before she could come up with a topic, Chu Hengyuan smiled and said, "Okay. Let's get married."
Life was so boring. He had to learn to seize the interesting things that broke into his life.
Rong Lan: "???"
She was shocked. Her gaze returned to Chu Hengyuan's face. She was almost blinded by the overly gentle smile on the man's face. "You agreed so easily?"
Hearing this, Chu Hengyuan turned his head to look at the drones that were now forming a ring. "I didn't agree easily. This is the result of my careful consideration."
"What about the person you like?" Rong Lan asked.
Chu Hengyuan was silent for three seconds. He wished he could travel back in time and punch himself for speaking nonsense back then. If he had known this would happen, he shouldn't have lied about having someone he liked. Now, he couldn't very well tell her that he had lied to her, as that would leave a bad impression on her.
Rong Lan misinterpreted Chu Hengyuan's silence. "I'm very serious about getting married. Young Master Chu, don't play any tricks like having an affair with your true love after marriage."
