The production team seized the opportunity to stir up a fire, and the heat of the third episode was unprecedented.
The team also contributed several trending topics to Weibo.
"How Can I Not Be Moved finale recording#"
"Hai City drone marriage proposal#"
"Qiao Xi I love you#"
"Shen Dang draws eyebrows for Qiao Xi on the show#"
"Qiao Xi Shen Dang remarried#"
Tonight’s spectacular fireworks and the drone proposal were just too sensational.
Many bystanders captured the scene of Shen Dang’s proposal.
The video spread across all major video platforms in no time at all.
In the video were brilliant fireworks, a cruise ship filled with flowers and balloons sailing on the river, and the moment Shen Dang got down on one knee to propose to Qiao Xi.
Netizens were both envious and admiring.
"This is the world of the wealthy, right? Ordinary people just keep working honestly, envy is useless!"
"Seeing others happy really can make one cry."
"Fiction mirrors reality."
"Some are born in Rome, others struggle in vain for survival without finding a way out."
"Seeing the young master’s proposal, this old servant is truly happy from the bottom of my heart!"
"This is their Hai City and our Hai City. Everywhere are flowers. When I see flowers, they are not flowers; but when I watch them, they are still flowers."
The resonance was so strong that this comment received the highest number of likes and shot to the top as the most popular.
At four in the morning, all was silent.
Shen Dang had soothed Qiao Xi to sleep and took out his phone to post on Weibo.
There were still night owls surfing the web late into the night, who, out of curiosity, clicked on Shen Dang’s Weibo and were met with a face full of affection.
Spilling that bowl of dog food!
Qiao Xi woke up in Shen Dang’s arms.
The environment around her still seemed somewhat unfamiliar, yet the man’s embrace was very comforting to her, making her feel too lazy to even move.
Looking at the sky outside, it was obviously no longer early.
Shen Dang was still sleeping, his thick eyelashes casting a shadow beneath his eyelids. Even asleep, he looked very handsome, his fierce demeanor all retracted, now like a well-behaved civet.
She couldn’t lie in bed any longer, or she might not get up at all today.
Qiao Xi reached for her phone, but suddenly caught sight of the diamond ring on her finger. She pulled her hand closer to stare at the ring, and a smile appeared on her delicate features.
She had wanted to take off the ring last night, but Shen Dang wouldn’t let her.
At the most passionate moment, Qiao Xi still remembered the strength of Shen Dang pressing her fingers firmly down on the bed.
As if it pierced right through her heart.
The ring had hurt a bit, but it seemed to trigger something that made her tremble even more, unable to stop for a long time. New ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄhapters are published on ɴovᴇl(F)ɪre.ɴet
Even now, that sensation could still make her feel numb.
Qiao Xi shook off the images in her mind and stretched her arm toward the phone, but Shen Dang’s hand reached out from under the covers, holding onto her wrist.
Qiao Xi paused and looked at him, "You’re awake?"
As she spoke, she realized her voice was incredibly hoarse.
Qiao Xi froze, then felt a wave of embarrassment.
Just how wild had they been last night!
Shen Dang slightly narrowed his eyes, his demeanor lazy, "Sleep a bit more?"
"I want to see what time it is."
The phone was on the bedside table on his side, and Shen Dang handed it to her, "It’s past eleven."
They had actually slept so late!
"Then we should get up."
Shen Dang turned over and buried his face in her neck, blocking her movements, "Tired."
Sticky and whiny, like he was throwing a tantrum.
Qiao Xi chuckled softly and stroked his head, "Then you sleep a bit more, I’ll go make breakfast... well, lunch now."
Shen Dang’s arms braced on either side of her body, his eyes fixed on her face, "What do you want to eat? I’ll make it."
Upon waking, this man was like a drowsy lion opening its eyes–seeming harmless but naturally dangerous.
Maybe he was plotting something.
"I’ll make it," said Qiao Xi, "I suddenly feel like making you breakfast today. How about noodles? Are there ingredients downstairs?"
She needed to get away from this bed.
"There are, I had someone prepare them."
Qiao Xi pushed him away and Shen Dang rolled over to the side.
Without even looking at him, Qiao Xi left the master bedroom with a hint of a flee-the-scene vibe.
Shen Dang lay back, hands behind his head, leisurely watching her retreat.
The first floor was designed to be clean and simple, with floor-to-ceiling windows leading to the terrace, blending interior and exterior views while providing excellent natural light and vistas.
The weather was nice today, and sunlight streamed through the windows onto the floor.
The kitchen was semi-open, with a bar and wine cabinet. Next to the bar was the dining table, where sunshine also danced.
This scene lifted Qiao Xi’s spirits.
Qiao Xi stood by, waiting for the water to boil when she finally saw a slew of messages as she unlocked her phone.
Messages on Weibo, WeChat, and missed calls.
Qiao Xi first clicked into Weibo and immediately saw Shen Dang’s post on her homepage.
"Shen Dang: my lover."
The picture showed their hands interlocked, the wedding rings on their fingers shining, displaying their happiness for everyone to see.
Looking at the time, it was posted a little past four in the morning.
Thinking of something, Qiao Xi’s face heated.
Qiao Xi liked his Weibo post and then exited the app, next opening WeChat.
Messages from Su Tutu sent an hour ago: "Still not awake?"
"Qu Keke: When are you and Brother Dang going to hand out wedding candies?"
"Qu Jiashu: Blessed with children soon."
"Jiang Yongge: Wishing the boss’s wife happiness!"
"Qin Mo: Blessings to you, Qiao Xi."
"Tang Honghe: Sister-in-law, do you know what people in the circle are saying?"
Last night’s sensational act by Shen Dang had not only stunned people in the entertainment circle but had also spread throughout Hai City’s high society.
Qiao Xi replied to her friends’ messages one by one and sent Tang Honghe a question mark at last.
The water was boiling now, and Qiao Xi put down her phone, skillfully adding the noodles and some greens into the pot.
Right then, Tang Honghe was on a call with Shen Dang.
He teased, "You spent a lot on that dramatic proposal last night. Everyone’s saying they’re too scared to propose to their girlfriends now. With your precedent set, nothing else will measure up. Brother Dang, you’re setting the bar as the ideal man!"
Tang Honghe had been nearly whipped by Qu Keke last night, who demanded to know how he would propose to her, insisting it couldn’t be less impressive than Shen Dang’s proposal to Qiao Xi, given that she was the Qu Family’s princess.
Tang Honghe promised on the spot not to let her down, managing to survive the crisis.
Shen Dang stood on the balcony smoking casually, "Are you done?"
"... Don’t you have anything to say?"
Shen Dang had planned the proposal himself, how could he be so calm?
"Nothing, is there anything else? If not, I’m hanging up."
He then didn’t wait for Tang Honghe to reply before hanging up.
He hadn’t even said anything yet!
In the afternoon, Shen Dang took Qiao Xi out, not bringing a driver or assistant, and drove himself.
"Shen Dang, where are you taking me?" Qiao Xi asked.
Shen Dang smiled at her, "That place I’ve wanted to take you. Do you remember?"
