Forbidden to Flirt and Run 43p2

Chapter 43 p2

Jiang Wan arranged for the makeup and styling. Because one of the scenes she wanted was of a beauty sleeping in a field of roses, and she disliked the props and post-production effects for not being realistic enough, the shooting location was arranged outdoors.

It was a ginkgo forest, surrounding a long stream. When everyone arrived, it was exactly five in the afternoon.

The weather had been good recently. In the evening, the wind and clouds were surging, and large patches of dense twilight shrouded the forest, the colors bright and brilliant.

Besides the field of roses, there were also all kinds of balloons placed around, intertwined with the ginkgo trees and the evening clouds, creating a very romantic feeling.

Just as Xu Qingtang got out of the car, she took out her phone to take a picture, planning to send it to Gu Yizhi.

Recently, she had been obsessed with photography. Even though her skills had not improved at all, she was still enjoying it. And as she was holding her phone, Tang Gui also took a picture of Xu Qingtang.

After taking it, she sent it to Xu Qingtang’s WeChat and said with a grin, “I think your Gu Yizhi would probably rather see this.”

Xu Qingtang thought it made sense. “I’ll send it to her later.”

The scene was already set. Xu Qingtang was wearing a cloud-like light purple gauze dress, her long hair tied up, her makeup bright. She slowly lay down in a field of roses.

The photographer reminded from the side, “Good, very good. Close your eyes first. When I say ‘open,’ you can slowly open them.”

Xu Qingtang closed her eyes as instructed.

It was very quiet around. After waiting for a long time, she still hadn’t heard the photographer’s voice. Instead, she clearly heard a series of footsteps, and could clearly feel the owner of the voice stop beside her.

The sound of the wind, the sound of the water, and the rustling of clothes. This was not the original script. Xu Qingtang couldn’t help but open her eyes.

Xu Qingtang was lying on her side. When she opened her eyes, in the sky where the clouds and the evening glow were colliding, she saw Gu Yizhi wearing a white long dress, like a white eustoma, standing in front of her, gentle and romantic.

Xu Qingtang propped herself up. The large group of people who had been surrounding her just now were gone. She looked around and asked, “Why are you here?”

Gu Yizhi suddenly smiled at her.

Xu Qingtang: “What are you laughing at?”

Gu Yizhi slowly bent down to be at eye level with her. “Nothing. I was originally going to propose to you, but after seeing you, I wanted to say that you’re so beautiful today first.”

Xu Qingtang’s heart beat a little faster. She had guessed it the moment she saw Gu Yizhi. She feigned composure on the surface. “Is that so?”

Gu Yizhi pulled Xu Qingtang up from the ground, and from somewhere, she produced a pair of rings, and looked at Xu Qingtang gently. “Then is the beautiful Miss Xu still willing to accept my proposal?”

Xu Qingtang’s heart was sweetened by her. “Since your mouth is so sweet, then I’ll reluctantly give you a fiancée.”

Xu Qingtang was wearing a pair of thin and high heels today. As Gu Yizhi was putting the ring on her hand, she leaned close to her ear. “I’m willing.”

Bang—

The sound of party poppers suddenly came from all directions, and colorful ribbons fluttered down, bringing a touch of liveliness to this gentle twilight. Jiang Wan and the others, who had been hiding in the distance, quickly came over to celebrate.

Jiang Wan held a camera, framed the two of them in the lens, and said as she pressed the shutter, “Gu Yizhi, Little Qingtang has agreed to marry you. Shouldn’t you treat us to a meal at a time like this?”

Of course, she had to treat them to a meal.

After having someone clean up the scene, the group returned to Lin City and had a lively dinner. It was already ten at night.

Xu Qingtang privately asked Jiang Wan for a few photos from the daytime. Jiang Wan put her arm around Xu Qingtang’s shoulder. Just as she was about to pat her, her arm was pushed aside by Gu Yizhi. “Tangtang is tired. Don’t mess around.”

Jiang Wan: ?

“Is Qingtang tired or is someone jealous?”

Jiang Wan scoffed and walked to the side. “Qingtang, you should control her. By the way, I’ve sent the photos to your WeChat. Take a look.”

Xu Qingtang opened WeChat and looked at them. Both she and Gu Yizhi were photographed very beautifully. She was very satisfied and nodded. “Thank you, Jiang Wan.”

“No need,” Jiang Wan said. “As long as you two are happy.”

After the dinner party, Xu Qingtang picked the one she was most satisfied with and posted it on her Moments: [I have a fiancée now]

Friend A: !?

Colleague B: !?

Leader C: !?

Senior Sister: Transfer money!!!

Colleague D replied to Senior Sister: Tell me quickly!

Senior Sister replied to Colleague D: Literally.

Colleague D replied to Senior Sister: I need a moment.

Senior Sister replied to Colleague D: The fiancée is a beauty!

Colleague D replied to Senior Sister: No need for a moment. I ship it!

Xu Qingtang: …

After returning home, Xu Qingtang took off her high heels and stepped barefoot on the wooden floor. As Gu Yizhi was closing the door, she stood behind her. When the two of them were face to face, she finally couldn’t help but kiss her.

This was something she had wanted to do all day.

This feeling was strongest when Gu Yizhi had asked her if she was willing.

But since they were outside, she could only restrain herself.

The two of them went from the door to the bedroom. Xu Qingtang was very passionate today, both in her emotions and her actions.

Da.

As she bent down to open the bedside table, her movements suddenly stopped. She turned back to look at Gu Yizhi, her expression becoming aggrieved.

Gu Yizhi couldn’t help but laugh. “That’s it?”

Xu Qingtang closed the cabinet. “Not this one.”

She had just found the pair of rings she had bought a few days ago. She walked to Gu Yizhi and held them out in her palm for her to see. “Here, I was originally planning to propose to you, but I had just gotten a little bit of an idea, and you proposed first.”

Gu Yizhi glanced at the rings and asked, amused, “How did you plan to propose?”

“I wanted to wait until spring, when the roses we planted had bloomed, and then propose. I would have decorated the surroundings with small balloons, with words I had written on them. Ah, why does it sound so tacky when I say it out loud?”

She had thought it was quite romantic when she had thought about it in her mind.

She then took out a notebook from the table, opened a page, and said, “I’ve been practicing my calligraphy like crazy recently.”

On it was written densely—

Miss Gu, when spring comes, while the wind and moon are gentle, I would like to travel with you. I hope you will agree.

This was a request, and also a response to the Gu Yizhi of that time.

“Alright, it’s useless now.”

And she had compared the rings she and Gu Yizhi had prepared. As the saying goes, no comparison, no harm. Gu Yizhi’s was a five-carat pink diamond, with excellent craftsmanship and design. The dazzling fire also clearly told Xu Qingtang that it was very expensive.

In comparison, hers was much worse.

Xu Qingtang shook her head and sighed. “Such a direct wealth gap.”

Gu Yizhi took the rings from her palm and, without hesitation, replaced the one she was wearing. “They’re very beautiful. You have good taste.”

“The one I bought is too exaggerated for daily use. The one you bought is just right. We can wear this one on important occasions.”

Xu Qingtang thought this was a good suggestion. After putting away the diamond ring, she suddenly remembered something and turned back to stare at Gu Yizhi. “By the way, I forgot to ask. You said you were going to transfer money into the card last time. How much are you planning to transfer each month?”

Gu Yizhi took her hand and wrote a number. Xu Qingtang was shocked to see the six zeros behind it. “You, you, you, no, seriously, are you embezzling public funds?”

Gu Yizhi pinched her cheek. “What are you thinking?”

“Isn’t that very normal? You see this kind of thing in the news all the time.”

Gu Yizhi was helpless. “I’ve always been very law-abiding.”

Xu Qingtang mumbled, “The 80/20 rule really doesn’t lie.”

Gu Yizhi lifted Xu Qingtang onto the table. The window was half-open, and the outermost layer of white gauze was gently blown by the night wind. She glanced at Xu Qingtang again. “What did you just say?”

Of course, Xu Qingtang shook her head. “Nothing.”

The night wind blew, and a chill slowly seeped in, but Xu Qingtang felt a warmth in her heart.

She looked out the window. Outside was the brilliant neon night scene. “What a pity. There are no stars tonight.”

Gu Yizhi smiled. “I didn’t know Xu Tangtang had the ambition to pluck the stars and the moon.”

Xu Qingtang said in a low voice, “It’s good to just look at them if you can’t pluck them.”

“Can’t pluck them?” Gu Yizhi held Xu Qingtang’s face, her voice very soft. “It seems I have.”

Xu Qingtang’s face turned slightly red.

She leaned her face against Gu Yizhi’s palm, her hands on the edge of the table, her eyes fixed on Gu Yizhi’s dark and deep eyes. “I think I’ve seen it too.”

The notebook was blown by the wind, and another page of densely written “Miss Gu” was revealed.

Gu Yizhi seemed not to have heard clearly. “Hm?”

Xu Qingtang leaned over, close to her ear. “I love you.”

“I love you too.”
