“A mere misunderstanding. That’s all!” Su Ni lowers her voice. She has to win Gu Zechen over to her side before Eshine takes action. Otherwise, if she lets this woman strike first, she’ll be in the doghouse. “Su Ni, don’t sling mud at me!” Eshine looks nervous. Flashing a warning glance at Su Ni, at the same time, she shrinks instinctively upon the Gu Zechen’s eyes turned upon her. “Tell me what happened”. Gu Zechen raises his voice. ” Eshine and I just talked about the scene when you proposed to me, and she didn’t believe what I said.” Su Ni waggles Gu Zechen’s arm, as if being wronged and complaining just like a spoiled child. Gu Zechen speaks with a note of reproach, “Is this the whole picture?” A look of pure disbelief crosses Eshine’s face. Gu Zechen also proposed marriage to her? “You didn’t even have a wedding, did you?” Eshine blurts out. Su Ni shakes the ring on one hand, stroking it with the other, and looks at Gu Zechen with a smile. “We just try to keep our marriage low-key at that time. Just a few days ago, Zechen put this wedding ring on my finger…” Su Ni intentionally leaves the sentence unfinished, leaving infinite room for fantasies. Eshine looks defeated, her mind completely distracted, and forgets how Su Ni offended and humiliated her just minutes ago. Instead, she stares at Gu Zechen and asks, “Is that true?”. Seeing Eshine behaving in such a manner, Gu Zechen completely believes Su Ni’s words. Seeing so many people gathering around watching, Su Ni realizes now it is time to move in for the kill. She shakes Gu Zechen’s arm again, this time acting in a pettishly charming manner and being very dramatic: “My darling, since Eshine doesn’t believe you did that, will you kneel down to propose again?”

Kneel down? Gu Zechen’s brows knitting together, he exchanges a glance with Su Ni quickly as if warning her not to go too far. The ring is of no special meaning and he has clearly explained that to Su Ni. “Cut it out!.” Gu Zechen reminds her in a low voice. “Your duty today is to impress your guests with an elegant party and any small mistake will result in a disaster.” Come on, darling, the guests here say they don’t believe you can do that, they say it is not your style, tell them they are wrong. As for myself, I also want to relive that moment. This is the sweetest and most unforgettable memory in my life!” Su Ni looks at Gu Zechen affectionately, her eyes shining with excitement. Su Ni is certain that there exists a certain tacit understanding between her and Gu Zechen. She is sure that the latter knows there must be something behind such a rare and unusual act of Su Ni for insisting on his putting on such a public show of affection, and he will not blame her for doing that. Moreover, she also wants to see what kind of attitude Gu Zechen will take to Eshine actually. “Mr. Gu, you should consent to your wife’s request and propose to her. What’s more we all want to see it.” Other quests begin to chime in. With more and more people joining in, the hall is filled with the echo of people. Looking around, Gu Zechen rests his eyes on Su Ni, but this time with a look of resignation. Su Ni looks back at him with a smile, “Darling, come on!” ” Mr. Gu keeps such a low-profile approach to his marriage. He doesn’t even inform the media about it. Sort of satisfy our curiosity this time.” Some people are joking. “Well, today I’m going to witness that romantic moment with my own eyes. This will give me good stuffs to boast about.” A lady around him also echoes. Women by nature love to gossip. Even she moves up the social ladder into upper class, this nature will never change.

Now Su Ni is apparently in an advantageous position now. With Gu Zechen standing behind

the women present. Gu Zechen lifts the corner of his mouth and looks arrogant. He takes the ring from Su Ni’s hand and sways in front of everyone. Eshine is afraid to see what will happen next, instinctively she takes a step forward. Recovering a little by now, she pauses. She realizes now she can only stop Gu Zechen with her eyes. “Don’t make a scene! For one thing, Mrs Gu was married to Mr. Gu long ago. For another, it is nothing but a ring… There is no need to make a fuss.” Eshine says. Gu Zechen raises his head and casts a dissatisfied look at Eshine. Suddenly, he falls on one knee in front of Su Ni. “Since my wife is interested in repeating the history, I certainly don’t mind. Besides, maybe it has some extra benefits! You never know what will happen! Maybe those rumors may die down. So why not?” Gu Zechen says with a tone that doesn’t reveal his emotion, his voice not loud, but loud enough to have his message conveyed. Su Ni, who seconds ago smiles with a winning beam on her face, is also shocked by what she sees at that moment. Subconsciously, she takes two steps back, her eyes filled with unspeakable emotions. Eshine is also taken aback, she is very embarrassed at such a scene. The eyes of the people cast upon her make her feel very embarrassed. No, she feels embarrassed for Xu Wan’er.

This is the way a man is, a leopard can never change its spots. Gu Zechen is no exception. Who says that? The heart that once truly loves never forgets! Barely three years has passed, he has already fallen for another woman. Trying to retain a bit of pride, Eshine makes her way to the door, with her eyes staring blankly ahead and her body stiff and erect. Gu Zechen holds Su Ni’s hand. Her fingers are like green onions, white and slender. He gives her hand a gentle squeeze. Out of the corner of his eye, he catches a glimpse of Eshine’s departure. His look remaining unchanged, he gazes into Su Ni in her eyes. The latter makes a quick evasive contact, showing a sign of discomfort and immediately looks away. He says in a voice that only he and Su Ni can hear: “So, this time are you satisfied?” Su Ni looks stiff. Is he angry? Is he angry with her or with Eshine? Since Eshine leaves, the show loses its original meaning and suddenly becomes dull. But the party seems to be more lively than ever before, with all the people gathering together, laughing and teasing. With so many eyes cast upon them, Su Ni has no other alternative but to continue the show by summoning up all her courage. She starts it first, there is no way of coming back! Casting a quick glance at Eshine’s back, she stretches out her hand, raises her voice, and says with a dramatic and exaggerated voice as if overwhelmed with excitement: “Look! This is the way my husband knelt down in front of me the other day and put on the ring for me. Although we are married for many years, he doesn’t forget to perform small gestures of affection like this on a regular basis.” She says, deliberately showing a shy smile, and covers her mouth, which causes a burst of surprise in the crowd. At the other side of the room, Eshine’s body stiffens, and then she scurries out of the house.

Gu Zechen refrains from making known his attitude, his face showing neither approval nor disapproval. After that, he gently grasps Su Ni’s fingertip and puts on the ring for her. They make a quick eye contact. His eyes are still cold, which are in sharp contrast to Su Ni’s. At this time, the audience breaks into bursts of warm applause, which drowns Su Ni’s embarrassment. “Kiss her!” In the crowd, someone starts to shout. Inspired, soon everyone begins to clap their hands and shout: “Kiss her, kiss her.” Su Ni and Gu Zechen exchange a glance. The former’s cheek becomes more and more ruddy, and her eyes are even more shy. The latter, however, who seems to be beyond all caution now, just like a robot who is going to finish the rest of the show, lifts her face with both hands and presses his lip against hers. Su Ni’s body stiffens in an instant. Her mind totally blank, she finds the world quieting down, now all the noises around fading. It is quiet enough to hear their own breathing. Su Ni opens her eyes suddenly and then closes her eyes again tightly because she sees Gu Zechen, who remains calm, kissing her with his eyes closed. His kiss isn’t a French kiss, not as warm and domineering as usual. It is just a quick kiss, with his lip touching the lips of Su Ni like a dragonfly skipping across the surface of the water. But even so, the faint scent sent out from his body is so enchanting that it almost carries Su Ni away. She can’t help but embrace Gu Zechen’s shoulder tightly. Suddenly, Gu Zechen stops kissing, suddenly he brings himself standing side by side with Su Ni and puts her hands into his.
