Chapter 590: Chapter 586: Proposal?

”Exactly, exactly, brother-in-law, Manman is right, you better kiss Sis quickly. You know, ever since you left, every night Sister has been dreaming about you, or she just stares at the spot where you usually sleep,”

Bai Weiwei heard Mandala’s words and kept nodding to the side, her lips curling up into a wicked smile. When Lu Tianxing and Bai Zhiqing were about to kiss, should she take out her phone to snap a photo, playing the part of a photographer?

It seems like a really good idea!

”Wife, is it true what Weiwei said? Have you really been calling out my name in your dreams?”

Lu Tianxing looked at Bai Zhiqing with a smile and said, ”Wife, then tell me, should I do as Weiwei and Manman suggest and give you a fiery, romantic kiss~ to soothe your longing heart?”

”Sure.”

”Go ahead.”

Before Bai Zhiqing could speak, two eager voices chimed in from the side.

Bai Zhiqing turned her head to look and saw Bai Weiwei and Mandala staring wide-eyed in anticipation, Bai Weiwei even clutching a cell phone ready for a live photo shoot.

Bai Zhiqing’s cheeks couldn’t help but turn red as she quickly pushed away Lu Tianxing, who was holding her, and turned towards the couch.

”My goodness, these two girls are too much. Looks like I need to find time to teach them a strict lesson, letting them know not all affairs they can be part of.”

Lu Tianxing’s face was streaked with frustration as he watched Bai Weiwei and Mandala; just when he was about to steal a kiss, the two girls had spoiled it. Were these two girls sent by God to punish him?

Sensing Lu Tianxing’s murderous gaze, Mandala and Bai Weiwei adorably stuck out their tongues, looking so cute that it was hard to be angry at them.

Bai Zhiqing sat on the sofa and watched the scene unfold, a slight smile on her lips as she asked, ”How did it go? Is it sorted out?”

”It’s taken care of. With the support of Yanhuang Group’s intel, I found the guy quite easily; otherwise, I couldn’t have returned so quickly,” Lu Tianxing said with a smile.

”That’s good then, don’t take such risks in the future.”

Bai Zhiqing nodded, inwardly letting out a sigh of relief, seeing that Lu Tianxing seemed unharmed.

”Bro, how long have you been back, and did you bring any gifts with you?” Mandala suddenly piped in.

Lu Tianxing, puzzled, asked, ”Does it make a difference?”

”Of course, there is a difference. When someone’s boyfriend goes on a trip, he brings gifts back for his girlfriend, which shows he keeps her in his heart. But if you come back from a trip and don’t bring anything for your girlfriend, it means you haven’t kept Sister Zhiqing in your heart. And you know better than anyone what the consequences of not keeping Sister Zhiqing in your heart are,” Mandala said with a smile.

”You’re not wrong.”

Lu Tianxing nodded and decisively pulled out a beautifully wrapped gift box from his pocket. The box wasn’t large, roughly the size of a palm, and handed it to Bai Zhiqing, saying, ”Wife, this is the gift I bought for you. Let’s see if you like it.”

As soon as Bai Zhiqing saw Lu Tianxing take out the gift box, a bright spark shot through her beautiful eyes. This was, after all, the first gift she had received from Lu Tianxing since they had met, and there was a faint excitement in her heart, eager to see what Lu Tianxing had brought for her.

”Sister Zhiqing, hurry and open it to see. Let’s see what my brother has brought you,” Mandala exclaimed.

Although Bai Weiwei didn’t speak, her eyes were filled with curiosity; she was very keen to see what her brother-in-law would give her sister.

A palm-sized box—could it possibly contain sanitary napkins!!

Bai Weiwei maliciously guessed in her heart.

”Open it and see if you like it,” Lu Tianxing said with a smile.

”Alright.”

Bai Zhiqing gently nodded, took the gift box from Lu Tianxing, unwrapped the outer packaging, and opened the box. As soon as she saw what was inside, Bai Zhiqing was briefly stunned, disbelief on her pretty face.

Inside the box was a women’s diamond ring, exquisitely crafted, captivating at first glance.

”Lu Tianxing, this... this...”

”This is a ring I carefully selected for you. Do you like it?” Lu Tianxing walked over to Bai Zhiqing, smiling as he spoke.

”For me?”

Bai Zhiqing looked at Lu Tianxing with some disbelief, she was no fool and knew exactly what it meant when a man offered a ring to a woman.

”Of course. We’ve been married for so long and I’ve never bought you a ring before. Today I’m making it up to you. Do you like it? Try it on and see if it fits.”

A bright light burst forth in Bai Zhiqing’s eyes, and her lips curved into a radiant smile. Just as she picked up the ring and was about to slip it on, she heard Mandala’s voice beside her, ”Sister Zhiqing, you mustn’t wear it.”

With everyone’s gaze falling on her, Mandala spoke slowly, ”Sister Zhiqing, since ancient times, when a man buys a diamond ring for a woman, it’s obviously to propose to the woman he loves. Although you and Brother-in-law are married, Sister Zhiqing, you don’t have a wedding ring, which means Brother-in-law has not formally proposed to you. If you wear it, you might regret it for life. So, you must let Brother-in-law put the ring on you and propose properly.”

Hearing Mandala’s words, Bai Zhiqing’s movements stiffened as a look of anticipation appeared on her face. Mandala was right; there are only a few days in a woman’s life worth reminiscing over – falling in love, getting proposed to, stepping into the sanctity of matrimony. These are the experiences every woman should go through, the memories worth cherishing for a lifetime.

And now, she had missed out on dating and being proposed to—two significant life experiences. Although she had accepted Lu Tianxing in her heart, lacking a proposal was a gap in any woman’s life.

”Brother-in-law, what are you waiting for, hurry up, can’t you see Sister is waiting for you?” Bai Weiwei called out anxiously. She suddenly realized how clueless her brother-in-law was—it was such a lack of romance.

Upon hearing these words, Lu Tianxing looked up at Bai Zhiqing; he clearly sensed the anticipation in her eyes and suddenly came to his senses. Taking Bai Zhiqing’s ring, he began to speak slowly, ”Wife, Manman is right. It should be me putting this ring on you because you are Lu Tianxing’s wife. I may not have Sun Wukong’s powers, nor the ability to reach the heavens and the earth, I’m just an ordinary man. Maybe I don’t possess unparalleled wealth or hold the power over all people, and I can’t provide you with the life of a queen or princess, but I can give you safety. I promise you, as long as I, Lu Tianxing, am alive, no one can harm you. Even if I die, I will die before you, because before that I will block every enemy for you...”

Listening to Lu Tianxing’s words, Bai Zhiqing tightly covered her mouth, struggling not to cry out loud. Perhaps Lu Tianxing’s words did not contain any grand vows, nor tender phrasing, nor deep affectionate gazes, but this man proved time and again with actual actions that his words were not empty promises. Every time danger arose, it was this man who stood in front of her, blocking all harm and shielding her from the storm.

”So romantic!”

Mandala and Bai Weiwei held hands, their faces filled with excitement as they watched the scene unfold, fantasizing that one day someone would propose to them too.

”Wife, this time I want to tell you, I love you. Will you marry me? I want to hold your hand, and walk together until the end of time.”

”Yes.”

Bai Zhiqing did not hesitate and nodded vigorously. Although Lu Tianxing was not the perfect husband she had dreamt of, with countless flaws, he was undeniably the man she could entrust her life to. The perfect man would always remain in dreams, not reality.

Lu Tianxing said nothing more but got down on one knee, slowly taking Bai Zhiqing’s left hand, ready to slip the ring onto her finger.

”Stop.”

As Lu Tianxing was about to put the ring on Bai Zhiqing, Mandala, who was next to them urging Bai Wei to record the moment, suddenly shouted, ”Bro, are you really naive or just pretending? Do you want countless men to pursue Sister Zhiqing?”

Lu Tianxing was taken aback, ”What do you mean?”

Hearing this, Bai Wei, who had been recording without speaking, also couldn’t help but speak up, ”Brother-in-law, internationally, there is a convention to wearing rings. Placing a ring on the index finger signifies being single. If you dare put the ring on the index finger, I guarantee Sister Zhiqing will have a horde of suitors the next day. Of course, if you’re confident you can defeat all the suitors, then suit yourself.”

”Eh, is wearing a ring this complicated?”

Lu Tianxing was speechless. It was his first time putting a ring on a woman’s finger, and he was certainly not accustomed to it. If it were up to him, wherever the ring fitted best he’d put it, no stress at all – all ten fingers could be filled, no pressure.

”Of course, there are customs to follow. The index finger signifies singlehood, the middle finger represents being in a relationship, the ring finger indicates engaged or married, and the little finger signifies single. These are the universally accepted standards for wearing rings—got it?”

After speaking, Mandala and Bai Weiwei exchanged glances, both seeing a certain exasperation in each other’s eyes. They felt the need to set aside time to educate Lu Tianxing on these basics to avoid embarrassment in the future.

”Then I’ll put it on the ring finger.”

Lu Tianxing touched his nose, took the ring, and once again moved to place it on Bai Zhiqing’s left ring finger.

At this moment, Bai Zhiqing’s beautiful face was flushed with blush. She knew very well that once Lu Tianxing placed this diamond ring on her, she would have no way to change her mind for life, but she had no regrets, letting Lu Tianxing slowly slide the ring onto her ring finger.
