Chapter 178 I hope you will marry me
The employees below had never seen the chairman in person, so they didn't react. Chen Yuan's brain was down for only half a second. After waking up, he pulled Wei Zhen aside and said:

"Do you have this kind of cosplay in your store? They will interact with customers."

"Ah... no, it wasn't the store manager who invited me, right?" Wei Zhen scratched his head.

"Who are you then? You must have recognized the wrong person..."

Chen Yuan looked at the woman and said.

"That might be... a mistake."

The woman was stunned, a hint of embarrassment appeared on her face, and then she took the initiative to give way.

She watched Chen Yuan walk down with another friend, their shoes clacking on the escalator, without moving her eyes away. Even though Chen Yuan had changed out of his formal suit after coming back from the company and was now wearing only a plush coat with long sleeves, how could she forget the person she had just met in the morning?

Besides, Chen Yuan's appearance is very iconic because he is too young and immature.

During the early morning meeting, this woman secretly discussed the appearance of the not-so-young chairman with her colleagues, and she was secretly infatuated with him.

Now I am pretending not to know him, maybe there is some special reason.

The originally quiet store was noisy again. Everyone saw this group of people dressed decently and thought there was some gossip to be had. But in the end, nothing happened. Everyone turned their eyes away in disappointment and went about their own business.

Seeing the two people's backs walking away.

A woman in a white shirt came forward and asked, "Director, who is that?"

"Didn't you hear me address you?" The woman in a tight skirt with earrings raised her chin towards Chen Yuan's back, "That young man is our chairman."

"Is this true?!" Several people were so shocked that their jaws dropped.

"How is it possible at such a young age!"

"You're not wrong, are you?"

"I saw it during the meeting, how could it be false?" They looked away and continued to walk up the stairs.

The big bald guy who came to rob the shop was still staring there, not knowing what was going on.

I couldn't understand what they were discussing.

"He looks like a college student. How can he be our chairman at such a young age..."

The woman in the shirt was obviously still skeptical and felt that this matter was a little beyond her understanding.

"Couldn't he have been parachuted in from the company above? Use your brain to think about it."

"How high-ranking must he be? Could he be the son of a senior director of the head office?"

"I don't know about this...but I've heard something vague about it."

"Director, can you tell me something?"

"What are you talking about? I'll scare you to death if I tell you! Let's get to work!"

……

Wei Zhen didn't know what was wrong with the store manager today. He was about to leave, so he went to the front desk to tell the store manager, only to see him sitting there in a daze, with a dull look in his eyes.

He called out several times but got no response.

Wei Zhen didn't know what kind of shock the store manager was suffering at this moment.

Several years of hard work turned into a joke because of the shop owner's dishonesty. If she had to start all over again, she wouldn't have that much money to invest. Even if she could borrow some money to make up the difference, she no longer had the motivation to do so.

The most important thing is that her ex-boyfriend died in an unavoidable disaster.

It was not easy for her to come out of her grief and she was determined to make their dreams come true.

However, this store that carries countless memories of her and her boyfriend is about to turn into an intangible bubble, just because she has no money to pay the rising rent and wants to delay for a while to negotiate a lower price.

All I can say is that everything is determined by fate and has no control over us.

The other people who were busy in the store were also unaware of this.

No one even noticed what the store manager was doing.

"Are you leaving?"

"Let's go then."

Wei Zhen looked at it for a few more times, and when Chen Yuan, who was standing at the door, called out to him, he didn't pay any attention to the manager's weird behavior and followed him out of the store.

"Well, you wait here for a while, I'll go to the parking lot and drive the car out." Chen Yuan asked.

"That's okay too."

After Chen Yuan left.

Wei Zhen stayed alone, looking into the store from time to time.

With his sensitive mind, he was actually able to detect Chen Yuan's unusual identity, including the group of strangers who suddenly broke into the store, but he also felt that Chen Yuan didn't want to talk more.

So, I didn’t ask any further questions.

But what happened to the store manager? It seems to be related to this group of strangers?
Just as he was thinking, Li Bing pushed the door open and walked out, carrying a gray canvas bag, changing into a somewhat rustic pink down jacket, and wearing black-framed glasses.

"Didn't I persuade you to wear contact lenses last time? They look so good, why don't you wear them?"

I saw her putting on the glasses again.

Wei Zhen was speechless.

She is a very beautiful girl, but she dresses herself to look ugly.

"I'm used to wearing glasses, but contact lenses are a bit uncomfortable..."

"Ok."

Li Bing walked forward a few steps and looked around. It seemed that she didn't find what she was looking for on the street, so her gaze returned to Wei Zhen.

"Has classmate Chen left?"

"No, he went to drive and asked me to wait here."

"oh oh……"

Normally when Wei Zhen talked to Li Bing, the other party would often fall silent after just a few words. Li Bing himself was the type who wasn't good at speaking, so today it was rare that he opened his mouth and asked a few questions actively, which Wei Zhen found quite unusual.

But if you think about it carefully, these two sentences are related to Chen Yuan.

It really is an advantage to be good-looking... Even a girl like Li Bing, who has a personality as hard as a rock, will get extra attention.

Wei Zhen found it funny.

At this time, a car with a conspicuous logo on the front of the hood drove over.

"He's here to pick me up. See you tomorrow at my part-time job."

"Goodbye, Wei."

The car window was not rolled down. Li Bing, who was standing in place, opened the door and took a quick glance, his eyes fixed on Chen Yuan who was sitting in the driver's seat.

"boom!"

The car door is closed.

After a while, it shook down again. "Hey, Chen Yuan asked where you were going. We have nothing to do, how about we take you there?" Wei Zhen waved his hand and asked.

unexpected.

Li Bing hesitated for a moment and actually nodded.

"Ok."

She walked to the back seat somewhat awkwardly, and even opened the door carefully. After sitting in the back seat, she nervously clasped her legs together.

Wei Zhen didn't expect that she would really agree. It turned out that whenever he called a taxi, Li Bing would always refuse even if it was on the way.

Why is everything different today?
"Where are you going, Li? Let me find out the directions. I'm not very familiar with the roads in Lanjing."

Chen Yuan turned around and asked in a polite tone.

In any case, Li Bing was the person Quan Yafeng liked, regardless of whether she could become his sister-in-law in the future...it was their duty to be polite, and the classmates in the class all admired girls like her from the bottom of their hearts.

"I think... there is a Lizhu Beauty Salon in the city."

"Lizhu... beauty salon, found it, only seven kilometers away."

"Thank you, Chen."

"You're so polite! We are all good classmates."

Chen Yuan turned around and smiled at Li Bing, then turned around to start the engine and drove attentively.

This slightly delicate and rustic girl sat quietly in the back row, listening to Chen Yuan and Wei Zhen chatting about many things under the sun. She didn't say a word along the way and was very quiet.

Her eyes looked around, sweeping across the low-key and luxurious interior of the car, occasionally lingering on Chen Yuan's face, and sometimes she would concentrate slightly to listen to what they were talking about.

She pinched the edge of the seat with her fingernails a little harder, and stroked the white marks with a bit of panic.

It is evening.

The playlist was filled with lively notes, and the song "Sunset Boulevard" was played on loop, which was really appropriate for the occasion.

As the sun sets, the sunset glows half the sky red.

Outside the window, the scenery kept receding and vehicles came and went.

Soon, they drove to the intersection in the city center and stopped at a red light. The red glow enveloped the entire street, and through the front windshield, it ruffled Chen Yuan's hair. The thick hair covering his forehead suddenly flashed a transparent red.

She was in the back seat, pursing her lips and looking a little dazed.

……

The night sky is dotted with many shining stars, looking deep and mysterious. Pigeons came from nowhere and flew back and forth on the windowsill beside the tall building, occasionally flapping the windows.

Lying in bed, Chen Yuan tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep.

In fact, as he gets older, he rarely suffers from insomnia due to excessive excitement.

Even on the day before the college entrance examination results were released, Chen Yuan still slept soundly. He played a lot of games intensively that night and his eyes were sore from exhaustion. He took a shower and fell asleep in less than five minutes after going to bed.

What he remembers most clearly is that when he was in fifth grade, the school signed up a tour group for a group of teachers. The four-day, three-night trip was to visit Suzhou and Hangzhou. Of course, the family of three happily went. It was Chen Yuan's first time traveling.

The night before leaving, Chen Yuan fantasized about the southern city he had never been to and thought about boating on the West Lake. He was so happy that he couldn't sleep.

This time, it doesn’t matter where you go.

But because someone is coming back.

The long separation of more than 20 days has undoubtedly brought this rapidly heating up relationship to a critical point where it must be released. Not to mention the clingy Jiang Yao, in fact, Chen Yuan is almost sick with missing her.

Think about it, those sweet and heart-moving moments, the tenderness when their eyes met... recalling Jiang Ning's gentleness and intelligence, Yaoyao's liveliness and cheerfulness, Chen Yuan's heart began to beat fast.

He began to think involuntarily about the interesting things that happened during their relationship. It seemed that since he confirmed his relationship with Teacher Jiang, there has not been a single boring day in his life.

Somehow, Jiang Ning's slightly timid expression appeared in his mind.

Chen Yuan raised the corners of his mouth and suddenly laughed foolishly.

The laughter was very abrupt in the silent room, but it contained real emotion.

Memories are undoubtedly beautiful, and their value even exceeds the moment of the experience. People will quickly fall in love with someone because of sudden sensitivity, or in other words, love someone more than usual. Therefore, there are so many couples who suddenly send messages to each other late at night. If it is an ambiguous period, you should pay more attention. A casual but abrupt message late at night must contain countless emotions.

Chen Yuan really couldn't sleep. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that Teacher Jiang was the best girlfriend in the world. How could there be such a good girl in the world?

It fulfilled all his fantasies.

And there are many cute faces hidden.

Chen Yuan felt something in his heart, so he opened the "Heartbeat Diary" app on his phone and took the initiative to record his emotions that night, expressing his longing for Teacher Jiang. While recording, he looked at the other person's diary that was "hidden" and had a symbol that indicated it could not be viewed.

It was this symbol that aroused Chen Yuan's curiosity.

He couldn't help but wonder whether Teacher Jiang had also recorded many heart-beating moments, and how he would describe him as a lover in those words.

If one day, the deadline for checking that diary comes, I'm afraid he will be looking forward to it as much as he is today.

Did Jiang Ning ever say in her diary that she wanted to marry him?
When were those moments when she loved him the most?
Chen Yuan was thinking impatiently...

Is it possible that she would record that passionate kiss when they were drunk... or the moment when they sat on the plane together to start their first journey! He remembered it very clearly. Jiang Ning didn't forget to hold his hand tightly and lean on his shoulder even when she fell asleep. At that time, her black hair hung by her ears. He lowered his head and saw Jiang Ning's heartbreakingly beautiful profile.

After she woke up on the airplane seat, she hummed a lazy little emotion, opened her eyes and looked at him, and whispered in his ear, "I feel so safe when you hold my hand." At that time, he just thought in his heart how could Ningning be so gentle and speak so softly...

And that time!

She was very patient. Even though her cheeks were red as if they were about to bleed, she suppressed her shyness and always considered his feelings.

Looking back, there is only a blur of the night.

But that scene is unforgettable no matter what.

Because Teacher Jiang is so beautiful, the more beautiful she is, the more she feels like a mixture of art and morbidity.

What moved me the most was that Jiang Ning said that she did not feel wronged.

On the contrary, I was very happy, especially because I thought he looked a little handsome when his cheeks turned red.

It may also have recorded the first time she called him "husband"... Not to mention Ningning, he even bit his lips at that time. Thinking about it now, he felt both awkward and pleasant.

It's quite addictive.

so good……

Lying on the bed, Chen Yuan turned over and looked at the ceiling.

The days of being in love with Teacher Jiang were so happy. I wish it could continue like this forever. Even if it was just a dream, it would be best if I never woke up. But this was not a dream.

this is the truth.

Now, he has his own company! If he talks about marriage with Jiang Ning in the future, he will have more confidence. When she comes back, he can also mention it with a nonchalant look, show off a little, and satisfy his self-esteem in front of his girlfriend.

He still had a wonderful college life. He was secretly dating Teacher Jiang without telling anyone at school, and they would lie together at night and talk about school gossip.

How can life be so happy... It seems that everything is moving in the direction of our dreams.

Maybe one day, he could walk down the aisle to marry Jiang Ning, and when that time comes, he would like to listen carefully.

I heard Jiang Ning say she was willing to marry him.
