Reborn to bury love, I can reach for the stars.

Chapter 356 Let's get engaged, okay?

Director Wang stared intently at the ever-increasing data on the back end, his heart filled with barely suppressed joy and excitement.

The speed at which the show's popularity grew was simply beyond imagination, easily breaking the highest record previously held by their own program. Not only that, but Weibo was also buzzing with activity, with topics related to the show dominating several of the top trending topics.

Director Wang was grinning from ear to ear, his eyes narrowing into slits. If this trend continues, he won't need to bother trying to get sponsors for the next season; those savvy sponsors will definitely flock to him on their own.

Huang Chen, who had been participating in the conversation, had lost his initial composure and seemed to be unable to suppress his inner anxiety. He frequently glanced out the window, his eyes revealing a hint of eagerness and anticipation.

Bai Zhu, unable to contain her burning curiosity any longer, cautiously leaned closer to Huang Chen and whispered, "So, has the opportunity you've been waiting for finally arrived?"

Upon hearing this, Huang Chen was slightly taken aback at first, then turned his head to look at the sky outside the window, which was gradually being shrouded in night and appeared somewhat dim. While gently rubbing his hands together, he replied in a low voice, "Hmm... soon."

Huang Chen felt around in his pocket, his initial nervousness subsiding slightly. He then suddenly stood up as he looked at the people sitting on the sofa chatting animatedly with Su Muqing and Su Yao.

"Um, Wanmeng," although she had gone through the process in her mind again and again, she still couldn't help but feel a little nervous at this point, "Shall we go out for a walk?"

Amidst the knowing looks on everyone's faces, Shi Wanmeng stood up, her face slightly flushed: "Okay."

Are you here yet?

【Ah ...

I'm going to confess! I'm going to confess!

【OMG】

I'm dying to wait!

[Huang Chen! Keep it up!]

[Hahahaha, let the confessions come even more fiercely!]

The two walked one after the other, with Huang Chen leading the way with light steps, glancing back every now and then, while Shi Wanmeng followed silently behind, her heart filled with curiosity and anticipation.

The two walked along the path deeper into the garden, winding and turning. The leaves on both sides had almost all fallen, and when the breeze blew, the branches rustled as if whispering some secret.

When she reached the end of the path, Shi Wanmeng was stunned by the sight before her.

The ground was covered with flowers that were out of season, all vying for attention and emitting a faint fragrance.

Seeing all this, Shi Wanmeng felt a surge of indescribable emotions.

She could imagine how much thought and effort Huang Chen had put into setting up this scene, and she was deeply moved. On the other hand, looking at this slightly "rustic" scene, she found it a little funny. However, it was precisely this simple and unpretentious approach that made people see Huang Chen's sincere and profound emotions.

As Huang Chen gazed at her radiant smile, the tension that had been gripping him finally eased slightly.

He quietly made a gesture to the staff member he had instructed beforehand, and the staff member nodded in understanding, indicating that he understood.

Immediately afterwards, as if by magic, one by one, the small, exquisite lamps lit up among the previously dim woods and flowerbeds.

These small lights, like twinkling stars in the night sky or glittering stars in the Milky Way, are scattered in every corner in a pleasing arrangement. Some are bright, some are dim, and they complement each other, decorating the whole scene in a dreamlike and enchanting way, like a fairyland.

This time, Shi Wanmeng was truly shocked by the scene before her, her mouth agape: "You..."

Oh my god, this scene is so romantic!

Although I had already guessed it, I'm still so touched.

No, it's like a galaxy.

[Although this setup is a bit too masculine, it's really nice.]

They really put their heart into it.

[Ahhhhh, just say yes already!]

Huang Chen involuntarily took a small step back, slowly stopped, and stood steadily in front of Shi Wanmeng.

He took a deep breath, mustered his courage, and looked directly into her eyes, as if trying to see through those deep pupils to see the truest thoughts in her heart.

Immediately afterward, Huang Chen suddenly squatted down without warning, moving swiftly. Then, just as Shi Wanmeng was at a loss, he calmly reached into his pocket and began to rummage around.

A moment later, as he slowly withdrew his hand, a small and exquisite box appeared in his palm.

Huang Chen's lips curled into a warm smile. He carefully opened the small box, inside which lay a heart-shaped pink diamond ring.

"Wanmeng..." Huang Chen's eyes were filled with anticipation as he whispered, "Let's get engaged, okay?"

At that moment, time seemed to stand still, and the whole world was quiet except for the breathing of the two of them.

【Ahhhhhh?】

No, no, this isn't what I expected.

Oh my god, am I hallucinating?

[They skipped the confession and proposal altogether?]

Holy crap, this wait was worth it!

I'm about to pass out, I need CPR!!!

Just pinch the philtrum.

[Hahahaha, the "shit-yellow party" is once again reigning supreme!!!!]

[Hahaha, I overtook them on the curve and got ahead of everyone else again!]

Seeing that she remained silent and did not give any response, Huang Chen's heart panicked instantly. He gripped the box tightly in his hand, took a deep breath, and tried to calm himself down.

His hands trembled slightly, as if he were using all his strength to hold the box even higher, and he asked in a slightly urgent voice, "Wanmeng, promise me, okay?"

Shi Wanmeng's eyes gradually welled up with tears. She blinked, trying to hold them back. A smile appeared on her face as she gently placed her hand on Huang Chen's, who was holding the box: "Isn't this a little too fast?"

Huang Chen grabbed her hand and grinned, revealing a set of white teeth: "Not fast, not fast at all. I've been waiting for a long time. I'll give you three seconds. If you don't shake your head, I'll take that as a yes!"

Looking at Huang Chen's nervous yet expectant expression, Shi Wanmeng couldn't help but chuckle.

“One…” Huang Chen began to count.

Shi Wanmeng bit her lip, her eyes sparkling.

"Two..." Huang Chen's heart pounded like a drum, and he felt the air around him become scorching hot.

Just as Huang Chen was about to count to three, Shi Wanmeng nodded gently.

Huang Chen was so excited that he stood up abruptly, took out the ring, and put it on Shi Wanmeng's finger.

A burst of enthusiastic cheers erupted from all around. It turned out that several other people had secretly followed them and were watching the spectacle from the shadows.

Su Muqing rushed over with a smile, her eyes still glistening with tears: "My goodness, Huang Chen, you're way too hasty!"

Su Yao chimed in, "Does that mean we'll be getting wedding candy soon?"
