Feng Zhang and Zhou Xuan cared a lot about the proposal. Hearing Shen Su say that, they both became curious. "Isn't today a workday? Where are you proposing? Feng Feng is quite busy today!"
Shen Su smiled and said, "Right at her office." He explained, "I arranged for the office leadership to send her out today. It's a surprise for her. She still doesn't know I'm proposing today."
As soon as he said this, Zhou Xuan was the first to laugh. She was a romantic person, and Shen Su's move was very much to her liking. This surprise was clearly meticulously planned. Anyone would be happy to see their daughter so cherished.
Although Feng Zhang wasn't as keen on romance as Zhou Xuan, seeing Shen Su's thoughtfulness, even coming to pick them up personally, he felt his sincerity and the importance he placed on Feng Feng. As parents, witnessing such an important moment in their daughter's life was also a great happiness.
Feng Feng wouldn't be back until 3 PM, so Shen Su first took Feng Zhang and Zhou Xuan to have lunch with Shen Jianghe and Gu Yuan. Of course, he had sought their opinions on the way. After Feng Zhang and Zhou Xuan agreed, Shen Su called Gu Yuan.
Since it was a last-minute decision, Gu Yuan and Shen Jianghe immediately canceled their lunch arrangements and came to Ru Feng Club to meet their future in-laws.
This meeting of the parents was a bit unusual, as only one of the bride and groom was present. Normally, one couldn't handle such a situation. Fortunately, Shen Su was capable and navigated smoothly among the four elders. Gu Yuan was also adept at handling such occasions and, coupled with her fondness for Feng Feng, she began praising Feng Feng after the initial greetings.
Shen Jianghe also chimed in with a few compliments. From the couple's words, it was evident how much they loved Feng Feng. As parents, Feng Zhang and Zhou Xuan were naturally delighted to see this. More than being praised themselves, they hoped their daughter would be appreciated.
Therefore, the atmosphere of the meal was exceptionally good. Gu Yuan was naturally cheerful, and Zhou Xuan was also easy to get along with. As they chatted, the two discovered many common topics and quickly formed a friendship.
After lunch, the four elders went with Shen Su to Feng Feng's office. Feng Feng had been working there for years, but it was Feng Zhang and Zhou Xuan's first time visiting her workplace.
When they arrived, the office had already been decorated. Shen Su was clearly familiar with Feng Feng's colleagues, and as soon as he arrived, someone greeted him. Shen Su chatted with people along the way, leading the four elders to Feng Feng's office.
Feng Feng's office wasn't large, about twenty square meters. It usually felt spacious, but now, the roses and balloons on the floor filled the space completely, especially the large bouquet of roses, which was a pleasure to behold.
Feng Zhang and Zhou Xuan remained silent. The couple exchanged glances, and they could read each other's thoughts – Shen Su's choice of Feng Feng's workplace for the proposal was considerate and well-thought-out, and they were very satisfied with it.
At 3 PM, Feng Feng returned to the office from the bank. As she entered the office, she first encountered Li Wen. Li Wen greeted her with a smile, appearing exceptionally enthusiastic. Feng Feng responded and casually asked, "Are you in a good mood today?"
Li Wen said, "Yes, the stock market did well today." In reality, it wasn't about the stocks. He had won a bet with a colleague, and for that, he had to thank Feng Feng. However, to keep Shen Su's surprise a secret, he couldn't mention it yet.
The other colleagues Feng Feng encountered also tacitly avoided mentioning Shen Su. Feng Feng noticed nothing unusual along the way. A few minutes later, she reached the office door. Unbeknownst to her, colleagues were already preparing to rush in and witness the spectacle.
Feng Feng, tired from a day out, rubbed her temples and pushed open the office door. Her initial drowsiness vanished instantly upon seeing the roses and balloons on the floor.
Looking up, she saw the four elders: Feng Zhang, Zhou Xuan, Shen Jianghe, and Gu Yuan.
Of course, the main focus was Shen Su, who stood opposite her, slowly walking towards her. Feng Feng immediately understood what was happening.
At this moment, the colleagues who had been waiting to witness the spectacle had also gathered at the office door to watch. Feng Feng, hearing the commotion behind her, felt her cheeks flush for the first time. In her thirty-plus years, this was the first time she had encountered such a scene, and she was momentarily unsure how to react.
While Feng Feng was stunned, Shen Su had already stopped in front of her, holding the ring. Before Feng Feng could even move her lips, Shen Su took her hand and knelt on one knee. With this move, the colleagues behind them began to cheer, and Feng Feng's mind buzzed.
Shen Su lowered his head, kissed the back of Feng Feng's hand, and smiled, saying, "Miss Feng, will you marry me?"
Thank goodness, Shen Su didn't say anything overly sentimental, or Feng Feng would have truly wanted to disappear into a crack in the ground. But even with just this simple request, he couldn't quell the cheers from behind.
Feng Feng felt a headache coming on. "Why are you suddenly..."
"It's not sudden, it's a surprise I prepared for you." Shen Su seemed to have guessed her question. "Miss Feng, can I have an answer first? Or do you want to see me kneel for a few more minutes?"
"Miss Feng, say yes to Mr. Shen!" One of the colleagues, she didn't know who, spoke up first, followed by others echoing him.
Then, all Feng Feng could hear were three words: "Say yes."
Actually, she had already gone through the proposal process once, and Feng Feng had already agreed. With so many people watching, she couldn't possibly refuse Shen Su. She was just a bit flustered and couldn't react immediately.
After calming down slightly, Feng Feng nodded under everyone's gaze and said to him, "Okay."
Then, she grabbed Shen Su's hand and pulled him up from the floor. The colleagues behind them applauded continuously, and someone started the chant, "Kiss, kiss."
Feng Feng glanced back, showing a rare warning expression. But her colleagues, who usually feared her, were surprisingly defiant this time, not backing down at her gaze.
Even Gu Yuan and Zhou Xuan next to them joined in the fun, "Come on, kiss! It would be a shame not to kiss on such an important occasion."
Feng Feng: "..."
Shen Su, of course, didn't mind. He placed his hands on Feng Feng's shoulders and asked softly, "Is that okay, Miss Feng?"
Feng Feng: "Mm."
As she nodded, the cheers and screams erupted again.
Shen Su held Feng Feng's shoulders, lowered his head, and his lips met hers, planting a gentle kiss that was brief and to the point.
This was a pure kiss they had rarely experienced.
But at that moment, Feng Feng experienced an unprecedented spiritual pleasure.
The kiss lasted only about ten seconds. As they separated, Shen Su whispered in Feng Feng's ear, "Wife, please take care of me."
