The Male Lead’s Substitute Wife

Chapter 229 The Proposal (1)

Chen Xiuqi held Su Yaya’s hand as they walked out. He brought her into the car, and had the driver start the car, driving out of the villa.

Su Yaya was thinking that weren’t they just going to talk about divorcing each other? Why did he have to make it so complicated? She wondered where they were driving in the middle of the night to. Could it be that he was going to murder and toss her corpse away? She realized that it wasn’t possible after thinking about it. This was a lawful society. She hadn’t offended Chen Xiuqi right now, so there was no reason for him to do such despicable things.

While imagining the malicious things that Chen Xiuqi could do, Su Yaya mocked herself inside. She thought that instead of miserably going through a divorce, it was better to happily break up. That way, they could still treat each other well when they see one another in the future. After all, she could start her own business, and they could part ways!

Chen Xiuqi sat by Su Yaya’s side. While holding her hands, he looked at Su Yaya from time to time. He felt sweet inside as if he had just eaten honey. There were countless pink bubbles floating in the air, and fireworks exploded. It was an incredibly beautiful scene.

After he received the sapphire ring from Miya’s studio this afternoon, he was dragged by An Yutong and Xu Kai to the new imperial city to eat. His friends came along, and it was rare for everyone to gather today. Therefore, he was in a pretty good mood and drank a bit.

After he came out from eating, it wasn’t even 9pm yet. Xu Kai and the rest talked about continuing the party somewhere else. No matter what, they wanted to drag Chen Xiuqi with them. But this time, he was very serious and insisted that he wasn’t going. He said that he had something even more important to do, leaving no room for bargain.

Usually, the friends would still laugh and tease Chen Xiuqi. However, once he became serious and solemn, they were quite afraid of him. It might be because they had been with him as children. Chen Xiuqi was always the boss amongst them. No one dared to disobey him. Therefore, when Chen Xiuqi said that he didn’t want to go, they didn’t dare to drag him along forcibly in the end. Chen Xiuqi had the driver drive, not caring about An Yutong’s sorrowful and upset expression.

After Chen Xiuqi left in the car, he didn’t know why but he felt extremely excited and carried away by a whim. He had the driver drive towards Blessful Mountain.

At the top of the Blessful Mountain, he found the so-called grassland known as the holy ground for proposing marriage. Then, he called Assistant Chen, and had him immediately arrange workers to construct a site suitable for him to propose marriage. Garlands, candles, music and fireworks were all essential.

This was his plan. First, he wanted to propose to Su Yaya and then once she said yes, he will have people set off the fireworks. They will watch them together while they are in each other’s embrace. By morning, they will watch the sunrise. The sunrise on the Blessful Mountain was also very fine, just like how they’d become happier each day.

On the way there, he already planned everything inside his mind. Everything was ready, and it only depended on him to launch the plan now.

After Assistant Chen received his call, he immediately ordered the workers to hurry up and set up the scene. After all, money was good for anything. They weren’t lacking in manpower either. From start to end, Chen Xiuqi spent about two hours or so.

He didn’t tell Su Yaya about this in the past, but he knew that she’d definitely be back today. Yesterday, he saw the news about Su Yaya’s crew finalizing their scenes on Weibo. After that, when the two were video chatting at night, he casually asked her when she would be back. Back then, Su Yaya smiled craftily, and even teasingly told him to guess. He knew what the woman was planning right then. But he didn’t expose her, waiting for her to personally appear before him.

The site where he’d propose marriage was quickly set up. Chen Xiuqi was thinking about giving Su Yaya a surprise, so he hadn’t called her. He decided to personally take her up the mountains, so he had the driver drive back down first.
