It was a photograph of roses, a large bouquet—or rather, it couldn't be described as a bouquet. It was so large, it would be difficult to carry. But the roses were beautiful, a combination of ice-blue and pink roses, with a few red roses occasionally interspersed as accents. The colors were striking.
Jiang Rong shared enthusiastically, "This was shared with me by the owner of the flower shop. It's a new proposal idea they designed. Five hundred and twenty-one roses, hehehe, who could refuse this?"
Before Shen Su could respond, Gu Song chimed in with praise, "This is gorgeous. Using this trick would definitely work, it's so impressive."
Shen Su felt that Jiang Rong's taste was indeed excellent, and he also liked this combination. He asked Jiang Rong for the flower shop owner's contact information. After arranging this, Shen Su contacted the designers for the wedding rings and wedding dress. Although he had given her a wedding ring once before, he wanted to do it again for the formal proposal.
After all, he felt that with such things, one could never have too many.
However, the design cycle for wedding rings and dresses was quite long, and it was impossible to have them completed by the time of his proposal. Shen Su temporarily bought a ring from a certain brand as a "prop" for the proposal.
Next, it was time to confirm the date and arrange the venue. This was Jiang Rong's forte. "Where do you want to propose to her? A cinema or a restaurant?"
Shen Su said, "At her company."
Jiang Rong gasped, surprised by Shen Su's approach. Seeing her surprised expression, Shen Su briefly explained, "My company has a collaboration with her workplace. With us together, there might be some gossip privately."
Jiang Rong suddenly understood, "I get it. You want to shut up those who are questioning." She then gave Shen Su a thumbs-up, "Impressive, truly responsible. I believe President Feng will definitely accept your proposal. I'm waiting to drink your wedding wine!"
However, proposing at the company was actually quite difficult. So, after discussion, the final plan was for Shen Su to have the leadership at the institute find an excuse to assign Feng Feng an external work task on the day of the proposal. Then, they would go to Feng Feng's office to decorate the venue in advance. When Feng Feng returned, the proposal ceremony could proceed smoothly.
Shen Su entrusted the venue decoration entirely to Gu Song and Jiang Rong. He himself rushed to buy the ring and even prepared a new suit specifically for the proposal. With this, Shen Su didn't spend too much energy on this matter. In the following days, he and Feng Feng continued to interact as usual.
On the weekend, Shen Su showed no suspicious behavior. He seemed to have made no preparations for this event. Feng Feng had initially thought that after deciding to register their marriage, Shen Su would immediately start planning the proposal. But seeing his unhurried demeanor, it was as if he had forgotten about it.
Feng Feng was a bit impatient but didn't want to ask him directly, as it would make her seem too eager. On Saturday evening, while Shen Su was cooking, Feng Feng received a message from Gu Yuan. Gu Yuan sent her several chosen dates for registering their marriage and asked Feng Feng to decide which one to pick.
Therefore, at dinner, Feng Feng naturally brought up the matter with Shen Su. The earliest of the three dates chosen by Gu Yuan was at the beginning of the next month, less than half a month away.
Shen Su chose the earliest date without hesitation. After choosing, he casually asked Feng Feng, "What do you think?"
Feng Feng fell silent for a long time. He hadn't even proposed, and he was already so eager to register their marriage?
A few minutes later, Feng Feng gave an ambiguous answer, "I'll discuss it with my parents."
Shen Su asked, "When are they free to come over? I'll arrange for your parents and my parents to meet."
Feng Feng replied, "I just asked. They'll arrive next Friday morning."
Shen Su asked, "Will you pick them up?"
Feng Feng shook her head, "I have to go to the bank to handle some matters that day, assigned by the institute. I can't reschedule."
Shen Su understood, "Then I'll pick them up for you."
Feng Feng didn't refuse. Their conversation then shifted to the meeting of their parents. Shen Su said a lot, but he didn't mention the proposal at all. Feng Feng didn't feel that Shen Su didn't care about her because of this. However, after Shen Su finished speaking that day, she felt a subtle sense of anticipation.
When the anticipated event didn't happen, she couldn't help but feel disappointed. But Feng Feng ultimately didn't ask. She was over thirty, and she couldn't argue with Shen Su over this matter.
However, even if Feng Feng didn't ask, Shen Su could sense the changes in her emotions. He was a very observant person, and during their relationship, he was acutely aware of her reactions. Shen Su suppressed the urge to explain to Feng Feng because he knew that the disappointment now would lead to greater surprise later.
Feng Feng was too smart. On previous occasions when he tried to create surprises, she had seen through them every time. This time, having finally maintained an element of mystery, he wouldn't give up easily.
Thus, another five or six days passed, and Shen Su still didn't mention the proposal.
Fortunately, Feng Feng was a patient person. If it were someone else, they would likely have been so frustrated that they would have gone to Shen Su to question him.
Early Friday morning, Feng Feng drove to the bank to handle her business. This task was assigned to her by a senior leader. She had done similar things before, so she didn't suspect anything.
Meanwhile, at the institute, Shen Su's people began decorating early in the morning. The staff at the institute could only see various balloons, roses, candles, and gift boxes being continuously transported to Feng Feng's office. Everyone was already very interested in Feng Feng and Shen Su's relationship, and this high-profile display only fueled their curiosity.
Shen Su also made a personal appearance, satisfying the curiosity of his colleagues. He had his assistant order coffee for everyone and said with a smile, "I'm proposing to Feng Feng today, and I want to give her a surprise. I'd appreciate it if everyone could keep it a secret and not discuss it in the WeChat group."
Upon hearing "proposal," everyone became excited. "Congratulations, congratulations!"
"Don't worry, Mr. Shen, we'll definitely cooperate with your plan!"
Everyone chimed in with their agreement and promised to keep it a secret. There was no discussion in the WeChat group.
After handling matters at the institute, Shen Su personally drove to the airport to pick up Feng Zhang and Zhou Xuan. Their flight was scheduled to land at 10:30 AM. Shen Su arrived at the airport before then and waited at the arrivals gate for fifteen minutes before finally seeing them.
Feng Zhang and Zhou Xuan had only known that Feng Feng had arranged for someone to pick them up, but they didn't expect it to be Shen Su. Zhou Xuan asked, "Why are you here personally? Aren't you busy with work?"
Shen Su smiled mysteriously and then told them, "I wanted to ask Uncle and Auntie for a favor."
Feng Zhang asked, "What is it?"
Shen Su took their luggage and, on the way to the parking garage, explained his plan. "I plan to propose to Feng Feng today, and I hope you can be there to witness it."
