"Will you marry me, my treasure?"
…
Five months ago, they had planned to get their marriage license directly.
But they were delayed by matters in the neighboring province at the time.
Seeing him kneeling seriously before her to propose now, Su Yue was quite surprised, but then filled with endless emotion.
"Of course, I will," she replied seriously.
They looked at each other and smiled. He put the ring on her finger and stood up.
"You cooperated well with this operation, Reporter Su. In the days to come, please continue to support my work and my life."
He said this suddenly.
Then, quite seriously, he gave her a police salute.
Su Yue was amused, her eyes curving into crescents as she laughed.
"Alright, Officer Chen, please continue to look out for me, in both work and life."
After saying that, she tiptoed and placed a light kiss on his cheek.
They both laughed again.
"We're getting our license on Monday. This time, no backing out," Chief Chen declared.
"Don't worry, I've already told Mom," Reporter Su nodded solemnly.
"Is your mother's work going smoothly now?" Chen Ziming suddenly remembered and asked.
"She's doing very well. She's met a group of sisters and they spend their days discussing how to stay beautiful," Su Yue said, unable to help but feel happy.
The job was Jiang Ling's idea.
She sold the house she lived in with Su Minghua, moved to a new neighborhood, and set up the living room of her new home as a flower arrangement studio.
That was something Jiang Ling had always enjoyed.
Su Yue actively helped her promote it, and now she had quite a few regular clients.
Among them were Meng Hualan and many of the noble ladies she brought along.
Su Yue could finally be sure.
Her mother was truly much stronger and more capable than she had imagined.
She remembered something else and asked, "What about you? Have you told your family?"
"No. With the New Year coming up, it'll be a surprise for them."
Su Yue: …
"I'm not talking to you anymore. I'm going to check if all my things are here and see if there are any other women's things hidden in this house."
Su Yue put on a proud expression.
After speaking, she ignored him and went to check each room.
Of course, she trusted him.
She just missed this place.
The place that had sheltered her when she had nowhere else to turn.
…
"Finished checking?" After she had toured each room, she saw Chief Chen relaxing on the sofa.
"Yes, it's all good," she nodded in affirmation.
Chen Ziming was amused by her, extended his arm, and beckoned, "Come here."
This scene instantly reminded Su Yue of the second time she had come here with him. When he called out like this, she had gone over and was pulled into his arms.
Rolling her eyes, she still obediently walked over.
As expected, history repeated itself.
She was sitting on his lap again.
"Using the same old trick?" Su Yue asked with a straight face, mimicking his cool demeanor from a while ago.
To her surprise, he shamelessly nodded affirmatively.
Just as she was about to mock him again, he suddenly became serious and held her tighter.
"Treasure, there's something I want to tell you."
Su Yue was suddenly startled by his expression and couldn't help but place a hand on her chest before replying:
"Okay, tell me."
Chen Ziming picked up his phone, found the QQ app, thought for a moment, and then showed her the screen.
Looking at the avatar, Su Yue suddenly felt a sense of familiarity.
A few seconds later, she was shocked.
"This is…" she pointed at the screen, looking at him in disbelief.
She saw him nod and clearly utter two words—
"It's me."
It's me.
Su Yue's eyes widened, and she covered her mouth, unable to believe any of it.
So that fleeting sense of déjà vu.
It had all been true.
Chen Ziming actually.
Was the person from her memory.
