Chapter 27 (I)

That night, Chen Yi had insomnia in the hotel room, she held the pillow and stared at the dark curtains, only feeling that through the wall, she could feel Bai Qi's breathing, as if she just turned over slightly, she was held into his arms by one hand as in the past.
Wanting to break free from him, regardless of body or mind, Chen Yi closed his eyes fiercely, imagining a river, and drew a line between them.
After a night, when she opened the door, she even hesitated, and couldn't help but look around when she went to the cafeteria for breakfast, she thought she would see Bai Qi, but she didn't, and she didn't know whether she was relieved or lost, and it took two days before she saw him at the company's small shareholder meeting, and he looked like nothing had happened, as if that night, his invitation to her was just a dream of hers.
After the meeting ended, Bai Qi sat on the edge of the table and stretched out his hand to stop Chen Yi, who was about to leave, "The VIP seat of the German opera "Valkyrie" is rare, from six o'clock in the evening to the early hours of the morning, make time." β
"Don't call the shots. Chen Yi pushed his arm away and said coldly, "I'm not available." β
Her attitude at the moment was really different from the night of dinner, which made Bai Qi a little uncomfortable, because he thought that after the heavy rain, the rift between her and him due to the breakup had been bridged, but he would not be deterred, he spread out his hand and motioned for her to walk unhindered, "It's okay, the future will be long." He said.

It seems that Bai Qi is ready to fight a protracted war, in the face of Chen Yi's indifference, he is neither angry nor anxious, and he is also very measured about her "disturbance", but he makes an appointment for dinner or drama from time to time, and he has not succeeded once for the time being, he still has his own job, and if the company does not hold a shareholder meeting, he will not come to make a special trip.
Although this "posture" of "pursuit" seems a little too careless, Chen Yi knows that it is not easy for Bai Qi, he is a man with a heart higher than the sky, for the date he proposed, if there is one refusal, there will be no second time, however, he has already proposed to her a hundred times, "Chen Yi, there is a good Italian restaurant." "Chen Yi, have you eaten at Schindler's Restaurant at the embassy?" "Chen Yi, there is a good coffee shop in WF Central." "Chen Yi, there is an art exhibition over there at CAFA. "Chen Yi, the National Museum is exhibiting Van Gogh's virtual reality exhibition. ββ¦β¦
Bai Qi's voice is about to form a surround sound that wraps Chen Yi, and the "annoying" effect created by this is quite nostalgic for her, when she was still in school, he circled around her like a small satellite.
After the meeting ended today, Bai Qi followed up with Chen Yi's office as a matter of course, and over time, the people in the company were not surprised, but in order to avoid suspicion, they did not close the door again when they were alone.
Bai Qi put his hands in his pockets and watched Chen Yi pack up his things, "Are you going home or going back to the hotel tonight?" Seeing that she didn't even raise her head, she continued, "Roast meat is not bad, Joy City is holding a film festival, let's have a meal first, and then watch an all-night movie." β
Chen Yi couldn't help but laugh when she thought about his caution of always using imperative sentences instead of interrogative sentences, and she glanced at him and said, "Are you just waiting for me to accidentally nod and say 'OK'?"
"You guessed it. Bai Qi hugged his arms and smiled brightly.
"No, I can't. Chen Yi sighed and repeated, "No. β
She walked out the door, and Bai Qi followed, "Don't worry. His tone was indeed leisurely, still so confident with a smile, "I'm not in a hurry, what are you anxious about? β

In the elevator, Chen Yi warned Bai Qi not to follow him anymore, today Chi Nuo said that he would come to pick her up, everyone is a sane adult, there is no need to make the scene too embarrassing, Bai Qi just turned his head sideways, shrugged his shoulders again, and then walked out of the elevator with her one after the other, when approaching the company gate, he slowed down and distanced himself from her, far away, Chi Nuo's car could be seen parked on the side of the road.
Chen Yi walked forward quickly, not wanting to wait for Chi Nuo to find Bai Qi behind her, but was bumped head-on by a man wearing a hat, "I'm sorry!" The other party apologized while deliberately blocking her way with his body.
When Chen Yi was confused, Bai Qi saw that she seemed to be in trouble, and she was about to roll up her sleeves and come over to trouble the strange man, but she saw more people wearing the same hat appearing, there were men and women, they surrounded Chen Yi, and when Bai Qi was about to get angry and Chen Yi was also angry, there was music on the radio in this hall, it was "Brother Mars" "Marry Me", these nine young people suddenly began to dance, from the rather professional dancing, it is not difficult to think that Chi Nuo found it through the relationship with the TV station.
People passing by didn't know about this sudden flash dance performance, they all stopped to watch, Chen Yi saw his assistant from the crowd at a glance, and several other employees of the company, seeing their excitement to complete the task, they knew who was behind the scenes, and when the dancers danced for half a minute, Chi Nuo jumped out of the car, and approached Chen Yi while stepping on the dance steps.
There is no need to guess, Chen Yi watched Chi Nuo sing two English lyrics of "Baby, I want you to marry me" around him, and knew that he proposed, and sure enough, he knelt down on one knee, took out a red velvet jewelry box, opened it to show her a diamond ring inside, the delicate logo was printed on the inner lining of the box, Chen Yi recognized this brand at a glance, and estimated that his ring cost at least about 80,000 yuan, which was really a bloody cost.
"Sister, today is my birthdayβ" As Chi Nuo spoke, the music stopped, and the dancers and passers-by waited with bated breath as they stood a few meters away, and he said, "I have only one wish, and every birthday in the future, there is only this one wish, and this wish can only be fulfilled for me - that is, we can be together forever, sister, please marry me!"
Chen Yi's head moved slightly, this insignificant movement was not noticed by anyone, her first reaction was to take a look at Bai Qi, but she immediately stopped herself before she could turn her face away, and now there is no reason to see his reaction.
Now it was a good time to give her a reason to break with him once and for all.
"Good. She nodded slightly.
Maybe it was because Chen Yi's reputation as a "difficult to handle" person spread far and wide, so everyone present, including Chi Nuo, did not react.
Especially Chi Nuo, who was kneeling on the ground and looking up at her, didn't know how to put the expression on his face for a while, he couldn't believe that everything would go so well, he thought that he would at least grind her for a while, but he didn't think that she said "good" - Chen Yi actually agreed to marry him - after the shock, it was a huge sense of surprise, which shocked his heart to pieces.
Chi Nuo immediately cried, "I'm so happy!"
Only then did everyone get an order, they applauded wildly, and suddenly the applause was like a sea, roaring in Chen Yi's ears, disturbing her eyes out of focus, and she felt like she was in a dream, and there was a vast expanse in front of her.
Chi Nuo stood up and hugged Chen Yi, and even kissed her under the coaxing of everyone, but Chen Yi rarely did not resist, passively cooperated with him, and finally let him push with the crowd and take her back to the car.
Before evacuating, she finally couldn't help but look back, but she didn't see Bai Qi.

After returning home, Chi Nuo reported the good news to Zhou Biyun, and took her out to eat in the high-end Cantonese restaurant he had booked with a lot of money.
Chi Nuo asked: "Sister, then when are we going to have a wedding?"
Chen Yi raised his head, seemed to be sluggish because of thinking, and said, "Well, it's either ......"
"It's too much, it's really too much. Zhou Biyun raised her hand to intercept Chen Yi's words before she could pick them up, and she spoke to Chi Nuo, "You young people like to engage in flash marriages, thinking that this marriage event is a matter between the two of you, and it is not subject to the consent of our parents, but I tell you, Chi Nuo, marriage is a matter between two big families, today, even if I agree to accept you as a part of our family, but what about your parents? Do they agree to let Chen Yi become a member of your family?" Speaking of which, you see, our family is clearly a few people, how many houses, all spread out in front of your eyes, what about you? We haven't even seen your parents, even if it's a new era, don't talk about the old set of rules, but you want to marry Chen Yi, we know you apart from your name Chi Nuo, what do we know about you? How many people do you have? Where do you live? Do you have a house? What do your parents do? Do you have a pension? We haven't asked for these basic information, and if you don't take the initiative to mention it and don't arrange for us to meet your parents, it's disrespectful anywhere, how can I rest assured that I will hand over my daughter to someone who doesn't know the roots?"
Chi Nuo's eyes were dizzy by her endless counts, but the smile on his face did not fade, because the matter of marrying Chen Yi was really worthy of his happiness for several years, so he was not annoyed, and immediately took out his mobile phone and said, "Auntie, what you said is right, I didn't think about it comprehensively enough, I really should have asked my mother to meet her future daughter-in-law, I'll call her now, let's talk about this wedding seriously, what do you want, just mention it, our family can get along." β
