Chapter 414 Preparations
"Rinsu." Ji Jingxi called out Zheng Rinxu's name very affectionately, and naturally walked to his side and stopped.
It looks like he should have made a special trip to find Zheng Rinxu.
Jiang Mingzhu really had a good impression of Ji Jingxi, and after seeing her, she was not interested in continuing to talk to Zheng Rin.
But Ji Jingxi himself didn't seem to realize this, greeted Jiang Mingzhu very warmly, and said that he wanted to give her a gift.
Only then did Jiang Mingzhu know that Ji Jingxi was a designer and was quite famous in the fashion circle.
"No thanks." Jiang Mingzhu said, "I've already chosen a gift, go back first, you guys are busy."
Zheng Rinshu: "Let's have a meal together at noon?"
Jiang Mingzhu: "No, I'll go back to accompany my parents."
Zheng Rinshu: "Be careful when driving."
Jiang Mingzhu walked out of the counter with the ring and the pair of studs selected for Fu Xiaozhi.
On the way home, Jiang Mingzhu received a call from Zhou Li.
She was a little unhappy because of Ji Jingxi's matter, and couldn't help but complain a few words to Zhou Li.
Of course, Jiang Mingzhu omitted the part where she bought the ring at the counter, and only said that she ran into Ji Jingxi when she was with Zheng Rinxu.
Jiang Mingzhu's attitude towards Ji Jingxi, to use an inappropriate analogy, is like seeing his father find a stepmother he doesn't like.
Even if Ji Jingxi treats her warmly, she still can't suppress the rejection in her heart.
Maybe it's out of the maintenance of dealing with Xiaozhi.

During the Spring Festival, Jiang Mingzhu stayed with He Chuyan and Jiang Guming basically every day.
The family of three eats, goes shopping, and occasionally visits friends.
On the third day of junior high school, Jiang Mingzhu went to Qin's house with He Chuyan and Jiang Guming.
After Qin Mingli's parents saw Jiang Mingzhu, they also asked a few questions about her and Zhou Li's relationship status.
Although the parents of both sides had jokingly ordered "baby kisses" for Qin Mingli and Jiang Mingzhu before, now that Jiang Mingzhu has a boyfriend, they have the right to joke in the past.
However, Qin Mingli's parents have always liked Jiang Mingzhu and are enthusiastic about her.
Qin Mingli himself had already gladly accepted Jiang Mingzhu and Zhou Li's affairs.
During the meal, Jiang Mingzhu and Qin Mingli sat together, and mentioned to him about resignation by the way.
Qin Mingli's action of eating food paused, "You're getting married?"
Jiang Mingzhu had made an agreement with him before, and the next time she mentioned leaving her job would be when she and Zhou Li got married.
Jiang Mingzhu also remembered this agreement.
Jiang Mingzhu put down the spoon with a smile: "It's almost time, I'll propose to him on Valentine's Day."
The smile on Qin Mingli's face froze for a moment, he thought he had misheard: "You proposed?"
Jiang Mingzhu: "That's right."
She knew the reason why Qin Mingli was surprised: "And no one stipulates that girls can't propose, so I want to give him the best."
Qin Mingli: "...... Well, Zhou Li was lucky to have met you."
Jiang Mingzhu: "I was lucky to meet him."
She held her chin and said, "You only see me being good to him, but you don't see what he does for me, and I am nothing compared to what he has done, so I will make him the happiest man in the world in the future."
Qin Mingli thought that he was very receptive to words, but when he heard Jiang Mingzhu say this, he still had goosebumps.
Qin Chongzhi had been listening with his ears pricked up for a long time just now, and when he arrived here, he finally couldn't help it.
Qin Chongzhi: "My God, Sister Zhuzhu, you're too in love, aren't you?"
Jiang Mingzhu was attracted by Qin Chongzhi's exclamation, looked at him, and raised his eyebrows: "Where am I in love?"
Qin Chongzhi: "How can your boyfriend be as good as you say, I think he is cold, there is no expression on his face, how can he become a gentle and considerate man in your mouth, your filter is too thick!"
Qin Chongzhi didn't talk nonsense, after all, he and Zhou
The few times Li met, Zhou Li had a very dark face.
To be precise, Zhou Li was an expressionless facial paralysis most of the time.
Jiang Mingzhu didn't get angry because of Qin Chongzhi's words, but smiled and said to him, "Because he only shows me gentlely."
"You're too young to understand." Jiang Mingzhu patted Qin Chongzhi on the shoulder, "Compared to the kind of man who is gentle to the whole world, I still like my boyfriend's kind of man who is straight face to others but only smiles at me, hehe."
Qin Chongzhi rubbed goosebumps.
Seeing that Jiang Mingzhu, who is usually very smart, became in this state when he was in love, Qin Chongzhi suddenly became afraid of falling in love.
But Jiang Mingzhu enjoyed it.

Jiang Mingzhu planned to propose to Zhou Li, and He Chuyan and Jiang Guming knew about it on Chinese New Year's Eve.
He Chuyan is very supportive of Jiang Mingzhu's decision.
Feelings are mutual.
Zhou Li once paid a lot for Jiang Mingzhu, and when the two were happy, there was no problem for Jiang Mingzhu to take the initiative.
He Chuyan has always admired Zhou Li and trusted it.
The mother-in-law looked at her son-in-law, the more pleasing it became, but the father-in-law was not so optimistic.
Jiang Guming has no opinion on the relationship between Jiang Mingzhu and Zhou Li, and even supports their marriage.
But he has a lot of complaints about Jiang Mingzhu's initiative to propose.
It's not that I think girls can't take the initiative to propose, it's just that Zhou Li did this without any expression, which seemed to be in a hurry to marry Zhou Li.
What if Zhou Zhou Li felt that Jiang Mingzhu was eaten to death by him, and he didn't treat her well in the future.
Therefore, on the way to send Jiang Mingzhu back to Beicheng, Jiang Guming specially talked to Jiang Mingzhu for a few words.
Jiang Guming: "You can think about the marriage proposal before making a decision, there are still a few days left."
Jiang Mingzhu: "Huh? Dad, do you have any advice for me?"
Jiang Guming: "I have no objection to you marrying Zhou Li, and the idea of proposing marriage is also very good."
He first affirmed Jiang Mingzhu's approach, "But I think that your marriage proposal should be made after he expresses his desire to marry to you."
Jiang Mingzhu: "I understand, Dad, you're afraid that he thinks I'm too anxious and proactive, so I don't cherish it."
Jiang Guming: "Well, that's what it means."
Jiang Mingzhu: "He won't."
These four words, she said with great certainty, "If it were someone else, it might be like this, but he is Zhou Li."
"He has done so much for me before, I can't always enjoy his kindness to me without taking the initiative at all, the things I did before made him very insecure, I want to get his sense of security back little by little."
Marriage proposal is one of the most important steps.
After listening to this, He Chuyan immediately expressed her support for Jiang Mingzhu: "Well, your idea is right, my mother supports you."
Jiang Mingzhu: "So Dad, you don't have to worry, I do all this on the premise that he loves me."
Jiang Guming was finally left speechless by Jiang Mingzhu: "Okay, as long as you make a decision after careful consideration, Dad will support you."
——
Valentine's Day is a week away.
After Jiang Mingzhu returned to Beicheng, he began to carry Zhou Li to prepare for the venue layout on the day of the proposal.
