Chapter 415: Prelude
Time is tight and the task is heavy, Jiang Mingzhu can't complete it alone, so he called Fang Qinyang and Fu Xiaozhi to help buy things and receive express delivery.
All the purchased things are temporarily stored at Fang Qinyang and Fu Xiaozhi's side, and will be transported to Yushuiwan for decoration before Valentine's Day.
Valentine's Day was Friday, and Zhou Li was going to work in the company during the day, and Jiang Mingzhu still had time to arrange it behind his back.
Regarding how to arrange the proposal venue, Jiang Mingzhu deliberately drew a design drawing.
There are a few essential elements for a marriage proposal: roses, balloons, streamers.
Jiang Mingzhu originally wanted to learn to get a photo wall in the online strategy, but later found that this trick didn't work for her.
Zhou Li doesn't like to take pictures, and there are very few photos of the two of them.
So Jiang Mingzhu planned to replace the photo wall with a comic wall-
She is not good at this kind of thing, but Fang Qinyang learned this, so Jiang Mingzhu made an appointment with her.
It just so happened that Fang Qinyang also knew more about Jiang Mingzhu and Zhou Li's journey along the way, and there was no need to spend extra time telling her stories.
Fang Qinyang happily accepted this "task" and finished the manuscript in two or three days.
These things are carried out behind the back of the Zhou Li.
Although Jiang Mingzhu is very careful, there will still be times when he is not careful.
Because of the preparation for the marriage proposal, there are a lot of WeChat messages, and I can't escape when I have dinner with Zhou Li.
That night, Zhou Li made another table of dishes, and as soon as Jiang Mingzhu sat down and tasted it, WeChat entered the news.
Zhou Li was going to ask her "how does it taste", but she was interrupted abruptly.
Jiang Mingzhu picked up the mobile phone and looked very seriously, his attention was on the mobile phone, and he refused to give him even a little afterglow.
This has happened a few times.
Zhou Li's expression became a little heavy, and he stared at her motionlessly.
Jiang Mingzhu is returning to the news of Fang Qinyang.
Fang Qinyang just sent the finished manuscript over, and what she drew was actually the story of the little fox and the hunter.
Jiang Mingzhu felt that this idea was too powerful, and she watched it with relish, and the curvature of the corners of her mouth couldn't go down.
The happier she smiled, the more gloomy Zhou Li's face became.
After putting down the phone, Jiang Mingzhu realized that Zhou Li's face was wrong.
Jiang Mingzhu: "What's wrong with you?"
Zhou Li: "I should ask you this question."
Jiang Mingzhu: "Huh?"
Zhou Li: "You seem to be very busy these days."
At first glance, it doesn't sound like an undulating tone, but if you taste it carefully, you can feel the weight of his resentment.
Jiang Mingzhu immediately realized that he was blaming her for ignoring him on WeChat: "I was chatting with Qinyang just now, and I asked her for help with something recently."
Hearing Fang Qinyang's name, Zhou Li's face softened slightly.
At this time, Jiang Mingzhu's mobile phone screen lit up again, and Zhou Li subconsciously glanced down, and it was really a message from Fang Qinyang.
Jiang Mingzhu didn't lie to him.
Maybe it's because she was deceived by Jiang Mingzhu too many times before, and now once she shows the slightest abnormality, Zhou Li will be cranky uncontrollably.
Of course, he knew that he should give her enough trust, but it was difficult to completely remove the insecurity in his heart.
Jiang Mingzhu changed the topic and chatted with Zhou Li about the arrangements for Valentine's Day: "When can you come back on Valentine's Day?"
Zhou Li: "After six o'clock."
It was their first Valentine's Day after being together.
Although Zhou Li is not the kind of person who has a special sense of ceremony, he also attaches great importance to this festival: "You go to the company to find me in the afternoon? I'm off work and I'm going straight to the holidays."
Jiang Mingzhu: "I don't want to go outside for the holidays, let's spend it at home, there must be a lot of people outside."
Zhou Li thought about it and felt that it made sense, "Then I'll come back and cook."
Jiang Mingzhu: "The dessert shop has a new Valentine's Day cake ......"
She didn't finish speaking, but Zhou Li looked at her longing eyes
I knew what she was going to do.
Jiang Mingzhu crossed her fingers to settle accounts with him: "I haven't eaten cake for a long time."
Zhou Li: "Twenty-three days only."
Jiang Mingzhu: "......"
He must have been an abacus in his last life.
Zhou Li: "You can eat it once during the holidays."
He rarely indulged her, "I'll bring it back for you?"
Jiang Mingzhu immediately changed her smile: "Okay, good, my brother is so good~"
——
On the 13th of February, Jiang Mingzhu mentioned the marriage proposal to other friends around him.
Jiang Mingzhu not only invited friends, but also invited people from the Zhou family.
Jiang Mingzhu shared the news with Mingyue through WeChat.
When she asked Mingyue if she wanted to come over to witness it, Mingyue agreed without saying a word.
Then she immediately went to the rest of the Zhou family to share the news.
When Jin Rou and Zhou Zhanghui heard that Jiang Mingzhu planned to propose to Zhou Li, they were stunned for a moment.
The first to react was Jin Rou: "What's the matter with the fourth child, he just wanted Mingzhu to chase him before, and now he has to ask a girl to take the initiative in proposing marriage, how can he be a big man like this."
Jin Rou's words were disgusted.
As a mother, she doesn't doubt Zhou Li's sincerity to Jiang Mingzhu, but Zhou Li's unexpressive temperament is really worrying.
Jin Rou had long imagined the picture of Zhou Li and Jiang Mingzhu getting married.
During the Spring Festival, Jin Rou and Zhou Zhanghui were still urging Zhou Li to propose, and Zhou Li's answer at that time was picking a time.
Unexpectedly, in the end, it was Jiang Mingzhu who took the initiative to propose.
Ming Yue smiled and comforted Jin Rou: "It doesn't matter, just go back and make up another marriage proposal for the fourth child, Mingzhu must also want to surprise the fourth child romantically."
Jin Rou: "The fourth child, this wood, fortunately, met Mingzhu, other girls are not so used to him."
Mingyue nodded approvingly.
Jiang Mingzhu's enthusiastic and active personality is very complementary to Zhou Li, and the two of them are quite compatible.
Such a big thing, the people of the Zhou family naturally will not miss it from top to bottom.
Even Zhou Ruo, a person who doesn't like to join in the fun, wanted to go over to watch after hearing the news.
Xiao Zuo Xiaoyou was even more excited when she heard the marriage proposal, and directly asked herself if she could be a flower girl.
Zhou Ming was so amused that his stomach hurt: "You only need flower girls to get married, have you ever seen anyone who needs flower girls to propose?"
Zhou Ming's talk of getting married reminded Jin Rou, and she immediately began to go back to discuss the wedding with Zhou Zhanghui.
Jiang Mingzhu has proposed, and it is impossible for Zhou Li not to agree.
The next step is to prepare for the wedding.
Jin Rou herself likes Jiang Mingzhu, and she is a little indebted in the matter of proposing, she must fill the wedding row.
Jin Rou and Zhou Zhanghui said a lot of their own thoughts.
Although Zhou Zhanghui listened patiently, he did not take her thoughts.
Zhou Zhang replied: "The wedding should be according to Mingzhu's meaning, I think she should have her own ideas."
Zhou Zhang replied with a reminder that Jin Rou was empowered: "Yes, then I'll ask Mingzhu tomorrow, and it's all arranged according to her ideas."
——
Jiang Mingzhu originally thought that she would not be nervous about such a thing as a marriage proposal.
But really that night, she couldn't sleep after tossing and turning.
Not only nervous, but also excited.
It's been almost an hour since she was in bed, and she's still turning over.
Zhou Li next to him seemed to be disturbed by her, and opened his eyes to look at her: "Why don't you sleep yet?"
