Chapter 1138 The Engagement is Scheduled
Qin Zizhou took Shen Xuening to Yufeng Temple on the mountaintop.
Shen Xuening asked, puzzled, "Why did you bring me here?"
"Come in with me and you'll see." Qin Zizhou led Shen Xuening into Yufeng Temple, then knelt down before the Buddha. "Xuening, I swear to the Buddha that I will love you, treat you well, cherish you, and never let you regret marrying me."
Shen Xuening looked down at Qin Zizhou: "You can't easily make vows in front of Buddha."
Qin Zizhou said with utmost seriousness, "I can do it."
Shen Xuening smiled and then knelt down beside Qin Zezhou: "I will also treat Zizhou seriously. As long as Zizhou's heart remains unchanged, I will always stay by his side."
After they finished speaking, the two smiled at each other and bowed three times to Buddha.
Qin Zizhou stood up and reached out to help Shen Xuening up: "Let's go outside and see the scenery. We haven't had any alone time since we came here."
Shen Xuening chuckled: "Are you jealous?"
"I just don't want to." Qin Zizhou didn't hide anything. "I just want to be alone with you, but reality doesn't allow it."
Shen Xuening said, "We'll be spending a long, long time together in the future, so don't worry about temporary gains or losses."
Qin Zizhou said, "To refute your statement, ten thousand years is too long; we should seize the day."
Shen Xuening: “…”
Qin Zizhou's gaze suddenly froze: "There are many flowers over there. I'll make you a flower wreath and take pictures of you later, okay? You look so beautiful today, I must take many pictures of you."
Shen Xuening looked down at herself: "Am I beautiful?"
Qin Zizhou looked at Shen Xuening and said, word by word, "You're stunning. I was completely mesmerized the first time I saw you. My fiancée is simply breathtakingly beautiful."
Shen Xuening smiled: "Your description..."
Qin Zizhou hugged Shen Xuening, then walked along one side of the temple toward the woods next to it, where there were many wildflowers. He picked them and made a flower wreath for Shen Xuening.
Shen Xuening stood aside and watched him: "I've heard that there's a kind of makeup called 'flower hairpin,' and I'd like to try it."
Qin Zizhou immediately became serious upon hearing this: "When do you want to go? I can take you right away."
Shen Xuening immediately said, "Don't rush, let's go in the summer." She was really afraid that Qin Zizhou would take her there right away. He had previously offered to take her in a plane, but she had declined.
Qin Zizhou said, "Summer will be here soon."
Shen Xuening said, "I need to make arrangements first if you want to go; it can't be rushed."
Qin Zizhou, the fiercely protective husband, said: "Then let me know when you've made your arrangements. I'll go with you wherever you go."
Shen Xuening agreed: "Okay."
Qin Zizhou picked a lot of flowers and vines, and brought them all to Shen Xuening: "Watch me weave a beautiful flower wreath for you."
Shen Xuening looked expectant: "Okay."
Qin Zizhou suddenly asked, "By the way, I saw a flower wreath in your house. Who gave it to you?"
Shen Xuening asked, amused, "Are you jealous?"
Qin Zizhou readily admitted, "A little."
Shen Xuening explained, "It was given to me by a young girl from the second team. She said she liked me very much and specially made a flower wreath for me."
"Oh." Qin Zizhou's jealousy subsided. "I thought it was a gift from some man."
Shen Xuening poked Qin Zizhou's cheek: "I kept the flower wreath. How could it have been given to me by some man?"
Qin Zizhou defended her, saying, "You're so perfect, countless men would want to take advantage of you. I don't want to give them that chance."
Shen Xuening replied firmly, "No."
Qin Zizhou looked at Shen Xuening: "You are mine."
Shen Xuening answered earnestly, "Yes, as long as you cherish it, everything is yours."
Qin Zizhou said, "Of course we cherish it. It's been so hard for us to get to this point. Long-distance relationships are the hardest, and we're getting married soon."
Shen Xuening nodded in agreement: "Yes, once you get past the long-distance relationship, everything goes smoothly."
As they spoke, Qin Zizhou finished weaving the wreath, then held it up to Shen Xuening's head to compare: "My skills are just so good, I wove it just the right size."
Shen Xuening wasn't going to spoil the fun and laughed, "Of course, you're the one who knows me best."
Qin Zizhou began to adorn the wreath with flowers, and after adding a few, he showed it to Shen Xuening: "How is it? Does it look good?"
Shen Xuening nodded: "It looks good. It will definitely look even better when it's fully woven."
Qin Zizhou raised his eyebrows: "Wait, it'll be finished soon."
Shen Xuening waited quietly to the side.
Qin Zizhou's fingers were long, with distinct knuckles, and fair and beautiful. The wreath gradually took shape in his palm, becoming more and more beautiful. The small purple and red flowers matched Shen Xuening perfectly, as if they were tailor-made for her, and looked beautiful.
After finishing the flower wreath, Qin Zizhou showed it to Shen Xuening: "How is it? My skills are pretty good, right?"
Shen Xuening praised, "It's quite good, I'll try it on."
Qin Zizhou placed the flower wreath on Shen Xuening's head, adjusted its height, and then admired Shen Xuening's beauty: "So beautiful, so gorgeous. To be able to marry you, my life is worth living."
Shen Xuening chuckled: "You're only in your twenties, and you already know whether it's worth it or not?"
Qin Zizhou said seriously, "Of course I know. I've known what I want since I was a child, and I've always worked hard for it. So, from childhood to adulthood, I've gotten everything I wanted."
Shen Xuening was somewhat impressed: "You have clearer goals than me. Before I turned eighteen, I just played around and never thought about any goals."
Qin Zizhou said, "Then you are still so talented."
Shen Xuening said, "That's because my previous family enrolled me in a lot of tutoring classes. I had to go to class every day. Later, when I got older, I learned everything I needed to learn, and I had more time. With more time, I could go play."
Qin Zizhou realized he didn't know much about Shen Xuening: "So what do you play?"
Shen Xuening replied truthfully, "I've done everything I wanted to do, except for people."
Qin Zizhou smiled and said, "Then take me out for some fun sometime?"
Shen Xuening readily agreed: "Sure, as long as you have time."
Qin Zizhou said, "I'll definitely have time to keep you company. Just wait, I'll take you to all the places you've played before. It's good that we rarely play together."
Shen Xuening nodded: "No problem."
Qin Zizhou then asked, "So, who were you playing with?"
Shen Xuening said, "There are quite a lot of people, including Zhang Qianwen and some classmates."
Qin Zizhou asked curiously, "Classmates? Today is your engagement, did your classmates call you?"
Shen Xuening nodded: "I did call, and I received a lot of calls. The phone is still ringing now, so I put it on vibrate mode. I don't want to answer it anymore."
Qin Zizhou said, "I received a lot of calls today, but I don't want to answer them anymore. My phone is vibrating."
Shen Xuening suppressed a laugh: "It seems we have quite similar personalities."
Qin Zizhou said, "Of course, the more we spend time together, the more similar we'll look."
Shen Xuening said, "I've seen this situation before, but we're both so good-looking, it's fine if we look alike, we're a couple."
Qin Zizhou smiled happily: "Yes, we look like a married couple."
As she spoke, her phone rang again. Shen Xuening glanced at it and saw it was a classmate she didn't know. So she didn't answer it and put her phone back in her bag: "They took a picture."
"Okay." Qin Zizhou took out his phone, adjusted the mode, and started taking pictures of Shen Xuening.
There were many tourists nearby who stopped to watch when they saw them taking pictures.
"It's so beautiful. I don't know how ugly I would look if I wore this cheongsam, but it looks perfect on you. Your figure is absolutely amazing."
"It's so beautiful, even as a girl, I feel mesmerized."
"It's so beautiful, it's a visual feast. The man next to her is also so handsome, both noble and dashing. The two of them look so well-matched."
"If my boyfriend looked like this, I wouldn't sleep at night."
"How can I find a girlfriend this beautiful? I'm waiting online, I'm really anxious."
"..."
The onlookers were all stunned by the beauty filter; their appearance was a pleasure to look at.
Surrounded by onlookers, Qin Zizhou finished taking photos of Shen Xuening. He was so reluctant to stop that he took more than a hundred photos before he was done: "We'll take more next time, there are too many people now."
Shen Xuening also noticed the people around her, but seeing how enthusiastic Qin Zizhou was about taking pictures, she didn't want to spoil the mood and say, "Okay, let's go down the mountain."
Qin Zizhou took Shen Xuening's hand, and the two went down the mountain together.
The crowd watched them until they were out of sight, then turned and dispersed.
When Liu Juan saw the two return, she asked with concern, "Where did you go?"
Qin Zizhou replied, "Auntie, we went to Yufeng Mountain."
Liu Juan asked curiously, "Are you going to play?"
Qin Zizhou replied with a smile, "Yes, we need to enjoy some time alone together. There are too many people here."
Liu Juan said, "Then you can play a little longer. There's nothing to do at home now, so there's no need to rush back."
Qin Zizhou said, "We've had our fun, now we're back to rest."
Liu Juan smiled and nodded: "Okay, you can go upstairs and rest."
The two then went upstairs.
Back in Shen Xuening's room, Qin Zizhou sent the photos he had just taken to Shen Xuening, and then posted a nine-grid photo of Shen Xuening on his WeChat Moments with the caption: "Fiancée!"
Shen Xuening also posted on her WeChat Moments: "The day of our engagement."
After posting, the two liked each other's posts.
Upon seeing the news, their mutual friend immediately commented: "Congratulations, President Qin and President Shen, you're finally engaged! I've been waiting for this day for so long."
Looking at the comments, Shen Xuening asked Qin Zizhou with a puzzled expression, "Do you know this person? I don't recognize him. What is he hoping for if we get married?"
Qin Zizhou pointed out the other person's information, and after reading it, he suddenly realized: "It's that senior of ours, the one we bumped into when we went to the school's club activities. She said we would get married in the future, don't you remember?"
