Chapter 537 - 542: Let’s Elope
Xing Chen leaned over and kissed her forehead, pulling her whole body into his arms.
He gently patted her back with one hand, as if he were caring for his most precious treasure.
"Take the money and come find me, we’ll elope."
His voice was very light, clearly joking.
Ran Xiangsi couldn’t help but laugh, "Good idea."
The originally heavy topic was easily resolved between their laughter and conversation.
After embracing for a moment, Xing Chen opened his eyes, his gaze somewhat empty, as if recalling something.
"You will love London. There’s Big Ben, the London Eye, and the Ferris wheel built on the river. When it’s foggy, you don’t need to cover your eyes, you can play hide-and-seek in the manor. In winter, Ping Le can take you sledding. He has a dozen huskies and Samoyeds. Once you’re familiar with them, they’ll surround you to keep you warm."
Xing Chen grew up there. Even after all these years away, recalling his childhood would still make his eyes fill with longing and nostalgia.
Fortunately, though he had a strict father, he had a gentle mother.
His mother occasionally helped cover for him, allowing him and the brothers Ping’an and Ping Le to sneak out and run all over London.
Listening to him describe it so well, Xiangsi couldn’t help but feel a bit moved.
"That sounds amazing... I didn’t expect your childhood to be so exciting." Xiangsi sounded a bit envious.
She hadn’t had such wonderful experiences during her childhood.
At this point, Xing Chen fell silent for a moment. When he spoke again, his voice was noticeably more subdued, "That was all before coming to A City."
After being kidnapped once upon arriving in A City, he had never found happiness again, until he met her.
Xiangsi understood his meaning. She didn’t say anything, just silently embraced his waist and changed the subject.
"When do you plan to go back? Didn’t you say before that you were going to attend a friend’s wedding?" Xiangsi frowned slightly, vaguely remembering Xing Chen mentioning attending the wedding of a global president.
"I’ll return to the Southern Federation after attending their wedding. His wife is a wonderful person; you’ll like her." Xing Chen hadn’t forgotten Quan Rui’s wedding. Fortunately, it was two days away, just enough time for him to handle current affairs.
"Mm." Xiangsi nodded, already fantasizing about the image of that girl in her mind.
A woman praised by Xing Chen couldn’t be bad.
...
The public announcement of Xing Chen and Ran Xiangsi’s relationship spread throughout A City in less than half an hour.
Chu Xiaoge, after class, didn’t go to Gambling Stone City, but went straight back to his rental apartment, made some instant noodles, and watched the news while eating.
Just in time to see the live broadcast of Xing Chen and Ran Xiangsi announcing their relationship.
On screen, Xiangsi was gazing at Xing Chen with deep affection, their eyes filled with love.
The TV announcer’s pleasant voice could be heard, "President Xing’s secret wife has finally been revealed. They truly seem deeply in love. Let’s all wish them happiness!"
Then the scene switched to a yacht wedding. Whatever the host was saying next, Chu Xiaoge didn’t pay attention to.
She stopped eating her noodles, her eyes red, not knowing what to do with her excitement.
"Xiangsi, it’s wonderful that you found a good ending... You two have always been so in love, the people most deserving to be together in the world. Seeing you settled down, I can be at peace... My studies are nearing completion, and I’ll go for an internship out of town. Once my heart calms down, I will come back to find you, Xiangsi... Wishing you happiness."
