A person in Wuha: The whole internet is urging me to get back together with my ex!

Shen Luozhi looked at the intense pink diamond.

"You guys have amazing taste," Shen Luozhi smiled.

"Fancy pink is rare to begin with, and this one is not only three carats, but also has top-notch clarity."

"But don't worry, this is the mainstream level, the price isn't that outrageous."

Chen Ye raised an eyebrow.

"Just give me a number."

"The loose diamond is worth about four million six hundred thousand."

Shen Luozhi spoke in a flat tone, as if he were saying that he had eaten a bowl of noodles with soybean paste for four yuan and sixty cents that night.

"As for the ring setting and processing fee, consider it a gift from me, no charge."

Four million six hundred thousand.

The moment those five words were uttered, the living room fell silent.

Chen Ye stood to the side, not even blinking.

This amount of money is nothing compared to his current net worth; the royalties from the copyright of a single song would amount to far more than that.

But the three women next to them reacted very differently.

Sun Li gasped.

Chen's mother was also quite surprised.

Song Ma looked at Chen Ye in surprise.

To be honest, all three of them are quite wealthy. Sun Li's salary from filming TV dramas is enough to buy several of these things.

Having money is one thing, but spending nearly five million to buy a stone is quite another.

Song Ma swallowed.

She looked at Chen Ye, and her eyes completely changed.

Is this kid crazy?

Spending five million to buy Yuqi a ring? If it gets bumped or scratched while she's wearing it, wouldn't you be heartbroken?

Lu Han stood by the sofa and scratched her hair.

"Old Shen, that's not fair of you."

Lu Han pursed her lips.

Shen Luozhi turned his head blankly.

"What's wrong with me?"

"This is my own brother proposing!"

Lu Han walked over and slapped Shen Luozhi on the shoulder.

"Four million six hundred thousand? That number sounds ominous. Hurry up and give me the answer. Can you lower it any further?"

"It's not illegal for brothers to stab each other, is it?"

Shen Luozhi was so angry she laughed.

"Young Master Lu, do you think this is like buying cabbages at Panjiayuan Market?"

Shen Luozhi helplessly shrugged.

"Would I cheat you? The bottom price I paid for this diamond was 4.55 million."

"Logistics, security, plus the fact that I chartered a plane to come over in the middle of the night—I didn't earn a single penny. It was purely to make a friend!"

Lu Han, with his neck stiff, still wanted to continue using his bargaining skills.

A hand reached out from the side and pressed down on Lu Han's shoulder.

Chen Ye pulled Lu Han back a little.

"Alright, Brother Lu," Chen Ye said with a smile.

"There's no reason to haggle over the price when buying an engagement ring. If word gets out, people will think I, Chen Ye, can't afford a wife."

Chen Ye turned to look at Shen Luozhi and nodded directly.

"Four hundred and sixty it is, deal."

He didn't hesitate for even a second.

As long as Song Yuqi is happy wearing it, he'd be happy to swipe the card until it smokes, let alone four million six hundred thousand.

Send me your bank account details via WeChat.

Chen Ye took out his phone and waved it.

"It's too late today, and there's a limit on large transfers. I'll have the finance department transfer the money to your account as soon as the banks open tomorrow."

Shen Luozhi nodded with a smile.

"No problem, no rush."

Having secured the most crucial equipment, Chen Ye relaxed his tense shoulders.

He immediately turned his head, his gaze locking onto another black box on the marble coffee table.

That box was filled with matching top-tier luxury jewelry.

The necklaces and bracelets were all so dazzling that you couldn't take your eyes off them.

Chen Ye's lips curled into a smile.

He turned to look at the three women who were still in shock.

"Aunt, Auntie, Sister Li."

Chen Ye pointed to the jewelry box.

"Take a look at the things in this box, is there anything you like?"

The three of them were stunned at the same time.

"What?" Chen's mother looked at her nephew warily.

"Thank you all for your hard work in choosing rings just now." Chen Ye rubbed his hands together.

"While Mr. Shen is here, each of you pick one item that you like. Consider it your fee for helping me with my selection tonight. It's on me!"

Upon hearing this, the three women waved their hands frantically.

"No, no!" Sun Li waved her hands repeatedly, "I was just joining in the fun, how could I possibly take your things!"

"Xiao Ye, don't waste money!" Aunt Chen exclaimed anxiously, "You're still buying things!"

Song Ma shook her head vigorously, like a rattle-drum.

"Auntie absolutely can't accept this! You bought such expensive things for Yuqi, I don't even know what to say anymore, how can I possibly take your jewelry!"

Seeing the three elders who were resolutely resisting, Chen Ye's attitude instantly became extremely tough.

He strode over to the jewelry box.

"no."

"If you don't vote today, you're disrespecting me."

Chen Ye looked at Song Ma.

"Auntie, if you go back empty-handed, how can I ever call you 'Mom' again?"

This announcement of "Mom" made Song Ma blush bright red.

"What nonsense is this child spouting!"

Song Ma scolded her gently, but she couldn't suppress the smile on her lips.

"Hurry up! One for each person!"

Chen Ye issued an ultimatum directly.

"If I'm not picky, I'll just buy the whole box!"

Shen Luozhi was suppressing a laugh.

Lu Han gave a thumbs up.

The three women looked at each other, knowing that once Chen Ye got stubborn, no one could stop him.

There was no other way but to bite the bullet and walk back to the box.

To save Chen Ye money, the three of them specifically chose styles that looked inconspicuous but had a lot of small diamonds.

Finally, each person chose an exquisite full-diamond bracelet.

Chen Ye glanced at the label.

One costs a little over 100,000. Three together cost less than 500,000.

Chen Ye curled his lip in disdain.

"Old Shen, settle the accounts." Chen Ye snapped his fingers.

Shen Luozhi glanced at the three bracelets.

"Okay, the ring and bracelet will come to a little over five million."

Shen Luozhi waved his hand.

"I'll round down the difference for you. Just have the finance department transfer five million to me tomorrow."

"Thanks, Luo Zhi." Chen Ye readily agreed. It's the rule in business circles that you have to accept a favor when you're given face.

Chen Ye raised his wrist and glanced at the time.

It's almost midnight.

"Did you eat before you came, making you come all this way in the middle of the night?"

Chen Ye asked politely.

"There are a few more main dishes in the kitchen. Would you like to sit down and have a drink?"

Shen Luozhi is an extremely perceptive person.

He glanced at the two elders still drinking in the restaurant in the distance, then immediately smiled and waved.

"No, no." Shen Luozhi pointed to the night outside.

"I've booked a room at the hotel. I need to go back and catch up on some sleep. I have to take people back to Beijing early tomorrow morning, so I won't delay your family reunion."

Seeing this, Chen Ye did not insist on keeping him.

The two added each other on WeChat.

Just when Chen Ye thought the transaction was over, Shen Luozhi suddenly turned around.

He pulled out three exquisitely crafted dark blue velvet boxes from the bottommost compartment of the enormous jewelry box.

Shen Luozhi opened the boxes one by one.

A dazzling diamond necklace, a pair of luxurious full-diamond earrings, and an extremely intricately crafted bracelet.

Conservatively speaking, the total is definitely over 500,000 to 600,000.

Shen Luozhi pushed the three boxes forward.

"I came all this way because I know it's you who's going to propose."

Shen Luozhi spoke sincerely.

"I didn't prepare anything decent as a wedding gift. Consider this jewelry set my personal proposal gift to you and Ms. Yuqi. Please don't find it offensive."

Chen Ye was stunned.

A deal worth five million, and they made someone give a gift worth six hundred thousand.

"This is too valuable, Luo Zhi." Chen Ye reached out to push the box away. "I appreciate your kindness, but I can't take this."

Before he could finish speaking, Lu Han, who had been silent all along, suddenly jumped out.

He grabbed the three boxes and pulled them into his arms.

"It's a gift from Old Shen, why are you refusing it!"

Lu Han frantically winked at Chen Ye.

"Just accept it! Don't be polite with this wicked capitalist! He has more luxury cars in his garage than you've ever written a song!"

Shen Luozhi laughed heartily at Lu Han's bandit-like behavior of guarding his food.

"Okay." Chen Ye laughed heartily, "Then I'll shamelessly accept it."

Chen Ye looked into Shen Luozhi's eyes.

"If you have the chance to go to Shanghai in the future, contact me in advance, and I'll make all the arrangements for you."

"Absolutely." Shen Luozhi's eyes lit up.

"I certainly won't stand on ceremony with you, but when you release a new album in the future, please remember to sign a few copies for me. The girls in my company play your songs in the office every day."

"No problem, plenty." Chen Ye laughed.

Shen Luozhi turned her head and gestured to the two bodyguards standing at the door.

Two bodyguards in black immediately went out, ran to the car, and retrieved the matching luxury packaging box.

Soon, all the jewelry was carefully packed into a pile of blue boxes with gold-stamped logos.

Shen Luozhi fastened the two mostly empty combination lock suitcases and stood up straight.

"Alright, mission accomplished."

Shen Luozhi reached out his hand to Chen Ye.

"If you come to Beijing in the future and Xiao Lu isn't here, just call me anytime. I'll take care of all your food, drinks, and entertainment needs."

Chen Ye grasped his hand and shook it forcefully twice.

"It's a deal. It's the same whether you go to Shanghai or not. Keep in touch anytime, and the money will be transferred to your account on time tomorrow."

Shen Luozhi turned around and politely bowed slightly to Sun Li, Chen Ma, and Song Ma who were standing to the side.

He then left the villa with the two bodyguards.

The door closed.

Chen Ye was holding a pile of blue jewelry boxes in his hands.

He turned around, just about to show off his spoils to Chen He, Deng Chao and his gang.

When Chen Ye looked up, he froze completely in place.

On the long table in the restaurant in the distance, the scene had completely spiraled out of control.

Mr. Chen and Mr. Song are two old men whose combined age is nearly 120.

At this moment, they are leaning against each other with their arms around each other's shoulders.

Holding the large wine dispenser, Song's father, his face as red as a ripe tomato, was shouting at the top of his lungs:

"Brother! Let me tell you! That brat Yuqi is as stubborn as a mule!"

"If she ever dares to mess with Ono again, just call me, and I'll fly over and give her a good beating!"

Mr. Chen held a cigarette in one hand and slammed the other hand on the table:

"Don't worry, bro! With me here, if Xiao Ye dares to bully Yu Qi even a little bit, I won't even need you to lift a finger, I'll break his legs! Come on! Let's have a go!"

"Clang!"

The two glasses collided heavily.

The two tilted their heads back and downed the whole thing in one gulp.

Deng Chao and Teacher He, standing nearby, huddled in a corner, holding their cups, looking utterly helpless.

Chen Ye was dumbfounded.

In less than half an hour, the father-in-law's defenses have completely collapsed?!

Chen Ye carried the box and walked towards the women on the sofa.

Song Ma sat on the leather sofa, clutching the dark blue box containing the diamond bracelet worth over 100,000 yuan tightly in her hand, her palms slightly sweaty.

Her gaze never left Chen Ye.

At the dinner table, although the old man's senses were numbed by alcohol, his mother was still worried.

Yuqi is stubborn; once she's made up her mind about someone, nothing can change it.

She was actually afraid that now that Chen Ye was famous and rich, he would stop caring about Yu Qi.

But just now...

When Shen Luozhi quoted the exorbitant price of "four million six hundred thousand," Song Ma stared at Chen Ye's face.

There was no pain in my wallet, no hesitation.

He simply reached out and stopped the guy who was about to help negotiate the price, and finalized the deal.

That crisp and decisive "deal" hit Song Ma hard in the heart.

Immediately afterwards, Chen Ye turned around and insisted on making her choose jewelry. His half-joking remark, "How will you have the nerve to call me 'Mom' in the future?" completely melted Song Ma's heart.

This guy wasn't showing off; he genuinely cherished Yuqi, and out of love for her, he couldn't wait to integrate into their family.

Looking at her husband, who was not far away, holding a cup and calling his in-laws "brother," Song Ma smiled deeply.

Drink up, drink as much as you want.

Even if the old man sobers up tomorrow and tries to cause trouble, she'll be the first to rush up and cover his mouth tightly.

Once Yuqi was handed over to Chen Ye, she was completely relieved.

.............

I've written 500,000 words, and now I want to share some heartfelt thoughts with my brothers and sisters.

I've basically seen all the comments in the comment section, including the ratings.

To be honest, when I first started writing Yuqi, I didn't expect it to become so popular. One afternoon, a chance encounter reminded me of the opening plot.

Later, as more and more people watched it, it became a hit.

Many other authors may have read my book and written about Yuqi participating in the Five Ha. [If not, then consider me showing off, lol]

Let me explain the character Chen Ye to everyone. Many people think that Chen Ye is too arrogant and conceited.

Sometimes I don't like Jiahao's personality, and I even feel like everyone is just revolving around Chen Ye.

However, according to the data I set, Chen Ye's age in the book is 26, and he began to show his talent four years ago.

At the age of 22, Ye Zi suddenly appeared and became the fifth Heavenly King outside of the Four Heavenly Kings.

Although it's a work by Earth, I think a bit of arrogance is perfectly fine.

To say that Chen Ye disrespects his seniors, think about it: would you speak to your friends with the utmost politeness and respect?

Furthermore, the comparison between Ye Zi and Jia Hao is just a performance element in the live stream. Some people dislike it while others like it; millions of people will have millions of different feelings when watching the same work.

As for the focus on Noko, I think it's perfectly normal, because this is a novel, and if it didn't revolve around Noko, other characters wouldn't be able to develop the story.

I can't possibly write a book from everyone's perspective...

Many people disliked writing about the Lu Han and Dilraba pairing, saying it was boring or they didn't want to read it. I was just writing a side pairing to fulfill a childhood dream of mine.

Oh right, many people have also criticized me for trying to whitewash Baby's image and for smearing someone. Let me clarify, the book is just a book.

In my mind, when writing about the first season of Running Man, I can skip Yuqi, and even skip Dilraba, but I absolutely cannot skip one female guest: Baby.

The Black person is just for the sake of the plot; I haven't named anyone, so please don't take it personally.

Let's talk about the update issue. Many of you are new to me and I used to update a lot.

The reason I haven't been updating frequently lately is twofold: firstly, I've been busy with other things, and secondly, I haven't been feeling well lately.

Secondly, when an author lacks inspiration, writing will be extremely slow.

Third, the author has never experienced a marriage proposal, and I have never even confessed my feelings. I have been hesitant to write about marriage proposals, fearing that I might not meet the expectations of my readers and be disappointed, but I am also afraid that they will say I am being long-winded.

Fourth, and it won't end so quickly. There are still many variety shows that haven't been written yet, such as the original Men's Group, Back to Field, and Divas Hit the Road. It's impossible for it to end.

I've written so much already, it's getting a bit long-winded. I won't say any more, brothers and sisters, thank you for meeting me, thank you for your company, and thank you for reading this far.

I would also like to thank all the brothers and sisters who have given me tips along the way. Whether the tips are large or small, I am truly grateful.

Okay, that's all for now, brothers and sisters, thank you again!
