Regarding the matter of awakening lightning abilities after transformation

Chapter 297, Section 303: Marry Me

TRB Hutong restaurant is located in a century-old courtyard in Beijing. In addition to its main French cuisine, the other dishes also innovatively incorporate elements from multiple countries. Among them, the plum sauce foie gras toast and the golden crispy chicken are the most famous.

As Su Wanxi and I walked through the deep and tranquil ancient Zen temple, night fell, the crisp sound of high heels swayed in the bright moonlight, a few sycamore trees swayed in the wind, and the antique blue stone tiles rippled with scattered and fragmented light.

"Good evening, Ms. Su. Please follow me. Your reserved dining spot is not far ahead."

A young man dressed as a waiter bowed slightly and greeted the two respectfully. Su Wanxi responded indifferently and led Gu Cheng towards the door.

"Wanwan, did you book a private room specifically?"

Gu Cheng thought she was dining in a restaurant, but the waiter led her further and further into the restaurant, and the other guests were quickly left behind.

"Yes, I booked a viewing spot in advance. I can see Donghua Gate directly from the window later."

Su Wanxi arched her eyebrows, her dark eyes reflecting her lover's slender and graceful figure. Gu Cheng subconsciously bit her lip and asked her softly, "Was this meal particularly expensive?"

Just ordering food would incur a 15% service charge, and they were sitting at a viewpoint; Gu Cheng felt a pang of pain at the thought. Su Wanxi smiled at her, gripping her soft hand even tighter.

"Before asking about the price, think about why you got injured. There's no need to have such a heavy psychological burden when you occasionally enjoy life."

"Besides, your Su Wanwan is a little rich girl, she can easily afford this amount of money."

Gu Cheng was wearing clothes that Su Wanxi had customized. A set of clothes cost nearly tens of thousands of yuan, enough for seven or eight meals. Seeing the expectation hidden in her lover's eyes, the girl pursed her lips and said softly, "Okay, I understand."

Gu Cheng thought to herself that if she treated it as a date, she wouldn't feel so bad about spending money, while at the same time she looked down and played with Su Wanxi's fingers.

The two quickly arrived at their table, which was near the moat. A gentle evening breeze blew in their faces. Apart from a light blue tablecloth, there were only two exquisitely crafted wine glasses on the table.

The waiter who was leading the way handed the menu to Su Wanxi, while the waitress standing next to her gently moved the chair and asked the guest if she wanted to hang her coat on the hanger.

Su Wanxi nodded and handed the chiffon veil she was wearing, along with her lover's beret, to the maid.

Su Wanxi ordered the food first. Gu Cheng propped her face up and looked around. She found that this was not a private room, but the table by the window in the restaurant, separated by a wooden counter. The only strange thing was that there was no one dining nearby. The last time they came to TRB, it was full of customers.

Could it be that the price is too high and the company is about to go out of business...? Gu Cheng didn't think too deeply about it and assumed that Su Wanxi was just taking her out for a casual meal.

"Pumpkin soup, foie gras, Napoleon cake, macaroni..." After sketching, Su Wanxi handed the menu and pen to Gu Cheng, who ordered crispy chicken with golden sand and the cheese-baked scallops she had eaten last time, and also asked for an extra glass of iced orange juice.

"TRB is having a promotion today, giving away champagne."

As soon as Su Wanxi finished speaking, the waitress brought two glasses of golden champagne to the table. The stemmed glasses were covered with tiny bubbles near the rim, which were diffused by the orange light.

Gu Cheng didn't originally want to drink, but since she had already given it to him, she couldn't let it go to waste. Besides, she had tasted the wine from this store before, and the taste was indeed superb.

One drink, just to warm things up.

She's an Awakened One; she has a strong ability to metabolize alcohol and doesn't get drunk easily.

As Gu Cheng accepted the wine glass, Su Wanxi lowered her gaze, lightly tugging at her neckline to reveal half of her fair skin. Her delicate collarbone was faintly visible beneath the black collar of her dress, making her incredibly alluring.

Seeing this, Gu Cheng skillfully pinched her lover's chest and pulled Su Wanxi's collar up a little.

"Don't get cold."

"..."

"If I were afraid of the cold, would I still wear a skirt?" Su Wanxi tugged at the corners of her lips, her nonchalant smile almost uncontrollable. The next second, Gu Cheng felt the delicate touch of stockings beneath her, and looking down, she saw two pieces of black jade gently pressing against her calves.

Su Wanxi's legs were slender and long, and they looked even more alluring with the addition of black stockings. The skin tone that was faintly visible would sometimes deepen and sometimes lighten with her movements.

"Su Wanwan?"

No one noticed the movement under the table. Gu Cheng's mouth was slightly open, and her cheeks gradually turned red.

"babble..."

A moment later, the girl suddenly let out a soft moan, her hands supporting her on the dining table. Su Wanxi, satisfied, loosened her heels and smiled slightly.

"Wanwan, why are you stepping on me?"

The heels of the high heels were very hard, but Su Wanxi applied very little force. Gu Cheng only felt something gently poking the instep through the shoe. It didn't hurt, but it itched for a while.

"Orange..." Su Wanxi rested her chin on her hand, her beautiful face radiating a visible allure.

There should be a limit to being clueless about romance.

The woman I like is probably the straightest woman in the universe.

......

The steaming hot baked scallops were served. Gu Cheng had just taken a sip of champagne and hadn't even started eating when Su Wanxi told the waitress to pour on the sauce, which was her favorite orange flavor.

"It smells good."

Gu Cheng took a bite, and the rich jam filled her mouth. The tender scallop meat was a bit like jelly and a bit like long-cooked beef, which really whetted her appetite.

Su Wanxi cut her steak while watching Gu Cheng eat. The latter's movements were slow and her voice was soft, completely out of place compared to the crisp sound of the knife and fork hitting the plate.

"Su Wanwan, have a bite~"

Gu Cheng picked up a piece of steaming scallop meat and presented it to Su Wanxi's lips like a treasure. The woman lowered her head, took it in her mouth, and chewed it slowly.

The meat is delicious, with a sweet and sour flavor.

"It tastes good, then you should try mine."

Su Wanxi also cut a small piece of steak and handed it to her lover with a fork. Gu Cheng was about to take the plate when the other person shook his head.

"Don't use the plate, open your mouth!"

"..."

"Woo~"

Compared to eating alone, the deliciousness of food fed by his girlfriend increased by at least thirty percent. Gu Cheng seemed to understand the sentence written on the TRB menu.

All culinary desires, in essence, are simply forms of experiencing love.

She absolutely adored the cute little woman in front of her.

"Su Wanwan, this macaroni is delicious!"

"I can't finish this Golden Sand Chicken, can you help me finish some?"

The moon outside the window was soft, and the wind was quiet. Gu Cheng drank a little more pumpkin soup and looked up to find Su Wanxi looking at her.

Those dark eyes were beautiful, like the surface of the Lanjiang River reflecting the lights of thousands of homes in summer, their light as thin as fireflies, like stars crushed in the night sky.

"Orange, are you full?" Su Wanxi asked her, her gentle tone carrying a deeper affection than usual.

Gu Cheng answered that she was full, and carefully wiped her mouth with a tissue.

"happy?"

"I'm so happy." I'm happy doing anything with Su Wanxi.

As if she had gone through a fierce internal struggle, the woman pursed her lips and picked up her handbag.

She opened the hidden compartment, took out a small, square box, and slowly placed it on the table.

"Gu Cheng..."

"Will you marry me?"

Section 304, Chapter 298: Entrusting the Rest of My Life

The box, about the size of a palm, was tied with an exquisite black ribbon. Su Wanxi reached out and lifted the lid, revealing a dazzling engagement ring inside.

Gu Cheng had never seen such a dazzling diamond ring. It had a diamond set in the very center. Although she didn’t know the exact size, it was at least the size of a five-cent coin she used to buy spicy snacks when she was a child. In addition to the diamond at the top, the ring was also set with small diamonds all around. There were so many that it was as if diamonds were free.

"Miss Gu, are you willing to entrust the rest of your life to me?"

The high heels scraped against the bricks, making a sharp but not jarring sound. Su Wanxi twirled her skirt, took a step forward with her left leg, her hips naturally sinking down, and knelt on one knee, completely unconcerned about whether the ground was clean or not.

The woman stood ramrod straight, her figure perfectly accentuated by the exquisitely crafted silk dress. Her pretty face appeared even whiter under the moonlight. She was both a dashing suitor and a sophisticated, elegant, and aloof princess.

The waiter had left sometime earlier, leaving only the two of them in the large Western restaurant. Napkins lay on the table, and Gu Cheng covered her mouth with one hand, staring motionlessly at Su Wanxi.

Every brain cell was working frantically at that moment, trying to understand everything that had just happened.

Seeing this, Su Wanxi continued to kneel, gently picked up the diamond ring with her fingers, and presented it to her beloved.

I was proposed to by Su Wanxi... My head felt like it had been hit with a hammer. Gu Cheng opened her mouth slightly, forgetting even how to breathe.

Marry her, marry her, marry her.

A firework exploded in her heart, choking her eyes as well. Gu Cheng felt her vision gradually blurring until only the diamond ring, a symbol of her sincere feelings, remained shining brightly.

"Su Wanwan, get up first."

She wiped her wet right eye and then reached out her other hand to help Su Wanxi up. Wearing high heels was tiring enough, let alone kneeling, which was easy to exhaust her.

Su Wanxi remained unmoved, simply staring at her before gently asking, "Gu Cheng, are you willing?"

Waaah, how could she not want to? At a time like this, what's the point of talking about being reserved? She's practically in love with this big iceberg in front of her.

"I am willing!"

After answering the question, Gu Cheng offered her left hand to Su Wanxi, who gently took it and slipped the ring onto her middle finger.

The ring was cold, and upon closer inspection, there were patterns. Su Wanxi's movements were gentle and devout. After the ring was on, she lowered her head and gently kissed the girl's fair hand.

"I love you, Orange."

"I love you too... Su Wanwan..."

Hearing her lover's slightly sobbing reply, Su Wanxi stood up and raised her hand to wipe away the tears glistening in Gu Cheng's eyes.

"Why are you crying again? Shouldn't you be happy?"

Having cried twice in one day, this person has finally cemented their reputation as a little crybaby. Gu Cheng sniffed her sore nose and pinched Su Wanxi's waist slightly with her fingers.

"Su Wanwan...it was clearly you...who cheated first..."

Tears welled up uncontrollably in her eyes. Gu Cheng swallowed a few times, trying to speak coherently. Su Wanxi took a tissue to help wipe away her tears, her lips curving slightly upward: "Where did I cheat?"

Gu Cheng muttered in reply, "Confessing is one thing... but you even have to... propose to me first."

Why is she like this?

Su Wanxi narrowed her eyes upon hearing this, her tone amused: "Who knows when you'll take the initiative?" In all their years of dating, it had always been her who took the initiative.
