Regarding the matter of awakening lightning abilities after transformation

Gu Cheng finally calmed her breathing and muttered, "No, I plan to propose to you after I meet your father."

"Really?" Su Wanxi asked with a smile.

"I'd be a dog if I lied to you."

Whether it was a puppy or not, the man knew in his heart. The woman didn't ask any further questions, but simply reached out and ruffled his disheveled brown hair.

"The ring is on, it doesn't matter who proposes, the key is whether you receive my feelings, Orange." Su Wanxi grabbed Gu Cheng's chin, her breath sweet as orchids, her dark eyes full of tenderness.

Seemingly burned by the deep affection in her lover's eyes, Gu Cheng shrank back, lowered her head, and hummed in agreement.

"Honestly, you should have told me about this sooner!"

It was only later that she realized TRB wasn't on the verge of closing down, but rather that Su Wanxi had booked the entire venue in advance, and that the two glasses of champagne were something her lover had tricked her into drinking.

"If I tell you in advance, the surprise will disappear."

Su Wanxi patted her legs, and the dust stuck to her stockings was absorbed by gravity and fell onto the floor tiles.

"This ring was made before you came back. Take a look and see if the size is right. If not, I'll order a new one."

Gu Cheng touched the back of her hand; the silver-white diamond ring was quietly slipped onto her middle finger, not a penny more or less.

"It feels just right, it won't fall off."

She shook her hand, and the dazzling diamonds sparkled in the moonlight. Gu Cheng noticed two English letters on the back of the ring, the initials of her name, G and C, and felt another surge of emotion.

"Wanwan, how did you manage to buy such an accurate size?"

They hadn't been to a jewelry store in Lanjiang, let alone had the chance to try on rings. Su Wanxi was stunned for a moment when she heard this, but quickly said slowly, "I did test it, but my technique might not have been very accurate."

Chapter 299, Section 305: Love and Being Loved

Despite Gu Cheng's repeated questioning, Su Wanxi still refused to reveal the specific time and location of the measurement, only looking at her with a smile in her eyes.

"Since you've accepted the proposal, from today onwards, Miss Gu is Su Wanxi's fiancée. You're not allowed to run off behind my back anymore."

Hearing her lover's slightly domineering words, Gu Cheng looked at the diamond ring on her hand, her brows softening even more.

"If I'm your fiancée, then what are you? Your fiancé?" the girl asked, pursing her lips as she gently placed her right hand over the back of her left, revealing only a few slender white fingers and the diamond ring that sparkled under the light.

Su Wanxi glanced sideways, her fair face flushed slightly from the alcohol, and her alluring lips were luscious and tempting, making her an absolute beauty.

"To the outside world, I can be the glamorous and admired eldest daughter of the Su family, or I can be a cold and aloof iceberg CEO..." Su Wanxi picked up her wine glass and took a small sip, her slender, snow-white neck moving slightly as she swallowed, her movements light yet exuding an indescribable sexiness and charm.

"...But internally, I am Su Wanwan, whom only you can see."

The woman's deep, magnetic voice was carried into her ears by the evening breeze. Gu Cheng rubbed the ring a few times, and a tingling warmth spread from her chest and gradually flowed into her limbs.

She had received enough surprises tonight: a dazzling engagement ring, a French restaurant where only the two of them remained, and a tender and intimate love confession.

The romantic gene may be rooted in everyone's bones. Gu Cheng is particularly fond of Su Wanxi's combination of fine wine and beautiful women. Who doesn't want to be pampered and loved like a child, kissed, hugged, and lifted high in the air?

When the burning passion reached its peak again, Gu Cheng stood up and leaned close to Su Wanxi, pressing his lips hard against the other's lips that were constantly arousing desire.

Mo Tong was slightly stunned, but quickly got into the mood. The air was filled with a sizzling sound that made people blush and their hearts race. As the kiss became more passionate, Gu Cheng suddenly felt a pair of slender arms wrap around her back. Su Wanxi spread her legs apart, almost pulling the girl into her arms.

Outside, the shadows of the trees swayed gently, the rustling of leaves blending with the elegant music of a violin. Two stunningly beautiful women embraced passionately, bathed in the silvery moonlight.

"call..."

As soon as Su Wanxi loosened her lips, Gu Cheng had already turned into a puddle of spring water and lay in her arms, her fingers idly playing with her dark hair as she ran her fingers around her shoulder.

"Are you tired?" Su Wanxi asked her.

"Yeah, I'm exhausted."

Gu Cheng quietly enjoyed the warm jade armchair. Her voice wasn't as sweet as usual; it sounded more like she was sucking on a big, soft marshmallow.

"...Heartbroken?" Su Wanxi repeated, reaching out to place her hand on the girl's left chest, downwards. Through the fabric and fat, she could feel a faint pulsation at her fingertips.

"I was so excited when someone proposed to me for the first time that I could hardly breathe."

Unlike most women, Gu Cheng's thinking was still stuck in the past, a few years ago, when she was the one proposing to the girl she loved, rather than the one passively accepting the declaration of love. This shock was akin to waking up one morning to find herself transformed from a normal man into a delicate young woman.

"If you want, I can ask multiple times, to the movie theater, the amusement park, the aquarium, or even my bedroom at home."

Su Wanxi softened her tone and gently licked the girl's sensitive earlobe with the tip of her tongue until Gu Cheng made a soft moaning sound before she stopped.

"Once is enough."

After resting for a while, Gu Cheng got down from Su Wanxi's arms. The latter crossed her legs, and her dark black silk dress was wrinkled by the girl.

"Tell me honestly, Su Wanwan, who taught you to propose like this?"

Not only did they book the entire venue in advance, but they also prepared the diamond ring and the proposal pose flawlessly. Gu Cheng was completely captivated the moment the ring appeared.

Who could resist a dignified and aloof woman with long, straight black hair kneeling down to propose? Especially since she was his first love, the white moonlight he cherished and couldn't bear to part with. Gu Cheng's heart melted.

"We met in college," Su Wanxi replied truthfully.

University... Gu Cheng pondered these two words in her heart, and suddenly remembered Qin Kexin's casual remark that Captain Su's suitors could line up from the north gate of the University of Economics and Business all the way to the south gate.

"Huh? Someone proposed to you?!" As if she had caught some incredible information, Gu Cheng suddenly bristled, her voice rising several octaves as she hugged Su Wanxi's collarbone and kissed and nibbled at it.

"..."

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Su Wanxi pinched his fiancée's cheek, clearly displeased, his tone half shy and half annoyed: "I've never even had a boyfriend, where would someone propose to me?"

"Not having had a boyfriend doesn't mean no one has proposed. My Su Wanwan is so perfect, there are bound to be a few clueless guys who won't take the plunge..."

Gu Cheng's voice grew softer as she spoke, as if she was worried that her lover would misunderstand her. Her fingers unconsciously fiddled with her bangs. Su Wanxi could probably tell what the other was worried about.

This little coward is already prone to getting jealous all the time, and even after agreeing to the proposal, she's still overthinking things.

The woman punished Gu Cheng by poking his forehead a few times until he covered his forehead before she let go. She leaned down and put her arm under his armpit, then pulled her wife into her arms and carefully explained in his ear, "She's a junior in my department. I heard she's been dating her boyfriend for five or six years. On Valentine's Day in our junior year, I happened to run into him proposing when I returned to school after a mission."

"It was snowing that day. I changed my boots in the car and was about to go to the counselor to complete the procedures. The girls' dormitory was right in front of the teaching building and next to the library."

"When I passed by, I saw a tall, thin boy standing at the bottom of the building. He was wearing casual clothes and sneakers, and there were roses, tulips, and blue and white baby's breath next to him."

Gu Cheng's attention was completely drawn to the story. Su Wanxi lowered her head and kissed the spot she had just poked, then continued, "About five or six minutes later, a short-haired girl wearing a cotton-padded jacket came out of the dormitory building. Well, she was a little shorter than you but taller than Qin Kexin, and she was wearing square-framed glasses."

"I still remember the girl's expression when she accepted the ring, and the tears that kept rolling down her scarf and collar."

The light in Su Wanxi's eyes was uncertain. Gu Cheng bit her lip and secretly slipped her fingers into her lover's palm.

"Orange, if you hadn't appeared in time, I can't imagine how I would have continued living." Without goals, without motivation, all the excitement was consumed by the sound of gunfire.

That was the lowest point in Su Wanxi's life, filled with loneliness and self-doubt. Fortunately, before she was completely worn down, a lovely girl suddenly appeared like an elf. She was gentle and kind, wrote neat and tidy regular script, and could make her favorite sweet and sour pork.

"Gu Cheng, it's not that I chose you, but that you saved me."

Chapter 306, Section 300: It's all Su Wanwan's fault.

Late spring and early summer is the most comfortable time of year when the evening breeze is blowing. After dinner, Su Wanxi took the initiative to suggest taking Gu Cheng for a walk nearby. The Forbidden City is right next to the TRB, and it closes at 5:30 pm. They didn't go in, but just walked slowly around the moat.

As they left the restaurant, the dark clouds dissipated, and the moon hung high in the sky. The woman's long, black hair, draped over her shoulders, was illuminated by the moonlight, appearing as white as snow. Close to her earlobes, it resembled delicate flower stamens, gently and lightly supporting her pretty face.

Walking on the ancient and smooth stone path, Su Wanxi heard the crisp sound of footsteps clashing together, accompanied by a girl humming a light and melodious tune.

At first, it sounded like Pachelbel's Canon in D major, but later it resembled Beethoven's famous Moonlight Sonata. The woman was too embarrassed to ask directly, so she calmed down and pondered carefully, finally confirming that Gu Cheng was just humming randomly without any specific pitch.

She was very happy tonight, Su Wanxi thought to herself, and just realizing this made her lips curl into a smile.

TRB reservations typically require a week's advance notice, and the conditions for booking the entire venue are naturally even more stringent. Su Wanxi only informed the catering provider two days in advance, and she will have to bear the resulting breach of contract fees and negative effects.

However, judging from the result alone, Su Wanxi did not regret it. Love needs some romantic embellishment in addition to management. She had not seen Gu Cheng smile so happily in a long time, her light brown eyes curving like crescent moons.

Su Wanxi also didn't tell Gu Cheng that her decision to propose today wasn't a spur-of-the-moment thing, but rather a well-thought-out consideration. After meeting with the Ying Qiuhuai Ruins, she sensed some subtle changes in Gu Cheng, changes that weren't just outwardly apparent, but rather a vague, lingering feeling.

It's as if the girl will suddenly leave one day, without any warning, like a kite with a broken string flying into the sky.

Su Wanxi hated this feeling of powerlessness, so she secretly used some tricks, including, but not limited to, changing into Gu Cheng's favorite ribbon dress, wearing a sexier women's perfume, and having an engagement ring that could keep her by her side.

Gu Cheng's performance when meeting the parents tomorrow will be crucial. Su Wanxi also hopes to use this proposal to show her attitude: no matter how difficult Su Changqing makes things, she will always stand by her side.

That diamond ring was the battle flag that accompanied the girl in her battle.

"It's all your fault, Wanwan. You said you wouldn't drink today but you still broke your vow." Gu Cheng complained softly, her fingers gently scratching her palm as she smelled the faint scent of alcohol on her. "I'm going to take a good shower when I get back and wash off the smell of alcohol before I go to sleep."

Upon hearing this, Su Wanxi's eyelashes trembled slightly, and she then pulled the two of them holding hands to her nose and sniffed them lightly.

“It doesn’t smell of alcohol.” She paused, then added, “It smells quite nice.”

As Su Wanxi expected, Gu Cheng pursed her lips to hide the shyness in her eyes, turned her head and continued humming a tune, her gaze unconsciously falling on the light on her left hand.

"Su Wanwan, why do you think engagement rings are worn on the middle finger?"

The girl peeked out her delicate hand from her sleeve; her five fingers were as tender as bamboo shoots, swaying captivatingly. Su Wanxi stared at them for a while, then said leisurely, "Wearing a diamond ring on the left middle finger signifies being deeply in love or engaged, and it's said to bring good luck to the relationship."

"What about the ring finger?" Gu Cheng couldn't help but ask, as she had always thought that diamond rings were worn on the ring finger.

"From a physiological perspective, there is a blood vessel in the ring finger that goes directly to the heart. People believe that this finger is the closest to the heart. Wearing a wedding ring here means loyalty to love and marriage, and also means that you are in my heart."

Even though she knew Su Wanxi was just answering her questions, Gu Cheng still felt a tremor in her heart when she heard the last few words, and her eyes even stung a little.

She's so kind.

"Su Wanwan, I'll let it go this time, but you're not allowed to secretly look at the wedding ring behind my back."

"...Well, it seems like this isn't really suitable for me to buy alone."

After being stared at by Su Wanxi as if she were an idiot for a long time, Gu Cheng finally realized how stupid her previous statement had been.

Wedding rings are a pair of matching rings; what couple doesn't look at the rings together before getting married?

Gu Cheng thought to herself, "She must have drunk too much tonight. It's all Su Wanxi's fault."

After walking around half of the moat, she heard the wind rustling through the sycamore leaves. Her blood, which had been rising with excitement, gradually cooled down, and the girl suddenly realized that the outdoor temperature was not actually that high. Her limbs were even a little cold. She shivered a few times and hugged Su Wanxi, breathing softly on her skin.

"cold?"

Feeling a soft piece of jade against her arm, Su Wanxi lowered her head, her gaze falling on her lover's fair and slender calves and the chestnut-colored bandage sandals that clung tightly to his ankles. His crystal-clear toes were neatly arranged in a single line from the ends, delicate and adorable.

"Hmm, I should wear more clothes."

Gu Cheng thought to herself, "It's all Su Wanxi's fault. She's the one who made me wear a skirt."

"Then let's go home, don't catch a cold."
