Pang Shi contacted Bin Cong Meng's assistant and learned that Bin Cong Meng had just booked the earliest flight to leave here.
The plane would take off at three o'clock in the afternoon and it was now twelve o'clock at noon.
Seeing Pang Shi immediately let go of the chopsticks and wanted to run out, Sheng Xing Ze hurriedly stopped him, "We have three hours to get to the airport. Senior, don't get panic."
"I have called my assistant, and he will be here soon." Yu Bai put down his phone and said in a deep voice.
Sheng Xing Ze looked at Yu Bai and did a "yeah" sign with his fingers under the table, Yu Bai quietly held his two fingers.
Sheng Xing Ze's face got a little hot, but he was reluctant to pull his hand away.
The three of them hurriedly left the hot pot restaurant after paying their bill.
Yuan Yuan's car stopped downstairs, and after the three people got in, he quickly stepped on the pedal and raced towards the airport.
Sheng Xing Ze and Yu Bai sat in the back seat, one on the left and one on the right, looking out the window in deep thoughts.
Pang Shi had been quietly contacting Bin Cong Meng's assistant while sitting in the passenger seat, keeping track of their whereabouts.
"The assistant said that Meng Meng is stuck in the traffic jam and may not be able to catch the plane on time. Now Meng Meng is hesitating whether to change it to seven in the evening," Pang Shi held onto the phone while turning to Sheng Xing Ze saying excitedly.
As soon as Sheng Xing Ze's attention turned to the issue at hand, he immediately had another set of plans, "Try to persuade Meng Meng to switch to another time."
Pang Shi sent a message to Bin Cong Meng's assistant.
"Then we're going to look for a nearby jewelry store now!" Sheng Xing Ze leaned over to the driver seat and told Yuan Yuan so.
"Where and why do we go there?" Pang Shi looked at him puzzled.
"To pick out a ring, and then do a vigorous marriage proposal before Sister Meng gets on the plane. Aren't you planning to make it public anyway?" Sheng Xing Ze picked up his phone to look up the nearest jewelry store.
Pang Shi slapped his head in annoyance, "I forgot."
"Go to Azure Plaza," Yu Bai, who had been not saying anything, suddenly spoke up.
Azure Plaza is the largest commercial square near the airport. With its special purchase channels, many limited editions that do not appear in other malls would be sold here. Although the location is relatively remote, it still attracts a large number of customers.
Sheng Xing Ze immediately remembered this store after being reminded by him, "Film Emperor Yu, you're a real help." He patted Yu Bai's lap and exclaimed.
"Owe me," Yu Bai suddenly said those words, thinking that he would hold this person in his arms and make the younger man pay everything to him including the interests.
Sheng Xing Ze was confused by these words, "What?"
Yu Bai did not answer, glancing at Sheng Xing Ze with an indescribable expression.
Sheng Xing Ze...Sheng Xing Ze was even more confused.
**
Yuan Yuan parked the car at the door of Azure Plaza, and Pang Shi, who had been checking the location of the jewelry store while they were on the road, rushed towards his destination as soon as they parked and went straight to the jewelry store.
"Sir, may I..."
The shop assistant stepped forward to offer her assistance, Pang Shi quickly interrupted her, "Engagement ring, the newest design, I'm in a rush, please hurry."
The shop assistant nodded and walked on her high heels to guide Pang Shi over to her desk.
Sheng Xing Ze and Yu Bai were sitting in the car, the two looked at each other as they both did not want to get off the car.
Yuan Yuan peeked at the two in the backseat through the rear view mirror. Although there was no intimate move, he could always feel pink bubbles spreading between the two.
When Brother Sheng will accept Brother Yu.
He screamed in his heart and thought about when that time comes—my mom will not have to worry about me being unemployed!
Yuan Yuan dreamed beautifully.
Yu Bai took the lead in breaking the silence, "I thought you would help pick the ring."
Sheng Xing Ze looked at him strangely, "I have no experience, it is better to let him discuss with the shop assistant himself."
"Let's go, let's see how it goes, it's boring to wait here," Main point: there was a big ass third wheel in the car.
Yuan Yuan felt a sudden cold shiver running down his spine.
Yu Bai dragged Sheng Xing Ze out of the car, and walked into the jewelry store with much familiarity.
"Hello, young master," The shop assistant greeted him with a smile. The smile was quite brilliant and sweet, which made the molars in anyone's mouth aching from the sweetness.
Sheng Xing Ze followed the shop assistant's eyes to himself and to Yu Bai, "Young master?" he asked, emphasizing the last tone.
"This commercial plaza belongs to my family," Yu Bai replied with a nonchalant face.
Sheng Xing Ze's mouth twitched, and Yu Bai revealed a professional smirk with a row of teeth. He had been fooling around the man for so long, he had almost forgotten that Yu Bai is actually the second generation of a wealthy family.
Oh, it's really a wicked rich man.
He turned around and left Yu Bai to stare at his back.
A man that has similar features as Yu Bai approached them and hugged Yu Bai's shoulder familiarly, "Da Bai, why are you here, hanging out with 'friend'?" He winked his eye at Yu Bai ambiguously.
Yu Bai scornfully dodged the devil's claws from the man, "Don't be a smartass."
"Hello this little brother, I'm Yu Lan, Da Bai's brother."
Two voices said simultaneously.
No matter what Yu Bai said, Yu Lan turned Yu Bai's hand away from stopping him as he stretched out his hand to Sheng Xing Ze.
Sheng Xing Ze could not help but smirk when he heard the introduction: Father Yu and Mother Yu were quite convenient at naming their kids, Xiao Lan and Xiao Bai. If they were to have a daughter, wouldn't she be named Xiao Fan? [1]
"Hello, I'm Sheng Xing Ze."
Yu Bai slapped Yu Lan's hand with one hand, while the other grabbed onto Sheng Xing Ze's hand that had just stretched out. His tone was impatient, "Why are you here?"
"Just for observation," Yu Lan looked at him as if it was the normal thing.
"Then you can continue with your observation, don't get in the way here," Yu Bai waved his hand like waving away flies, and asked his brother to leave quickly.
Yu Lan refused to do as his little brother said. He had always heard his mother talking about this Sheng Xing Ze every time, but this was the first time he saw the real person, and he was very curious about this person who is receiving his brother's special treatment.
He asked the female shop assistant to go on with her work, while he stayed behind with Sheng Xing Ze and Yu Bai.
He reached over Yu Bai, who was standing in between him and Sheng Xing Ze, to speak to Sheng Xing Ze, "Today, this big brother will accompany you to go shopping. What Xing Xing wants to get today, I can get it for you as a greeting gift from the big brother to my brother X..."
Yu Bai covered Yu Lan's mouth with a smile. Yu Lan's eyes were full of amusement. When he was dragged away by his brother, he did not forget to wave to Sheng Xing Ze.
Sheng Xing Ze looked at the brothers blankly, lowered his head and smiled, then focused his attention on the counter.
"What are you doing!" Yu Bai looked at Sheng Xing Ze who was not far away and yelled at Yu Lan in a low voice.
Yu Lan's peach bloosom eyes stared at his brother amusingly, "Still haven't confessed yet, why you are so hardheaded, you're planning to be this stubborn for the rest of your life."
"Shut it."
"Ok, Ok," Yu Lan raised his hands to make a surrender look. The next sentence made Yu Bai want to throw him out of here, "I wonder if Mom knows that you still haven't confessed to the other yet, what she would do."
Yu Bai coldly returned to Sheng Xing Ze's side and said softly, "Is there anything you like?"
"Do you like this?" Sheng Xing Ze pointed to the golden bunny at the counter, which was a gift for children, "How about I give it to you?"
Yu Bai looked at the little bunny and was a little embarrassed, but when he saw Sheng Xing Ze's sparkling eyes, he immediately compromised, "I do."
Sheng Xing Ze quickly paid for it, "I will put it on you?"
Yu Bai once again compromised.
When Pang Shi came out, he happened to see this scene, "Xing Ze," right when he shouted out, Yu Lan hurriedly pulled him aside, not letting him disturb the two people over there.
Knowing that Pang Shi did not have enough money on him, Yu Lan helped him pay the bill for the ring.
After Pang Shi got into the car, he told Yu Bai that once the director pays him for the film, he would return the money to Yu Bai. That was when Yu Bai knew that Yu Lan helped him pay for the ring. He decided to remove a few marks under Yu Lan's name in his black book.
Pang Shi arrived at the airport at four o'clock. Bin Cong Meng's assistant told him that Bin Cong Meng had been sitting at the check-in gate waiting for check-in time.
Pang Shi was about to see his sweetheart soon, so he could not careless about Sheng Xing Ze and Yu Bai. He quickly passed the TSA check in by himself and ran towards the check-in gate that Bin Cong Meng was at from her assistant.
There were people at the airports who were also in a hurry to catch their flight, but not that many. Pang Shi's appearance soon attracted the attention of many people.
The mask on his face made it quite difficult for him to breath, so Pang Shi took it off without hesitation.
"Meng Meng!"
He saw a familiar figure, he shouted, more and more people were attracted to him, many people started to recognize him, took out their phones and started taking pictures.
There was quite a commotion at the scene for a short moment.
Bin Cong Meng turned around when hearing Pang Shi calling out to her, she quickly found Pang Shi running towards her.
Pang Shi with an uncontrollable expression on his face ran over to Bin Cong Meng and hugged her tightly into his arms.
"Sorry, I'm late." He said it over and over again, "Can we reconcile?"
Bin Cong Meng was still angry, but when she saw Pang Shi's tired and excited look, she could not utter out those angry words. She stroked Pang Shi's back and promised him over and over again.
After the excitement was over, Pang Shi remembered the ring in his pocket.
He took in a deep breath, let go of Bin Cong Meng in his arms, and knelt on one knee in front of her, "Meng Meng, I am not a very talkative and romantic man. Being with you is the best thing that has ever happened to me, so would you like to be with me for the rest of your life, Meng Meng, will you marry me?"
The watching crowd started to chant "marry him" all around in cheering tone, the crowd then broke into a loud cheering applause when Bin Cong Meng nodded tearfully.
When Sheng Xing Ze and Yu Bai arrived, they saw two people hugging and kissing, the scene was very sweet.
Looking at the pair of lovers, Sheng Xing Ze smiled happily. He poked Yu Bai and gestured him, "Let's go."
"You envy them." Yu Bai said surely as he walked back with him.
Sheng Xing Ze looked back at Pang Shi and Bin Cong Meng, who had disappeared from the field of vision, "Who doesn't envy such a vigorous proposal?"
"You will have one." Yu Bai told him.
Sheng Xing Ze looked at him and shook his head, "I wish."
I wish that the person I like also likes me.
