[✓]Their Substitute Marriage

69-70

Chapter 69: Being Secretly Photographed
At this moment, Chen Jiazhi suddenly knelt down on one knee and opened the small box. Inside was a diamond ring the size of a pigeon egg.

“Qingqing, are you willing to marry me and become my wife? From the bits and pieces of time I spent with you, I have fallen deeply in love with you. I swear that I will treat you seriously for the rest of my life. You will be the only one in my heart. From now on, you will be the Young Lady of our Chen Family, and I will definitely take care of you.” Chen Jiazhi said with embarrassment, he had rehearsed this sentence many times.

Originally, according to his personality, he was ashamed to say these words, but he wanted to give Bei Qingqing a sense of ritual that a girl should have. So, even if he was shy, he still wanted Bei Qingqing to hear these words.

Bei Qingqing was very surprised. She did not expect Chen Jiazhi to propose today. She also did not expect him to buy such a big ring.

Bei Qingqing was so surprised that she could not say anything. She was stunned for a long time before she slowly asked, “When did you buy this ring? How come I don’t know about it?”

Although Chen Jiazhi felt that her reaction was a little strange, he still said honestly, “I’ve already ordered it in advance. It’s only been two days since it was sent over.”

Bei Qingqing nodded. She felt that Chen Jiazhi’s words were definitely true. After all, she had only seen such a big diamond ring on television before. It definitely had to be custom-made.

“This diamond is so big. Won’t it look very conspicuous if I wear it? Isn’t it heavy?” Bei Qingqing asked doubtfully.

Chen Jiazhi thought for a moment and said, “It should be fine. If you usually think it’s too heavy, I’ll buy you a smaller one.”

Bei Qingqing continued, “Then can I return this ring? Isn’t it more convenient for us to buy a small ring? It seems that diamond rings don’t keep their value, right?”

“It can’t be returned. This is a custom-made design. How can it be returned?”

Chen Jiazhi could not help but frown when he heard Bei Qingqing’s questions getting more and more ridiculous.

“Huh? That’s such a waste. Such a big diamond ring only acts as a decoration. We are a new family, and in the future, we still have to uphold the concept of frugality and thrift,” Bei Qingqing sighed.

After all, she would not wear this diamond in the future because it was too ostentatious and did not suit her personality.

“No, I’m proposing now. Now is not the time to talk about these things. Just answer me whether you agree or not.” Chen Jiazhi did not know whether to laugh or cry.

No matter how he looked at it, other women on the internet were very touched when they were proposed to, but his wife actually asked so many strange questions!

Bei Qingqing was also very speechless. She had clearly been married for so long, so why did he suddenly want to propose again.

Thus, she said in a flirtatious manner, “Haven’t I already married you? Why do you still have to ask?”

Chen Jiazhi felt like he was going to die of anger from Bei Qingqing. He had secretly prepared for so long behind her back and even rehearsed for so long to confess and propose. In the end, she was actually so casual about it.

The more Chen Jiazhi thought about it, the angrier he got, mixed with some grievance. He stood up in an instant.

He hugged Bei Qingqing’s waist and kissed her in an instant, taking the opportunity to put the proposal ring on her hand.

Bei Qingqing did not react for a moment and was a little flustered.

Suddenly, a flash of light appeared in Bei Qingqing’s eyes. It turned out that there were still reporters squatting in the building next door.

Chapter 70: She Took the Initiative to Kiss Chen Jiazhi
Chen Jiazhi did not expect the dedication of these reporters.

This sudden flash made Chen Jiazhi very dissatisfied. Not only was he dissatisfied that the reporter had interrupted his intimate moment with Bei Qingqing, but he was also dissatisfied that these lights had flashed into Bei Qingqing’s eyes.

Therefore, Chen Jiazhi took off his suit jacket and covered Bei Qingqing’s face.

Bei Qingqing did not react. She also did not expect that the reporters would see her kissing Chen Jiazhi and take photos of her.

She would be so shy if this got out.

However, Chen Jiazhi covered her face and put his arms around her waist as he said in a low voice, “Let your hubby show you the ‘princess hug’.”

Then, he held Bei Qingqing in his arms and planned to carry her away like a princess. However, as he had just woken up, he was still in the rehabilitation stage, and he had been socializing for a long time today. Therefore, his strength was very limited.

After getting down to carry Bei Qingqing, he realized that he could not pick her up at all, and his face instantly turned dark.

Bei Qingqing was still in a daze at first. She felt Chen Jiazhi holding her with all his strength. Only then did she finally come to her senses.

For a moment, Bei Qingqing could not help but laugh out loud. She did not expect such an embarrassing thing to happen to Chen Jiazhi.

However, she could understand. After all, Chen Jiazhi’s health was not very good right now. It was not a shameful thing to not be able to carry her.

Seeing Bei Qingqing laugh out loud, Chen Jiazhi looked at her helplessly. He pinched her butt in dissatisfaction and asked with a dark face, “Are you looking for trouble?”

Bei Qingqing looked at his dark expression and raised her head. She deliberately said, “Yes, what are you going to do?”

When Bei Qingqing raised her head, her body lines became even more beautiful.

Chen Jiazhi looked at her in admiration and sighed, “This gown really shows off your figure.”

Looking at Chen Jiazhi’s eyes, Bei Qingqing suddenly thought of that afternoon when Chen Jiazhi said that he would pay for her clothes later. She actually had some bold ideas in her mind.

Therefore, she took the initiative to put her arm around Chen Jiazhi’s neck and said in a sweet voice, “Really? I’m so tired. I want to go back. How about... We go back?”

After saying that, she locked her gaze with him. Chen Jiazhi could not help but swallow his saliva. This ambiguous action and words made him dizzy.

He felt as if his entire body was floating in the air. He took the opportunity to hug Bei Qingqing. He gently approached her and asked, “What are we doing after we get back?”

Bei Qingqing did not know if it was because she had drunk alcohol, but when she saw Chen Jiazhi like this, she felt very hot. It was as if a ball of fire was surging out of her.

She did not say anything. Instead, she stood on her tiptoes and gently leaned over to kiss Chen Jiazhi’s lips.

Sometimes, words could not express one-thousandth of the feelings in one’s heart. Only actions could answer for her. This kiss had already answered everything that Chen Jiazhi wanted to know.

The moment Chen Jiazhi was kissed by Bei Qingqing, he was stunned for a moment. His brain buzzed. He looked at the woman in front of him who gently closed her eyes, and he knew that she was asking for something in return. Chen Jiazhi felt that he could not stand it anymore. He could not restrain himself any longer.
