Chapter 254 - 96: Gorgeous Couple’s Proposal (3)

Shen Yanzhi ended up buying one for each of them. He then bought a cup of instant noodles for Jiang Li, had the shop owner prepare it, and carried the noodles as they headed toward the God of Wealth Hall.

There really was only a single God of Wealth Hall. It was just across the street from the small shop, up a flight of 108 steps.

The incense was burning strong, and the hall was packed with worshippers. It was completely shoulder-to-shoulder, a scene as chaotic as the holiday travel rush.

Perhaps recognizing Jiang Li and Shen Yanzhi as the main characters of the recent proposal, the crowd parted to let them through.

Shen Yanzhi walked to the top of the steps, bowed to the crowd, and said, "Thank you."

Then he and Jiang Li entered the God of Wealth Hall, lit their incense, and prayed to the God of Wealth, all in one smooth motion.

As they were leaving, Shen Yanzhi emptied his wallet into the donation box.

Jiang Li, on the other hand, made a donation by scanning a QR code.

By the time they finished praying to the God of Wealth, the instant noodles were ready.

So Jiang Li stood to the side, eating while she waited. After finishing, she couldn’t help but sigh. "Life really is getting better. Even eating instant noodles feels like a luxury now."

Shen Yanzhi pulled out a napkin and handed it to her. "You say that as if I ever stop you from eating what you want."

Jiang Li pouted. "You don’t have to talk. No one would think you’re mute."

She wiped her mouth and threw the napkin into a trash can.

As she raised her hand, she happened to see the ring on her finger.

Jiang Li wiggled her fingers and looked up at Shen Yanzhi. "So, are you planning to put a ring on all ten of my fingers?"

Two from the wedding, one from when he confessed his feelings, and another from the proposal just now.

’Anyone who didn’t know better would think he was a ring wholesaler.’

’Although, to be fair, she was the one who bought the rings for their first wedding.’

Shen Yanzhi’s lips curved into a slight smile. "If that’s what you want, I can make it happen."

Hearing this, Jiang Li’s mouth twitched. She crossed her arms. "That won’t be necessary."

She had no interest in wearing ten rings.

Just as she said that, her phone started ringing.

One look at the caller ID made her heart skip a beat. She swallowed hard and answered in a syrupy sweet voice, "Hey, Qingbao."

Zhong Mufeng’s tone was a little sour. "Oh, so you still remember who I am!"

Before Jiang Li could ask what was wrong, she snorted, "Your Shen proposed to you! It’s huge news, and you didn’t even tell me beforehand! I had to find out from the trending topics!"

Jiang Li blinked blankly. "Trending topics? What trending topics?"

When Shen Yanzhi had proposed, she was so caught up in the moment that she hadn’t paid attention to anyone else. Naturally, she had no idea someone had recorded it and posted it to TikTok.

Zhong Mufeng said irritably, "The TikTok trending list. Someone filmed you guys."

"But from the background, it doesn’t look like you’re in the Capital City?"

Jiang Li touched her nose awkwardly and cleared her throat twice. "We had a whim last night to see fireworks, so I brought Shen, his younger brother, and sister-in-law to Yundu."

Zhong Mufeng’s voice cracked. "Holy crap! You didn’t even invite me!"

Jiang Li apologized with utmost sincerity. "Sweetie, I’m sorry, I was wrong!"

She really had forgotten.

Otherwise, she would have invited Zhong Mufeng to come along last night.

After all, Zhong Mufeng was single and free to go wherever she pleased without having to report to anyone.

Although Zhong Mufeng was a little angry, she could understand.

’After all, this is Jiang Li’s first year married into the Shen Family. It was a family activity, so what business would she have had tagging along?’

"When are you coming back?"

Jiang Li scratched her head. "If all goes as planned, probably today."

After all, there were four elders at home. And during the New Year, they couldn’t just let them play mahjong by themselves the whole time.

Zhong Mufeng clicked her tongue. "Fine. Contact me when you get back, then."

Jiang Li couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief. She quickly said, "Sweetie, Happy New Year!"

"Happy New Year!"

After hanging up, Jiang Li immediately transferred one million to Zhong Mufeng’s Alipay account.

She didn’t transfer more mainly because she was afraid Zhong Mufeng wouldn’t accept it.

After ending the call, she saw that Zhou Jiawen and the others were still in line, so she decided to open TikTok and check out the trending topic Zhong Mufeng had mentioned.

Number one on the entertainment chart: "Gorgeous Couple’s Proposal."

She had to admit, whoever came up with the title had a point. Gorgeous couple.

The video was a little over thirty seconds long. It showed the part where Shen Yanzhi confessed his love, and it was set to the song "Say I Love You," which gave it a very emotional feel.

It was captivating, making you want to watch it over and over again.

After she had watched it several times, even Shen Yanzhi couldn’t resist leaning over. "What are you watching?"

Jiang Li handed him the phone. "Here."

Shen Yanzhi watched it and immediately said, "Wife, forward the video to me."

The tips of Jiang Li’s ears turned slightly red. She’d noticed that ever since he’d confessed his feelings, "Wife" was always on the tip of his tongue. It was as if he was trying to make up for all the times he hadn’t called her that before.
