Chapter 2048 Marriage Proposal (Part 3)

That night, Ruan Qi and Bai Li talked for a long time.

The next day was a rest day, and Ruan Qi slept in until after nine o'clock in the morning.

After getting up, she first had breakfast at her home, and then walked to the north of the courtyard and opened the small door connected to Xi Jiu's house.

Xi Jiu's courtyard was very quiet, with only the birds in the trees calling from time to time.

When they were dating last night, Xi Jiu had said that there was a video conference to be held this morning. Calculating the time, he should be in the study now.

Ruan Qi did not disturb Xi Jiu's work. She pushed the door and walked into the house. She first helped Xi Jiu water the flowers and plants in the garden, and then returned to the living room and skillfully took out the snacks stored under the coffee table.

Xi Jiu did not care about his appetite and rarely ate food other than three meals a day. But since being with Ruan Qi, Xi Jiu would prepare plenty of snacks, whether in the Xi family's old house or here, and it has been like this for more than five years.

Ruan Qi also developed the habit of rummaging through the snack cabinet when she came here under such pampering and indulgence. For example, today, she skillfully picked a bag of potato chips from the drawer, and took out a box of yogurt and a small cake from the small refrigerator next to it.

After all the delicious food was ready, she turned on the TV and ate while watching variety shows.

Xi Jiu in the study was still conscientiously attending a meeting, while Ruan Qi outside the study was already lying on the sofa and was very free.

She watched TV for a while, and after eating a bag of potato chips, she was ready to throw the packaging bag into the trash can.

But just as she stood up, her left hand on the sofa suddenly touched a hard object.

Ruan Qi looked down subconsciously.

There was a mobile phone sandwiched in the gap between the two sofa cushions.

Ruan Qi looked at the phone and blinked.

This phone... is it Jiujiu's?

But she had seen both of Jiujiu's phones, and they were not this model.

With full of curiosity, Ruan Qi hesitated for a moment, but finally reached out and took the phone out from the crack of the sofa.

She looked down at it.

This phone is very new, there is no film on the screen, but there is no scratch at all. It looks like it should have been bought not long ago.

And who does it belong to... Ruan Qi turned on the screen, and the familiar face on the lock screen wallpaper caught her eye.

Very good, the case is solved.

This phone belongs to Xi Jiu.

Because the wallpaper of the phone is her photo.

Since it is certain that the phone belongs to Xi Jiu, Ruan Qi no longer hesitates and starts trying to unlock the password.

She first entered her birthday according to the passwords of Xi Jiu's other two phones.

Then--

Unlocking successfully.

Ruan Qi: "..."

Her Jiujiu is really not innovative at all.

Ruan Qi sighed and flipped through the phone in a Buddhist way.

WeChat, text messages, calls... all clean, she didn't have the slightest desire to check her boyfriend's phone.

Ruan Qi felt more and more bored the more she looked. She yawned and prepared to turn off her phone, but when she was about to press the lock screen button, she accidentally touched the browser on the screen.

The browser opened instantly.

A push topic popped up in the homepage search box very intelligently - what preparations are needed for marriage.

Ruan Qi: ? ? ?

Generally speaking, the topics automatically pushed in the browser search box are recommended based on the user's daily search preferences.

In other words, Xi Jiu has searched for issues related to marriage.

Thinking of this possibility, Ruan Qi immediately opened the browser history.

The WeChat text messages and call records of Xi Jiu's new phone are empty, but the history of this browser is -

a long and dense string.

The most recent search history was an hour ago.

The search topic is -

[Is it too early for a 24-year-old girl to get married? ]

Ruan Qi: ...

She was silent for a while, continued to read, and then saw -

[How to propose marriage to my girlfriend in a tactful way? ]

[I want to get married, but my girlfriend is too young? ]

[If I don't get married, how can I make my girlfriend, who is six years younger than me, never change her mind? ]

[Will getting married at the age of 24 affect a girl's life? ]

[Will having a baby at the age of 24 have any impact on her body? ]

[What names are good for children? ]

[Postpartum care encyclopedia]

Ruan Qi: ...

Countless search records, the most recent one was an hour ago, and the earliest one was... Forget it, I can't find the earliest one at all, because there are too many.

And so many browsing histories are all related to marriage.

Ruan Qi looked at these records, and at the same time, she was moved and distressed.

It turned out that Xi Jiu had been looking forward to getting married in the past few years. But because she was young, he kept struggling with himself, worried that entering into marriage too early would affect her.

This fool... always put her first.

Ruan Qi felt sour and swollen in his heart, but he felt as sweet as eating candy.

At this time, there was a movement from the study. Xi Jiu should have finished the meeting.

Ruan Qi immediately exited the browser, restored the phone to its original state, locked the screen and put it back in the crack of the sofa.

After the meeting, Xi Jiu walked out of the study. Hearing the noise in the living room, he subconsciously raised his head and saw Ruan Qi sitting on the sofa.

His eyes lit up first, then he suddenly remembered something and looked nervously at the gap in the sofa where the phone was hidden.

In the crack of the sofa, the phone that Ruan Qi had stuffed back was intact. Seeing that Ruan Qi had not discovered his secret, Xi Jiu breathed a sigh of relief in his heart without making a sound.

"Why did the baby wake up so early?"

He strode over, sat down next to Ruan Qi, and hugged her.

Ruan Qi, who was still moved, raised her head and kissed him on the face: "It's not early. I woke up after nine o'clock and came here after dinner. Jiujiu, have you had breakfast?"

"I had a simple breakfast." Xi Jiu replied, rubbing his eyebrows with a little tiredness.

Seeing this, Ruan Qi asked with concern: "Are you tired from the meeting? Do you want to sleep for a while?"

Xi Jiu was very happy with the girl's concern.

He shook his head and said gently: "Not tired. It's just that there are a lot of things to say in the meeting. I've been looking at the computer for too long, and my eyes are a little tired. I'll just close my eyes and relax for a while."

Ruan Qi immediately adjusted her sitting posture and patted her thigh with her little hand.

"Jiujiu, lie on my lap, I'll massage your eyes."

Xi Jiu didn't refuse, lying on his back on Ruan Qi's lap and closing his eyes.

Ruan Qi stretched out her hand and gently but forcefully massaged around his eyes.

While massaging, she chatted with Xi Jiu: "Is there a lot of work in the company recently? It's not too busy this month, just after the Chinese New Year."

"Not very busy indeed." Xi Jiu closed his eyes and whispered to Ruan Qi, "But I want to take half a month off, so I moved all the work forward. The meeting just now was to arrange this."

Ruan Qi frowned in confusion when she heard this: "Why do you suddenly want to take a half-month break? Is there something to do?"

"No."

Xi Jiu said, suddenly opened his eyes and glanced at her, "April is here, I want to spend a good time with you."

The meaning of Xi Jiu's words was very obscure.

But how could Ruan Qi not understand.

April 7th was Xi Jiu's birthday, and he deliberately finished his work ahead of time, wanting to take half a month off to celebrate her birthday with her.

Ruan Qi understood.

But she didn't respond to Xi Jiu, instead she pretended to be deaf and dumb and said, "It's good to take a break. You've been too busy these years, you really should take a break."

Ruan Qi looked innocent.

Xi Jiu choked and reminded her again tactfully, "Not only do I want to take a break, I also want to go out and play with you. After all, April is very special."

Ruan Qi heard this, and with her acting skills of the Little Golden Man actress, she nodded very stubbornly, "Yes. April is getting warmer, and it's really a good time to go out and play. Jiujiu, where do you want to go? Domestic or international? Just the two of us, or with family and friends?"

Ruan Qi enthusiastically began to recommend the major popular tourist attractions in April.

Xi Jiu: "..."

Xi Jiu suddenly felt a headache.

In previous years, Ruan Qi was always the one who cared the most about his birthday.

But what happened this year?

Why didn't his baby remember that he was going to have a birthday?

Is it because she was too busy with work recently and forgot?

Or did she catch a cold a while ago and take too much medicine for a bad memory, so she didn't remember this?

Xi Jiu found eight hundred reasons for Ruan Qi, and then tried to comfort himself in his heart: It's okay, just forget it. There is still a week before the birthday, and the baby will definitely remember it.

With such humble and love-brained expectations, Xi Jiu reminded Ruan Qi every day in the next week that he was going to celebrate his birthday.

For example, yesterday, he suddenly bought a big cake and took it home after get off work at night without celebrating the New Year or the festival.

For example, today, the Ruan family finally finished eating such a big cake, and Xi Jiu bought three boxes of peaches.

Because the refrigerator could not hold it, in order to avoid the peaches from being left outside for too long and going bad, Nie Heng showed off six in a row that night.

At the end of the meal, he hiccuped and cried to Ruan Qi: "Senior sister, why don't you tell your brother-in-law about the birthday plan directly. Otherwise, if we continue to eat like this, our whole family will have to go to the hospital."

Ruan Qi was also eating peaches.

Hearing what Nie Heng said, she shook her head: "No. This is a birthday surprise, no one of you is allowed to tell. If you really can't eat it, make peach jam. When you go to the Daxian store tomorrow, bring a bag to share with the employees."

Nie Heng nodded with tears in his eyes, and once again took up a peach with humiliation.

The peaches Xi Jiu bought tasted good and looked good. But until Nie Heng finished the seventh one, he didn't understand why Xi Jiu bought peaches.

"I understand buying a cake, brother-in-law is reminding you that he is going to have a birthday. But why buy peaches? Did brother-in-law scold you for wanting to eat peaches because you didn't remember his birthday?"

Ruan Qi:...

Ruan Qi threw a pillow over in anger.

"What are you thinking about? How could Jiujiu scold me?"

Nie Heng quickly caught the pillow and asked her: "Then why did he buy peaches?"

Ruan Qi: "Of course it's because of the birthday peaches. Many elderly people buy birthday peaches for their birthdays. Jiujiu hopes that I can think of birthday peaches when I see peaches, and then think of birthdays from birthday peaches."

Nie Heng suddenly realized.

"Oh~~ So that's it! But why did he buy three boxes? Since he wants to remind you through peaches, he can just buy some. Buying so many at once, is he trying to stuff us to death so that he can marry you?"

Ruan Qi couldn't bear it anymore and threw another pillow at him.

"What are you talking about your brother-in-law? Jiujiu bought three boxes to remind me that this is his 30th birthday! And he also wants to 'stuff you to death'. What's the point of stuffing you to death? Feeding you to pigs? Pigs won't eat it!"

Nie Heng: Nonsense! Pigs love it!

Pig: ? ? ?

Ask for leave. I have to go to the hospital for a follow-up check tomorrow. There are many items that need to be checked. I may be back very late and may not be able to update.
