On September 19th, Yao Sheng and Shen Jiani got married. The wedding was held by the sea. It was happy and romantic...
On September 28th, Chu Wei married Ling Tianxue. The wedding was held under a Ferris wheel in the amusement park. It was happy and romantic...
On October 10th, Fang Ruichen and Luo Xixi got married. The wedding was held in the Hously Hotel. It was happy and romantic...
At this time, Ouyang Ziqian couldn’t wait anymore. After witnessing the happiness one after another, he didn’t want to get married at the end of the year. In addition, he didn’t want to get engaged before marriage, because it would be troublesome. He planned to get married directly.
However, even though Dou Ya and Ouyang Ziqian knew that they would get married at the end of the year, he hadn’t made a formal proposal for marriage. It was unfair to Dou Ya.
Without making Dou Ya know it, Ouyang Ziqian met Ling Tianyi and Xia Xiaoluo secretly, telling them about his thoughts.
“Cousin, I support you! Now that there won’t be the engagement, your proposal for marriage must be romantic and grand!” Xia Xiaoluo said.
“That’s what I mean. However, I need your help.” Ouyang Ziqian said.
“You are my cousin and Dou Ya is my best friend, so your business is my business. I will always help you.” Xia Xiaoluo agreed at once.
Ling Tianyi also said with a smile, “Your business is Xiaoluo’s business. Xiaoluo’s business is my business. So I will always help you.”
After Ling Tianyi finished, the three people all burst into laughter.
“When you got married, you held your weddings on a cruise ship, by the sea, under a Ferris wheel or in a hotel. You have used all kinds of designs, so I don’t know how to hold my wedding! I don’t want to use one of those designs again and I want to try something new. But I can’t come up with any new idea. What’s more, I don’t want to return to Y Country to make a proposal for marriage or get married. I like A City because my friends are all here.” Ouyang Ziqian said.
“Yes! It’s a difficult problem!” Xia Xiaoluo supported her head with hands.
Ling Tianyi asked with a smile, “Are you and Dou Ya afraid of height?”
“What do you mean?” Ouyang Ziqian was stunned, but he answered before Ling Tianyi replied to him, “No. We have tried the Bungee jumping together and Dou Ya was very happy. As for me, I’m not afraid of height at all. I often do sky diving.”
“I’ve got an idea. Make a proposal for marriage in the sky!” Xia Xiaoluo was enlightened suddenly. Ling Tianxue proposed to hold her wedding in a balloon, but she gave it up because Chu Wei was afraid of height. But it was indeed a good idea.
“Right! My wife is so clever!” Ling Tianyi touched Xia Xiaoluo’s head, “You can make a proposal in the sky. In a balloon or during your sky diving! As for your wedding, we can think it over. By the way, my brother-in-law, when will you get married? In order to design your wedding, we need to make sure of the details according to the time.”
“Today is October 15th. We can’t prepare for the wedding in a hurry, because a poor wedding will be unfair to Dou Ya. I want to get it ready in one month. I think we can make it, because the power and ability of the Ouyang family is strong enough. How about holding the wedding on November 19th? The homophonic sound of the date is ‘yao-yao-yao-jiu’ which means ‘being together forever’.” Ouyang Ziqian said.
“Yao-yao-yao-jiu, cousin, it seems that you are a stammer.” Xia Xiaoluo joked.
“That’s what I want.” Ouyang Ziqian said with a smile, “I will make the proposal on October 19th. The homophonic sound of the date is ‘yao-ni-yao-jiu’ which means ‘wanting you and being together forever’. It’s also nice!”
“Yes! It’s a good idea. Nice! It’s a deal. Let’s make the preparations for the proposal and the wedding at the same time from now on.” Ling Tianyi made the decision.
“Xiaoluo, I know that you have much work to do in your restaurants, and you have to look after Taotao at weekends. But I have to ask you to help me with one thing!” Ouyang Ziqian said.
“Why are you so polite to me? Cousin, just tell me if you need my help. Like what I said just now, your business is also my business.” Xia Xiaoluo said generously.
“Can you accompany me to buy a wedding ring this afternoon? I have sent a ring to Dou Ya before, but it isn’t for the proposal. I want to buy her a new formal one. I’m afraid that I can’t make a good choice, so I hope that you can give me some advice. You and Dou Ya have been friends since childhood, so you must know what she likes.” Ouyang Ziqian said.
“OK. But you have to pay for the lunch.” Xia Xiaoluo said with a smile and she played a joke on Ouyang Ziqian.
“Sure! Order what you want to eat. It’s my treat. Just enjoy yourselves.” Ouyang Ziqian called the waiter at once and let Xia Xiaoluo continue to order the dishes. Xia Xiaoluo was not courteous at all, so she ordered the braised prawns.
In the afternoon, Ling Tianyi went back to his company to do his work. Xia Xiaoluo and Ouyang Ziqian went to a jewelry store.
“Although Dou Ya seems outgoing, she is gentle and sensitive in her heart. She likes delicate things instead of luxurious ones. Therefore, in order to buy her a ring, you don’t need to spend much money. But we need to beat our brains out.” Xia Xiaoluo said to Ouyang Ziqian while looking at various rings.
“Hi, Ziqian, I meet you again. Long time no see.”
Xiao Man was holding a good-looking man, and she still looked arrogant.
“Hi, Xiao Man! Long time no see.” Ouyang Ziqian said.
“Hello, Xiao Man Senior!” Xia Xiaoluo said with a smile.
“Xiaoluo, you and Ling Tianyi got married a few days ago, and the wedding was grand and luxurious. Why didn’t you invite me? We were in the same dancing club before, but you didn’t regard me as your friend!” Xiao Man ridiculed.
“We haven’t contacted with each other for many years, so I didn’t know where you were.” Xia Xiaoluo felt awkward and she tried to explain it. But her excuse was not so suitable.
“What happened? You just got married, but you are selecting the ring with Ziqian. You are not reliable.” Xiao Man said with a smile.
“No, Xiao Man Senior, you misunderstood us. He is my cousin now. I’m helping my cousin to select a ring for his fiancee. He is going to make a proposal for marriage.” Xia Xiaoluo explained hurriedly.
“Ziqian, you’ve found your lover? She is not Xia Xiaoluo? Xia Xiaoluo is your cousin now?” Xiao Man was surprised.
Ouyang Ziqian told Xiao Man what happened briefly. During the conversation, Xiao Man kept listening to it carefully, and she was surprised all the time.
“Congratulations!” Xiao Man said this word after a long time.
“What about you? Look at the man beside you. Are you going to get married soon?” Ouyang Ziqian asked.
“Yes. I’m going to get married soon as well. This is Xu Zhe, the successor of the Xu’s Group. We come here to buy a pair of rings.” Xiao Man said with a smile. So many years had passed, Xiao Man had given up waiting for Ouyang Ziqian. She chose Xu Zhe who kept going after her. Xu Zhe was also ambitious and diligent.
“Hi, welcome to attend our wedding on the Christmas Day.” Xu Zhe shook hands with Ouyang Ziqian and Xia Xiaoluo in a gentle way.
“OK. We will attend the wedding. On October 19th, I will make the proposal for marriage in the sky. My wedding is on 19th next month. I will send you invitations later.” Ouyang Ziqian said.
“Ziqian, I will attend your wedding!” Xiao Man said, “There is a pair of diamond rings and the theme is ‘romance above the clouds’. It is suitable for your proposal, so you can have a look at it!”
“Really? Nice!” Ouyang Ziqian’s eyes began to shine. Although he didn’t see the rings, the theme was suitable for his proposal plan.
“We are going to hold our wedding by the seaside, so we bought the pair of rings whose theme is ‘romance in the deep sea’! Jewelries in this store are nice. What I recommend is always delicate!” Xiao Man said.
Xiao Man and Ouyang Ziqian exchanged their phone numbers and addresses in order to send invitations. Then they walked separately.
Ouyang Ziqian pulled Xia Xiaoluo to see the ‘romance above the clouds’ at once, “I want it!”
Ouyang Ziqian pointed at the rings which looked like the clouds with a heart-shaped diamond, “Dou Ya will like it!”
Later, the waiter introduced the connotation of the design, the inspiration and other information about the rings, which were close to Ouyang Ziqian’s idea, and Xia Xiaoluo also thought that they were perfect rings.
After they bought the rings, Ouyang Ziqian said on the way back, “Don’t tell Dou Ya about it. I want to give her a surprise.”
“OK. I won’t tell her! It must be a surprise!” Xia Xiaoluo said with a smile.
Ling Tianyi and Ouyang Ziqian thought that a balloon wasn’t cool enough. An airplane was nicer.
Ling Tianyi arranged four private airplanes to come here. Ouyang Ziqian arranged another three airplanes from Y Country, and he rented two luxurious planes. Nine airplanes were enough for the scale, and it was enough for all the friends who were going to witness their love.
Ling Tianyi was responsible for supervising. Xia Xiaoluo and Ouyang Ziqian were busy decorating the airplanes. Every airplane was covered with the rose pedals and pink heart-shaped balloons.
The largest airplane was the one Ouyang Ziqian and Dou Ya would take. Ouyang Ziqian planned to make the proposal and wear the ring for Dou Ya at the moment when they did sky diving at the beginning. But he was afraid that he would lose his favorite ring because of shivering. Therefore, he decided to make the proposal on the airplane. After Dou Ya agreed, they would do sky diving together and kiss each other in the air.
Everything went well. On October 19th, as usual, Ouyang Ziqian had lunch with Dou Ya. He ordered the food that was suitable for sky diving.
“Today, our boss is generous. All the employees can have a rest this afternoon. Ziqian, are you free? Let’s go to have fun. How do you like it?” Dou Ya said this when they were having lunch.
“OK! Now that my goddess is free, I’m free as well! I will arrange what to do this afternoon. Just follow me, okay?” Ouyang Ziqian said with a smile. He was delighted because he had never thought that Ling Tianyi would be so generous. In order to make it convenient for him to make the proposal, Ling Tianyi gave all the employees a holiday. He did too much for him.
Dou Ya always obeyed Ouyang Ziqian’s words. She always agreed with Ouyang Ziqian, so she didn’t ask him what they would do. After lunch, she followed Ouyang Ziqian to the private airport.
“Do you like sky diving?” Ouyang Ziqian pointed at the airplane and asked.
“It’s so exciting. I like it very much!” Dou Ya kissed Ouyang Ziqian’s cheek, and then she became extremely happy.
“That’s good!” Ouyang Ziqian felt satisfied and said. Then he took Dou Ya to get on the airplane.
“Wow!” Dou Ya and Ouyang Ziqian got on the airplane. At the first sight, Dou Ya noticed the rose pedals and the heart-shaped balloons in the cabin.
“Welcome our new couple!”
“Congratulations!”
Xia Xiaoluo and Ling Tianxue released the colorful bars which fell on the heads of Ouyang Ziqian and Dou Ya later.
“What are you doing?” Dou Ya was very happy.
Ouyang Ziqian said with a smile, “It’s a romance!”
In front of so many friends, Ouyang Ziqian kissed Dou Ya’s cheek. He shouted before Dou Ya made any reactions, “Let’s take off! Everybody, sit down!”
After the airplane was in the sky and arrived at the planned height, Ouyang Ziqian untied his safety belt. And then, he knelt on one knee on the floor and held the ring with two hands, “Dou Ya, it’s the romance above the clouds. At the height of 10 thousand feet, I will make a formal proposal for marriage to you. Will you marry me?”
Without any mental preparation, Dou Ya was totally stunned, and she didn’t know what to do at all.
“Say yes, say yes...”
Other people were all shouting and clapping...
“Dou Ya, are you stunned now?” Xia Xiaoluo pushed Dou Ya. Dou Ya finally regained her consciousness.
Dou Ya untied her safety belt and stood in front of Ouyang Ziqian hurriedly. She said with the smile and tears, “Yes. Yes. Ziqian, I love you. Yes...”
“Yeah...” All the people started to exclaim out of joy.
Ouyang Ziqian wore the ring for Dou Ya and Dou Ya helped him to stand up.
“Kiss, kiss...” They began to chant.
Ouyang Ziqian kissed Dou Ya deeply at once, and then he said to other people, “Later, we will have a romantic kiss above the clouds. If you want to see it, do the sky diving with us!”
