The Beauty's Comeback! What my Wife Says Goes 172 Chapter 171- Hidden in the Stars

One of the staff members approached the two of them and informed them that they are the first customers to enter today so they were chosen to play on the new virtual game. Shi Xue excitedly held her mother's arm, "Let's play!! Let's go!!"

Qian Ling smiled, "You go first. Mom will see you play and then follow."

"Nn nn okay okay!" she nodded and quickly followed the staff.

The staff handed her a pair of virtual reality glasses and instructed her to stand in the center of the room facing towards the entrance. "The virtual reality glasses will show you different images and you will choose the ones that are most relatable to you. There will be a digital screen in front of you that will function in accords to your choices. When you reach the end of the game, your prize will come out of the digital screen."

Shi Xue nodded excitedly.

First, a picture of Lilies and another picture of Sweet Alyssums were shown.

Shi Xue chose Sweet Alyssums. A fresh fragrance of Sweet Alyssums filled the entire room after she chose it. She was quite surprised by how efficient this game was to be able to control the scent of the room in accords to the customers' choice.

Then, a picture of a ballroom and another picture of a garden with swings in the background were shown.

Without thinking, Shi Xue chose the garden picture. She smiled as it looked almost exactly like the one at home. After she chose that picture, a row of flower aisle was formed leading from where she was standing to the entrance. Because she was wearing the virtual glasses, she only heard the sounds of something moving, but didn't catch the row that was just produced in front of her.

The pictures became more vivid and personal. This time, there were 12 pictures of the different zodiac signs shown. Without hesitation, Shi Xue chose the Cancer sign since her birthday was July 16th. After she chose that sign, the picture zoomed in and the words, "Take your prize" showed up on the screen. The center of the screen opened up and a small box was inside of it. She took out the box and opened it to find her father and mother's wedding ring.

She gasped in surprise and took off the virtual glasses. While she was checking the ring in her hand, the screen in front of her had been moved by the staff. When she looked up again to look for her mom, she saw a familiar figure standing at the end of the row of flowers... "Zhi Hei..? t..this.." she looked at the ring in her palms feeling surprised. He walked over and held her hands in his.

"I remember the night we first met, how beautiful you were under the starry night. Your eyes sparkled like the stars in a galaxy. It was the most beautiful thing I've ever seen and something I could not have because you belonged to someone else at that time. When we met again years later, we've spent countless nights under the night sky enjoying the twinkling stars. These times were different because you were mine wholeheartedly. When I looked into your eyes and saw the reflection of the stars, I saw our future. I clearly understand what I've been feeling and wanting for the longest time since I was born. i want to grow old together with you, until our hairs turn gray and white. I want to hug you in my embrace as we enjoy the happiness and contentment we could bring to each other. Right now, under the stars once again, I want to ask you, Shi Xue, Will you marry me?"

A star field appeared across the room and the words, "Will you marry me" was traced out in stars. On the floor, a star traced heart centered the couple and Zhi Hei took the ring from Shi Xue's hands. Shooting stars appeared every 30 seconds in the background. He kneeled down and looked into her eyes, "Shi Xue, I am not used to making romantic dates, but for you I've stirred my brain juice for the past months trying to set everything right. Actually, I planned for this day since the first day I reunited with you on my cruise. I may be a smart person when it comes to business, but when it comes to you, my mind never functions properly. My heart would beat uncontrollably for every movement you make and my lips would curve up naturally. Seeing you when I come home and hearing you say the words, 'Welcome home' would make my heart feel contentment. Your My words are never enough to describe how much you really mean to me. Every single thing that led us here today made me sure that you are my soul-mate. I had a speech ready for this moment, but right now, the pre-written words are thrown out the window. I clearly know what I want to do, say and have. I can't imagine my future without having you to come home to, and spend the rest of my life with.

Shi Xue's eyes swelled up and turned red as tears dripped down her face. She covered her mouth using one hand from the surprised proposal and continued looking at Zhi Hei's eyes.

"This is the ring that your late father had given to your mother. It's not that I was too lazy to look for the perfect ring for you, but I wish to use one that is meaningful. The love between your father and mother is so deep and touching that I wish us 100 times more happiness to come. With this ring, I want to pass on our stories to the many generations to come. I want to pass on this happiness and love for an eternity. Would you give me this chance to become a part of your lifetime's story for our future great great great great grandchildren?

She wanted to speak, but a heavy lump from her throat stopped her "Yes!" response. She sniffled as she nodded her head and held out her right hand. He smiled enchantedly and slipped the ring onto her finger.

"Woooo!!!!! congratulations to you love birds!!!" a crowd cheered as they entered the room. It was the Huang couple, Hui Yan, Shen Qi, Chen Mu and Su Su. All of them were clapping and laughing for the sweet engaged couple. The females were mainly the emotional ones whose eyes swelled up after seeing and hearing such an emotional speech.

"Kiss her! Kiss her! Kiss her! Woooo" The guys cheered as they teased Zhi Hei. After their kiss, Shi Xue gave everyone a hug, especially her mother. She knew how much this ring meant to her mother, but she was willing to pass it on to her. "Thank you so much mom. I will cherish this ring until I die."

Qian Ling wiped Shi Xue's tears, "Silly girl! Don't talk about death when it's such a happy event! mother is very happy to be able to be a part of this. I believe Zhi Hei will definitely bring you the greatest happiness in your future. You need to learn to become a good wife. hehehe of course and give me a lot of little buns too!"

"I'll try my best." she hugged her mom tightly once again before greeting Su Su.

Su Su was in a wheelchair so Shi Xue leaned down and gave her a light hug.

"Thank you for coming. This is the first time we are meeting, I'm Shi Xue."

"I'm Su Su, Chen Mu's girlfriend. Congratulations on your engagement. Zhi Hei is a great man hehe you don't know how many times he asked Chen Mu and Shen Qi to change the plan. At the end, I helped the guys a bit hehe."

"I believe he is the best for me too. How is your recovery right now?"

"Mmm! Going extremely well. I can start walking soon."

"Then.. when the wedding comes, would you be my one of my bridesmaid?"

"Huh..? You want me to be your bridesmaid?"

"Because Chen Mu is definitely one of the grooms mate. If that's the case, you should be paired with your soul mate" she winked at Su Su making her blush.

Chen Mu saw Su su's flushed face and ran to her side. He put his hands on her forehead and took her temperature.

"What's wrong? Are you feeling sick anywhere? pain?"

"Pffft hahahahahaha!!" both Shi Xue and Su Su bursted out laughing seeing his anxious face.

"Stop laughing! I'm serious here! Any discomfort?"

"I'm fine. I'm fine. Shi Xue teased me a little and I blushed." Chen mu sighed in relief and coughed twice before walking back to the guys.

"He really loves you." Shi Xue whispered.

"I know. I love him too lots." she giggled.

"Any plans for the future yet?"

"Mmm... maybe after I recover."

"Then, you better be ready by the time of my wedding." Shi Xue gave her a mischievous smile before walking to Hui Yan, who was sitting on the chair right by Shen Qi.
