Chapter 396: The Most Hyped-Up Wedding Proposal (Part 1)
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
When she told Li Yun about what happened when they were shopping, Li Yun gave her a thumbs-up and praised her deepening ability to piss a person off to the point of vomiting blood. As Ye Zhenhua remained hospitalized because of his illness, Yang Yun had the gall to assume great airs in the hospital not too long ago. Now that Yang Yun was hospitalized, rivals were surely fated to meet.
When Cheng Anya heard that, she smiled it off. Li Yun did not ask about what had happened in the past month. People with some connections knew that the Dragon Gate was caught in the crossfire with the Mafia and the First Terrorist Organization. Of special mention was Third Young Master Ye ordering the bombing of the Mafia’s headquarters in anger as it had spread far and wide long ago. People were guessing that Third Young Master Ye went to arms for the want of a woman.
As to who was the woman in question, outsiders, let alone Li Yun, knew who she was. Li Yun knew that whatever had happened to Anya was definitely not something good, and she did not ask further since everything else had passed.
With peace and calm in City A, the tumultuous days were finally over. Cheng Anya was panicking from missing her child, and Cheng Anya did not conceal the fact from Li Yun that Ning Ning was rumored to be in Rome and in training instead of studying. Li Yun did not ask any more questions.
The two of them spent a morning shopping at a mall and then had lunch at a Chinese restaurant in the afternoon. Black Eagle, who followed them from a distance, did not disturb them.
“When would Third Young Master Ye and you be having your wedding?” Li Yun asked with interest. “It’s already autumn. If you do not fix a wedding date soon, won’t it be unlikely to hold the wedding within the year once you two get busy?”
Cheng Anya gently smiled and said, “We should be able to hold the wedding next month.”
“Won’t it be a bit too rushed?”
“It seems like you still don’t quite understand Third Young Master Ye. When Third Young Master Ye hustles, he is able to get everything settled in a day and then have me forced into the wedding hall. Holding the wedding next month is a conservative estimate, and things could be faster. He has already ordered a wedding gown from Diana that should be completed, if expedited, by the end of the month. That explains why I’m guessing if the wedding can be held next month.” Cheng Anya smiled. Although the wedding date had yet to be finalized, preparations for the wedding were already underway.
As he was hell-bent on having the grandest wedding possible, everything that went into it had to be top-class. The wedding gown alone was designed by a top wedding designer, was fully hand-made, and exorbitantly priced.
Li Yun teased her and said, “You have really thick skin to have Diana design your wedding gown. He sure treats you like a pearl in his palm. He is definitely a good man. This explains that even bad boys can turn for the better.”
Cheng Anya fell silent. Miss, did you mean that Third Young Master Ye was very bad? As she recalled his exploits, Cheng Anya fell silent. Oh, well, he was indeed a very bad boy. Since things had long passed, she was magnanimous enough not to bring them up.
“If you do not make me your bridesmaid, I will duke it out with you.” Li Yun raised her fist with a menacing look. The two of them made a pact when they were in high school, that the other person would be the bridesmaid for whoever got married first.
They had never forgotten this pact.
“It’s Liu Xiaotian and you, right? That said, do bring Gu Zhensheng along as the best man,” Cheng Anya smiled and said. Liu Xiaotian and Director Li would make a pretty good couple.
“Deal. I’ll tell him once I return home.” Li Yun had no second opinion.
“Oh, yes, how did he propose to you?” Li Yun curiously asked Cheng Anya. Given her understanding of Cheng Anya, Cheng Anya was somewhat duplicitous whilst Third Young Master Ye was a perfectionist. Third Young Master Ye’s proposal had better be outstanding enough, and she wanted to learn a trick or two so that she could, in the future, make life difficult for a certain Mister Gu.
Cheng Anya saw Li Yun and knew what was on her mind. She gently laughed and said, “He has yet to propose.”
Li Yun was aghast and immediately said, “Cheng Anya, you are not standing up for yourself! How could you marry him when he did not even propose to you? Aren’t you devaluing yourself?”
“…Doesn’t he have to make up for that?”
“Oh, please, I wonder how you could get the order wrong. Shouldn’t you confirm the details of the wedding after the wedding proposal? The two of you are really special enough for him to not propose to you and you still marrying him despite that. It’s utterly impossible.” Li Yun teased her and said, “Congratulations on being the woman who marries a man who does not propose to her.”
Cheng Anya gently smiled and said, “The both of us have always gotten our orders wrong. We had a child before knowing each other and falling in love. Chaotic, no? Proposing is merely a formality, and I am looking forward to his wholly different wedding proposal since he said he will give me one. I’m giving him time to come up with that wholly different proposal.”
“Fresh flowers, roses, candlelight dinners—they are too cliché and overused,” Li Yun said as she counted with her fingers and laughed. “But you will never know. Come proposal time, the more cliché a proposal is, the more effective it is. Women should shy away from what is cliché. A few men I knew two years ago cracked their heads when they were about to propose. Their wives would nitpick on everything they proposed and they came to ask me for help. I simply told them to use whatever is cliché. The more roses they gave, the more quickly their intended agreed. That sealed the deal, and the proposal was completed in a night.”
Li Yun described it in an especially funny manner, and Cheng Anya could not help but laugh. The whole idea to crack one’s head on a wedding proposal would never beat learning a move or two from one of Chiung Yao’s TV dramas. While said moves were a little cliché, Auntie Chiung Yao never failed to deliver buckets of extremely cliché yet touching scenes.
“Third Young Master Ye would definitely sniff at them. God knows what’s going on in his head. And I am wondering about this wedding proposal. As long as he does not attempt something frightening or twisted, I am content. I am not expecting too much for the other things,” Cheng Anya said with slight trepidation. Since no normal person could see through Third Young Master Ye’s thoughts, it would definitely be twisted and all was well as long as it was not frightening.
“Let me know once he has proposed.”
“Deal.”
The two women shopped for the whole afternoon after lunch. Pitiful Black Eagle, who was following at the back, felt a rising grudge. Why were women so excited when it came to shopping?
He secretly swore that he would exchange duties with Number Six the next time around. What they were doing was even more exhausting than killing a hundred people.
When he returned, he told Number Six what happened. Number Six laughed and said that those who were capable would get more responsibilities. Black Eagle, in anger, almost wanted to tear him a new one.
Cheng Anya bought several seasonal clothes, some skincare products, and cosmetics. These were items she had to buy when she went out with Li Yun, and she was tempted to buy them even as others fluffed her about these products.
As it was already past six in the evening when she reached home, Third Young Master Ye had had dinner outside. Since Ning Ning was not around, he had the kitchen to himself and was brewing soup for Cheng Anya. Cheng Anya was pregnant, and she had to have something nutritious food. Su Man had him gather seven to eight different herbs to be brewed for her after some time or as part of her food. Third Young Master Ye took the advice seriously.
When it came to keeping the child, he was even more eager than Cheng Anya.
“You didn’t buy anything for me?” Third Young Master Ye was extremely displeased when he did not see anything for him. This was plain unfair as she went out the whole day and did not buy a single thing for him.
“The xylitol is common property, so you can take that as something I’m getting for you.”
Third Young Master Ye was stunned into silence.
After he helped her tidy up her items, Third Young Master Ye said, “Anya, go easy on the shopping the next time. Even if you are not tired after a day of shopping, the child will be tired.”
Cheng Anya was slightly stunned and suddenly said, “If it weren’t for your reminder, I would have forgotten that I am pregnant.”
Third Young Master Ye was once again speechless toward her. She was less than a month into her pregnancy, so Cheng Anya was certainly telling the truth. She simply did not feel anything or tired. She was used to shopping for a whole day with Li Yun.
Her legs were extremely hardy and did not feel fatigued.
“You, damn lass.” Ye Chen stared at her and walked into the kitchen to bring her some soup. “Here, drink this.”
Cheng Anya took the soup and innocently asked, “Where’s your wedding proposal?”
“I’m not telling you.” Third Young Master Ye harrumphed and rolled her eyes at her. What was the rush? He had to propose to her either way.
“Caught you right there. You’ve not thought of it, right?” Cheng Anya smiled. She did not want to demoralize him and was about to suggest that he watch Auntie Chiung Yao’s romantic dramas and learn a move or two from there. She instead said, “You’d better come up with something novel that will become the next trending wedding proposal.”
“…Drink your soup, damn it.”
Later that day, Black Eagle told Cheng Anya that Yang Yun had a heart attack but was out of danger. She heaved a sigh of relief, whereas Third Young Master Ye had no visible reaction.
He no longer hated Ye Zhenhua and Yang Yun, but he treated them no differently from some random passersby and was emotionless at their plight.
Cheng Anya was at ease.
As days uneventfully passed and culminated in a week, Third Young Master Ye made detailed marriage arrangements. He, however, did not propose and Cheng Anya was wondering if Third Young Master Ye was going to renege on his word by skipping the proposal and directly marrying her.
As she thought of this possibility, Cheng Anya broke into exceptionally twisted laughter. With the date of the marriage confirmed, the tenth of October, it had a meaningful ring to it that sounded of perfection. Third Young Master Ye loved the date, and so did Cheng Anya.
The only elephant in the room was whether Third Young Master Ye would propose at the wedding.
At a press conference held by An Ning International, Third Young Master Ye personally announced his wedding to Cheng Anya on the tenth of the next month. Congratulations swept across the air in an instant, and Cheng Anya was even surprised that Commander Zhang personally called to bless Third Young Master Ye and her marriage. As they had only met once, Cheng Anya was extremely touched and she guessed that Commander Zhang knew about her plight when he investigated what happened to Zhang Bo.
Third Young Master Ye single-handedly saw to wedding matters, so Cheng Anya had nothing much to do. The two of them chose a good day to take their wedding photos. Cheng Anya asked once again, “Where’s the wedding proposal?”
Third Young Master Ye ignored Miss Cheng. The latter was sad and angry.
Once the wedding was confirmed, news came from Ye Wei and the young kid. Both were planning to make a return at the end of the month or early October as Ye Wei and Eleven were having fun with an old man in the African Savannah and the young kid had quite some trouble establishing contact with them.
Once they heard ‘wedding’, they immediately made plans to return.
Today, when Cheng Anya went downstairs to deliver documents, she encountered Manager Zhang from the media department. The handsome Manager Zhang noticed her, and the corners of his lips could not help but quiver. Cheng Anya was a little curious. She asked, “Manager Zhang, what are you laughing about?”
The lift reached the floor with a ‘ding’, and Manager Zhang slithered out of the lift as quickly as he could.
Cheng Anya, “…”
Cheng Anya went upstairs after delivering the documents only to find that Third Young Master Ye had yet to return from his morning meeting. Cheng Anya was deep in thought. Did she look like a joke? Did she have a venomous heart? Why did the three to four people that she met run away? This was baffling.
Ever since Miss Cheng was appointed Third Young Master Ye’s principal secretary, she was in a very prestigious position. Following her roasting of Louis in the cafeteria, she gained a cult following in An Ning International. When others later learned that Third Young Master Ye changed MBS International into An Ning International because of her, they had an admiration and respect for her. All of An Ning International’s employees had an idea.
While they still had a backstop if they pissed Third Young Master Ye off, pissing Miss Cheng off would be fatal.
As this was the first time Cheng Anya encountered such preferential treatment, Cheng Anya was extremely stifled. Liu Xiaotian saw her quietly sit down for a moment and did not do anything. She could not help but curiously ask her what was happening.
Miss Cheng described what happened from start to end, and Liu Xiaotian smiled. “There is nothing weird about this, and for all you know, they are sympathizing with you and staying away from you as you are about to marry President Ye.”
“…That is too much of a stretch,” Miss Cheng said.
She just felt extremely weird but did not treat it as an issue.
Guan Rutong laughed and said, “When they are in awe of you, just keep your distance and you will be fine. Since everybody takes a detour whenever they see President Ye, consider it like husband like wife. Haha.”
An unwholesome image of people avoiding them flashed through Cheng Anya’s mind. She shuddered and then dispelled the idea.
Liu Xiaotian delivered a report over and said, “Stop thinking about it. I’ll need you to tidy up this report as you are the best at it. If it helps, I have tidied up half of it.”
“You sure know how to cut corners.” Cheng Anya was slightly stunned. Whenever the four of them encountered problems, she would be dumped with the problem. Damn it.
“Those who are capable get more responsibilities.”
…
The day passed uneventfully. When Third Young Master Ye brought Cheng Anya out for lunch in the afternoon, they were open about it as their relationship had been long exposed and Third Young Master Ye was more than willing to go around with her. As she was pregnant, she could not eat at the staff canteen. Without Ning Ning at home and how he had very late nights, nobody would prepare breakfast and he would be out meeting clients in the afternoon since they returned. As he was often discussing business with Fourth Young Master Tang and First Young Master Lin, they rarely went out for lunch. As the child grew up, Su Man reminded them to heed caution and prepared some nutritional menus that Third Young Master Ye had people to follow to the T so that Miss Cheng could have them once he brought her over.
Cheng Anya was astonished at the table which was full of food.
“Am I a pig to you?” Not even ten people could finish that, no?
“Choose what you like and ignore what you don’t,” Third Young Master Ye said. He stopped sitting opposite her and sat next to her as though he was rich and arrogant.
Cheng Anya’s lips twitched. She was extremely curious about something and asked, “I confiscated the rights to your finances, so how do you still have so much money?”
Third Young Master Ye curled his lips into a somewhat cunning smile. He said, “I forgot to tell you that I invested in this restaurant out of boredom.”
Miss Cheng was stunned into silence.
‘Are you sure you forgot that?’
After a sumptuous breakfast, Third Young Master Ye was extremely curious. Wouldn’t a pregnant person be bloated? How could his dear Anya seem thinner and thinner? Cheng Anya smiled. She was never fat even when she carried Ning Ning.
During desserts after lunch, Cheng Anya mentioned how people reacted. Third Young Master Ye coldly laughed and said, “Do you think that they will still dare to pounce on you when they see that you are my woman?”
Cheng Anya, “…”
He was definitely screwing about with her, and she would be magnanimous enough not to care about it. She always felt that something was going on, but she could not guess it and did not want to waste her effort to do so. Since it was nothing terrible, chances were they had that reaction after reading one too many tabloids about the two of them.
After lunch, they encountered the Director of Hua Yun. He was a forty-year-old man who was slightly short yet stout and seemed smart although the suit seemed a tad comical on him. When he saw Third Young Master Ye and Cheng Anya, he firstly congratulated them and then exchanged pleasantries as they shook hands. Cheng Anya did not know him well, so she only nodded in acknowledgment and spoke little.
The restaurant was not far from An Ning International. She and Third Young Master Ye walked over and happened to bump into him on the way back. Third Young Master Ye was not keen on exchanging pleasantries with him and did not have the mind to as said director was exceptionally chatty. If one wanted to have lunch, he would insist on coming along to taste the signature dishes of the restaurant. Third Young Master Ye casually replied that he brought Cheng Anya out to talk about work.
The director smiled and praised Third Young Master Ye for being hardworking, personally involving himself in business discussions although he was about to get married. Cheng Anya covered her mouth and smiled. Did that have anything to do with being hardworking? Whether he was married or not, he still had to involve himself in business discussions. Shouldn’t that be his job?
Third Young Master Ye’s thoughts were away and he led Cheng Anya with him as he bade farewell and left. Cheng Anya laughed along the way and Third Young Master Ye only reacted after some distance. “Did he just praise me that way? If I clean my toilet bowl personally, surely I have to personally involve myself in business discussions, no?”
Miss Cheng broke out into laughter. ‘Good gracious, your analogy really suits it very well.’
“This director must be getting all guilty when he saw you. All that blabbering and flattery is simply futile.” Cheng Anya smiled. She sure left a deep impression on that person.
“As is the case for the nouveau riche.”
“I want to be a nouveau riche too! That feeling… of having so much more money overnight would be good!” Cheng Anya was unbelievably envious at how artistic the term sounded. Although people often talked trash about the nouveau riche, they, deep in their hearts, secretly wished they were one themselves.
“Even if you are a nouveau riche, my money does not count to it. If you fall back on your son’s riches, are you still thinking of going from rags to riches? Third Young Master Ye looked at her with slanted eyes as Cheng Anya laughed. They chatted and laughed as they returned to the company.
As Third Young Master Ye took into consideration her pregnancy, her workload was reduced. Even Liu Xiaotian knew her limits and Cheng Anya did not have much work to do and lounged about the whole afternoon. The two of them went home together after work.
“Let’s go to the supermarket to buy ingredients. We are making dinner ourselves tonight.” Third Young Master Ye laughed as he brought Cheng Anya to the supermarket to buy food.
As he was good with few dishes, notwithstanding the fact Cheng Anya liked to eat Chinese food, the dishes felt a tad boring. Ning Ning had taught him how to prepare steak, and he learned to prepare steak extremely well and would prepare it for her.
“Steak it is then.” Cheng Anya was nice enough not to make things difficult for him. The two of them chose some ingredients and then some vegetables. Since Cheng Anya recently had hunger pangs at night, Third Young Master Ye also bought some milk suitable for pregnant ladies and some noodles so that she would not go hungry at night. They also bought a huge bag of mandarin oranges before heading home.
While Third Young Master Ye was a speeder, he became much more careful ever since he had a passenger riding shotgun with him and obeyed traffic rules to the T. She recalled how Third Young Master Ye used to beat traffic lights like no tomorrow and how the traffic police in City A had a massive headache. Now, he was an extremely obedient driver.
When they returned to the mansion, Third Young Master Ye had Black Eagle and company do whatever they had to as they did not need to stand guard tonight.
Although Black Eagle and Number Six were not at ease, they were eventually dissuaded by him to leave. Cheng Anya smiled. They really ought to get a rest. With Louis not in City A for now, Black Eagle and Number Six might have seemed to be excessively cautious.
“Why don’t we have dinner outside tonight?”
“I need to keep my skills warm lest they grow cold. I have yet to prepare steak ever since I returned.” Third Young Master Ye laughed as he carried the ingredients into the kitchen. The two of them changed into their home clothes before coming down.
Third Young Master Ye had long and evilly forced Cheng Anya to move into the master bedroom.
Third Young Master Ye’s reasoning was straightforward. He was of good health and of good character. He had no intention to sleep separately with his wife for now. Hence, he forced Miss Cheng to sleep on the bed in the master bedroom. This was despite her not understanding how sleeping separately had anything to do with his character.
As he got busy in the kitchen, Miss Cheng got down to washing and cutting the vegetables and pounding the garlic—things she could still do. This was the first time the two of them got busy in the kitchen, and it felt extremely different.
After she had cut the carrots, she leaned against the bar table and propped her head up, looking at Third Young Master Ye prepare dinner. Once he had returned home, his unkempt hair was tidied up and his sleeves were rolled up. He seemed younger by several years.
She never closely observed how Third Young Master Ye was like when he was cooking, and she only realized that he was not just handsome, but his perfect side profile, delicate jaw, and gently moving hands made him seem extremely… sexy.
She felt her heart race out of control when Third Young Master Ye’s lips curled into a smile without looking at her. He teasingly said, “I know that I am extremely handsome, but I should say that I am pleased that you are still mesmerized by me despite looking at me all this time.”
Cheng Anya gently smiled. What a narcissist he was! But to be fair to him, he had the bragging rights to it.
Third Young Master Ye was instead thinking of who said that he was not as good-looking as he was on the posts in the gossip forum. The tables had turned.
Cheng Anya circled her hands around his waist and tightly pressed herself against his back. Third Young Master Ye was svelte and his wide back made leaning against it extremely comfortable and warm. She felt peaceful leaning against it.
She was somewhat enthralled by his scent and gently sighed. She had her expressive moments too.
Third Young Master Ye, being in an extremely good mood, gently curled his lips.
After hugging him for a moment, she gently smiled cunningly and ran her hands across his chest. As she slowly caressed his chest, Third Young Master Ye stiffened and looked down at his chest, seeing that her delicate and slender fingers were starting lustful fires like the devil. His thin T-shirt seemed to offer no material between her hands and his chest, and she suddenly pinched his chest gently. Third Young Master Ye’s breathing became heavier.
This damn lass was nothing short of a temptress.
Cheng Anya gently laughed, and she quietly kept it to herself as she did not see him react. She was extremely happy, and she slowly moved her hands down to pull out his T-shirt and put her hands around his belt… Third Young Master Ye’s gaze went dark and realized what she was up to. As he came to life, his warm blood rushed downward and he gripped the pot and scraper even more tightly. The beast in him was almost unleashed.
Although he was in agony, he enjoyed the process as much. This was no typical torture and he wanted to tell her to stop. A voice in him, however, screamed, “Go on, go on…”
Cheng Anya gently landed a kiss on his back. Third Young Master Ye’s body stiffened from the teasing in front and behind him.
She released the buckle with a ‘ting’, and Third Young Master Ye felt as though he reached a threshold in his heart. A searing passion coursed through him and a thin sheen of sweat appeared on his face.
His eyes were a dark red and burned with a very bright fire.
Cheng Anya pulled the zipper down and felt downward. Her slightly nervous hand caressed his fiery manhood. While she was as red as the morning sun, she could not believe that she would be so bold to pull this off. But she just pulled that off.
As she had no techniques whatsoever, her caresses were suddenly light and suddenly heavy and never seemed to hit home. Third Young Master Ye was breathing extremely hard, and a fire burned even more brightly in his eyes as the sheen of sweat on his forehead thickened.
It was comfortable… yet torturing.
It was almost a month since she became pregnant. He usually hugged her to sleep every night yet behaved himself. If he was lusting after her, they would only go up to third base at most and not go the whole nine yards even if their passions for each other were indeed that intense. Su Man said that the child was unstable, so they had to abstain from intense lovemaking in the first month.
If they could still pull that off, what else was ‘not intense’ then? As he was not in control then, Third Young Master Ye always refrained from touching her. Ever since he encountered Cheng Anya, he became better at leading a life of abstinence.
How could he, at this very moment, withstand her teasing? He was on the verge of erupting and would have come had he been unable to hold it in.
As the sensations from her hand became more obvious, she was somehow able to feel his manhood throb and gradually erect. She was no longer able to keep it in her hands and was about to tell him that she was about to call it a day. Whenever he was needy in the past month, she would give him a handjob. If she stopped at this moment, he would definitely eat her out.
As she nonsensically stroked him, Third Young Master Ye gave a low roar and turned off the stove. He immediately turned around and pinned her onto the fridge with a terrifyingly bestial look. He leaned forward and kissed her lips hard and intensely as though it was the tastiest desert he could have.
He was undoubtedly extremely aroused.
Cheng Anya was forced to look up to receive Third Young Master Ye’s kisses. Third Young Master Ye’s rough and warm breath filled her nostrils. Cheng Anya responded to his kisses, and her eyes became blurry. Their passion, like volcanoes meeting thunder, could no longer be restrained.
Third Young Master Ye ripped off her shirt in immense passion. Cheng Anya gasped in shock. Before she could react, he hugged her onto the bar table and threw her ripped-off shirt at her feet. Third Young Master Ye ripped off her bra barbarically and leaned forward to suck and nibble on a nipple as his other hand gently kneaded the other nipple. Cheng Anya was caught off guard by the throes of his reckless lust.
The cold bar table and the warmth at her chest made for fire and water. She could not help but moan and hug his head helplessly. While it seemed she wanted to push him away, she also seemed to want to hug his head closer.
She sat straight and allowed him to pleasure her.
The aroma of the steak, complemented with the scent of pepper, added to the immense passion in the air and superheated it.
Third Young Master Ye reached under her skirt and directly went for the center of her legs. He pulled down her panties, and Cheng Anya panicked as she felt a foreign object enter her body that kneaded and stroked it sometimes quickly and sometimes slowly.
As her moans became louder, she began to sweetly call out his name.
“Ah Chen…”
His mouth gently sucked on and nibbled at her chest whilst his slender fingers stroked her insides little by little. He clearly intended to get her off. As pleasure built up in her, she felt herself at a tipping point and could not help but scream his name subconsciously, waves of desire overwhelming her.
It was after very much longer, amidst the afterglow, that Third Young Master Ye pulled out his fingers and hugged her tightly. They did not have a home run because her body was unwell. It was a no-go however much he wanted it.
There was no harm making up for it in the future.
Third Young Master Ye was not a person of lust. He merely fulfilled his desire when he used to have countless women. He, however, had an immense desire for Cheng Anya’s body. The slightest kisses and caresses would lead to an explosive outpouring of passion. While his immense desire for her made him helpless, it still excited him nevertheless.
However intense the passion and the collapse of reasoning, he would always pull back at the brink and not hurt her. Even if he wanted it that much, he would only do it after the child was more stable.
He extremely treasured her.
“You… Do you want me to help you?” Cheng Anya sounded slightly higher-pitched and was exceptionally attractive after the throes of passion. Third Young Master Ye, who was almost overwhelmed with passion, wished he could bite her shoulder.
“Go change your clothes.” Third Young Master Ye sounded extremely hoarse. Cheng Anya did not dare to play with fire anymore and scooted out of the kitchen after she haphazardly picked up her clothes. Third Young Master Ye frowned and said, “Walk slower.”
As Cheng Anya went upstairs to change her clothes, she saw the bruises on her collarbone and blushed. She had brought this upon herself. Miss Cheng hit her small head and wondered how mad she must have been to seduce him. She must have been tired of living.
Her face was extremely reddened. Cheng Anya slapped her own face and calmed her heartbeat. She desired a second helping, and boy was she extremely greedy.
Looking at how savage he was, the shirt was definitely unusable. She imagined how intense somebody could be when it came to some issues. Cheng Anya quickly shook her head and changed into casual wear before going downstairs.
Third Young Master Ye had also come out of the shower with a change of clothes and had the kitchen tidied up. He was amazed at how he was even able to prepare the steak under such conditions.
His forbearance was extraordinary.
When Cheng Anya wanted to enter the kitchen, Third Young Master Ye ordered her to stop. He said, “Damn it. Stay away from me. If you don’t, I’ll eat you out instead of having dinner.”
Miss Cheng was stunned into silence.
He got busy for a moment later and dinner was finally prepared. As their throes of passion pushed back dinner by quite a bit, they were thankfully not particularly hungry. Third Young Master Ye served steak, vegetables, and soup.
While he wanted to open a bottle of red wine, he gave up the idea as he recalled that Cheng Anya was unable to drink wine. He ought to get a booklet on dietary options for pregnant women.
He prepared the steak as per how Ning Ning taught him. The steak tasted good and was like how Ning Ning would have prepared it. Cheng Anya felt that the steak was extremely tasty, and Third Young Master Ye looked at her, who was still flushed. He seemingly broke into a smile and said, “If you dare to start a fire again, you will be wholly responsible for it.”
The moment he finished saying, he picked his lips and stared at her lips with an envious and hungry look. Cheng Anya was stunned and became sad and angry. She looked down and quietly had her dinner with tears filling her face.
Third Young Master Ye was in an extremely good mood.
Cheng Anya prepared two cups of tea after dinner. She had the habit of turning on the computer after dinner, but she was forced to stop this habit after she became pregnant. Since she liked sleeping, she also slept extremely early.
Third Young Master Ye, out of his regular habit, had her watch television with him in the living room.
The television in their home used to be for decoration’s sake. Cheng Anya was extremely baffled at this change. As Ning Ning was a computer nut, he would use the computer instead of the television for his games. There was a huge screen in the games room that made for very comfortable gaming.
On the other hand, Third Young Master Ye was extremely busy from dawn to dusk and did not have the habit of watching the television. Since Cheng Anya would use the computer instead of the television, the television in the home was rarely on. To watch the television tonight left her extremely baffled.
“What are you doing?” Cheng Anya asked perplexedly.
“Watch an animation with me.” Third Young Master Ye gently laughed and snugly hugged Cheng Anya in his embrace so that she would not anyhow move about.
The world felt extremely detached.
Third Young Master Ye, who did not even know Crayon Shin-chan, actually said ‘watch an animation with me’. This was so stunning and so out-of-the-world that she could not make sense of it.
Cheng Anya raised her hands in a baffled manner and touched his forehead. No, he was not having a fever.
“What’s that expression on your face?” Third Young Master Ye was extremely displeased.
“Ah Chen, are you running a fever? What kind of animation are you watching? I don’t think you even know what animation is,” Cheng Anya honestly replied. Third Young Master Ye’s lips twitched and he kissed her hard.
“Shut up!”
Cheng Anya was at a loss for a moment. Very well then, an animation it is then. Taking into account his desire that could not be satiated today, she empathized with him and yielded. Since she had nothing on, it just felt weird at most.
After she watched it for a moment, Cheng Anya raised her hand and timidly asked, “Ah Chen, this is MBS International TV station.”
“I know,” Third Young Master Ye calmly answered. If Cheng Anya was meticulous enough, she would have discovered that Third Young Master Ye’s ear root was slightly reddened. He was trying his damn best to keep calm.
Her doubts instead grew. She raised her hand and said, “I’m sure you’ve not forgotten that MBS International TV station is our own TV station, no?”
“What’s with all that blabbering?” Third Young Master Ye coldly stared at her as though he was covering up for something.
Cheng Anya wanted to swing a punch over. ‘You are the damn CEO of An Ning International and do not know what your own TV station is broadcasting at this moment. Animation my ass!’
Cheng Anya gently smiled and said, “President Ye, I, as your principal secretary, ought to remind you that it’s now the prime time slot and MBS International would be playing the prime time program ‘Toward Happiness’.”
MBS International’s ‘Toward Happiness’ was a prime time program that had an extremely high viewership, hovering around 46% and peaking at 60%. What was once MBS International’s most popular program is now An Ning International’s most popular program.
Apart from said program, GK Channel also had another prime time program during prime time. Cheng Anya looked on at Third Young Master Ye as it was impossible for Third Young Master Ye to not know about the program. What kind of animation was there at this hour?
“Change the channel then.” She laughed as she suggested.
Third Young Master Ye ignored her and shushed her, hugging her and continuing watching the television.
Cheng Anya felt unbelievably stifled and eventually felt that Third Young Master Ye only watched anything that had a human voice and she yielded. When it came to the ‘Toward Happiness’ program…
Cheng Anya was depressed.
Ahh…
Third Young Master Ye was slightly flushing, so he calmly looked away.
The hosts were the same two hosts. Today’s ‘Toward Happiness’, however, was slightly different. It was, as Third Young Master Ye said, an animation.
There were many characters in the animation, and the main leads were a man, a woman, and a child. The images of the characters were based on people and were extremely realistic. Cheng Anya looked on and seemed to see Third Young Master Ye, herself, and Ning Ning come alive on the screen.
Save the slightly stocky emotions, the characters were clearly them.
Miss Cheng, once again, felt as though she was out of the world.
What the heck is going on?
She grabbed Third Young Master Ye by the collar and asked, “What exactly is going on?”
Third Young Master Ye calmly pulled her hand away and said, “Continue watching.”
As Cheng Anya watched on, she was not the least shocked. This was an animation that documented how they fell in love with each other. To move the plot, the animation started with them in love with each other and separating, only to return seven years later as Ning Ning betrayed her into entering MBS International. All the little happenings ever since she knew Third Young Master Ye were reenacted on the screen.
The dialogue in the animation all came from the conversations they had, and even that blond Louis was as realistically portrayed as possible. He adopted a more colloquial approach to the animation, and he even included how he conned Gu Xiaochen and hawkers, as well as how they leaped from the plane into the sea and the romance they had whilst in the sea into it. He even included how they stared death in the face.
This was a touching and tear-jerking romantic drama that had its highs and lows.
There were many humorous moments in it that made hearts that welled break into laughter. As Cheng Anya saw it, she felt touched and her heart felt as if it had been through once too many.
While the ‘Toward Happiness’ program was forty-five minutes long, the animation was an hour long instead.
Most of the characters were named after actual persons, and even Ning Ning’s badassery was truncated. The portion of the terrorists’ was also added in post-production. Save Louis, everybody at the back were represented by friends and saved the imagination of the crowd. On first look, they seemed to fall in love but encountered setbacks and faced them together.
The dubbing was also specially flavored and their voices were extremely close to Third Young Master Ye’s and Anya’s voices.
At the very end of the documentary, the following scene appeared—there were tens of millions of roses outside their mansion and it was gorgeously beautiful. Third Young Master Ye, who stood amongst the bed of roses, gently smiled and was gentlemanly like the man from the moon.
“Cheng Anya, this is the first time I am doing something so embarrassing, so get into my mind period. Now that you want a wholly different wedding proposal, I am giving you a wholly different wedding proposal. This is our romantic journey over the seven years, and there have been laughter and tears, sweet moments and sad moments. Now that the sun has emerged after the rain clouds, all that awaits is our happy ending.”
“Ever since I have you, I received my salvation. You are the salvation of my life and all the warmth of my life. I sincerely hope that in the days to come, we will be able to live together and have you for company when I am down and tired, and share my happiness with you. A man must at least give his beloved woman a rose so that he could touch her. The red rose represents love, and I will be able to give you all the roses in my lifetime if I give you a rose a day. You can pay for them in installments, and I hope that what I have done will be enough to touch you and for you to wear the wedding gown for me.”
“You once said that you will marry a person who proposes to you with 9999 roses, right? This is the second time I am giving you 9999 roses. Miss Cheng Anya, please marry me!”
