Chapter 54 Extra 1: Resentful Husband Boss Cheng
Every time Jian Ling recalled Cheng Zhixu proposing in front of the entire Ye family, she smiled with happiness, wishing she could roll around on the bed. After that day, Jian Ling suddenly asked Cheng Zhixu, "Why did you pull this trick without telling me in advance? Didn't you consider what you would do if I didn't say yes?"

Cheng Zhixu thought about it carefully and replied, "I've thought about it. If you don't want to marry me, I'll find a way out and say I forgot to prepare roses. I'll ask you next time."

"Oh, that's right!" Jian Ling glared. Only after he reminded her did she realize what she had overlooked. "Kneeling on one knee, roses, and a ring—these three things are essential for a proposal. You didn't give me roses!"

Cheng Zhixu was stunned. He hadn't realized he had dug a hole for himself. Fortunately, she had already promised him, and a promise couldn't be broken. He touched her face with a smile and promised solemnly: "Be good, I'll make it up to you later. I promise to be sincere."

Jian Ling forgot what she said and didn't take it to heart. So much so that when she returned to the apartment the day before the end of the holiday, she was stunned by the house full of gorgeous red roses. Even the stairs leading to the second floor were covered with roses, and the rich fragrance filled the air.

She was in a sea of flowers, motionless for a long time, like a statue.

So this is what Cheng Zhixu meant by "full of sincerity", and he really does keep his word.

After the shock, Jian Ling felt indescribable emotion and satisfaction in her heart. She raised her mobile phone to take photos from several angles and shared them on her Moments.

Zhou Xingyan: "Mr. Cheng is such a wonderful man! I envy him."

Gu Meng: "Is this the proposal scene? Is this the proposal scene? I really want to watch!"

Lin Botong: "My roommate, when are you getting married? I miss you guys so much. It's up to you to get 504 together again! By the way, when you were pursuing Mr. Cheng, we gave you a lot of advice. You should probably ask us to be your bridesmaids!"

Ye Xianxin: "Xiao Cheng is thoughtful."

Jian Zumao: "With so many flowers, won't you get pollen poisoning?"

Ye Xianxin replied to Jian Zumao: "Do you understand romance? If not, don't talk."

Ye Guizhou: "Haha."

Shu Yangyang: "So beautiful, Lingling, I wish you happiness."

Shu Yangyang replied to Ye Guizhou: "Stop being so sarcastic and go wash the dishes."

After her annual leave, Jian Ling officially returned to work at the company, just like any other employee. She was exactly the same as before, nothing had changed. She didn't know if Cheng Zhixu had specifically instructed her to do this, or if Director Yuan Xiao was just being fair and just, so she didn't treat anyone differently. She still had plenty of tasks assigned to her.

Right from the start, there were two projects waiting for her to come up with solutions, and she was so busy that she was dizzy.

Jian Ling propped her head up with one hand, staring at the computer screen, waiting for someone to send her some information. As she stared, her mind wandered, and she thought back to when Cheng Zhixu proposed to her on one knee. She'd cried her eyes out. Eyewitness Shu Yangyang later said she'd never seen her cry so hard before, her makeup smudged.

When she thought of the roses that filled the room and had not withered yet, she couldn't help laughing. The more she laughed, the more her heart moved and her mind wandered further and further.

As a result, he was caught red-handed by Dai Wangchu.

"My friend, please stop smiling. Your saliva is flowing out of your mouth." Dai Wangchu's voice interrupted Jian Ling's endless extension of beautiful memories.

Jian Ling smacked her lips unconsciously, restraining the smile on her lips, and wiped the corner of her mouth with her hand to prevent her saliva from really flowing out.

"Where is the saliva?" She looked at Dai Wangchu angrily, sitting upright, her fingers tapping on the keyboard.

Lin Xiaoran passed by Jian Ling, her eyes suddenly caught by something. She stopped and looked at Jian Ling's fingers tapping on the keyboard. She made a hissing sound and forgot that she was going to the tea room to make coffee. She leaned over to Jian Ling's side and said in surprise, "Jian Ling, the boss proposed to you!"

Her eyes were dazzled by the diamond ring on Jian Ling's finger!
Jian Ling paused while typing, rubbed the ring on her left middle finger with her right thumb twice, and smiled sweetly: "Yeah." Although she was noisy like a little crazy at home, she was usually very low-key at work and didn't mention this matter specifically.

She has always kept her public and private lives separate, and she blocks her colleagues from sharing on WeChat Moments, with the exception of Dai Wangchu and Minglang. It's normal that others don't know.

Lin Xiaoran stood up straight, hooked her fingers through the hair beside her ears, and smiled with narrowed eyes: "Congratulations, remember to invite us when you get married."

Jian Ling didn't hesitate and responded openly, "Sure."

Her straightforward agreement meant that the wedding date with Cheng Zhixu was almost set. Lin Xiaoran had a guess in mind, and after saying "Congratulations," she took her cup and went to the tea room.

In less than half a day, the entire planning department knew that the boss had successfully proposed and the wedding date was approaching. Within a day, the entire company knew about it.

After get off work, Jian Ling told Cheng Zhixu on WeChat that she was going out shopping and dining with Dai Wangchu that evening and might be back late. She had already moved her belongings to Cheng Zhixu's other apartment the previous day—she loved the decor there. The elders from both sides had met formally and were preparing to put the marriage on the agenda, making the two of them legitimate. The Jian family elders had no objections to her moving in.

Ten minutes later, Cheng Zhixu replied.

Keeper: “I understand.”

Jian Ling's affectation kicked in, and she expressed slight dissatisfaction: "Cheng Zhixu, you used to reply to my WeChat messages within seconds. Now you don't cherish it anymore, and you only reply after ten minutes!"

Cheng Zhixu once said, "Don't cherish what you get." He meant it as a joke, but now she has learned it perfectly.

Zookeeper: "You don't come home for dinner and you expect me to reply to your message immediately?"

Palm Pig: "Don't act like a resentful husband..."

As Jian Ling was about to exit the chat, she glanced at the note in the upper left corner of the screen: "Keeper." This was the new note she had changed for Cheng Zhixu, because he had always called her "Zhang Shang Ming Zhu" and refused to change it no matter what she tried. Gradually, she accepted it. To accommodate him, she changed it to the current one.

Dai Wangchu rubbed his arms to shake off the goose bumps and acted as if he couldn't stand it: "Please be nicer to single people."

Jian Ling stuffed her phone back into her bag, took her arm and acted coquettishly: "If I wasn't friendly to you, I wouldn't have left my fiancé to go shopping with you."

Dai Wangchu said "Oh" and jokingly said, "You're calling him 'fiancé' now? When are you planning to get married? The first half of the year seems a bit tight, how about the second half of the year?"

"Hehe." Jian Ling smiled sweetly when she mentioned this. "The wedding date will be decided by the adults. We are currently planning to pick a good day in August. We will get the marriage certificate first."

Although getting a marriage certificate also requires picking a good day, she and Cheng Zhixu can just make the decision.

Seeing her smile so sweet, Dai Wangchu, who prided herself on being a career-oriented woman, felt a little envious. She sighed and said, "You're really quick. You started working last June, and you're getting your marriage certificate this year."

Jian Ling didn't realize it, so after thinking for a moment, she asked back, "Soon? You said you started working last year."

Dai Wangchu was speechless. Isn't this fast enough? It's faster than most ordinary people, okay?!

Jian Ling raised her lips and smiled. She put her arm around Dai Wangchu's shoulders intimately and laughed on her shoulder. "Speaking of this, it's really not my fault. It's Boss Cheng who is more impatient. You may not know that he has already celebrated his 29th birthday and is 30 years old. It's understandable that a man in his thirties can't wait."

Dai Wangchu was extremely happy. Only she dared to say that to her boss.

-

Jian Ling accompanied Dai Wangchu shopping, had hot pot together, and then took a taxi home. It was around nine o'clock in the evening when she entered the house. Boss Cheng wasn't working in the study or resting in the bedroom. Instead, he was sitting alone on the sofa in the living room, flipping through an English book as thick as a brick.

"Are you back?" Cheng Zhixu greeted him indifferently without looking away.

After changing her shoes, Jian Ling jumped in front of him, not caring whether he was doing anything serious or not, and sat down next to him. When she found that he still didn't look at her, she simply stretched out her legs and sat on his thighs.

"Cheng Zhixu, are you angry?" She rested her chin on the book in his hand, blinking her watery eyes, trying to be cute. "What did you have for dinner?"

Cheng Zhixu: "Green vegetables."

Jian Ling: "There's more."

Cheng Zhixu: "Hairtail fish."

Like squeezing toothpaste, Jian Ling asked a question and the man answered. Suddenly, Jian Ling leaned over, bit his lips, and gave him a deep kiss.

Cheng Zhixu had always enjoyed her embrace, but this time, after she took the initiative to kiss him, he frowned and asked with a strange expression, "What does your mouth taste like?"

Jian Ling tilted her head: "Hehe, it smells like hot pot. I forgot to rinse my mouth."

Cheng Zhixu: “…”
