Hao really wanted to know what gifts Kerry and Venus had given. After all guests had left, he looked through the list. When he saw the "1,500 dollars" written on it, he said with disdain, "it's really cheap and not creative."
In fact, Kerry and Venus had discussed before coming here what was the right thing to give. When they finally got tired of picking and choosing, Kerry made a decision, "Forget it, let's just give them a red envelope, in case that the guy will think too much when seeing the gift.
Sure enough, Kerry was right.
Kerry was in a good mood when he saw Hao finally get married, so he had a few more drinks at the table. When they arrived home, he soon fell asleep.
When he woke up, it was already evening.
He went down stairs in a daze while Venus and Pingan were playing a clapping game in the living room. When they saw him, Venus said, "My brother just called and asked us to do him a favor."
"Tianye? He will even ask us for help?" Kerry poured a glass of warm water to moisten his throat, "What's it?"
Venus said roughly, and Kerry frowned in frustration, "Hmm, he's got a lot of tricks."
"Are you jealous?" Venus raised her eyebrows and smiled.
"No, I'm not." Kerry raised his head proudly.
A few days later, Venus received a phone call from Xiran.
She was a bit furious, "Venus, have you seen your brother in the past two days?"
Venus put down the pencil in her hand, lolled in her office chair, and said with a smile, "No, he hasn't called me in days. What's going on?"
"Who knows what's going on? He hasn't been seen for days. He isn’t at home, or the company. Besides, I can't get through to his number. So do you think something happened to him?"
"Oh, really?" Venus pretended to be very nervous and said, "I'll go with you to find him?"
"No, just wait two more days. If I can't find him, I'll go to the police."
When Xiran was about to hang up the phone, Venus was busy stopping her, "Xiran, don't worry. my brother is old enough to take care of himself."
"That’s the best. I'm hanging up."
"Wait, do you have time tomorrow night?" Venus flipped through the calendar on her desk and asked.
"Tomorrow night? I have. What for?"
"Kerry has bought a yacht for a test voyage tomorrow night. Come with me."
"No." Xiran refused without hesitation. Tianye has not been seen for several days, how can she have the mood to see the yacht.
"Hey... beep, beep, beep-" The phone was hung up before Venus finished her words.
It seems that Xiran is really anxious. But she has to go, or how can the show go on?
So the next afternoon, Venus specifically skipped off work to look for Xiran, who had just come out of the gym.
"What do you want me to do?" Xiran was helpless.
Venus tugged on her wrist, afraid that she might run away, "I know you're in a bad mood. Come on, I go shopping with you. If a woman is in a bad mood, spending money is the best way to let off steam."
"I don't want to go. I don't have my bank card with me."
"I do. Just use my card and take it as a gift from me." Venus exerted all her strength and finally took her into the mall.
She was in a bad mood when she bought a lot. She didn't even mind the price of the clothes that was over thousands of dollars. And she bought several pairs of shoes and bags before she felt better.
It's not a big deal for Venus, as she’d have to find someone to reimburse her for the money Xiran spent anyway.
"This one looks good. It suits you so well." Venus eyes widened, thinking that it also fit the occasion tonight.
Xiran was wearing a long warm yellow dress with imprinted flowers on it. She untangled her long hair and put it in front of her chest. The cloth and her movement made her an enchanting fairy and a goddess who changed into a devil.
"This one is good enough. No need to change it. Please cut the tag." Venus beckoned the shopping guide.
Xiran sniffed out a hint of weirdness and asked "Venus, are you up to something?"
Venus lied seriously, "No, I just want to make you happy. You are my best friend, so why would I do something bad to you?".
"But aren't you worried about Tianye at all?"
Xiran said with emotion, "Yes, when I was a kid, I wanted to travel around the world when I grew up. That's why I kept going out to travel and explore."
Venus bowed her head and secretly laughed.
The yacht stopped after half of an hour’s travel and Xiran was thinking, "Hey, why did it stop!
Suddenly, a huge firework went off in the sky in the shape of a rose.
Xiran looked at the sky in amazement, and Venus was jumping and laughing, "Wow, it's so pretty."
The night sky quieted down again, and a second one was set off in a few seconds. And this time, Xiran's heart palpitated because her name, Xiran Xiao, was written in the night sky.
A third rose exploded when she sensed something.
"Marry me."
Her eyes instantly moistened, and she finally knew what the guy had gone to do.
She thought it was over, but there was a fourth one.
"Okay?"
There was a huge smiley face behind the word.
The moment the fireworks faded, the yacht suddenly lit up. When Xiran turned around, her man was standing not far away with flowers in his hands, looking at her tenderly.
Around her, there were forty or fifty people who came out of nowhere. All of them were friends she had met during her journey over the years, including many foreigners.
Tianye, holding flowers, approached her step by step from the lantern decorated corridor, then knelt over and pulled out a pink diamond ring. He said with deep feeling, "Xiran, you are the only woman I love in the first half of, and all my life. I will go anywhere you want to go and explore the secrets of the world with you. I will give you everything you want. Are you willing to give me the chance? "
Xiran was touched to cry. The breeze blew up her flowing gauze dress, on which love spirits were dancing.
"I do." She choked out.
"Oh-" Accompanied by shouts and cheers, Tianye put the pink diamond ring on her ring finger.
