Chapter 115 What kind of proposal ceremony do you like?
Nearing 12 o'clock in the evening, Shen Chaoxi sorted out the latest chapters of the novel and clicked on the scheduled delivery.
At the same time, Shang Jianghan came in from next door after finishing his work.
He had an international online meeting in the evening, which just ended after two hours.
Shen Chaoxi stood up and poured half a cup of warm water for himself and Shang Jianghan respectively.
She walked over and saw Shang Jianghan already sitting in the seat she had just sat in.
The laptop was turned off, and she had taken off her black-framed glasses and put them aside, while Shang Jianghan was flipping through a book on postgraduate entrance examination English.
"Preparing for the postgraduate entrance examination?"
While taking the cup of water, the big hand with distinct joints grabbed Shen Chaoxi's fair wrist and pulled her to sit next to him.
Shang Jianghan glanced at her sideways with a tender expression.
Maybe it was because he had enough sleep in the afternoon, or maybe it was the bowl of nourishing millet porridge with dates, longans, etc. that made him look so energetic.
"Well, I planned to take the exam when I graduated last year, but I just didn't find the time." Shen Chaoxi took a few sips of warm water and reached out to tidy up the messy papers on the coffee table.
Her upper body tilted sideways, and her long hair, which had been ripped off the rubber band, instantly fell down, covering half of her face.
The incandescent light cast a halo over her and shone on her slender waist, revealing a piece of fair skin that looked like it was covered with a layer of silver halo.
Shang Jianghan calmly placed his arm on the back of the sofa behind her and looked down at her busying around in front of him.
"Which exam are you going to take?"
Shen Chaoxi paused, and then said: "If I had taken the exam last year, I would definitely have gone to Hunan University. If I take the exam next year, I will go to Tsinghua University and Peking University. But I'm afraid it will be difficult to get into here." She frowned and expressed her concerns.
Shang Jianghan took out a cigarette box from his pocket, knocked out a cigarette, and without lighting it first, he held it between his fingers and turned it half a circle.
"Why don't you apply to Hunan University?" he asked in a low voice.
Shen Chaoxi heard deliberateness in his tone and looked at him sideways, with a smile in his clear black eyes.
"Mingzhi Counselor, of course it's because... my family!"
Amused by the girl's deliberate pause, he moved his large hand on the back of the chair to her shoulder and squeezed it gently.
"Then apply to these two schools. When we get married, you can go to school and I will be responsible for making money to support you!"
Just now, I was almost choked to death by the word "marriage". Fortunately, I was busy with work and did not embarrass Shen Chaoxi. Now he brought it up again.
"Who's getting married? Who are you marrying? Why are you asking so easily?"
Shang Jianghan took the book from her hand, put it aside, turned her shoulder, lowered his head, and looked at her.
"Marriage is more secure. I'm afraid you'll run away again if things don't go your way one day!"
Shen Chaoxi's face turned red and his heart was beating fast, but he managed to remain calm.
"I should be the one saying this. You are the CEO of a listed company, the heir to a wealthy family with a net worth of hundreds of billions. I am just an ordinary citizen who makes a living with my own hands, living from hand to mouth, and still has to study. I am not afraid that you will run away, so what are you afraid of?"
The smile on Shang Jianghan's face deepened. He raised his hand and scratched the straight nose of the girl opposite him. Looking at her pink lips, he couldn't help but feel agitated, but he still had to consider that she was sick and he was also in the recovery period.
"Yeah! It sounds like you should be more nervous than me." The man said in a serious tone.
Shen Chaoxi was stunned for a moment, then realized that the other party was teasing him, and hit him with his fist.
The man's pectoral muscles are strong, and they feel hard when touched by fists.
Girls are all curious, and Shen Chaoxi is no exception. She poked it again with her finger until her whole hand was held by a big hand and she was pressed down on the sofa.
The man looked down from above, his dark eyes were deep and bottomless, and his exposed Adam's apple moved up and down.
"I was wrong!" Shen Chaoxi realized the danger and begged for mercy, "Teacher Shang, you haven't recovered yet, and I'm also having the flu, we're really not suitable..."
"Unsuitable for what?" the man asked darkly.
"That..." With his eyes moving, Shen Chaoxi hurriedly saved himself: "Teacher Shang, we are not talking about marriage. We can't break the rules. You haven't even asked for marriage. You are too unromantic, aren't you?" After a moment, Shang Jianghan finally let go of the other party, sat back in his seat, and pulled Shen Chaoxi.
The two sat side by side.
"What kind of proposal ceremony do you like?"
For the first time, Shen Chaoxi discovered that when it came to love, Shang Jianghan was half a straight man.
She laughed softly, "I'm just teasing you. I don't need formalities. But there's one thing. Can we not make our marriage public first?"
"A secret marriage?"
"Well, I won't make it public for now. You know you have a special identity, and I don't want to be watched everywhere and have no freedom."

The next afternoon, Shen Chaoxi went to the hospital.
Grandma was still in the intensive care unit and didn't need anyone to stay with her for the time being. Shen Chaoxi asked the doctor about her grandmother's condition and went to the ward when he learned that she was in good condition.
The ward that was arranged in advance for grandma was in the VIP ward on the top floor, and the reason for this was naturally due to Zhong Hongguang's connections.
When Shen Chaoxi came, she brought some daily necessities with her. She wanted to put them in the ward first so that she could use them when her grandmother moved in.
When I walked into the ward, I unexpectedly saw Yao Chun sorting her clothes.
The two didn't talk on the phone today, and they both happened to come to the hospital.
It was still early after a simple packing, so Yao Chun wanted to wait for Zhong Hongguang to pick him up, so he pulled Shen Chaoxi to sit down and chat.
"Dian Dian, Didi, I haven't seen you for a while. Would you like to stay at my place for a few days?"
Shen Chaoxi nodded, but she had her own plans.
"The crew has started filming, so I may need to follow the script for a few days. Also, I am preparing for the postgraduate entrance examination next year, so I want to find a house to move out."
There have been a lot of things going on at home recently, and Yao Chun thought about it and didn't object.
"Well, I'm afraid your grandmother will be in the hospital for a long time this time, and your aunt has to take care of your cousin's wife. Everything has happened at the same time, and it's really uneasy."
They talked for a while about whether to rent or buy a house. Seeing that it was not yet five o'clock, Shen Chaoxi suddenly changed the subject and asked about Yao Chun and Zhong Hongguang.
Even though she is already in her forties, Yao Chun can't help showing shyness on her face when talking about her lover.
"Why are you asking this? It's all old news!"
Shen Chaoxi looked at the woman in front of him who was still dignified and beautiful, and had become more beautiful than a flower over the years, and suddenly felt that love was actually a very beautiful thing.
Although it hurts, it is as indispensable as air when you meet the right person.
Although she said it was not worth mentioning, Yao Chun still told her how she met Zhong Hongguang.
“…In my freshman year, a young overseas returnee PhD student came to the School of Economics. He was said to be handsome, elegant, gentle and polite.
That day, my classmates dragged me to the Economics Department to look for someone, and I almost bumped into him in the corridor. Later I found out that he was the rumored Zhong Hongguang.
...I didn't expect that we were destined to meet. We were assigned to the same car and sat together when we went on a spring outing. I get very carsick, and he took care of me all the way...
During our sophomore year, we confirmed our relationship, but we didn’t make it public because we were afraid of what others might say.
He is quite simple. We dated for two years, and it was only when we were about to graduate that I found out that he was the heir of the Zhong family. "
Yao Chun was halfway through his speech when the door of the ward was pushed open.
When he saw the person coming, Yao Chun's eyes brightened and a smile filled his eyelashes.
"So, if people don't get nagged, doesn't it mean it will take another hour to come?"
