Chapter 490: Chapter 272 Mr. Tang, Come Marry Me_4 Chapter 490: Chapter 272 Mr. Tang, Come Marry Me_4 Long fingers glided over the transparent film, caressing the familiar photo.
When Wen Ruan gave him the wallet, the photo was already there, taken by her colleague. (Chapter 218)
The print quality was very good, it must have been color corrected in post-production.
This showed how significant the team-building day at Huaying Creative Park had been to her, how deeply it had impressed her.
It could be said, if not because of the [Luck Badge],
he might still have been entangled with his older sister for a very long time.
That night, their relationship had progressed dramatically, to the point where Wen Ruan even ended up in bed with him.
Although due to her period, they didn’t actually ‘score a goal’, he recklessly perceived Wen Ruan’s true self.
Outside the window, the sky was dimming, and laughter filled the room.
Tang Song looked at the photo, memories slowly flooding his mind, his lips curving into a smile unconsciously.
His fingers reached into the slot of the photo, carefully pulling it out.
Since receiving the wallet, he hadn’t really used it.
It was also the first time he took out the photo.
The quality was excellent, the edges cut neatly and delicately.
After looking at it for a while, just as Tang Song was about to slide it into the photo holder, he vaguely noticed something.
He flipped the photo over.
A line of handwritten words came into view, followed by a smiley made with characters.
[Mr. Tang, come marry me!]
Tang Song stared at the smiley face, the strokes above it seemed to have been dampened, slightly blurred.
In that instant, a surge of unnamed emotions rushed to his head.
His heart felt as if it had been struck by a hammer.
I want to see her right now!
Noticing something was off, Lin Muxue gently spoke out of concern, “What’s wrong, Chairman Tang?”
“Muxue, drive me to the Yan City train station,” Tang Song’s breath was a bit heavy.
“Ah? Right now?” Lin Muxue looked around.
Tang Song didn’t reply to her, instead, he stood up apologetically and announced, “Everyone, I’m really sorry! I have an urgent matter and have to leave first. My apologies! I’ll host a gathering soon to make it up to you!”
His voice was very firm.
Liu Fangbo and others quickly stood up, expressing their concern with courteous words.
Then, they walked Tang Song out of the banquet hall.
Lin Muxue saw Tang Song’s silent form and wisely didn’t ask further.
Soon, a silver Mercedes-Benz S-Class drove out of the parking area.
Tang Song sat in the passenger seat, opened the ticket booking app, and booked the next available business class seat on a high-speed train from Yan City to Imperial City.
Fortunately, he had brought his wallet today, which contained all necessary documents.
After that, he sent a WeChat message to Zhang Xintong, asking for Wen Ruan’s location.
Due to the proximity, it only took a little over ten minutes for the Mercedes-Benz S-Class to stop at the Yan City train station.
“Bye Muxue,” Tang Song waved to Lin Muxue and strode toward the station entrance.
As his figure disappeared, Lin Muxue sighed, rubbing her cheeks forcefully.
Today’s plans were ruined!
No telling when there would be another such good opportunity.
Oh! It’s tough to play basketball, Muxue sighed.
The setting sun’s remnants draped the city in a gentle golden veil.
“Beep-beep-beep—” The sound of a car horn echoed.
Wen Ruan gradually came back to her senses.
Gazing at the familiar yet unfamiliar street scenes, she sighed inwardly.
She had lived in Old Palace for five years and was very familiar with Yizhuang Bridge, often wandering around Cold Water River with Simin.
Back then, they would dream about their futures, with Sun Simin always saying that she wanted to buy an apartment here one day.
Now, she finally got her wish, right next to the Yizhuang Bridge metro station in the Fuyuan neighborhood.
A 2-room 1-hall apartment of 83 square meters, costing 56,000 yuan per square meter, with an initial payment of almost 1.5 million yuan.
They followed the crowd and entered the small gate of the neighborhood.
Wen Ruan checked the map and led Zhang Xintong towards Building 13.
People passed by around them: couples, elderly, dog walkers, children.
The neighborhood environment was very suitable for living, featuring old-style residential buildings of 5-6 stories.
Thanks to Imperial City’s urban renovation projects, the buildings had been painted just a few years ago and looked quite nice.
“Ruannuan! Ruannuan! Ahhh!”
Screams and footsteps arose.
Then, dressed in casual attire, Sun Simin ran towards them from beneath building number 13, and they hugged each other tightly.
“Mua~mua~ I’ve been looking forward to seeing you; you’re really busy, it’s even hard to make an appointment with you. How is work, is it going smoothly?”
“Yeah,” Wen Ruan smiled and nodded without showing any sign of oddity, “Let me introduce, this is my colleague Zhang Xintong, she came along for a meal.”
While chatting, the three of them entered the building through the foyer and ascended the somewhat old stairs to the fourth floor.
Snapping her fingers, holding onto the smart lock, Sun Simin said mysteriously, “We just bought a whole set of furniture at IKEA half a month ago, I haven’t even shared it on my circle of friends yet. Come, see for yourself, give me your refined artistic opinion.”
Thump-thump-thump— Sun Simin pulled open the apartment door.
The cozy interior came into view.
Light wooden floors, white walls, vibrantly colored cushions, a white wooden TV stand, a light gray fabric sofa…
The overall look was simple and refreshing in the IKEA style, creating a very livable atmosphere.
Then, she saw several familiar faces on the sofa.
College mate Zheng Jinpeng, former coworker Su Keke, together with Sun Simin’s husband, Zhou Bo.
“Wen Ruan.” “Wen Ruan, you’ve arrived!”
“Wen Ruan!” Dressed in casual attire, Zheng Jinpeng stood up, his gaze somewhat nostalgic as he said, “Long time no see.”
It had been almost four years since they had seen each other, and the youthful naivety had completely faded from this former college beauty.
