Chapter 397: The Most Hyped-Up Wedding Proposal (Part 2)
She could not put a finger on how she was feeling. She only felt a slight pain in her eyes and a slight nasal-ness in her nose as she grabbed Third Young Master Ye’s sleeves tightly. When the animation came to an end, a piano appeared amid a sea of roses.
He wore a white wedding gown and sat before the piano. He played the ‘Für Elise’ and the background changed from day to night. The white moonlight poured down on the sea of roses. He had a gorgeous demeanor and calm, deeply passionate eyes, sitting attentively in front of the piano and allowing his long, slender fingers to pour out a melody of love.
He was as gorgeous as prince charming from Greek mythology.
She remembered how she used to attend a banquet where a rich man’s son played this tune for his favorite girl and they became the focus of the banquet.
She said that this rich man’s son had a good sense of melody and played the piece well. He was good-looking and was deeply passionate in how he treated her. If she were the girl, she would stand by him until the end of time.
He was extremely displeased at the scene and said back then that there was something about the tune of the piece that was off-color and said piece felt different. She even teased him and asked him whether he was jealous.
He grabbed her and taught her a lesson.
If it weren’t for this piece, she almost forgot this particular song. She did not expect him to remember it and even play it for her. She could smell the scent of love from the quick flowing piece.
She was, from this moment, the princess of the world.
“Miss Cheng Anya, please marry me.” Once the piece ended, the prince charming stood up and looked unbelievably gorgeous to the point nobody would dare to insult him. She felt something fell from her eyes.
While she was caught off-guard at the start as a wedding proposal did not need to be so sensational, half of the nation watched this broadcasted shocking proposal. She felt that it was too insane and too intense and was at a loss. She was upset, joyful, shocked, and could not make out how she felt. As she saw how they arrived at today and heard his wedding proposal along with the ‘Für Elise’, she only felt touched.
When it came to romance, he was the one and only.
He said that he would not shortchange her of anything, and he did just that!
“Miss Cheng, please marry me.” His gentle, deep and passionate voice rang next to her ear. His warmth brushed past her ear as well, and she became slightly red.
As he quietly awaited her answer, his slender fingers wiped the tears off her face.
As she teared, she nodded madly and turned around to kiss him on his lips. This was the first time she felt that even Cinderella could become a princess, the most attention-grabbing princess.
He gave her all of that.
The happiest, most beautiful memories that would never fade for life.
Whenever she recalled them, she was definitely touched and felt good.
“I do!” While her tears landed between her lips and teeth, they were, however, sweet. It was then she learned that tears, in their most beautiful, were sweet.
Ye Chen, Ye Chen, to be able to encounter such a person like him and fall in love with him was able to satisfy her for life. Even if she were to die at this very moment, she was willing to.
How could people not love him?
She recalled how she threw behind a hundred yuan seven years ago and ran away and how her impression of him remained as that of a brutal, violent, and bestial person. It was in her darling Ning Ning’s face that she saw that murky shadow of him.
After they met each other, one too many things happened within those few months that caught them off guard and slowly drew them closer to each other. When she returned, she did not expect herself and Ning Ning’s father to write a love story together.
When she just entered MBS International, it did not cross her mind that she would fall in love with that cold, scheming man that he was.
To not only love but to exclusively belong to him.
She was at her wits’ end. She laughed and cried as he looked at her gently and wiped the tears away from her. However smart a woman was, there was always that moment in her life that she would lose control of herself.
The overflowing happiness in her heart was about to burst through this thin membrane in her heart. Having been through once too many, they returned to the starting point of happiness like how the prince and the princess will always be happily reunited in every fairy tale.
While Cinderella and the prince would live together happily, nobody knew whether Cinderella would remain this happy for the rest of their life, and whether the prince would be able to help her live a worry-free life.
She was wondering whether she, as Cinderella, would be able to remain as happy.
It was because Ye Chen was that all-capable prince.
“How did you even think of this?” she wiped away the tears in her eyes and asked. Whenever she went to work and ended work with him, she was almost always with him and did not see the slightest signs. She had absolutely no idea when he had somebody create this animation.
She also had no idea when he had the wedding proposal and the piano solo recorded. He was so tight-lipped about it, and she would have fainted had her heart not been that strong.
She recalled how directors, producers, managers from the media department were laughing and slithered away when they saw her. Could it be because of that?
What Third Young Master Ye did was touching and thrilling to them since he was a cold person and a myth amongst An Ning International’s employees. For him to become this romantic was nothing short of thrilling, and this clip was even played during MBS International’s prime time slot.
The shock and awe it had were indescribable.
“Didn’t this move work?” Third Young Master Ye laughed and asked. “At least, you were touched to tears, so it’s worth it.”
For want of that wholly different wedding, he read the novels she typically read, specially chose wedding proposal scenes, and even had a director in An Ning International extract hundreds of classic wedding proposal scenes for him.
He thought about it but could not settle on the best approach. He hence called her best friend Li Yun. Li Yun said to him, “All you have to do is to look for anything that’s cliché, high-profile, and sensational, then move in that direction.”
He thought for a night and settled on it. There was absolutely no precedent.
To rush out this clip in half a month was a mean feat as the entire media department worked OT to ensure the realism and quality that went into the clip. They took painstaking effort to rush out the clip.
After they showed Third Young Master Ye the clip, they had to re-edit a few portions he was unsatisfied with.
It was eventually decided to screen it tonight during MBS International’s prime time slot. He also bought GK International Media’s prime time slot. One was the top domestic channel whilst the other was the top international channel. The channels would screen this clip for a week.
One could describe it as sensational without precedent.
When she heard it, she was stunned. The word ‘insanity’ came to her mind because it was simply insane.
To buy over an hour of GK International Media’s prime time slot, and for a week, was so insane an idea that she almost went mad.
Third Young Master Ye insisted on his motto—high profile as always.
“Forget it. Just screen it tonight,” Cheng Anya said. She became a famous person in City A overnight thanks to the clip, and if this went for a week… everybody in town would know her.
Everybody could agree that the animation was of top-quality.
Third Young Master Ye was not particularly worried since they were no stars. Besides, how long could people remember them being this famous? A month? Two months? Once even more sensational new spread, the attention of the viewers would shift.
The typical calm their days had would resume, and nothing would seem like it had changed. Besides, what was more important was that he wanted others to witness the proposal as well as the entire wedding. He had his own plans.
Firstly, she deserved the best. Secondly… His lips curled into a smile and he deeply kissed Cheng Anya.
“Are you happy?” Third Young Master Ye released the lips that became puffy from his kissing and asked in laughter. Her happiness was what mattered to him, and him racking his head was in exchange for her tears and smiles.
She nodded. She was extremely happy.
She would be able to enjoy this scene for the rest of her life. And as he said, if the roses could be paid for in installments, she would be able to pay for her touched feelings in installments as well because she would never be able to use them all up.
“What matters is that you are happy. Our darling child and Ye Wei will reach the day after tomorrow and will stay until our marriage is over and we go for a honeymoon. You will be even happier,” Third Young Master Ye laughed and said that Ning Ning had told him over the internet that he and Ye Wei were on different flights but would arrive on the same day.
“Really?” An elated surprise was written on Cheng Anya’s face as she pouted. “Darling child is really biased to tell you that instead of me. How could he be so blind! That’s biased!”
Third Young Master Ye laughed and said, “Both father and son had to discuss some things.”
“Humph!” Miss Cheng pouted unhappily. Third Young Master Ye laughed without saying a word whilst he hugged her, feeling content. She suddenly remembered something and said, “If you have already gone to such lengths for the wedding proposal, wouldn’t the wedding be…”
Even more sensational?
“Don’t worry about this. All you have to worry about is just wearing the wedding gown that very day and walking up to me in it,” Third Young Master Ye said with his typical domineering streak. He did not allow Cheng Anya to worry about the wedding.
It was exactly because he was handling everything that made her worried, and the wedding was bound to be sensational. She, however, calmed down. The wedding proposal was already shocking. There was nothing else that she would not be able to bear.
As the two of them hugged and exchanged sweet words, Third Young Master Ye’s cell phone rang. Liu Xiaotian’s voice came over the phone and said, “President Ye, our customer service hotline is being overwhelmed by incoming calls…”
This was too insane. Liu Xiaotian was on the verge of tears.
Apart from the media department, the news, even jewelry, and real estate departments—any departments which had publicly announced telephone lines were overwhelmed with calls!
