NovelEnglish“Marriage?” Chen Shuyi who was on the other side of the phone instinctively glanced outside the window. It wasn’t raining red rain, nor was the sun rising from the west. Did he have tinnitus or was he still dreaming?
Lu Lixing actually took the initiative to consult him about his wedding affairs?
“Lu Lixing, do you still remember what I told you that year on the day of my wedding?”
Lu Lixing knew he wasn’t going to say anything good.
——As expected.
“That year you told me straight to my face that marriage to you; apart from being increasingly troublesome was totally useless. But now, not only are you marrying, even with your huge pile of work you still want to personally consult about a wedding?” One could say that Chen Shuyi’s laughter over the phone was bold. “Even you have this day too, ah Lu Lixing.”
Lu Lixing put up with the three-minute laughter of his long-time friend. Feeling that it was enough, Chen Shuyi stopped before going too far. “I have time now. If you have anything you wish to ask, fire away.”
“I remember the team you had when you got married…”

Lu Lixing paused for a moment. “What steps?”
“Have you chosen a ring?”
“Not yet. I’ll find a time to instruct someone to pick one.”
“Wait a minute, for the ring you have to personally pick it. Do you understand what I’m saying?”
“I…”
“Don’t come telling me excuses for not having enough time.”
“…understood.”
“Have you made preparations for the proposal?”
Lu Lixing brows furrowed.
“Regardless of whether she had previously agreed to marry you or not, you should not be short of a romantic proposal. Because in the future, it would become a shared memory between the two of you.”
“…Alright.”
Chen Shuyi asked again, “Have you seen her parents?”
“…I met them once”
“Once? Then that means you haven’t discussed the dowry.”
“I haven’t.”
“Regarding this, I believe Old Lu is very experienced with it. However, I would still suggest that you personally discuss with Old Lu about the matters regarding the dowry. Although Old Lu is very experienced, you shouldn’t be absent and not participate. Oh right, have the families from both sides met?”
“Haven’t for now.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“The both of you are already preparing to get married. How can both sides of the family not have met even once?”
“First time getting married and don’t have the experience.” Lu Lixing thought of Ji Qingqing’s family. “As for the dowry, I’m intending to use a sum of money to deal with her parents and completely solve that family crisis for her.”
“Family crisis?”
Lu Lixing explained the whole situation about Ji Qingqing’s parents to Chen Shuyi.
“I see.” Chen Shuyi chuckled. “A married daughter is like spilled water. It’s good that way too. It saves the trouble of being pestered. Though are you sure that they will forever not have anything to do with Ji Qingqing and cut off their ties?”
Lu Lixing grinned. “Affirmative.”
Chen Shuyi raised his eyebrow. He knew where Lu Lixing’s certainty stemmed from. “Fine, since you’re so confident, then I’ll wish you a happy marriage in advance.”
While speaking, he seemed to have thought of something. “However, I think I’ve heard that Ji Qingqing’s team is preparing for a dating-related program. Since the two of you are preparing to marry, isn’t this program a bit too inappropriate?”
“A dating-related program?”
“It’s a brand-new program that invites some male and female celebrities in the entertainment industry to act and be a couple in front of the camera and cohabitate for three days.”
“Act as a couple? Live together for three days? She agreed?”
“She hasn’t. It’s just under consideration. But I’ve seen her team’s analysis. Currently, Ji Qingqing’s has a bad reputation and a lot of bad criticisms surrounding her. Also, drama production takes a long time too. This sort of dating program pre-assigns personas for participants. It can easily help to clear up the bad impressions and increase the likeability of the audience. I feel that in Ji Qingqing’s case, she doesn’t need to create a persona. She just needs to show her real self to the audience and act natural and as a result, clearing up bad impressions would be no issue at all.” Chen Shuyi stopped at this point and lifted his brow. “Actually, I think that you can also participate in this program. The director of the program doesn’t intend to only invite celebrities. If you can represent our Tianyu entertainment agency…”
