Chapter 559: 0549 Surprise Chapter 559: 0549 Surprise [Enough about those annoying people. Am I really the only one looking forward to Xinyan and President Gu’s wedding?]

[+1 to the comment above, finally someone shares my thoughts!]

[The most well-matched Golden Boy and Jade Girl are finally getting married, I’m truly excited!]

[Congratulations to Xinyan, congratulations to President Gu!]

“…”

The trending searches were quickly dominated by news of Su Xinyan’s marriage and the international competition.

The fervor showed no signs of waning.

But without a doubt, the protagonist of every trending topic was Su Xinyan.

–

Su Ran paid no attention to the happenings online; after getting into the car, she realized there was indeed no man inside, which made her feel a slight sense of loss.

Qin Feng astutely caught the expression on Su Ran’s face through the rearview mirror and lightly tugged at his lips.

“Miss Xiao Ran, President Fu really, really wanted to pick you up at the airport, but there was an urgent document at the company, so he truly couldn’t make it,” he said.

Su Ran took a deep breath and nodded.

“I understand.”

Fu Qiyuan was busy; of course, she knew that.

But knowing was one thing, she still felt a bit disappointed.

Qin Feng awkwardly touched his nose, uncertain of what to say at that moment.

He had never seen Miss Xiao Ran looking so downcast.

From the first time they met, he thought she was decisive and efficient.

And yet, here she was, silently upset over a man.

Their President Fu…what a sinner he was!

However, thinking about what their boss had done, Qin Feng felt he had no right to criticize others.

Ultimately, they were both resolute and strategizing individuals, driven to a frenzied passion by love.

Qin Feng suddenly wanted to let out a long sigh toward the heavens; love, indeed, was a dangerous affliction.

But seeing President Fu and Miss Xiao Ran like this, he felt a longing for love himself.

While Qin Feng was lost in his myriad of random thoughts, Su Ran suddenly spoke up.

“Special Assistant Qin, this outfit… did you go for some sort of special training?”

Qin Feng, at that moment, seemed a bit disheveled compared to his usual self.

The hair that was always impeccably groomed looked a bit messy, his usually crisp suit was wrinkled, and his sleeves even seemed to have some unidentified powder on them.

It was far from his typical sharp and capable image.

Qin Feng froze for a moment, startled, and subconsciously looked down at himself.

Indeed, he was a bit of a mess.

He chuckled nervously and said awkwardly:

“Heh heh heh, something like that…”

Su Ran nodded, looking puzzled, but did not ask anything further.

Qin Feng immediately breathed a sigh of relief and silently increased the car’s speed.

When the car stopped at Platinum Lanting, the sky had already begun to darken.

Su Ran didn’t wait for Qin Feng to get out of the driver’s seat and opened the door herself to exit the car.

The courtyard lights were already on, making the villa appear even darker.

Su Ran looked at the pitch-black villa and slightly frowned; it was dark already, so why were the lights off?

Could it be that all the servants had taken the day off?

Su Ran ascended the steps to the door, raised her hand, and entered the code.

The safety lock of the door emitted a sound signaling successful unlocking. She gripped the doorknob, giving it a gentle push, and pulled open the door.

A thick fragrance of roses instantly filled her nostrils; Su Ran’s brows knitted slightly, but in the next moment, her heart trembled ever so slightly.

Her entire being was suddenly wrought with nervous anticipation.

She stood motionless, not knowing how much time had passed, she bit her lip gently and slowly walked into the living room.

The living room was shrouded in darkness, unveiled by nothing except a few strands of faint light pouring in from the yard.

The scent of roses became even more intense, and Su Ran’s heartbeat picked up its pace.

She closed her eyes for a moment, took a deep breath, and then slowly opened them as she flipped on the living room lights with a “click.”

Simultaneously–

“Bang!”

“Bang!”

Su Ran’s body flinched as two sounds of poppers suddenly erupted; she slowly raised her head, her dazzling eyes shrinking slightly.

The vast living room was saturated with rose petals, vivid as drops of fresh blood, covering the floor, the sofas, and the coffee table.

The stark contrast of blacks and whites, coupled with the vivid red of the rose petals, delivered an incredibly potent visual impact.

What was even more shocking to Su Ran was that beneath her feet was a path paved with colorful petals.

And at the end of this path stood her happiness.

Fu Qiyuan was dressed in a suit so immaculately ironed that it highlighted the perfect proportions of his physique; his long, slender legs stood firm and resolute beneath his suit trousers.

His inked eyebrows were meticulously shaped, his nose high and noble, his features so exquisitely handsome as if carved by fine craftsmanship, and his eyes as fathomless as the deep sea.

The bright light of the living room shone upon his distinctly chiseled face, so dazzling it was hard to look away even for a second.

The noble aura emanating from him pierced the heart, and the cold, dignified air he projected flowed out from him, exuding an enigmatic charm.

He stood at the staircase, at the other end of the floral path, holding a large bouquet of roses at the intersection of joy, gazing across at the girl standing opposite him, her face in a stupor.

The corners of his lips curved ever so subtly, and in that instant, all other flowers in the room seemed to lose their color.

The servants stood on either side of the path, their expressions brimming with excitement, but Su Ran could see none of them at that moment.

Across the long path, she looked up at the man standing at the staircase. Their gazes met through the air, her heart clenched suddenly, her breathing becoming suffocating.

And the man opposite, at this moment, began striding forward with his long legs, stepping through the flowers, slowly walking in her direction.

Su Ran’s heart skipped a beat, the closer the man got, the louder her heartbeat sounded, as if it might leap out of her chest at any moment.

Fu Qiyuan stopped in front of her, and her body instantly froze in place, staring blankly up at him as his low, mellow voice with a hint of pleasure rang out:

“Congratulations on your victorious return, my girl.”

Su Ran’s eyes contracted sharply, a huge surge of surprise and emotion filling her entire being.

Seeing her reaction, Fu Qiyuan’s lips curled slightly and he extended the roses towards her.

Looking up at the man’s tender, indulgent eyes, Su Ran’s delicate face flushed with an imperceptible touch of red.

Her faraway thoughts finally returned, and looking down at the roses before her, she reached out to take them.

“Thank you!”

Her cool voice could not conceal her joy, nor the excitement within it.

Afterward, she looked up at the handsome man before her and said softly,

“Did you prepare all these specially for me?”

Fu Qiyuan’s lips formed a slight curve, “Yes, do you like them?”

As soon as his words fell, Su Ran nodded eagerly like a pecking chick.

“I like them.”

No wonder all women loved romance and surprises.

To be constantly kept in someone’s heart, such a beautiful thing it was.
