Chapter 374: The Proposal - Pretending to Cultivate in Kindergarten

Chapter 374: The Proposal In the General Manager's office on the seventh floor of Zhengshi Company. Han Wenwen, dressed in a secretary's outfit, was alone in the office practicing tea pouring and bowing. She mimicked and rehearsed with an empty boss chair, saying, "Boss~ please have some tea." Feeling it was not seductive enough, she adjusted her posture again. Perching slightly more provocatively on the edge of the desk while holding a tea bowl, she said, "Boss~ have some tea~" After practicing, she felt satisfied but then turned around with a pout: "Why hasn't Brother Zhengran returned? What's he doing?" The elevator on the seventh floor chimed. Han Wenwen's fox-like ears perked up: "Brother Zhengran?" She hurried to the door to greet him. Sure enough, Lin Zhengran was walking leisurely toward the office. "Brother Zhengran~ ah no, President Lin is back?" Lin Zhengran glanced at Han Wenwen's playful, charming expression and, as he passed by her, gave her a light tap on her rear: "No need to stick it out so much. I already know you have a great figure." A slight blush appeared on Han Wenwen's face, and she watched as Brother Zhengran took a seat in the boss chair: "Knowing is one thing, showing is another. Just like how a woman works out even after getting a boyfriend to keep his heart, isn’t it?" Lin Zhengran reclined in the boss chair and glanced at Han Wenwen: "You've already got a good hold on me. How did your day of learning with Pan Lin go?" Han Wenwen turned and closed the office door, securing it with a click. She sauntered toward Lin Zhengran, her hand lightly tracing the table's edge, a gesture full of allure: "I learned well. Sister Pan mentioned that the most challenging part of being a secretary is understanding the boss's preferences, and since everyone's different, satisfying them can be difficult. But~" Han Wenwen paused beside Lin Zhengran, deliberately sitting on his lap and meeting his gaze: "For Wenwen, that's the easiest part because I know all of Brother Zhengran's habits—from how long he takes to eat to his favorite colors and clothing styles, even how to cheer him up quickest in certain situations." She spread her hands: "So for me, learning it is super fast. As for the work part, I'm a tad short, but give me a few more days, and I'll surely get it down." Lin Zhengran watched the foxier young woman's cheeky antics, knowing full well she was in one of her moods again. Once she got this way, there was no stopping her, and if he refrained from touching her, she'd likely end up crying, just as she had once before in frustration. When Lin Zhengran reached for a drink, Han Wenwen eagerly intercepted: "Let me!" She gently offered the tea cup to his lips, using her practiced tone: "Boss~ have some tea~" Lin Zhengran took a sip. Han Wenwen asked: "How's the taste?" "Hmm, tastes like tea." A play on words. Han Wenwen pursed her lips, shyly giving Lin Zhengran a teasing glare before sipping the tea he left behind. After tasting, she said, "Of course tea tastes like tea." Lin Zhengran examined Wenwen's outfit for the day. High heels and black stockings paired with a tightly fitted skirt, filled out snugly by her sitting on his lap, imbued with the unique scent of little fox. Lin Zhengran placed his hand on her thigh. Gently stroking. Feeling the warmth of Lin Zhengran's palm, Han Wenwen bit her lip and asked: "How does it feel, boss? I specifically chose these stockings for today; the texture should be better." "They're nice." Wenwen quickly added: "Moreover, Sister Jiang and Sister Pan won't be returning for the next two to three hours. Earlier, while you were out, Sister Jiang took those files, saying you worked hard this morning, and she'd handle the afternoon tasks. She suggested that you take a good rest." Lin Zhengran and Han Wenwen exchanged a knowing smile. His hand mischievously slid under Wenwen's shirt, wrapping around her waist. Wenwen complied by looping her arms around Lin Zhengran's neck. "Boss, what do you want to do with your little secretary?" "I want to give you a gift." "A gift?" Han Wenwen drew closer, their noses nearly touching. Her fox-like eyes blinked, her long eyelashes fluttering with intrigue: "What kind of gift? Is it something tasty?" "It's not edible, though." "There's something on Brother Zhengran that's not edible? Wenwen doesn't believe it." To Wenwen's surprise, Lin Zhengran pulled out a small box from his pocket. "See, it’s indeed something you can’t eat." Wenwen hadn't expected an actual gift. She assumed the so-called 'gift' meant Brother Zhengran was in the mood. Her eyes widened with surprise, her gaze sharpening as she focused on the exquisite little box: "What's this?" "Open it and see. I made it myself." "You made it?" Wenwen eagerly eyed the box, adjusting her posture as she carefully took it and slowly opened it. Curious to see what it could be. The contents, once revealed, left Wenwen stunned. Her pupils unconsciously widened in surprise, covering her mouth with emotion, her speech stammering: "I-is this a... ring?" The diamond ring inside reflected various facets of light in the sunlight. Lin Zhengran took out the ring from the box. The back of the ring was even engraved with the initial of Han Wenwen’s name. "Traditionally, proposals are probably something meant for after graduation, but due to certain reasons..." reflecting on a previous incident with Jiang Jingshi losing a ring: "I decided to move it up a bit. But the wedding should definitely wait until after graduation." He looked up at the little fox, her hands covering her lips, heart practically pounding through her chest with unexpected excitement. Lin Zhengran asked: "Wenwen, will you marry me after graduation?" Those words made Wenwen's eyes misty with emotion. After a brief moment of stunned silence, she nervously put down her hands, answering without hesitation: "I do! Of course I do! From the day Wenwen met Brother Zhengran, Wenwen’s been his little fox, belonging only to Brother Zhengran." She slowly extended her finger. Lin Zhengran slipped the diamond ring onto her left ring finger. Seeing the ring in place, he couldn't help but smile. Han Wenwen raised her hand, the ring twinkling like stardust on her tender, fair finger. She glanced at Lin Zhengran, moved. Her breath hitching as tears fell. "Brother Zhengran... Wenwen loves you so much." She suddenly embraced Lin Zhengran, bursting into sobs. The previously flirtatious atmosphere completely replaced. Lin Zhengran had to hold Wenwen, comforting her. Gently patting her head and rubbing her back: "There, there, no need to cry that much." Wenwen buried her face in Lin Zhengran’s neck: "But it’s a proposal. Being proposed to by Brother Zhengran is the happiest thing for Wenwen. I didn’t expect this today, I love Brother Zhengran so much." The emotional moment subsided after a bout of tears, and in turn, heightened Wenwen’s spirits. She kissed Lin Zhengran passionately: “I want... I want Brother Zhengran, I want you.” Chaos ensued.
