55: Phoenix Seeks Its Mate

His consciousness exiting the system space, Wang Chen looked at Liu Yan, who was sleeping soundly beside him due to exhaustion, his gaze landing on her still somewhat swollen ankle.

He pondered for a moment, entered the mall again, spent 50 godly tycoon points, and purchased another bottle of constitution strengthening fluid.

"Manager Liu, wake up," Wang Chen called out softly to Liu Yan. "Add this to your bathwater and take a soak; it will be good for your foot injury."

Liu Yan woke up in a daze and took the cold blue potion. Although she didn't understand what it was, her trust in Wang Chen meant she didn't ask questions and did as she was told.

When Liu Yan came out after her bath, she was shocked to find that the swelling and pain in her ankle had completely disappeared!

Not only that, she felt as if a thousand-pound burden had been lifted from her body. Her skin had become delicate and smooth, her complexion was much rosier, and her entire being was radiant. Both her beauty and temperament had leveled up!

"Mr. Wang! This... this is miraculous!" Liu Yan looked at herself in the mirror, stroking her cheek in disbelief.

Wang Chen nodded in satisfaction. "Now that your foot is healed, you can help me keep an eye on the villa's decorations. Get the scene ready as soon as possible; the details must be perfect," he instructed. "You'll stay here for the next few days. From now on, you are my private housekeeper. When I establish my company, I'll save the secretary position for you."

"Also," Wang Chen suddenly reached out and gently tilted her chin up, leaving her gaze with nowhere to hide. With a gentle smile, he said, "In private, remember to call me 'Hubby'!"

A surge of immense surprise and emotion welled up in Liu Yan's heart. She quickly bowed and responded, "Yes, Wang... Hubby! I will give it my all!"

In the afternoon, Wang Chen left Yujingwan Villa District. Over the next few days, he spent most of his daytime accompanying Du Ruoxi. Together, they planned the ancient-style studio, went shopping, and tasted fine food, their relationship continuing to heat up.

In the evenings, Wang Chen would return to Yujingwan Villa No. 8. On one hand, it was to check on the progress of the decorations; on the other, it was to have some in-depth discussions with the increasingly beautiful and moving Liu Yan.

Time flew by, and on the afternoon of the fifth day, Wang Chen was helping Du Ruoxi pick out new equipment for her livestream when his phone rang. It was Liu Yan.

"Mr. Wang, everything is ready. You can bring Miss Du over now." Liu Yan's voice carried a hint of relief and anticipation after completing her task.

Wang Chen's heart stirred. He hung up the phone and looked at Du Ruoxi, who was fiddling with a white jade hairpin beside him. A mysterious smile appeared on his face. "Ruoxi, come on, I'm taking you somewhere."

"Hmm? Where are we going, Yang Yang?" Du Ruoxi looked up curiously.

"It's a secret for now. First, change into that Hanfu embroidered with 'Lazy Sheep' and 'Chenxi'." Wang Chen pointed to her Hanfu, which held significant meaning.

Seeing Wang Chen being so mysterious, although Du Ruoxi was full of doubt, she still obediently nodded in agreement. She had a faint premonition, and her heart couldn't help but beat a few shades faster.

Wang Chen drove Du Ruoxi, who had changed into her Hanfu, all the way to Yujingwan Villa District. The closer they got to the villa area, the more curious Du Ruoxi became. When the car finally stopped outside the grand gates of Villa No. 8, she couldn't help but ask, "Yang Yang, where is this?"

"Close your eyes first." Wang Chen parked the car, walked to the passenger door, and gently took her hand. "Trust me, just follow me."

Du Ruoxi closed her eyes as told, her long eyelashes trembling slightly. She let Wang Chen lead her, walking forward cautiously. She could feel a soft carpet beneath her feet, and the scent of flowers grew increasingly dense around her nose.

Wang Chen led her step by step to the center of the villa's front yard.

"Alright, Ruoxi, you can open your eyes now."

Du Ruoxi slowly opened her eyes.

In the next instant, she was completely stunned, instinctively covering her slightly parted mouth with her hand in shock.

What met her eyes was a bright red carpet stretching from the villa's gate all the way to the main building's entrance.

And on both sides of the carpet was a vast, endless sea of flowers composed of countless roses of different colors!

In the center of the flower seas on the left and right, roses of different colors had been used to spell out giant heart shapes. The heart on the left contained a golden 'Chen' character, while the one on the right contained a pink 'Xi'!

Everything before her was like a scene from a fairy tale, so romantic it was suffocating.

"Yang Yang... this..." Du Ruoxi's voice trembled, and her eyes instantly turned red.

Wang Chen smiled, took her hand, and continued walking along the red carpet. They arrived at the villa entrance, where an object covered in red silk was parked.

"This is another gift for you. Open it and see," Wang Chen said softly.

Du Ruoxi took a deep breath, stepped forward, and gently pulled back the red cloth.

A stunning flash of red instantly dazzled her!

A Ferrari SF90 sat there quietly, like a red knight ready to charge. Set against the sea of flowers, it exuded a charm that made one's heart race.

"Ah!" Du Ruoxi couldn't help but cry out. Although she didn't know much about cars, the Ferrari logo and the extraordinary beauty of the car were enough for her to understand its immense value.

"Do you like it?" Wang Chen walked to her side and placed an exquisite key into her hand. "It's yours from now on."

"This...! Yang Yang! I..." Du Ruoxi felt the key in her hand was heavy with significance.

"Consider this the first gift I'm giving you," Wang Chen interrupted her, his tone gentle yet brook no refusal. "You deserve the best in the world."

Leading the still-shocked Du Ruoxi, the two walked into the interior of the villa.

The extremely elegant Song-style aesthetic decoration of the entire villa's interior turned Du Ruoxi into a curious child, looking here and touching there. The shock in her eyes was beyond words.

When they reached the master bedroom, Wang Chen whispered in her ear, "This will be your home from now on."

...Night gradually fell, and the evening lights began to glow.

Wang Chen took Du Ruoxi to the terrace on the third floor.

From here, they could see the entire sea of flowers in the front yard.

Just as Du Ruoxi was excitedly pointing out the city lights to Wang Chen, a patch of starlight suddenly lit up in the nearby night sky!

It was a light array composed of countless drones!

As the drones slowly shifted, the three large characters 'Du Ruoxi' instantly appeared in the night sky!

"Ah! It's my name!" Du Ruoxi pointed at the sky in surprise.

Ten seconds later, the drone array began to change, and a picture slowly unfolded in the air.

It was the silhouette of an ancient-style girl seriously livestreaming in front of a camera. Although simple, it bore a striking resemblance to Du Ruoxi... Every scene was a snippet of the time Wang Chen and Du Ruoxi had spent together in the livestream room since they met. Those shared moments of joy and emotion were being reenacted in the night sky in this unique and shocking way!

The entire city seemed to be drawn to this grand drone performance. Countless people looked up in wonder, and sounds of amazement rose one after another.

The internet exploded instantly, with everyone guessing which godly tycoon was making a confession.

Du Ruoxi gazed blankly at the sky, her vision already blurred by tears.

She had never imagined that the memories she treasured in her heart would be displayed in such an exquisitely romantic way, as if announcing their story to the whole world.

As the giant gift box pattern formed by the drones in the sky slowly dissipated, the figure of the ancient-style girl standing inside the box also faded away.

All the drones converged once more, forming six clear, large characters in the night sky.

"Du Ruoxi, I love you!"

At this moment, Du Ruoxi's tears finally broke through, rolling down like pearls from a broken string.

Wang Chen turned around and gazed affectionately at the tearful Du Ruoxi.

At this time, a drone flew in from the distance, carrying the set of jewelry Wang Chen had bought from the system mall.

He took the box and slowly opened it.

A magnificent set of ancient-style jewelry lay quietly in the box. Under the night sky and the reflection of distant lights, it seemed to be silently waiting for its owner.

"This... this is?" Du Ruoxi looked at the breathtakingly beautiful jewelry, her mind going blank.

"It's called 'Startled Swan Clouds and Rainbow'," Wang Chen's voice was gentle yet firm. "Just like you. Ruoxi, from the first time I entered your livestream room, heard your voice, and saw your smile, my heart was occupied by you. Your hard work, your kindness, and that surprise you prepared for me are the most precious gifts I've ever received in my life."

He picked up the Phoenix Hairpin and carefully tucked it into Du Ruoxi's hair, followed by the necklace, bracelet, and earrings.

His movements were gentle and his expression focused, as if he were performing a sacred ritual.

When the entire 'Startled Swan Clouds and Rainbow' set was worn by Du Ruoxi, she truly seemed to have transformed into a celestial fairy from the nine heavens. The Hanfu and the jewelry blended perfectly, shining brilliantly in the night, making Du Ruoxi's beauty incomparable.

Wang Chen took a step back, gazing at the peerless woman before him. He took a deep breath and said in a clear, sincere voice, "Du Ruoxi, I love you! Not the love a fan has for a streamer, but the deep love a man has for a woman. Are you willing to give me a chance to take care of you, protect you, and love you for the rest of my life? Are you willing to be my girlfriend?"

Du Ruoxi was already sobbing uncontrollably. Looking at the man who had prepared all this for her and treated her like a precious treasure, feeling the weight of the jewelry and the even heavier sentiment behind it, and recalling his dedicated companionship and support after she came to Yi City, she was completely overwhelmed by immense happiness and emotion.

She could no longer suppress the feelings in her heart. She suddenly stepped forward, threw herself into Wang Chen's arms, and hugged him tightly with all her strength. With a sob in her voice but with extreme clarity, she shouted in response, "I am willing! Wang Chen, I am willing!"

Her voice echoed in the night sky, carrying boundless determination and joy.

In the distance, Liu Yan and numerous staff members from the property management company, who had been hiding in the shadows to ensure the ceremony went smoothly, witnessed this incredibly romantic scene. They all showed smiles of relief and blessing, spontaneously bursting into applause.

The drones in the night sky shifted once more, forming a giant heart that surrounded the embracing couple.
