They first went to have a candlelight dinner, the restaurant was reserved by Xu Zifan, and there were people playing the violin next to them, which was very romantic. Qiao Zixin couldn’t help smiling, thinking that Xu Zifan was going to say something. She didn’t even taste the food. But Xu Zifan only chatted with her and had no intention of confessing his love to her at all. Qiao Zixin couldn’t react when they left the restaurant. So, it’s over? Isn’t this kind of scene used to propose a marriage? Did we just have a simple meal and leave? She felt like they had a fake candlelight dinner!
Then Xu Zifan took her to the cinema, and this time there was no booth. If they wanted to go in, they had to be fully armed that they couldn’t recognize themselves in the mirror. Qiao Zixin gave up hope. How could they express their love if they could not see each other’s faces? So, they went into the cinema and watched a ‘romance’ between the two of them seriously.
Hearing the audience laughing happily with the plot from time to time, and some people whispering “so sweet…”, she especially wanted to expose Xu Zifan; the old retired veteran ’straight man’. She was very tired of trying to be romantic with him.
But although Qiao Zixin has been complaining in her heart, she also felt sweet when she looks at the love between her and Xu Zifan on screen. At the end, everyone who saw the movie at this moment, could see how much they love each other.
Xu Zifan turned to look at Qiao Zixin, and was relieved after seeing the joyful arc on her lips. It seems that this routine is still very effective in making girls very happy, isn’t it? The posts posted on the Internet were very reliable, and he should continue to ask for help next time.
After watching the movie, Xu Zifan took Qiao Zixin for a drive and went to the lake in the early hours of the morning. Qiao Zixin laughed and said, “have you arranged fireworks again? Is it the same as last year?”
Xu Zifan opened the door, took her hand, raised his eyebrow and said, “you don’t like it?”
Qiao Zixin looked at their intertwined fingers, and her heart jumped quickly and suddenly stuttered a little. “I… I… like it, actually. If we do this every year, it would be… my favorite thing…”
Xu Zifan hooked up his lips and took her by the hand. They walked along the lake as they did last year. He asked Qiao Zixin, “did your wish on the fireworks come true last year?”
Qiao Zixin looked at him and regretted: “Not yet.”
Xu Zifan pulled her and stood still, pointing in one direction and said, “do you think the fireworks look good this time?”
Qiao Zixin turned around and saw the fireworks exploding in the sky. The word ‘Zifan’ appeared on the left and ‘Zixin’ on the right. Before she could be surprised, there was another explosion, and a heart-shaped sparkle broke out in the middle of Zifan and Zixin!
Qiao Zixin stared wide-eyed for a moment and looked at the scene in disbelief. “You, you, this is…”
“I’m confessing to you. Qiao Zixin, I like you. We’re in love, right?” Xu Zifan turned Qiao Zixin, to face him, reaching for her shoulder, smiling with serious eyes. He’s making a serious confession.
Qiao Zixin opened her mouth, too excited to speak. Her head was full of Xu Zifan’s ‘I like you’, her heart beating like a drum! The sky began to bloom gorgeous fireworks, Qiao Zixin responded and nodded again and again, showing the brightest smile and said to him: “Right! I like you too. Xu Zifan, I like you!”
Xu Zifan chuckled, picked her up and turned her around several times. Qiao Zixin put her arms around his neck and laughed happily and shouted, “Xu Zifan! I like you! My wish came true— I’m so happy—”
Fireworks bloomed in the air one after another, lighting up the whole night sky. In a few minutes, a few people saw ‘Zifan and Zixin’ fireworks in the sky and hurriedly took photos and recorded short videos and posted them online. Gemini couple fans were all excited, trying to guess whether they are together, or which true-love fans spent money to make fireworks on their own. With the explosion on the Internet, everyone in the company’s public relations department turned on the computer to work overtime, but this time they were willing to work overtime, the male god and goddess were together! And their company finally had a Boss Lady!
Qiao Zixin snuggled up in Xu Zifan’s arms and took a photo, and this time Xu Zifan cooperatively leaned against her, head-to-head, smiling. The same fireworks as the background, the same as the New Year’s Eve before, Qiao Zixin’s text was also the same: In the new year, we need to go further.
Before netizens could guess anything this time, Xu Zifan forwarded her Weibo post.
[Xu Zifan: We are in love. //Qiao Zixin: in the new year, we need to go further. @Xu Zifan]
On New Year’s Eve, Weibo was paralyzed for more than ten minutes because of their self-exposing love affair. After returning to normal, fans immediately blasted their microblogs.
[Butterfly Orchid: The male god and goddess is finally together! Ah, happy New year! Happy forever! You must be happy for the rest of your life!]
[Mo Mo: Oh, my God, I believe in love again! You are finally together, my two favorite people, must be together forever!]
[Happy New year: Xu Zifan is still the same ‘Xu Zifan’, who announces a relationship while also promoting the new film in passing?! Hahaha I’m eating up this advertisement. I’ll watch it twice, thrice! A bag full of tickets! Just to see the sweet love of Zixin’s fan!]
[Heart Lotus Heart: Male god, I’m afraid that you’re not a fake bully, you are actually a very scheming boy! I have seen through your deep plans! Please love my goddess for a lifetime, you must get married as soon as possible!]
[Eat Dog Food: Get married! Get married! Get married!]
The box office of ‘We Are in Love’ was completely blown up by their love. Everyone can see their love story in the movie, and even wanted to fall in love after watching the movie.
Xu Zifan is still ‘the Xu Zifan’. Everything is arranged at the right time. No matter what others think, she is always following his pace and moving towards a happy ending step by step.
He and Qiao Zixin officially established a relationship, and many people blessed them and asked them when they would get married, but they didn’t answer. Then, after the release of the sci-fi blockbuster, it grossed 5.6 billion yuan at the global box office and won the best sci-fi film award, best actor, best actress and best director at this year’s most authoritative film festival. Being the biggest winner at the award ceremony.
When Xu Zifan took the stage to receive the award, he directly took out the transfer of all his property and proposed to Qiao Zixin. Putting on a ring for Qiao Zixin in front of a world-wide audience. Many people say that he was crazy, that he has earned so much money, that he has given all his wealth to a single woman, but he just proposed and has yet to marry. It would be foolish for Qiao Zixin to dump him. But when the words came out, they were ridiculed. They probably haven’t learned that Xu Zifan is a face-slapping demon? President Xu has never done anything in vain. The fact that a man has proposed marriage with all his wealth shows that he has confidence. The only thing that can represent this is that he is super confident and does not need keep it himself.
The two held a wedding of the century. Xu Zifan didn’t understand romance, but he knows how to ask online for help. The wedding is very grand and romantic, there was also all kinds of unforgettable anniversaries after their marriage, Qiao Zixin was very happy.
After marriage, she can shoot a movie anytime she wants to, and live a leisurely life if she doesn’t want to. She learned to cook, to arrange flowers, to dance, and to practice the tea ceremony. Life became colorful, and as she had imagined, a warm and reliable family could give her the strength to do whatever she wanted. Her marriage life was very happy and full, and her life had completely become what she dreamed of.
Xu Zifan’s company is also growing, in a decade, it has become the largest company in the entertainment industry. He also became a business mogul, making extraordinary achievements in other industries, also known as business legend. These properties always belonged to Qiao Zixin. Everyone outside knows that, as always, they were inadvertently eating dog food, sweet for a lifetime.
(Tnote: eating dog food = single ‘dogs’ seeing someone else’s public show of affection.)
The exact opposite of them were the people who wanted to harm them and tried to destroy them in the first place. The happier the two were, the more miserable they are; because they would think that those ‘good things’ once belonged to them. Lin Yan couldn’t find a good job to support himself, and he didn’t want to earn less in an ordinary job. In the end, he became a ‘boy-toy’ with a good face. As a result, he cheated on a rich woman that kept him, with a ‘female escort’. The rich woman sent someone to break his legs. He drank heavily and lived in poverty.
Not long after Baiyou came out of rehab, she couldn’t help but relapse. She had no money, so she found a way to live off of Liu Jie. Baiyou is used to trick people, pretending to be good female friends, and Liu Jie forgot the ruthlessness of her tricks that was used on Qiao Zixin after such a long time. So, she relaxed her guard against her. Unexpectedly, she added many ingredients to their drinks and became addicted to dr*gs with her. Liu Jie didn’t want anyone to know that, in order to get Baiyou to buy her dr*gs, she had to pay for Baiyou’s share. In this way, she was on the road to a bottomless pit, with no humanity, worse than a ghost. When they saw the news about Qiao Zixin, they both felt vaguely regretful. If only they hadn’t done so.
When Mother Qiao was exposed with the Qiao’s, it was as if she fell into hell. The family looked at her as if they were looking at the enemy and they didn’t dare to provoke Qiao Zixin; So, they vented all their anger on her. Their relatives have already developed lavish spending habits because of the ‘cash machine’ Qiao Zixin, but now they couldn’t ask to borrow money from Qiao Zixin. Once or twice, every family member borrowed and emptied all of Mother Qiao’s savings. After that, they began to complain about her, saying that her family couldn’t teach their children and that they couldn’t earn money when their reputation was tarnished.
Her husband, who she had waited on for half her life, felt that he had lost all face and had no place to vent, so he began to beat her from time to time. Qiao Zhipeng mocked her when she cried at home. Only then did she know that her own daughter was the only one who cared about her, but she had lost her daughter. The saddest thing is that Qiao Zhipeng was also addicted to gambling, not only losing all their cars and the family house, but also forcing her to earn money for him to spend. Mother Qiao worked hard for more than ten years and finally couldn’t bear it. She ran to Xu Zifan’s company and cried for Qiao Zixin.
As said at that time, Qiao Zixin didn’t see her again, but only asked someone to send her to the best nursing home in Yanjing. She paid the full fee, and didn’t show up from beginning to end. Mother Qiao finally lived a leisurely life in a nursing home, crying and thinking about what she had done all her life. She hurt her own body when she gave birth to her daughter. She hated her daughter and couldn’t give birth to a son. She never liked Qiao Zixin, but in the end, only Qiao Zixin took care of her. If she had always loved this daughter dearly, would she be able to live the life of a lady in her later years?
Each of them had regrets, but regret is of no use. Qiao Zixin had nothing to do with them.
Xu Zifan has always been a good husband and has never made Qiao Zixin sad in her life. When he was white-haired, Qiao Zixin took him by the hand and said that she was lucky to have met him in this life. If it hadn’t been for him, she wouldn’t know what would have happen to the ‘Qiao Zixin’, that was blackened by the whole network.
On a sunny afternoon, the old Qiao Zixin closed her eyes calmly and didn’t wake up anymore. The day after her death, her family found Xu Zifan lying next to her. At the end of their lives, the Gemini couple went on another hot search list, but this time they didn’t eat dog food, everyone sent them away.
Life is fleeting, as long as it’s cherish, there are no regrets. Xu Zifan came and went in this world, saved Qiao Zixin, guarded her life, and had a happy home because of her.
Between them, they have gained each other– for the rest — of their lives…
