Chapter 354 - One Of A Kind Proposal

"Hey, stop crying." Suyin extended her fingers to wipe tears from Wang Shi's eyes. ;

He took hold of her wrist, stopping her and then kissing it. "I'm not." Chuckling in emotions, he pulled her close. "Too much you are. You know, you are the best?"

"Of course I'm." she waved her hand to the family, beckoning them to join. "So where's my ring?"

His nose wrinkled, "Um--"

"Exactly, Shishi. Get my daughter-in-law a ring." Liu Jeilan said, joining the couple. Suyin coughed, still unsettled by Madam President's endearment. Wang Huang chuckled, then cleared his throat being stared at by his wife. "What's that for?"

"You sacred the girl, Liu!" a peel of laughter echoed, turning the old lady's cheeks red.

"Oh shut up, Huang." She cupped Suyin's hand in hers. "How long will you feel awkward in front of me? Shall I apologize agai--"

"No, please," Suyin said hurriedly. She sighed, throwing a stern glance at the rest of the family, who were taking pŀėȧsurė in teasing Liu Jeilan. "Stop it, everyone. You are putting me in a difficult situation." she looked back at Liu Jeilan. "Madam President, trust me--"

" Madam President!" Liu Jeilan gasped. "This is not done. No ways. Sweetheart, call me mom." she looked at her right where Suyin's mother was standing, "Your girl is impossible. She's still calling me as if I'm a stranger. Where are those people--" her gaze scanned around, stopping at a man standing away from the family. "Ah, come forward. We can't delay this anymore."

The man came forward, holding a file in his hands, and bowed. He then passed the file to Liu Jeilan, instantly moving aside when Wang Huang towered to look. After a minute, the President couple nodded at each other, satisfied as they passed the file to Suyin's parents.

Wang Shi and Suyin both stood there, confused, both questioning each other. Both shook their head.

"Not your set up?" Wang Shi asked and Suyin shook her head again.

Just then, they felt a tug on their clothes and looked down. Honey flashed his biggest grin and winked. "Credit goes to this genius."

"Now what are you up to?" Wang Shi grumbled. ;

"Something you will thank me for." Honey patted himself on the shoulder, but his mischievous grin gave away nothing. Once the file was done circulating amongst the family from both sides, Honey accepted it and took a gracious walk to the dinner table set for the couple, and laid the file open over it. He stood on the chair to get a height.

When none move, he snapped, "What are you waiting for? Bring them here. We are losing time. Just ten more minutes remaining."

Before Suyin or Wang Shi could say or ask, the family members split into two groups. Suyin's side, and Wang Shi's side. Each pulling their respective 'candidates' to the table.

Zeng, Fei Hong, James, Evan, and Suyin's parents on Suyin side.

Xiu Mei, Feng Jianyu, Yuyu, Lan, Junjie, Jin, Wang Huang and Liu Jeilan. The furry babies choose to be on Wang Shi's side, their tails wagging when Yuyu and Lan gave them a piece of meat. Bribe. ;

"Alright guys, what is happening here?" Wang Shi asked, picking the file from the table.

"Yeah. None of this was in our plan. Shouldn't you be just leaving us alone by now?" Suyin's voice came strained, almost crying. She had made more plans for the night, but these people were ruining it. ;

"Ducky, why are you so eager to kick us out from here? Just what else what have you planned?" Heat crept from Suyin's cheeks that she had to look anywhere but at Honey. The worst, Zeng, James, and Evan, pursed their lips, suppressing their smile. James winked when his eyes met with hers.

Suyin frowned, 'Corrupt mind.'

Feeling a pull on her arm, she looked as Wang Shi asked for her attention. She leaned to read the contents-- with every line, her heart skipped a beat, warmth spreading her entire being. She looked up to meet Honey's gaze, who was smiling from ear to ear. She could swear she saw a sliver of tear in his eyes, which he immediately covered.

Marriage documents. ;

"You--" coherent words failed to form. Suyin spread her arms, "Come here, you naughty one." Honey jumped from the chair, dashing straight into her arms. "You got this prepared for us." Not a question, but a sure statement. Only Honey could come up with such an idea to surprise them.

He nudged his nose in her neck, inhaling her. "When you shared your plan, I came up with my own. Grandma and grandpa helped me. And uncle Juju made last-minute arrangements." he looked up from her arms, taking out a beautiful ring from his pocket. Suyin looked up in gratitude at her father- and mother-in-law, but couldn't catch Junjie'e eyes as he was standing away from the family, in the back.

"Mom," Honey pinched the ring between his finger and thumb, "Will you be my mom?" The question caught her off guard.

Wang Shi looked down at the mother-son duo, frowning next. "Hey, that's my ring!" Honey immediately clutched it in his fist when Wang Shi tried to take it. "Bratty, though I love your plan. Good job. I'm proud of you, but you are not having this ring. Give it back. Suyin, I bought this ring for you. It was in my drawer for months."

"Too bad you never gave her." Yuyu and Lan came forward. Lan stuffed a piggy bank in Wang Shi's hand, "We are buying it for Honey bro." ;

Yuyu stuffed another piggy bank. "Take mine too." She looked at Honey, cheering, "Go ahead, Honey bro. We got you covered. We won't let uncle take it." The girls were proud of their job, certain that the money in the piggy bank was enough to buy anything in the world.

Wang Shi sighed, helpless. Hiding a smile. The kids were just too adorable. Innocent. Especially his son, who not only prepared marriage documents but was now proposing to his mother in the sweetest of ways. The one of a kind proposal where a son was proposing to his mother. And the proposal was- 'Will you be my mom?'

"Mom--" Honey held the ring up.

Tears slipped from Suyin's eyes. It's only natural when something this heart-warming touches you. "I'm already your mom, sweetie."

"Yes. But I want it forever and ever. Seal it with this. I want to see it on your finger."

Suyin's smile pulled wider. She pulled her hand free from a lacy red glove, bringing her hand forward. Honey stopped just at the tip of her middle finger, pondering deeply. He looked back at his grandparents. "Um, which finger?"

Everyone pointed at their own fingers, shouting, "RING FINGER!" ;

The beautiful diamond ring slowly slid upwards, reflecting the bond between a man and a woman-- the only difference this time was it was reflecting the beauty of the relationship between a mother and a son.

"You two," Wang Shi put the piggy banks on the tables, crouched down, and squeezed them two in his arms. "Fine, I'll buy another--"

"No, you are not allowed to take it off." Honey wiggled out of the hug.

Suyin, "I won't. Shishi!"

Wang Shi opened his mouth to retort but thought better of it when he saw there was more than one pair of stern gaze directed at him. Almost everyone was against the idea to take off Honey's ring. ;

His face was picture worthy when he was bullied by everyone. Xiu Mei clapped on his back and opened her palm to him. Above it was a ring. ;

"Surprise surprise!" Jianyu said. "How can you not notice the ring Suyin gave you is a couple's ring? So you see, Suyin had everything planned." ;

"No--" Suyin dismissed taking all the credits. "Everyone helped. From A to Z. Without them, I couldn't be able to do this. Especially when my artistic taste is always questioned."

"Since how long have you been planning this?" Wang Shi asked.

"Since the day I confessed my feelings. I was just waiting for the correct time."

Finally!

He studied the beautiful diamond ring for a second. A wedding band in rose gold with his fingerprint carved on top, his initial underside, and a tiny diamond in middle. The only difference between her and his rings was the absence of diamond in his and the width. Simple and exquisite. Suyin brings her hand forward, happiness beaming in her eyes. He paused, pouting, glaring at Honey's ring on her ring finger.

Suyin chuckled, "I will wear them together, on the same finger. Both are special. Can't differentiate." and he slides the ring up, setting it with Honey's. ;

Amidst the round of applause, Wang Shi caught her mouth with his, and he kissed her softly. ;

"Oh no! We have limited time." Honey sprang up. "Sign the papers before the clock struck twelve. I want you to get married today."

Wang Shi, "Why?"

"Because I don't want to wait a day extra. Just get married!" He nudged them to the table. "C'mon."

And under Honey and everyone's watchful eyes, Suyin and Wang Shi signed the documents, followed by the signature of witnesses. Officially sealed. Validated. Declared man and wife. ;

The government official hand over the marriage certificates prepared in advance and left the family alone. ;

Firework sparks come own the night, come announce the marriage of the couple to the heavens, to the almighty sitting above who had witnessed everything and had endured Suyin, Wang Shi, and Honey's curses.

Wang Huang and Zhao Shu popped open bottles of champagne. "To our kids!" ;

James ordered his team to set the dinner tables for everyone, surprising Suyin. She had asked him to arrange a dinner for her and Wang Shi, but it seems these people made changes in her plan and made it better. Thousand times better. She couldn't ask for a better celebration to get married to her hottie bum.
