2752 Leng Shaoting Proposes

"If so, we'll wait for the news," said a reporter. Since Gu Ning said that, there was no need for them to ask more about it because they wouldn't have an answer.

"No matter what the company is, I promise we'll provide products of quality with reasonable prices. We were just set up this time, so an accident happened. We'll be more careful to protect ourselves from now on," said Gu Ning in the end.

"Miss Gu, we trust you, and we hope that your companies can develop well." The reporters replied.

The news conference was over and Chen Cangyi would deal with the following things, so Gu Ning left and returned to the siheyuan.

As for dinner, they went to eat with the Leng family.

After finishing the meal, they went back to the siheyuan.

The next day, Leng Shaoting returned to their military base.

Afterwards, their lives went back to normal. Gu Ning spent most of her time at school and her company until her birthday.

Her birthday was on the next Saturday. Su Anya, Hao Ran and the others came to the capital, but Gu Ning didn't know. No one told her about it beforehand.

Gu Ning actually forgot her own birthday, so she didn't call her friends over to celebrate it.

Early in the morning on Saturday, Leng Shaoting made an excuse and left. Gu Ning went to her company and Leng Shaoting didn't show up again till 5 pm. He came to pick her up.

However, they weren't going back to the siheyuan, so Gu Ning asked, "Where are we going?"

"To Xiaoyao Mountain Villa," said Leng Shaoting.

"Why?" asked Gu Ning.

"You'll find out later," said Leng Shaoting, but he couldn't tell her.

Because Jing Yunyao and Miao Jingjing planted various flowers in Xiaoyao Mountain Villa, it had a breathtaking view.

Upon entering Xiaoyao Mountain Villa, Gu Ning was amazed by the scene.

In the yard stood a large group of people. The Leng family, the Tang family, and Gu Ning's good friends were all present.

Around them, the house was well-decorated. There was a table, glasses, and a big six tiered cake.

An idea dawned on Gu Ning and she finally remembered that today was her birthday! Her family and friends came to celebrate it for her.

Suddenly, Gu Ning felt like crying and tears rolled down her cheeks.

They all came just for her birthday.

As soon as Gu Ning got out of the car, she ran towards them and greeted them one by one.

"Grandpa, Grandpa Leng, mom, dad, uncle, aunt..."

All of the Tang family were present, except for Tang Jiayang who was abroad and Cao Ruihua who was busy with work. Even the pregnant Cao Wenxin came.

Most of Leng Shaoting's comrades joined them too.

They congratulated Gu Ning on her birthday.

"Thank you, thank you so much." Gu Ning thanked them, feeling extremely touched. At the same time, she felt that it was a little strange that they held such a grand party just for her birthday, but she didn't think much about it.

After calming down a little, Gu Ning joined them and they had fun.

She couldn't just chat with her family, she also needed to treat her friends.

"Why did you come without telling me?" asked Gu Ning. She then realized that it had to be Leng Shaoting's idea.

Hearing that, Mu Ke said, "Shaoting came to see me and we talked about your birthday party. He asked me to ask everyone to come, but I couldn't let you know. We kept it a secret in order to surprise you. What do you think?"

"Of course I'm surprised, but it's just a birthday. There is no need to hold such a big party," said Gu Ning.

Gu Ning liked it, but felt it wasn't necessary to bother her family and friends.

"I think it's great. It's your birthday and we ought to celebrate it together. Didn't you join my birthday party before? All the guests are my parents' business partners. It's not a birthday party at all," said Su Anya. She disliked her own birthday party.

"Your birthday party is actually a business event," said Chu Peihan. She didn't like it either, because it wasn't fun.

Gu Ning thought it was just a birthday party, but there was a bigger surprise.

Suddenly, soft music rang out in the yard. Leng Shaoting, who was wearing casual clothing, had changed into his military uniform. He was holding a large bouquet of red roses in his hands as he walked towards Gu Ning.

When he came out, Gu Ning had her back towards him, so she didn't see it. Chu Peihan saw it before her and exclaimed. "Oh my!"

The moment she shouted out, Chu Peihan realized that she shouldn't do that and felt embarrassed.

Luckily, no one paid attention to her. After hearing her shout, they subconsciously looked in the same direction as Chu Peihan, then they saw Leng Shaoting, who was in his military uniform, holding flowers and walking towards Gu Ning.

Without delay, they walked forward to surround them with broad smiles.

Leng Shaoting had never been so romantic before, which made Gu Ning feel nervous.

She stood up, staring at Leng Shaoting.

In front of Gu Ning, Leng Shaoting said, completely focusing on Gu Ning, "Ningning, happy birthday!"

"I'm not good at sweet-nothings. I'm not talkative either, but I hope we can live a romantic life together in the future. I'll try to do better. Ever since you agreed to be my girlfriend, I made up my mind to spend the rest of my life with you. Although I called you my fiancée, I hadn't proposed to you. We're not formally engaged. It's not right. So now, I formally propose to you. Whatever you want, whatever I have, it's all yours. Gu Ning, will you marry me?" Once Leng Shaoting finished, he knelt down before Gu Ning, handing her the flowers.

When Leng Shaoting asked her to marry him, Gu Ning was struck dumb. She thought he was only going to celebrate her birthday, but unexpectedly he proposed to her!

It was not only Gu Ning, many of the others were also surprised. Only the Leng family and the Tang family knew that he was going to propose. Leng Shaoting's comrades and Gu Ning's friends thought it was just a birthday party.

Leng Shaoting didn't tell them because he was afraid that they might not be able to keep it a secret. If they told Gu Ning, it would ruin the surprise.
