Mingmei came to Zhang Wei's office.
"Can I come in?" Mingmei asked.
"Please" said Zhang Wei.
"So, finally you are back, how have you been?" he asked.
"I'm all good... how is everything here?" she asked.
"The way it always is, although very specifically, everyone missed you a lot" he said.
"Well, that I know, as Yaya was crying her heart out when we met!" she said.
"I heard of the incident during the shoot, how are the things between you and the former actress?" he asked.
"it's all in control now. Lie and Yifeng managed it quite efficiently" she said.
"Sound ok… unfortunately, I was out of the town, and since you were busy, I couldn't reach out to you" he said.
"it's ok, Zixin was still there to help me out" she said.
"Saying of which, I would like to share something with you…" he said.
"Sure, I'm all ears" she said.
"Not now, maybe tonight. If you are free…" he said.
"Tonight, I'll be having dinner and a small celebration with Yaya and Yifeng" she said.
"Then probably tomorrow?" he asked.
"Ok, deal!" she said.
"Now, should we talk about work then?" she asked.
"Well, in that case, as you know, there's a premiere party ahead for your new series, we are officially taking the event in our hands" he said.
"So, I'm again gonna be the one to run back and forth!" she said.
"Maybe, may not be!" he said.
"I'll get into the details then" she said.
"No need to rush! Things are more or less done with primary work; all you need to do for now is go through it and give it a quick check!" he said.
"I guess, Yaya has done her job well in my absence..." she said.
"that's the reason she actually cried her heart out" he said.
"So, you already gave her a hard time, I guess!" she said.
"No, I just gave her responsibility in your absence" he said.
"Ok, I'll get going then! Good day!" she left.
It was evening, Mingmei and Yaya left with Yifeng. They stopped by a restaurant to have dinner.
The menu was served along with the drinks.
"Cheers! To my friend for her success!" said Yaya.
"Oh, Meimei, I'm really so happy for you! You are really so lucky!" said Yaya.
"Indeed, she is. She's been living the life of her dream… She met her idol and ended up being in a relationship with him, launched her book, and now started her acting career!" he said.
"Thank you, guys... I'd also like to raise a toast for you two. This one's for Yaya, for handling the work so efficiently that I was able to completely focus on my acting… thank you so much Yaya…," said Mingmei.
And she hugged her.
"This one's for you Xiaofeng, for always being there for me, supporting me, for being such a good friend, that I never felt I'm away from home… thank you so much," said Mingmei.
She hugged him.
They drank and had dinner and left. Yifeng first dropped Mingmei at her house and then went further to drop Yaya. He stopped the car outside her house. By that time, she was drunk and slept in the car. He was about to wake her up, when suddenly kind of different feeling struck his mind. It wasn't the same friendly feeling but something different. It was like he was noticing her charm for the very first time and wanted to keep looking at her while she was sleeping peacefully.
Meanwhile, Yaya opened her eyes, and was trying to lose the seatbelt, but she couldn't as she could barely open her eyes. So, in order to help her, he went close to her, when suddenly she opened her eyes slightly and they saw in each other's eyes.
He was fascinated with her charming eyes and cute facial gestures. She was blushing and his heartbeat was fast. He immediately tried to move away, but she grabbed him, and they shared a kiss. After which he dropped her in the house and left.
Next day, Mingmei and Zhang Wei went for lunch together, where she was surprised to see Zixin along.
"Long time no see… How are you?" asked Zixin.
"I'm good, and where have you been? How come you are here?" asked Mingmei.
Zixin smiled. Mingmei was confused.
"This is why we are meeting here today," said Zhang Wei.
"And which is what exactly?" asked Mingmei.
"I and Zixin are planning to get married soon" he took Zixin's hand in hand.
"Are you guys like serious? Oh my god, that's just awesome news! I mean, Congratulations! I'm so happy for you!" said Mingmei.
"Thank you so much Meimei" they both said.
"Does anyone else know? Like Mrs. He, Lie, or anybody else?" Mingmei asked.
"Well, you are the first. We both wanted to tell you before anyone else could know" said Zixin.
"Thanks for the trust... and I'm really so happy for you both," said Mingmei.
"And I hope, you take the responsibility of the entire wedding event planning, ones approved by mother" he said.
"Noted boss! I sure will!" said Mingmei.
They had lunch and left. Mingmei had her hands fully packed in work. The day of the premiere was nearing, and there was a lot of work going on. Mingmei was working, her phone rang,
"My dear Emily, what are you doing?" said Lie.
"Just busy doing work stuff. You sound romantic" she said.
"Well, I am actually. Since the shoot has wrapped up, we haven't spent much time together" he said.
"So, is someone missing me…?" she smiled.
"Hmm, let's meet tonight…" he said.
"Tonight, is little hard…" she said.
"How about tomorrow?" he asked.
"Tomorrow may be also…" she smiled.
"What about the day after tomorrow?" he asked.
"Let me think…" she said.
"Now, I'm not waiting anymore, I'm picking you up in the evening… I can't wait to see you" he said.
"Today is just fine. I'll wait for you then" she said.
Later in the evening, as she came out of the office, Assistant Han was waiting for her.
"Good evening, Ma'am" he said.
"Assistant Han why are you here?" she asked.
"Mr. Wang asked me to pick you from the office, he is caught in some stuff, it'll take time. So, let me escort you to him" he said.
"Ok..." she left with Assistant Han.
The car stopped; she got down. She was kind of confused to see the car stopped by the park. She felt it little strange as there was not a single person in the park. She heard a sound,
"Meimei… I've been waiting for you…," said Lie.
She went in further. And suddenly the entire park was filled with light. As she stood there, a no. of small bunnies came and surrounded her. She was so smitten to see the little cuties around. She again heard,
"Do you know, this is the place where I first saw you… dancing, jumping with full energy and charms like a small kid"" said Lie.
And immediately so many soap bubbles started floating around her.
"Here, I'm right here!" said Lie.
As soon as she turned around, she saw a huge box wrapped with the rope kept there.
There weas a path made of rose petals for her to walk on.
"It's been a long time since I wanted to say you these," said Lie.
She walked further towards the box and stopped in front of it.
"don't you wanna know what's in there? Go ahead and open it," said Lie.
The moment she pulled the rope, numerous balloons came out of the box, and as the balloons flew away, she was shocked to what's left! It was Wang Lie standing in there, holding a rose in his hand. He took a step towards her, took her hand in hand,
"Meimei, I've been wanting to say this from a long time ever since we met. Once you said, we need to know each other's world, like everything, before we could actually be together. Today, here I'm, standing right in front of you, want you to know, no matter what the world says, no matter you are good, no matter you are bad, I still want to be with you…" he said.
She was standing all quite. When he went on his knees, took a ring in his hand, and raised in front of her,
"Ms. Zheng Mingmei, I, Wang Lie, wants to marry you, and want to spent rest of my life with you. I wanna see the morning sunrise and the evening sunset with you every day.
Will you marry me and enlighten my world?" he said.
She was standing there speechless, and suddenly started crying. Lie got up, took her hands in his hands,
"Are you alright? Did I say something wrong?" He got tense.
"I feel this like a dream… I'm just afraid, that I'll wakeup and my dream will fade away…Wang Lie, my idol, my star, is standing right in front of me and proposing me to marriage… my entire life I've been feeling like a bird sitting in the nest and watching the star from afar. This all suddenly feels like the star has fallen in the birds nest…" she said.
"My dear Meimei, you are not any bird... you are special... the birds efforts to reach the star are what made it special... and it's the reason why the star fell in the birds nest... question remains is, will the bird keep it, cherish it, love it forever..." he said.
Hearing his words, she raised her hand in front of him,
"I will…" she said.
Saying so, he took the ring and put it on her finger, and they kissed each other, while the fireworks started behind.
