After Transmigrating into the Main Shou, I Topped the Paranoid Big Shot 82

Chapter 82

Zong Mo had always remembered that Ruan Chi had mentioned marriage once when he was pretending to be bankrupt.
At that time, he had been convinced that he was bankrupt and felt that paying off the debt should be the priority. Marriage could wait until their lives were on the right track and their feelings were deeper.
Later, it was because they were worried about affecting each other’s careers that they had delayed for a while before coming out.
Since Ruan Chi had said he was willing to get married, it must be true. And he hadn’t mentioned it again until now, perhaps he had been waiting for him to consider it.
Just right, it gave him a perfect opportunity to perform!

Now, the two of them could justifiably leave home together and attend various formal occasions.
Because he was about to do something big that concerned his lifelong happiness in secret, Zong Mo had a rare case of insomnia.
When he groggily picked up his phone to check the time in the morning, it was still early. The person beside him had already gone somewhere.
Zong Mo, in his pajamas and slippers, came to the corridor and saw Ruan Chi getting styled in the living room from afar.
He couldn’t wait to go back to his room to change. Instead, he quickly went downstairs and curiously circled Ruan Chi, looking at him from left to right.
Ruan Chi was wearing a dark gray wool suit today, with a matching vest, a white shirt, and a light gray tie. With only white and gray, he looked refined and abstinent, extremely formal.
His black hair was also combed into a side-swept style. If he had a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, he would look even more like a refined scoundrel!
Ruan Chi heard his footsteps, looked over, and the corners of his curved eyes lifted. There was no refinement left, only a scoundrel.

Zong Mo sat down on the side and asked, “Is it necessary to dress so formally for a fan meeting?”
“It’s necessary,” Ruan Chi said, then closed his eyes to have his eye makeup done, cooperating extremely well with the makeup artist.
He could still wander around in his pajamas during the live stream, but now he had picked up his overbearing CEO’s burden again. Tsk tsk, those who didn’t know would think his CEO Ruan was getting married today.
Zong Mo lamented, and went back to his room, taking out the suit he had long stored in his closet.
…Speaking of which, the style and cut of this one was quite similar to the one Ruan Chi was wearing. But his suit was a light khaki color with a vertical stripe design, looking less formal than Ruan Chi’s, more of a casual British style.
He silently changed into the suit he would never touch unless it was for an extremely formal event, then went downstairs with his tie to find Ruan Chi, and also to have his makeup and hair done.
Of course, he wasn’t very good at tying a tie, but he was too lazy to learn. It wasn’t necessary, and it could also let Ruan Chi preview the all-around, fiercest golden canary in history.
Ruan Chi tied his tie for him and asked casually, “Why are you wearing a suit?”
“Aren’t you?” Zong Mo did not answer directly, but looked Ruan Chi up and down again and smiled, “Our clothes today are quite matching.”

The fan meeting venue was decorated almost like a wedding venue. A T-shaped stage over a meter high was in the center of the entire hall. The floor was covered with a red carpet, and both sides were filled with fresh flowers, ribbons, and various desserts. Below was the already packed audience pool.
The two of them, surrounded by security guards, entered the main door and walked onto the red-carpeted T-stage. And at the end, on a large platform, the program team had already set up a long table and seats.
Zong Mo rarely came to such a large occasion with so many people, let alone as the protagonist. Listening to the gasps of the fans below the T-stage, and walking side by side with Ruan Chi on the red carpet that was like walking into a wedding hall, he was so nervous he kept swallowing.
He couldn’t help but put his cold-sweating hand into his pants pocket and touched the small ring box. The thought of what he was planning to do later made him even more nervous.
Ruan Chi reached over, took his other hand, then moved closer to his ear, and whispered in a voice that others couldn’t hear, to comfort him.
To outsiders, it clearly looked like that.
But only Zong Mo knew that what Ruan Chi had said was—”I love you.”
Zong Mo: …
Confessing anytime, anywhere, every moment is quite something.
However, the effect of this “I love you” was indeed quite good. He was immediately not so nervous anymore.
It was a rare sight to see his old acquaintances, Director Yang and Yin Qiao. Zong Mo chatted with them for a few sentences and marveled at Director Yang’s infatuation and long-lasting love.
To be honest, he had always thought that Director Yang was an old lecher. He had never thought that this appearance of his would be as deceptive as his CEO Ruan’s.
On the other hand, Zong Mo also discovered that everyone present, even the host, was not in formal attire, very casual and relaxed. In the relaxed and cheerful atmosphere of talking and laughing, only he and Ruan Chi were as formal as if they were attending an awards ceremony.

The fan meeting first had an interview with the host, then a few simple games arranged by the host, and then a lucky draw for the audience to come up and interact.
Zong Mo rarely met a male fan, and he had a childish look, looking like he had just come of age.
The young man said with a shy face, stuttering, “You guys look even better in person than on TV!”
Zong Mo: …
Although he was a male fan, he clearly wasn’t very straight.
The young man continued, “I’m your CP fan. I’ve liked you since Conquering the Entertainment Industry. This is a photo album I made for you… it’s for you.”
Zong Mo took the solid handmade photo album from the young man and casually flipped through it. Inside were printed screenshots from variety shows and dramas, with cute decorative stickers and colored pen drawings and text, very thoughtful.
Zong Mo said sincerely, “Thank you, I like it very much,” and signed all the various merchandise the young man had handed over.
The young man was still reluctant to leave. Under Zong Mo’s gaze, he finally mustered the courage to say, “I had long guessed that you guys were for real. I never thought you would really go public, so I decided to confess to the person I’ve had a crush on for a long time today…”
Zong Mo was stunned and tried to stop this clearly not-so-straight young man, “Wait, it’s a live stream. Your family will also see it.”
But the young man didn’t care and turned to shout at the audience pool, “XX, I like you!!”
Zong Mo: …
He didn’t hear it very clearly, but it was most likely a boy’s name that the young man had shouted.
After the young man had confessed loudly, he rushed off the stage and hugged a boy of similar age tightly. The people next to them immediately started to cheer and urge them to get married. Even the cameraman who was filming the celebrity guests couldn’t help but be distracted.
The stage quieted down, and Zong Mo heard a light laugh from the person beside him.
Zong Mo also smiled and said, “I never thought I’d be a matchmaker before I even got married.”
Ruan Chi teased, “Matchmaker?”
“Hmm?” Zong Mo was a little confused, then reacted in an instant and said with a blush, “No! It’s a match-man!”

A while later, the stage quieted down. Ruan Chi suddenly stood up, “I’m going to get something.”
Zong Mo nodded and watched him leave. A few minutes later, he still hadn’t come back, but the lights in the hall suddenly went out.
The audience below was in an uproar. A moment later, the lights came back on, but they were only projected onto the empty space of the platform where the guests were, creating a circular stage spotlight.
Everyone’s gaze was naturally attracted by that only light.
Zong Mo also looked over and saw a man with broad shoulders and a narrow waist, wearing a high-end suit, walking slowly over. He smiled slightly at him and called out, “Zong Mo.”
Zong Mo walked over, not knowing what Ruan Chi was up to today.
When he stepped into the bright circle of light, Ruan Chi finally moved, quickly knelt down on one knee, looked up at him, his expression gentle and solemn.
Zong Mo: …
Wait, something’s not right.
Before he could react, Ruan Chi had already held up a small red velvet square box and asked, “Zong Mo, will you marry me?”

Everyone’s gaze was then cast on the only focus—the standing young man. Every part of his handsome face was filled with surprise. He was clearly being proposed to, but his beautiful phoenix eyes were filled with a childish naivety.
The moment Ruan Chi said that, not only did the audience below instantly boil over, but even the other guests were desperately clapping and shouting in the dark.
In the deafening cheers, Zong Mo came back to his senses.
Wait, his carefully prepared proposal was snatched away!
He was still in a daze. The extinguished lights had all been turned on again. Colorful ribbons, petals, and balloons fell from the sky like rain, drowning him and Ruan Chi in a colorful ocean.
Zong Mo: …
Not only was his proposal snatched away, but Ruan Chi’s preparation was much more thorough than his!
Ruan Chi was still kneeling on the ground, waiting for his answer. He spoke again, “Baby, marry me. I love you.”
As he spoke, he gently held his left hand and asked again, “Will you?”
Of course he was willing.
Zong Mo first put aside his annoyance of having his proposal snatched away, nodded with a blush, and said softly, “Mm, I will.”

Only then did Ruan Chi put the ring on his ring finger. The size was just right, the style was elegant, and the clear diamond gave off a dazzling light.
After the ring was on his hand, Zong Mo only then heard a few “wife” calls mixed in with the cheers from below. He suddenly reacted and quickly knelt down on one knee like Ruan Chi, facing him like a mirror.
“No, I should be the one proposing to you!”
Zong Mo took out the ring box from his pocket in a panic and stuttered nervously, “Ruan, Ruan Chi, will you… marry me…?”
The bullet comments, which had been a sea of happy cheers and flowers, became colorful because of Zong Mo’s actions.
【Mo Mo, what’s wrong with you? Why are you so panicked!】
【Wife is so cute, hahahaha】
【So sweet, it’s a two-way love XD】
Ruan Chi was slightly stunned, then smiled, his eyes flowing with a light as dazzling as a diamond.
Ruan Chi stood up, giving Zong Mo the full sense of ritual of a proposal. He took the initiative to extend his left hand and said in a gentle voice, “I will. Please put the ring on me.”
Zong Mo, as he wished, put the ring on his ring finger, but because of his nervousness, he couldn’t stop trembling. Such a simple action took a lot of effort, and a thin layer of sweat appeared on his forehead.
He finally put the ring on and let out a long sigh of relief.
Anyway, he had finally successfully proposed to Ruan Chi—as a peerless good husband!
While Zong Mo was proposing, the bullet comments were still refreshing non-stop.

【So why are they fighting to propose, hahahaha? Is it because they’re rich and willful?】
【Because it’s usually the husband who proposes to the wife?】
【Mo Mo, my good baby, you look so pathetic when you’re pretending to be a husband! ~】
【Wait, I suddenly feel something’s not right. Could I have been shipping them the wrong way [Horror][Horror]】
【Uh, have you guys forgotten? The CP name used to be MoChi. It was changed to Dyeing Vat by CEO Ruan.】
【???】
【Didn’t that person who is suspected to be Mo Mo’s side account in the Super Topic often say that Mo Mo is the husband?】
【!!! I don’t care, my CP can’t be reversed, ahhh】
Ruan Chi held Zong Mo’s arm and helped him stand up. He then took the hand with the ring on it, gently caressed it with his fingertips, and smiled, “We’re wearing different styles of rings. Isn’t it very strange?”
Zong Mo looked at the exquisitely styled diamond ring on his ring finger and asked curiously, “When did you prepare this?”
He had kept it from him so well!
“After the first time I proposed to you, I placed an order for it,” Ruan Chi said. “I modified it a few times in between and only received it a few days ago.”
Zong Mo: …
Not only did it look expensive, but for his CEO Ruan to personally order it, it could only be more expensive.
The first and probably the only time he had proposed in his life, the ring Zong Mo had bought was naturally not cheap. It could buy a small apartment.
Really!

“Now there are two pairs of rings. What should we do?” Zong Mo asked.
“We can wear them in turns. The pair we’re not wearing can be strung into a necklace and worn around the neck.”
Zong Mo nodded. That wasn’t too wasteful!
In just a few short minutes, Zong Mo’s mood and expression had been up and down. Ruan Chi looked at him and couldn’t stop smiling. But he didn’t want to stand in the center of the platform and be watched by everyone anymore, so he pulled him towards the backstage, completely ignoring the crying and wailing fans.
Ruan Chi fumbled with the ring on his ring finger and said, “Why did you propose to me?”
Zong Mo was about to subconsciously say the words to prove he was the husband but swallowed them back and thought for a moment before he spoke, “I’ve considered it…”
Ruan Chi’s next sentence happened to be said at the same time as his, “I was prepared to force the marriage.”
Zong Mo looked at him in confusion.
“Proposing in front of the whole country, you wouldn’t have been able to refuse,” Ruan Chi said.
Zong Mo was silent for a moment.
…So Ruan Chi’s sudden public proposal wasn’t to snatch the husband role?
He had been narrow-minded!
Zong Mo was a little embarrassed and didn’t want to bring up this embarrassing mental journey again. He hugged Ruan Chi, didn’t say much, just used his sense of touch to feel.
