My Wife Became a Top Star After I Came Back from Quick Transmigration - Chapter 105

Perhaps it was Lin Mo’s final words—I’ve been working so hard to come home—that warmed Su Qixi’s heart, but they also gave her a heavy and happy sense of responsibility. She couldn’t let Lin Mo lose the bet she had made. She had to make sure that Lin Mo’s decision to stay with her was a choice she would remember with joy and no regret.

So, as she walked behind Lin Mo, she quietly told Bai Jin, “Tell the company to go all out on the design. I want the most romantic and surprising proposal. If the plan is good, the design fee is not an issue.”

Bai Jin nodded. With money, anything could be negotiated! With so many designers at her disposal, it was definitely possible. She lowered her head and began tapping away on her phone, sending messages to the company. In reality, Bai Jin had messaged three different companies. When it came to things like this, it was always best to choose the most effective option. More people naturally meant more options. She sent the requests and the budget to all three and then finally relaxed, following her two love-struck bosses toward the arrivals hall.

As they stepped out, they were met with an even more enthusiastic cheer than before. Bai Jin looked up. A section of the hall was cordoned off, and a hundred or so people stood there, screaming as soon as they saw Lin Mo and Su Qixi emerge.

Since they had heard the noise from inside, Lin Mo and her group weren’t surprised to see fans. In Hai City, celebrities came and went all the time, and most were low-key. Only new celebrities with a lot of hype would attract a crowd at the airport. Seasoned idols no longer allowed their fans to block off the airport on a large scale. Su Qixi’s fans had also moved past that stage. Unless she was traveling for work, they would organize a small group to greet her. For a simple trip home, which was considered private time, a fan greeting was common, but not usually on this scale. Su Qixi was a little surprised by the sudden change.

Bai Jin thought for a moment. It must be because there had been so much news about the bosses and Miss Lin these past two days. If you had to pick a top celebrity this year, no one was hotter than Lin Mo and Su Qixi. In this context, only a hundred people coming to greet them was already very well-controlled. Otherwise, it wouldn’t be surprising to see two or three thousand fans.

But then, in the midst of her own speculation, Bai Jin took a closer look at the fans and blurted out a confused “Huh?”

Su Qixi turned to look at Bai Jin. Bai Jin didn’t say anything.

Before she could ask, Xiong Jingjing waved at them from the arrivals gate. The three of them walked toward her.

Xiong Jingjing was in a good mood. She said cheerily, “Welcome back, Xixi.”

Su Qixi nodded. She looked at the crowd of fans and asked, “Who organized this greeting?”

Xiong Jingjing looked over there as well. There weren’t that many people, just over a hundred. The arrivals hall was spacious, and security had moved them to an area that didn’t disrupt other passengers. It also prevented a large crowd from causing a crush.

Before Su Qixi could get an answer, she saw Su Tiantian—known online as “Soda Cracker”—standing at the very front of the fans.

“Is that Soda Cracker?” Su Qixi said, surprised.

Xiong Jingjing smiled and looked at her. “Yes, that’s Su Tiantian. She was one of your very first fans and has been managing your fan group for years. She always arranges fan greetings for your work trips and helps guide the fans in the group chat, telling them not to bother you during your private time.” Xiong Jingjing couldn’t help but sigh. “If it weren’t for her, your fans wouldn’t be so well-behaved. She’s done an incredible job.”

Bai Jin looked over and added, “And speaking of which, she’s the one who started the Qilin couple fan chat, and she still manages it now.”

Su Qixi nodded. She had always known her fans were well-behaved and rarely caused trouble. She also knew that managing a fan group was not easy, and she owed a lot to people like Xiong Jingjing and these loyal fans who guided the community, making her fans known for their rationality in the industry.

Su Qixi was about to say something when she heard Bai Jin say, “But a lot of your biggest fans are here today, aren’t they?”

Xiong Jingjing glanced at her and chuckled. “You have a sharp eye.”

Su Qixi was taken aback. She took a closer look at her biggest fans and indeed saw several of the ones Xiong Jingjing had told her about standing in the front row. Xiong Jingjing had been in contact with these fans, sending them gifts during the holidays. In return, the fans would also send gifts and help with gift transfers from the rest of the fanbase. Because of the large number of fans, they would often pool their money to buy expensive gifts and send them to Xiong Jingjing through these lead fans, who would then receive their share. Because the gifts were sent with so much heart, Su Qixi had a dedicated room for them.

Soda Cracker was a special case. Because her last name was also Su, and she had been the first to create a fan page for the couple, Su Qixi had a strong impression of her. When she heard Bai Jin say that several of her big fans were here, Su Qixi was confused. She asked Xiong Jingjing, “Is it a special day today?”

Xiong Jingjing said, “Didn’t the hot search say you’re getting engaged? They’re probably here to wish you well. Look, Soda Cracker has a box in her hand!”

Su Qixi was surprised. So soon? I just landed! She looked at Lin Mo and said, “I’ll go over and talk to them. These are fans who have followed me for a long time. It wouldn’t be right for me to ignore them when they’ve come to give me a gift.”

Lin Mo smiled faintly. “Of course. Go ahead and talk to them.”

The fans were not far away. Su Qixi reached them in just a few steps. The fans stood behind the police line, and when they saw Su Qixi, they all cheered, “Su Su, welcome back! We wish you all the best and a lifetime of happiness!”

Who wouldn’t be happy to receive a blessing from their fans? The blessings from these lead fans also represented the wishes of all her fans.

Su Qixi smiled happily, her eyes curving into crescents. Su Tiantian, standing in the middle, held a small wooden box in her hand. From its appearance, it was clear that the box was not cheap. The redwood looked handcrafted, and it was elegant and exquisite. The detailed patterns on the side and the delicate carvings on the lid showed a great sense of artistry. The vermillion red box was smooth to the touch. It looked like a work of art, with a serene beauty and an antique charm.

Su Tiantian saw that Su Qixi was staring at the box. She smiled and handed it to her. “Xixi, this is a gift.”

Su Qixi was a little confused. “Did you all chip in for this? I’ve already told Sister Xiong to tell you not to buy expensive things. The birthday gifts you all get for me every year are so thoughtful, and I keep all of them. You don’t need to buy me things outside of my birthday.”

Su Tiantian smiled and slipped the box into Su Qixi’s arms. “I know, but we all prepared it this time, so you have to accept it!”

Su Qixi thought about it and smiled as she took the box. “Okay, thank you all.”

No one expected Su Qixi to take a step back and bow deeply. The fans behind the police line all froze, looking at their idol in a daze. Su Qixi stood up straight and said, “When I first debuted, I faced a lot of hardship. There were many negative trending topics. Thank you for not giving up on me and for believing in me, helping me clear my name little by little. I don’t know if I’m a good idol, and I don’t know if I’ve been a good influence on you. But I know that my success is inseparable from you. You are here to represent the fans, and today, I want you to represent all of my fans and accept my most sincere gratitude: Thank you for all these years.”

Perhaps influenced by Lin Mo, Su Qixi had always known that love and protection were not easy. It was true for partners, and it was true for idols and fans. The fans standing there didn’t know who started it, but soon, one person after another began to cry. The crying wasn’t mournful, but the silent tears of over a hundred people were incredibly moving.

Su Tiantian’s eyes were filled with tears. She glanced at the gift in Su Qixi’s arms and reminded her, “Xixi, you have to be happy. This gift is our biggest wish for your happiness.”

Su Qixi was surprised. She had a feeling this gift was different. She slowly opened the lid in front of everyone. The lights from the airport hall shined down into the box, hitting the diamond inside. The light refracted, creating a brilliant, sparkling glow. The diamond, set on a silver ring, was shaped like a heart. The light it emitted was clear and dazzling, filled with love and charm. It lay on a soft black satin ribbon, making the ring look like the only bright morning star in the night sky. It looked like a deep gaze, a symbol of eternal, unchanging love.

Su Qixi held the box, looking at the ring, her mind completely blank. Could this be from the fans? If not, then who?

She asked with a trembling voice, “Did you all get me a ring?”

Su Tiantian wiped away her tears. When she heard this, she couldn’t help but laugh and cry at the same time. “We’re not the ones proposing! Of course, it’s not from us!”

“Yeah!” the crowd behind her chimed in.

As they spoke, the fans parted to the sides, revealing a large bouquet of a thousand brilliant red roses. Su Qixi, who had no idea, was stunned by the sight of the roses. Her eyes turned red, and she had a feeling she knew what was happening, but she still asked, “What does this mean?”

“Does it mean you can marry me?” Lin Mo’s deep voice suddenly landed on Su Qixi’s ear. She had appeared behind Su Qixi at some point. The warm air was filled with her suppressed affection, making Su Qixi tremble.

Without warning, tears streamed down her face, falling onto the tile floor. Su Qixi turned to look at Lin Mo. Their gazes met in the air, clinging to each other.

Lin Mo picked up the ring. “I went to see it before I came back. The first moment I saw it, I knew it was perfect for you.” She took Su Qixi’s hand and, in front of everyone, got down on one knee. She looked up at Su Qixi, who looked down at her. The one standing was crying, and the one kneeling was smiling.

Lin Mo opened her mouth and asked softly, “Xiao Xi, will you marry me?”

The warm winter sun was so brilliant. The halo of light behind Lin Mo seemed to carry a divine glow, making it hard for Su Qixi to see her clearly. Just like that day when Lin Mo walked toward her with an umbrella, her face was unclear, but she had carried her out of that alley.

Falling in love was so easy, but staying together was so difficult. Su Qixi didn’t know what kind of ceremony, what kind of romance and surprise, could be worthy of their unwavering love over the years. What could be worthy of her own heart, which had ached so much from loving her? She was afraid the company’s proposal wouldn’t be good enough, so she racked her brain, watching countless videos, hoping for a spark of inspiration. But nothing seemed quite right.

In this moment, she realized that in this simple airport setting, when Lin Mo knelt down and held the ring out to her, saying, “Will you marry me?” she had brought all of her worries to a perfect conclusion.

She had loved for too long and hurt for too long. This was the perfect way to put an end to it all. From now on, they would be one, sharing both honor and disgrace. She could stand proudly by her side. She could rightfully be sad and angry for her when she was wronged and curse loudly in front of the cameras.

Su Qixi burst out laughing. “I do, Lin Mo!”
