He grew more impatient, peeling away everything that covered her body, and, with his hands clutching her waist, laid her down on the table.

Leaning over to kiss her all over, he whispered in her ear with a deep voice, "Been thinking about it for a long time... how about right here..."

Qianxun then wrapped her legs around his body and her hands, which were embracing his neck, pulled him closer to her side with a smile, "If you can bear to take it inside..."

"I can’t wait any longer..."

The room was filled with romance and the air was thick with the scent of spring.

...

At the press conference on Monday, Ma Gang led all the main creators in attendance, and amidst the controversy and attention this spy drama set in the Republican era, Qianxun, who had just been proposed to and got married, was also present. The hype surrounding her engagement and marriage certificate added even more popularity to both the drama and herself.

Aside from the female lead Xiao Man, Qianxun became the only supporting character whose popularity skyrocketed, with the number of times she was questioned at the press conference almost equal to Xiao Man’s.

Last Saturday, the day after Gu Liancheng’s proposal, the two of them swiftly obtained their marriage certificate and posted it on Weibo, crowning Qianxun with the title of Mrs. Gu once again.

Even Gu Liancheng, who rarely updates his Weibo, made a long-overdue post, sharing the marriage certificate and rings, captioned: "The spouse column in the family register exists just for you."

This elicited much envy and jealousy amongst numerous fans and netizens.

Of course, media reporters pursued one question, "Qianxun, you’ve been on the trending search list for the past few days, tied together with Gu Liancheng in what some say is promotion for your debut TV drama. What do you want to say about that?"

"It’s just a fortunate coincidence. In order to shoot the drama seriously, I haven’t seen him for over a month, and we hardly chatted. He prepared a surprise for me this time, and I had no prior knowledge. I was afraid Sister Man might have revealed something, but even she didn’t tell me."

Xiao Man chimed in with a laugh to everyone, "If I had known in advance, I wouldn’t have missed such a wonderful proposal."

Qianxun continued, "I couldn’t have possibly gotten back together with him just for hype, and getting a marriage certificate is not a joke. Our true feelings have arrived, so everything happened naturally. Even if I hadn’t taken part in this TV drama, we would still have gotten married. Whether it’s true or not, time will prove everything."

"But what you said about your engagement with Shang Muxue was the same, and in the end it was still called off, wasn’t it?"

"This journalist from X Entertainment, haven’t you read the news? Miss Shang’s verdict is already being executed. Let me ask, if you found out the person you liked has done all sorts of evil, would you still stay with her? If it’s not suitable, then it’s better to break up decisively. Ours is a rekindled old flame, we clearly know what we want and have thought deeply before getting back together."

Although the fact that Gu Liancheng liked Shang Muxue was not true to begin with, at this moment she could only say so.

Many things could not be made public.

"Now that the relationship seems very deep, why did you divorce in the first place?" someone else asked.

At this point, it no longer felt like the press conference for "The Eve of Dawn," but rather a personal press conference for Qianxun.

"Sorry, I choose not to answer."

Some people wanted to ask more, but Xiao Man stepped in to help with a joke, "Everyone seems to be having a great time chatting with Qianxun, huh? Since no one wants to ask me anything, maybe I should just leave?"

"Sister Man is joking, Sister Man, we’ve heard that in this new drama, your image—"

...

The press conference went smoothly overall, with Qianxun’s agent just sweating bullets, worried that she might say something wrong at her first press conference.
