May 20th is a day of celebration and May 21st is a holiday.
On May 22, Real Madrid stars returned to their training base Valdebebas to start preparations for the final Spanish King's Cup.
Although Real Madrid's opponent in the King's Cup final is Athletic Bilbao, a not very strong team.
But in the history of the Spanish King's Cup, Bilbao has won the championship even more times than Real Madrid.
Real Madrid has only won the Spanish King's Cup 18 times, while Athletic Bilbao has 23 times.
Therefore, if Real Madrid wants to defeat Athletic Bilbao and win the championship, they still need to prepare. They cannot ignore Athletic Bilbao just because they defeated Barcelona six times, won the championship undefeated in the season, and won their tenth Champions League.
Before the finals began, on May 23, Lu Wenbin celebrated his 22nd birthday.
Lu Wenbin, who was born on May 23, 1990, is now officially 22 years old on May 23, 2012.
Under China's current laws, Lu Wenbin has reached the age to officially get married and obtain a marriage certificate.
You know, Kate is three years older than Lu Wenbin.
Lu Wenbin is 22 years old and Kate is 25 this year. They have been in love for four years.
As Lu Wenbin became more and more famous, Kate's formerly wealthy family became increasingly ordinary in front of Lu Wenbin.
Kate's parents naturally wanted their daughter to marry Lu Wenbin as soon as possible, to tie Lu Wenbin down early, and to prevent Lu Wenbin from becoming too famous and attracting more and more beautiful women to compete with him.
Naturally, Lu Wenbin's parents wanted to have a grandchild as soon as possible, and a mixed-race one at that.
If Lu Wenbin himself had not disagreed, Lu Chongxin and Sun Jiahui would probably have been eager for Lu Wenbin to become a father at the age of 20 so that they could become grandparents.
Therefore, Lu Wenbin’s parents are also urging him.
Both sets of parents were urging him to get married, and Lu Wenbin was overwhelmed and kept making excuses by saying that he was still young.
But now that he has reached the age to get married, Lu Wenbin really can't refuse.
Because Kate occasionally revealed her desire to get married.
For women, not getting married and having children is insecure. Especially when facing a world-class superstar like Lu Wenbin, even if Kate is as beautiful as a flower, she is still worried about the emergence of competitors.
No matter how well-behaved Lu Wenbin is, he cannot completely eliminate Kate's worries.
Therefore, even though Lu Wenbin felt that he was still young, for the sake of An Kate's heart, he was not afraid to get married early.
Anyway, he didn't have any other thoughts, and it would be nice to be able to officially marry Kate and start a family.
Therefore, Lu Wenbin decided to propose to Kate at his 22nd birthday party, in front of his and Kate's parents, as well as many football celebrities who came to attend his birthday dinner.
Of course, no one knew about this arrangement except Lu Wenbin himself, and no one knew that Lu Wenbin would give Kate a surprise on her birthday.
On the afternoon of May 22, Lu Wenbin's parents, Kate's parents, many star friends and their families from Real Madrid and other clubs, as well as Real Madrid executives, agents, 666 Investment Company, private teams, representatives of endorsement partners, and hundreds of other people flocked to the hotel booked by Lu Wenbin to celebrate Lu Wenbin's birthday.
All kinds of luxury cars and celebrities gathered together, and hundreds of reporters were waiting inside and outside the hotel, more than the number of reporters at many pre-match press conferences of the Champions League.
This shows the appeal of Lu Wenbin.
Of course, they didn’t know that tonight’s dinner would make big news, and they thought they were just here to report on Lu Wenbin’s birthday party.
The birthday cake was served, the birthday boy was invited, and birthday songs were sung. The whole birthday dinner was lively and countless people gave birthday wishes to Lu Wenbin.
Singing karaoke, dancing, drinking, when Lu Wenbin and Kate sang a Chinese love song and won the cheers of all the family and friends in the audience, Kate prepared to pull Lu Wenbin off the stage and leave the stage to the invited singer to sing for everyone.
However, Lu Wenbin held Kate's hand and did not let her leave. He also stood in the center of the stage and said with the microphone: "Kate, wait a moment, I have something to say to everyone."
Kate didn't understand what was going on and stood next to Lu Wenbin. Lu Wenbin held the microphone and said "Hello", focusing everyone's attention in the hotel on him.
Then, Lu Wenbin said: "Thank you, my parents, and all the relatives and friends who came to my birthday dinner today. Before I knew it, I was already 22 years old. In China, this is the legal age for marriage."
“Four years ago, I met my girlfriend Kate on a plane from Frankfurt to Beijing…”
Lu Wenbin recounted every detail of how he and Kate met, got to know each other, and fell in love. Everyone had a premonition and listened to Lu Wenbin's description quietly.
Kate held Lu Wenbin's hand and was even trembling with excitement.
Lu Wenbin described his emotional experience with Kate, as well as Kate's support for his life and career. He also praised Kate's own achievements in literary writing and her supervision and management of 666 Investment Company.
Finally, Lu Wenbin said that Kate is the most suitable wife, mother and true love for him.
Then, Lu Wenbin took out a jewelry box from his trouser pocket, knelt on one knee facing Kate, opened the jewelry box, revealing a huge diamond ring, and said to Kate:
"Kate, my beloved girlfriend, today, at my 22nd birthday party, I formally proposed to you in front of you, my parents, and many relatives and friends. I hope you will marry me, so that I can be the partner who accompanies you until old age and spends the rest of your life with you! Are you willing?"
Kate was naturally overjoyed. She first covered her mouth to hide her excitement, then nodded vigorously and said:
"I do!"
With a "Wow..." sound, warm applause and cheers suddenly rang out in the hall, and countless Lu Wenbin's teammates screamed and whistled, congratulating the two.
Lu Wenbin's proposal was successful, and the specific wedding date will naturally be discussed later.
Lu Wenbin happily put the diamond ring on Kate's finger, and then was pulled up by Kate. The two embraced each other affectionately, and there was endless applause in the hotel.
Several nosy teammates ignored Lu Wenbin's warning not to take photos, picked up their phones to take pictures of the scene and uploaded them to social networks, announcing the news that Lu Wenbin proposed to his girlfriend Kate.
Naturally, there are countless media reporters lurking on the social media accounts of these big stars.
As soon as they updated, everyone immediately knew that Lu Wenbin successfully proposed to his girlfriend Kate at the birthday dinner.
At the end of the dinner, reporters stopped at the hotel entrance and interviewed every celebrity who walked out of the hotel, asking for more details.
Lu Wenbin and Kate were naturally the most central figures. As soon as they came out, they were surrounded by all the reporters.
In a good mood, Lu Wenbin openly announced the news of his successful proposal, and Kate was promoted from girlfriend to fiancée.
As long as the wedding date is finalized, the two can officially get married.
That night and the next day, when the King's Cup final was about to begin and Real Madrid had a chance to win the first treble in the club's history, the news that Lu Wenbin proposed to his girlfriend Kate was the first to occupy the front page headlines of major media around the world.
Countless girls who liked Lu Wenbin and regarded him as their dream lover had their dreams shattered and shed tears.
