Just as he was turning to leave, the doorbell rang again. This happened several more tis. Huang Xiaojue had almost stord downstairs to confront the culprit when the noise finally ceased.
With the interruption, any romantic mood was dispelled. Her face flushed crimson as she lowered her head. "Xiaojue, it’s late. Be careful on your way back."
Huang Xiaojue gently embraced her, whispering, "Xixi, we must get married as soon as possible after the New Year. I can’t wait any longer..."
Her face burned, and she nodded.
He was overjoyed, his expression incredibly tender. "Xixi, did you agree? Did you accept my proposal?"
Her voice grew even quieter. "But I haven’t even seen a ring..."
"There is, there is, there definitely is one! I prepared the ring a long ti ago. It’s just that things happened so suddenly today, I forgot to bring it. Don’t worry, I’ll bring it tomorrow..."
Her heartbeat quickened. Why was he in such a hurry?
His confidence soared, his eyes gleaming with fervor. "Xixi, you can’t go back on your promise now. Wait for after work tomorrow evening."
"But... don’t you have plans tomorrow evening?"
"Nothing is more important than our marriage. So it’s settled. I’ll pick you up after work tomorrow evening."
Her white teeth gently bit her lip as she agreed, her voice almost inaudible.
"Xixi, see you tomorrow."
"Be careful on your way."
He held her tightly one last ti before letting go. "I’ll call you when I get ho."
Quite a while after Huang Xiaojue left, she closed all the doors and windows. Her face was still burning, and her heart was still pounding. She took a shower, lay in bed, and pulled the covers over herself. Then, suddenly, she started giggling.
She was in an extraordinarily good mood. She picked up her phone and, quite uncharacteristically, sent a ssage, "HA, soone proposed to ! Congratulate ."
After a while, a reply ca, "Which clueless twit proposed? Is he blind as a bat?"
"HA, he’s my first love, and he treats exceptionally well. He’s even preparing a surprise candlelight dinner for tomorrow night. HA, I’m so looking forward to the engagent ring..."
"You sound disgustingly smitten."
Yan Xixi was in a good mood, so she didn’t bother arguing with him. "My mother, before she died, left a wish that she especially hoped I would marry him. I think my mother will finally be able to rest in peace in the afterlife..."
"Is it that ’Mr. Perfect’ of yours? Are you sure it was your mother who wanted you to marry him, or is it you who wants to marry him?"
"Of course, it’s my wish too. I love him very much. And besides, with my mother’s dying wish, I absolutely have to marry him."
Absolutely must! What in this world is an ’absolutely must’?
"Miss, how many people have you been in love with?"
"I have only been in love with him."
"And you’re sure he’s so worthy of your affection?"
"Of course. He’s a good, trustworthy man. He’s responsible and sincere, and he’s the person who treats best in this world. None of the n I know can compare to him..."
A cold sneer.
"How many n have you even known? Miss, don’t you think that’s a rather sweeping statent?"
She was still full of excitent. That strange guy just loved to argue for the sake of it.
"Oh, by the way, rember that oafish, portly guy? He ca looking for trouble with today. I was terrified..."
"He threatened you?"
"Yeah! He actually said I committed fraud with the contract signing and threatened to sue for embezzling state assets! My god! That contract is perfectly legitimate and legal. How on earth could it be embezzlent of state assets?"
"TSK, and you believe him? That’s just a scare tactic. It’s nothing. There’s absolutely nothing wrong with that contract. But, Miss, would you like to help you take care of this for good?"
