Chapter 409 - Proposal (1)
Chapter 409: Proposal (1)
An Qi was originally baking things in the kitchen with An Yue. After baking the first batch of cookies, she let An Yue take it out and then began to bake the second batch.
She thought An Yue would come back to help her out after taking the cookies out, but after waiting for a long time and An Yue still did not come back, An Qi found it a little strange.
After thinking about it and setting the oven to the right heat and time, An Qi walked out from the small kitchen to look for An Yue.
However, as soon as she stepped outside, she heard several boys in the store shouting something.
“Oh my God! This is so cool! He drove a helicopter here to propose. He is obviously flaunting his wealth! No way, if I have a chance in the future, I would get a helicopter like this and propose to my future girlfriend too!”
“Dream on. You? Do you think you can get a helicopter like this and propose to someone? Next life, maybe! Do you know how much a helicopter costs? For us, a tycoon like this is unreachable.”
“Bleh, I can just joke about it, can’t I? What’s the big deal? Inside that helicopter, it’s either a horrible old man at the age of 70 or 80 or a rich kid who completely depends on his family to pay his bills. However, since this guy has gone through so much trouble to court Yue Yue, it’s more likely that he is the latter.”
“I thought so too…”
An Qi did not pay attention to what those boys said later, as her attention was completely caught by the previous sentence, ‘Court Yue Yue’.
It was so noisy out there. Was someone courting An Yue? Who was this guy that came out of the blue and wanted to court An Yue? Was it serious or was it just a joke or conspiracy set up by a rich boy?
“Speaking of which, didn’t you say before that Yue Yue and Yichen were dating…And she suddenly found herself another suitor now…”
“Oh, right. How could I forget about that? Yue Yue is obviously dating Yichen. No way, he is not back yet. Someone actually tried to snatch away his girlfriend. I don’t care who this rich boy is, I would not let it happen! Come on, let’s…”
The boys had not finished their words, but An Qi already walked past them and rushed toward the direction where An Yue was standing. The boys were stunned for a moment before they went after her.
But soon, after they saw the face of the person who jumped out of the helicopter, they halted immediately. They stared in disbelief at the man, who now seemed incredibly familiar yet strange to them.
They just stood in place, dumbfounded. They watched Han Yichen walking toward An Yue. And then, they heard him say something that shocked them.
The suffocating silence began to spread silently after Han Yichen asked that question. After a long time, someone among the crowd finally recovered himself.
Proposal! This was a live proposal! After a month of disappearance, Yichen reappeared in front of everyone and proposed to An Yue in front of everyone!
This explosive information exploded in several people’s minds, incinerating the strings in their minds.
As for An Yue, who was being proposed to, she was still in a daze.
She admitted that she had always secretly had a crush on the man in front of her, but because of the low self-esteem and cowardice she had developed since childhood, she did not even dare to hope that he would respond to her feelings one day.
But now, this man was asking her in front of so many people if she was willing to marry him. He was proposing to her!
“I…I…”
“You…don’t want to?” Han Yichen was staring at An Yue, who seemed frightened and was trying to avoid his eyes. His brows furrowed a little and a hint of pain was seen in his eyes.
An Yue’s face became pale instantly and she said anxiously, “No… no. I didn’t say I didn’t want to.”
An Yue became so anxious that her eyes were red. She was afraid that Han Yichen would misunderstand her and hate her because of this.
Looking at An Yue’s worried expression, the agitated look on Han Yichen’s face faded slightly. Even his tone of voice rose slightly as he teasingly said, “So, does that mean you do want to marry me?”
An Yue was a little stunned. Her face, which was pale at first, was now reddened. She lowered her head and did not dare to say anything.
But Han Yichen did not give her a chance to escape. He grabbed her left hand, which she was trying her best to withdraw. Then, he bent his left leg amidst everyone’s shrieks and fell on one knee in front of An Yue, as witnessed by everyone.
At the same time, his other hand quickly pulled out the long-prepared box from his pocket. With a snap, a dazzling diamond ring was revealed inside the box.
“Goodness! That is such a large diamond. I am simply blinded by it now!”
“That’s right. It must be at least ten carats. And look at the color … Gosh, I think I really met a tycoon today!”
The appearance of the diamond ring sparked a discussion among those people around them. Even though An Yue did not know how much did a one-carat diamond ring cost, she knew that this diamond ring in front of her could not possibly be cheap.
But at the moment, she was not in the mood to think about how Han Yichen became so rich all of a sudden and how he could afford such an expensive ring to propose to her. All she could think about now was how she should reply to Han Yichen’s question.
Was he being serious? How did he suddenly fall in love with her and want to propose to her? Could she believe him? Could she say yes?
Hope started to emerge in An Yue’s heart, but she was held back by her lack of confidence.
Han Yichen seemed to have seen through the uneasiness she was feeling. His hand, which was holding her hand slightly tightened, but he did not rush her. He just looked up quietly at her, waiting for her answer.
An Yue looked into Han Yichen’s eyes without saying anything. Until she truly saw it in his eyes that he had the same feelings that she felt for him, she could not help but bite her lip and say in a low voice, “I…I do.”
Those onlookers on the side were silent for a few seconds because of An Yue’s answer. And then it was as if some switch had been triggered, they started to cheer loudly.
Whether it was the people who knew them or those who did not know them, at that moment, everyone was giving the most heartfelt blessings for the couple who was so in love.
Han Yichen lowered his head and concentrated on putting the diamond ring he was holding onto the ring finger of An Yue’s left hand. Then, he stood up from the ground at once. He reached out and hugged the girl in front of him tightly before he kissed her on the lips in a domineering manner.
This was their first kiss. It was so profoundly mesmerizing and beautiful that they were drowned in it.
An Yue opened her eyes and gazed at the handsome face that was close to her. All she could feel was overflowing happiness.
The corners of her lips were slightly crooked. With a touch of determination and the thought that she had nothing to lose, her hands subconsciously gripped the clothes on Han Yichen’s back tightly.
If it was this man, she was willing… She was willing to muster up all her courage to take a chance. She was willing to take a chance that they truly loved each other and that they could be together for the rest of their lives!
