Chapter 1481: Had Been Waiting For This Moment
Huo Yijing never thought it could be for her. She assumed that the girl being proposed to must happen to have the same character, Jing, in her name.
Right then she heard some girls screaming. When she turned back she saw someone coming toward her with a huge bouquet of scarlet roses.
The huge bouquet completely blocked her sight. When the man stopped in front of her, he lowered the roses and unveiled his face.
“Zhannan?”
“Yes, it’s me, Jingjing.”
While he stood right in front of her, a group of people showed up from nowhere. Each of them was holding two candles and walked closer and closer toward them.
Eventually, they placed the candles around them and formed a heart-shaped candlelit circle.
The proposal had officially started. Huo Yijing was stunned. His proposal had caught her completely unprepared.
“Jingjing, please forgive me for proposing to you abruptly under such a circumstance.
“But the only thing I can say is, this is what I have always wanted to do. I’ve been waiting for this moment for so long.
“Jingjing, I have no idea what you are thinking about. But I have to tell you what I am. I hope I can be with you every single day from now on.
“When you are happy, I want you to be happier. When you feel sad, I will wipe your tears.
“If you are tired, you can always rest on my shoulders.
“I hope I can be your shelter and your sky.
“Therefore I’m saying this wholeheartedly: I love you, Jingjing.
“Will you marry me? Will you give me the honor to take care of you for the rest of our lives?”
Jing Zhannan was no longer young. But he had tried his best to make a romantic proposal.
He felt extremely nervous and waited anxiously for her reply.
People were pouring into the square to witness this. Some were saying how romantic he was, and others were urging Huo Yijing to say, “Yes, I do.”
Huo Yijing was completely overwhelmed. But she managed to think it through and finally gave him a serious answer. “I’m sorry, Zhannan. I know you are good to me. But I’m sorry I cannot marry you. Please don’t waste your time on me and go find a better girl for yourself!”
Upon saying so, she turned and ran into the crowd, leaving Jing Zhannan alone.
A romantic proposal had been turned into a joke. There were people laughing at his failure.
Jing Zhannan stood there looking at her disappearing figure and feeling desperate. He knew that he would never win her back.
The ring he had prepared was of no use now.
Then his men came to remove the candles.
A girl walked to him and patted him gently on his shoulder. “Boss, are you ok?”
Jing Zhannan turned and saw the girl, Mo Xiaonnian. She was the newly appointed commander of JS First Squadron, replacing Jun Yan.
They had known each other for a long while and fought several fierce battles together.
Seeing that Mo Xiaonian was concerned for him, Jing Zhannan smiled awkwardly. “Never mind. How stupid I am.”
Then he gave the roses to Mo Xiaonian and said, “Thank you. Take your men back. I need to be alone now.”
Jing Zhannan left. Seeing him being lonely and desperate, Mo Xiaonian felt a sudden punch on her heart.
How come she felt somewhat heartbroken for him?
