Shen Zhilie gazed at her and raised his brows slightly.
Ye Qianqian stared at him and asked, “Are you proposing to me?”
“Yup!” Shen Zhilie sounded very absolute, and his lips were tightly pursed as he spoke slowly with certainty, “This is the last time.”
What he implied was that if Ye Qianqian disagreed, he would never speak of it again in the future. In other words, Shen Zhilie meant to put an end to things with her in this moment. It was either forever or never.
Ye Qianqian clung onto his neck and lifted her head up to kiss his lips before she said, “Then where’s your ring?”
When Shen Zhilie heard this, he finally relaxed his originally tightly pursed lips. His expression seemed much better as he gazed at Ye Qianqian. His lips had curled up into a smile, and he reached out his hand to somewhere above her head.
Ye Qianqian shrank back a little and, subsequently, as if Shen Zhilie were performing magic, he produced a velvet box. Ye Qqianqian’s eyes widened in disbelief.
I merely casually mentioned it, and yet he was already prepared for this?
When Shen Zhilie removed himself from her and got up, the feeling of wholeness was instantly gone. Ye Qianqian felt her entire body tremble gently, and she shrank back after she put her legs down.
Shen Zhilie grabbed hold of her left hand and slipped the ring onto her ring finger before he said, “Well, that’s set then. Come with me to the capital on the weekend.”
It was Wednesday. There were only two days left. However, this was not the point that Ye Qianqian was focused on. Instead, she lifted her hands up and looked at the diamond ring on her finger. It was very beautiful. The diamond was huge, and it blinked as Ye Qianqian waved her hand.
“Do you like it?” Shen Zhilie interlocked his fingers with hers and his gaze, too, landed on her finger.
Ye Qianqian smiled and nodded her head. “I do.”
A smile formed on Shen Zhilie’s face. “There’s one more.” When Shen Zhilie held the box up, much to Ye Qianqian’s surprise, there was man’s ring inside. “Put it on for me.”
Ye Qianqian held the ring up and looked at Shen Zhilie’s hand, which was reached out to her. She slipped the ring onto his ring finger and asked, “When did you get this?”
“Long ago. As long as you gave your consent, I was prepared to bring them out at any time.” Shen Zhilie looked at his hand in satisfaction, and the smile began to widen on his face.
Ye Qianqian suddenly felt like she was quite a sinner.
I’ve turned Shen Zhilie down so many times, and yet he’s always been there for me. But luckily he will still be there. Luckily he didn’t go far away, and luckily he gave me the final opportunity to choose.
Ye Qianqian’s eyes suddenly began to sting, and she got up and hugged Shen Zhilie before she said, “Thank you, Old Shen. Why are you so nice?”
Shen Zhilie returned her hug, and his eyes were gentle as he whispered softly, “You’re worth it.”
It was simple and easily understood. It was rare for Shen Zhilie to say such things, and while Ye Qianqian wanted to laugh, she also felt like crying.
Ye Qianqian embraced him even tighter, and she sobbed softly as she said, “I’m sorry I was so distrustful of you. I thought that everything Fang Tongtong said was true. To think that I never once suspected her. I’m sorry, Old Shen.”
“She told you that we hooked up?” Shen Zhilie pushed her away gently and looked at her with a rather unhappy look on his face.
Ye Qianqian nodded her head. “She told me that her night with you was an accident and that she had let me down. That was why I…”
Shen Zhilie’s face instantly darkened, and he said in a displeased tone, “You actually believed such a thing?”
“I… She grew up with me since we were young. I didn’t think that she would lie to me intentionally about such a thing.”
“Then did you think that I would lie to you when I was with you?” Shen Zhilie asked with a gloomy look on his face.
