  Although Xia Yanran was excited, she felt unbelievably conflicted as well.

  If he was going to propose to her, should she accept him?

  She hadn’t had the chance to tell him yet. What would be his attitude after he found out that they couldn’t have children in the future?

  Xiao Yi walked in front of Xia Yanran, snapping his fingers and the restaurant manager rushed over. Xiao Yi took the roses from Xia Yanran and passed them to the manager. “Wrap them properly.”


  “Yes, Mr Xiao.”


  Xiao Yi grabbed Xia Yanran’s hand and led her to sit down by a table.

  “You’re more nervous than I am.” He smirked, teasing her.

  Indeed, Xia Yanran’s hands were covered with cold sweat.

  But she smiled at him.

  After he sat down, Xia Yanran opened her mouth. “Xiao Yi……”


  But before she could finish speaking, a pleasant violin melody rang.

  A violinist stood beside the table as she played, while the waiters started to bring exquisite food and red wine to them.

  Xia Yanran naturally couldn’t bring up the secret hidden in her heart in front of others.

  For a woman to have difficulties getting pregnant, it was even an embarrassment and blow to her, not to mention revealing it to her lover.

  Xiao Yi cut up the steak for Xia Yanran, his eyes turning towards her occasionally. Even if they barely talked during the meal, his gaze was always able to make her flush, her heart beating faster.

  After the meal, the waiters brought a fruit salad to them. Xia Yanran thought that he had placed the proposal ring in the salad, so she ate really slowly.

  But, there was nothing in the fruit salad.

  Xiao Yi didn’t miss the confusion flashing in Xia Yanran’s eyes. Ever the gentleman, he stood up and invited her to a dance.

  Xia Yanran placed her slender fingers onto his hand.

  He held her waist, pressing their bodies closely together as he whispered softly by her ear. “You can only dance with me in the future.”


  Xia Yanran froze for a second before she immediately recalled that she had danced with Tang Chao before. She couldn’t help but burst into laughter.

  She had been extremely tense the entire night, so when he saw her finally smile, his eyes turned darker.

  Under the lights, he could see every part of her ears clearly. His Adam’s apple bobbed, unable to stop himself from leaning forward.

  Xia Yanran’s body trembled slightly as she glanced at the violinist, whispering softly, “What are you doing? There are others here!”


  “Treat them as air.”


  Xia Yanran didn’t miss the humor flashing in the violinist’s eyes.

  After the dance, Xiao Yi led Xia Yanran out for a walk at the square downstairs.

  Xia Yanran was confused.

  This was rather different from what she had expected!

  He spent so much effort and thought into this, wasn’t it for him to propose to her?

  However, it was a good like this too, she could tell him her biggest secret.

  Xia Yanran followed Xiao Yi to the square opposite. It was extremely crowded there with many people of all ages.

  The water fountain in the middle of the square shot out pretty streams of water, making everything around it seem romantic and lively.

  “Yanran, wait for me for a while.”


  Xia Yanran gasped, before she could ask what Xiao Yi was going to do, he suddenly turned around and left.

  Xia Yanran pursed her lips tightly as she walked towards the fountain.

  She had only taken a few steps when a familiar voice rang.

  “Yanran.”


  Xia Yanran froze.

  It was Xiao Yi.

  Xia Yanran and the other people at the square all turned towards the giant LED screen on the tall building.

  Commercials of international brands were usually played on the LED screen, but now, it was playing a video of Xiao Yi.

  His expression was stern and serious, his eyes dark as if he wanted to stare straight at her through the screen.

  Xia Yanran heard many people asked, “Who’s Yanran?”


  “Is he going to confess?” “The man on the screen is really handsome and stylish!” “Is he a celebrity? Why haven’t I seen him before?”


  Xia Yanran stared at the man on the large screen blankly, his dark voice ringing in her ears. “We’ve known each other for ten years and had been entangled with each other in that same period. Although we wasted most of that time and weren’t together, but it’s alright. We still have our next ten years and several more. I don’t think I ever confessed to you seriously before, so that’s right

  Let me tell this to you in front of everyone now. Xia Yanran, I love you!”


  Thunderous applause rang all throughout the square, while some were trying to find the person who was being confessed to.

  Only Xia Yanran stood there with red eyes, her hands covering her mouth as she stared at the man on the screen in disbelief.

  He had never been the type to talk about love.

  “You’re already a part of my life and I cannot not have you anymore. I want to be able to see you the first thing in the morning after I wake up everyday, and see you before I close my eyes to sleep as well. I lost my family when I was young and never had a complete family. I desired and was afraid in the past, but because of you, I’m no longer afraid. Yanran, are you willing to give me a home?”


  When he reached the last part of his speech, he seemed to have thought of something, his eyes turning red.

  “Yanran, will you marry me?”


  This didn’t come from the screen. Xia Yanran immediately turned back, only to see the man who left earlier standing not too far behind him. Several people were crowding behind him, as he held onto a bouquet of the ninety nine roses she had received earlier.

  Their eyes met like that.

  Her eyes were filled with tears.

  His eyes were filled with adoration.

  All of the noise and commotion around them seemed to disappear in that one moment. Xia Yanran’s eyes and heart were only filled with that man walking towards her.

  She couldn’t use any words to describe the shock and agitation she felt……

  “Say yes!”


  “Say yes!”


  “Say yes!”


  Cheers sounded continuously in the square.

  Xiao Yi walked in front of Xia Yanran, passing her the bouquet as he knelt down on one knee.

  Xia Yanran’s lashes fluttered crazily. Before he took out the ring, she crouched down and grabbed his hands. “Xiao Yi, I must tell you something. If you can accept it, I’ll say yes.”


  Xiao Yi lifted his hand to wipe the tears by the corner of Xia Yanran’s eyes, his fingers caressing her face. “You foolish girl, what is more important than you saying yes to my proposal?”


  “Do you remember when we went to the Royal Hospital earlier? I did a checkup that day as well, the doctor said……”


  There were many people at the square, so Xia Yanran didn’t dare to raise her volume. On top of the fact that it was extremely noisy around them, Xiao Yi couldn’t hear her carefully. He was about to clarify with her when his phone vibrated.
