Translator: Hcnyee Translations Editor: H
There was a fresh fragrance of flowers at the tip of her nose, and in from of her was a familiar person that she had not seen for a long time.
“I thought…” Murong Qiao’s voice was a little hoa.r.s.e.
She saw Huo Yichen standing in front of her and sniffled uncontrollably.
Huo Yichen’s eyes were as dark as stars, and the fine light in them seemed to be flickering. He looked at her red face and smiled.
He lowered his eyes and focused only on her. “What?”
1 thought you were so busy that you forgot that today is my birthday.
The loneliness that had yet to fade was washed away by the joy in her heart. Murong Qiao placed her fingers in front of her face to hide her loss of composure.
“How could 1 forget?” Huo Yichen was helpless as a faint smile appeared on his lips.
He reached out and ruffled Murong Qiao’s hair. “Happy birthday.”
Murong Qiao was stunned. She subconsciously raised her gaze and looked at Huo Yichen’s expression when he said this.
The light above his head cast a shadow under his eyebrows, making the image reflected in his eyes even clearer. There was only Murong Qiao in his eyes.
Under her feet was a carpet made of pure white petals. The dazzling and beautiful white roses were in their most beautiful bloom.
“You’re the only person I want to love,” Huo Yichen said.
He suddenly opened his heart and said the words deep inside on this special day.
Huo Yichen looked at her. “I’m afraid that you’ll think it’s presumptuous, but I’m even more afraid that if I don’t say it, I’ll go crazy.”
He held the rose in his hand, his palms secretly sweating.
“Actually, 1 never thought that things would reach such a beautiful stage.” Huo Yichen lowered his eyes. “But I’m really greedy. 1 still want to have you in rhe future.”
Ever since his mother pa.s.sed away, he had closed himself in and completely sealed his world.
However, there were footsteps lingering outside his door. However, there was a set of footsteps that lingered outside his door. It wasn’t just pa.s.sing by or seeking someone else. Instead, it was the deliberate press of his doorbell, revealing a wisp of light in the darkness.
Huo Yichen had to admit that Murong Qiao was an anomaly. She was special and the only source of warmth and his lonely bonfire on a cold day.
“Not only this birthday, but for every birthday in the future, I want to occupy the most intimate position beside you.”
Murong Qiao s eyelashes fluttered, and her face turned completely red from Huo Yichen’s few direct words. At the thought that everyone was watching, his earlobes turned red.
He took a deep breath. “I just can’t control myself. My rationality is always ruined when 1 see you.
We’re clearly already lovers, but I still feel that it s not enough. 1 still want to be closer to you.”
Under Murong Qiao’s gaze, Huo Yichen held the bouquet of flowers that he had been preparing for a long time and slowly knelt on one knee.
The gradually rising music around them covered the voices of the crowd, leaving only Huo Yichen’s voice and the ring in his hand.
“Will you marry me?”
The bubble that was blown out seemed to have burst, and the answer in Murong Qiao’s heart came.
She looked down at Huo Yichen, who was kneeling on one knee, and her eyes couldn’t help but turn red.
“Yes,” she whispered back.
Her answer seemed to have triggered a signal, causing the people around her to cheer.
“Blessings! Congratulations!”
“As expected, we still have to depend on you to witness a love between immortals!”
Yang Xin was so excited that her face turned red. Leng Yan had a sincere and blessed smile on her face. An Nuo raised her cell phone to take a photo at the side and recorded a beautiful moment.
Now that the ring had an owner, Murong Qiao was hugged.
“Did I agree a little too easily?” she joked.
Huo Yichen tightened his grip on her. “There’s no room for regret.”
Afraid that Murong Qiao would say something else, Huo Yichen lowered his head and covered her mouth under everyone’s cheers.
When Murong Qiao woke up in bed the next day, she still thought that she was dreaming.
It was only when she felt the existence of the ring on her hand that she suddenly sobered up.
“So it’s true.” She couldn’t help but smile.
Her fingertips rubbed against the cold surface of the ring and felt the edges on it, giving Murong Qiao a real feeling.
A faint smile subconsciously appeared on her lips, but then she retracted it.
Her Big Brothers still did not know about her and Huo Yichen.
Murong Qiao sighed regretfully. She felt that paper could not cover fire. She had to find a chance to explain it clearly.
But the ring…
After staring at it for a long time, she could only reluctantly find a necklace and wear it, hanging it in front of her chest to hide its existence.
Murong Qiao glanced at the time on her phone. Because she had gone to bed too late last night, she slept until 11 a.m.
She glanced at the message on her phone. When she swiped to the column with Zheng Yue, her fingertips paused.
[Qiaoqiao, I want him to pay the price.]
Murong Qiao had a faint premonition that Zheng Yue would make an important move next.
It was a publicly recognized fact that Zheng Yue had been valued by Nan Kang recently.
During the time she returned, her business ability could be said to have soared. She had even taken over many large projects.
“Come with me to a dinner tonight.” Nan Kang was in a good mood. “If nothing goes wrong, the bidding will be settled. ”
Zheng Yue nodded obediently.
Nan Kang was in high spirits during dinner and drank a lot of white wine. He was extremely drunk.
The secretary stayed behind to deal with the follow-up. Zheng Yue brought
Nan Kang back to the company office first.
“The bidding tomorrow…” he muttered with the smell of alcohol.
The dinner tonight was very pleasant, and tomorrow was the day of the official bidding for the piece of land Nan Kang wanted.
He was 90% confident that he would win. He had to win!
He had bet all his wealth on this.
Zheng Yue casually threw him onto the sofa. Seeing that he was already asleep, she couldn’t help but smile. She walked to the computer and opened the bidding doc.u.ment.
The permanent deletion order was executed cleanly.
This was all Nan Kang’s hard work. It was rhe key to his company’s revival.
A happy smile appeared on Zheng Yue’s face. She used this action to vent the hatred she had acc.u.mulated for a long time.
She wanted to destroy all of Nan Kang’s pride.
As for this piece of paper…
Late at night, Murong Qiao suddenly received a call from Zheng Yue.
“Qiaoqiao.” Zheng Yue’s voice sounded surprisingly calm and a little drunk. “Can you come and look for me?”
Murong Qiao raised his eyebrows. From her voice, she could tell that Zheng Yue’s condition did not seem right.
Her intuition told her that Zheng Yue must have done something “good”.
“Okay,” she agreed.
Ever since Zheng Yue said that she would make Nan Kang pay the price, Murong Qiao had been waiting.
Finally, this call came.
Then, when Murong Qiao arrived at Zheng Yue’s house, she saw a drunk Zheng Yue.
“Zheng Yue?” she called out softly.
Murong Qiao squatted down to look at her and saw the redness on Zheng Yue s pale face.
Zheng Yue smiled foolishly. Clearly, she was extremely drunk. “You’re here.”
Her unfocused eyes drifted everywhere and finally landed on Murong Qiao, but they stopped for less than a second before moving away.
“He’s finished.” Zheng Yue smiled happily.
She had drunk a lot at the meal. Now that she was feeling strong, her mind was in a mess. She said whatever came to her mind.
Murong Qiao looked at Zheng Yue in silence and watched her talk nonsense in her drunken state.
“I’ve sacrificed so much. He can forget about living well.”
“My innocence, my child, everything about me! It’s all thanks to him!”
“Without the doc.u.ment, I’ll see how he bid tomorrow. Haha…”
Zheng Yue talked about everything. Sometimes, she was happy, and sometimes, she was sad. Her emotions changed abruptly.
Murong Qiao sat on the sofa and did not say much. Zheng Yue did not feel awkward.
Her gaze was fixed on Zheng Yue as she studied the beautiful makeup on her face and the maturity on her body. Her trimmed face was extremely beautiful and revealed an indescribable fakeness.
Gorgeous and decadent, it was completely different from the innocence she had when she first entered school..
