Chapter 637
Reporters had no qualms saturating their stories as long as they attracted traffic, but she not want to be compared with Xia Yanyan. After all, tonight’s news just broke about her mother being the illegitimate daughter of the Bai family. What if reporters smeared her mother’s name tomorrow?
She could tolerate being compared, but her foster mother absolutely shouldn’t be compared by the media to that callous biological mother!
But as the man approached against the light, his towering figure standing before her, all her worries stuttered to a halt. She couldn’t help feeling a sense of palpitation upon meeting his profound gaze. All her previous doubts and worries ceased to matter, as if all of them were outweighed by his tender gaze.
There was silence for three seconds as everyone’s attention fell upon them.
Only Mrs. Shen continued to conduct, and only dozens of symphony orchestra members on the stage continued to play. The melodious and lingering notes intoxicated all the girls’ hearts.
Then, the villainous man’s steps finally halted before the little mermaid.
...
He looked down at her, his eyes brimming with affection.
Just one look was enough to make winds swept through hearts.
Ye Xingguang didn’t dare sustain eye contact with him for too long. Forgetting to continue to play the violin, she nervously asked, “What are you doing?”
“What do you think?”noveldrama
The excited host ran over and placed the microphone in Ye Junqing’s hand. Ye Junqing, holding the microphone, gently articulated his thoughts with his deep, magnetic voice, “Many people say that I accepted you reluctantly because of my brother. Many doubt that I’ve been putting on a show all along. Others even say that you’re not my true love. Now, I am proposing to you on stage, and I presume many are maliciously speculating whether this is another publicity stunt. Regardless, only I know that why I’m here–it’s because I’m afraid of losing you…”
There were no grand declarations or even a hint of romance. He just stated these plain words:
“It was fear of losing you that made me afraid to open up; it was fear of losing you that made me want to push you away; it was fear of losing you that made me say and do ruthless things. Most importantly, it’s because of the fear of losing you that I want to open up my heart and forcibly pull you into my life. It’s also the fear of losing you that leads me to assertively initiate things that may seem domineering. It’s for the fear of losing you that I need you to become the woman on my marriage certificate, rather than the woman on the official posting. So…”
Ye Junqing then bent his knee again, pulled out a diamond ring from his pocket, didn’t bother asking her if she was willing, directly took her hand and put the ring on.
Ye Xingguang: “…”
Then she heard him say an unromantic and domineering piece, “That’s why I don’t want to ask if you’re willing or not. Once the ring is on your finger, you’re stuck with me for life. Do you understand?”
Ye Xingguang almost became unstable with the nervousness brought about by his overbearing proposal. From her higher position, she looked at the man kneeling in front of her, her nose tingling: “How could you do this?”
He responded, “This is just me, this is my temper. The country put you in front of me, so you must be my lifetime companion. Regardless if you’re willing, you have to mentally prepare yourself, as I’m not going to give up. I never will.”
Ye Xingguang bit her lip. Damn it, the man didn’t say a single “Baby, marry me,” yet she didn’t find him annoying at all. In fact, she was wholeheartedly happy. Did that mean she had no self-esteem?
