Chapter 639
Originally, Ye Xingguang also found the deep blue diamond ring quite appealing. However, upon hearing the guests’ comments and looking at the black diamond on her ring finger, surrounded by hundreds of small, colorless diamonds, its beauty was enhanced on her slender and fair fingers.
Indeed, everything needs someone to sing its praises. It was being praised to the point where she found it beautiful, no matter how she looked at it. Emperor’s color, huh? This girl didn’t want to be a queen. Why was it that people kept saying she was destined to be a female emperor and even the ring bestowed upon her held the color of an emperor?noveldrama
Noticing the man still kneeling before her, Ye Xingguang felt embarrassed and tugged at him, “Get up.”
Why was he still kneeling?
Ye Junqing said, “I didn’t ask if you were willing, but I want you to respond with a kiss. If you kiss my forehead, it means you are willing to endure my domineering attitude, if not, I will keep waiting like this.”
“Who wants to endure your domineering attitude? If you don’t get up, then keep kneeling.” Ye Xingguang acted arrogantly, but as soon as she said this, she bent down, aiming for the man’s devilishly handsome face, and planted a fierce kiss. Her face reddened.
...
Below the stage, there were shouts and cheers.
“K…I…S…S…”
“K…I…S…S…”
“K…I…S…S…”
Hearing this, Ye Xingguang felt even more embarrassed, “Why aren’t you getting up? Get up quickly.”
Ye Junqing gracefully stood up, cradling her face in his hands, and planted a long kiss on her lips, lasting a full three minutes. The timing was perfect, as the orchestra, arranged by the wise old Mrs. Shen, ended on the last note. Many young girls in the audience couldn’t help but blush and their hearts beat faster, not to mention the people involved.
Ye Xingguang’s face flushed so deeply she could have easily found a crack in the ground to hide in. She wasn’t too extravagant, so having so many people watching made her uncomfortable. She preferred a more romantic setting with fewer people around when being proposed to, but with everyone’s eyes on her now, she felt nervous.
At the scene, Yi Yujian was probably the happiest.
Earlier, seeing her husband witnessing the proposal of Harry Perry and Xia Yanyan on stage, and Xia Yanyan trying to steal the limelight, she felt furious. But now, seeing her younger brother and sister-in-law taking over the spotlight completely from Xia Yanyan and Harry Perry, she finally swallowed her long pent-up anger.
However, Yi Yujian wasn’t content.
After Ye Shiting whispered something to her, a smile spread across Yi Yujian’s face and she nodded in agreement.
Once the orchestra took their leave, Yi Yujian went on stage, took the microphone from the host, and stopped the about-to-leave Ye Xingguang and Ye Junqing: “Want to leave just like that? Little brother, taking advantage of your brother’s presidential inauguration dinner to propose without having to worry about the venue or orchestra, don’t you think it’s too easy? I don’t think it’s fair. I’d like to punish you both by asking you to sing a duet. What do you think, dear guests?”
“Good!” Tang Zhou was the first to applaud.
“Good!”
“Good!”
“Good!”
“…”
Ye Xingguang felt awkward, “Sister-in-law, what should we sing?”
“Since little brother picked the song, then I’ll choose one too. I’m punishing you to sing a duet of ‘Today, you have to Marry Me’. What do the guests think?”
Xia Yanyan clenched her hand around her wine glass as she toasted with others. Her fingers were so tense she could hardly control them. She hated copycat proposals the most. Being an adopted daughter of fishermen from Ye Island and the illegitimate daughter of the Bai family, and that man Ye Junqing, always fearing to lose, was mad!
However, at this moment, a foreign diplomat from Country S who came to offer congratulations approached Song Chuanqi with a cup of wine in his hand. His voice was excited and respectful, “Sir, I didn’t expect to meet you here.”
