Ji Wan thought Zhou Zechuan was a light in her life. She willingly hid her brilliance and entered into a secret marriage with him for two years, content to be his kept woman. However, she didn'...
Chapter 387 Proposal
The night blurred his usual coldness and the soft light fell on his deep eyes, which were filled with tenderness and concentration that she had never seen before.
He walked towards her step by step and stopped in front of her.
He handed the bouquet of roses that almost covered his figure into her arms.
The rich floral fragrance instantly surrounded her.
Then he knelt on one knee.
The movements are smooth and solemn.
He opened a velvet box.
A diamond ring lay quietly in it.
The main diamond is a rare pink color and is perfectly cut. Under the illumination of the surrounding floor lights, it reflects a dreamy light, making it unique and one-of-a-kind.
Chi Wenyan raised his eyes and looked at her with burning gaze. His voice was low and clear, with a hint of imperceptible nervousness, yet extremely firm.
"Ji Wan, everything in the past is just a prologue. I want to walk the road ahead with you. It's not an agreement, it's not a deal, it's just because I love you. Marry me, okay?"
The petals are still falling.
The name spelled out by the drone still shines.
His eyes were so sincere, like the brightest stars.
Ji Wan's heart was beating like a drum, and a huge sense of happiness mixed with sour emotions surged into his eyes, blurring his vision.
All the anxiety, grievances and waiting that I once felt turned into hot tears at this moment.
She nodded vigorously, her voice choked with sobs, but filled with immense joy and affirmation.
"Okay, I do."
The next morning, the sun had not yet completely dispelled the night mist.
The news about Chi Wenyan's high-profile proposal to Ji Wan has caused a huge wave on the Internet, like a huge rock thrown into a calm lake.
The word "Ji Wan" spelled out by the drone lights, the rain of petals falling from the sky, and the affectionate scene of Chi Wenyan kneeling on one knee with a pink diamond in his hand were recorded by countless witnesses present and absent with their mobile phones and quickly went viral.
Chi Wenyan proposed to Ji Wan.
The real-life version of the domineering CEO novel shines into reality.
Romantic pink diamond of the century.
Related entries have dominated the hot search lists of major platforms with overwhelming force.
Photos and short videos were forwarded crazily.
The rare gentleness and concentration on Chi Wenyan's usually stern face, and the smile on Ji Wan's face that was a mixture of tears and happiness, formed a very impactful picture.
The comment section was completely overwhelmed.
"Fuck, what kind of fairy tale love is this? I'll kowtow to you first."
"Woo woo woo, the way President Chi looks at Ji Wan is so sweet that it's almost drowning me."
"I can stick with this combination of looks for a hundred years. I'm locked in."
"Who said before that they had a marriage agreement? Coming out to get beaten, this is obviously true love, right?"
"This pink diamond is so beautiful and unique. President Chi really put a lot of effort into it."
The noise and blessings on the Internet came like a tide.
In contrast, the atmosphere in the president's office of the Chi Group was so oppressive that it was almost frozen.
Chi Lin sat behind the large desk with an expressionless face, his fingertips sliding across the screen of his tablet.
On the screen, it was the frame where Chi Wenyan knelt on one knee and put the ring on Ji Wan's finger.
The photo was taken very well, with impeccable lighting and angle, perfectly capturing the romance and solemnity of that moment.
Ji Wan lowered his eyes, tears still lingering on his face, but the corners of his mouth curled up in a happy arc. The pink diamond on his ring finger reflected a bright light that stung his eyes.
The light from the screen reflected on his gloomy face, outlining his tight jawline.
The air was filled with low pressure, and even breathing felt heavy.
He slammed the tablet onto the table with a dull thud.
The screen shattered instantly, just like his mood at the moment, shattered into pieces.
"Oh."
A very light sneer escaped from between his teeth, filled with strong resentment and jealousy.
He tugged at his tie irritably, stood up and walked to the French window.
Outside the window is a bustling city scene with heavy traffic and full of vitality.
But all this could not calm the rage in his heart.
Those photos kept replaying in his mind, the way Ji Wan snuggled in Chi Wenyan's arms, the undisguised joy and dependence in her eyes.
The places that should have belonged to him were now occupied by another man.
That man was Chi Wenyan, the person he disdained the most.
My chest feels like it's being blocked by something and it hurts.
He took out his cell phone and dialed a number.
"Tonight, Mei Se Club, old rules."
The person on the other end of the phone seemed to say something.
Chi Lin interrupted impatiently.
"Find a few... who look like hers." He paused, his voice growing even colder. "Just the eyes will do."
After hanging up the phone, he casually threw the phone back on the table and looked out the window again with a dark look in his eyes.
As night falls, the charming club comes.
In the top-floor box, luxurious lights were flickering, and the air was filled with the scent of expensive alcohol and perfume.
Chi Lin sat alone in the middle of the sofa, with only a thin layer of amber whiskey left in the crystal glass in front of him.
Several women dressed coolly and with delicate makeup sat around him cautiously.
They all have a pair of eyes that are either bright or charming. Looking closely, they all have some subtle resemblance to Ji Wan.
This was something the manager had painstakingly found in response to Chi Lin's vague request.
One of the women, who was a little braver, picked up her wine glass and tried to get closer to Chi Lin.
"Mr. Chi, I offer you a toast..."
Before he could finish his words, he was stopped by Chi Lin's cold eyes.
There was no warmth in those eyes, only a deep gloom that seemed to be able to freeze people.
The woman withdrew her hand awkwardly, not daring to move again.
The atmosphere in the box became increasingly awkward and depressing.
Chi Lin raised his head and drank the remaining wine in the glass. The spicy liquid burned his throat, but it could not extinguish the fire in his heart.
He raised his hand and brushed his fingertips across the cheek of the woman closest to him. His movements were frivolous, but his eyes remained cold.
The woman's body trembled almost imperceptibly.
"Drink with me."
His voice was hoarse and commanding.
The women quickly picked up the bottles and filled them up for him attentively.
Chi Lin drank one glass after another, trying to numb his nerves with alcohol.
But the more this happened, the clearer Ji Wan's tearful and smiling face appeared before his eyes.
He slammed the glass to the ground.
The sound of shattering glass was particularly harsh in the silent box.
The women were terrified and silent.
Chi Lin stood up, his tall figure carrying an imposing aura.
He glanced at the women who were trembling slightly with fear, and the irritation and disgust in his eyes almost overflowed.
None of them is her.
None of them was her.
He turned around and left the box without looking back, leaving the room in a mess and a group of women looking at each other in confusion.
Feeling dizzy from the alcohol, Chi Lin walked unsteadily along the expensively carpeted corridor of the club.
The cell phone rang suddenly.
He didn't even look at it and hung up.
The bell rang again persistently.
