Chapter 98 Proposal

She once said she liked him in formal attire, and tonight Duan Jinchi wore her favorite three-piece suit: a black suit, a black piano, and bright light shining on him.

As the piano music began, he became gentle.

Along with the piano music, Duan Jinchi's beautiful singing voice also drifted over.

"My love can only be yours alone. My spirit and soul will always wait at the door of your heart..."

Song Yinxi looked at him quietly.

With the piano added, Duan Jinchi's singing sounded even better tonight than before.

A year ago, she never imagined that she would fall in love with Duan Jinchi!

This guy is really, really bad, and he has a really foul mouth!

His words, "This is my company from now on, and you can't do your homework here anymore," motivated her to work hard and ignited her competitive spirit.

She didn't aim to harmonize with Herun; she only wanted Changqing to become stronger, strong enough that it wouldn't need to depend on anyone, strong enough that no one would ever kick her out of the company again.

Her sense of security comes from herself.

Even if she marries Duan Jinchi in the future, she will still be her own support and source of confidence.

After Duan Jinchi finished singing that song, he picked up the flowers and ring he had hidden, and ran towards her with a smile in his eyes.

In an instant, the tall figure lowered in front of her.

He knelt on one knee, holding up flowers and a ring, his dark eyes gleaming.

Her voice was firm and resonant, "Song Yinxi, will you marry me?"

This time, she wasn't teasing him or making fun of him; just like before at the wedding dress shop, it was his own choice.

"Don't you have anything else to say?" Song Yinxi chuckled.

Please.

Song Yinxi remained silent.

Is this what he was going to say when he proposed?

When other people propose, they give long speeches, but when it comes to him, it's so simple?

"Are you always this aloof during meetings? Don't you have anything to say?" Song Yinxi wasn't going to let him propose so easily.

"Are you just giving me the runaround because there's no audience?"

Duan Jinchi was already nervous, and Song Yinxi's question made him even more nervous, his palms sweating and his heart pounding.

“I wasn’t being perfunctory.” Duan Jinchi gazed at her intently. “Before we pretended to be husband and wife, I never thought I would fall in love with you. After I fell in love with you, I never thought I would have a future with anyone else. All I could think about was my future with you, spending the rest of my life with you, growing old with you, and walking hand in hand with you.”

"Xixi, may I have the honor of becoming your companion on your life's journey?"

Song Yinxi stretched out her hand like a proud little kitten, "Okay, but if you don't do well, I'll abandon you."

Why say such unlucky things at a time like this?

Duan Jinchi put the ring on her finger. "You probably don't have that chance. Someone as evenly matched as me is worthy of standing by your side."

This ring is the same one I used to propose to her at the bridal shop last time.

It's quite pretty.

"What if I end up liking younger, cute boys?"

Duan Jinchi's warm lips landed on the back of her hand, giving it a firm kiss. "I'm sorry, wife, you're probably destined to never be with a cute little puppy in this lifetime!!"

"What a pity," Song Yinxi said, staring at the diamond ring. "How will you make up for my disappointment?"

Duan Jinchi handed her the betrothal gift list, saying, "Use this."

This betrothal gift list is different from the previous one; there are definitely many more things added!

"I also have a prenuptial agreement drafted by a lawyer; you can take a look at it too."

Who brings a dowry list and prenuptial agreement with them when proposing?

They must be here for a fancy meal, right?

She's dressed so beautifully, yet she wants to look at a prenuptial agreement in such a romantic and cozy restaurant?

"Let's eat first, I'm hungry." Song Yinxi casually put the food aside.

"Okay, my fiancée."

Song Yinxi seemed to see Duan Jinchi's "tail" wagging incessantly.

Duan Jinchi took out his phone. "Let's take a picture first."

"what?"

"I sent a message to my parents to tell them that I successfully proposed. Without their interference, my love life is going very smoothly!" Duan Jinchi felt devastated just thinking about how he wasn't there last week.

He absolutely will not allow this to happen again.

Give me your phone.

Duan Jinchi obediently handed her the phone.

"Your photography skills are terrible," Song Yinxi said, disapprovingly.

The two leaned their heads together, and Duan Jinchi stared at the camera, saying, "I don't think we've ever taken a photo together before."

"Because we were pretending to be a couple, and we were secretly married! Nobody knows, would you dare take pictures and post them on social media?" Song Yinxi reminded him with a smile, "Right!"

"Yes! Can you send it now?"

"cannot."

Duan Jinchi's face fell. "Why? I've really succeeded in proposing! Why can't I post it?"

"I'm afraid that if word gets out, it will affect the company."

Duan Jinchi took a deep breath. "Let's take the photos first, and we'll talk about the rest later."

"Okay, get ready..."

The moment Song Yinxi took the photo, Duan Jinchi's lips touched her face.

Snap!

Song Yinxi slapped Duan Jinchi across the face.

Duan Jinchi covered his face, "Why did you hit me?"

"Don't you have any sense of propriety? How can you be so shameless sending such ambiguous photos to your elders?" Song Yinxi lectured him. "You have a thick skin, but I have a thin skin."

She would be too embarrassed to send suggestive photos to her elders!

How embarrassing!

A kiss?

No, no, no!

"I was wrong, I was wrong! I won't kiss you, I won't kiss you—"

Duan Jinchi repeatedly assured her that he would not kiss her before Song Yinxi picked up her phone again to take pictures.

"Be serious."

"Hmm." Duan Jinchi's lips curled up, his eyes looking at the camera. "Wife, is this okay?"

"Your smile looks so fake!" Song Yinxi put down her phone. "How about this, you kneel down."

"Does kneeling down make things less ambiguous?" Duan Jinchi grinned mischievously. "Wife, are you playing this game so elaborately?"

"What are you thinking? I'm not going to step on your crotch with my high heels." Song Yinxi gently pushed him. "Kneel down on one knee and adopt the pose you use when proposing."

Duan Jinchi slowly knelt down on one knee, "Wife, you can step on me if you want."

Dream on!

Song Yinxi placed the hand with the ring in his palm, "Let's take a picture."

Song Yinxi took a few photos, handed him her phone, and said, "Time to eat."

We've actually eaten.

I'm so hungry.

Duan Jinchi sat down and immediately sent photos to his parents to show off.

Without his parents as obstacles, he's had such a smooth journey!!!

"Baby."

"Um?"

"Can I not go home tonight?" Duan Jinchi asked with a suggestive look in his eyes.

"You booked a hotel?" Song Yinxi asked, picking up her glass of red wine.

Duan Jinchi picked up his wine glass and lightly clinked it against hers. "It's settled."

"Since it's already decided, we can't let it go to waste." Song Yinxi nodded slightly.

Tonight I not only got a successful marriage proposal, but I also got to go on a date with my beautiful fiancée. I'm so happy.
