It refracts a variety of colors under the interplay of moonlight and lamplight.
What's going on here?
Lan Qingyue covered her mouth with both hands, her eyes wide with astonishment.
This is a ring! Considering Qi Yu's actions, it's not hard to guess what he's planning, but this...
"Qingyue, we've known each other for a year and a half. From the initial misunderstanding to the sweetness we have now, every moment is etched in my heart."
The misunderstanding stemmed from the fact that the two of them woke up in the same room, and Lan Qingyue gave him a million-dollar hush money.
She even came up with a little excuse about amnesia. Whether she really had amnesia or not, he didn't investigate further and just went along with her cleverness.
"Boss, you...you get up first. This beach is so big, people could come at any time. It wouldn't be good if they saw us."
Lan Qingyue's flustered little eyes were like those of a startled deer, looking around frantically, and she didn't forget to pull Qi Yu up.
Qi Yu, a grown man, was stronger than her, and he was so determined. How could her small strength possibly defeat him?
"Qingyue, after a year together, you can feel the changes in me, and I can feel the changes in you too."
Lan Qingyue thought she had hidden her slight flutter of excitement very well, but in his eyes, it was as obvious as sunlight.
"Qingyue, marry me!"
Qi Yu spoke with deep affection, without uttering many flowery words. His usually unfathomable eyes held only Lan Qingyue's image at this moment, nothing else.
Lan Qingyue stared blankly at this impeccable man, lost in thought for a long time. Warm tears welled up in her eyes, spilling from between her fingers and sliding down onto the back of her hand, burning hot.
She never dreamed that one day someone would propose to her in such a romantic setting.
The boundless sea, the evening breeze, the sound of the waves, the twinkling night lights, and the heart-shaped candles—with heaven and earth as witnesses and the moon as an accompaniment, witnessing the arrival of his happiness, Qi Yu had done it for himself; he had made his dream come true.
Even though it wasn't an overly luxurious setting, its simple and romantic atmosphere made her feel warm and cozy.
Despite the romantic scene and the expressions of the two men, Lan Qingyue did not immediately agree.
"Boss, I..."
"Qingyue, listen to me first!" Qi Yu showed no impatience on his face, nor any intention to back down in his eyes.
"I am not Yu Ning!" Lan Qingyue hurriedly clarified, her loud shout startling herself and also shocking Qi Yu.
Qi Yu's gaze remained gentle. As he looked up at her, her small figure became clearer and clearer in his pupils. "Qingyue, I didn't treat you as a substitute for Cheng Yuning. I can tell you apart from her. I've always been able to tell you apart. You are you, and she is her. You are different."
"I...but..." Lan Qingyue stammered, her mind a jumbled mess, unable to make sense of her thoughts, "I'm not from the same world as you!"
"I know!" His firm voice rang out, the scattered light in his dark eyes softening further. He freed one hand to hold Lan Qingyue's hand, his thumb gently stroking the back of her delicate hand. "Qingyue, I know."
You know?
No!
How could you possibly know?
Only she and the system knew about this.
Qi Yu couldn't possibly know.
Current technology is not advanced enough to explain why she returned to this world, even if she did.
With her mind in a complete fog, she didn't have the energy to think about Qi Yu's words.
