[Chapter 395: Formal Proposal]

With Huo Qingchi and Sheng Zhiwu as the supporting actors, everyone forgot the shock brought by the melting butter.

Ye Qingyue closed her eyes and made a wish in front of the lit candles.

In the dim room, the warm yellow candlelight danced and moved on her face, like a painting.

Huo Qingchi couldn't help but watch in fascination, thinking that he should freeze this scene and record it.

Unfortunately, he didn't bring a camera, so he could only use his eyes and heart to record this scene, not forgetting every detail.

In another ten or twenty years, Ye Qingyue in this scene will be vivid in his mind.

Ye Qingyue made a wish, opened his eyes to blow out the candles, and cut the first piece.

Then Ye Xianghong took the knife and began to divide the cake. The first piece was naturally for the birthday star, and the rest of the people got one piece each.

The soft cake base was paired with slightly sweet cream, supplemented by the crisp sweet and sour taste of the fruit. In the early 1980s, it was a rare delicacy.

The birthday party ended with the cake. The guests were very satisfied. After eating and drinking, they sat in the yard to rest.

While everyone was not paying attention, Huo Qingchi quietly pulled Ye Qingyue's sleeve and took her to the deserted backyard.

"What's wrong?" Ye Qingyue asked curiously.

Huo Qingchi stared at her: "Can't guess?"

There was a little more grievance in his voice, as if he was "accusing" Ye Qingyue of losing the tacit understanding with him.

Ye Qingyue reacted immediately and couldn't help laughing: "You are so brave, there are so many people in the front yard!"

"They have eaten too much and are busy resting. No one will follow us."

Huo Qingchi thought that his grandmother and mother, who usually care about this matter the most, are now chatting with others and probably didn't notice his and Ye Qingyue's actions.

Hearing this, Ye Qingyue looked at him meaningfully and said, "That's good."

Huo Qingchi took out a small square box from his arms, knelt on one leg, opened the small box to Ye Qingyue, revealing a diamond ring, and said, "Qingyue, are you willing to marry me?" He

told Ye Qingyue what he wanted to say on the day of the explosion.

Only this sentence, he didn't find the opportunity to say until today.

When Huo Qingchi said this, his heart was filled with warmth and his eyes were inexplicably sour.

He waited for this day for too long.

He had wanted to say this to Ye Qingyue for a long time.

He and Ye Qingyue had gone through so many twists and turns, and finally came to this day. If he wanted to cry, it was because of being moved, satisfied, and in love.

Facing the man's affectionate gaze, Ye Qingyue did not hesitate at all, and she said, "I do."

Huo Qingchi took off the ring and put it on her ring finger.

At this moment——

"Good job, brother-

in-law!" "Oh! Is this the legendary proposal?"

"This is the first time I've seen such a proposal!"

"Doctor Ye, your ring is so beautiful!"

"May the lovers finally get married!"

On the other side of the doorway that was originally empty, there were cheers one after another, and one head after another popped out from behind the doorway, looking at the young couple in the backyard with a smile and a teasing look.

Huo Qingchi: "..." Aren't these people chatting in the front yard? When did they come!

Seeing Huo Qingchi's somewhat stiff expression, Ye Qingyue turned her face away and tried not to laugh. This man is really stupid for half a year after being hurt once!

He didn't really think he was doing it very secretly, did he?

In fact, Ye Qingyue had noticed a long time ago that every time Huo Qingchi came to see her, many people would cast gossipy eyes on him.

She was not surprised, after all, friends loved to tease young couples the most.

But Huo Qingchi probably didn't realize that he had completely forgotten how eye-catching a handsome guy like him was.

Seeing her man suffer, Ye Qingyue was also distressed -

of course, she would feel distressed after she finished laughing.

"Why don't the two families just take a family portrait together!"

Old Mrs. Huo hugged Li Qi with a blushing face, and discussed with the old sisters: "We are all family anyway!"

Gao Dongqing cast a resentful look at the side, it's great, it's great... It's great for the younger generation to take a family portrait when they get married!

You want to bully this lonely old lady, right?

She doesn't want that!

"Dongqing and Xiaojun, come along too."

Li Qi said, "You are Qingyue's elders. It feels like something is missing without you in the family photo."

"Okay, of course we have to take the family photo together." Gao Dongqing smiled and moved over. You should have said that earlier!

Seeing Gao Dongqing's face turn from cloudy to sunny, Zhong Jun couldn't help but laugh.

Old Mrs. Huo also noticed the changes in the old sisters and said a few words to her with a smile.

The two old ladies resumed their usual bickering mode.

After seeing off the guests, a group of people went to the photo studio opened by Huo Qingchi's friend.

Huo Qingchi had already informed the boss that they were the only ones to be entertained today. The restaurant was quite large, so it was not too crowded for a group of people to enter. However, when they gathered together to take a family photo, due to the angle, they changed several positions to barely fit everyone in.

The scene was in chaos, with people talking from time to time, such as "Hey, who stepped on my foot?", "Don't squeeze me, I can't fit in the photo!", "I can only show my head if I stand between you. I feel like I have accidentally entered the land of giants. I want to change my position!"

After struggling for a while, I finally got into position and heard the photographer shouting: "One, two, three!"

"Click!"

The flash went on and the photographer said: "Alright!"

"I was standing crooked just now, my waist hurts so much!"

"My face is stiff from smiling!"

"Don't mention it, when the flash went on just now, it stung my eyes and I seemed to have a very ugly expression. Can you retake it?"

"No!"

"I don't want to struggle anymore..."

"I also think my expression just now was not good enough."

Everyone was chattering, and some people were not satisfied. They had to retake the family portrait three times.

After the family portrait was taken, everyone was exhausted, but excited. They felt that taking a family portrait was not enough.

They each found someone they had a good relationship with to take photos alone. There were five-person photos, three-person photos, and two-person photos...

The Ye family and the Huo family also took their own family portraits.

The photographer was busy.

Ye Mei found Sheng Zhiwu who had followed her to the door and thought that one more person would not be too much, and it would be better to have more fun, so she called him over to take photos together.

Jiang Shaoyan suddenly said, "Where are my brother-in-law and sister? They haven't taken photos yet! Those who want to take photos should line up at the back!"

When they heard that the young couple had not taken photos yet, everyone pushed Ye Qingyue and Huo Qingchi to the middle and urged them to take two-person photos first.

Ye Qingyue and Huo Qingchi originally wanted to follow the most common photo pose, with Ye Qingyue sitting on a chair and Huo Qingchi standing beside her, holding her shoulders.

But the onlookers didn't want to see such a "simple" picture.

"That pose just now was pretty good!"

Old Mrs. Huo said cheerfully, "The one where our Qingchi took out the small box and knelt in front of Qingyue!"

"Grandma, you..."

Huo Qingchi was already feeling embarrassed because he was being watched by everyone because of his miscalculation.

A lovely grandma is a lovely grandma, and she won't pity her grandson at all.

"I think that's good too!"

The others immediately started to make a noise, asking the two to use the proposal pose just now.

Huo Qingchi couldn't help but look at Ye Qingyue.

Ye Qingyue blinked at him: "Do you hate it?"

"...Of course not."

How could Huo Qingchi hate proposing to Ye Qingyue?

It's just that he was young and precocious, and he was always one step ahead of his peers, so he kept his distance from most people.

There were not many opportunities to blend into the crowd like this and be booed by everyone.

Rather than saying it was annoying, it was more interesting, but he was not used to it.

Facing Ye Qingyue's sparkling eyes, Huo Qingchi immediately understood that she was actually moved.

In this case, a man should fulfill his woman's wishes.

Huo Qingchi immediately put aside other thoughts, knelt on one knee in front of Ye Qingyue, and took out the small square box.

Ye Qingyue put the ring back into the box.

The photographer set up the camera and prepared to shoot.

Sheng Zhiwu suddenly asked: "Where are the lines? The actions are all ready, you have to say the lines, right?"

The bad friend is online.

Huo Qingchi's ears were hot, but when he saw the expectation in Ye Qingyue's eyes, he spoke without hesitation: "Qingyue, are you willing to marry me?"

Ye Qingyue chuckled, but her tone was very serious: "I do."

"Click."

The light flashed.

The man's somewhat shy but firm expression, the woman's smiling profile, and the shining diamond ring - the

happy picture was frozen at this moment.
