Champagne towers were placed around the cake, and colorful balloons floated in the air.
It looked like a meticulously decorated wedding venue.
The protagonist is Chu Lin, who is in the center of the arena.
Under the watchful eyes of all the guests, he knelt on one knee, holding a dazzling diamond ring in his hand, and looked tenderly at Fu Qingruo in front of him, saying affectionately, "Qingruo, I love you deeply. Please give me a chance to be your support for the rest of your life, okay?"
Fu Qingruo was stunned on the spot, seemingly in disbelief.
A long time passed.
Or perhaps it was just a fleeting moment, but she asked softly, "Are you serious?"
"Of course!" Chu Lin said solemnly, turning to look at Fu Yunchen. "I specially prepared a grand proposal ceremony to prove to your family that I like you, sincerely and without any falsehood."
He spoke so sincerely, but his every move clearly touched on Fu Yunchen's sore spots.
This is a different kind of provocation!
Using the pretext of toying with emotions, she put on a nauseatingly fake act to tell Fu Yunchen that his sister was now hers.
Fu Yunchen's face turned as black as ink in an instant, his expression was fierce, and the chill emanating from him was bone-chilling, giving rise to a strong sense of fear from the bottom of one's heart.
It was like an enraged lion, its oppressive aura overwhelming and making those around it almost unable to stand.
Just as everyone was so frightened by the sudden change that they broke out in a cold sweat and didn't dare to even breathe,
A calm, nonchalant voice slowly rang out: "No way, really? He doesn't actually think this kind of way of proposing is romantic or affectionate, does he? Good heavens, does anyone still confess their love in such a disgusting way these days?"
"Confessing your love to someone in public is nothing short of moral blackmail, forcing them to accept it. That's just too shameless!"
"This must be the most awkward confession scene in history!"
"No, no, no, didn't someone use that electronic scrolling screen in front of the building to confess their love a while ago? My god, that's social death. It doesn't make you feel touched, it just makes you so embarrassed that you want to dig a three-bedroom apartment out of your toes."
Not far away, Yi Tianran, Kasha, and Shen Xinyao each delivered sarcastic remarks, thoroughly mocking Chu Lin's confession.
His provocative smile froze instantly.
The guests were stunned, and one of them subconsciously asked, "Don't young people like this anymore?"
Yi Tianran raised an eyebrow. "This isn't some melodramatic romance drama. That kind of trope is outdated. Imagine how embarrassing it would be if someone you don't like confessed their love to you so passionately that it became public knowledge!"
Kaisa crossed her arms and scoffed, "Mutual affection is what makes it romantic; clinging and pestering is just perverted and lewd behavior."
“Confessing to someone you like only requires both of you to be present. Why make it so fancy and public? It seems so fake!” Shen Xinyao innocently stated the truth. “I don’t think this is liking someone; it’s more like a show.”
"And his acting is terrible. I could be more genuine even with my eyes closed." After her merciless sarcasm, Yi Tianran looked at Fu Qingruo in the crowd and advised, "So, sister, do you really want to accept this kind of person's confession? I advise you to cut your losses as soon as possible."
Chu Lin's face was as black and gloomy as if it had been splashed with ink, his eyes were bloodshot, and he was on the verge of exploding.
His eyes were like those of a demon crawling out of hell, filled with intense hatred and resentment, and his murderous intent was ever-present.
At the critical moment, Fu Yunchen stepped forward, shielding Yi Tianran behind him, his eyes as cold and sharp as knives, "You dare to take a step forward and try!"
At this moment, Chu Lin was blinded by anger and was about to take a step towards him.
Just then, Fu Qingruo reached out and grabbed her arm.
She coldly raised her head and looked at Fu Yunchen, "That's enough, Achen, don't go too far."
Fu Yunchen asked expressionlessly, "Are you protecting him?"
“One of you is my younger brother, and the other is someone important to me.” Fu Qingruo’s expression was solemn as she said calmly, “Don’t make things difficult for me.”
These simple words made Chu Lin feel much better.
The rage I felt just moments ago vanished instantly.
He was really stupid; he almost got enraged.
Wasn't Fu Qingruo his target from the very beginning?
His ultimate goal was to please her, make her work for him, and make Fu Yunchen angry, embarrassed, and defeated!
What do other people's opinions matter?
He only needs to capture Fu Qingruo's heart to win completely.
...
The party ended in an awkward situation, and the guests, having just tasted the first juicy gossip, were still feeling uneasy.
It was truly a bloody and exciting spectacle!
After the party ended, Yi Tianran came out and went straight to Fu Qingruo. "Big sister, I have something I want to tell you. Is now a good time?"
Fu Qingruo paused slightly, turned around and glanced at Chu Lin, as if seeking his opinion.
Chu Lin's pride was satisfied, and he immediately put on a charming facade, "It's alright, since she's your friend, I won't stop her."
"Mm." Fu Qingru smiled at him and then went with Yi Tianran to the nearby woods.
“If you’re trying to persuade me to leave Chu Lin, then there’s no need for that.” Before Yi Tianran could speak, Fu Qingruo directly stated her determination.
It seems that love really can change a person.
Especially for those who have never been in a relationship before, once they get deeply involved, many things become unclear.
Yi Tianran didn't try to persuade her further, but instead asked directly, "Do you know that Zhuang Yizhan is missing?"
Fu Qingruo didn't even blink, coldly replying, "Is that so? What does that have to do with me?"
Yi Tianran was stunned for a moment upon hearing this, and then stared at her quietly for a long time.
I saw not a trace of wavering on her face.
After a moment, she spoke slowly in a hoarse voice, "Oh, that's all, I'll be going now."
After saying that, she turned and left, her back view conveying a sense of loneliness and determination.
Fu Qingruo watched her departing figure quietly, then quickly lowered her eyes and walked back towards Chu Lin.
As he watched the woman walk towards him in the night breeze, Chu Lin reached out and turned off the listening device, a satisfied smile appearing on his face.
Although from the beginning, he approached Fu Qingruo with a specific purpose in mind.
But watching her fall deeper and deeper into his arms, and seeing the concessions and changes she made for him, a long-lost warmth actually stirred in his dark and cold heart.
Perhaps spending more time with her and letting her enjoy herself for a couple more days is a good idea.
So in the following days, Chu Lin unusually put in some effort, personally referring to the strategy guide and asking questions before launching a romantic offensive unique to the two of them towards Fu Qingruo.
