Be a Good Boy and Marry Me

Chapter 496: Chapter 344: I Won’t Let Go of Your Hand Until You Let Go_3

He is a man who values rituals. When the girl he loves asks for a ring, he can’t give it to her casually.

Hence, he simply picked up Murong Qian and carried her into the living room, placing her on the sofa.

“You… wait a moment.”

Taking a deep breath, the man dropped this line and dashed off into the bathroom. ƒree𝑤ebnσvel.com

Murong Qian: “???”

Thankfully, he returned after a few seconds.

Murong Qian noticed that his hair appeared more stylish – probably had smeared Da Ha’s hair gel, she guessed?

“Oh… childish!”

She laughed and teased him, yet at the same time she was thrilled deep inside.

In the past, when they were together, he was constantly attentive about his image and a sense of ritualistic propriety. This trait obviously hadn’t changed at all.

“Qianqian—”

Kneeling in front of her on one knee once again, the words he had prepared earlier finally came in handy, “I never believed in love at first sight but the moment I saw you, I had a premonition that one day I would willingly succumb to you. And so, I did. I regretted not coming into your life sooner. I thought, perhaps I could have met you earlier and known you longer. Although I wasn’t part of your past, I hope to be part of your future. Every year from now on, I want to be part of your life. Qianqian, will you marry me and become my Mrs. Lu for this life and forever more?”

Murong Qian never expected him to say something so emotional. She couldn’t stop the tears that poured from her eyes.

She raised her face, wiping away her tears. Once she had calmed her overwhelming emotions, she extended her left hand to him in the face of his hopeful gaze, “Yes, I accept.”

“Thank… thank you.”

Lu Cong was overjoyed and even thanked her politely, which caused Murong Qian to both laugh and cry at the same time.

Having successfully proposed, Lu Cong excitedly swept Murong Qian up into his arms, spinning her around – the room was brimming with sweetness.

Meanwhile elsewhere,

Gu Li didn’t check her phone during class until the bell rang. Then, she took out her phone from her desk drawer and opened WeChat.

The first thing she noticed was the message Da Ha sent.

“Sister Qian’s explosive news?”

“What’s going on?”

Gu Li was puzzled, thinking that PolyBridge didn’t land on the trending topic list again.

She did not want to spend money on that anymore. Whining, she had just sent a large amount of money to the school in the mountain region. She was so poor now.

As she thought, she clicked on the video.

When she saw the man and woman under the dim street light sharing an incredibly sweet moment, her eyes widened in shock.

Seriously?

When did those two start dating?

Ahhh, she was kept in the dark, not knowing anything?

Isn’t this too much?

Ahhh—

Gu Li was not calm anymore.

After leaving the classroom, instead of going back to the dorm, she found a secluded corner, planning to call Murong Qian. But at the crucial moment, she stopped and decided to call Da Ha instead.

No one answered when she called Da Ha’s cell phone. Gu Li gritted her teeth and called him via WeChat instead.

Well, Da Ha always kept his phone on silent and she guessed that he would only respond to WeChat.

As expected, Da Ha answered immediately.

A picture of a handsome man bathing appeared on the screen.

What on earth?

What’s happening?

Gu Li’s eyes widened when she realized what was happening and she couldn’t help swearing, “Gu Yao you bastard, why would you answer my call while you’re bathing?”

Da Ha looked innocent, “Boss, how was I supposed to know you were making a video call? I was just enjoying my bath, saw the WeChat notification ring, and thinking it was an emergency, I answered without checking. Besides, I’m the one at a disadvantage, why are you so worked up?”

“Heh.”‘

Gu Li gritted her teeth and laughed, “I bet you’re really feeling disadvantaged, aren’t you? Can your skinny little body even compare to my husband?”

“Hey, no personal attacks.”

“Humph!”

Gu Li scrunched up her nose disdainfully and said, “Put on your clothes first, then we’ll talk. If my brother-in-law found out that I saw you bathing, I’d be dead.”

Although she saw nothing aside from his pale shoulders, Shiting was so petty that he might seize the chance to punish her.

Wait, why is she scared of Shiting?

He wouldn’t know that she saw Da Ha bathing, right?

With this thought, Gu Li’s courage rose, and she told Da Ha warmly, “Gu Yao, kid, you just continue soaking in that tub and explain things to me, okay? When exactly did Sister Qian and Lu Cong hook up? It seems like you already knew this a while back, didn’t you? Oh, last time you said, you have a secret about Sister Qian. Could this be it?”

Faced with Gu Li’s piercing questions, Da Ha decided to play dead. “Oh, Boss, what did you say? The hotel’s wifi is really bad, I can’t hear you. Did you lose connection? Hello…”

Gu Li cut straight through his act, saying, “Come on, your act was something I used to play.”

“Hehe…”

Da Ha only could chuckle apologetically, “Boss, there’s one more thing I have to say, Sister Qian’s ex-boyfriend was Lu Cong.”

“What? Lu Cong is the jerk of an ex-boyfriend who dumped Sister Qian four years ago?”

Gu Li was astounded.

She let slip her surprise a little too loudly, and it was overheard by Shiting who just arrived looking for her.
