Chapter 230 The Proposal (2)

By the time he returned home, it was about 11pm. When he opened the door and entered the room, it was just like what he imagined. He saw Su Yaya watching an entertainment show at home. She was happily watching it, chuckling out loud. She didn’t even welcome him back home enthusiastically.

Of course, he was in a happy mood, so he didn’t bother to argue with her. He told her that he wanted to talk to her about something, and Su Yaya cooperated. He then took her outside.

The car drove to the foot of Blessful Mountain. Through the window, Su Yaya saw the trees flickering by. The car kept on following the path up the mountains, and it almost reached the peak now.

Su Yaya found it hilarious inside. There was really the possibility of her corpse being abandoned on the mountains in the middle of the night. She could imagine it at least.

In the end, after the car stopped at the top of the Blessful Mountain, the driver found a spot to park it. Chen Xiuqi opened the car door and got out, walking to the other side to open the other car door. He extended his hand to Su Yaya and held her hands as she got out of the car.

Chen Xiuqi brought Su Yaya to the site he set up. There was a long table set up on the gra.s.sland with a rose-colored tablecloth draped over it. At the center of the long table was a lit candle with red wine around, and a huge bouquet of roses.

There was a faint and elegant fragrance wafting in the air. It smelled really nice. There were multi-colored lights flickering around their surroundings, s.h.i.+ning on everything brightly. It was beautiful like a paradise. One couldn’t help but become intoxicated and captivated. Just one careless whiff and they’d sink into this feeling as if the pumpkin carriage had brought the midnight Cinderella into the dreamy palace.

Chen Xiuqi held Su Yaya’s hands and brought her to the table. He smiled and asked, “Do you like it?”

Su Yaya knitted her brows, feeling a bit strange. “Yeah?”

Chen Xiuqi chuckled at her foolish expression. He brought out the sapphire ring that she had long prepared since this morning. With a sincere expression, he brought it to Su Yaya. He said in his mellow and rich nice sounding voice, “Didn’t you say that I’ve never proposed to you? I’m proposing to you right now. Yaya, marry me okay?”

Thump. Su Yaya took a step back, alarmed and in fear. She accidentally tipped the flower basket on the long table, and the flower branches hooked onto the wine gla.s.s. Both items fell down together, making the scene a bit messy.

Chen Xiuqi glanced at Su Yaya’s pale expression. He found it funny but helpless at the same time. He reached over to touch her face wearing a pampering look, “Why did you have such a huge reaction? You must’ve been startled…”

Before he could finish his words, Su Yaya moved back a step like a startled rabbit, avoiding his hand and looking at him in alarm.

Chen Xiuqi’s raised hand was still in midair. He finally detected something wrong with Su Yaya. This wasn’t the reaction of a person being proposed. Su Yaya wasn’t shocked nor excited. Instead, she was startled and afraid as if he was a devil right now and extending his evil claws to her. It felt like she wanted to be far away from him.

“What’s the matter?” Chen Xiuqi knitted his brows deeply, looking at Su Yaya confusedly. Her reaction was completely not what he imagined. In his imagination, Su Yaya should be shocked and excited, like a happy bird throwing itself into his arms, and wrapping her arms around his neck. She should be chuckling and saying that she was willing, really willing to. Then, she’d kiss the corner of his lips… she definitely shouldn’t be avoiding him as if he was a scorpion!

Su Yaya’s face was pale, and she glanced at Chen Xiuqi proposing to her. Lots of scenes within her dream flickered through her mind. Su Yaya recalled how happy and delighted she was with Chen Xiuqi, and then how she was bullied tragically by An Yutong. The two different scenes intercrossed with one another, and formed the b.l.o.o.d.y scene that called for her last trigger. It was the moment when An Yutong ran into Su Yaya with her car. The fresh blood sprinkled and splashed everywhere, soaking her from head to toe. There was nowhere to hide.
