Yan Shuyu did not expect the boss to propose to her so suddenly â alright, so it wasnât entirely a surprise. She was so pretty, and tender, and kind, and cute. It was only normal that the boss had completely fallen head over heel for her and wanted to spend the rest of his life with her. She had just refused to think about this possibility was all.
That being said, as much as he was head over heel in love with her, he should not have proposed to her in front of so many friends. How could she turn him down righteously then?
Yan Shuyu refused to admit that the wavering inside of her was brought about by the sparkling diamond the size of a pigeonâs egg, or that it was because there were stars in the kneeling bossâs eyes. She blamed it all on the boss putting her on the spot and that way she could explain it away to herself.
The situation was, indeed, tough. Had the boss proposed to her privately, Yan Shuyu could come up with 100 reasons to talk him out of this horrible idea without hurting his feelings. But now that they were in front of all these people, all of them friends of theirs, how could she possibly carry on with the boss after she had turned him down?
That was right. Yan Shuyu didnât want to get married; she just want to be in a relationship with the boss. She was openly a scumbag.
She wasnât that much of the scum before but she had it all figured out since she had got together with the boss and was prepared to break up with hi at any given point. That being said, after the little male leadâs birth motherâs incident, she was now very confident in both the boss and herself and started to have a change of heart. She felt that as the boss was very in love with her and she was quite fond of the boss, she would most likely never had a change of heart even just for the sake of the bossâs handsome and classy face as well as his wealthy that was way more than enough for this life time. There was no reason why they couldnât just date for the rest of their lives.
As long as there was no marriage certificate, there would be two less people to fight over the boss and the little male lead for their inheritance. How was that not a win-win situation?
All in all, Yan Shuyu truly believed that the boss proposing to her was a silly idea. Okay, never mind that he had such a silly idea himself, but why did he have to do the whole surprise thing and not let her know at all in advance. Now she was stuck between a rock and a hard place.
Yan Shuyu dared not spend too much time struggling. She worried that the crowd would be able to see through her. As such, amidst the cheerful of her little buddies, she said softly to the boss, âWhy donât you get up first?â
The music and the cheering around them drowned Yan Shuyuâs voice and Zhou Qinhe was the only one who heard it. His eyes that was as sparkly as the pigeonâs egg in his hand just a moment ago dimmed immediately. Yan Shuyuâs heart shuddered with it. This was the first time she felt a guilty conscience. She would probably had given in had Zhou Qinhe gone on for two more minutes.
Naturally, Zhou Qinhe wasnât the kind of person who would use the situation to his advantage. His sexy thin lips were tightened and his mood at this moment was obvious. Nevertheless, he still stood up as she had asked and, under the excited looks from the onlookers, swooped Yan Shuyu into his arms.
It was obviously that the little buddies at the scene erupted in joy and the atmosphere become livelier than ever. Under their gaze, Yan Shuyu started chatting with the boss softly, âWhy so suddenâ¦â
With his chin rested on her head, Zhou Qinhe asked softly, âYou donât want to marry me?â
âThatâs not it.â Without being able to see his look, Yan Shuyu couldnât really guess how he was feeling right now.
Granted, he probably wasnât going to be too happy when his proposal wasnât accepted immediately. Yan Shuyu tried very hard to calm him down and explained, âI was just shocked. It is such a big decision; I am going to need some time to think it through.â
âHow much time do you need?â
