Chapter 1144 - Proposal

Gong Yi was holding a red wine glass in his hand. He was socializing.

“Young Master.” The maid ran over. “Miss Ye is here.”

“She’s here?” Gong Yi quickly stuffed the wine glass in his hand into the maid’s arms. He lifted his long legs and ran to the door to welcome her personally.

At this moment, a white figure came from the door. Ye Xiaotao had arrived.

The white princess dress made her slim waist look slender and soft, like a willow. Her delicate and charming facial features and snow-white skin made her look like an otherworldly fairy.

A hint of pleasant surprise flashed past Gong Yi’s eyes. He was stunned for a moment.

“What’s wrong? Is there something on my face?” Ye Xiaotao approached and asked when she noticed that he kept staring at her.

Gong Yi quickly came back to his senses and nodded. He smiled charmingly and said, “Yes.”

“What is it?” Ye Xiaotao touched her little face.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

“A delicate and beautiful rose.”

Ye Xiaotao...

“Glib-tongued!” She gave him a sweet look and then handed the birthday cake in her hand to him. “Here, I made the birthday cake for you with my own hands.”

“You made it personally?” Gong Yi’s eyes lit up. He took the cake box and looked at it as if it was a treasure. Then, he handed it to the maid. “Help me put this away. Take it out after the guests have dispersed.”

“Gong Yi, don’t you want to share the birthday cake with others?”

“What I will share is made by others. What you made can only be shared between the two of us.” Gong Yi raised his eyebrow. He was in a good mood. He reached out and wrapped her small hand in his palm. “Come, let’s go in.”

“Okay.”

The two of them entered the hall together. Ye Xiaotao’s appearance immediately caused a wave of exclamation. When she stood together with Gong Yi, they looked like a beautiful couple who just walked out of a mural.

They were too compatible.

“Xiaotao, I haven’t seen you for almost six years. You’re really becoming more and more beautiful. Once you return, the title of the number one beauty in the capital will belong to you.”

“That’s right, Xiaotao. I heard that you’re about to hold your third solo exhibition. This is wonderful.”

“Xiaotao, when are you and Young Master Gong getting married? Everyone has been saying that Young Master Gong chased you for five years. When Young Master Gong looked at you just now, he didn’t even blink.”

A group of noble ladies from the capital surrounded Ye Xiaotao and chatted with her. She answered a few questions simple. As for the matter of getting married, she turned around and looked for Gong Yi.

But, he wasn’t there.

He was just by her side a moment ago. Where did he go?

At this moment, the lights in the villa’s hall were suddenly extinguished along with the sound of a switch. The room was filled with darkness.

Ye Xiaotao was shocked. She thought that something had happened but the flame of a candle appeared in front of her. Gong Yi walked through the crowd, surrounded by the servants. He slowly walked towards her.

“Xiaotao,” Gong Yi came in front of her and knelt down on one knee. “I’m sorry. Without your knowledge and without any preparation, I’m going to launch a surprise attack because I can’t wait any longer.”

“Ever since I saw you on your birthday when you were young, I had decided that you were mine, and I was yours. All my time was spent waiting for you to grow up. Xiaotao, I love you. My heart completely belongs to you. Besides you, there is no one else in my eyes. I can’t wait for you to... marry me.”

As he spoke, Gong Yi took out a diamond ring. “Xiaotao, will you marry me?”

Only then did Ye Xiaotao realized that this was a proposal.

At his birthday party, under the witness of all the noble families in the capital, Gong Yi proposed to her.

Was she ready?
