Chapter 172
Spoiled by the President
She nodded.
She softly closed her eyes and her manâs charming voice started to count.
âOne.â
âTwo.â
âThree!â
She opened her eyes.
Her surroundings started to light up but when she opened her eyes, she did not notice where the light came from.
Gideon reminded her, âLook down.â
She looked down at her feet.
It was then her eyes widened in shock. She covered her mouth in astonishment.
Beneath her feet was the entire Derma Town, lit up in bright lights. The colorful and concentrated lights were meticulously arranged to spell two words: Marry Me!
She was stunned on the spot and did not know how to react.
Her man let go of her hand and then the charming voice sounded from behind her.
âNelly, will you marry me?â
She quickly turned around and saw her man two steps away, kneeling down on one knee with a pink diamond ring in his hand. His eyes were looking into her eyes warmly.
Nell covered her mouth in shock again.
Everything happened suddenly with no indication.
Even though she knew she was in for a surprise, she did not expect the surprise to be a proposal.
She started to feel teary. The lights beneath her feet, the starry path that she walked with him, every sign pointed to how meticulous this man was.
For a moment there she felt lost, she did not know what to do.
Then, she heard her man repeating, âNelly, will you marry me?â
Nellâs eyes were red, her heart was somewhat sourish and sweet at the same time. She held back her urge to jump into his arms and tell him how happy she was. She said, âWeâre already married, what are you doing all this for?â
Her man said with a solemn look, âI know. We are married legally and you are the wife of Gideon Leith, but marriage is something that happens once in a lifetime, it should not be that simple.â
âI was afraid that you would leave me before this, thatâs why I was eager to keep you by my side but I will compensate you for what I owe you. So this is my official proposal, will you say yes?â
Nell looked at her man, she could feel the tinge of nervousness under his charming voice.
She giggled and was moved and sad at the same time.
Nell was moved because as a proud man, Gideon was willing to lower himself and put in the effort to prepare all this for her.
He did not mind proposing again because he respected her feelings.
She was sad because she seemed to be losing control over her heart and feelings.
She told herself to be cautious and be careful not to get hurt a second time yet the feelings to try a second time were strong.
However, it was not time for her to be sad and sulky.
She already said yes in her heart a long time ago but when she realized her man kept this proposal from her this long, came to this town for four days without leaving a single hint and even made her worry for a moment back there, she believed he should be punished.
With that in mind, she awkwardly looked away and smiled.
âWell... I think... I have to consider your proposal seriously.â
The moment her words escaped her mouth, she clearly felt the change in her manâs look.
âWhat are you considering?â
âOf course I need to consider. We married in a hurry before this and you admitted that you did it because you wanted to keep me by your side. A man that schemes a lot is...â
Before she could even finish, her man stood up.
Before she could squeal in shock, that shiny diamond ring was already on her finger.
âHey, what are you doing? I havenât said yes!â
âAre you going to say it now?â
The man moved his face closer, his tone sounded a little sinister and his presence suddenly felt dangerous.
A moment ago he was as soft and warm as a sheep but at the next moment, the sheep transformed into a big bad wolf, as if he would eat her alive if she said no.
Nell slightly cocked her head back, the intimidating pressure from the man forced her to take a step back.
She showed a flattering smile, âN-No.â
âGreat.â
Gideon squinted his eyes and he returned to his warm and soft side.
âFrom this day onwards, we are officially husband and wife.â
âHuh?â
Nell was stunned and could not react to the situation.
âWe are husband and wife? Just like that? Why do I feel something's not right? Isnât the proposal a little quick? I didnât even get to savor my feelings and it already ended?â
At the same time in a big manor back at the town, Old Madam Quinton saw the domineering side of the man on her screen. She regrettably tapped her on her lap.
âGeez! Look what happened! I knew leaving this in his hands wasnât good enough! That dumbwit! Canât he pamper her more? If heâs this unreasonable, which girl would ever fall for him?â
Besides he was a rather pale-looking old man and he said he preferred Gideonâs straightforward and strong proposal.
He even argued softly, âHe did it in the end, why are you being so nervous?â
The old madam glared at him.
The old man was frightened by the glare, he nervously said, âYeah, Gideon is wrong for being so straight, Iâll teach him a lesson when he comes back!â
Lizzy also joined the conversation, âCan daddy really bring mommy home like this? I feel like mommyâs mad.â
The old madam quickly carried the little dumpling in her arms and consoled her, âNo, sheâs not. You are still young my dear, you will understand when you grow older. Your mommy is not mad, sheâs having a happy time with your daddy.â
Lizzy nodded without fully understanding the situation, âOh.â
After the old madam consoled the little dumpling, she continued watching the live telecast.
Nell had no idea everything that happened with her and Gideon was being broadcasted to their elders.
She looked at the man in front of her and said with a slight ridiculing tone, âYou did all this just for this?â
Gideon hugged her waist, holding her tightly in his arms. They stood face to face with his deeply affectionate gaze staring into her eyes. The atmosphere was absolutely romantic.
âYou donât like it?â
Nell thought for a moment and said, âItâs not that I donât like it but Iâm still a lady. Whatâs with the poor ending, you can at least be patient and keep the play up until the end.â
She said that with a soft voice and a lowered her, her cheeks were actually blushing.
She might want to ridicule him but it sounded more like she was asking to be pampered.
Her manâs heart almost melted when he heard those words.
Nell was not done, she added, âLook, youâve ruined the romantic atmosphere.â
Gideon smiled when he heard it.

Nell was slightly stunned. Her watery eyes stared straight into his eyes.
âDo you know where we are?â
