Chapter 284 - The Confession on the Cruise

Chapter 284 The Confession on the Cruise

Ye Yifan’s deep eyes seemed to contain some form of power that could calm the human heart. Tang Xia knew that he was now determined to make the change.

She slowly stepped forward and held his hand gently. Ye Yifan, who was immersed in his own world, was roused by her sudden move.

When he looked up, he saw Tang Xia looking at him with a gentle expression and a smile on her face. Ye Yifan felt a warm feeling in his heart and he held onto her hand, with a smile on his face. “Thank you. It’s also because of you that I have the courage to resist and do what I want.”

Tang Xia saw a look of affection flash across Ye Yifan’s eyes, and she lowered her head rather unnaturally.

“No, I should thank you for choosing to help me this time instead of watching idly on the side. Otherwise, I really would not have been able to bear with your mother.”

As she said this, her eyes shone, and she felt mildly touched.

Ye Yifan also blushed slightly. Just when the atmosphere between the two of them was becoming a little ambiguous, Ye Yifan finally could not stand it anymore and he decided to break the awkwardness, “Right, why were you looking for me?”

It was also at this moment that Tang Xia remembered that she came to look for Ye Yifan, as she had some business with him. She had forgotten about it due to the run in with Mother Ye, and so, she smacked her head in slight frustration.

“Oh yes, I came to look for you to tell you that when I came out of the office just now, Li Xianxian coincidentally went in, and seemed to be discussing secrets with July, but I just heard a few keywords.”

When Ye Yifan heard Tang Xia mention Li Xianxian, he gave a barely perceptible frown, then he asked seriously, “What did you hear? Tell me.”

Tang Xia thought about it for a while. Based on her memory, she remembered a little and she told Ye Yifan everything based on what she heard earlier.

“I suspect she wants to cheat. After all, the next match is about vampires.”

Ye Yifan listened to what she said and he, too, became lost in deep thought. After he was silent for some time, he turned his head and looked at Tang Xia who was beside him, then he suddenly grabbed hold of her shoulder, with a serious expression on his face.

“In that case, let’s not act rashly any more. Let’s observe well for some time to see what the situation is like. We will talk about it after we have the evidence. This time, I won’t allow you to fight the enemy alone.”

When Tang Xia saw the faint look of concern in Ye Yifan’s eyes, she thought for some time before she nodded her head helplessly.

The two fell silent again and Tang Xia could not help giving a little awkward cough. However, Ye Yifan took out two invitations from his pocket and handed them to Tang Xia.

Tang Xia took it with a puzzled look on her face. “What is this?” As she spoke, she opened it and saw an address printed on the invitation. It was even decorated with a bow that Tang Xia liked.

Ye Yifan smiled, pointed at the invitation and said, “This is the pass for a cruise party. Would you be willing to go with me tomorrow?”

Tang Xia inevitably felt a little puzzled. She looked at it for a long time and she was certain that there was only one address.

“What party is this? Why didn’t they even state the owner’s name and they just left an address?” However, Ye Yifan blinked in a guilty way and he looked up at the ceiling.

“You’ll know when you go, because it’s a special party!”

Although Tang Xia felt that it was unusual, she also knew that she would not lose out even if she went. Furthermore, now that she was on good terms with Ye Yifan, she was naturally willing to go, so she nodded her head and agreed.

Tang Xia got up early on Saturday and dressed well, since she was a respectable lady after all. The party that Ye Yifan invited her to was not a casual affair, so she tried her best to dress more appropriately.

After the previous lesson that she learned, she no longer wore high heels. However, before the agreed time that evening, Ye Yifan already came to pick her up personally. Tang Xia could not help but wonder, “Didn’t you say that it starts in the evening? Why are you here now?”Updates by vi p novel

Ye Yifan panted lightly for a while, before he directly pulled Tang Xia’s hand without saying a word, with the intention to leave. Tang Xia hurriedly closed the door and Ye Yifan shoved her into the car.

After the car drove on for a while, Ye Yifan then said slowly, “A friend of mine wants to propose today and I don’t think you would want to miss out on what we’ve prepared previously, so I thought I should pick you up earlier.”

Tang Xia was stunned for a moment before she came to understand why there was only one address in the invitation. It turned out that it was because they only invited all of their good friends and so, only one address was written.

However, when Tang Xia thought of how she would be able to witness the entire process of another person’s marriage proposal, she could not contain the excitement in her girlish heart.

Soon, the two of them arrived at the so-called cruise dock where the proposal would take place that night, and Ye Yifan smiled as he held Tang Xia’s hand and went in.

As soon as the two of them walked in, they saw a bunch of boys busily decorating the venue. There were pink balloons all around them, and Tang Xia could not help but exclaim softly.

Ye Yifan looked at Tang Xia who was looking around curiously, as if she was looking at the flamboyant world and he gave a slight frown. Tang Xia also noticed that something was wrong with Ye Yifan and she hurriedly pulled his elbow and asked softly,Updates by vi p novel

“What’s wrong? Do you feel unwell?”

Ye Yifan did not know how to answer, and just when he froze and was at a loss as to what to say, a man in the distance shouted out loud at him,

“Yifan, why are you still zoning out over there? Why don’t you hurry over here and help out?” It was after he said this, then he noticed that there was a girl standing next to Ye Yifan.

As if he was granted amnesty, he quickly ran over and said, “Coming!” Although Tang Xia knew that something was amiss with him, she did not say anything. Since Ye Yifan did not want to talk about it, she would not ask, then she turned and went to look around by herself.

The man gave him a cheeky smile and he said, “Hey, who is that girl! Why are you not with Li Xianxian? Isn’t she your fiancee?”

Ye Yifan glared at him angrily and the man apologized sheepishly. “Okay, okay. I’ll stop talking, alright?”

The sky gradually darkened. Halfway through, Tang Xia felt tired and went to sit in the lounge for a while, but she suddenly heard a commotion in the doorway. Feeling slightly puzzled, she went out to take a look.

Right after she stepped out, she was stunned by the sight before her eyes. She saw a bunch of balloons strewn all over the place. There were even lights and rose petals sprinkled on the ground. However, she felt slightly puzzled as she obviously heard a commotion earlier before, but right now, there was not a single person in sight.

Tang Xia slowly walked over to the balloons in the center. Right at that moment, she suddenly heard a sound behind her.

When she turned her head, she suddenly saw Ye Yifan bending down on one knee, with a smile on his face and a diamond ring in his hand. With a blissful look on his face, he said in a deep voice, “Marry me.”

Tang Xia did not know how to react. Her brain instantly could not function, but her heart felt slightly strange.

When Tang Xia cupped her mouth in shock and did not know what to say, Ye Yifan also looked a little embarrassed, as he held onto the diamond ring and seemed at a loss too.

The two of them were silent for a long time, and just when Tang Xia was about to say something, Ye Yifan suddenly stood up. Aa bunch of people suddenly popped up from behind him and they began to laugh with satisfaction, as they watched the two of them.

“Yifan, you’re done for. You instantly hurt a little girl’s heart!” Another boy, who stood by the side, quickly covered his mouth and laughed in embarrassment, “He is joking. You guys can carry on. Please continue.”

Tang Xia was a little confused and she could not understand what was happening now. She looked at Ye Yifan with a puzzled expression and that look seemed to be asking him to give her an explanation. Ye Yifan smiled rather awkwardly, “I’m just joking. Don’t take it seriously.”

As he said this, he turned around and gave the diamond ring in his hand to a man who was dressed in a formal suit. The man nodded his head with satisfaction, and took the ring. “Yes, the effects are great. I will propose like this later on, then.”

That was when Tang Xia realized that it was just a rehearsal earlier on, and she inevitably felt slightly helpless and depressed again.

Tang Xia smiled and quickly waved her hand. “I knew it. From the start, I already knew that you guys were just joking with me earlier on.”

Although she said this, her heart felt slightly disappointed and she turned to look at the table by the side. There was some alcohol on the table and because Tang Xia felt bored, she went over to pour herself a glass.

Ye Yifan looked at Tang Xia’s desolate silhouette and he quickly followed after her. The friends around him did not pay much attention to them, and everyone was anxiously waiting for the real female lead to arrive.

Tang Xia pursed her lips lightly and she felt hot. Although she was a little disappointed, she did not know why she also felt a sense of relief in her heart.

Just when she was about to take a second sip, Ye Yifan suddenly came over and took the cup out of her hands.

“Don’t drink anymore. After all, I will not know what to do if you get drunk here.” Tang Xia raised an eyebrow and did not insist. The atmosphere between the two of them was strangely awkward.

Ye Yifan thought about it for a while, before he drew in a deep breath and said as if he had made an important decision, “Actually… You can take what I said just now, seriously.”

Tang Xia was stunned and could not understand what he was referring to. Ye Yifan pulled his tie nervously.

“It’s just that… I like you. I’m not sure if you would be willing to be my girlfriend, or to take a step further.”

After experiencing the surprise earlier, what he said this time made Tang Xia feel rather calm and her expression was rather blank.

At that moment, the people who were not far away, suddenly quietened down. They saw a goddess-like girl enter with a blank expression on her face, as she looked at the surroundings. Her expression was exactly the same as that of Tang Xia’s earlier on.

The difference was that it was a fake proposal earlier on, but it was the real thing now.

After the proposal, the cruise became lively again and Tang Xia and Ye Yifan stood together in silence.

Just when Ye Yifan thought that Tang Xia was unwilling to give him an answer, she suddenly turned to look at him with a serious expression on her face. “Sorry, I can’t agree to this now.”
