Marry me, will you?

Si Lianye was startled, if she was not studying, he was working, this was the first time something like this happened when she was out playing, and she couldn't help but take a glance at Shen Xiran.

The little girl was anxious, thinking that Si Lianye did not want it, she thought that Si Lianye did not want it, and continued: "Handsome big brother, buy one, it's not expensive, look, these flowers are so beautiful, it's just like a little big sister."

His voice was clear, and his mouth was sweet. He praised two people at the same time, making Shen Xiran very happy, and then bent down to caress the little girl's head and said: "Alright, then I'll buy one. Which one do you think is prettier? Can you help me pick one? "

The little girl took it for real when she saw the little girl not much older than Le Le, who already wanted to get closer to him since he was only a few years old. She lowered her head and carefully looked, and sure enough, the prettiest rose that she had ever seen came out: "Here, big sis, you're so beautiful, this rose is the same as yours."

Shen Xiran was very happy when he heard it, and extended his hand forward to receive it while smiling.

Si Lianye smiled from the side. "You like it?"

She raised her eyebrows, nodded, and sniffed the fragrance of the roses.

This flower was truly not bad. The flower bud was still in bloom, and the fragrance was faint. The thorns on the branch had already been carefully cleaned up by someone.

She felt that even if she still had something on her mind tonight, when she saw this flower, it had already become unimportant.

Seeing that, Si Lianye did something that surprised her. He said to the little girl who had her eyes opened wide: "I will buy all of your flowers."

The girl's eyes immediately shone with disbelief and joy. She thanked him profusely, "Thank you big brother …" "Thank you big brother …"

After saying that, he took the money from him and stuffed all the flowers into Shen Xiran's arms. "Little big sister, this is big brother's gift to you."

With that said, she happily fled into the crowd with her scarlet face.

Shen Xiran was almost shocked by this unforeseen event. He lowered his head and looked at the large bouquet of roses in his hand, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. His heart was slightly moved as he asked Si Lianye: "What do you mean by this?"

Si Lianye shrugged his shoulders, "It's nothing, it looks like you like it a lot, so I bought it all for you, do you like it?"

She looked down at the flowers and at him. She wanted to say she didn't like it, but she felt that she couldn't say anything against her will. She couldn't help but not say anything for a long time.

Seeing her conflicted expression, Si Lianye couldn't help but smile at the bottom of her heart.

This woman was becoming more and more adorable. So what if he said he liked her?

The night gradually turned darker, and the number of people in the plaza gradually lessened. She looked at the scenery and said, "It's about time. Let's go back."

Si Lianye stopped her. "Wait."

She looked up at him in surprise. "What's wrong?"

At this time, it was probably because of the decrease in the number of people. The music fountain stopped, and she only felt that the noise in her ears had become much quieter.

He did not say anything, but pointed to the sky and said, "Look."

As soon as he finished speaking, a beautiful flower that was red to the extreme suddenly bloomed in the night sky above them. It was even many times brighter than the rose in her hand.

Her eyes widened in surprise.

The huge rose slowly disappeared, and then bloomed into a golden peony, then into a purple hyacinth, and even into pink peach and red plum blossoms. There were so many of them that they filled the night sky.

She was unable to take her eyes off it, and her eyes were filled with amazement.

She had grown up, but this was the first time she had seen such a large display of fireworks at such a close distance. Only after a while did she realize that there were already a lot of people recording with their cellphones out of the corner of her eyes.

She immediately patted her forehead in excitement, and quickly stuffed the bouquet of roses in her hand into Si Lianye's hands, then said: "How could I forget, this must be an activity organized by the local government. I can't miss it, if I let my child see it, I'll watch it." After saying that, he took out his phone and aimed at the colorful fireworks that were still erupting.

Multicolored, colorful, this was a very beautiful visual feast. She was too busy shooting and getting excited to notice the complicated expression of the man beside her.

As she watched, Si Lianye coughed lightly when the firework above her head seemed to become thinner.

She turned her head to look at him. "What's wrong?"

Si Lianye moved a little and a small box appeared in her hands.

She stared blankly and suddenly felt that something was wrong.

What is it?

She quickly found the answer.

Si Lianye held the flower in one hand and the red velvet box in the other, and gently placed the box in her hands.

"Take a look."

"What is it?" Her heart skipped a beat and she dared not open the box.

His eyes encouraged her: "Look."

She lowered her head and slowly opened the clasp. Immediately, a brilliant diamond ring appeared in front of her eyes.

She lightly inhaled a breath of cold air. At this moment, a giant rose suddenly blossomed from the top of her head, just like how it was in her current heart.

She pursed her lips to look at the ring, feeling a complicated emotion: joy, sadness and even more helplessness. Suddenly, a layer of mist appeared in front of her eyes.

She blinked back tears.

Si Lianye suddenly reached out and grabbed her hand, saying softly, "Marry me, okay?"

Her body trembled. She instinctively tried to withdraw her hand, but he stopped her.

"Xi Ran, I like it a lot. Let us support each other and spend our days together in the future, okay?" He whispered in her ear, "I'll love you all my life. I'll love you until we grow old together. Will you promise me?"

His voice was low and magnetic, and her heart skipped a beat, and for a moment she almost nodded in agreement.

She took a deep breath, trying to calm her boiling heart.

She looked up at him.

His quiet, hopeful eyes were fixed on her.

She shook her head slightly as he watched.

The fire of hope in his eyes was instantly extinguished.

An indescribable sense of guilt welled up in her, causing her heart to ache with it.

However, the calmness hidden in the depths of her heart forcefully restrained her heart.

She opened her mouth with difficulty, "I'm sorry, I can't promise you that."

Si Lianye's expression was dejected. She smiled bitterly and closed the box in her hands, but did not take it back.

She lowered her head to look at her palm. Although the box was now closed, she could still remember how beautiful and captivating the ring was.

She shook her head. "This is yours. I'll return it to you."

After that, she handed the box back, and Si Lianye blocked her movements.

She looked at him in surprise, and he shook his head. Although his face was gloomy, his tone was firm, "The things I took out never came back. Even if you don't agree to my proposal, please take it. Otherwise, find a trash can and throw it away."

She blinked, thinking that she must have misheard. Such a beautiful, big diamond ring and it was thrown into a trash can? Only this kind of wealthy person could say such a thing.

She looked at the man in front of her and said, "This is originally yours, can't I give it back to you?"

With that, he forced the ring into his hand. Who knew that he would do something like throwing it away, making her heart jump out of her chest. "No, no, since you don't want it, I'll keep it for you."

She took the ring off his finger in fear and carefully put it away. She looked at him with dissatisfaction: "Do you know how much this ring is worth? You actually threw it away like that?"

"Of course I know. It's only a few million." Si Lianye shrugged her shoulders, her tone clearly showing that she did not care.

She was shocked. "Several million?" She shook her head while laughing and crying, "You're such a tycoon. Do you know that these few million are money that many people can't earn in their lifetimes?"

"So what? In my heart, those several million isn't even as important as a single strand of your hair." he whispered, looking deeply at her.

She was stunned for a moment before she felt the heat radiating from her face spread further and further away. "What nonsense are you talking about …"

"My heartfelt words." He looked at her very seriously. "To me, you are a priceless treasure."

Not only did she feel hot, but she was also beginning to feel warm. If she was in the room now, she would take off her clothes and look in the mirror, as if she could see a cooked shrimp.

She sucked in a light breath, feeling that it took all her strength to force herself to refuse. "I'm sorry, but you're not."

With these ruthless words, she could almost see his eyes darken at a speed visible to the naked eye.

This scene made her feel as if she had committed a great sin.

Thankfully, he did not say anything more and forced a laugh, saying, "Alright, let's go back. The wind is strong now."

Only after hearing this did she realize that the night wind had already begun to blow colder and colder.

She lightly shivered, but before she could say anything, she suddenly felt a warmth on her shoulders. She looked up and saw that he had already taken off his jacket and placed it over her shoulders.

She pursed her lips and pulled at his jacket, feeling an indescribable complex feeling in her heart.

Especially when she felt that under his attacks, her desire for revenge was gradually diminishing. What should she do now?

He pretended not to see her conflicted gaze and smiled faintly from the bottom of his heart. He didn't say anything.

After returning home, to her surprise, for the first time ever, he didn't bother her. He only escorted her through the door and said, "Have a good rest. Tomorrow afternoon's flight, you can take it slow. Don't worry." With that, he said with a strange look in his eyes, "Good night."
