Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Zhuang Li turned a blind eye to the passionate gazes around him. He took out a bouquet of roses from nowhere. This bouquet of roses was huge. It covered most of his body, again causing a wave of exclamations in the coffee shop.
Accompanied by the lingering background music, Zhuang Li walked to Wei Xi’er with the roses in his hands. He knelt on one knee and said, “Xi’er, I know my mistake is unforgivable, but I want your forgiveness. I love you very much. I can’t imagine my life without you in the future…”
“You…” Wei Xi’er was in a dilemma. She looked at Zhuang Li for a long time before she whispered, “Zhuang Li, is it worth it for you to do this?” While dating Zhuang Li, Wei Xi’er knew how proud Zhuang Li was. Such a high-profile apology and such a humble attitude did not suit his personality at all. Was it worth it for him to do this?
“Whether you forgive me or not, as long as I can do something for you, it’s worth it,” Zhuang li chuckled and took out a box from his pocket. The customers in the coffee shop exclaimed again when they saw what was inside the box. It was a pink diamond necklace. Not to mention the value of the rare pink diamond, the price of this necklace was already high. Rumors said a queen of a certain country once wore a necklace called “Eternity”. It implied that the person in front of him was the love of his life. That necklace had once been auctioned off for a sky-high price of 150 million. Now, this precious necklace was lying in a black velvet jewelry box, waiting for Wei Xi’er to wear it.
“I didn’t know what love was nor what loyalty and consideration were,” Zhuang Li looked at Wei Xi’er lovingly as he said gently, “Xi’er, it was only after I got to know you that I began to fantasize about how wonderful it would be to spend my life with someone. I know I’ve done something wrong, and I will correct it in the future and never do it again. Xi’er, can you forgive me and give me another chance? Xi’er, can we start over again?”
Zhuang Li’s eyes were red, as if he felt extremely guilty. His voice was so gentle. “Xi’er, can you be my girlfriend again?”
The scene, the moving music, the large bouquet of red roses, the jewelry that symbolized love, and the handsome Prince Charming were like a love story from a fairy tale. Wei Xi’er’s eyes were red. She looked at the man she had longed for, loved, and hated. She almost agreed to it.
Suddenly, Zhuang Li’s phone buzzed. This slight sound made Wei Xi’er, who was deeply touched, suddenly sober. She bit the tip of her tongue and swallowed her words as she smiled unnaturally. “It’s your call. You should answer it first.”
Shen Hanxing sighed lightly. She reached out and held Wei Xi’er. Wei Xi’er looked at Shen Hanxing and revealed a bitter smile. Then, she shook her head and lowered her eyes.
“It’s an unimportant call,” Zhuang Li saw the change in Wei Xi’er’s expression. He did not even look at his phone and turned it off. When he lifted his head again, his gaze was gentle. “Xi’er, there is nothing more important than you in this world. You haven’t answered me yet. Are you willing to be my girlfriend again?”
Such a grand courtship and that moving pink diamond necklace represented the ultimate life of romance and money. The young ladies in the coffee shop who did not understand the situation were already excited. They could not help but jeer, “Agree, agree…” The jeers grew louder and louder. It was as if the whole world was waiting for Wei Xi’er to nod, hoping they would get back together.
Shen Hanxing’s eyes were cold as she said gently, “Miss Wei, others can give you a lot of advice, but it’s your life. Don’t let others influence your choices.” These people who jeered felt it was romantic. They just jeered to get Wei Xi’er to agree. But could they be responsible for Wei Xi’er’s happiness in the future? They couldn’t.
Zhuang Li’s eyes were cold. He glanced at Shen Hanxing imperceptibly and pursed his lips without saying a word.
“I know. Thank you, Mrs. Ji,” Wei Xi’er thanked Shen Hanxing. Then, she took a deep breath and looked at Zhuang Li. She stared at him for a long time before she said, “Zhuang Li, I always thought that you were cold by nature and a person who couldn’t express his feelings. To be honest, I never thought that one day you would kneel in front of me on one knee and prepare such a romantic surprise for me.”
