She was a girl whose features weren’t particularly remarkable, but her fair skin and understated makeup made her stand out amidst the many heavily made-up girls, like a refreshing stream amidst them.
And the dress that appeared tailor-made for her outlined her exquisite figure for all to see. With just a glance, the balance between bold and subtle was just right, making her uniquely refined and pretty.
Seeing her, everyone finally recognized her. It was then, amidst the lighting, the man holding the microphone and pushing the giant cake finally stepped into the spotlight and stood silently in front of her.
"Aning, I know I’ve gone too far this time. I don’t beg for your forgiveness, but what I want to tell you is, the reason I did that was because—I love you too much!"
As the words fell, the entire room fell into an eerie silence!
That was because—I love you too much!
This was truly like a bomb that had been dropped suddenly. As it "pop" exploded in the air, not only was Ye Ning stunned, but the surrounding guests were also left gaping at the man.
So, was this a confession?
Was he confessing to a girl in such a manner?
The crowd eventually began to stir, their expressions showing just how shocked they were!
If he remembered correctly, when this girl came in, she was with a child. So, now that Lin Yebai was confessing to her, did it mean the girl was unmarried?
Or... had her husband passed away?
For a moment, everyone held their breath and turned their attention to the center of the living room.
Qiao Zhenhua was also shocked; he had no idea about this. Seeing his stepson making such a grand confession to a single mother, his face flushed red with anger: "What is this child doing? He... "
On the contrary, Mrs. Qiao was calm. Seeing her son declare his love in the spotlight, a smile appeared at the corner of her mouth: "I really child."
"What are you talking about?"
"Oh, Mom and Dad, please don’t quarrel. Brother has his plans," Qiao Feiyu interjected to stop her parents, her intention being not to disturb her brother.
But as she quieted her parents, a little carrot-top suddenly appeared among the crowd. Seeing everything that was happening inside and his mother looking dumbfounded, the little boy tried to push his way through.
"Move aside! Let me through!"
"Eh? Isn’t that the woman’s son?"
Before the sentence was completed, suddenly a pair of hands reached out. With a swoop, the child was lifted into an embrace: "Xiaobao, be a good boy and don’t move, Uncle Lin has something very important to discuss with your mom."
Upon seeing who it was, Ye Xiaobao began struggling even harder: "Uncle Xiaojin, let me go, I need to find my mom!"
Indeed, he needed to find his mom. He had to stop this from happening. His mom didn’t like Uncle Lin, and he couldn’t stand idly by and watch her agree to him.
Speaking of which, it was all Uncle Bingshan’s fault. He had promised to come, but now there was no sign of him at such a crucial moment. What was going on? Was he lying to him?
The little boy was feeling truly angry for the first time!
