Translator: 549690339
Xia Yangyang felt her heart quiver for a moment.
But Xia Yangyang did not stop.
If anything, she sped up her pace, dragging Chen Yu along with her.
No one behind them spoke again.
Shen Manbing’s face changed slightly, as she turned to look at Gu Qichen next to her. “Who were you calling?”
Gu Qichen responded indifferently, “Perhaps, I mistook her for someone else.”
Xia Yangyang and Chen Yu directly went to the rooftop via a side door.
The place was peaceful, as if it had been cut off from all the clamor and bustle.
Xia Yangyang’s heart was beating wildly, and she felt as if all the strength had been drained from her body. She sat down on a swing chair on the balcony.
Xia Yangyang’s reaction was one of apparent shock.
She probably did not expect Shen Manbing and Gu Qichen to be here.
Chen Yu was also unsure of what to say, so he tentatively asked, “Are you okay?”
Of course, she wasn’t okay.
Xia Yangyang was extremely upset. Her doubts were confirmed, and things turned out to be as bad as she had imagined.
Xia Yangyang said, “Chen Yu, I want to be alone for a while.”
Chen Yu said, “That’s not possible, I won’t feel at ease if you’re alone. I won’t speak, just sit beside you.”
Xia Yangyang did not know how long she stood on the rooftop.
After a while, she stood up and told Chen Yu, “Chen Yu, I want to go back first.”
Chen Yu looked serious, “Alright, I will go with you.”
Xia Yangyang did not say anything.
They both reentered the banquet hall.
All the noise and glitz seemed to rush back.
The banquet hall was even busier than before.
Many people were gathered together, shrieking and cheering.
It seemed like something had happened over there.
Xia Yangyang initially did not want to know.
But as they passed, the buzz around them grew.
Xia Yangyang heard exclamations as she walked, “Queen Shen Manbing is actually proposing in person. My God, that man is so lucky. This news will surely make headlines worldwide tomorrow.”
“They say that this man is not an ordinary person either, he is the youngest president of Shengyuan Group and the head of the leading family among the four, Gu Qichen from Gu family.”
“So he is the mystery man behind Shen Queen, but he is really handsome, a truly perfect match.”
Xia Yangyang didn’t want to stay, but couldn’t resist stopping when she heard this.
On a whim, she changes direction and heads towards the crowd.
She pushed her way through the crowd, which was filled with sounds of surprise and applause.
Xia Yangyang finally reached the front.
In front of her, Shen Manbing was kneeling on one knee, holding up a box containing a diamond ring, and saying, “Ah Chen, will you marry me?”
They were standing underneath the chandelier’s cascade of light.
Gu Qichen’s face was obscured by the shadows, preventing Xia Yangyang from seeing his expression.
But he stood there without moving, not responding for a long time.
The cheering of the crowd grew louder. In their eyes, Shen Manbing was the dream of all men.
This man must have been too overwhelmed with happiness to respond.
Xia Yangyang stared at the man, feeling as if her heart was on the verge of stopping.
She was also waiting for an answer that even she didn’t know.
The cheering of the crowd slowly died down, his silence creating a note of uncertainty amidst the excitement.
At this moment, Shen Manbing suddenly stood up.
Raising on her tiptoes, she kissed Gu Qichen.
Once again, the atmosphere exploded. Whistles and cheers echoed throughout the crowd.
Xia Yangyang was utterly stupefied.
All she could sense was a world devoid of sound and people, with only the two individuals in front of her, locked in their embrace.
Unconsciously, tears started to fall from Xia Yangyang’s eyes.
Just at that moment, Xia Yangyang was pulled suddenly into an embrace, spun around, and held from behind.
Chen Yu pressed Xia Yangyang’s head onto his shoulder and said, “Silly girl, stop looking.”
Xia Yangyang’s tears came streaming down.
Chen Yu pulled Xia Yangyang’s hand decisively and left the banquet….
