At nine o’clock, Lin Jingxuan punctually arrived at the meeting place.
“Ruoruo… ”
The moment that he saw Ye Erruo, Lin Jingxuan was stunned.
His gaze could not leave that innocent and pretty yet cold and aloof face. In particular, the scarlet off-the-shoulder long dress that she wore made her look very feminine. Her bare shoulders were as fair and tender as snow. Her long tresses were blowing in the breeze, her red lips enchanting and both her eyes could charm souls.
“You… ”
“What is the matter?”
“You’re here so early.” Bedazzled, he sat opposite her. He was not even prepared yet.
“Ruoruo, you’re so beautiful today.”
Ye Erruo gave a charming smile. “Thank you.”
Soon after, the service staff brought various items over and set them up in front of Ye Erruo. Very soon, there were red candles, roses and table runner on the crystal table. The decoration was cozy and romantic, seemingly catered for two lovers who were on a date.
“Ruoruo, these items were supposed to be prepared before you arrived to surprise you. However, you were here too early.”
Ye Erruo curled her lips and scoffed, “I’m pleasantly surprised now.”
“Let’s look at what you would like to eat?” He passed the menu to her.
After flipping the menu, Ye Erruo only ordered the baby lobsters. The service staff then took the menu along when they left the private room.
“Ruoruo, I know. I can’t openly give you happiness now. But… ”
Lin Jingxuan suddenly left his seat and knelt on the ground with one knee. He slowly opened a small box that he was holding in his hands and looked at Ye Erruo affectionately. “I promise you that I will marry you one day. This ring is the attestation of my promise. From today onwards, you will be my fiancée. Ruoruo, marry me!”
Ye Erruo lowered her head, tapping her cell phone. She glanced at him. “Fiancée?”
“Yes! From today onwards, you are my fiancée. Haven’t you always wanted to be married to me? Today, Brother Jingxuan will fulfill your wish.”
Ha, fulfill her wish? He had put it so nicely.
“Lin Jingxuan, what I wanted to tell you today is that I have already collected my certificate with Mo Jiangye. Legally, we are husband and wife now. And I… ”
She took the ring and fidgeted with it in an absent-minded manner. She then threw it on the table, shot him a chilling look and said, “And I will no longer have anything to do with you.”
Lin Jingxuan was shocked and confused. His face turned pale instantly. “R-Ruoruo, do you know what you are talking about?
Ruoruo, are you still angry with me!!”
Never did he expect that today’s surprise would turn into a shock. He proposed to her and she actually rejected him!!! Moreover, she wanted to cut off all connections with him.
“Ruoruo!”
Ye Erruo was focused on her own things and tapping her cell phone, seemingly oblivious to his words. Soon after, the service staff walked in again.
“Miss, how can I help you?”
“Take away the candles on the table. Change the green tea to plain water. I want cold and not warm water. Next, bring me a few bottles of beer. Slightly chilled ones.”
“Okay.”
“Are the baby lobsters that I ordered ready?”
“It will be ready soon, miss.”
“Fine. Take away the candles as well as the table runner. Change the table cloth. Please also change the chair opposite me,” She pointed to the chair that Lin Jingxuan was seated on earlier and said.
“Okay, miss.” The service staff picked up the items. At the same time, she was glancing sideways at the man kneeling on the floor.
Suddenly, Lin Jingxuan stood up, stared at Ye Erruo and hollered, “Ye Erruo, what do you mean by this?”
“I meant what I said earlier. Take your stuff and leave. From now onwards, we will have nothing to do with each other.” Initially, she had wanted to put on a pretense and continue to act like the past ‘Ye Erruo’ in front of him. However, he disgusted her when he took out the ring and proposed to her!
