The waiter stood at the door waiting enthusiastically. When he saw them coming, he greeted them: "Mr. Shen, Miss Xiang, welcome."
Xiang Nuan was a little flattered. When he looked at Shen Yanshi, Shen Yanshi immediately said: "I just booked the restaurant at random, I didn't choose it specially."
Xiang Nuan: "..."
This is a high-end Western restaurant. There is no one inside, but all the crystal chandeliers are on. The table in the middle by the window has been decorated with candlesticks and roses.
"Every time I eat in a private room, I find it too boring. This time I wanted to sit outside, so I reserved the room." Shen Yanshi continued to defend.
Xiang Nuan swallowed and nodded: "Oh."
The waiter came forward politely and asked: "Will the food be served now?"
Xiang Nuan nodded: "Come on."
"Okay." The waiter withdrew.
Then the melodious sound of the violin sounded, and a blond old man in a tuxedo came out playing the violin.
Immediately afterwards, the chef came out pushing the food cart and walked to their table.
The dishes on the cart are covered with lids, and the chef brings each portion and opens it himself.
Then the chef placed the last dish in front of Xiang Nuan. He did not open it, but greeted with a smile: "Miss Xiang, please have a meal."
Xiang Nuan stared at the dinner plate covered by the lid in front of her. She seemed to have guessed what was inside...
She raised her eyes and saw Shen Yan's expectant eyes.
She opened the lid and found the familiar ring box quietly inside.
She was stunned for a moment: "Wow."
Shen Yanshi frowned: "Why aren't you surprised?"
She looked at him sincerely: "I'm very surprised."
Shen Yanshi had a dull face: "Don't you like it?"
She immediately shook her head: "No! I like it very much!"
His eyes were stern: "Don't you know that every time you tell lies, you look at people with extra sincerity?"
Xiang Nuan: "..."
Xiang Nuan smiled: "I really don't like it."
"Then you just don't want to marry me?" He suddenly became unreasonable.
Xiang Nuan said dryly: "The method of proposing is indeed a bit difficult to guess."
Shen Yanshi looked at her gloomily, his always proud face now full of frustration.
Xiang Nuan couldn't help laughing.
"Xiang Nuan!" He seemed to squeeze it out from between his teeth.
Xiang Nuan looked at him with a smile: "But it's you who proposed, so I'm still very happy."
He snorted coldly, but his face looked much better.
She opened the ring box, looked at the diamond ring inside, and raised the corners of her lips slightly.
She raised her chin proudly: "Why are you still standing there, come here and kneel down!"
Shen Yanshi raised the corners of his lips, stood up and walked to her side, took the ring box, knelt down on one knee, he took her hand and slowly slid the diamond ring onto her ring finger.
He raised his eyes to look at her, with a rare seriousness in his dark eyes: "Nuan Nuan, marry me."
"You asked me after you put it on me? Do you understand the rules during the banquet?"
He held her hand and said, "I've put it on, I can't regret it."
"Why are you such a rogue?"
He stood up, supported the back of her chair with one hand, bent down and pecked her lips: "I learned from you, woodpecker."
Xiang Nuan lowered his head and glanced at the ring that was put on his hand, and couldn't hold back the smile on his lips.
Shen Yanshi sat back, probably because he had finally completed an important task. He felt relieved and completely relaxed, not as tense as before.
He unbuttoned his suit, pulled on his tie, and lazily picked up and cut the steak.
Xiang Nuan couldn't help but ask: "Did you think of this proposal today?"
He sneered: "I asked Tomorrow about that useless piece of shit."
Xiang Nuan: "..."
Suddenly the cell phone rang, and Shen Yanshi picked it up. There was a faint sound of crying on the phone, and he frowned slightly.
"Wait a minute, I'll be right over."
He hung up the phone and stood up.
Xiang Nuan asked blankly: "What's wrong?"
"Something happened to Gong Nian, I'll go take a look."
Xiang Nuan tightened his grip on the knife and fork.
He suddenly remembered something and grabbed her wrist and dragged her up: "You come with me."
He pulled Xiang Nuan out and put him in the passenger seat. He then walked around the car to the driver's seat and started the car with a kick of the accelerator.
"What happened to her?" Xiang Nuan asked him.
Shen Yanshi looked at the car and the traffic ahead, his expression slightly condensed: "Her parents are planning to forcibly give her to an old man."
"Ah?" Xiang Nuan was shocked.
"The Gong family has been in decline over the years. After she divorced Wei Chengze, the Wei family also withdrew their capital. The Gong family is declining faster now. I guess her parents are anxious and want to sell her for resources."
Shen Yan's voice was cold, and Xiang Nuan felt his scalp numb when he heard it. What kind of family is he who can completely treat his daughter as a gift?
Shen Yanshi was silent for a moment and then said slowly: "My mother liked Gong Nian very much when she was alive and told me to take good care of her. No matter what, I can't ignore her completely."
Xiang Nuan looked at him blankly, that's why he took such good care of Gong Nian, that's why he rushed over as soon as possible when something happened to Gong Nian, and even took her with him when he visited his mother's grave.
It turned out to be just my mother’s instructions.
He was such a rebellious person, she thought he didn't care about anyone, but it turned out that he also listened to her mother's words.
But his mother has passed away.
Xiang Nuan lowered his eyes, suddenly feeling sore in his throat.
When Chen Yan saw her quieting down, he thought she was unhappy and looked sideways at her: "I didn't leave you on purpose before."
She said nothing.
He pursed his lips and said, "I will never abandon you again."
She turned to look at him and looked at him seriously: "I will never abandon you in the future."
His heartbeat skipped a beat due to her glaring eyes, and he looked forward with twinkling eyes without replying.
When the car stopped at the traffic light, he pressed the handbrake, unbuckled his seat belt, and suddenly leaned over to hold the back of her neck and kiss her hard.
"Well……"
Xiang Nuan was startled and pushed him quickly, but she couldn't push him. He bit her lips hard before letting her go.
"Why did you suddenly go crazy!"
He didn't sit back, but pinched the back of her neck and stared at her: "Don't hit me when I'm driving in the future!"
Xiang Nuan: "..."
This neurosis.
When the green light came on, Shen Yanshi sat back down and continued driving.
Ten minutes later, the car arrived at Gong's house.
Before I even entered the door, I heard Gong Nian's heartbreaking cry: "Mom and Dad, I don't want it! I beg you, don't do this. I really don't want to marry that old man, please let me go!"
Gong's father shouted angrily: "If you and Wei Chengze hadn't divorced, the Gong family wouldn't be in such a difficult situation now! I told you not to be willful, but if you insist on it, do you think you can get more if you are divorced? In demand? Now that Wei Chengze doesn't want you, and Shen Yanshi doesn't want you either, you still want to stay in the Gong family and be the eldest lady? You're dreaming!"
Gong Nian knelt on the ground and cried, shaking his head: "I don't want it, Dad, Mom! I was wrong, I beg you not to do this to me!"
The servant hurriedly walked in: "Third Young Master Shen is here."
Gong Nian's eyes suddenly lit up, as if he had grasped a life-saving straw, and he shouted quickly: "The banquet is here, he is here! Parents, look, he is here! He will not ignore me, I know he will not Will do!"
Gong Chengming's expression softened a bit, and Luo Zhengyun enthusiastically went to help open the door in person.
"The banquet is coming, why didn't you tell me in advance?"
Unexpectedly, when he opened the door, he saw Shen Yanshi and Xiang Nuan.
The smile on Luo Zhengyun's face froze. Although she had never seen this Xiang Nuan, she had heard of it. The news made a lot of noise a while ago, saying that she was the girlfriend of the Crown Prince of the Shen family.
Shen Yanshi pulled Xiang Nuan in and greeted coldly: "Uncle, aunt."
"During the banquet..."
Gong Nian's face was full of tears and he staggered towards him. However, when he saw the hands held tightly by him and Xiang Nuan, his steps froze.
She even caught a glimpse of the dazzling diamond ring on Xiang Nuan's ring finger.
