Childhood Sweethearts: He's Jealous Again!
Chapter 552: Accept It

Chapter 552: Chapter 552: Accept It

Tong Mo was also startled and quickly said, "Li Zijue, why are you kneeling? It’s not Chinese New Year."

"..." Hearing this, Li Zijue instantly felt a vein pop, his face nearly turning as black as the bottom of a pot.

Even Mrs. Li couldn’t help but twitch the corner of her mouth, thinking to herself, could this girl be an idiot? She was old enough to see that her son was proposing to her, yet this girl thought he was simply kneeling for the sake of it.

Mrs. Li wasn’t the only one speechless; others were also wordlessly staring at Tong Mo.

"Get up quickly!"

Seeing that everyone was looking at them, Tong Mo hurriedly bent down to pull Li Zijue up.

But before she could help him up, Tong Mo saw him take a ring box out of his pocket.

Then he opened it.

Li Zijue lifted his narrow, dark eyes, looking at her with a serious tone he said, "Momo, marry me."

The reason he had brought her back to the party was exactly to propose to her in front of everyone.

He wanted those who looked down upon her, those who insulted her, to never dare underestimate her again.

"Ah?"

Tong Mo didn’t expect him to propose to her, and at that moment, she was completely stunned.

So the important thing he mentioned was a proposal?

"What are you ’ah-ing’ for, answer him quickly," Tong Aiguo was nearly beside himself with urgency, almost wanting to grab the ring from Li Zijue’s hand and put it on her finger himself.

Tong Mo finally snapped back to reality.

She looked down at the man kneeling on one knee, her heart fluttering slightly, and instinctively reached out her hand, saying, "I do."

The tension in Li Zijue’s expression vanished in an instant, and he promptly lifted the diamond ring to put it on her finger.

After placing the ring on her finger, he immediately wrapped his arms tightly around the young girl.

"Momo, I am so happy."

He buried his chin tightly in her hair.

He finally understood why he hadn’t found any woman appealing before; it was because he was waiting for her.

The girl who had caught his interest from the very first glance.

"Me too."

Tong Mo’s voice was slightly choked up.

She had been unlucky since she was young, with her mother becoming vegetative, her father remarrying, her stepmother being malicious, and her stepsister even more so.

But she had met the best man in the world.

It just showed that fate was the fairest of all.

Seeing how loving the two kids were, Mrs. Li was overjoyed in her heart, and hastened to say, "Since the proposal is done, you two should hurry and register your marriage. I’ve even prepared the plane tickets for you."

Originally, when Mrs. Li saw the photo of Tong Mo living with a "strange man," she thought the marriage was off, but she wasn’t expecting it to come back to life. Without delay, she pulled out two plane tickets to Country W.

"Thank you, Mom." Li Zijue immediately

"Thank you, Auntie," Tong Mo followed up.

"What Auntie? It’s time to start calling me Mom," Mrs. Li said with a smile.

Perhaps because the girl was the one her son liked, Mrs. Li also became a lot softer.

Tong Mo felt somewhat embarrassed and awkward for a while before she finally called out "Mom."

"Yes!" Mrs. Li responded, simultaneously slipping a black card from her purse into her hand, "Good child."

Tong Mo scratched her head, uncertain whether to accept it, so she looked to Li Zijue for guidance.

"Take it," Li Zijue understood what she meant and immediately nodded.

Only then did Tong Mo securely accept it.

In the distance, Tong Nian watched the affectionate couple and almost ground her teeth in jealousy.

Damn it!

So infuriating!

No way, the position of Viscount Li’s wife should be hers; how could it go to Tong Mo!
