Chapter 1367: Chapter 1360: The Proposal is Underway (18)

Afterward, Lu Weixi bent down and picked up the ring.

Qin Zhiyou was bewildered; he indeed intended to propose to her today when he asked her out. But now, before he could say anything about the proposal, she had seen the ring. What should he say next?

Lu Weixi didn’t say a word either, just pinched the ring, her expression murky and indecipherable.

The air suddenly turned exceptionally quiet, and neither of them spoke.

After a long while, Lu Weixi clutched the ring tightly in her hand, neither putting it on nor throwing it away, but gave Qin Zhiyou a cold glare, then turned to walk away.

Qin Zhiyou promptly called out: "Xixi."

But Lu Weixi ignored him and headed to her bedroom.

Qin Zhiyou knew that Lu Weixi was angry. Although they would eventually marry for the sake of the child, their relationship was quite delicate. All the goodwill that had been so hard-won, how could it possibly break at this moment? He immediately went after her, grabbing her hand. Lu Weixi, of course, was not having it and shook it off, but Qin Zhiyou caught her again.

Lu Weixi was indeed furious. She had known for a long time that Qin Zhiyou had bought this ring, yet he never showed it in front of her. Today, before she was asked out, she clearly saw he had prepared the ring.

Despite having browsed through so many marriage proposal posts online the night before and having fantasized about how Qin Zhiyou would broach the subject with her. Particularly when someone actually proposed in a revolving restaurant, setting off fireworks – she couldn’t help feeling envious as she stood by.

However, in reality, if Qin Zhiyou simply pulled out the ring, put it on her finger, and said "Marry me," she guessed she would have nodded in agreement. All those so-called surprises and arrangements didn’t matter as much as him saying that one line.

But he didn’t speak, just secretly held the ring at night, what on earth was he planning? Wasn’t he usually as brazen as a bandit? Or was it that he actually didn’t want to marry at all, and it was merely because of this child? Or was he going to give the ring to someone else?

Qin Zhiyou wanted to keep her there, but she wanted to leave, and the two started arguing in the little space in front of the bedroom. Though they tugged back and forth, neither of them spoke up, silently facing off against each other.

It wasn’t until a cough came from the room of Lu’s mother next door that Qin Zhiyou finally whispered, "Let’s not disturb mom; she just fell asleep."

Lu Weixi retorted: "Who is causing a disturbance? It’s you; if you leave, there will be no problem."

Her words were harsh, but her resistance was not as forceful, ultimately still worried about waking her mother, she was dragged by Qin Zhiyou into the bedroom and the door closed.

Once inside, Lu Weixi regained her composure, coldly broke free, walked a few steps, sat at the edge of the bed, and asked lightly, "Speak, what is it?"

In the past, Qin Zhiyou seemed arrogant, stealing his brother’s girlfriend, taking over the family assets, and never showing respect to his mother and elders. In the company, he was decisive, still involved with female celebrities even after marriage, and never compromised even when fined by his grandfather.

But in reality, he always struggled to express his inner feelings. Like his feelings for Lu Weixi, he dared not verbalize to this day. He treated her poorly in the past, made many mistakes, all because he feared that she would learn of his true feelings, not only remaining unloving but also sneering secretly. It seemed as if once spoken, something of his would be held in the palm of her hand, kneaded and shaped at her whim.

But now, he couldn’t keep silent.

Qin Zhiyou mustered his courage: "Xixi, I want you, marry me."
