Chapter 952 - 951 Mian Ge: As long as I am willing to work hard, everything can go according to plan

Chapter 952: Chapter 951 Mian Ge: As long as I am willing to work hard, everything can go according to plan

Chapter 951 Lu Mian: As long as I work hard, everything can go as planned

A delightful surprise.

Completely unexpected.

A sense of unwavering belief in the future and a flood of happiness overflowed from deep within.

Lu Mian hid her hands behind her back a bit more, gazing into Xiao Qimo’s deep eyes. The spark and electric collision between their gazes made her lips curve into a beautiful smile.

That smile softened her features and gentled her demeanor.

Lu Mian gestured discreetly toward the second floor with her hands behind her back.

Little Sansan immediately received the signal, and a wilting emoji popped up on the display board.

Ah, never mind, it had no choice but to take a break for now.

Lu Mian hadn’t expected Xiao Qimo to kneel so quickly and so abruptly. Had he been just two seconds slower, she might have already brought out the thing she’d been hiding behind her back.

Everything happened so fast, completely different from Lu Mian’s plans, catching her off guard.

While she was momentarily stunned, Xiao Qimo raised his head to look at her, his voice tense but resolute as he coughed lightly and asked gently yet firmly, "Professor Lu, can you answer a few questions with yes or no?"

Lu Mian blinked, momentarily distracted. The man’s magnetic "Professor Lu" lingered in her ears, its familiarity and intimate tone looping endlessly.

The blend of familiarity and ambiguous intimacy made her blush as she lowered her eyes.

She nodded, "Okay, ask away."

Xiao Qimo paused for a moment, "Silicon dioxide only dissolves in hydrofluoric acid at room temperature, right?"

A simple chemistry question.

Lu Mian tilted her head, her mischievous and spirited gaze tinged with a smile, "Yes."

Xiao Qimo smiled warmly and added, "Just like how I dissolve only in you."

"Wow!"

Ye Jinwen let out an exclamation, recording the scene while giving him a thumbs-up.

"Seventh Bro, that confession is killer!"

And that "Professor Lu," it’s inexplicably affectionate and endearing!

The other "cameraman" Xiao Jianli nodded with satisfaction. Aside from his grandson being momentarily slow to react earlier, his performance today was overall pretty decent.

Yun Sang scraped the floor with the tip of her shoe, letting out a "tsk."

Xiao Qimo earnestly continued, "The square of sine plus the square of cosine will always equal 1, right?"

The crowd erupted in cheers again. This time, a math question!

Lu Mian lightly nodded, "Yes."

Xiao Qimo slightly smiled, "Just like my love for you, steadfast and unwavering."

"Wow~~"

The friends and family instantly let out excited cheers.

No one had ever seen Xiao Qimo like this before. It was the first time they witnessed him so candidly and straightforwardly express his emotions.

Mo Fan and Mo Nie’s eyes practically glazed over.

Was the charming and romantic Master Mo standing before them the same aloof and ruthless Master Mo they knew from before?

Had their Master Mo been swapped out?

"This is fine," Mo Si shook her head, "That’s because you haven’t seen how romantic Miss Lu was when she confessed in the snow!"

Mo Fan and Mo Nie hadn’t seen it.

They couldn’t imagine how the free-spirited Lu Mian could be so romantic.

But to them, what Master Mo did today was already impressive enough.

Xiao Qimo asked another question, "Professor Lu, I’d love to attend your classes—from chemistry to physics to biology. Is that okay?"

The young people’s expressions instantly turned strange.

Aside from Xiao Jianli, who was upright and proper in his thoughts, everyone else’s minds instantly hopped onto the fast train.

Biology class, huh...

Tsk tsk tsk.

Lu Mian pondered.

Xiao Qimo suddenly swallowed his nervousness.

With the unpredictable moves of Lu Mian, she wouldn’t say "no," would she?

If she did say no, this whole situation would turn ice cold.

Lu Mian tilted her head, seriously considered it for a moment, and nodded reluctantly, "Yes."

Xiao Qimo deliberately ignored her unwilling expression—what mattered was that she agreed.

But what Lu Mian was thinking at this moment was—

Her biology knowledge wasn’t as strong as her chemistry and physics. She might not be able to teach Chief Qimo...

After all, Chief Qimo was quite brilliant himself.

Xiao Qimo didn’t mind Lu Mian’s little thoughts. He extended the ring further, taking advantage of the momentum as he asked, "Professor Lu, would you marry me?"

His voice was gentle and rich, his gaze filled with affectionate patience. He knelt on the ground, sincerely and nervously waiting for Lu Mian’s response.

Lu Mian instinctively covered her mouth.

When people are joyfully surprised, they often make this gesture.

"Ahhhhhh..."

"Oooooooh..."

Crispy screams erupted from the friends and family group, primarily from Ye Jinwen and Mo Si.

"Say yes! Say yes! Say yes!"

Ye Jinwen rallied the crowd to cheer together.

Movies taught him that whenever there’s a proposal, the group should cheer to support the groom. Then the girl would tearfully accept the bouquet and wear the groom’s ring amid applause.

"Zero, join in and shout!" Ye Jinwen urged Ya Ling.

Ya Ling had seen through the situation from the start and replied perfunctorily, "Mhmm."

Everyone’s eyes focused on Lu Mian.

The young woman tucked stray strands of hair behind her ear under their expectant gazes, nodding firmly.

"Yes!"

"Aaaaaaaa——"

Ye Jinwen immediately erupted into excitement, almost morphing into a shrieking gopher.

Yun Sang shot him a disdainful look, thinking to herself: If she weren’t his sister, he wouldn’t possibly understand the feeling of having his precious cabbage taken by a pig.

He inwardly sighed, reminiscing that he used to be good buddies with Xiao Qimo himself.

Even Xiao Jianli shared in the joy, holding his phone and constantly recording the wonderful moment.

Xiao Qimo carefully slipped the particle ring onto Lu Mian’s ring finger.

Ye Jinwen murmured to Ya Ling, "The gemstone on my seventh bro’s ring—it’s gotta be worth at least 100,000 M dollars, resembling a black diamond!"

Though he wasn’t as wealthy, buying a pigeon egg-sized ring for Ya Ling was still within his means.

He was determined—he’d learn a thing or two about proposals from seventh bro after this.

Just look at how perfectly this proposal went!

He’d even managed to win over someone as unpredictable as Lu Mian!

While everyone was joyfully celebrating Xiao Qimo’s successful proposal, Lu Mian helped him off the floor, tilted her head, and suddenly asked, "Chief Qimo, is it my turn now?"

The group: ???

Confused and bewildered, the entire venue fell silent.

As everyone stared at Lu Mian in a daze, they watched as the elegant young woman suddenly dropped to one knee and brought out the item she’d been hiding behind her back.

A unique bouquet was presented in front of Xiao Qimo.

Xiao Qimo: ...

The group: ...

What the heck is happening here?

Xiao Qimo had thought his swift proposal had secured the script—but he’d forgotten that Lu Mian could take it back...

He glanced down at the sincere and beautiful young woman kneeling before him, watching her lips move as she asked.

"Chief Qimo, will you marry me?"

Xiao Qimo froze completely.
