My Youth Began With Him

“Forget it… I don’t want to talk about this right now.”

Right now, Su Yu really didn’t have the courage to aggressively chase after Huo Mian. After all, she was still getting over Qin Chu’s disappearance, while she was pregnant with the latter’s children.

Yes, she was fragile, but he didn’t want to take advantage of her current state. Therefore, going with the flow seemed to be the best option at the moment.

If they were meant to be, one day they will be. If they weren’t meant to be, he would never have a chance with her, even if Qin Chu was really dead.

He knew Huo Mian way too well…

After a while, Zhu Lingling got up and went to the bathroom.

Seeing this opportunity, Huo Mian immediately turned around and took a brocade box out of her purse, passing it to Gao Ran.

“What is this?” he asked, obviously surprised.

“A diamond ring,” Huo Mian replied faintly, leaving Gao Ran and the others flabbergasted…

Why was Huo Mian giving a diamond ring to Gao Ran? Was she proposing or something?

Jiang Xiaowei quickly came to her senses, “Mian, do you want Gao Ran to propose to Lingling?”

“That’s why I like you so much, you know me so well!” Huo Mian said as she put her arm around Jiang Xiaowei’s neck.

“Um… propose?” Gao Ran repeated, not sure how to react.

“Don’t you want to?”

“Of course I do… but this is too sudden, I don’t have anything prepared.”

“I’ve got you covered,” Huo Mian said as he pointed at the ring in the brocade box.

Tang Chuan, feeling nosy, shuffled up to them and glanced at the ring, “Sh*t, this ring is at least 3 carats.”

“Wow, that would cost at least 500,000 yuan. How rich are you, Dr. Huo?” Wei Liao gave Huo Mian a thumbs up.

“Um… this is too expensive, I can’t afford it,” Gao Ran’s family worked in the government, but they weren’t as rich as businessmen, nor did they have so much cash on hand. Therefore, he was surprised to be presented with a 500,000-yuan diamond ring.

“It’s my gift to you guys… use it to propose to Lingling.” Huo Mian glanced at Gao Ran, who felt awkward as the pairs of eyes stared at him in anticipation. “B-b-but, I don’t have flowers either…”

“Oh, don’t worry, I got you.” Tang Chuan took out a small bouquet of red roses from one of the vases in the room. He stuffed the bouquet in Gao Ran’s hands with a smile on his face, “Bro, what else do you need? We have everything…”

Gao Ran held the bouquet in one hand and the diamond ring in the other, feeling like everything was happening so suddenly…

Yes, he had been wanting to marry Lingling, and even proposed to her. But she said she didn’t want to get married until Huo Mian got pregnant.

Now that Huo Mian was pregnant, he couldn’t bring up the topic again because of what happened to Qin Chu.

To his surprise, Huo Mian brought it up for him…

While he hesitated, Jiang Xiaowei suddenly lowered her voice, “Get ready, she’s back.”

As soon as she finished this sentence, Zhu Lingling opened the doors of the private room.

Tang Chuan pushed Gao Ran right up to her; Zhu Lingling looked at the ring and flowers with a confused expression. “What’s going on?”

Before Gao Ran could say anything, Huo Mian stood up and walked up to them with a smile on her face, “Miss Zhu Lingling, do you take Mr. Gao Ran as your lawfully-wedded husband, to have and to hold, from this day onward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, until death do you apart?”

“Mian, what kind of prank is this?” Zhu Lingling thought Huo Mian was pulling her leg.

Tang Chuan even began humming wedding music…

In her confusion, Zhu Lingling saw Gao Ran slowly open the brocade box in his hand and knelt down with one leg. He looked at her ever-so-gently and said, “Lingling, let’s get married. Marry me.”

“F*ck…” In her state of surprise, Zhu Lingling spat out a swear word…
