Reborn As Super Heiress

Capítulo 1509: Chapter 1493: Till the End of Time

Faced with such sudden big news, the reporters were stunned. When they came to their senses, they started snapping photos frantically. Even though they were separated by an LED screen, these reporters didn’t mind at all, capturing close-ups one by one, with the sound of flashlights filling the entire venue.

However, amidst this bizarre proposal scene, no matter how noisy the outside world was, the two people involved seemed completely oblivious.

Separated by the LED screen, they looked into each other’s eyes, seeing only one another.

With Gu Xu kneeling on one knee, Huo Sining’s eyes were brimming with tears. She could no longer bother with so-called elegance and solemnity. At such a moment, the people and things around them all became the backdrop.

At this moment, the whole world seemed to quiet down, leaving only the person in front of her, with features like a painting and a love as deep as the ocean, full of tender affection.

With a smile on her lips, Huo Sining didn’t directly answer Gu Xu’s question. Instead, she tilted her head playfully and asked, “Do you know who the person I wanted to mention on stage just now was?”

Gu Xu froze upon hearing this. At that time, he was too anxious. Seeing Windsor Caesar propose to Huo Sining before he could, he couldn’t care about anything else, just urging Yu Fei to hack the award ceremony computer quickly and didn’t have the mind to listen to what Huo Sining was saying on stage.

Seeing Gu Xu in a daze, Huo Sining ignored him and continued, “I told the host outside that at this event, I wanted to take the opportunity to announce something important.”

“I said, although this person is not here today, I still have something I want to say to him.”

“Last year in Dongyang, I once told this person to wait for me until I turned twenty.”

“But this person is a bit stupid. I’ve already turned twenty, and he hasn’t made a move.”

“I can’t help it. I thought if the mountain doesn’t come to me, then I will go to the mountain. I even prepared to propose to this person myself after the award ceremony, even if it meant losing face, because I really like him and want to marry him.”

“Meeting him too late, I don’t want to hesitate any longer. God let me meet him in this life, it must have been planned long ago. A reincarnation from a past life, destined by fate, I’ve already decided to surrender unconditionally to him.”

Hearing Huo Sining’s words, Gu Xu was completely dumbfounded. Happiness came too quickly, and for a moment he couldn’t react, feeling like he was dreaming.

“Honey, are you… are you serious?”

Huo Sining gazed deeply at the screen, with her smile half real and half teasing. “What if it’s true or what if it’s false? Didn’t you mess it all up anyway? I hadn’t even finished speaking, and you cut the power to the sound system. Is that how you handle things?”

Gu Xu’s expression became a bit awkward, stammering as he explained, “No, I was just in a hurry. That foreigner was trying to steal the show right in front of me. It was so infuriating, I…”

“Alright, alright, no need to explain!” Huo Sining impatiently waved her hand.

Seeing this, Gu Xu’s heart sank. Not good, it seems his wife was angry. He quickly softened his tone to coax her, “Honey, I didn’t mean it, really. How about I go back and let you say it again?”

“Say it again, say it again, your head!”

Huo Sining couldn’t help but roll her eyes at Gu Xu, frustrated.

“Weren’t you the one who said you wanted me to marry you? Proposing across a screen, what’s that about? Got the courage but not the guts? If you have the nerve, come up on stage and propose!”

“Honey…” Gu Xu, seeing Huo Sining’s flustered look, knew that she was feeling embarrassed and at a loss.

Indeed, Huo Sining felt a bit uncomfortable, especially since Gu Xu had disrupted the WGC award ceremony, making it known to everyone. She could already imagine the strange looks from familiar people when she returned home. Just thinking about it, she wanted to find a hole to burrow into.

Thinking of this, Huo Sining felt a mix of shame and anger, and her rage was directly transferred to the culprit here. Unable to hold back, she looked up and said irritably:

“Weren’t you proposing and wanting me to agree? Alright, I can agree, as long as you appear in front of me within ten seconds, I will agree to marry you!”

Upon hearing this, Gu Xu was stunned for a moment, then a strange smile appeared at the corner of his mouth: “Honey, are you serious?”

Huo Sining didn’t know Gu Xu had already come to Las Vegas. Seeing Gu Xu hack the computer at the award ceremony to propose, she naturally assumed he was somewhere back home. So she thought to challenge him with this proposal.

“Of course, it’s true. I never lie. If you have the ability to fly over here, I’ll start the countdown now. Ten, nine…”

Huo Sining started counting seriously, while the person on the big screen reacted almost instantly. He threw away the flowers in his hand, grabbed the box with the ring, and started sprinting towards her. Almost instantly, the figure on the screen disappeared.

For a moment, Huo Sining was in a daze, but still continued counting out loud: “Four, three…”

Before she finished the last count, she saw a dark figure rushing towards the stage. With lightning speed, he enveloped her in his arms.

A familiar and scorching breath came upon her, with Gu Xu’s strong arm tightly encircling her, his firm chest pressed against her, breathing slightly heavy, and his heartbeat like a drum.

“When… when did you come to the Gambling City?!” Huo Sining was already speechless, realizing she had been tricked by this man. Her face was flushed with embarrassment and anger, unsure how to react.

Gu Xu didn’t answer Huo Sining’s question, continuing to hold her tightly. It was only after a full minute that he released her, staring at Huo Sining with bright eyes, and whispered with a sigh:

“Nine seconds, honey, you have to keep your word!”

Without waiting for her reply, he took out the diamond ring and placed it directly on Huo Sining’s middle finger, kissing her finger forcefully, looking at her with bright eyes, “Once we go back, we’ll head to the civil affairs bureau. I’ve already made an appointment to put you on the Gu Family’s household registry. Only then can I be at ease.”

Originally, Huo Sining was still annoyed, but hearing Gu Xu’s domineering but sincere words made her laugh. She couldn’t help but chuckle, looking at the dazzling diamond ring on her hand, filled with mixed emotions. As she furrowed her brows and lowered her head, tears uncontrollably fell.

Turns out, there really are fairy tales in this world.

She thought she was destined to be alone, never expecting that there was truly a time and place where forever awaited her, making her journey through two lifetimes worthwhile. As Gu Xu said, it wasn’t a bad thing.
