Su Yue had a shrewd hunch that Xuxu already knew that the man was Ming Ansheng.
If Third sister-in-law could recognize him, others would be able to too. She was feeling so frustrated and anxious that she couldn't bother dwelling with other things.
Xuxu frowned and pressed on, "But Jiao Chen is downstairs. Even if you don't want to meet him, you still have to tell him."
"Okay." Su Yue agreed and said, "I'll call him."
She bent to take her phone.
Xuxu suddenly stretched her hand to grab her arm."Why are you calling him? He is already downstairs. Can't you just tell him in person?"
Su Yue murmured and agreed with little thought. She then left the room in her pajamas.
Xuxu watched her leave with a worried look.
...
"I heard that Jiao Chen is planning to propose to Su Yue."
"Propose? Don't be ridiculous!"
"It's true! Jiao Chen brought a whole truck of roses here."
"Really?"
Su Yue reached the second level and overheard some girls gossiping.
Jiao Chen came here to propose to her? With a truck of roses? Su Yue momentarily froze before rushing down.
When she stepped on the last step, she glanced straight ahead and she froze in shock.
The gorgeous guy was standing there, wearing a suit, with a bright smile on his face. He had a hand stuffed in his pocket while the other was holding a huge bouquet of red roses.
She had no idea how long he had been standing there, surrounded by curious onlookers. He appeared calm and unruffled, looking like a noble and gorgeous prince who had just come out from a fairytale.
Su Yue was stunned.
Someone nudged her gently and said, "Su Yue, Jiao Chen is waiting."
It was someone she didn't know.
Su Yue snapped out of her daze and nodded, looking overwhelmed. She took big strides towards the door.
She opened the door and a gust of cold wind blew at her. It made her cheeks rosy.
Strands of hair stuck to her cheek, but she didn't bother with it. Her fingers nervously clenched her clothes.
She walked towards the boy who had a warm and tender smile on his face.
The crowd grew in size but no one was dumb enough to block Su Yue's path. Su Yue walked to Jiao Chen and raised her head, peering at him.
"Jiaojiao?" She was so confused.
She knew that Jiao Chen wasn't the type of guy who would do romantic gestures for a girl. They had known each other for quite some time before they went on their first date yesterday.
Furthermore, he had only given her snacks as gifts.
Today, he appeared so suddenly with a bouquet of roses. And he even wore a suit. She was completely at sea.
Her scandal had spread like wildfire. Didn't he read it? Wasn't he mad that another guy had kissed her?
Her third brother would flare up if that annoying Professor Zhao so much as sneak a peek at her third sister-in-law.
"I forgot to get this yesterday."
Jiao Chen presented the bouquet to Su Yue without any mushy words. There wasn't any touching profession of love—it was merely an honest confession...
He forgot to get it yesterday.
'Should guys buy flowers on a first date?' Su Yue repeatedly blinked her eyes, unable to comprehend this at all.
She stretched her hands to receive the roses.
She was about to bow her head when Jiao Chen's voice interrupted her action."Sorry, from today onwards, I will never kiss you secretly in such dim places again."
Jiao Chen had said something bewildering to Su Yue. The next moment, he wound his hand around Su Yue's waist, while the other held the back of her head. His soft lips came crushing on hers.
