CHAPTER 398: CHAPTER 398: I LOVE YOU (172)

"Sister." Long Tianjiao looked at her, "I’m happy for you and brother-in-law too. Sister, short hair really suits you; it looks even prettier than long hair."

Long Fengxi raised her hand and smoothed the top of her head, "Then I’ll stick with this hairstyle from now on."

...

As night fell, the nightlife began.

The three of them drove to the Emperor Palace together.

Upon reaching the pub location, they were surprised to find a couples’ event in progress.

The so-called couples’ event involved standing on stage wearing masks and speaking heartfelt words to one’s significant other. The couple receiving the loudest applause won a grand prize—a pair of couple’s rings valued at 8888 yuan.

The three found a sofa to sit on. Since Long Fengxi couldn’t drink alcohol for the time being, Lu Youyuan and Long Tianjiao each ordered some drinks.

"Sister, are you signing up? I see quite a few people have registered."

"I’m going to sign up." Lu Youyuan had just stood up when he was caught by Long Fengxi, "I’ll take this opportunity."

She went to register their names and got a queue number.

Deep down, Lu Youyuan was extremely excited, not knowing what Long Fengxi would say to him.

This was something Long Tianjiao was also really looking forward to.

The bar filled with more and more people, and gradually all the surrounding tables were taken. The place was teeming with life, and it looked like the night would be quite lively.

With so many people and the air circulating, it felt hot.

Long Fengxi took off her windbreaker, revealing an oatmeal-colored long sweater and black over-the-knee boots.

Meanwhile, Lu Youyuan was essentially dressed as her partner.

He also wore an oatmeal-colored sweater, black pants, and black shoes.

The two, hand in hand, and Long Tianjiao watched the first person on stage, wearing a half-mask, make their love declaration.

The sentimental background music set the mood in the room flowing.

Long Fengxi’s number was very far back in the queue.

So she was in no hurry at all.

Nor was she nervous.

Even if she did nothing but listen to others summarize the things they wanted to say to their other halves, she found it far from boring.

By the time it was Long Fengxi’s turn, it was already nine o’clock.

"Now, let’s welcome contestant number 90, Little Xixi, to the stage."

A burst of enthusiastic applause.

Long Fengxi didn’t wear a mask because she thought they looked awful. Instead, she draped a white scarf across her face and tied it behind her head,

Unlike the others who had prepared speeches, she went on stage empty-handed.

Standing in front of the microphone, Long Fengxi naturally adjusted its height.

The accompanying music was exceptionally tender.

"Originally, my boyfriend wanted to come up here, but I stopped him. I told him to give me this chance because there’s a lot I want to say to him." Long Fengxi’s gaze was fixed on Lu Youyuan in the audience.

"Expressing thanks between boyfriends and girlfriends seems polite, but I truly want to thank you from the bottom of my heart. When the devil reached out to me, the helplessness, pain, and suffering almost crushed me and left me choking. When I was about to fall through the ice, you reached out and pulled me back to shore. When I was all alone, you took my hand and gave me strength. You understand me, tolerate me, care for me, and encourage me. You warmed my cold heart. Every day with you is comfortable and joyful. It feels like with you by my side, there is nothing to fear, and the future no longer seems frightening."

Her eyes gradually became moist, "I am 26 years old this year. It’s not too old, but not too young either. Now I have made a decision in my heart. From now on, I want to go into the second half of our lives hand in hand with you. I want to lead a simple and warm life with you. That’s why a few days ago, before returning to the country, I picked out our Wedding Rings without you knowing. My dear, I am willing to marry you. Will you marry me?"
