Chapter 180: Chapter 180 Tender Proposal_1 Chapter 180: Chapter 180 Tender Proposal_1 When she clearly saw the two characters formed by red candles in the sea of flowers, her eyes instantly widened in shock!

It really was—

She stared in astonishment at the bright clusters of small flames, her heart overflowing with a thousand words!

Was it a coincidence, or—

She turned her head in bewilderment, looking toward the calm and elegantly poised Mu Yingchen at her side.

Mu Yingchen was also looking sideways, his eyes full of mirth as he gazed at her astonished face.

“Beautiful, isn’t it?”

Her pupils dilated once more. Could this really be his doing…

When Mu Yingchen took the stunned Wanxia up to the stone platform, her heart was already trembling, beyond words.

On the vast circular stone platform, two hearts formed from red roses snuggled closely together.

At the very edge of the heart, little flames flickered brightly, and amidst the vast expanse of roses in the center, clusters of bright yellow flames spelled out a line of large characters: “Wanwan, I Love You!!!”

A faint cold breeze blew, the flames swayed from side to side, leaped up and down twice, then shined even brighter.

She gazed dreamily at the beautiful and magnificent scene before her, her heart quivering even more!

Just a moment ago, she had been looking forward to such a romantic proposal, but when Mu Yingchen pulled her up, she felt a rush of fear and withdrew.

She was afraid—afraid that he would say those three words, “marry me,” to her; she was even more afraid to see his hurt and disappointed expression.

“Proposal!”

“Proposal!”

“Proposal!”

Cheers rose from below, everyone’s faces filled with expectation and envy.

And because of their egging on, they drew more and more onlookers to the square—

As the crowd grew, so did the noise, but those cries for a proposal were like knives to Su Wanxia’s heart.

Deep within her heart lay a line, one she could never cross—a line that represented an insurmountable red warning!

The clamor from the crowd was deafening, while the platform lay in utter silence. The stone stage was not high, just four or five steps above the ground, so the onlookers could see everything on the platform quite clearly.

Seeing Mu Yingchen’s inaction, the crowd’s chants became even more fervent.

Mu Yingchen looked at the conflicted Su Wanxia, a trace of heartache crossing his heart; she had endured too much already. From now on, he would share the burden with her.

He led the still-dazed Wanxia two more steps toward the center, and a bunch of red roses nearly as tall as a person suddenly appeared before her—

Waves of fragrance passed through her nostrils, infusing into her heart. It really was so fragrant…

Without any hesitation, Mu Yingchen reached into the heart of the flowers and took out something that was shining brightly. Without any warning, he knelt on one knee in front of her!

She watched him in utter astonishment: “You—”. The word slipped out, but she didn’t know what else to say.

The crowd immediately let out a cheer, and after the cheer, someone loudly said to the two on the platform: “A perfect match, truly meant for each other…”

“Indeed, indeed.”

Hearing the voices of the people below, Mu Yingchen’s lips curved into a beautiful smile.

Gently, he took Su Wanxia’s hanging right hand, his eyes deeply gazing into hers, which were now slightly red, he spoke softly, “Wanwan, I know this may feel sudden to you, but for me, I’ve been waiting for this moment for 6 years.”

“From the moment you first entered my sight, we were fated to be entangled for life…”

Su Wanxia was already choking up, unable to speak; she struggled to hold back the tears welling up in her eyes, her heart quivering uncontrollably.

“No matter why you left 6 years ago, I don’t care. All I care about is you; I just want to be with you forever—”

As soon as he mentioned 6 years ago, Su Wanxia’s tears became unstoppable, spilling out of her eyes.

6 years ago—such a long time ago—

Back then, she had thought of being with him forever, clinging to him for life, having him love only her for life, and spoiling only her.

Loving her flaws, indulging her willfulness—

But what she hadn’t expected was that happiness would leave her without any warning.

It wasn’t about leaving him for just a moment, but for a lifetime, and she didn’t know how long a lifetime was, she only knew that every day without him was torture.

Yet she couldn’t end this torment, because she couldn’t let down her parents!

She couldn’t 6 years ago, and neither could she today, 6 years later!

Once tears broke the dam, they flowed like a flood, unstoppable.

Mu Yingchen, looking at Su Wanxia like this, felt even more heartache.

“Wanwan, marry me, let’s be together!”

This one sentence made her, with tears streaming down her face, happily curl up the corners of her lips.

This one sentence, did he know how many times she had fantasized about it?

The onlookers, witnessing such a touching and romantic scene, immediately started to stir up again.

“Accept!”

“Accept!”

“Accept!”

“Wanwan, don’t think about who I am, and don’t think about who you are, all you need to see is that the person standing in front of you is me, just me alone.”

Mu Yingchen’s voice was magnetic and gentle, with a natural seductiveness that made Su Wanxia unable to help but be enchanted by him.

She stared intently at his captivating obsidian-like eyes, the tenderness within them so deep, so concentrated, that she couldn’t help but immerse herself in it.

Don’t think about who he is, don’t think about who you are—

It was as if a voice in her heart kept echoing nonstop: Do you love the person in front of you? Do you love the person in front of you?

Love! She did love!

She didn’t just love him, she also wanted to marry him!

A strong impulse suddenly sprang up in her heart, like poison, it instantly took over her nerves, and she abruptly moved her fingers.

This movement excited Mu Yingchen beyond words; his eyes lit up suddenly, and his heart bloomed like a flower, slipping the diamond ring onto Su Wanxia’s ring finger without a second thought.

The ring was the perfect size and slipped on smoothly, the bright diamond reflecting dazzling light with Mu Yingchen’s movements.

Su Wanxia suddenly felt a coolness on her finger and was shocked as she looked down to see Mu Yingchen’s hand moving away, and a delicate and beautiful diamond ring already tightly worn on her slender ring finger.

Her eyes widened in disbelief at the ring on her finger.

This scene was something she couldn’t accept—

She couldn’t accept that she had just had such a selfish thought.

She couldn’t accept even more why she had allowed Mu Yingchen’s actions.

How could she do that?

No, no, she couldn’t—

Her mouth opened to say sorry, but Mu Yingchen had already stood up and, somewhat uncontrollably, embraced her.

“Wanwan, I’m so happy, you finally agreed to marry me, I’ve waited too long for this day—” Mu Yingchen said excitedly in her ear, his voice laden with too many emotions she dared not acknowledge.

She closed her eyes; her heart was trembling, nearly stopping its beating, and her hands couldn’t help but clasp together!

What should she do? The excitement and joy in his eyes really made her unable to bear shattering them!
