Chapter 1220  : Xia Yehua’s Marriage (15)

Qiao Lian was slightly disappointed by his reaction.

She had thought he would have at least said something about the topic, but…

After Shen Liangchuan left, the rest of them somewhat lost interest in continuing the discussion. Besides, Xia Yehua had expressed her wishes of not having a wedding, so it looked like the event was off.

But throughout the evening, the atmosphere was lively and happy in the villa.

Xia Nuannuan had not fully recovered. Furthermore, because Shen Zihao had been more deeply impacted by Shen Xiu and Mei Feng’s actions, he had not gone to work. Instead, he had been spending leisure time at home with Xia Nuannuan.

After dinner in the evening, Qiao Lian went back into her bedroom.

It was only at 11 p.m. that she heard the sound of the car engine coming from outside.

She got up, opened the bedroom door and walked out. Shen Liangchuan was striding in.

As he came in, he lifted his head and steadily looked at Qiao Lian.

Then he quickly walked upstairs.

She stepped forward and asked, “Have you had dinner? It’s late, why was it so busy at work today?”

He did not answer these questions and merely grabbed her arm. He said, “Xiao Qiao, come with me.”

He led her back to the bedroom.

The puzzled Qiao Lian, who was firmly ushered into the room, turned around to look at Shen Liangchuan questioningly. He shut the door behind him and turned back to her. Then, like a magician, he held out a very small jewelry box.

The packaging obviously hadn’t been put together with too much care.

Qiao Lian looked at the case with a puzzled expression as Shen Liangchuan said, “Open it and take a look.”

Qiao Lian was curious now.

What rare treasure could there be in such a regular jewelry box? Or was it…

A little excited, she reached out for the box and slowly opened it.

The very moment her gaze fell on the inside of the gift box, her eyes turned bloodshot and she almost broke down in tears.

She already had a hunch that something was up when Shen Liangchuan came home late, and the moment he did so, he had ushered her upstairs in such a hurry.

And even before she had opened that case, she had wondered if there was a ring in it.

She was right.

But even so, she was overjoyed.

Because the ring was similar to the couple ring that Zhou Yu and Xiao Qiao had in the video game.

Except that where the original ring had a small gemstone on top, there was a diamond. The exquisite ring was glittering prettily. Her heart overflowed with emotions just looking at it.

Every beautiful memory from their youth seemed to be embodied in the ring she held in her hand now.

As she lost herself in these thoughts, the box and the ring were suddenly taken away.

Stunned, she saw Shen Liangchuan’s tall and large frame take a step back. The next moment, he bent his slim leg and got down on one knee. He raised the ring and slipped it onto her finger.

His magnetic and attractive voice said the following words, “Xiao Qiao, marry me.”

Xiao Qiao, marry me.

That had been Zhou Yu’s line in the game. The dubbing in the game had a humorous and relaxed tone to it, but Shen Liangchuan had said it with such seriousness that her eyes turned moist with tears at once.

She stared at the ring before her with a lost expression. Biting her lip, she finally nodded.
