Chapter 429: “I sure hope they would know better than have any ideas.” (2)

After dishes were done, Shu Yan poured out a couple of red wine, went over to the patio, and handing it over to Feng Zeyu. It was still a bit rural around them and they couldn’t see any other lights. They could, however, see a sky full of stars. That was a scene that could not be seen in City Nan dozens of years from now.

Under the starry night, the two randomly chitchatted. Shu Yan’s cheeks were red and she was already a little drunk.

Feng Zeyu could hold his alcohol but he wasn’t intoxicated from the alcohol right now; he was intoxicated from the person. He looked at Shu Yan and fished out a jewelry case from his right pocket.

“Happy birthday.”

“Haven’t I already received my birthday gift?” She thought the flowers, the cake, and the meal that Feng Zeyu had prepared for her was already her birthday present.

“Of course not. Open it up and see if you like it.” Feng Zeyu took a sip and was a little nervous.

Shu Yan’s heart pounded when she took the jewelry case over. Could it be a ring? They had only known each other for a little over a year. Would they be rushing it if she was to accept Feng Zeyu’s proposal now? Would her children be alright with that? Opening up the jewelry case, it was a very pretty diamond necklace inside. Shu Yan couldn’t quite describe her feelings right now. Perhaps she was a little bit bummed.

“Let me help you put it on.”

Shu Yan had already had two glasses of red wine and, when she was about to have her third, Feng Zeyu stopped her.

“You really will be drunk if you drink any more and you will get a headache tomorrow.”

Looking at Feng Zeyu, Shu Yan stroked the pendant and chuckled, “Earlier you…… I had thought It was a ring inside and that you will get down on one knee and propose to me when I open it up.”

Feng Zeyu felt that he needed to explain himself when he heard Shu Yan said that.

“I’m a silly person and don’t know anything about a pleasant surprise. I even went to consult a friend what to do for your birthday. He told me that I should laid down flowers in front of our office building on this day and propose to you. Truth be told, I was very tempted to do so but I worry be too abrupt and that it will scare you. Yanyan, I like you. I mean I really, really like you. I very much wish that you can be my wife but I don’t want to put any pressure on you.”

Shu Yan looked at him and her eyes sparkled. “If you like me so much and want me to be your wife so badly, then why aren’t you proposing right now?”

Feng Zeyu looked at Shu Yan happily and got down on one knee. He pulled out another jewelry box from his right pocket. Inside was a ring that was a set with her necklace.

“I thought you said you weren’t going to propose, so where did this ring come from?” Shu Yan felt that she had been tricked. Even her head had cleared up some.

“I did mention that I was very tempted at his suggestion so…… I couldn’t help but buy the ring also when I was shopping for your birthday gift. I figured it will come in handy one day even if it isn’t today.” Feng Zeyu got down on one knee and looked at her sincerely. “Yanyan, I am not one who is good with words. I, Feng Zeyu, solemnly promise that Shu Yan will be the only woman that I will be fond of in this lifetime and I will treat the two children as though they are my own. Will you marry me?”

Shu Yan chuckled and reached her hand out. “Alright, I guess I will marry you then.”

Feng Zeyu put the ring on Shu Yan with his hands shaking.

Both of them were a bit dazed when they woke up the next morning. Shu Yan didn’t think that she would have said what she said and Feng Zeyu didn’t think that he really had proposed and that Shu Yan had said yes.

The two exchanged a look and Shu Yan pulled the blanket over her head. Alcohol always causes troubles! How could she be that drunk from just a few sips of red wine??
