Chapter 1111 Blooming Flowers and a Full Moon (1/2)
As the flames rose to the sky, people saw it clearly and were shocked. They started to
discuss it fervently:
”Was that a declaration of love? Has someone proposed?”
”Oh my God, that's amazing! I can't believe it!”
”Who did that? That's brilliant, we can see it clearly from one hundred meters away.
How big can that fire be?”
”I am going to pass out. How much money has the guy spent on this? Tell me, what rich
man is playing the romance tactic?”
Everyone, including Sophie and her family, peered out. Li Du stood up and smoothed
out his clothes.
When the words had formed from the flames, Sophie and her parents turned back to
look at Li Du, surprised. Li Du's parents could not read the letters and did not
understand what was going on but turned to look at him as well.
Li Du got down on one knee, looked up and smiled. He snapped his fingers and Brother
Wolf walked over with a small box. Li Du opened the box to reveal a pair of rings inside.
The engagement ring had the shape of a flower. The ring face looked like a blossom. It
was formed by a few petals around one diamond, which had been cut into a round
shape.
”Miss Sophie Martin, from the first time I met you, I had fallen in love with you. I have
loved you ever since. However, I feel that it is still not enough. I want to spend my life
with you. Would you be willing?” Li Du held his head high and asked.
Sophie was still immersed in shock after seeing the flame on the sea when Li Du began
to confess his love for her. Tears instantly welled up in her eyes.
From the time Li Du's parents arrived in Los Angeles, Sophie had already prepared
herself for Li Du's proposal. However, she did not think he would make such a large-
scale event. It was well beyond what she had expected.
Hearing Li Du's words, other guests in the restaurant realized what was going on. They
started to cheer and clap enthusiastically. Many people stood up to get a better look at
their table, clapping and smiling.
Mr. Thomas was very proud. Smiling, he said, ”Sophie, I can tell that this guy has long
been in love with you. The first time I met him, he was looking at you the same way your
mother does…”
Mrs. Martin held onto his hand, and the two of them turned to look each other in the
eyes warmly and meaningfully. Theirs was a relationship that had withstood the test of
time and held strong.
Sophie placed her hands over her nose and mouth. Then, she pulled Li Du up and
reached out to hug him. Choking on her tears, she said, ”Of course, I want nothing more
than to spend the rest of my life with you. There is so much to do, so many more places
for us to go together.!”
The clapping and cheering went on and many people raised their phones to take a
video or photos. The restaurant had no choice but to mobilize all their service staff to
calm everyone down.
Someone called out to Li Du, ”Good lad, that was a good one. This proposal is the
priciest one I've ever seen!”
”But that thing on the sea, how was it done? By pouring the fuel in the sea ahead of
time? That can't be possible, the tide is strong. How could the image stay intact with the
strong waves?”
”There must have been a boat towing the fire line. Jesus, isn't that too dangerous?”
”You had better ask, isn't that too expensive?”
That was what Mrs. Martin was curious about too. She asked, ”How did you do that?
Just now at the sea, that is too…”
Li Du replied, ”It's a sort of fast submarine. The two submarines were underwater, and
then the fuel was vaporized continuously through the pipeline. A sample of the
handwriting was created ahead of time. The model could spray oil and gas. That's the
principle of how it was done.”
The restaurant guests guessed right. That was very expensive. Li Du had spent fifty-five
thousand US dollars just on that part of his plan.
