Chapter 685 No one saw us (2/2)
'Are they back yet?”
”Are we too late? Did we miss them?”
Suddenly, another wave of voices calls out from behind and Grandfather Ji turns to look at them. Not only him but so did Ji Jingxu, Madam Lu and Old Lu. The only one who did care was Inu.
As it was Liu Shan, Lu Han, Xu Long, and Lin Hui. They were the second to arrive, but just as they climbed down the stairs, more figures appeared from the parking lot.
”We're here too!”
This time, it was Yue Ling's design team, Lu Tian's Wolf Team, the Zhao family, Zhong Yang, and Housekeeper Hu, along with Nie Chen, Ting, Liangcai, Ye Fei, and Xue Yi.
However, due to there being too many of them, all the subordinates decided to wait in the parking lot as they can still see down to the lake.
”Ah! I see them! I see them!”
Zhao Ya'Er stood next to Xu Long and exclaims when she spotted the wooden boat coming closer to the deck. She waves both her arms out in the air and grins from ear to ear.
”Yue-Yue! Yue-Yue! Over here!”
Her voice fell and like everyone felt her energy, each person couldn't help but howl in cheers again at the two people in the boat.
Lu Tian calmly rows the boat as Yue Ling watched the glowing lanterns float further and further away. She will engrave this moment deep inside her heart and never forget as every year, she will light a lantern for her child.
When she heard the joyful cheers again, she turns to look at the deck. She inhales a mouthful of air in surprise as the lamp posts were turns on and she could see everyone.
Lu Tian had said it to their family and subordinates, but she didn't expect it to everyone.
However, she sighs a soft smile and wanted to cry but held herself back.
The first time Lu Tian proposed, it was only the two of them, but tonight, they were able to share this moment with their loved and cherished ones.
”Yue Ling.”
Lu Tian calmly calls her name and a look of hesitation dawned on him.
”About out engagement… Do you… What I mean to say is, do you want…”
He pauses in his words and frowns. For someone who always knows what to say, why is he having such a hard time now?
”I was wondering, do you…”
He pauses again and his frown deepens. He tries to think of how to say what is on his mind.
Yue Ling watched his struggles with his words. She chuckles and decides to help him out.
”I don't mind if the world knows.”
Lu Tian's entire being went stiff before it gradually turns soft. He smiles subtly at her and couldn't thank the heavens enough for letting him meet her.
She is the only person who knows what is on his mind. However…
”Are you sure? Once the news is released, there's no going back. Even if you want to call it off, I will be stubborn and never let you go.”
Yue Ling didn't expect this kind of response from him. It was comical in one way, yet serious in another.
She chuckles with her shoulders trembling and looks back at the floating lanterns.
”I am sure. As long as you have me in your heart, it is good enough for me.”
Lu Tian's ears turned crimson red out of happiness, but due to the darkness, she or no one else was able to see. He smiles bashfully and continues to row the boat with a satisfied smile.
”And my heart belongs to you, along with my body and soul.”
