Chapter 316 – Someone that she had no expected showed up. (2)
“I want to… really give it some thoughts,” said Yan Shuyu weakly.
Her intention was to drag it out as much as she could. Boss Zhou might not have been fooled by that, but he still responded with an “okay.”
Yan Shuyu was very happy. The boss must really be head over heel over her, to not be mad at her even after this.
Nevertheless, now was not the time to be complacent. Remembering all the eyes that were locked on the two of them Yan Shuyu felt a headache coming on again. She couldn’t help but passed the buck over to the boss and asked him in a low voice. “But with this whole grand gesture, if I say I need some time to think it through, would that make others think that we are over?”
Even though she wasn’t the one who was rejected, but she was protective of the boss. She definitely wouldn’t want the usually arrogant boss to be embarrassed in front of all of her friends.
Besides, rumors can be powerful. The boss might be okay with her turning him down right now, but what if he regretted one day and wanted to break up with her over this?
Yan Shuyu might feel stuck between a rock and a hard place, but that was not an issue when it came to the shrewd boss. He suggested wisely, “Then why don’t you put it on your middle finger first so others would think that we are engaged. We can set the date whenever you make up your mind.”
Yan Shuyu hesitated for a little bit and, even though she felt that something was off about that suggestion, she couldn’t come up with a better one on the fly. As such, she finally nodded and said, “Alright, put it on my left hand then.”
She had heard that when it came to wedding band, the men would wear it on their left hand and the woman, right. So putting it on her left hand would mean that this proposal was nullified.
Naturally, Zhou Qinhe saw through her little gesture but, instead of commenting on it, he grinned with her in his arms.
Even though the two of them discussed the strategy out of their current situation right under everybody’s noses, nobody else had noticed it. When the couple were good looking, even if they were just hugging each other, they exuded fluffy aura. Some of them might have noticed the movements of Boss Zhou’s lips as though he was whispering something, but they didn’t give it too much thoughts. Of course he would need to whispering some sweet nothing during a proposal. How else could one move a girl? In fact, that was totally Boss Zhou’s style.
When they learned that he planned to propose publicly and pull out the ring and get down on his knees in front of Yan Shuyu, all of the audiences were shocked. They even had questions in their mind as to why Boss Zhou would want to have such a grand gesture. That was very unlike him.
When they saw him whispering into Yan Shuyu’s ear without anyone hearing a word, the audiences actually let out a sigh of relief. Boss Zhou was Boss Zhou after all, they thought to themselves. The formality was one thing; but only the female lead could listen to the true words from his heart.
The crowd, who were confident that they had Boss Zhou figured out, were no longer anxious when they saw his whispering so much to Yan Shuyu. In fact, they all waited for the final happy ending with anticipation.
The boss and Yan Shuyu did not let the crowd wait for too long. They had talked a lot, but only a minute or two had passed. Once they have agreed on a strategy, the boss let go of Yan Shuyu gently and Yan Shuyu also took a step from him. Then, her left hand was lifted up gently and the pigeon-egg was sparkling on her middle finger.
The little buddies, who had been waiting for a while, even pulled out colored ribbons to celebrate this moment.
Even knowing that she wasn’t truly engaged, Yan Shuyu could still feel her heart throbbing madly. It was, after all, her very first time being proposed to. And, it was such a grand gesture no less. Of course she was very touched by it.
