1109: PA Wen’s Proposal

PA Wen’s Proposal

At the lobby downstairs, four players were sitting around the table playing mahjong: Mrs. Wen, Mrs. and Mr. Xiao, and Wen Tao. Mr. Wen didn't know how to play, and Xiao Yaojing sat beside Wen Tao to watch the gameplay.1

Even though Wen Tao wasn't very good at playing mahjong, he was great at card counting. He had to go through mind-twisting and intense gameplay, as not only did he need to feed the desired tiles to his future mother-in-law, but he needed to take care of his own mother too.

As the wise player on the table, Mr. Xiao could see that Wen Tao was trying hard to please everyone.

The verbal battle between Mrs. Xiao and Mrs. Wen was equally intense too.

Mrs. Xiao and Mrs. Wen were the biggest winners in this game, their winning money all from Wen Tao's pocket.

"I've never played mahjong before as I'm always too busy with work. Mom, Auntie, both of you play so well, you could meet up and play mahjong together next time," Wen Tao said, acting as casual as he could be.

Mrs. Xiao and Mrs. Wen were initially delighted because of their winning, but they rolled their eyes and huffed in irritation.

When both mothers had left, Mr. Xiao mumbled as he rose to his feet, "Great job in losing the game."

"Uncle, don't flatter me." PA Wen displayed his polite and elegant appearance, sending Mr. Xiao away with a smile.

After the four elders returned to their respective rooms, tranquility was restored around the lake. The peaceful ambiance was accompanied by a refreshing evening breeze and rather chilly temperature.

The mahjong tiles were still scattered on the table. PA Wen leaned on the chair and loosened his tie. If they continued playing, he had to bet with his life.

Xiao Yaojing watched her parents disappeared from her sight and quickly sprinted over and crashed into Wen Tao's embrace.

Wen Tao wrapped her waist tightly with his arm, preventing her from slipping off his body.

Xiao Yaojing reached over and wrapped her arms around his neck. Why was this man looking so handsome under the starry lights?

"Why are you so amazing at card counting?" Xiao Yaojing considered herself quite good at math, but there were times when she couldn't calculate the probability like this.

PA Wen gazed at Xiao Yaojing, who had a sweet smile on her face. Under the moonlight, her smiley eyes sparkled like two crescent moons, and even the stars were inferior to her beauty.

"You'd be surprised by the sudden burst of IQ when one is in a stressful environment," PA Wen remarked with a tone of great pleasure. He was delighted to see her so happy.

The remark triggered Xiao Yaojing into laughing an even happier laugh.

When Xiao Yaojing was laughing and complimenting PA Wen, he embraced her with one hand and he slowly took out the engagement ring with the other.

"Given that Gu Juexi has helped me today, I won't call him a monster in the future," Xiao Yaojing snorted. "Anyway, you still have to stay away from him because he's still a bad influence and—"

Before Xiao Yaojing could finish her sentence, a ring popped up in front of her.

The world was silenced at this moment. A hexagonal diamond shone like a star under the moonlight and she couldn't take her eyes away from the ring in PA Wen's hand.

PA Wen pushed Xiao Yaojing away gently and he knelt on one knee in front of her.

Xiao Yaojing stared at him the entire time and she couldn't even blurt a single word.

"Jingjing, it's been six or seven years since we've known each other. Although Lu Qichuan still concerns me, I don't want this rare opportunity to slip away from my hand. Jingjing, will you marry me?" PA Wen locked his sincere and affectionate gaze at Xiao Yaojing.

The mention of Lu Qichuan caught her by surprise. Why did he mention Lu Qichuan when proposing? What did Lu Qichuan have to do with this?

What's more, she realized the fact that she had never ever fallen in love with Lu Qichuan.
