Chapter 390 - Let Me Propose to You
Louis Hills was like a crystal palace. It was extremely beautiful, as if one was living in a fairytale.
The VIPs gathered, shuttling around the banquet hall, chatting and exchanging gossip. They had no idea that Lu Qi’er was missing.
At this moment, the melodious wedding march sounded. A handsome figure appeared on the red carpet. It was Gu Mohan.
“Look, the wedding is starting!” The murmuring commotion quietened down instantaneously. Everyone shifted their attention onto the red carpet.
On the other end of the red carpet stood a delicate figure.
Everyone sucked in deep breaths, their eyes wide and stunned. They could not believe who they saw.
Tang Mo’er?
What was he trying to feed her?
Tang Mo’er guessed immediately that it had to be the antidote. She stepped back and her blank eyes saw nothing as she pushed him away. “Gu Mohan, you married Lu Qi’er to get the antidote for me, didn’t you? Do you really think I’ll take the antidote which you exchanged your body for? What do you take me for?”
“Mo’er, listen to me. There is no wedding between me and Lu Qi’er. Today’s wedding is our wedding, it’s just for me and you.”
Tang Mo’er’s pupils contracted. She thought of when she had tried on the wedding dress at Jinhua Palace, when he tried to make her call him her husband. The rose he gave her and the contraband goods at the airport…
Everything was planned by him to the most explicit detail.
He had never thought of marrying Lu Qi’er. The wedding was always meant for him and her.
All he wanted was to marry her, no other woman would ever come between them.
Everything happened so suddenly that Tang Mo’er did not know how to react.
At this moment, Gu Mohan kneeled down on one knee, taking out the One and Only ring. “Mo’er, may I propose to you now?
“I already prepared a script but I can’t remember what I wrote. This is my first time to propose to a woman, so I’m more nervous than I thought I’d be. At such an important moment, I don’t want to treat this light-heartedly.
“Mo’er, when we first met three years ago, I fell in love with you at first sight. If you ask me what I like about you, I like your intelligence and playfulness. I like it when you look dumb and indignant when you get bullied, I like your gentle smile, I like your grace, I like everything about you.
“Because I like you, I don’t ever want to part from you. I want to be in a loving relationship with you that will last longer than eternity. I want to make a promise to you for a lifetime because I like you. No matter how old we are, let’s never be apart until the end of time. I’ll always hold your hand and take you to the end of this world with me.”
A stream of crystal tears rolled down her cheeks like broken beads. She could not hold it in any longer.
Her delicate shoulders were trembling non stop as she burst into tears. Mr Gu had proposed to her.
Her Mr Gu.
It was so touching and romantic.
However…
“Y-You’d rather marry a beauty and not have your empire?” Tang Mo’er choked on her tears.
At this moment, Old Master Gu stood at the stairs. He was observing the happenings that were taking place on the red carpet. Hearing Tang Mo’er’s question, he gripped his walking stick even harder, waiting in anticipation for Gu Mohan’s answer.
Gu Mohan’s lips expressed a faint and calm smile. This question was significant as it would determine if he would lose the entire empire and wealth he had built up from scratch. His deep voice rang in everyone’s ears, “Mo’er, I’ve always wanted to tell you my answer. I can always rebuild my empire again, but once I lose the woman I love, she will be gone forever. Because of this, I don’t need the empire. The beauty is all I need.
“When you marry me today, I’ll be left with nothing. Mo’er, just give me three years. Whether is it the Gu family or the Lu family, they will only be a thing of the past. With my hands, I will build my own empire, I’ll be the wealthiest businessman in three years time. I promise you this.”
—- ‘Whether is it the Gu family or the Lu family, they will only be a thing of the past. With my hands, I will build my own empire, I’ll be the wealthiest businessman in three years time.’
Good, very good. This grandson of his.
At this moment, Old Master Gu gripped his walking stick even harder than before. As he looked at the man who was bent on one leg in front of the woman, his pale face revealed his extreme frustration and annoyance.
