Chapter 124 - Marry Me
A pair of hands suddenly wrapped around her waist and a masculine chest pressed tightly against her back.
“What are you thinking?” Ye Hao rested his chin on her head.
He Xiyan knew that he had returned. She turned around to hug him and placed her face against his chest out of habit.
“I didn’t take the pill.” She said in a small voice. She was still slightly worried.
Happiness had come so quickly that she was afraid that she would wake up to find that everything was all a dream.
Ye Hao looked at her and his gaze was like the moonlight outside, passionate and hazy.
“I know.” He patted her back. Then he scooped her up and placed her on the nearby sofa.
He Xiyan spotted an exquisite box on the table. There was a clear logo on the box and she recognized it as the logo of a famous jewelry designer company.
Ye Hao brought the box over and the box opened after he entered a passcode.
The jewel in the box gave off a dull blue light that was both dreamy and mysterious.
“This is for you.” Ye Hao took out the jewel in the box.
This was a set of accessories crafted from the rarest blue jewel known as the ‘Star of Asia’ and this was a privately customized set so there was only one of it in the world. It included a necklace, ring and a pair of earrings.
He Xiyan was stunned. She looked at the jewel he held in his hand.
She was not familiar with jewels but she could tell from its beautiful luster and unique design that it must have been extremely expensive.
There were many stones that were of the highest purity inlaid around the jewel. The light from the stones and the blue jewel were both dazzling and brightened up this dim room considerably.
Ye Hao moved to stand behind her and carefully clasped the necklace around his neck.
He Xiyan shrank back and bit at her lips. She did not say anything but her heart was filled with warmth.
She looked at this man and her heart raced as she watched his every move.
Next, Ye Hao took out the ring from the accessory box. He did not utter a word but lifted her left hand and left a gentle kiss on the back of her hand.
He Xiyan was shocked.
“Ye Hao…” She called out his name and knew what this signified. Was he going to….
Ye Hao nodded and a small smile danced on his lips as though he suddenly recalled something.
He suddenly got down on one knee and looked up at that blushing woman.
“Marry me, He Xiyan!” He said sincerely.
The hand that Ye Hao held was trembling and she turned away nervously as her heart raced.
He had proposed. He had truly proposed to her.
“Ye Hao…” She called out his name again. Then, the next moment, this ring was slipped onto her fourth finger.
He Xiyan stared at the shiny ring on her finger and bit her lips nervously, unable to say anything but she reached out to hug the man in front of her.
They slept very late that night as well, unable to stop themselves from making love.
In the morning, after they rose to eat breakfast, the housekeeper sent Wang Lan and Menglin, the two maids to tidy the room.
The two maids were clad in the customized maid uniform and were both very young. They were not even 23 years old. They couldn’t stop yawning as they carried the bedsheets and quilt covers. This castle had spoilt them with all its good food and lifestyle, so they did not feel like working.
“Menglin, what is wrong with Housekeeper Lu? Wasn’t it agreed that we would change the bedsheets once a week? These bedsheets were changed just yesterday, so why do we need to change them again?”
