Chapter 858 - Kneeling to Propose
The West Duke, Tang Chenyi, was the Emperor Star.
Jun Xiqing nodded. “Elder Sister, even if the West Duke is the Emperor Star, why should I keep my distance from him?”
“Because…” Jun Xiyan’s voice trailed off.
“Because of what? Elder Sister, are you all keeping something from me? Did that High Priest who came to our house predict something about my fate?”
Jun Xiqing sighed. She could not keep the truth away from Qing’er, but no matter how intelligent Qing’er was, she was clueless when it came to matters of romance.
That High Priest did indeed leave a prediction regarding Jun Xiqing’s fate, but she could not be told about this.
“Qing’er, don’t ask about this again. You just have to listen to me and stay away from Tang Chenyi.”
Lin Xuanji looked down and saw a diamond ring nestled in his palm.
The diamond ring was sparkling brightly.
He had kept it in his trouser pocket, and now he was going to put the ring on her ring finger.
Lin Xuanji promptly curled her fingers and clenched her fists to prevent him from putting the ring on her. “Lu Jinwen, are you proposing to me?”
“Are you deaf or blind to ask the obvious?” Lu Jinwen replied in a displeased manner.
“…”
Only Lu Jinwen could propose marriage in such an arrogant fashion. Why was she even surprised?
Lin Xuanji wanted to retract her own hand. “Lu Jinwen, do you know how to propose? You need to kneel on one knee to propose marriage.”
Kneel?
Lu Jinwen looked at Lin Xuanji with knitted brows and said in conceit. “I’m not kneeling.”
He had never knelt before in front of anyone and he was definitely not going to do it now.
“Forget about it then.” Lin Xuanji withdrew her head and turned around to leave.
She had just walked one step when the man blocked her way. “Lin Xuanji, if you still do not marry me after I have knelt, you’re dead!”
Lin Xuanji, “…”
She had heard similar words before but she was still living perfectly well.
At this moment, the man hunched his tall and handsome body to kneel on one knee. “Lin Xuanji, marry me. Let’s live well together for the rest of our lives. I’ll make it up to you doubly for the love that we have lost all these years. Marry me and be my Mrs Lu!”
With that, he pulled her hand and wanted to place the diamond ring on her finger.
But Lin Xuanji did not let him do so.
Lu Jinwen’s handsome features suddenly became grim. This Emperor was kneeling for the first time in his entire life, and even though he was kneeling, his imposing presence and haughtiness was still able to garner respect from others. He stared at Lin Xuanji. “What do you mean?”
Lin Xuanji stood up slowly and looked at Lu Jinwen. “Although you’ve knelt before me to propose, I still need to consider.”
Lu Jinwen pursed his thin lips. “Then consider right now!”
“Oh.”
Lin Xuanji did consider it seriously. Two minutes had passed… and she was still considering, and Lu Jinwen was still kneeling.
At this moment, there was a flurry of footsteps. Jun Mosheng had arrived.
Lu Jinwen had also seen his rival in love. His countenance was grim at letting his rival see him kneeling to propose marriage.
“Have you finished considering?”
“I’ve thought about it and I can’t accept your proposal.”
“What did you say?” Lu Jinwen stood up promptly. “Damn it, Lin Xuanji, you are not accepting my proposal and you still asked me to kneel for so long?”
“Lu Jinwen, how can you be so confident that I would marry you? After all, you are a man who was once married.” Upon saying that, Lin Xuanji smiled. “I asked you to kneel because I want to see you do it.”
