Chapter 308
While they are talking in the private room, Tian Xin enters with a sullen face .
Without seeing Ji Muxian behind Tian Xin, Fu Zhengzheng has a sense of foreboding and asks at once: “Tian, where is Muxian?”
Tian Xin answers with a poker face: “Don’t mind him . Let’s enjoy ourselves . ”
“What’s up?” Fu Zhengzheng drags Tian Xin aside and asks in a low voice .
“Don’t ask . ” Tian Xin ignores her and tells the waiter standing nearby, “Serve dishes . ”
“Yes . ” The waiter nods while stepping out .
Sun Qiubo and Fu Zhengzheng look at each other and don’t know what to say .
He Menghuai looks at Yang Tao and asks confusedly: “We’re all off today . Why is Sergeant Ji absent? I’ll call him . ”
Tian Xin stops him right away: “You don’t need to call him . He is busy and can’t come here . ”
He Menghuai wants to say something but Sun Qiubo winks at him immediately . Although he is still confused, He Menghuai doesn’t ask anything more .
Knowing Tian Xin and Muxian won’t make peace in a short time, Fu Zhengzheng doesn’t meddle . She only keeps the business of Yang Tao and Lin Xiaoyue in her mind and tries her best to enliven the atmosphere . Sun Qiubo and He Menghuai love to join the fun . With their cooperation, the dinner is full of atmosphere .
During the dinner, Fu Zhengzheng sits on the left of Lin Xiaoyue . For fear that Lin Xiaoyue will take out the couple rings first, Fu Zhengzheng presses her hand secretly . But Yang Tao still doesn’t do anything after a long time, which makes Fu Zhengzheng very anxious .
After everyone’s wine glass is full, Fu Zhengzheng stands up with her wine glass, raises it to others and then says to Yang Tao: “You are the eldest among us . Please say something . ”
Sun Qiubo doesn’t understand Fu Zhengzheng’s meaning and thinks what she says is improper . Therefore, she pulls Fu Zhengzheng down and scolds: “Zhengzheng, you are not well-spoken . It seems that Yang Tao is like an old man . Don’t mention the age when we drink and have dinner together . Let’s just enjoy ourselves . ”
Fu Zhengzheng throws off Sun Qiubo’s hand and breaks in: “Yang Tao, don’t mind her . Say what you want to say . We’re listening . ”
Of course, Yang Tao understands Fu Zhengzheng’s meaning . He stands up slowly, looks around uneasily, casts his eyes on Lin Xiaoyue and reaches his hand into the pocket, but he doesn’t take out anything .
Sun Qiubo thinks Yang Tao is embarrassed by Fu Zhengzheng’s words saying he is the eldest, so she grumbles: “Don’t mind Zhengzheng . She is young . Sergeant Yang, cheers . ”
Fu Zhengzheng snatches Sun Qiubo’s wine glass and glares: “A big mouth . Can’t you listen to Yang Tao first?”
He Menghuai presses Sun Qiubo down with force and says quietly: “Sit down . Let’s listen to what Sergeant Yang wants to say . ”
Lin Xiaoyue seems to realize something . She opens her mouth slightly, but she doesn’t let out a sound . She seems restless apparently, and her flashing eyes are full of expectation .
Tian Xin raises the wine glass, drinks slowly and then looks at others speechlessly .
The private room becomes quiet at once .
Yang Tao clears his throat . When he sees others all staring at him, he can’t help swallowing back the words on the tip of his tongue, so he just smiles embarrassedly and drily .
“Go ahead . ” Fu Zhengzheng says lightly but anxiously .
“Xiaoyue…”
“Wait!” Suddenly He Menghuai rises and interrupts Yang Tao, “Sergeant Yang, the prop isn’t here . Wait for a moment!”
“What prop?” Sun Qiubo asks immediately .
Without responding to her, He Menghuai winks at the waiter, who takes the hint and steps out of the private room right away .
Sun Qiubo rolls her eyes at He Menghuai discontentedly and grumbles: “Don’t keep us guessing . ”
While she is saying, the private door is opened again . Yang Tao’s heart jolts, but unexpectedly Ji Muxian enters with a bunch of roses .
He Menghuai takes the roses immediately and passes them to Yang Tao while laughing, “Sergeant Ji, I was wondering why you didn’t come to such an important party . It turns out that you helped Sergeant Yang to bring the prop . ”
When Ji Muxian is about to open the mouth, Yang Tao says smilingly: “Muxian, thank you . ”
Then he turns around and gives the flowers to Lin Xiaoyue .
Ji Muxian turns around to look at Tian Xin, but she ignores him and walks to Fu Zhengzheng deliberately, away from him . He has to stand aside embarrassedly .
Lin Xiaoyue stands up and looks at the red roses in surprise: “Are they prepared for me?”

Yang Tao nods and just grins .
“Roses symbolize love . Sergeant Yang, how can she accept it if you don’t bare your heart? At least you must say I like you or I love you . ” Sun Qiubo urges him loudly .
Yang Tao flushes because of what Sun Qiubo said . He raises his hand, but he doesn’t let out a sound .
Lin Xiaoyue, who flushes too, holds the roses in her arms, lowers her head but doesn’t sit down .
Finding they both flush and can’t say anything, Fu Zhengzheng reminds immediately, “Yang Tao, if you can’t speak, show it with your action . Do you have another prop?”
Yang Tao smiles at others embarrassedly . Then he takes out a rectangular brocade box from his pocket and delivers it to Lin Xiaoyue .
“Xiaoyue, this…is for you . ”
“What’s this?” Sun Qiubo wants to snatch the box but is stopped by He Menghuai .
Fu Zhengzheng thought what Yang Tao would take out might be a small box . Unexpectedly, the box is so big . Apparently, there is probably jewelry such as a necklace inside it . She is puzzled, because she thought Yang Tao would propose to Lin Xiaoyue .
Lin Xiaoyue takes the box shyly and opens it, urged by others . It’s indeed a shiny necklace .
Yang Tao asks in a low voice: “Xiaoyue, will you marry me?”
Lin Xiaoyue quivers and looks at Yang Tao excitedly . Before she answers, Sun Qiubo who is next to her begins to complain .
“Sergeant Yang, your prop isn’t right . Who will propose with a necklace? Shouldn’t be a ring used to propose?”
Yang Tao smiles and says embarrassedly: “I planned to buy a ring, but the assistant of the jewelry shop said rings were in different sizes . I didn’t know the size of Xiaoyue . I was afraid she wouldn’t be surprised if I asked her, so I bought the necklace . I’m going to take her to pick a ring in the mall tomorrow . ”
Immediately Lin Xiaoyue takes out a box from her pocket and shows it to Yang Tao hurriedly: “I have bought the rings . ”
Sun Qiubo snatches the box first, opens it quickly and praises at once: “Wow, what beautiful couple rings!”
Tian Xin teases smilingly: “Xiaoyue, did you buy the rings for the proposal?”

Hearing that, others all laugh out . A flush spreads across Lin Xiaoyue’s face . Her head is nearly lowered to her chest .
Fu Zhengzheng begins to ease the situation at once: “They will be a couple soon . Who buys the rings makes no difference . There is nothing funny . ”
But Sun Qiubo grumbles: “Who can make sure they will be a couple soon? Yang Tao proposed just now, but Xiaoyue hasn’t formally agreed . ”
Fu Zhengzheng plucks at Lin Xiaoyue’s clothes quickly, signaling her to nod .
Sun Qiubo drags Lin Xiaoyue aside and says: “He hasn’t said anything sweet to you . How can you agree so easily?”
He Menghuai echoes: “Yes . Sergeant Yang, bare your heart to Xiaoyue right now . I’ll learn and then propose to Qiubo later . ”
“I don’t care about your proposal . ” Sun Qiubo looks sideways at He Menghuai with disdain .
“Be quiet . Be quiet . Listen to Yang Tao . ” Fu Zhengzheng signals others to keep quiet .
Yang Tao seems to call up all his courage . He grins at Lin Xiaoyue, rubs his hands and manages to say after quite a while: “Xiaoyue, I…love you . Will you marry me?”
Sun Qiubo shouts: “You should kneel down when proposing . ”
Lin Xiaoyue waves quickly: “He doesn’t need to . He doesn’t need to . I agree . I agree . ”
Sun Qiubo pulls Lin Xiaoyue discontentedly: “Xiaoyue, why are you not reserved? This proposal has no suspense at all . It’s boring . ”
“Well . Proposal is only a formality . ” Fu Zhengzheng drags Sun Qiubo aside and then shouts to Yang Tao: “Put on the necklace for Xiaoyue . By the way, put on the ring too . ”
Hearing that, Yang Tao puts on the necklace and the ring for Lin Xiaoyue at once .
Lin Xiaoyue touches the necklace and looks at the ring . Her face is written with happiness, but her eyes are full of tears .
Seeing her look, Yang Tao doesn’t know what to say and just wipes her tears pityingly .
He Menghuai pushes Lin Xiaoyue to Yang Tao’s arms suddenly and smiles cheekily: “What Xiaoyue needs most now is your hug . ”
“Kiss! Kiss!” Sun Qiubo shouts and Tian Xin also echoes .

But Yang Tao and Lin Xiaoyue separate at once . He just holds Lin Xiaoyue’s hand and smiles bashfully: “Well, it’s unnecessary . The dishes will be cold . Let’s have dinner first . ”
Sun Qiubo insists and goads him on purpose: “Sergeant Yang, Menghuai always says you are courageous and enterprising . But after I see you today, I think you are not so good as he said . ”
Fu Zhengzheng defends Yang Tao immediately: “In my opinion, the one that is courageous and enterprising is your boyfriend He Menghuai . Menghuai, how about proposing to Qiubo today and showing the process to Yang Tao and Xiaoyue?”
He Menghuai moves to Sun Qiubo right away and makes eyes at her: “Qiubo, may I borrow the couple rings of Sergeant Yang and Xiaoyue to propose to you?”
Sun Qiubo spits: “Pah! How poor you are! It’s common to borrow anything else, but I have never heard someone would borrow the rings to propose!”
At this moment, the door of the private room is opened once more . The young waiter enters with a bunch of roses and gives it to Yang Tao: “Sir, they are your roses . ”
Yang Tao is surprised and casts confused eyes to Ji Muxian .
Ji Muxian smiles embarrassedly, points to the flowers in Lin Xiaoyue’s hands and says: “That bunch of flowers is my gift for Tian . ”
“Ah? Sister Tian, I’m sorry . ” Lin Xiaoyue hands the flowers to Tian Xin instantly .
Tian Xin pushes the flowers back to her and says smilingly: “That’s all right . It’s good that the bunch of flowers can play such an important role . Take them . They are significant . ”
Then she glances at Ji Muxian, but her eyes are full of smiles this time .
Ji Muxian still looks calm . He sits down and tastes dishes on the table slowly .
When the dinner is about to begin, the restaurant manager knocks on the door and says that something needs Tian Xin’s opinion . Tian Xin goes out at once . Sun Qiubo and Fu Zhengzheng go out too . It turns out a guest is drunk and insists on a 20% discount .
“It’s not a big deal . I’ll deal with it . ” Tian Xin gives a plate of fresh fruit to Sun Qiubo, “Take the plate of fruit to Xiaoyue and others . I’ll order more dishes with Zhengzheng . ”
Sun Qiubo takes the fruit plate and then enter the private room .
After ordering dishes, Fu Zhengzheng holds Tian Xin and teases her on the way back to the private room: “Muxian has been tormented terribly . Do you become cheerful now?”
Tian Xin laughs: “Torment is necessary sometimes . ”
“You are so good at it . ”
When they walk to the door of the private room while talking and laughing, they hear the noise inside…Please download our sponsor's game to support us!
