An Xiaxia never considered the possibility that this had been arranged by Sheng Yize . She sighed in amazement . “I like it, but whose fireworks are those? It’s such a waste of money . All those fireworks must be worth a lot of crayfish…”
Crayfish, crayfish… can you forget about crayfish for a minute?!
Sheng Yize fought back his urge to explode and played along . “You’re right . That’s so wasteful . ”
Heh .
He wasn’t going to tell her now that he was the one who had ordered all those fireworks .
The mood was dampened a little after that . An Xiaxia emptied her plate first, then moved on to stealing Sheng Yize’s steak .
Sheng Yize gave her a wistful look . “Xiaxia, haven’t you had… a little too much to eat?”
An Xiaxia gazed at him with teary eyes . “So… you don’t want me now?”
Sob… she should never believe anything men said . She only ate a little more than usual and he was giving up on her…
“… I don’t want you to have a stomachache, that’s all . ”
“I won’t… I’m not full yet . ”
Seeing the aggrieved look on her face, Sheng Yize gave up . He waved his hand at her and said, “Go ahead . ”
He could afford it, no matter how much she ate .
After gobbling down a third of the steak, An Xiaxia finally put down her knife and rubbed her belly . “It feels so nice to have a full stomach . ”
Sheng Yize smiled . “It’s going to get better . ”
“Huh?”
He clapped his hands and a waiter, who had been waiting for the signal, walked out with a multi-layered cake on a trolley . In the center of the cake were two figurines, of a knight kneeling before a princess .
And the knight was holding a ring .
An Xiaxia was still trying to figure out if the ring was edible when Sheng Yize went up to her, knelt down on one knee, and held up an identical ring .
It was a shiny, exquisite and beautiful diamond ring .
An Xiaxia sat there dazed . Sheng Yize’s deep, pleasant voice then rang in her ears . “Xiaxia, are you listening to me?”
“Ah… yes!”
Sheng Yize cleared his throat and gazed at her . The love in his black eyes was beyond all doubt .
“I met you for the first time at six in Sunset Town .
“At seven, we began to live together and you became my only childhood sweetheart .

“We were separated for nine years when I was eight .
“I met you again when I was 17 and I moved into your house .
“We became a couple when I was 18 . I loved you, very much .
“At 26, we fell in love again, we got married, and we had Cola and Pepsi . I’ve always loved you . That has never changed . ”
An Xiaxia listened in a daze and didn’t even realize it when tears welled up in her eyes .
Sheng Yize held up the diamond ring . “Xiaxia, will you marry me?”
Many said that women tended to focus on formality and were more emotional by nature .
They might have a point .
Although the proposal was to make up for the lack of a wedding ceremony, An Xiaxia’s face was still streaked with tears . She broke into spasmodic sobs as she said, “Hm… yes . ”
Sheng Yize smiled, the tear mole under his eye looking all the more mesmerizing .
He took An Xiaxia’s hand and put the diamond ring on her finger .
It fit perfectly .
The fireworks were splendid outside while a loving tune played inside .
Sheng Yize rose to his feet, raised An Xiaxia’s chin, and kissed her on the lips .
An Xiaxia’s eyelashes quivered and she closed her eyes, letting Sheng Yize have his way . She then wrapped her arms around Sheng Yize’s neck, which pleased him greatly and prompted him to deepen that kiss . An Xiaxia could barely take it in the end and she slumped in Sheng Yize’s arms . Her eyes were glassy and she gasped for breath .
Sheng Yize’s voice was husky when he said, “I don’t think I’ll be able to stop myself tonight…”
