Xu Nuan frowned when he stopped her and lazily turned to him and asked in a flat voice, " Now what? Do you want me to show my happiness by going on my knees?" 

  Her dull-indifferent voice made his lips curl into a sneaky smirk which she failed to notice. He clears his throat and asks,  " Aren't you hungry? I doubt you have eaten anything at the party." 

  Upon hearing his question, she remembered about the living-pitiful monster inside her stomach, growling for food. She placed a hand on her abdomen and frowned. 

  'Yes, I have to eat to live. I Can't drown in my sorrow and starve myself to death.'.

  " Don't worry. I will fix something quickly for you." He said to convince her to join him for dinner. His words made her feel his sincerity. 

  " Ah, then let me go and change at least." She wanted to go inside her unit and change into a fresh pair of pajamas and fix her makeup on the way but stopped upon hearing his words. 

  " No need. Just come in. I will cook something good for you real quick." 

  "OH!"

  Ah, who cares about proposals? It doesn't have to be a grand event, as long as he is there with me.' A smile appeared on her lips as she watched him from behind, punching password on his unit hurriedly. 

  However, a crease appeared on her forehead thinking about his behavior. Why is he so eager to bring her to his place? Don't tell me……strange thoughts started to run in her small head, which she only uses at work. 

  Has Mr. Han finally grown up? She bit her lower lip while trying to hide that sneaky smirk on her face as she thought about the ideas he might be having about her. How heavenly it would be if he could be a bad boy!!-

  When the door opened, he asked her to enter first as he needed to check his phone. She nodded and pushed the door open but was confused when she encountered the pitch-black, dark house. 

  "Why is there no light switched on? Haven't you paid the electricity bill?" she asked in confusion as she stepped inside while trying to open the flashlight on her phone to search for the switch.

  Clink. 

  Xu Nuan was startled when the eerie-darkness suddenly disappeared and replaced by the brightly lit up room, startling her and the extravagant set up came into her vision, making her lips open in awe.

  The rose petals were spread on the floor, making a flowering pathway for her. The red and white heart-shaped balloons were spread all over the floor, looking like a balloon flower-bed. There was a large bouquet of red roses placed on the glass table, with the wine placed inside the ice-basket.

  The clear, glass-yellow bulb strings were hanging along the walls, lightening up the room into something more romantic and passionate. 

  The house which had a classy-grey and white theme has been turned into a colorful, flower pathway and the house is filled with balloons. 

  As she was trying to get over this shock, a pair of hands approached her from behind and wrapped around her slender waist, making her squeal in surprise. 

  Her eyes widened in shock seeing his initiative and turned her head to face him. However, she gulped seeing his face so close to hers, his head was placed on her nape comfortably, however, she was not comfortable. 

  His actions have made her forget to breathe. His extremely charming-seducing gaze making her lips quiver in nervousness. 

  Is he really a first-timer? She doubts. 

  She didn't say anything, more like no words could make their way out of her mouth. The setup was beautiful, it was perfect to the point that she couldn't point anything. 

  Han Zihao saw her shocked expressions and snuggled into her nape making her wriggle under his grip nervously, " You think that I will be so inconsiderate to ask you out……just like that? Do you think that I am so lame to not know the basics of dating? Hmm?

  Xu Nuan felt her heart beating at bullet-trains speed, how can this man look like a royal vampire under the dim lights? Sexy and enchanting! Just kill her already, how can she bear his unbelievably handsome looks? Death is a better option! Although she has died once, it will be better than seeing him acting spoiled every day with his ethereal looks. 

  Her cheeks turned crimson upon hearing his low-whisper-like voice in her ears, making her turn her head away. What is this feeling? The tingling sensation in her body was rapidly increasing and her body temperature was rising dramatically, just like her accelerating heartbeat. 

  Seeing her blush like a cherry-tomato, his lips turned into a smirk as he stood straight and turned her around to face him. She blinked and looked at him in confusion.

  Han Zihao took both of her hands in his and looked into her deep dark brown eyes which she kept shy away from him, that's one of the rare actions of hers. She always looks into his eyes and it was him who tends to look away, but today the game has been reversed. 

  She is a girl after all. 

  He clears his throat to not distract himself from the topic and said, " Generally, men go on their knees in this setup. That's the tradition of proposals, you know."

  " However, I won't go on my knees, as I don't want to make you cry out of cringe." 

  "Pfft!!"

  He said with all seriousness, making her break out into a chuckle. However, seeing his jaws gritting and sensing his seriousness, she gulped and forced herself to not laugh and listen to his words seriously. 

  "I won't go around in circles, I don't know how to treat women well, but I am sure I can treat you right. I can assure you my loyalty, other than you, my eyes would not wander to any other girl."

  She pursed her lips upon hearing those words from him. The thing she was searching for in her relationship was trust and loyalty. After being betrayed once, she was tired of being cheated on, she doesn't want to be humiliated and feel inferior. 

  And his words hit the spot. Loyalty!! 

  " I can cook, clean, and do laundry. I am ridiculously rich as you can see, I have my own house, a villa, and a penthouse in the south city. I have some properties abroad as well, a car, and can buy more if you want."

  " I am the President of Han Corporations which is the reigning company in the country at the moment, I have a black card with no limit and the platinum membership of Jade hotel as well. You can eat whenever and whatever you want to eat."

  " You have seen my family as well, everyone likes you and doesn't care about anything as long as I marry a girl. Plus I am handsome and good-looking and have a muscular body……you can touch it if you doubt." He said while looking at her confused gaze. 

  Her lips twitched upon hearing his last comment. What a boaster. 

  "So……would you like to accept me as your boyfriend?" He asks while looking at her expectantly with his sparkling eyes, waiting for her response. 

  "……"

  Xu Nuan was speechless upon listening to his essay-long confession. What just happened? 

  She had a buffering moment as she was wondering if he was proposing to her or was boasting about his wealth and achievements? He was simply showing off his richness without calling himself rich. 

  His words pressed on the sore part of her when he listed all of his wealth. She had to let go of all of her wealth sadly and here he was mentioning everything one by one as if they were nothing for him. 

  How lucky!!

  " Hmm?" He squeezed her hands softly that he was holding and looked at her nervously, waiting for her response. 

  She licked her lips that had turned dry and asked in confusion, " Well, are you confessing to me or asking for marriage?" She was really confused, rather than proposing, it looked like he was giving a presentation about himself. 

  Well, that's so……like Mr.Han. 

  His lips curled up upon hearing her question. "What do you think?" The counter-attacked her while looking at her with a mischievous smirk which got her all flustered. 

  Why is he f*cking handsome? She could feel her hands trembling that he was holding onto. The feeling of being flustered in front of someone, the sensual tension in the air, it was her first time experiencing all this. 

  The first relationship that she had was more like a friendly, boss-artist relationship. They were barely together, she was with Qin Ju but there was no spark between them. She could have stayed without seeing him for 2-3 months. 

  At that time, she used to think that as long as they work well and their personalities match, they will be fine. The definition of love that she had at that time, was different from now. 

  This time, she wants to do all the stupid-cringey things and wants to spend all the time that she has with him. The separation of this last week made her realize how much he means to her, the moments when she couldn't see him, there was an empty feeling inside her making her think of him every time she eats, sleeps or even in dreams, he was everywhere. 

  She didn't say anything and stared into his eyes that were looking at her expectantly. A smile blossomed on her lips as she tip-toed and….
