  Lu Yinan really came back. Xuxu soon realized that he had left his coat in the restaurant.

  He strode towards them and Zhou Shuang stole a glance at him.

  Looking nonchalant, Lu Yinan replied airily, “What are you looking at? I’m only back to get my coat.”


  Zhou Shuang’s heart had already softened when he left. However, she became riled up once more by his attitude. “If you weren’t looking at me, how did you……”


  “Merry Christmas.”


  Zhou Shuang stopped in the middle of her retort when Lu Yinan whipped out a red square box from his pocket. He placed it before her on the table before opening it.

  It was a beautiful, sparkling apple-shaped diamond ring.

  He had indeed spent effort on this present.

  Any other woman who had just received a diamond ring would naturally be surprised or touched. Even if the woman didn’t like the man.

  Zhou Shuang was no exception. She stared blankly at the ring before turning to gaze at Lu Yinan. She seemed at a loss for words for a really long time.

  Xuxu and Yan Rusheng were equally shocked when Lu Yinan took out the ring.

  It had never crossed their minds that Lu Yinan had spent so much effort.

  Both of them fell silent and their expressions were similar as though they had communicated through telepathy. They sat there, looking politely curious and interested, waiting for Zhou Shuang to respond.

  “The diamond is a little small.”


  Su Yue blurted out and caught everyone by shock. Her remarks always had this effect.

  Su Yue’s words shattered the silence, as Zhou Shuang was still too shocked to have any response.

  Xuxu and Yan Rusheng were speechless.

  Lu Yinan’s good-looking face turned as black as charcoal. His eyes gleamed with a murderous aura at Su Yue.

  Su Yue appeared innocent. She quipped, “But it’s still acceptable. It’s Christmas Eve and what a coincidence that the present is an apple-shaped diamond ring. It is quite romantic indeed.”


  Lu Yinan had an impulse to hit Su Yue with the ring box.

  What coincidence? He had planned and spent so much effort on it!

  He furrowed his eyebrows as he threw a menacing glance at Yan Rusheng. That expression meant:

  “Sister Hooligan, try it on.” Su Yue ignored Lu Yinan who was boiling with anger, and she grabbed Zhou Shuang’s hand. She steered her hand towards the ring.

  She didn’t care if Zhou Shuang was willing or not. As long as she picked up the ring, it meant that she had accepted the present.

  Zhou Shuang finally reacted after she received the ring. She dropped it as though it had scalded her. “Who wants to marry him?” cried Zhou Shuang.

  She pouted as she glanced furtively at the diamond ring on the dining table. Her face had turned crimson.

  “Try it on to see if it fits. Let’s see how well he knows you.” Su Yue picked up the ring and forcibly placed it on her finger.

  It fitted perfectly.

  Su Yue raised Zhou Shuang’s hand against the light, as though she was displaying it for everyone to admire her ring.

  Suddenly, she raised her voice and proudly announced, “Congratulations to Lu Yinan for his successful proposal to Sister Hooligan. Yay!”


  She spoke in English and everyone including the waiters understood her.

  Everyone clinked their glasses to celebrate the successful proposal and joyfully showered them with congratulations.

  The commotion left Zhou Shuang with no choice but to accept the ring. She hung her head low and her face was in a shade of fiery red.

  Lu Yinan was a little embarrassed, too.

  But he raised his glass gracefully and responded politely. “Thank you.”


  He raised Zhou Shuang’s glass, which was filled with water.
