This moment had arrived too suddenly, and Shen Yin’s eyes widened in disbelief.
At that moment, her mind suddenly went blank. Looking at the sincere and serious man in front of her, her heartbeat suddenly accelerated and even her breathing quickened.
“Will you?” Lian Jing asked again, his eyes burning.
As soon as he finished speaking, a dozen bodyguards in white suits entered the courtyard. Each of them was holding a large bouquet of roses. On a closer look, there were sparkling chains hanging from the flower buds.
They brought the flowers to her and smiled.
Only then did Shen Yin see that the things on the bouquets were actually exquisitely designed gold jewelry.
Lian Jing smiled and explained to her softly, “According to tradition, brides have to wear gold jewelry when they get married. I didn’t know what you would like, so I bought the most beautiful ones in the jeweler’s shop for you.”
Shen Yin stared at him in shock for a long time before she realized what he had just said. Her neck twisted stiffly as she looked at the bouquet that was being offered to her. When she saw the gold jewelry on it, she was instantly speechless.
Shen Nian bent down to hide behind a shelf so he could peek at what was going on. When he saw the gold jewelry, he looked slightly pleased. “That’s more like it. If my biological father only proposed with a ring, I wouldn’t let Mom agree so easily.”
Lian Meng tlicked her nephew’s torehead and said sternly, “Why are you so easily satisfied? He didn’t even bring you a gift.”
Shen Nian looked up and at her serious expression and stared at her suspiciously. He nodded seriously and said, “It’s true. I have to make trouble for him!”
“Hey! Don’t go! Nian Nian! I was just teasing you!” Lian Meng realized that she had gotten herself into big trouble. She wanted to pull Shen Nian back, but he was too agile. He was like a slippery fish that no one could catch.
She wanted to bite her tongue off when she saw him run into the proposal scene. She forced herself to smile apologetically as she rushed over. She pulled Shen Nian away and said with an awkward smile, “Well, you guys carry on. Nian Nian couldn’t help rushing over because he was too excited.”
“No, Auntie said that Dad didn’t even bring me a gift, so Nian Nian should…
Mmm…”
Before Shen Nian could finish speaking, Lian Meng hurriedly covered his mouth. Lian Jing’s expression had already darkened visibly. Her scalp prickled. As she pulled Shen Nian away, her knees went weak and she almost fell.
“Wait.” Lian Jing still maintained his kneeling position. He reached out and called Shen Nian over. Then, he held Shen Nian’s hand and asked, “If Daddy brings Nian Nian a gift, will Nian Nian let Mommy to agree to Daddy’s proposal?”
Shen Nian looked at his dumbfounded mother in surprise. It was obvious that she had not recovered from the shock. He nodded righteously and said,
“Alright, if Dad is sincere enough, I will allow Mom to agree.”
In any case, his silly mother did not seem to have any intention of rejecting his biological father. He could take advantage of this.
Lian Jing narrowed his eyes and smiled smugly. He reached out and took out a letter from another bouquet. “This is for you. It’s an invitation to join Elliot Business School. You used your computer has checked out information on this school, so I helped you to apply for admission.”
Shen Nian widened his eyes in disbelief and complained, “You peeked at my computer?”
How could an adult be so despicable!
Lian Jing corrected him matter-of-factly. “You forgot to turn off the screen after using the computer in the living room.”
“Nian Nian wants to go overseas to study?” It was such a difficult major, and he was still so young… Shen Yin instantly held Shen Nian’s hand uneasily. “Don’t go until you finish middle school in China, okay?”
Shen Nian was a little hesitant, but he was worried he would not be able to integrate easily into the upper grades. Also, he could not bear to part with his mother.
However, since his father was so good to his mother now, he had nothing to worry about, right?
After making up his mind, Shen Nian nodded solemnly and said, “Mom, don’t worry. I’ve learned that there are also lower grade students who study there. If
I pass, I can directly enter the business school.”
“Have you really decided?” Shen Yin still could not bear to part with her son.
She and Nian Nian had always depended on each other. Rather than saying that she had painstakingly raised Nian Nian, it was more that Nian Nian had given her spiritual support during her darkest time, supporting her until she reached the light.
If not for Nian Nian, she would have been discouraged and might have done something stupid that she would regret for the rest of her life.
Lian Jing looked at the mother and son’s teary eyes and coughed unhappily, trying to attract his wife’s attention.
Only then did Shen Yin remember that Lian Jing was still kneeling on the ground. She immediately smiled through her tears and stretched out her finger, allowing him to put the ring on it..
