Chapter 744 - 410: 101 Proposals (Part 5)

No way, just thinking about this scene makes me a little happily breathless!

Miss Xu quickly gestured to Huang Tianxuan near her mouth, and the latter understood, taking out an oxygen bottle from her bag and advising, "Talk less!"

"Hiss~"

"Give it to me."

Xu Manning took a small sip of oxygen, and her slightly twisted expression gradually returned to normal. Wu Wenyue couldn’t help but take a small sip as well. Feeling a little more comfortable, she calmly said, "Proposing in this lousy place, the scenery is indeed nice, but it’s hard to breathe... When he proposes to me in the future, it definitely won’t do like this. It needs to be a grand scene, with the busiest commercial street covered in roses, and a drone performance team. The kind with thousands and thousands of people watching!"

Are you tacky?

Huang Tianxuan rolled her eyes and took the oxygen bottle from her hand, pondering what kind of scene would be suitable for Li Peifeng to propose to her in the future, but no matter how she imagined, she was not satisfied. Seeing those two still standing across the mountain without any further movements, she couldn’t help being a little anxious, "What do you think they’re talking about?"

Talking about what? What’s there to talk about?

After carrying Zhao Qingge to the mountain top, Li Peifeng simply stood quietly with her, gazing at the distant main peak of Mount Kailash without saying another word.

Everything that needed to be said had already been exhausted in the previous days, and their profound mutual understanding was enough to allow them to completely understand each other’s feelings.

Zhao Qingge’s act of putting on makeup before setting off indicated that she was well aware of what Li Peifeng intended to do next.

In front of the pyramid-like snow-capped mountain, perpetually covered in snow and ice, they both became unwilling to speak, sharing no secrets with each other.

They simply admired the oppressive and majestic gift of nature, feeling this vast and mysterious beauty.

But Zhao Qingge still felt a tiny bit of uneasiness in her heart, as this was the end of the journey. Li Peifeng had said he would propose to her, and she had told him in her heart that she would refuse... But if you don’t propose, how can I refuse?

If you don’t propose, I can’t refuse, if you don’t propose, Li Peifeng, you insubordinate, you’d be going against your word!!!

"Duoduo, did you hear anything?"

"What? Was it another wolf howl?"

Li Peifeng spread his arms as if to embrace the distant Mount Kailash, or the wind on the mountaintop, but ultimately turned to embrace Zhao Qingge.

"It’s not a wolf howl, it’s the sound of flowers blooming everywhere, birds singing, and cicadas chirping."

"...I didn’t hear it!"

"When you’re by my side, I hear it."

Zhao Qingge remained unmoved, face-to-face with him, their eyes locked in a close gaze, waiting for him to say the next sentence or make the next move... so she could decisively refuse!!!

The two stared at each other for over half a minute. Li Peifeng felt her firm intention, feeling a bit helpless and unsure of what to do.

Propose and certainly be rejected, don’t propose and this trip is almost for nothing, making her even more upset upon returning to the Capital. The conflict might escalate.

It’s like choosing between being shot or bombed, so... it’s better to leave a whole corpse!

As thoughts raced through his mind, Li Peifeng made a decision, just as Zhao Qingge turned her head towards the snowy mountain and took out her phone to take pictures when he didn’t move.

Now’s the time.

My sincere heart, you can’t say I came empty-handed!!

Li Peifeng reached into his pocket to pull out the diamond ring... hey, where’s my ring? The million-dollar diamond ring I bought a month ago and kept in the inner pocket of my clothes?

Reaching into his pocket, he felt nothing and panicked, then realized.

Grabbed the wrong pocket, it’s not the outer coat I just put on, but the innermost layer!

Reached again and found it!

Takes it out...

"What are you trying to do?"

Zhao Qingge, although facing away from him while taking photos of the snow mountain, sensed something at the moment Li Peifeng pulled out the ring. She suddenly turned around and saw him, looking tense, quickly lowering his right hand holding something, his sneaky posture seemed very suspicious.

That thing in his hand... oh, it’s finally happening!

"You aren’t trying to propose, are you?"

Zhao Qingge let out a long breath, the uneasiness instantly fading away, replaced by a delighted sense of "I knew it," a peaceful relief, as if things were naturally progressing the way they should. Her tone was still indifferent: "The little box in your hand wouldn’t happen to be a ring, would it?"

"I knew it lacked a bit of surprise, shouldn’t have told you about proposing beforehand..."

Li Peifeng sighed lightly, opening his palm to reveal a three-carat diamond ring inside the box.

Zhao Qingge glanced over it, pursed her lips, and looked at Li Peifeng.

Even though she had firmly resolved to refuse, when the moment truly arrived, she was unsure how to voice it... Hmm, let him speak first, after he formally proposes, then I’ll refuse.

"I remember there’s a movie called ’101 Proposals’."

However, Li Peifeng showed no intention of proposing, neither kneeling on one knee, nor speaking emotional words of confession. Instead, he mockingly smiled, bringing up something else: "The main character went on 99 blind dates, finally meeting the leading lady, proposed to her once, but she didn’t agree. Later, she realized his goodness, proposed back to him, and they eventually got together... That’s why it’s called ’101 Proposals.’ I think the movie title is just a gimmick, completely unrelated to the plot, with only 99 blind dates. How can those 99 be counted as proposals?"

Zhao Qingge replied with a hmm, "What are you trying to say?"

With one hand holding the ring, Li Peifeng took Zhao Qingge’s hand with the other, speaking seriously and slowly, "I want to say, even if you choose to refuse this time, I will still continue to propose to you. Maybe next time in the morning, maybe at noon the day after, in the evening another day... I will truly propose a hundred times, or even two hundred times, and I am absolutely not joking."
