Billionaire's First Doting Marriage-Chapter 2144 - 285: Refusal

Everyone was stunned.

Even Xia Ye showed a hint of surprise on his face.

Xia Ye slowly put down his chopsticks.

Gu Tiantian wasn’t pleased either.

But she held back and watched Wen Quan’s devout expression.

Xia Yangyang hadn’t expected this child to suddenly say something like this in public.

She seemed somewhat at a loss.

Gu Qichen spoke up, "Well, it’s not up to us. You have to ask Yinxing. Her matters, her life, she makes the decisions. Her mom and I respect all her choices."

Wen Quan walked over to Lu Yinxing and actually knelt down on one knee.

He took out a ring from somewhere: "Yinxing, I ask you to be my girlfriend. I have liked you since the first time I saw you when I was five years old, and until today, it’s been fourteen years. Our families made a childhood engagement as a joke, I know. But in my heart, it’s real. I have never looked at any other girl. I only like you and plan to like you for the rest of my life, so, will you please be my girlfriend?"

Wen Quan kneeling on one knee looked exactly like a scene from a TV drama proposing marriage.

Lu Yinxing sat there, still a bit dazed.

But the boy in front of her did have a face comparable to a Prince.

At eighteen or nineteen, he was truly full of youthful vigor.

He is bold, brave, handsome, smart, and outstanding, the unattainable dream boy for countless girls in school.

Now he’s kneeling right in front of her.

Lu Yinxing felt a complex mix of emotions in her heart.

Even if Lu Yinxing were clueless, she would know Wen Quan’s intentions, not to mention this wasn’t his first confession, real or otherwise.

Wen Quan was indeed very outstanding.

Lu Yinxing also liked Wen Quan very much.

But her kind of like seemed a bit different from Wen Quan’s liking.

They grew up together over all these years.

Lu Yinxing only felt her relationship with Wen Quan was like family.

As she said to Wen Quan before.

Her feelings for him and Xia Ye were the same.

She hadn’t carefully discerned if there was any tiny difference.

But Lu Yinxing clearly understood her feelings for Wen Quan were familial, not romantic.

Lu Yinxing looked at the boy before her, momentarily unsure how to respond.

Mu Liancheng whispered to Wen Xiaochu, "Isn’t that ring the antique ring I gave you back then?"

Wen Xiaochu nodded, "A few years ago, Wen Quan asked for it, said he liked it, so I gave it to him."

Mu Liancheng smiled and said, "Looks like this child has been planning for this for a long time."

Everyone’s eyes fell on these two people.

Lu Yinxing finally calmed down.

Lu Yinxing said, "Brother Wen Quan, stop joking. In my heart, you are like an elder brother to me; we are siblings."

In fact, Lu Yinxing had already thought about it in her heart.

No matter what, better a short pain than a long one. 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

The feelings she had for Wen Quan were what they were, and she couldn’t deceive him.

Since she didn’t want to date at all, she had to firmly refuse.

The harm he would suffer would be less this way.

Soon they would all enter a new stage in life.

It is in university where they truly encounter more people and spark various emotions.

Lu Yinxing always believed Wen Quan’s feelings for her were because he had too little exposure to other girls.
