Chapter 186: Chapter 186: The Four Young Masters Play the Romantic (1)

He had almost tormented her to death, how could she complain about not getting enough exercise?

Mi Jing quickly turned her face and decisively shifted her attention to her beloved mousse cake, thinking that dying of overindulgence was better than dying of exhaustion!

"Eat slowly."

Watching Mi Jing take big bites of cake, Shen Lingxing felt a tremor in his heart, but his expression remained unchanged, still gentle and calm.

"It’s so delicious, it only feels satisfying when you take big bites." Mi Jing exclaimed, not taking Shen Lingxing’s reminder seriously.

Immediately, Shen Lingxing’s thick eyebrows furrowed slightly. If this was an ordinary mousse cake, he wouldn’t have minded how Mi Jing ate it, but he had asked the pastry chef to put a ring inside the cake. If Mi Jing wasn’t careful and swallowed the ring, how could she accept his proposal?

To prevent his painstakingly planned surprise from turning into a tragedy, Shen Lingxing dominantly took the spoon from Mi Jing’s hand. Then, under her bewildered gaze, he scooped up a spoonful of cake, brought it to her mouth, and softly said, "I’ll feed you."

This...

Mi Jing’s eyes showed a hint of suspicion as she looked at Shen Lingxing, thinking he was behaving a bit oddly today.

"Did you do something you shouldn’t have?" Mi Jing took the cake into her mouth, chewed a few times, and asked with a slight frown.

"No." Shen Lingxing answered straightforwardly, the gentle light in his eyes still lingering.

"Really?"

As the saying goes, when someone is overly attentive, they either have an ulterior motive or are up to no good. Mi Jing felt that Shen Lingxing buying her cake and feeding it to her had a similar vibe.

"Do you think I would lie to you?" Shen Lingxing raised an eyebrow and retorted.

"Of course not." Mi Jing immediately grinned obsequiously, although still holding onto a sliver of uncertainty, she dared not ask further.

She admitted that in front of Shen Lingxing, she sometimes lacked spine!

"Eat slowly, take small bites, and see if it tastes any different from before." Shen Lingxing scooped up another spoonful of cake and brought it to Mi Jing’s mouth.

Take small bites?

Mi Jing found the phrase a bit awkward, feeling that it was completely inapplicable to her. But under Shen Lingxing’s expectant gaze, she slowed down her chewing, carefully tasted the cake, and then said, "It tastes the same!"

"Could it be that the chef forgot?" Shen Lingxing furrowed his brow in a deliberate show of puzzlement, muttering to himself.

Upon hearing this, Mi Jing’s curiosity was instantly piqued. She looked at Shen Lingxing with her bright eyes and asked, "Forgot what? Did you ask the pastry chef to add something to the cake?"

"Yes."

Shen Lingxing nodded, seemingly serious in answering Mi Jing’s question, but his peripheral vision caught a slight bulge in the half-eaten cake, and his dark eyes suddenly sparkled. However, Shen Lingxing’s expression did not change noticeably, so Mi Jing did not detect the subtle oddity and asked even more curiously, "What did you ask the pastry chef to add?"

"Try it again." Shen Lingxing did not answer. He scooped up the bulging part of the cake and brought it to Mi Jing’s mouth, showing an expectant look.

Mi Jing opened her mouth again, because of her curiosity, she only held the cake in her mouth this time, intending to carefully taste if there was any difference and to find out what exactly was added to the cake.

As the cake slowly melted in her mouth, Mi Jing still couldn’t detect any different flavors. Instead, she suddenly felt a hard texture with her tongue, causing her eyes to widen.

What was hidden in the cake?

The discovery left Mi Jing both surprised and curious. She gently probed with her tongue. One second, two seconds, the object in her mouth slowly took a clear shape. Then, a sudden flash of insight made Mi Jing realize that she was holding a ring in her mouth!

Shen Lingxing clearly saw Mi Jing’s expression change from serious concentration to surprise, then from surprise to curiosity, and finally to a knowing delight.

"What did you taste?" Shen Lingxing handed her a tissue, smiling calmly as he asked.

Mi Jing smiled as she took the tissue and slowly spit out the ring, saying, "Is this the surprise you had for me? Isn’t it a bit gross?"

Gross?

The smile on Shen Lingxing’s face suddenly disappeared, and with slightly stiff muscles, he asked, "You don’t like it?" He had specially searched for proposal ideas online, and seeing numerous comments under the post saying it was romantic and surprising, he decided to use it. But he hadn’t expected Mi Jing would say it was gross!

"I like it." Mi Jing’s eyes curved into a mischievous smile as she teased, "But I’m afraid you might find it gross! This ring is all covered in my saliva."

Hearing Mi Jing’s response, Shen Lingxing’s heart, which had been hanging, settled down. He said, "I’ve swallowed plenty of your saliva."

"So this counts as your proposal?" Mi Jing picked up the now clean ring and, squinting through the band, looked at Shen Lingxing and asked.

"You decide."

Hearing this, Mi Jing felt a sweet happiness in her heart, grabbed Shen Lingxing’s large hand, and then placed the ring in his palm, "Put it on me."

"Just like that?" Shen Lingxing, who had done his homework, was ready to get down on one knee.

"Just like that," Mi Jing said earnestly. "I’m already marrying you; as long as you treat me well, that’s enough."

Gazing into Mi Jing’s eyes, which were radiating steadfast determination, Shen Lingxing felt a wave of gratitude in his heart. He felt grateful that she had walked into his life, allowing him not to miss her.

Gently picking up the ring from his palm, a hint of seriousness appeared on Shen Lingxing’s serene face. He glanced at Mi Jing’s eager and beautiful face, then slid the ring onto her left ring finger.

It fit perfectly!

Looking at the ring on her hand, Mi Jing’s mouth slowly stretched into a wide smile, revealing two rows of neat, white teeth, her pretty face displaying a genuine, joyful grin.

"Does this ring look good on me?" Mi Jing extended her hand towards Shen Lingxing, asking with a cheerful smile.

"It looks good." Mi Jing’s fair skin, although not with particularly long fingers, was very delicate and elegant.

"Hubby, thank you, I really like it." Mi Jing delightfully opened her arms and threw herself into Shen Lingxing’s embrace, wrapping one arm around his body while the hand with the ring remained raised. She stared at it for a long time, liking it more and more the longer she looked, then raised her head to look at Shen Lingxing and asked, "This ring is very special. Did you have it custom made?"

"I designed it."

With this simple sentence and not a hint of emotion in his voice, Shen Lingxing’s words instantly stirred up great waves in Mi Jing’s heart.

"You know jewelry design too?" Mi Jing released Shen Lingxing, sat up straight, and looked at the very composed Shen Lingxing, exclaiming in slightly agitated surprise.
