Chapter 843: Did You Agree?
Married? Xia Ning sobered up immediately. She looked at the man in front of her. This was not the first time he said this.
Didn’t people say businessmen liked to have fun? Getting married too early would only make him be restrained by his family and not be able to show his skills. But in his heart, marriage had become an obsession.
In the past, she did not understand marriage. She thought that it was a bond for them to be together forever. She even thought that once he got married to her, he would love her.
But now, she still did not understand marriage. But under his increasing gentleness, her cold heart started to move.
If it was him who got married, she really wanted to try again.
She looked at him and said suddenly, “Are you sure you want to marry me?”
Qiao Yu held Xia Ning’s hand and looked at her. He raised his eyebrows. “Do I look like I’m lying?”
“Oh.” Xia Ning nodded and did not speak anymore.
Qiao Yu saw her calm face and frowned a little. “That’s it?!”
“Yeah, that’s it! Time to eat. Otherwise, the food will get cold.” As Xia Ning spoke, she pushed Qiao Yu away and sat down at the table. She picked up the knife and fork and started to eat the steak on the table.
Qiao Yu turned around and looked at the girl sitting next to him. There was some helplessness in his eyes. Was she trying to change the topic on purpose? He walked opposite her and sat down.
But just as he sat down, he heard her voice.
“You knew how to get a ring last time. This time, you want to use a candlelight dinner to move me. No way. I sponsored the candles.”
Qiao Yu’s heart skipped a beat. He looked up at the girl across him. She was cutting her steak.
But he was very sure that she was the one who said those words just now.
“I was in a rush this time, so...” Qiao Yu wanted to explain, but when it came to love, no matter how smart a person was, they would still be stupid. Even his tongue was tied.
Xia Ning looked up and glared at him. “So you didn’t want to propose to me today?”
Qiao Yu: “...” He wanted to nod, but he felt that if he nodded, the fork in her hand might fly towards him.
“No!” Qiao Yu decided to go against his conscience and comfort Xia Ning.
Xia Ning heard this and unexpectedly slammed the knife on the table.
“So you don’t want to marry me at all?!”
Qiao Yu: “...” How could his answer be wrong?! Everyone said women were unreasonable and that was true.
He looked at the knife on the table and felt like she wanted to stab him.
Seeing Qiao Yu in a daze, Xia Ning could not help but laugh. She raised her eyebrows. “You still want to marry me?!”
Qiao Yu looked at her and asked back, “Why not?”
“Don’t you think I’m very fierce and climbing onto your head[1]?” Xia Ning looked at Qiao Yu. She ground her teeth and said teasingly, “Or do you want to deceive me first and then ride on my head?”
Qiao Yu nodded. “That’s a good idea. But...” He looked at Xia Ning. “But I like you climbing onto my head!”
Xia Ning chuckled. “You are getting better at sweet nothings.”
“Is it sweet enough for you?” Qiao Yu raised his eyebrows and asked.
“Sorry, I don’t want sweets.” Xia Ning picked up the knife and fork and picked up another piece of steak. She took a bite and nodded. “I like steak.”
Qiao Yu saw her flying eyebrows and felt much better. He asked, “So did you agree?”
