Chapter 30 Traditional

Luo Xiaolei and Yu Chen finally stood before the table which was lit with romantic candles. Their hands were still entwined in a loose grip as they both surveyed the scenic spot.

Luo Xiaolei was a bit nervous. This was, after all, her first date since the day she returned back in time. But somehow, the feeling she had at that moment was unexpectedly better than she thought. No heavy awkwardness or anxiousness. It almost felt like she was just having a dinner with a new friend. Err... what?

A sweat drop fell from Lou Xiaolei’s forehead. She couldn’t believe she just thought of this Yu Chen as a friend. Luo Xiaolei, what are you even thinking about? Ahh... never mind, this might be because I kept imagining him as a little angel now. Must be it!!

As Luo Xiaolei was deep in her thoughts, it was Yu Chen who first moved and let Luo Xiaolei’s hand go, causing her to snap back to reality. He then walked towards the table and pulled a chair out for her.

After that, the two of them sat across each other. The hall was silent. The floor to ceiling window was like a huge painting of a black canvass filled with colorful lights. The view was magnificent and the setting was no doubt 100% romantic.

Luo Xiaolei didn’t waste time and immediately began a conversation. She asked all sorts of basic and safe questions about him and the man simply answered her back in the same basic manner, as straightforward as an arrow.

Of course, Luo Xiaolei didn’t forget about her main goal. So by the time they had finish their meal, Luo Xiaolei immediately began.

"Mr. Yu, you told me to give you 24 hours. May I hear your answer now?" she asked.

Yu Chen who was sipping his wine looked at her. His movement halted in place as a moment of deep silence passed by.

The glass of wine in his hand then slowly landed back on the table while Luo Xiaolei swallowed air as she gazed back at him, waiting for his reply.

"Miss Luo... as of now, I still can’t accept your proposal." He replied and Luo Xiaolei’s shoulders dropped.

"Why?"

"The reason is still the same. I think you are going too fast. I believe you and I need to know each other first, no?"

". . ."

Luo Xiaolei was speechless. That night she went and proposed to him, she thought of lots of possibilities. She even thought of Yu Chen being like one of the possessive and domineering alpha male leads in novels she had read, who would marry the female lead in a flash without caring about something like knowing each other first. She even prepared herself for the worse if in case he was going to immediately bring her into the civil affairs office! But what’s with this twist? Why can’t this man just offer her something like a contract marriage, like those stories, so she can finally take back her little buns from the demon’s den? Must this man be so righteous and proper like this? Was he really an angel with an oh so pure and untainted heart?!

Somehow, Luo Xiaolei started to feel somewhat uneasy. Honestly, she still didn’t have any idea who Yu Chen really was. She didn’t know if this was the real him or if this was just a façade but for some reason, her heart seemed to be unable to doubt him even if her mind was telling her to. Luo Xiaolei denied it but deep within her, she felt like everything he said and showed her seemed sincere and wasn’t forced or fake, unlike her. That was what made this hard for her. She thought that it’d be easier if this man wasn’t this nice, like a pure hearted angel.

"But Mr. Yu, didn’t you say it is not the pace you didn’t like but the method? You even said that you’d take responsibility." In the end, Luo Xiaolei still chose to persist. She didn’t plan to use his own words against him but she had no choice.

At that moment, Yu Chen was silent for a while. He glanced at his wine glass before he gazed back at her again. fre(e)webnovel.com

"I’ll take responsibility. You have my word. But don’t rush. We should take the proper steps. It wouldn’t make sense if I accept your proposal when I haven’t accepted your confession first, no? Be my girlfriend first before becoming my fiancee." As those words left Yu Chen’s mouth, Luo Xiaolei was stupefied.

Yu Chen: "I accept your confession. With this, we can spend more time together and get to know each other first."

Luo Xiaolei: ". . ."

Err... W-what?! Mr. Yu, must you be so traditional and prim like this? I didn’t know there was still a chivalrous man like you in this modern world! Could it be that you are someone who travelled in time from the past?!
