leman and put on a facade in public. However, Yang Chen's words completely humiliated him at this moment."Yang Chen, you only hide behind women and act tough. Hao Ge is the future head of a top family...Chapter 25

Yang Chen's face was full of sincerity and love.

Such a romantic proposal, most ordinary girls would say yes, but the one in front of us is not an ordinary girl.

After a long silence, Qin Xi's emotions finally calmed down. She looked at the other person with a complex expression: "I'm sorry!"

At hearing these three words, a flicker of disappointment crossed Yang Chen's eyes before vanishing.

"I understand!" Yang Chen said with a bitter smile. At this moment, he only felt like his heart was bleeding. Even on the battlefield, when a bullet pierced his chest, it didn't hurt like this now.

Seeing Yang Chen's dejected look, Qin Xi felt deeply distressed. She walked forward, slightly leaned down, and helped the kneeling Yang Chen up with one knee.

"Yang Chen, I hope you understand that the reason I'm willing to be with you is not love, but because of my daughter." Qin looked at Yang Chen softly.

"I can't accept you for now, but that doesn't mean I won't in the future. I hope you can give me some time, okay"

Qin Xi's first half of the sentence still made Yang Chen feel heartbroken, but the second half of the sentence made Yang Chen overjoyed.

"Yes!"

Yang Chen excitedly said, “I can wait, until the day you are willing to accept me.”

Qin Xi couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief. Her heart was very conflicted. Seeing Yang Chen kneeling on one knee to propose to her, her heart had already melted. But reason told her that this was just moved, and between them, apart from the night five years ago, there was no foundation for any kind of relationship at all.

Meanwhile, the cafe across from Starlight Garden Hotel.

Su Chengwu stood in front of the large transparent glass window, his gaze fixed on the bustling scene at the entrance of Xingguang Garden Hotel opposite him. He felt a surge of emotions in his heart.

"Mr. Su, someone is here!" The driver said and then quietly left.

Su Chengwu turned back and saw the middle-aged woman walking quickly towards him, extending her hand and saying, "Hello, relative!"

"Hello!"

Su Chengwu politely smiled and nodded, then asked: "You are Ms. Qin's mother, Mrs. Zhou, right"

Zhou Y cui hurriedly pulled Qin Yi beside her and excitedly said, "I'm Xia Yi's mother, Zhou Yucui."

This was Zhou Yucun's first time meeting Su Chengwu, a real person. Seeing Su Chengwu being so polite, she was so excited that she couldn't even speak properly.

"Brother-in-law, from now on we're a family, don't be so polite!" Zhou Yucui said with a smile.

When he was first called "in-law" by Zhou, Su Chengwu thought he had misheard. After being called a second time, he realized he hadn't. Confused, he asked, "Mrs. Zhou, why are you calling me 'in-law'"

Zhou Y cui still thought Su Chengwu felt it was too early to call each other in-laws, so she took Qin Yi's hand and said, "When Xiao Yi marries your son, aren't we in-laws If you think it's too early to call each other in-laws now, then I'll call you Mr. Su, until after we have their wedding..."

"Wait a minute!"

Before Zhou Y cui could finish her words, Su Chengwu hurriedly interrupted, looking puzzled and saying, "Madam Zhou, are you misunderstanding something"

"No, no! You already had someone deliver the betrothal gifts, didn't you Old Qin and I discussed it, and we are very satisfied with this marriage." Zhou Yucui said with a smile.

Su Chengwu finally realized his mistake and hurriedly explained, "Mrs. Zhou, you misunderstood. The dowry was for your eldest daughter, Qin Xi."

"What" Zhou Yucun exclaimed in surprise.is teeth, a grimace twisting his features as the intense pain racked his body. His voice trembled as he spoke, his entire being drenched in cold sweat.He is a man, too.His knee was pierced through, th...
