Chapter 25

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

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

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

Upon hearing these three words, a hint of disappointment flashed in Yang Chen's eyes, disappearing in an instant.

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

Looking at Yang Chen's dejected appearance, Qin Xi's heart ached. She walked forward, slightly bent over, and helped Yang Chen up with one knee on the ground.

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

"I can't accept you right 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 unbearable pain, but her second half 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 also very conflicted. When she saw Yang Chen kneel down and propose to her, her heart melted, but her reason told her that this was just an emotional moment. Between them, besides the one night five years ago, there was no foundation for any feelings at all.

Meanwhile, a cafe across from the 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 the Starlight Garden Hotel across the street. He felt a surge of emotions in his heart.

"Mr. Su, someone's here!" The driver finished speaking and quietly left.

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

"Hello!"

Su Chengwu politely smiled and nodded, then asked, "Are you Ms. Qin's mother, Mrs. Zhou?"

Zhou Yucun hurriedly pulled Qin Yi over to her side and said excitedly, “I am Xiaoyi's mother, Zhou Yucun.”

This was Zhou Yucun's first time meeting Su Chengwu, the real person. Seeing that Su Chengwu was so polite, Zhou Yucun was so excited that she couldn't close her mouth.

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

At first, Su Chengwu thought he had misheard when he was addressed as "father-in-law." After being called that a second time, he realized he hadn't misheard. He questioned with confusion, "Zhou Madam, why are you calling me father-in-law?"

Zhou Yucui 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, won't we be in-laws? If you think it's too early to call each other in-laws now, then I'll just call you Mr. Su. When the wedding is over..."

"Wait!"

Before Zhou Ycuai could finish her words, Su Chengwu hurriedly interrupted, saying with a puzzled look, "Madam Zhou, are you misunderstanding something?"

"No, no! Didn't you already have someone send the betrothal gifts? Qin and I talked it over, and we're very happy with this marriage." Zhou Yucui said with a smile.

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

"What?" Zhou Y Cuai's face was full of surprise.
