Tonight’s yacht ride is a sleepless night. Although there is only one birthday star, from the moment everyone boarded the yacht, the birthday star was merely an excuse for everyone to gather.

People here are Lu Shouyue’s close friends and family, though not necessarily to each other, this is the perfect opportunity to expand their social circles.

After all, some people’s identities are sensitive, and it’s actually not easy to meet up with them usually.

Lu Shouyue’s intention to officially introduce Lin Wanwan to his circle has already been achieved, so he doesn’t need to mingle with everyone all the time.

He doesn’t need to engage in polite socializing and can temporarily set aside emotional intelligence.

Under the starry night on the sea, he prefers to cuddle with the girl he loves.

On the waterside platform for sea fishing, it’s just Lu Shouyue and Lin Wanwan; everyone else tactfully avoids being a third wheel.

Chen Yan, who couldn’t blend into the social circle and didn’t want to stick with Su Yanwei all the time, thought of coming over to fish but was stopped by the bodyguards outside.

"Sorry, you can’t go ahead for now, please wait a moment," the bodyguard said politely yet firmly.

Chen Yan watched Lin Wanwan and Lu Shouyue leaning against each other, talking and laughing, feeling somewhat envious and a bit uncomfortable.

These two must have saved the Milky Way in their past lives to be such a perfect match.

As she turned to leave, she was stopped by Su Yanwei, who had come over.

He put his finger to his lips, gesturing for silence, then pulled her into a nearby corner.

In this secluded corner, people gradually gathered, wearing expressions of anticipation to witness a good show.

Chen Yan, like the other female companions, was somewhat confused. 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

Lin Wanwan, engrossed in fishing, naturally wasn’t aware of what was happening behind her. Her fishing rod suddenly bent, apparently hooking a big fish.

Excitedly, she lifted the rod, pitting her strength against the big fish in the sea.

However, to prevent the hook from loosening, she didn’t use all her strength at once. Just as she was pondering the best strategy, the rod suddenly slackened.

"Ah! Did it get away!?"

Lin Wanwan walked to the edge of the platform, unable to resist looking down.

She was stunned by what she saw.

In the sea, countless glowing lights gathered slowly to form a line of words: Wanwan, marry me.

Lin Wanwan turned to look at Lu Shouyue behind her. He was already on one knee, holding up an open ring box, gazing at her passionately and saying, "Wanwan, marry me, let me protect you for a lifetime."

Lin Wanwan was frozen on the spot, with many images flashing through her mind.

Above her, a rain of colorful petals fell, bringing waves of fragrance, seemingly unreal like a scene from a drama.

Perhaps Lin Wanwan’s reaction was a bit slow, hidden people couldn’t hold back, and someone suddenly shouted, "Marry him! Marry him!"

Then there was a collective uproar: "Marry him! Marry him!"

"Kiss! Kiss!"

Lin Wanwan looked up at the people hidden all around, then back at Lu Shouyue, whose face was rarely nervous, and finally nodded gently.

At this moment, she wasn’t quite sure if she agreed because she was willing to enter marriage or because she didn’t want to embarrass Lu Shouyue in front of his friends.

Nevertheless, the result didn’t change; even if she agreed now, it was only an engagement first.

And the engagement date had long been publicized; the proposal was just a formality.

Lu Shouyue stood up, fingers trembling slightly as he held the ring, placing the large blue diamond ring on Lin Wanwan’s finger, almost covering it, making her finger glow.

"Did you intentionally buy such a large, gaudy one?" Lin Wanwan broke the mood with her question.

Lu Shouyue was holding his breath while putting the ring on her; hearing this, he couldn’t help but laugh, "Wanwan, are you questioning my taste?"

He pulled her into his arms, then gently turned her around, raised her hand slightly, finding a certain angle, whispered in her ear, "Can you see it?"

Under the light, the blue diamond refracted dazzling light, as if plucking stars from the sky to wear on one’s hand.

The shock effect of diamond brilliance is not entirely due to light; it also requires the night and calm.

The contrast between darkness and light highlights the colorful charm of light, like a red flower needs green leaves to complement.

Lin Wanwan wasn’t sincerely thinking the large blue diamond was tacky; she was just saying it casually to ease Lu Shouyue’s nerves.

After all, when putting on the ring, she could feel his tense face and stiff fingers.

Applause and whistles echoed from all around as the clock approached midnight, and Lu Shouyue completed his life’s major event.

Today’s proposal had a bit of a calculated move; he anticipated that Lin Wanwan wouldn’t refuse him on his birthday, in front of his friends.

Yet until the last moment, Lu Shouyue was still hesitant.

Though he had discussed plans with the crew and arranged for divers in the sea, he had yet to give the signal to start.

Sometimes, when you care too much about someone, anything related to them becomes a matter of great anxiety.

He was afraid she’d feel pressured and unhappy, or that she’d disregard his feelings and directly reject him.

In short, he didn’t have absolute confidence, which was unlike his usual style.

Just like his initial confession, it was driven by a brave impulse.

Fortunately, Lin Wanwan didn’t embarrass him; she even rarely joked, easing his tension.

At this moment, he felt very happy. Lin Wanwan brought him more joy than pain, even if she wasn’t completely firm in her choice.

Not everyone has the fortune to be with the one they love; many just settle due to matching family status or a suitable moment.

Cheers for them to kiss were loud, with the most enthusiastic being the plump one and Old Wang.

Lu Shouyue naturally wouldn’t kiss Lin Wanwan in public due to peer pressure; his reason for kissing her is singular—spontaneous feeling and irresistible emotions.

Lin Wanwan was even more unwilling to show affection publicly. She pushed Lu Shouyue away and gave a nonchalant nod to the crowd, "It’s late, aren’t you going to rest? I’m tired, I’m leaving first."

"Hmph~"

"Going to the bridal chamber already?"

"Kiss once before you leave!"

Ignoring all the commotion, Lin Wanwan headed straight for the cabin’s resting room. Lu Shouyue exchanged a few playful retorts with everyone and then caught up with her, pulling her towards the yacht’s main bedroom.

Though they had shared the bed several times, Lin Wanwan was inexplicably a bit nervous today.

"Isn’t this not ideal? I..."

Lu Shouyue looked back at her, "You said you didn’t want it outside, right? Don’t worry, I remember. Although this doesn’t count as outside, it’s our room. But, I can continue to wait."
