My Scheming Little Devil-Chapter 1021: Proposal
The guests murmured among themselves, thinking that Third Young Master Jun really had the nerve to act coy after snagging such a deal. To be so fortunate as to become the Hua family’s perfect son-in-law and yet he wore a reluctant look on his face—it was infuriating.
But Hua Yiren didn’t mind, the smile on her face not awkward in the slightest. It didn’t matter, after all, she had secured this man’s body, and his heart, sooner or later, she would snatch it too. What was there that she, Yiren, couldn’t obtain?
Be it the Hua family’s status or a man, hmph, no one should even think about competing with her.
Her foster father, Ivanov, had already agreed with Third Young Master Jun’s godfather—their engagement was to be announced tonight.
Yiren’s beautiful eyes looked around until they finally rested on Ye Lu quietly entering from the banquet hall entrance. Her smile deepened; such good news must be announced in front of that woman to be truly satisfying.
She wanted to utterly defeat Ye Lu, to leave her with absolutely no dignity.
Therefore, she immediately spoke up with a smile, raising her voice.
"Ladies and gentlemen, please quiet down. I, Hua Yiren, have invited guests from all walks of life tonight to announce something of great importance regarding my future."
The surrounding guests all showed an expression as if saying ’I knew it’, many looking enviously at Third Young Master Jun.
"What’s going on? Jun Huang, he’s going to marry this woman?" Old Madam Jun was stunned, understanding what was about to happen even in her befuddlement.
Jun Guanru was also full of shock, his face darkening with anger. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢
"Let me make the announcement instead!" Third Young Master Jun’s deep and magnetic voice overpowered the buzzing of the crowd, instantly silencing everyone.
"Go ahead, let’s hear it from you." Yiren leaned her head sweetly to the side, gazing at Third Young Master Jun.
Third Young Master Jun’s expression was devoid of superfluous sentiment, as serene as the ocean. His deep and alluring gaze swept over the entire hall.
Then, amidst the hush, he spoke quietly.
"I once loved only one woman, now I still love only one woman, and in the future, I will keep loving only one woman."
His firm and robust voice echoed throughout the banquet, low and husky yet laden with the deepest affection and longing.
It resonated with the hearts of those present, deeply moving them.
"My greatest fortune, Jun Huang, is encountering her. In this life, I love only her, cherishing her as the most precious treasure at the core of my heart. My heart beats for her, she is my breath, my life, the meaning of my existence. I swear, I will never betray her; otherwise, may lightning strike me, and I won’t die a peaceful death. Today, here, I want to propose to her!"
Hua Yiren’s smile grew even sweeter. This man was quite the actor, but she liked it, because these deeply affectionate words gave her more face.
Third Young Master Jun took out a simple, undecorated box from his pocket.
The guests were all surprised, speculating what he would bring out—it should be a ring since he was going to propose.
But why was the ring box so plain? A grand family’s proposal was supposed to include a huge, luxurious custom-made ring, wasn’t it?
However, in the next second, something even more astonishing happened.
Third Young Master Jun knelt on one knee, which was expected, but he knelt in the wrong direction, not towards Hua Yiren, but the opposite.
The guests were momentarily dumbfounded, exchanging bewildered looks.
Hua Yiren was even more stunned, her sweet smile freezing on her face, watching Third Young Master Jun with disbelief and a mix of shame and anger. He had actually, under everyone’s watchful eyes, breached their agreement, humiliating her like this.
But what infuriated her even more, following the direction of Third Young Master Jun’s kneeling, was seeing Ye Lu standing behind the guests. Her eyes stung instantly, her heart filled with hatred.
