Tyrannical Tycoon Haunts Me Relentlessly-Chapter 533: Only She in His Eyes 3

Xia Yinian had no reaction, only stared blankly outside.

Below, those puzzled hearts grew even more bewildered.

Old Madam watched her like this, also somewhat at a loss.

Gu Lingqian immediately embraced Xia Yinian in his arms and said with a smile, "Grandpa, Grandma, why didn’t you discuss this with us first?"

"Although the engagement party would happen sooner or later, announcing it so suddenly like this, look, you’ve frightened Nian Nian, what has she become?"

He lowered his head, and in front of everyone, he leaned close to Xia Yinian’s face.

It appeared as if he was kissing his fiancée’s face.

But he merely moved his thin lips to Xia Yinian’s ear and softly called out, "Nian Nian, snap out of it, we’re getting engaged today."

Xia Yinian looked at him blankly, still somewhat unable to respond.

She was getting engaged, today, really getting engaged... But she didn’t know, she simply couldn’t react.

All she knew was that just now, when she saw Uncle walking out, her heart... hurt so much!

"If you don’t come back to your senses, I’m going to kiss you." By her ear, Gu Lingqian’s voice rang out again. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

Kiss her?

Xia Yinian’s eyes widened, and she instantly sobered up.

Instinctively she thought to retreat, but Gu Lingqian seemed to have already anticipated her withdrawal, and immediately pulled her back into his embrace.

"Nian Nian, this is the ring Grandpa and Grandma have treasured for many years, their engagement ring."

He took the ring from Old Madam’s hand, presented it, then looked at Xia Yinian, "Now, I want to put it on your finger."

"However, before I do, I still want to ask, are you willing to marry me?"

He gazed at her, his eyes in that moment indescribably devout!

If she reneged at this moment and said she was unwilling to play out this act with him, then he would be willing to accommodate her.

No matter what the consequences, he would bear them alone.

Yet, Xia Yinian, after seeing that pair of rings, her gaze fell upon Old Madam who was still seated in the wheelchair.

Old Madam watched her, nodding with a smile, thinking she was truly just shy and startled.

Her smile was so sincere, so benevolent.

If she said she was unwilling now, would this elderly lady have an onset of illness, could there possibly be... an accident?

Could she gamble? No, she dared not gamble, nor could she bring herself to be so cruel to bet.

"I..." Again looking at Gu Lingqian, the word "willing," despite knowing she needed to say it, could never be spoken.

Old Master’s face darkened, yet his voice remained gentle, "When have the men of the Gu Family ever needed to seek others’ opinions in what they do!"

Old Master was angry, although his voice was somewhat gentle, but that was also because Old Madam was present.

Old Madam tugged at his sleeve, and Old Master’s voice softened even more, "Of course, you’re not included in ’others.’"

Such favoritism, such wildness, yet not a single person in the audience dared to have any objections.

The patriarch of the Gu Family should indeed have such boldness!

But still, Gu Lingqian looked at Xia Yinian, asking seriously, "Nian Nian, are you willing? If you are, just nod your head, and if you’re not, you can walk away on your own, I will absolutely not stop you."

Old Master’s face turned even more unsightly in an instant, just as he was about to erupt, Xia Yinian suddenly stretched out her hand, looking at Gu Lingqian.

Her voice was very soft and delicate, but with the microphone not far from her side, everyone still heard her clearly.

She said lightly, "Brother Ling, I am willing."
