The Villain and the Cannon Fodder’s Mother

Chapter 271 – And she was that lucky person! (1)

The public opinion on the web was still very distant from those who were on vacation.

Lin Yiyi decided not to be bothered by these and let herself go.

To others, on the other hand, if the ones in the stories didn’t stand out to clarify immediately, they were silently admitting to them!

As such, the incident became facts just like that.

As soon as Lu Xun and the others got off the plane from Maldives, Yao Sen gave Lu Xun a call right away and congratulated him. “I heard that congratulations are in order. The paparazzi had already caught wind of the two of you showing up at the airport.”

Even their love affairs could, somehow, draw nationwide attention. Technically, neither one of them were celebrities either. They just happened to be in the entertainment circle; and that was what made others speechless.

Even Yao Sen couldn’t help his daughter attract that kind of attention despite his best efforts!

Lu Xun gave Lin Yiyi a look with a guilty conscience.

The two of them were standing very close to each other. Even if she just perked up her ears a little, she would be able to hear the conversation from the other end, let alone that Yao Sen’s voice wasn’t low at all.

Even so, Lin Yiyi did not react to that at all.

Lu Xun felt a bit disturbed while feeling relieved at the same time.

He waited until they had driven all the way back to the mansion district. Lin Yiyi had gotten out of the car and was about to go get her suitcases from the trunk, and even Meng Yuran and Lu Mingzhe had gone over to help out before he twisted and turned and forced himself to walk over to the rest of them.

Lin Yiyi gave him a dubious look and turned back around to lift up that extra-large 28” suitcase of hers, but it was snatched from her.

Lu Xun had pulled the large and heavy suitcase out of the trunk, dragged it to the front of the mansion, and handed it over to Housekeep Zhang-ma had hurried over to help before he turned back around.

Each person only had one suitcase. With the exception of Lin Yiyi having the supersized one, the others had already left with their own suitcase. Lin Yiyi was the only one left standing there, looking at him with her arms crossed in front of her.

“What is it that you had wanted to say?”

She had an idea what the phone call he had earlier was about, and she could tell that there was something that Lu Xun had wanted to say the entire time, but he didn’t… He kept on holding it back. All the way until they were at her place!

Never mind about Lin Yiyi, even Lu Mingzhe and the others noticed that and all disappeared with their own suitcases.

There was nobody at the front of the mansion, except for the two of them!

That was the perfect opportunity to talk.

Lu Xun fished around and around in his pocket… And nothing came out!

Lu Xun, “……”

Lin Yiyi, “……”

Puuf!

Lin Yiyi recalled that he had shoved something into his suitcase on their way back, so she reminded him nicely while trying to stop herself from laughing. “Did you maybe forget something in the suitcase?”

He had attracted so much attention when he was doing that; one would have to be blind to not notice!

And he thought she had no idea whatsoever?

Reminded by Lin Yiyi, Lu Xun quickly went to look inside his suitcase that was still in the trunk of the car.

One really couldn’t blame him for being too nervous. He stroked the velvet box in his hand. Anyone would be equally nervous as him, alright?!

Lin Yiyi immediately noticed the item in his hand. “Are you trying to propose to me?”

That was abruptly straightforward!

Lu Xun was speechless all of a sudden.

By the time he had recollected himself, the velvet box had already been opened up.

This time, it was Lin Yiyi’s turn to be speechless.

She was just rambling. She didn’t think it could be true.

Lo and behold, it was a ring inside the box!

And what a ring it was.

A 19.7-carat diamond ring designed by a French designer. It was one of a kind in this world, and there was nothing else like it.

This was not what Lu Xun had in mind as the best time to propose. Even though he had been carrying the ring around with him, his intention was to wait for the right moment, look for a romantic location, and have a well-thought-out proposal.

Of course, those were just fleeting thoughts.

Even as romantic as Maldives was, he still never presented the ring. He had carried it with him for the entire trip and didn’t do a thing.

What was unexpected was all the congratulatory words on their way back made him veto all of his earlier thoughts.
