You’re My Only Star - Chapter 514

The sound of the chair scraping against the floor was heard. Xia Yu finally snapped out of her trance and looked up.

Huo Yun Chen stood up and walked over to her side, making her heartbeat accelerate.

However, her expression was still in a daze. She might have guessed at what Huo Yun Chen was trying to do but she still did not date to believe it.

Huo Yun Chen was always very handsome. However, at this time, Xia Yu could see that his face was a little pale. The Huo Yun Chen in front of her seemed to be very anxious. He was even more nervous than the time he was waiting for the announcer to announce the winner of the award.

Suddenly, Huo Yun Chen leaned over to pick up the ring in the chocolate box. Then, he dropped down on one knee and looked at her for a long time.

Xia Yu took in a deep breath as she waited for him to speak. However, Huo Yun Chen continued to hold the ring tightly and stared at her for a long time.

His lips open and close a few times.

There were a lot of things that he wanted to say and Huo Yun Chen was sure that he had practiced his speech many times in his mind. But now that he was facing her, the speech that he had prepared was suddenly forgotten.

Huo Yun Chen held on to the ring tightly as he scolded himself in his mind.

He knew well that if he continued to stay silent, Xia Yu might misunderstand him. Taking a deep breath, Huo Yun Chen decided to forget the speech he had prepared earlier and speak whatever had come to his mind.

“Xia Yu, I love you. Will you marry me?”

His question was too straightforward and it was startling her.

“Actually, if we counted the time where I know you as Shadow, the two of us had known each other for more than three years.”

The memories of them fighting in the game together came to Xia Yu’s mind and it made her smile.

“In the short time that we have been together, I realized that I liked having you by my side wanted to spend my life with you,” Huo Yun Chen said. “You make me happy. You make me want to work hard and do my best for you. So that, you can stay beside me without having to worry about anything. To me, you are very special. An inspiration.”

Huo Yun Chen took another deep breath and spoke, “Xia Yu, if you say yes, then, I promise to always be with you, to look after you, and to always love you. I will give you a family and will never disappoint you. In this life, I will never make you feel alone.”

Her eyes stung.

In her memory, she had always longed to have a complete family. Right now, the person in front of her was promising to give her what she had always wanted.

“Xia Yu, marry me, please.”

Xia Yu placed a hand on her mouth as she bit her lips.

His eyes were pleading. Her heart melted just by staring into his eyes. She slowly move and nodded. “Alright.” Her lips curled into a smile. “I’ll marry you.”

Huo Yun Chen finally let out a heavy breath. The heavy stone that was pressing at his heart was suddenly lifted. When he looked at the girl again, Huo Yun Chen found that he could not stop himself from smiling.

“Are you not going to put that ring on me?”

Huo Yun Chen snapped out of his trance when he heard her words. He held the ring carefully and slid it to her finger.

Xia Yu raised her hand and stared at the ring for a long time. It was a ring with a simple design and a diamond on the center of it. The design was really the style that she really liked.

Suddenly, the sound of footsteps was heard, heading in their direction.

Xia Yu looked up and saw the waiters walk into the room with a huge bouquet and a cake. The waiters approached their table and congratulate them on a successful proposal.

After eating their dessert and paying for their meal, the two of them finally head back home.

The moment they both walked into the hotel room, Xia Yu turned around and wrapped her arms around his neck.

Huo Yun Chen stared into her eyes and smiled. “Mmm… My fiance.”

Her cheek turned red when she heard those words. “How long have you been planning this?”

His head tilted to one side. “Would you believe me that I have been planning this for a few months? While accompanying you in F Country, the feeling of wanting to marry you grew stronger.”

Xia Yu bit her lips to suppress the smile on her face.

“Actually, there were countless situations where I imagined myself doing this. Going down on one knee in front of you with a ring in my hand. I thought about standing in the middle of the square with rose petals around us, or perhaps proposing to you on the stage after giving my acceptance speech.”

Xia Yu tried to imagine the scene where he would do this in public and smiled. She thought that if Huo Yun Chen really pulled something like that, it would make her scared. After all, she was not used to being the center of attraction.

“But no matter how many situations that I could think of, I still thought that I would rather make it private with just you and me. I don’t know what would be your answer and worry that you would not accept my proposal.”

“Huo Yun Chen, are you feeling insecure?” Xia Yu teased him.

The man laughed and nodded. “Un. After all, the person I love is an outstanding nurse and a smart woman.”

Her eyes narrowed. “What are you saying?”

Seeing that a certain someone was not looking happy, Huo Yun Chen wrapped his arms around her waist tightly and rained his kisses on her face.

Xia Yu laughed and struggled to get out of his embrace as his kisses were getting ticklish.

Just then, Huo Yun Chen’s hand arrived at her back, touching her skin. He was suddenly reminded of the dress that she was wearing and pulled away.

“Xia Yu?”

“Un?”

“Actually, I have always wondered about the dress you are wearing.”

“Ah? What do you mean?”

“Turn around for me and let me take a look.”

Not knowing what was going on in his mind, Xia Yu turned around and let him see the back design of her dress.

His eyes grew darker as he looked at the back design again. Her shoulder blade looks very pretty and the color of her dress contrasted against her pale skin. An urge surged, making his body turn hotter. After watching her back for a while, Huo Yun Chen leaned over and pressed his lips on her skin.. He always wanted to leave his mark on her skin the moment he saw her in this dress.
