Love So Sweet

627 Ninety-Nine Roses

Zhang Yi Hai did not answer her question very quickly. Instead, he turned his head slightly to look at one of the servers who was standing not too far away from him.

Suddenly, the light around them dimmed.

Fang Su Jin looked around anxiously, wondering what was going on. Because the lights in the restaurant were dimmed, the city light from a distance away looked a little brighter. Fang Su Jin was fascinated by this view for a few seconds. Then, noticing that someone was walking over to their table, Fang Su Jin looked up.

Her eyes widened in surprise upon finding that a waiter was standing beside them with a large bouquet of red roses in his hand.

Fang Su Jin did not have to guess to know that there should be around ninety-nine roses in the waiter’s hand. Fang Su Jin stared at the roses with a dazed expression, wondering what was going on. She wondered if the waiter had arrived at the wrong table.

However, when Fang Su Jin looked around again, she realized that there were no guests around their nearby table.

“Miss Fang Su Jin?” The waiter spoke.

“Yes?” Fang Su Jin stared back at the waiter inquiringly.

“These flowers are for you. Please accept them.” The waiter pushed the bouquet to her.

.....

Fang Su Jin was still a little dazed. Without asking anything about the flower, she held the bouquet and stared at it for a long time.

The flowers were very pretty and the smell was very fragrant.

But wait, who sent them to her?

Before Fang Su Jin could figure out the answer, soft music was heard, coming from a violin.

Dimmed light, music, and a bouquet of fiery red roses. Everything around her gave off romantic feelings.

Fang Su Jin shifted her gaze briefly and saw that a man was playing the violin from a distance. Her gaze met with the musicians and the person walked over to her table.

Her heart was racing.

Fang Su Jin turned to Zhang Yi Hai, wanting to discuss with him what was going on.

However, she soon realized that the man was no longer in his seat.

Fang Su Jin looked around anxiously and finally found him beside her. But why was he kneeling down on one knee?

A thought came to her mind and it was making her slightly dizzy.

“Su Jin,” Zhang Yi Hai spoke before Fang Su Jin could say a word.

“Yes?”

The young man put his hand in his pocket and pulled out a box. He opened the box slowly, revealing a sparkling diamond ring. “Su Jin, please, marry me.”

Her eyes opened slightly while Fang Su Jin stared at Zhang Yi Hai with a stunned expression. She thought of the red roses in her arms and the romantic atmosphere around them. There was also Zhang Yi Hai’s hot and strange gaze.

Fang Su Jin continued to stare at the man without giving him her answer.

At this time, she was too shocked by his proposal that Fang Su Jin did not know how to react. She first needed to calm down and process everything.

“I know that we haven’t been with each other for a long time,” Zhang Yi Hai spoke. “But I can assure you that this proposal was something that I have been thinking about properly. Su Jin, the moment I approached you, marriage has always been my goal.”

Fang Su Jin had watched a lot of proposal scenes in the drama she had followed, but, this was the first time that someone had proposed to her. Of course, she did not know how she should react.

She had thought that a proposal scene in the drama was romantic, but she had never thought that it could be this heart-throbbing.

It made her excited and restless at the same time. She wanted to smile and cry at the same time. It turned her mind into a mess.

“We did not get together for a long time, but I can assure you that this is something that I wanted to do. Su Jin...” Zhang Yi Hai paused to stare at his beloved. Then, a shaky smile curled on his lips. “I love you. And I want to grow old with you.”

Fang Su Jin felt as if someone had shot her straight in the heart. Who would have thought that a simple ‘I love you’ could make her feel this way?

“The only request I have for doing well in my exam is this.” Zhang Yi Hai spoke. “I hoped that you will make me the happiest man on earth and agree to this request. And in return, I promise to make you the happiest for as long you are with me.” He inhaled a deep breath and continued. “Fang Su Jin, will you marry me?”

Fang Su Jin stared at the man, who was still kneeling on one knee.

He seemed to be smiling, but Fang Su Jin could sense that Zhang Yi Hai was very anxious at this time. Then, her gaze shifted to the diamond ring resting in the jewelry box. The diamond was winking at her as if to tell her that she should accept his proposal.

Fang Su Jin wondered just when did Zhang Yi Hai had prepared all this.

The waiter was playing romantic music in the background. But at this time, Zhang Yi Hai could not hear anything. He continued to stare at his girlfriend, waiting for her answer.

The silence between them felt as if it was going to be forever. The longer that Fang Su Jin remained quiet, the more anxious his heart turned to be.

Zhang Yi Hai was mostly afraid that Fang Su Jin would not agree to this request.

After a moment that seemed like forever, Fang Su Jin finally nodded. She stretched her hand to Zhang Yi Hai and spoke her answer, “Yes. I will.”

A smile bloomed on Zhang Yi Hai’s lips.

Fang Su Jin thought that his smile at this time was even more beautiful than the flowers in her hand.

Then, Zhang Yi Hai took out the ring from the box and slid it onto Fang Su Jin’s finger.

The waiters who were around to help with this proposal came out to congratulate the couple. Then, one of them took out a cake to celebrate this joyous occasion.
