Chapter 336 The Proposal Was Successful
Zhao Zhaodi sat quietly to the side, eating her food and enjoying the lively yet harmonious scene, feeling extremely content.
Every now and then, Chen Runping would invite Zhao Zhaodi to dance, and Mu Li and Shen Shanshan would sometimes invite Zhao Zhaodi to dance as well.
As everyone was having a great time, a soothing and beautiful dance tune quietly began to play.
As the music started, all the lights in the dance hall suddenly went out, visibility was extremely low, and the surroundings were plunged into darkness.
This sudden turn of events surprised everyone, but they quickly calmed down.
At this moment, Chen Runping walked to Zhao Zhaodi's side, bent down slightly, extended his right hand, and said softly:
"My dear Zhao Di, may I have this dance?"
Faced with Chen Runping's sincere invitation, Zhao Zhaodi hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded and got up to slide into the center of the dance floor with him.
Chen Runping gently embraced Zhao Zhaodi, and the two danced lightly to the slow music, like a match made in heaven.
Their steps were coordinated and their bodies were closely intertwined; every turn and every movement was perfectly synchronized.
In this dark dance floor, they seemed to forget everything around them, focusing only on the tacit communication between them.
However, just as the dance music was about to end, Chen Runping suddenly stopped.
He pulled Zhao Zhaodi into a tight embrace with both hands.
Without hesitation, he lowered his head and gently pressed his lips to Zhao Zhaodi's lips.
At that moment, time seemed to stand still, and the whole world consisted of only the two of them.
"Runping, everyone's here, you can't do this..."
Zhao Zhaodi seemed to wake from a dream. She tried to break free from Chen Runping's embrace while gently pushing against his chest with her hand.
However, Chen Runping was completely immersed in this deep affection and could not listen to Zhao Zhaodi's advice at all.
"It's okay, everyone's like this, always in pairs. Besides, this gives Li Bin and Zhu Jing a chance to be alone."
We'll only be here for a short while, so you'd better pay attention.
Chen Runping said gently, then decisively reached out a hand to support Zhao Zhaodi's petite head, and slowly approached her, gently kissing her.
Meanwhile, the two of them moved slowly to the accompaniment of melodious dance music, and Chen Runping never stopped kissing Zhao Zhaodi.
As the music ended, the lights suddenly came on without warning.
Because the light was too strong, everyone instinctively raised their hands to shield their eyes.
It took Zhao Zhaodi a while to gradually get used to it, but just then, she was surprised to find that Chen Runping was already kneeling on one knee, holding a shiny gold ring in his hand.
Chen Runping gazed at Zhao Zhaodi with deep affection and asked softly:
"Zhao Di, my dear, will you marry me?"
Before he finished speaking, the people around him began to shout excitedly:
"Marry him, marry him, you must marry him!"
Cheers echoed throughout the space.
Zhao Zhaodi was already blushing deeply. She looked around at the scene before her, somewhat at a loss, and stammered:
"Runping, what... what are you doing?"
Seeing this, Mu Li, who was standing to the side, couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle. Then she stepped forward and gently nudged Zhao Zhaodi, smiling as she advised:
"Zhao Zhaodi, don't hesitate! Chen Runping is sincerely proposing to you! He put a lot of thought and effort into this plan, so say yes!"
"Zhaodi, let's get married!"
Chen Runping gazed at Zhao Zhaodi with deep affection, his eyes filled with expectation and love. He remained kneeling on one knee, holding the dazzling ring steadily in his hand.
Zhu Jing, standing to the side, was beaming with excitement and kept urging him on:
"Zhao Di, say yes! Don't miss out on such a great man!"
The people around them chimed in, shouting all at once:
"Zhao Di, hurry up and say yes! Chen Runping's knees are almost scraped raw, nod your head quickly!"
Shouts rose and fell, creating a lively yet warm atmosphere.
Just then, the impatient Wang Bin couldn't hold back any longer and shouted:
"Chen Runping, stop dawdling and put the ring on her finger right now!"
Upon hearing this, Chen Runping didn't dare to delay for a moment and quickly reached out to grab Zhao Zhaodi's left hand.
However, Zhao Zhaodi seemed a little shy and hesitant at this moment. She simply stretched out her hand slightly, her lips parted but she did not utter a single word.
In the blink of an eye, Chen Runping carefully slipped the ring onto Zhao Zhaodi's left middle finger without hesitation.
The moment the ring slid onto his finger, a thunderous cheer erupted from the crowd.
Immediately afterwards, Muli walked up quickly, holding a bouquet of nine vibrant roses.
This bouquet was clearly carefully selected and packaged; each rose was blooming so brilliantly and beautifully.
Chen Runping quickly reached out to take the flowers and then happily handed them to Zhao Zhaodi.
Zhao Zhaodi accepted the roses with a hint of surprise, gently inhaled their fragrance, and a happy smile spread across her face.
She raised her head, looked tenderly at Chen Runping, and asked coquettishly:
"Where did you get these roses from?"
“I cut these from a grandma’s garden. When she heard that I needed them for my marriage proposal, she took the scissors and cut the nine most beautiful flowers in her garden for me.”
Chen Runping said with a smile.
Did you give her the money?
Zhao Zhaodi asked softly.
“I offered her money, but she refused. She said she wanted to send her a bag of wedding candy when we got married so she could share in the joy.”
Chen Runping also whispered in Zhao Zhaodi's ear.
"Give me a kiss, give me a kiss."
Wang Bin was the first to join in the commotion.
The lights in the ballroom immediately dimmed, and slow dance music began to play.
Chen Runping embraced Zhao Zhaodi and danced to a slow melody, kissing her tenderly as they danced.
"Zhao Di, thank you for agreeing to marry me."
Others joined in the dance music.
......
After the dance ended, Chen Runping escorted Zhao Zhaodi home, where Zhao Yuan was sitting in the main room watching television.
As soon as Chen Runping entered, he greeted Zhao Yuan.
"Uncle, we're back."
"Oh, you're back."
Zhao Yuan looked up and saw Chen Runping holding Zhao Zhaodi's hand. He quickly noticed the ring on Zhao Zhaodi's hand.
Zhao Zhaodi quickly broke free from Chen Runping's hand, hid her ring-wearing hand behind her back, her face flushed, and then hurriedly fled back to her room.
"Xiao Chen, please have a seat."
Zhao Yuan gestured for Chen Runping to sit down on the sofa opposite him.
"Did you accept my proposal?"
Zhao Yuan asked.
