One and Only: Doting CEO's Infinite Love

Chapter 477: Kneeling on One Knee to Propose

When they first entered, the salesperson’s expression was clearly not as enthusiastic as it is now.But after recognizing the person, they immediately changed their attitude—

Even an earring can be so expensive, how much more expensive could a ring be?

Without another word, Song Song turned around to leave, only to be pulled back halfway by the man. He snarled at her, "Stay right here and don’t go anywhere!"

"Xiao Jinghuai, I don’t want a ring!"

Song Song put up a stance.

Xiao Jinghuai felt truly helpless, "Then what do you want?"

Song Song pursed her lips, her star-like eyes fixed on him. What she really wanted was simple, just his true heart.

But that was also the hardest thing—

"Want a divorce?"

Xiao Jinghuai suddenly asked.

Before Song Song could answer, he added, "Humph! Don’t even think about it unless I’m dead!"

"You—"

Song Song was almost driven mad by him,

She was angry at how easily he could utter the word "dead." That is such a terrifying thing, how could he say it so casually?

At this moment, the salesperson had already picked out a few rings and walked over, "Miss, you have a tranquil and serene air, which makes more intricate designs unsuitable for you. I’ve chosen a few rings that are well-crafted but with simpler designs. See if you like any?"

Honestly, which woman can resist rings, especially ones bought by the man she loves?

Song Song’s heart was moved, and her eyes unconsciously glanced towards the counter. Those rings seemed to possess some magical power, drawing her closer.

Until she reached out to pick up one of the rings—

The salesperson was delighted, "You have a good eye, Miss. This ring is one-of-a-kind globally and symbolizes uniqueness. You can try it on; it’ll look amazing."

Song Song held the ring with her fair hand for a long while, but eventually put it back, saying, "... Thank you, please put it away! I’m not buying."

After speaking, she left without looking back.

This time Xiao Jinghuai did not chase after her, his deep gaze fixed on her thin, small back. It seemed as if a tear was suddenly torn in his heart.

He seemed to have no idea what she truly wanted.

He felt more bewildered than ever.

For the first time, he realized he might also be quite foolish.

...

Song Song walked outside alone, occasionally glancing back to see if the man was following her.

Seeing nothing after a few looks, she gradually lost hope.

Alas! She knew he was just acting on a whim.

Since it was already late, she decided not to spend money on a taxi, and instead take the bus. Just as she reached the stop, she heard a commotion behind her—

Song Song turned back in surprise to see a person dressed in a Little Yellow Duck costume walking over, surrounded by a bunch of children eagerly trying to take photos with him.

Such scenes are quite common on the streets. Song Song thought it must be some new store’s promotional event!

However, the Little Yellow Duck seemed somewhat impatient and not very professional.

But it still looked a little funny, enough to make one chuckle.

After watching for a moment, Song Song withdrew her gaze, secured her earphones, and listened to music—

Lost in the music, she didn’t hear the footsteps getting closer to her.

Minutes later, she felt someone gently tapping her shoulder. She removed her earphones and turned to see the Little Yellow Duck standing in front of her, making hand gestures.

Song Song was puzzled; was this a prize giveaway event?

Because she had encountered these situations before.

After a good while of gesturing, Song Song still couldn’t understand his intentions. The bus was about to arrive, so she quickly smiled and waved her hand, saying, "Thank you, but I don’t need anything. I’m about to catch the bus, goodbye!"

At this point, the bus had come to a stop at the stop sign, and Song Song was about to step on when she clearly heard a "bang" behind her.

The sound wasn’t loud, but inexplicably shook her heart.

Plus, the discussions from behind constantly stimulated her eardrums.

She turned her head in confusion to find the Little Yellow Duck kneeling on one knee, holding an exquisite brocade box.

Song Song instantly felt something strike her heart, and her breathing became rapid.

The bus driver began to lose patience, "Hey! Are you getting on or not?"

Song Song had tears in her eyes and softly said, "No, I’m not getting on, you can go!"

Bus driver: "Crazy!"

"..."

Amidst all the noise, she could only focus on the Little Yellow Duck—

She really didn’t expect him to actually kneel before her in front of so many people.

"Pfft, don’t think doing this will change my mind."

Speaking, she had already picked up the brocade box in the Little Yellow Duck’s hand, "That shop’s rings are super expensive. I don’t want it, so you can return it later!"

Opening the brocade box, a beautiful, yet unfamiliar brand of ring appeared before her.

Moreover, it seemed a bit large and didn’t fit well.

"Did you go to another store to buy it?" Song Song asked.

At this moment, the Little Yellow Duck started gesturing wildly again, as if excitedly dancing...

The more Song Song watched, the more she felt something was off. Would Xiao Jinghuai act like this?

Even if he played the Little Yellow Duck, it would probably be a cold-hearted one.

Her ring hadn’t even been removed yet, and she walked over, standing on her tiptoes to pull the Little Yellow Duck’s headgear upward—

Suddenly, there was a groan, "Gently, gently, Song Song, be gentle. You’re pulling my hair."

Song Song’s eyes flickered; this was not Xiao Jinghuai’s voice at all, it sounded like...

The headgear was finally pulled off, revealing a sweaty and ruggedly handsome face, with a smile hanging on.

"Why is it you?"

Song Song was surprised, "Lawyer Xiao, what are you doing?"

Xiao Ran was truly an amateur at chasing girls. He said awkwardly, "Song Song, I quite like you. I liked you from the first time I saw you."

"I-I don’t know how to express my feelings, but please give me a chance. I will try my best to make you happy."

Song Song: "..."

"Since you have already put on the ring I bought for you, that means you’re willing to accept me."

Xiao Ran said shyly.

At this time, Song Song realized she was still wearing the ring. She hurriedly took it off and put it back in the brocade box, "Lawyer Xiao, I didn’t know you felt like this about me..."

"If I’ve ever done anything to make you misunderstand, I can apologize, but please don’t do this."

"Not to mention, I am still a married woman, how could you..."

Xiao Ran immediately corrected himself, "I can wait, as long as it takes. Don’t feel any emotional pressure. Without you, I never planned to marry in this lifetime."

"I used to think women were too much trouble, so I never considered settling down, only focusing on my career."

Song Song was truly at a loss, "Lawyer Xiao, I am a woman, just as troublesome."

Xiao Ran looked up, excited, "No, you’re different, you’re... wonderful, truly wonderful."

Upon hearing this, Song Song’s heart instantly softened.

She thought how nice it would be if he was the one saying these words to her.
