Chapter 365 - 124 Ten Years of Waiting Living Up to Longing_5
And Bai Ran won full house applause.
Now, engaging in charity work, this action was even more admirable, and as words came to this point, many were willing to offer their support, expressing their willingness to contribute.
"Then I am here to thank everyone, may good people be rewarded."
Gu Chunrong curled her lip, this little girl was really capable, donating ten million and a villa just like that, quite generous indeed. Having lived off her family for so many years, she hadn’t seen her buy even a single piece of clothing for herself; yet, she seemed to care so much about orphans. Who was she pretending for?
Anyway, her Xiangxiang had already clung to the wealthy and powerful Master Pei, this little girl better not provoke her, otherwise she would make sure she regretted it.
She failed to consider that Bai Ran had the Bai Family name and such acts of charity incidentally gilded the Bai Family’s name without spending her own money and also gained her reputation, what was there to be discontented about?
Just then, many lanterns drifted over from the sky, looking incredibly beautiful against the dark sky canvas, filling it with dazzling lights.
"Wow... so beautiful."
For a moment, everyone looked up at the sky, their eyes reflecting the vast array of lights, quite a gorgeous sight.
Bai Ran looked up, frowning slightly.
Yun Ya smiled and pulled Bai Xi away.
At that moment, from behind the crowd, a soothing melody began to play, gradually overriding the clamor of the venue.
People turned around to see, and out of nowhere, a red carpet had been laid on the ground. It stretched from the darkness of the night all the way to Bai Ran’s feet, which no one had noticed before.
A tall figure slowly emerged from the night, standing at the end of the red carpet.
He walked slowly, his figure tall and straight in a finely tailored black suit, his face clean-cut, and his demeanor as refreshing and gentle as jade, like the soothing spring breeze.
The man carried a large bouquet of fiery red roses in his hand and walked with a calm and leisurely stride. His eyes were as deep and bright as his step was composed and unhurried.
Some recognized him, wasn’t that the fourth young master of the Ning Family? What was he up to?
Bai Ran covered her mouth, seeming incredulous.
The man walked up to her and said with a smile, "Ranran, I love you."
There were no sweet nothings or extravagant promises, just five simple words that were his life’s oath.
He handed her the flowers, and Bai Ran received them somewhat dumbfoundedly.
The man suddenly knelt on one knee, took out an exquisite box from his pocket, and opened it to reveal a simple and exquisite diamond ring resting on black velvet.
The diamond sparkled under the lights, refracting a dazzling and blinding light, the most beautiful color in the world, the dream of every woman...
"Marry me."
The man’s deep and refined voice was very soft, as if a breeze could scatter it, yet it landed so clearly, so forcefully in everyone’s hearts and in Bai Ran’s ears.
It made one’s heart involuntarily go through changes, become emotional, and shed tears.
Bai Ran, with tear-blurred eyes, looked at the kneeling man before her, clean-cut and gentle, mature and steady, his tender gaze fixed on her. In those deep black eyes, she seemed to see her own ups and downs over ten years, her struggles, all leading up to this moment of overwhelming joy.
Ten years of waiting, finally rewarded with mutual affection.
The crowd was moved by this scene, finding it incredibly romantic and touching, and someone shouted, "Marry him, marry him..."
Perhaps it was the atmosphere that was too infectious, as everyone began shouting together, filling the venue with the same chant.
Bai Ran nodded frantically, "I will."
Tears rolled down as she was overtaken by surprise and joy.
The man curved his lips into a smile, as pure as a child’s, serene and untainted.
He took the ring, grasped Bai Ran’s fingers, and carefully slid the diamond ring onto her ring finger, a perfect fit, as if it were made for her alone.
At that moment, Bai Ran let out a cry of joy.
Ning Qinglin stood up, gently wiped her tears, and said affectionately, "Don’t cry, your makeup will run."
Bai Ran tossed aside the roses, suddenly tiptoed, wrapped her arms around Ning Qinglin’s neck, and offered her red lips.
The man was taken aback for a moment, then his eyes lit with surprise, and he clasped his hands around her waist, deepening their kiss.
Above them, the sky shimmered with multitudes of colorful lights, framing the beautiful scene of the couple kissing, romantic and enchanting.
People watched and couldn’t help but sigh.
Yun Ya made a gesture to a dark corner, and firework blossomed across the sky instantaneously as if celebrating the birth of the loving couple.
Bai Xi, nestled in Yun Ya’s arms, couldn’t help but sniffle, "Wu wu... Mommy... Mommy will definitely not like Xi’er anymore, only liking Uncle Rabbit."
