Chapter 1052: Promise
"No need, Master. I’ll head back to the room with Mengting. I prefer chatting in her room."
Chen Tianlong said deliberately. The relationship between him and Wu Mengting couldn’t be simply described with the word ’friends’; their feelings had already reached a fever pitch.
"Aha, that works too, go ahead. I’ll just stay here and drink tea." Tan Tian picked up on the underlying meaning in Chen Tianlong’s words, perhaps after hearing his advice, he had an epiphany.
Chen Tianlong didn’t linger any longer and directly stood up, walking towards Wu Mengting who was approaching him, and grabbed her hand to head to her room.
Wu Mengting clearly heard their conversation earlier and although she wasn’t sure what Chen Tianlong meant, one thing was certain—something unexpected was going to happen soon.
Upon unlocking the door, Wu Mengting was extremely nervous. Although they were a couple, doing such things at her grandfather’s house still felt quite embarrassing.
After entering the room, Chen Tianlong locked the door, which made Wu Mengting even more tense.
"Ahem... Tianlong, what... what do you want to do?"
Wu Mengting’s face had turned red, with genuine shyness that was tinged with a hint of bashfulness, coupled with her exquisite face, she was utterly captivating.
At this moment, Chen Tianlong took out the item in his other hand, which was a bag containing a dress and a necklace.
"Hehe, I’m giving you some gifts, but you’ll need to change out of your clothes to try them on. I’m just blocking the door so the master won’t barge in later and see, it wouldn’t be good." Chen Tianlong grinned.
"Ah? You... you bought me clothes?"
Wu Mengting was stunned, but soon her face was covered with a smile, "Tianlong, you don’t need to bring gifts, just visiting is enough, there’s no need for clothes."
"You don’t like them? If you don’t like them, I’ll take them back and give them to someone else."
With that, Chen Tianlong pretended to take the items back.
Wu Mengting, in surprise, quickly snatched them back and hugged them tightly, "Hmph, taking back gifts for me, that’s really not nice."
"Haha...."
Watching Wu Mengting’s adorable look, Chen Tianlong laughed heartily, "Alright, Mengting, quickly try on the clothes so I can see if they fit you. I guessed your size and told the shopkeeper, who gave me these measurements."
"Ah? How did you describe me to the shopkeeper?"
Wu Mengting was taken aback, her cheeks flushing as she asked. Usually, when buying clothes without the person present, you have to report height, weight, and measurements.
"I gave your measurements and your height!" Chen Tianlong said without hesitation.
Although Wu Mengting had already anticipated it, hearing it directly from Chen Tianlong was still very embarrassing; this guy even knew her measurements, which definitely meant he had been observing her quite often.
Thinking of this, Wu Mengting felt too shy to raise her head.
"Alright then, I’ll go change clothes first." Wu Mengting said, then taking the clothes, she planned to run to the bathroom.
"Mengting, you can change right here, I’ll just turn around, changing in the bathroom might make them dirty." Chen Tianlong laughed.
"Well...."
"Don’t worry, I won’t peek." Chen Tianlong said very earnestly.
Besides, if he really wanted to peek, even if she went into the bathroom, he could still see; after all, he has the X-ray vision ability, right?
Wu Mengting’s pretty face flushed again and she softly said, "Alright... Okay then, turn around."
Upon hearing this, Chen Tianlong immediately turned around, allowing Wu Mengting to breathe a sigh of relief. She wasn’t worried about Chen Tianlong peeking, but felt nervous and shy inside.
To be honest, she wanted Chen Tianlong to see, as it would show how much Chen Tianlong likes her; otherwise, how could she stand out among so many beauties?
Soon, Wu Mengting finished changing, but just as she was about to turn around, she suddenly felt two large hands wrap around her from behind, an incredibly warm and safe feeling.
No doubt, it was Chen Tianlong’s embrace.
Only surprise, no panic, Wu Mengting quietly enjoyed this rare moment. After all, even for couples, they can’t be together every day, especially with someone as busy as Chen Tianlong, who is always running around everywhere.
After the hug, Chen Tianlong released Wu Mengting; some things, even if not explicitly stated, can still be felt by the other party. And the two were in just such a situation.
Chen Tianlong turned Wu Mengting around and then took out a delicate little box from his pocket.
Of course, inside the box was a white-gold and diamond-studded necklace.
"What’s this now?"
After that hug, Wu Mengting and Chen Tianlong’s relationship immediately shot up significantly, leaving no room for hesitation.
"Haha, open it and you’ll know." Chen Tianlong didn’t reveal it directly, adding a touch of mystery.
Upon hearing this, Wu Mengting quickly opened the box to find a silver necklace inside, with a beautifully shaped heart at its center adorned with two diamonds.
Wu Mengting estimated conservatively that this necklace was worth more than a hundred thousand.
Holding the necklace, Wu Mengting was filled with excitement; although she is now a company’s vice president, with an annual salary of millions, the value isn’t the point. What matters is that Chen Tianlong values her highly.
"This is... giving me such a valuable gift, I’m a bit embarrassed." Wu Mengting said with a smile, but inside she was thrilled.
Chen Tianlong valued Wu Mengting, not only because he really liked her but also as Tan Tian mentioned, Wu Mengting couldn’t be abandoned. She is Chen Tianlong’s financial pillar; now Elder Tan treats him so well, largely because of Wu Mengting. If he ever abandoned her, Tan Tian might not pay him as much attention.
"Because you are precious to me, thank you for your silent support. I will love you forever, protect you. I hope you will accept my proposal. I love you, Mengting!"
These words were both a confession and a vow to Wu Mengting.
At this moment, Wu Mengting was stunned; she never expected that Chen Tianlong was here to propose today.
Without saying a word, besides feeling excited, Wu Mengting remained excited, throwing herself into Chen Tianlong’s arms, her efforts finally came full circle.
Till today, Chen Tianlong finally understood one thing: love is important, but it isn’t omnipotent. Having love doesn’t mean living easily in reality.
And in this world where the strong are kings, he needed a wife like Wu Mengting, so Chen Tianlong chose to keep Wu Mengting.
With Wu Mengting’s embrace, she already gave the answer that made Chen Tianlong satisfied.
