Shen Xian smiled mischievously and winked at Shi Mu. She patted her hand and said earnestly, “It’s okay if you don’t understand now. You’ll understand in the future.”

On the night of the new year, the Shi family sat together and watched the television. They only dispersed when the bell rang at midnight.

Yi Zheng held Shi Man’s hand mysteriously and pulled her back to her room.

Shi Zhong stared warily at the two of them as they left side by side and gave Shi Mu a look.

Shi Mu immediately understood and tiptoed up the stairs. He leaned against Shi Man’s door to eavesdrop. Unexpectedly, the door was suddenly opened from the inside.

Shi Man looked at her brother expressionlessly and said angrily, “Go back to sleep. Tell Dad that he doesn’t have to worry about me.”

“Huh?”

Before he could finish, Shi Man closed the door with a bang. Shi Mu happened to touch his nose and squatted down to cover it in pain.

Bai Xue happened to see this scene from behind and couldn’t help but laugh.

When Shi Mu heard that someone was laughing at him, he was about to turn around and scold her when he saw that it was Bai Xue. His anger instantly subsided. He scratched his head with a smile and said, “It’s you. Why aren’t you sleeping?”

“I heard from Sister Su Tang that she knows how to design clothes, so 1 want to go to her room to take a look. Aren’t you going back?” Bai Xue looked at him from a distance with a smile.

Shi Mu quickly raised his hand with feigned interest. “I’m interested too. Can I go with you?”

Bai Xue blinked in surprise, but she still nodded and agreed. “Alright, come with me. Sister Su Tang won’t stop you from entering, right?”

“Of course not. I have a good relationship with Su Tang!” Shi Mu replied casually. Looking at Bai Xue’s smiling eyes, he suddenly stammered and explained, “She’s also my sister, so we…”

“I understand.” Bai Xue smiled in understanding. She turned around and stopped talking, but her face was slightly red.

Shi Man heaved a sigh of relief when she heard the distant voice outside. She glared at the man in front of her. “Tell me, what do you want?”

“Didn’t 1 say that I wanted to give you your present when we re alone?” Yi Zheng sat on her sofa as if he was familiar with her, and looking like he was staying there for the night.

Shi Man rolled her eyes and sat down opposite him. She opened her palm matter-of-factly. “Where’s the gift? Give it to me.”

“Close your eyes,” Yi Zheng said with a wicked smile.

Although it was already past midnight, the fireworks outside still illuminated the entire sky. Colorful light shone through the window on his face. The light flickered, and Shi Man really closed her eyes.

Yi Zheng looked at her quietly for a while. From her exquisite and beautiful eyebrows to her thin chin, his gaze finally landed on her fair and slender fingers. He slowly took out the gift he had prepared from his pocket.

Shi Man felt someone suddenly put something cold on her finger. She opened her eyes in shock and saw a gem ring flickering with a red glow on her finger.

“You…” Shi Man looked at Yi Zheng in shock. Only then did she realize that he had knelt on one knee in front of her. His eyes were filled with hot and seductive love.

“Let’s get engaged, okay?” Yi Zheng’s dark eyes were filled with the reflection of a girl. From the first time he noticed Shi Man’s change, he had been hopelessly fascinated by her.

Shi Man was stunned for a moment before the corners of her lips curled up unconsciously. She teased in a frivolous tone, “President, isn’t your proposal too sloppy? I saw on television that proposals by a domineering CEO are filled with flowers and balloons. Is this what you use?”

She waved her finger proudly, and the ruby glowed brightly.

Yi Zheng smiled and took her hand to the window. He pointed at the suddenly silent sky outside and said calmly, “Who said I didn’t prepare anything? 1’11 give you all the stars in the sky.”

“Where?” Shi Man stuck her head out and saw the dark night. She couldn’t help but mock, “You didn’t see the weather forecast, right? It’s not sunny these two days, but there are no stars for you… Look!”

Before she could finish speaking, a loud bang suddenly came from outside. Right on the heels of that, dozens of fireworks bloomed in the air at the same time. They connected in the pitch-black night sky, illuminating the night into day. In the end, they connected in an overwhelming manner.

“Manman, can you get engaged to me?”

Shi Man looked blankly at the fireworks that had lit up above her head for a long time. She turned around in disbelief and met Yi Zheng’s eyes, which were even brighter than the fireworks.

He hugged her waist tightly and whispered into her ear, “Manman, without the real stars, I’ll make a star screen for you myself. Do you like it?”

Shi Man was shocked. After being stunned for a moment, she raised her hand mischievously and shook her finger with the ring. She changed the topic. “You’re in the wrong order. You can only put it on me if I agree.”

Yi Zheng pursed his lips and chuckled. He planted a kiss on her finger as they got closer and closer. “Yes, but I’m confident of success..”
