Chapter 685: Chapter 685 No one saw us

Chapter 685 No one saw us

Yue Ling raises one hand to wipe away the tears that had yet to fall from her eyes. Just like her, each tear was also holding onto dear life.

"This will make a good story for our kids in the future."

Feeling that the boat has finally steadied enough, she lets go of the side frame and held her stomach as she could stop laughing.

"Good thing no one saw us."

Lu Tian smiles at her and wanted to agree. However, before he could move or utter a word, cheerful cries and whistles echoed around them.

"Woah! She said yes!!"

"Woo-hoo!!!"

"Boss!! Happy wife equals happy life!!"

"It's a yes, but not a yes to fall into the lake!"

"Kiss! Kiss! Kiss!"

"What kiss-kiss? Didn't you see that they were going to fall into the water!"

Multiple voices resonate from around the woods in all directions and Yue Ling abruptly stops laughing. She looks around to see where the voices were coming from, but due to the darkness, she could only look back at Lu Tian.

"Tian, I think this lake is haunted."

Lu Tian didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He blinks his heavy eyes a few times before he exhales sharply. Carefully moving up to sit on his seat, he grabs the grip of both paddles.

"It's not haunted. Those voices are our family and subordinates."

"…"

Yue Ling's eyes widen like they were going to pop out of their sockets. Her cheeks flush crimson red and she wishes so badly that she had fallen into the lake and hide.

And it was exactly as Lu Tian had said. Surrounding the ground part of the lake, their family and subordinates scattered to see the proposal.

They were also the ones who had lit the many lotus lanterns that Yue Ling saw earlier.

When they saw that the wooden boat was going back to the deck, each person quickly makes their way back to their cars to meet the couple at the parking lot.

However, unlike those who were just now moving, Grandfather Ji, Ji Jingxu, Inu, Madam Lu, and Old Lu were already standing at the deck. After they lit their lanterns, the group decided to come to the deck to be the first ones to greet the couple.

"Old man, never would I have imagined that our son would be such a romantic man."

Madam Lu pats her chest with one hand as her older hand hugs her husband's waist. She always saw her oldest son as an aloof being, but to see his plan fall into place tonight, she was in awe for his romantic ways.

She looks away from the wooden boat and stares with a sigh at the glowing lanterns floating in the distance.

Both her palms clasped together, and she closes her eyes.

"I pray that only happiness comes to Tian and Yue Ling. Please let the two children suffer no more."

Ji Jingxu was also staring out at the lake. He puts his palms together and looks at the wooden boat heading their way, then at his grandfather.

He closes his eyes and faces the glowing lanterns again as he quietly whispers to himself.

"I know I am asking for too much because I lit three lanterns, but please hear me out. The first lantern, I pray it will help guide the little one in the afterlife. The second lantern, I pray for Jie's endless happiness and the last one, I pray for my grandfather's health to better."

Oblivious to his grandson's prayers, Grandfather Ji stood near the end of the deck with both his hands placed behind his back. Sitting down next to him was Inu's fluffy figure.

Hearing Yue Ling and Lu Tian's laughter in the distance, a faint smile curls on Grandfather Ji's lip. He slightly looks to the left and stares at the glowing lanterns floating away.

"Inu, when my time comes, I hope that will continue to protect her and make her laugh in my stead."

Like he understood the old man, Inu tilts his head to the side and gently rubs his head against Grandfather Ji's leg.

'Are they back yet?"

"Are we too late? Did we miss them?"

Suddenly, another wave of voices calls out from behind and Grandfather Ji turns to look at them. Not only him but so did Ji Jingxu, Madam Lu and Old Lu. The only one who did care was Inu.

As it was Liu Shan, Lu Han, Xu Long, and Lin Hui. They were the second to arrive, but just as they climbed down the stairs, more figures appeared from the parking lot.

"We're here too!"

This time, it was Yue Ling's design team, Lu Tian's Wolf Team, the Zhao family, Zhong Yang, and Housekeeper Hu, along with Nie Chen, Ting, Liangcai, Ye Fei, and Xue Yi.

However, due to there being too many of them, all the subordinates decided to wait in the parking lot as they can still see down to the lake.

"Ah! I see them! I see them!"

Zhao Ya'Er stood next to Xu Long and exclaims when she spotted the wooden boat coming closer to the deck. She waves both her arms out in the air and grins from ear to ear.

"Yue-Yue! Yue-Yue! Over here!"

Her voice fell and like everyone felt her energy, each person couldn't help but howl in cheers again at the two people in the boat.

Lu Tian calmly rows the boat as Yue Ling watched the glowing lanterns float further and further away. She will engrave this moment deep inside her heart and never forget as every year, she will light a lantern for her child.

When she heard the joyful cheers again, she turns to look at the deck. She inhales a mouthful of air in surprise as the lamp posts were turns on and she could see everyone.

Lu Tian had said it to their family and subordinates, but she didn't expect it to everyone.

However, she sighs a soft smile and wanted to cry but held herself back.

The first time Lu Tian proposed, it was only the two of them, but tonight, they were able to share this moment with their loved and cherished ones.

"Yue Ling."

Lu Tian calmly calls her name and a look of hesitation dawned on him.

"About out engagement… Do you… What I mean to say is, do you want…"

He pauses in his words and frowns. For someone who always knows what to say, why is he having such a hard time now?

"I was wondering, do you…"

He pauses again and his frown deepens. He tries to think of how to say what is on his mind.

Yue Ling watched his struggles with his words. She chuckles and decides to help him out.

"I don't mind if the world knows."

Lu Tian's entire being went stiff before it gradually turns soft. He smiles subtly at her and couldn't thank the heavens enough for letting him meet her.

She is the only person who knows what is on his mind. However…

"Are you sure? Once the news is released, there's no going back. Even if you want to call it off, I will be stubborn and never let you go."

Yue Ling didn't expect this kind of response from him. It was comical in one way, yet serious in another.

She chuckles with her shoulders trembling and looks back at the floating lanterns.

"I am sure. As long as you have me in your heart, it is good enough for me."

Lu Tian's ears turned crimson red out of happiness, but due to the darkness, she or no one else was able to see. He smiles bashfully and continues to row the boat with a satisfied smile.

"And my heart belongs to you, along with my body and soul."
