Chapter 777: Chapter 774
My little ancestor, where do you want to go...?
This lingering call made Li Zaijun stagger beneath her feet, nearly causing her to fall.
Her face turned red and then pale, and she quickly glanced at her aunt and uncle, signaling them with her eyes.
This wasn’t just between them; the adults were still here.
Li Zaijun felt panicked and embarrassed, fearing that their secret should be exposed in front of the elders.
But even though she signaled to him, he appeared as if he hadn’t seen it and walked straight toward her with a light smirk on his lips.
The surrounding crowd, realizing what was happening, couldn’t help but gasp in surprise and cheer.
Mr. Lu and Mrs. Lu naturally saw this scene as well.
Li Zaijun wished she could find a hole to crawl into, her cheeks burning red, really wanting to turn around and leave, but she was blocked by the people around her.
In a moment, she became the new center of attention.
Shen Lin looked at the cornered young girl, his eyes growing deeper.
In the end, he still held the bouquet, and step by step, he approached her.
Li Zaijun hung her head and turned it away, not daring to look at him; her two little hands clenched her sleeves tightly.
But then, she suddenly felt him lean closer, and then he whispered, "Baby, can I get down on one knee?"
As he spoke, he stepped back as if preparing to kneel, which scared Li Zaijun half to death; she hurriedly grabbed his wrist, her face burning red, and gritted her teeth, "You dare! If you dare to kneel, my uncle will skin you alive."
His past romantic history needed more exposure, did it?
If he knelt, their relationship would be confirmed.
As if terrified he would actually kneel, she quickly took the bouquet from his hands amid the cheering crowd, looked down embarrassedly, and tousled her hair casually.
Mr. Lu and Mrs. Lu naturally saw this scene as well, especially Mrs. Lu, who stared at them with wide-eyed surprise.
This Shen Lin and... Little Zaijun?
What’s happening!?
Mrs. Lu’s heart skipped a beat, and she quickly looked at her husband.
Mr. Lu also felt surprised, but compared to Mrs. Lu, he watched Shen Lin with more serious scrutiny.
At that moment,
Shen Lin looked earnestly at her and said word by word, "You are a lovely good girl, and I believe you will find happiness for a lifetime."
Upon hearing this, Li Zaijun’s previously anxious and nervous heart finally relaxed a bit.
Thank goodness he hadn’t said anything too explicit.
But deep down, a subtle feeling emerged, and she blushed slightly as she looked at him and subconsciously whispered, "How do you know I will be happy?"
Upon hearing this, President Shen laughed.
His eyes always looked flirtatious and romantic, but this time, when he chuckled softly, he looked genuine and pure, without any hint of jest.
"Because you will have me behind you for the rest of your life," he said as he leaned down slightly, whispering in her ear.
Li Zaijun: "..."
A pathetic shiver ran through her throat, and she held her breath.
She stared unwavering at Shen Lin, who was smiling in his eyes, and he reached up to ruffle her hair.
He was six or seven years older than her.
He had walked the paths she had and those she had not; she had already suffered much hardship yet remained innocent, sincere, kind, and pure.
He was aware of the evils of society and the hardships of making a living in this world.
Therefore—
