Under the astonished gaze of the crowd, and as if his previous words hadn't been shocking enough, Ma Ningyuan spoke again. "Qingyue, I truly love you. My heart is full of you. Say you'll marry me, and I promise we'll grow old together."
"Please, let me take your hand and cherish you for all our days!"
As he spoke, Ma Ningyuan shamelessly reached out to grasp Lin Qingyue's delicate hand.
"Agree to him, marry him!"
"I'm so moved. If a man proposed to me like this, I'd say yes in a heartbeat and have five kids for him!"
"Yes, Young Master Ma is so handsome! He and Miss Lin Qingyue are a match made in heaven, a perfect pair!"
At the prompting of the paid commenters, the young masters and young ladies attending the birthday party all began to chime in, loudly urging Lin Qingyue to accept Ma Ningyuan's proposal.
Some even took out their phones, ready to record this touching moment—the magnificent union of the Ma and Lin families!
"I'm sorry."
