Mommy, the wealthy daddy has come to propose again.

There were only a few dishes in the Western restaurant. Bai Ning came to this restaurant often and tasted almost all of them, so he ordered a few signature dishes from memory.

Xiao Boxheng took the menu and looked at it, silently remembering her favorite dishes, and circled the same dishes as hers.

He thought: Since he decided to pursue her, he must first understand her through food, and slowly assimilate his taste to hers.

The waiter quickly brought the steak and thoughtfully cut it into small pieces for the guests to eat.

The beautiful waiter bent slightly and said respectfully: "You two, please use it slowly!"

Then he left the private room with light steps and closed the door politely.

Xiao Boxheng poured some red wine for Bai Ning and started the conversation first.

"Is Ning Ning feeling better?"

Bai Ning chewed the beef carefully in his mouth, and after swallowing it, he said: "It's much better. If nothing happens, I will be discharged from the hospital the day after tomorrow."

Children have delicate skin and tender flesh, so they must stay in the hospital for two days for observation, otherwise the scars on their fair and smooth skin will look unsightly.

Xiao Boxheng nodded: "That's good."

He would watch what she was eating, and he would take a bite in sync with her, as if this would make the food more delicious in his mouth.

Bai Ning took a sip of red wine and asked straight to the point: "Why did you come out to me for something?"

She had a small appetite and already felt full after eating half the steak, so she didn't want to deal with him any more.

Xiao Boxheng paused while drinking the vegetable soup. He put down the bowl and took out two paper towels to gently wipe away the stains from the corners of his mouth.

He looked at Bai Ning sincerely, and took out a delicate box from his coat bag with his hand hidden under the table, then put it on the table and slowly opened it, and the sapphire necklace inside gradually revealed its original shape.

"Bai Ning, it's been rumored throughout the company that I'm interested in you. I haven't given anyone an explanation. That's because it's not a rumor, it's a fact."

Xiao Boxheng pushed the box in front of her, the love in his eyes became stronger, his voice was deep, and small love words came one after another.

"To be honest, I have liked you for a long time, but I have never been embarrassed to say it because I was worried that my feelings would cause trouble to you, so I have not expressed it for a long time."

"When I made the decision to express my love to you in person, I exhausted all my strength... Bai Ning, my heart is beating so fast right now. Don't look at me pretending to be calm on the surface. In fact, My heart is filled with panic."

Bai Ning stared at the table with his eyes lowered and was lost in thought. He only heard him say that he liked her, and the rest of his words were automatically blocked out and completely ignored.

As smart as she is, how could she not be able to read his thoughts all these years?

There is no absolutely pure friendship between a man and a woman. In those five years, he had sacrificed so much for her without reservation, and she already knew his intentions.

"Sorry……"

"Shh," Xiao Boxheng interrupted her, "Don't refuse me in a hurry, just listen to what I have to say, okay?"

He spoke neither hastily nor slowly, and it seemed that he had already thought about what he was going to say tonight.

Bai Ning sighed: "Well, you tell me."

There was nothing she could do against him. After all, he visited Ning Ning in the hospital just two days ago and bought the little guy valuable toys. She couldn't possibly turn her back on him, right?

Xiao Boxheng said affectionately: "Bai Ning, I have clearly expressed my love to you, but you are free in this relationship. You don't have to be too resistant. I will not force you to do anything you don't want to do."

"I love you, do whatever you want."

He is not a very controlling man, he will respect her choice, and whether she likes him or not, he will silently protect her.

Love is selfless, dedication, and respect, not coercion and possession.

Bai Ning bit his lip, and countless images flashed through his mind...

The headache came suddenly and became more and more severe, and she couldn't help but frown slightly in pain.

Upon seeing this, Xiao Boxheng stood up in a panic, touched her head, and asked worriedly: "Bai Ning, are you okay? Did I say something wrong?"

Lan Qichen's face and Xiao Boxheng's face intertwined in the memory. Both men said they loved her, but they had done things to hurt her...

Love is supposed to make the other half happy. From this point of view, how sincere is the love they say?

Bai Ning broke out in a cold sweat. She shook her head and pushed his hand away indifferently: "I'm fine."

Xiao Boxheng was stunned for a moment. Was her behavior repelling him?

But he was relieved to see that she was okay.

"It's fine."
