"She wasn"t the one being sung for, so why was she crying?"

"Sweet, I"m not the best in the world, but I can try to be the best I can be. I"ve made a lot of mistakes, but that was in the past. You"re my present now and I want you to be my future.

I promise never to hurt you again, I promise to be the shoulder you can lean on... "

"No... no, he is not about to... Jin Yue!..."

Before Xin Yong could get herself together, the handsome man on the stage had gone down on one knee.

"Sweet... will you marry me? "

Fireworks exploded in Xin Yong"s head. She felt like collapsing on the floor. The spectators were already screaming in surprise and astonishment at how a birthday party had turned to an engagement party. Xin Yong could vividly spot a glittering object in a small box he was holding. Her legs refused to move, her eyes remained transfixed, staring at him unbelievably.

The people, seeing that she wasn"t moving a bit started screaming the usuals.

"Say Yes!... Say Yes! "

Xin Yong didn"t know when she was dragged up to the stage. As she approached him, her heart beat increased rapidly.

"No... no, she wasn"t ready to get married now! She still hadn"t made her debut yet!

Wait!, she wasn"t ready to get pregnant and get fat and ugly! no... no! "

"Jin Yue!, ...why? "

Xin Yong, trembling slightly tried to lift him off the ground but Jin Yue remained pinned to the floor.

"Why didn"t you tell me?..., I"m not ready yet, I still have a lot to do, I... "

"I"ll wait... We"ll wait... "

Jin Yue cut her off immediately. Xin Yong could see his reddened eyes and sincere gaze, as though if she said anything contrary, he would just drop dead.

"I"m not ready to bear children yet... I want to sing... "

"I can wait... "

"Just say Yes you moron! What"s that!, if you say anything else, I"ll surely cut off your legs, hurry up, don"t keep the young man waiting! "

Liling kept on screaming, oblivious of her surrounding.

Her eyes were pinned to the couple on the stage as she used her back hands to wipe off her tears. Liu Wei who had been staring at her was extremely surprised. He hadn"t seen this side of her, so lively!

"I love you, Sweet. I really do... "

At this point, Xin Yong couldn"t stop the tears from falling. She knew he did that to prove to her that he really loved her. To prove to the whole world that he really loved her.

"Yes, Yes, I"ll marry you. I love you too! "

Jin Yue"s joy knew no bounds as he put the ring on her. He stood up immediately and drew her into his arms, twirling her around.

The crowd exploded in cheers and admiration.

Out of joy, Liling turned to her side and hugged Liu Wei screaming excitedly.

"She"s getting married! She"s getting married! "

" "

Liu Wei was caught off guard. Her grip on his neck was so tight that he found it hard to breathe.

Immediately, the lights to the auditorium came back on and Liling, realizing what she was doing quickly released him and straightened herself.

"Sorry... I was just carried away. "
Liu Wei, didn"t think much of it, he turned to tell her it was okay but his words stuck to his lips.

"Did she have such weak tear glands? This little display made her cry this much? "

Liling, noticing his gaze, repeated her apology, but seeing that Liu Wei was still staring at her, she lifted her hands to her face.

"Don"t touch it, you"ll ruin your hands."

Liu Wei quickly held her hand. He instinctively took out his white hankie and held her face softly whilst wiping her ruined mascara and makeup off her face.

"You have ruined your makeup, did you really have to cry that much? "

Liling who had been staring at his face which was very close to her, felt her face burning at his touch. She had wanted to reply to his question but her words stuck to her her throat. No matter how much she tried to speak, no words were forthcoming.

Liu Wei noticed her gaze but didn"t want to ruin the moment, so he didn"t look at her eyes.

Keenly wiping her face gently, he asked again.

"Why didn"t you use the water proof makeup? "

At this point, Liling blinked her eyes. She remembered that Liu Wei had furnished her room with different brands of make up when she first came to the house, and she was sure those were water proof.

So, which excuse was she going to give that wouldn"t seem as though she had rejected those gifts?

"I... didn"t look at the makeup kit I carried... I was in a hurry. "

"Hmm..."

Liu Wei replied with a single word. When he was through, he released her face and retracted his hands, putting the hankie back into his pockets.

The couple at the stage had left for their seats. Liling couldn"t even spot them because of the many people who had gone to congratulate them on their engagement.

...

As the joy overflowed, no one noticed the man who sat with another. His gaze hadn"t left Liling for one second. A faint smile spread across his lips as he watched the girl strain her eyes to catch a glimpse of the new couple.

"Young Master, do you want her?"

The man by his side asked keenly. He had noticed that his master hadn"t stopped looking at the woman beside CEO Liu Wei, and that woman, frankly speaking, was quite too pretty.

"Isn"t it obvious? "

"But..., it seems, CEO Liu Wei had taken a liking to her. Don"t you think... "

"Does it matter?"
