All the servants in the villa stood on both sides.
They shouted in unison.
"Happy birthday, Young Master Lin."
Su Hua was also looking at him earnestly. She smiled radiantly, "Happy birthday, my Xuan."
A servant wheeled out a large cake.
Butler Wang smiled and said, "Young Master Lin, the Miss spent a long time learning how to make this cake and baked it herself just for you. And these flowers, these candles—she spent the whole day arranging them all by herself."
"Thank you, Hua." Lin Xuan's gaze was locked on the breathtakingly beautiful face of the woman before him.
How incredibly fortunate he was in this life to be loved by Hua.
Su Hua smiled, "Xuan, make a wish and blow out the candles."
"Okay."
Lin Xuan nodded.
His eyes fell on the cake.
It was perfectly made, without a single flaw.
Hua must have put a lot of effort into it.
Lin Xuan stood before the cake and clasped his hands together.
He closed his eyes and silently prayed in his heart.
"May Hua be safe and sound her whole life, free from illness and disaster."
"May he and Hua be together lifetime after lifetime."
Lin Xuan opened his eyes and blew out the candles on the cake.
Suddenly.
The large screen behind him lit up.
The servants and Butler Wang quietly withdrew from the villa.
Lin Xuan looked at the large screen.
It displayed photo after photo of Lin Xuan that Su Hua had secretly taken from the shadows.
There were also photos taken openly of them standing together after they had become a couple.
"Xuan."
"Do you know?" Su Hua looked at Lin Xuan seriously, "You appeared in my life like a ray of light."
"I was like a stalker and a peeping tom, constantly watching you from the dark, prying into your life. I secretly took countless photos of you and plastered them all over my bedroom and lounge."
"When you were with Qin Ruoyao, I was driven mad with jealousy. I captured you, took you to the Night Garden, and imprisoned you."
"If you had stayed with Qin Ruoyao forever, I don't even know what kind of crazy things I would have done."
In her heart, she had always harbored the impulse to turn Xuan into a specimen, to even kill him.
That way, Xuan would be able to stay by her side forever and keep her company.
But she also knew very well that she couldn't bear to hurt Xuan.
She would only imprison him.
The two of them would torture and hurt each other.
She might even have let Xuan and Qin Ruoyao be together, just like in her dreams.
"Fortunately, Xuan, you were willing to give me a chance, a chance for us to be together."
"Thank you, my Xuan, for walking into my life."
If it weren't for her Xuan, she would probably still be a devil who only knew how to work and slaughter.
Lin Xuan spoke with a hoarse voice, "Hua, I'm the one who should be thanking you. When I was despised and abandoned by the Lin family, you were the one who gave me my only warmth."
"Xuan." A smile appeared on Su Hua's face, "So we are a match made in heaven, aren't we?"
She took out a ring.
She got down on one knee in front of Lin Xuan.
"Xuan, I want to propose to you. Will you marry me?" Su Hua looked affectionately at Lin Xuan.
Lin Xuan snapped out of his moved state in an instant.
!!!
Did Wang Dahe really hit the nail on the head?
Did Hua beat him to the punch and propose to him first?
It was one thing to lose to Hua in bed.
But shouldn't a proposal be done by a grown man like him?
Could he reject Hua's proposal?
Su Hua noticed the hesitation on Lin Xuan's face, pursed her lips, and asked, "Are you unwilling to marry me, Xuan?"
"No, no, no. I do." Lin Xuan snapped back to reality and nodded hastily.
Even though he really wanted to refuse.
But.
If he refused, Hua would definitely think he didn't want to marry her.
Moreover, Hua would think that his being with her was just an act.
And then Hua would lock him up.
By then, he wouldn't be able to explain himself even if he tried.
Forget it.
If a woman wants to propose, let her propose.
Anyway, it was just the two of them here. Outsiders wouldn't know that Hua was the one who proposed to him.
"Hua, I am willing to marry you," Lin Xuan said earnestly.
"Mhm." Su Hua curled her red lips.
She slipped the ring onto Lin Xuan's finger.
Lin Xuan also took the other ring and placed it on Su Hua's hand.
Su Hua then brought out a thick stack of documents.
"Hua, what is this..." Lin Xuan asked in confusion.
Su Hua replied, "These are all my dowry."
"All my shares in the Su Group and all my assets belong to Xuan from now on."
"I will still manage the Su Group in the future, but I'll be working for Xuan."
Su Hua only wanted to give the best to her Xuan.
Lin Xuan was stunned.
Hua actually gave him everything.
"Hua," Lin Xuan couldn't help but ask, "you didn't keep any assets for yourself. Now that all these are mine, aren't you afraid that I might suddenly change my mind and not be with you?"
"I believe in Xuan," Su Hua said with a smile.
Her eyes flickered.
Of course, she had made preparations in advance.
Xuan could only be hers.
He would never have the chance to leave her, nor would he ever have the chance to be with another woman...
Lin Xuan was taken aback.
Did Hua really trust him this much now?
"Xuan, you won't leave me, right?" Su Hua asked.
"I won't." Lin Xuan raised two fingers and promised, "I, Lin Xuan, swear that I will love you for the rest of my life."
"I will never separate from Hua, nor will I have any ambiguous relationships with other women."
"Mhm."
Su Hua's eyes curved slightly in happiness.
"Hua, I will arrange the wedding," Lin Xuan said.
He could let the proposal slide, but the wedding preparations had to be done by a man!
"Alright, I'll leave it to you." Su Hua nodded.
"Once I deal with the Lin family, we'll get married," Lin Xuan said.
"Mhm," Su Hua said with a curled lip.
"Xuan, I want to eat some cake," Su Hua said.
"I'll cut a piece for you."
Lin Xuan cut a slice of cake for Su Hua.
"As today's birthday boy, Xuan should be the first to eat the cake."
"I'll feed Xuan," Su Hua said.
Lin Xuan thought Su Hua would feed him with a fork.
But as it turned out.
Su Hua bit off a small piece of cake, then immediately kissed his lips, passing the cake from her mouth into his.
This kiss ignited instantly upon contact.
Su Hua pressed Lin Xuan down into the middle of the heart-shaped sea of flowers, kissing him.
The candles were still burning.
"Xuan." Su Hua propped her hands on either side of Lin Xuan's body, her beautiful eyes flashing with a sickly, obsessive possessiveness. "You are finally mine now, and you always will be."
"You can't escape now."
Lin Xuan: "..."
Why did he feel like Hua's yandere tendencies were acting up again...
