Chapter 232: Beside Me is My Lover, Before Me Are Familiar Friends
Luo Yanran, will you marry me? Of course, she would.
At this moment, there was no adjective that could aptly describe her emotions.
If she had to put it into words, it was like the feeling of a fizzy tablet dropped into orange soda, bubbling and brimming over with joy – her joyful heart overflowing.
Luo Yanran felt that she wasn't looking her best now, her eyes were certainly red from crying.
Xie Xiao knelt on one knee, looking up at her, waiting quietly, even though he was somewhat anxious on the inside.
From the beginning, Xie Xiao knew Luo Yanran wouldn't refuse him, but seeing her silent now, he was a bit anxious. Why wasn't she speaking? Was she not satisfied with his proposal?
So she didn't want to agree?
He should have tested which type of proposal she preferred.
Just as Xie Xiao was getting lost in his thoughts, Luo Yanran reached out her hand, "Put the ring on me."
Xie Xiao froze in place, staring blankly at her.
Luo Yanran repeated herself, "I'm willing, put the ring on me…"
Xie Xiao suddenly snapped back to reality, she had agreed!
Lin Yu and Liu Ou, who were watching the surveillance from inside the house, let out a sigh of relief.
Heaven knows why they were also nervous, knowing full well that Luo Yanran wouldn't refuse Xie Xiao!
Meanwhile, outside the door, Qi Yan, watching through his cellphone, couldn't help but feel sour, another day shedding tears for someone else's love story, so sweet! But he was so jealous!
In the courtyard, Xie Xiao's hands trembled slightly as he opened the ring box, revealing the diamond ring inside. The diamond on the ring was pink, filled with girlish charm.
The setting of the ring was shaped like leaves and vines, with little leaves adorned with tiny diamonds gently supporting the heart-shaped pink diamond in the center.
How should I put it? It was obviously pricey, emanating an aura of money.
But it was truly beautiful.
It was the type that Luo Yanran would like.
Xie Xiao reached out to grab Luo Yanran's hand, his fingers trembling slightly as he slid the ring onto her right hand's ring finger, it fit perfectly.
He had secretly measured it.
After putting the ring on, he leaned down and kissed her ring finger.
Luo Yanran's eyes twinkled like stars, and even though she had cried, she was still beautiful.
Her voice, a little bit nasal, she forcefully pulled him up, "Now you may kiss your fiancée."
Xie Xiao couldn't help but laugh softly.
But instead of standing up, he kissed her lips while still looking up from his position.
As if a devout believer kissing his deity.
It was the faith he had been pursuing for two lifetimes…

Liu Ou, who had just come out of the house, stopped Lin Yu from going over and started taking several photos of this beautiful scene with his camera.
He stuffed the flower he hadn't had time to pick directly into Lin Yu's hands.
Lin Yu, fumbling with two bouquets of flowers and looking at Liu Ou's bright eyes, was a bit worried.
Xie Xiao's smooth execution was too exemplary, making it hard for him—what would he do when it was his turn to propose?
It made Doctor Lin worried.
But he didn't have time to think more, for although Liu Ou stopped him, he couldn't stop Qi Yan, who following the original plan, burst in with flowers in high spirits.
Xie Xiao, hearing the noise, finally let go of Luo Yanran and stood up, using the piano stool for support, as kneeling on one knee had made him a bit numb.
Luo Yanran, looking a bit worried, reached out to help him, "Are you okay?"
Her eyes were red, and her face was flushed.
Her gaze kept uncontrollably returning to the ring on her finger, her eyes shining.
Xie Xiao shook his head, "I'm fine."
Qi Yan walked over with a smile, holding a bouquet in his hands, "Congratulations, congratulations, I've definitely secured the role of best man…"
Luo Yanran had just started to smile and reach out to accept his words, "Thank you…"
Behind her came Lin Yu's disgruntled voice, "I should be the groomsman, at most you're just a brother…"
Luo Yanran's eyes brightened even more. Lin Yu was here?
And Liu Ou…
As expected, when she turned around, she saw Liu Ou, her face filled with smiles, carrying a bouquet of flowers as she walked over.
Liu Ou held a different meaning for Luo Yanran.
She had accompanied Luo Yanran through the bitterest period of unrequited love, soothing her initial feelings of insecurity and unease.
Just moments ago, Luo Yanran had actually wished Liu Ou could be there to see how happy she was.
And now, Liu Ou was standing not far behind her, holding a bouquet of flowers, and smiling as she said, "Luoluo, congratulations."
Luo Yanran opened her arms to her.
Even though both girls stood up together, Luo Yanran was still half a head taller than Liu Ou.
But it was always apparent that Luo Yanran seemed like the little sister in front of Liu Ou.
At that moment, Liu Ou didn't hesitate to walk over and embrace her, setting the flowers on the nearby piano.
Xie Xiao, looking at the two girls hugging, felt a moment of inappropriate jealousy.
But watching Luo Yanran hold Liu Ou and say, "Hai Ou, he proposed to me, and I've waited for my little prince."
Her voice, filled with joy like a child who got their favorite toy, couldn't wait to share her happiness with her good friend.
Xie Xiao's eyes lit up with amusement as he caught Lin Yu's gaze from afar.
In his eyes, he saw the same helplessness as his own.
Lin Yu said with a smile, "Bro, congratulations."
Qi Yan, looking entirely bitter, said with a lemony tone, "To fit in with you guys, may I boldly ask if your wife has any good friends to introduce?"
"Then you can give up hope, it doesn't seem like there are many of that kind…"
"Ah…"
In the end, Luo Yanran couldn't contain her emotions.
How should I put it, Lawyer Luo is usually quite emotionally stable.
But the surprises tonight were one after another, and she truly couldn't control her emotions.
So, her feelings were all over the place at that moment.
In the end, Xie Xiao had to gently soothe her for a long time, kissing her face while doing so.
How should I say it, even if Lin Yu and the others weren't single, they all felt tortured.
This was the ultimate way to show off a relationship.
But since he had just successfully proposed, they couldn't say anything.
In the end, they simply had to endure.
The group eventually got into Qi Yan's car to go for a late-night snack,
Luo Yanran and Liu Ou were whispering something together.
Xie Xiao, feeling somewhat helpless, could only ask Lin Yu, "Your flight tomorrow morning?"
"Right, I have a full schedule in the afternoon, I need to go back. Next time I come home we'll meet up. Aren't you coming back for the National Day?" Lin Yu said, even inviting Qi Yan, "Boss Qi, why don't you join us for a bit of fun?"
That "Boss Qi" was said in a teasing tone.
Obviously joking.
Boss Qi responded coolly, "Our CEO is very busy, we'll have to check the schedule."
Xie Xiao, somewhat amused, said, "Cut it out, what are we busy with during National Day? We run a live streaming company, and we don't need to travel abroad for that."
"Can your CEO please keep a little dignity, thank you!" Qi Yan, clearly dissatisfied, sighed in the end, "I've decided to go on a blind date. Maybe by National Day, I won't have to suffer anymore!"
"Good luck!"
Xie Xiao gripped the hand in his tightly, with his lover by his side and familiar friends in front, this was the happiest scene Xie Xiao could see now.
