Chapter 1536 Lamest Proposal Ever
Chapter 1536 Lamest Proposal Ever
Jin Chonglin immediately protected the ring, pressing it on his chest and covering it with his other hand. If he wasn't using both his feet to walk, he might have also used them to cover the ring.
When he reached his girlfriend, he said, "You said yes! You said you'll marry me! I heard it! Everyone heard it, too! You can't take it back! Quick, give me your hand!"
Chen Fei fought the urge to roll her eyes.
This childish man.
She still wanted to scold him but stopped herself. Looking at the excited and expectant eyes of her man, her heart softened. She gave him her hand.
He carefully slipped the ring on her finger. It fit perfectly.
Chen Fei immediately felt a weight on her finger. The diamond was so big that it was almost the size of a quail egg. It had a tear-drop shape and looked gorgeous. However, its ostentatious size was too impractical.
She laughed, shaking her head. However, her heart felt like it was going to burst with happiness.
"Do you like it?" Jin Chonglin asked.
He looked confident as always, but Chen Fei now knew him better to notice the slight barely noticeable nervous tremors on his lips.
Her heart softened. "Yes, I like it."
He grinned and looked smug. "I knew it. I have the best taste."
Chen Fei fought the urge to smack him with her huge bouquet.
No, the bouquet of roses was so beautiful. It didn't deserve to be destroyed because of this fool of a man.
In the end, she could only sigh before throwing her arms around her man's neck, bouquet and all.
"I think I love you, too, you little sh*t."
Jin Chonglin felt like he was on top of the world. His woman loved him! See?
His own vainness automatically filtered out Chen Fei's curse words. He deluded himself into thinking that her curse words were her love words to him.
He grabbed his girlfriend—no, his fiancée's face and kissed her hard in front of everybody else.
The entertained guests cheered for them.
Caught in his own joy and excitement, Jin Chonglin lifted his fiancée and twirled her around. Chen Fei also abandoned her prickliness and allowed him to do what he wanted, laughing and smiling until her mouth ached.
Then Jin Chonglin said, "Let's get married tomorrow!"
This time, Chen Fei didn't hold back. She smacked him in the head with her heavy bouquet.

Later that night at their Parisian residence, Iris snickered as she listened to her brother-in-law being scolded by his manager on the phone.
"What the hell?!" Lin Dong roared. "Chonglin, are you insane?! How dare you use your sister-in-law's launch party to propose?! And in front of so many guests, too?! The media is going crazy! The domestic media can't wait to devour you and Chen Fei when you return to the country! Even the French media and many international media outlets are reporting about your proposal!"
Jin Chonglin felt indignant that his manager was yelling at him. "I'm in love with my woman! What about it?! I want to marry her! You dare to stop me?!"
Lin Dong sighed several times.
Iris could feel the manager's helplessness through the other end of the phone line.
Lin Dong asked, "Why didn't you at least tell me that you're going to propose? I'm your manager! Can't you give me at least a warning, so that I know how to deal in advance with the sh*tstorm that you left me?"
"Because I only decided the day before that I want to propose," Jin Chonglin said as if it were the most natural thing in the world.
"I knew it," Lin Dong said with a heavy sigh. "I should've gone with you there!"
"Nah, I'm fine. You're busy with LXC Studio."
Jin Liwei who was also listening gave Iris an "I told you so" look. Indeed, proposing was a completely impulsive decision on Jin Chonglin's part.
Iris looked around. Chen Fei should be in her room busy checking some last-minute reports from her assistant in Orchidia back home. It was a good thing that she didn't hear what her fiancé said, or she would definitely smack him with something even more dangerous than a bouquet.
Lin Dong didn't continue to ask for an explanation from Jin Chonglin anymore. There was no use in trying to reason with the man, anyway.
However, he still couldn't help but criticize Jin Chonglin. "You act so proud in making Chen Fei say yes, but that's the lamest proposal that I've ever seen in my whole life. I think that Chen Fei only felt sorry for you, that's why she said yes."
"Pft!" Iris couldn't take it anymore. She laughed until she couldn't breathe.
Jin Liwei held her, stroking her belly to make her feel better. He didn't laugh, but the corners of his lips twitched a few times.
His brother, Jin Chonglin, looked at them with a sullen expression.
At this moment, Dom appeared and asked, "What's happening?"
Iris told him between her laughter. Dom also started cackling like an evil witch.
Jin Chonglin stood up and pointed at them. "Hmph! You're all just jealous because I'm going to get married soon!"
"Ahem!" Jin Liwei raised an eyebrow at him and placed his hand with his wedding ring together with his wife's hand that had her wedding and engagement rings.
It was as if his expression was telling his brother, 'You're seriously bragging about that in front of me who's married and has my own children?'
Jin Chonglin also realized the stupidity of his outburst, so he could only glare at the cackling Dom.
Unfortunately, his glare was useless. Dom tossed his non-existent long hair and continued cackling like the queen of all villains.
Jin Chonglin only pouted. His manager's scolding didn't affect him as much as Iris and Dom laughing at his expense.
On a brighter note, he was glad that Dom wasn't present at the launch party earlier. If he were, perhaps Jin Chonglin might have had a worse experience. At least, the other guests didn't try to deliberately embarrass him when he fumbled with his proposal.
Dom, however, was a different beast altogether.
