Chapter 438: Chapter 438 - Won’t Let Mommy Run Away Again

"Kai Zi, propose!" Shao Shan suddenly exclaimed.

Ke Kai was taken aback at first, but upon hearing the chatter amongst the girls earlier, he hesitated a few seconds, then promptly knelt down on one knee, holding a plate loaded with eggplant and squid with both hands, and devoutly presented it to An Lan.

"An Lan, marry me!"

One has to admit, Ke Kai is undoubtedly the first to pop the question using roasted eggplant and squid.

An Lan was taken aback initially, then presumably due to the right moment or maybe the profound impact from the two families and their three children that evening, she hesitated slightly, and astonishingly, reached out to accept the plate.

Then, she nodded her head and agreed, "Alright, I accept your proposal!"

Ke Kai stared at An Lan in disbelief, she had really accepted his proposal?

Truth be told, Ke Kai proposed over ten times in the last few years. He tried everything from conventional rings and fresh flowers to surprise proposals in romantic settings such as the rooftop of the tallest building or deep ecology in the sea, but An Lan always held back from agreeing.

She claimed they were still young and wanted to solidly build their careers and thoroughly enjoy life.

This time, however, unexpectedly, even though it could be said to be the result of the crowd’s encouragement and not even having a ring or flowers, just a warm plate of eggplant and squid creating an appetizing aroma, she agreed? It worked?

Come to think of it, perhaps An Lan preferred a more down-to-earth proposal?

No matter why An Lan agreed, the fact was that she had accepted his proposal right in front of everyone!

Probably from the overwhelming joy, even though Ke Kai’s mind was racing, he kneeled frozen in front of An Lan like a stone carving.

"Get up, you dummy!" An Lan murmured, unable todecide whether to laugh or cry.

Only then Ke Kai came to his senses and was about to stand up, when a young figure came storming towards him.

"Uncle Ke, take this! What kind of proposal has no flowers?"

The one who seriously brought this remark was Baby Boy, and what he handed to Ke Kai was a bright red Mountain Tea Flower.

This Mountain Tea Flower was clearly plucked from a Camellia tree not far away and was luxuriant. Once the flower was given out, it was by no means inferior to a red rose.

While still kneeling on one knee, Ke Kai accepted the Mountain Tea Flower from the Baby Boy with both hands, and offered it to An Lan.

"An Lan, marry me!"

This time, Ke Kai expressed his sentiments even more passionately than before. After all, he had mentally prepared himself, and both his expression and feelings were perfectly in place.

Presumably, the shock brought by the combination of flowers and food is really unique.

While An Lan accepted the plate earlier with a brisk agreement, now, she received the tea flowers silently, her hands slightly trembling, her eyes brimming with tears as she slowly nodded her head.

This time, Ke Kai cleverly stood up in an instant, picked up An Lan and joyfully twirled her around.

Zhu Qianying, who was nearby, clapped her hands. Qin Xiu, who was still by the barbecue, put his hand to his mouth and blew out a sharp and long whistle.

Baby Boy stood beside them looking up at them for a while, with a complex expression on his face.

After a moment, he went over to Little Flame, pulling at his arm.

Little Flame looked down at him. Baby Boy nodded towards Ke Kai and rolled his eyes. Then he gestured a pinky promise to Little Flame. On his face, the word "contempt" was clearly visible.

His meaning was, he was deriding his father for being utterly disappointing!

Little Flame felt helpless inside. Of course, he too wanted to take the plunge!

However, the problem was his impulsive action may not necessarily lead to a sweet outcome like Ke Kai’s, but might instead cause Zhu Qianying to flee once more.

He couldn’t afford to take this gamble, nor could he risk losing.

Since he was a child, people said he was a born gambler. He was fearless and dared to put everything on the line.

For a long time, he believed this was true and even took pride in it.

However, ever since Zhu Qianying left, he realized he was not willing to gamble or risk everything after all.

Therein, Zhu Qianying was the stake he dared not gamble, and couldn’t afford to lose.

The same goes for Baby Boy.

Of course, Baby Boy and Zhu Qianying were essentially a buy-one-get-one-free deal, and it doesn’t matter who is primary or secondary.

Anyway, if he dared to gamble and won, both would belong to him.

If he lost, both would depart from him.

Therefore, how could he be as spontaneous and candid as Ke Kai, daring to propose using a broken plate filled with rotten eggplants and dead squid?

Ke Kai got An Lan’s approval, but in the same position if he did the same thing to Zhu Qianying, he might probably end up with rotten eggplants and dead squid thrown back in his face!

Ah!

Everyone has a different fate!

A deep sigh escaped Little Flame, he bent down and picked up the little guy.

"Baby, behave, stop messing around!"

Little Flame patted the little guy’s back to comfort him.

The little guy’s desire for a united family was something he, as a father, understood too well.

However, precisely because he understood, he did not dare to rashly attempt, fearing disappointment for the little guy and not wanting to break his heart either.

The little guy was feeling terribly oppressed, unable to decide whether he was heartbroken or disappointed, it was just that he felt so upset he wanted to cry!

Actually, the moment he saw someone kneel down he thought it was his own dad.

Unfortunately, the person who knelt was Uncle Ke instead of his hopeless dad. Nevertheless, he happily ran to pick a Mountain Tea Flower despite the disappointment.

Currently, seeing Uncle Ke successful with the beauty, the angry and heartbroken Baby Boy leaned on Little Flame’s shoulder, unable to vent his frustration, then opened his mouth and bit hard on Little Flame’s neck.

Originally, Baby Boy wanted to bite the shoulder, but his old man was wearing a jacket, and he couldn’t bite through it. As a result, he turned his head and bit into his neck.

Little Flame felt the pain in his neck and instantly realized his precious son was punishing him. He only held his son tighter without resisting or blaming him.

Baby Boy continued to bite down till he tasted a metallic flavor in his mouth and then let go. He then buried his face into Little Flame’s neck and remained silent in his sadness.

Little Flame lowered his head and carelessly kissed Baby Boy on the forehead.

"Baby, believe in daddy, this time, daddy won’t let mommy run away again!"

This was Little Flame’s promise to his son, but as for when he would fulfill his promise, he truly had no idea.

Baby Boy suddenly raised his head, squinting at him suspiciously.

"Really?"

Little Flame nodded earnestly, "Really!"

Only then did the two wrinkled brows on the small face slightly relaxed.

"Humph, you fool, coward! Your lordship will believe you one more time..."

The irritated demeanor of the little guy made Little Flame want to both laugh and take a bite out of his chubby face.
