Chapter 2371 - 2364: Proposal
"Is that so?" Ying Mei naturally knew the changes in herself.
"Sister Mei is the most beautiful woman in the world." Li Chen suddenly clapped his hands, and the motorboats on the sea started moving in sync, eventually forming a heart shape.
While Ying Mei was astonished, Li Chen held a diamond ring of at least 5 carats and knelt on one knee in front of President Ying.
"Sister Mei, marry me."
Looking at the sincere man in front of her, Ying Mei was nearly captivated.
Li Chen, a top domestic star, over 1.8 meters tall, with sleek muscles full of aesthetic appeal, his looks speak for themselves, and more importantly, he was attentive to her, silently following her, taking care of her, smoothing over difficulties, even giving up his star status adored by thousands of girls...
It could be said that Ying Mei could maintain her vast enterprise, thanks in no small part to Li Chen.
Faced with such a perfect man, Ying Mei couldn’t even find a reason to refuse.
In the past, President Ying could decisively reject Li Chen’s pursuit because of her illness. But now that she was well, how could she refuse him?
However, Ying Mei did not have those feelings for Li Chen; she considered him more like family.
Li Chen’s silent dedication over the years would have moved even someone with a heart of stone. Could she be even more hard-hearted than stone, Ying Mei thought to herself.
"Sister Mei?" Li Chen, seeing President Ying’s mind wandering, gently called out to her.
Ying Mei snapped back to reality, looking at the happiness right in front of her within arm’s reach, momentarily entranced...
Perhaps, she should just marry him. With him around, her empire could certainly be preserved, and this man would surely love her for a lifetime.
What was she hesitating about in front of such a perfect man...
After a long internal struggle, reason ultimately triumphed over emotion. Ying Mei slowly extended her fair, perfect hand.
Li Chen’s face showed a trace of joyous happiness—after years of waiting, he finally had something in return.
A man as smart as Li Chen surely knew that President Ying didn’t harbor those feelings for him.
But what did feelings matter?
After time has passed and the initial impulse fades, all that’s left is the most earnest sincerity.
Life is short; there’s no need to worry about past lives or future ones. As long as they are together in this life, that would be enough...
Li Chen, trembling, took the diamond ring out of the box, ready to place it on Ying Mei’s perfect hand.
At that moment, Ying Mei’s heart was beating wildly, wishing something unexpected would happen suddenly.
In this life, obtaining such happiness, what more could she ask for?
"The love I want will spoil me, like a child, only knowing how to act spoiled in your embrace..."
Suddenly, Ying Mei’s phone rang.
"I’ll take this call." President Ying grabbed the phone with the hand she had in mid-air, inadvertently revealing a smile, and felt a long sigh of relief in her heart.
"Okay, Sister Mei..." Li Chen sighed inwardly, wondering why the call couldn’t have come just a few seconds later.
He only needed ten seconds to gain Ying Mei’s commitment.
But the world is so unpredictable that even short moments can change a lot of things...
However, Li Chen wasn’t too worried. Although he might have failed this time, he had already opened the door to Ying Mei’s tightly shut heart, and sooner or later, he would enter.
He had time and patience.
There was no other man in this world worthy of Ying Mei besides him.
"What? I’ll be right back!" Ying Mei hung up the phone and said apologetically to Li Chen, "Chen, something major has happened with Moonlight Stone Real Estate, and I have to rush back immediately."
Li Chen nodded, silently putting away the ring.
Watching President Ying soon appear in her business suit in front of him, Li Chen felt a bit of bitterness.
It seemed he indeed failed once more this time...
The entire Moonlight Stone Real Estate was only worth about a hundred billion. Even if she lost it all, it wouldn’t have much impact on Ying Mei. Besides, even if President Ying was in a hurry, she ought to have time to put on a ring, right?
It was clear that Ying Mei was avoiding it.
Several hours later, Ying Mei appeared at Dongyan Construction Company.
Seeing the room still the same as when she left, Ying Mei was a little dazed.
"Don’t overthink it; it’s just that I haven’t been back for a long time, so the office hasn’t been reorganized," Wang Dadong said upon seeing Ying Mei’s strange look.
Ying Mei casually touched the dressing table, finding no dust, proof that it was cleaned daily.
Ying Mei smiled faintly, "This is my private room. Whoever dares to use it, I’ll have a problem with them!"
Wang Dadong was stunned, "You mean, you want to continue cooperating with my Dongyan Construction Company?"
"Why not? Nowadays, what construction project doesn’t cut corners?" Ying Mei replied.
Indeed, in today’s construction industry, one company is darker than the next, and cutting corners is common. Such buildings can still stand; as long as there’s no earthquake, no one will know.
So, in Ying Mei’s eyes, cutting corners wasn’t a big deal. She was in a hurry to return to Jiangdu just to refuse Li Chen.
"But the trouble is that this issue has already been caught by the TV station, but it’s not a big problem. The TV isn’t exposing it right away; they just want money. Anything that can be solved with money isn’t an issue," Ying Mei casually sat on the edge of the bed, speaking lazily.
Along the way, she’d seen many things like this.
As long as there was money, even if the TV station had exposed it, she could still turn the situation around.
Wang Dadong’s face twitched; being able to solve problems with money wasn’t something everyone in the world could afford.
"Do you need me to handle this for you?" Ying Mei stretched lazily, smiling as she asked.
"No need. I can handle this little thing myself," Wang Dadong finally smiled.
He wasn’t afraid of exposure; he was only afraid of losing Ying Mei as a major client.
Currently, the fate of the entire Dongyan Construction Company was tied to Ying Mei. As long as she didn’t terminate the contract with Dongyan, even if it fell, it could rise again.
Even if Dongyan fell, it wouldn’t affect Shiyan Group much.
But this company was named after Wang Dadong and Lin Shiyan; it was the business Lin Shiyan entrusted to him. He didn’t want to let Lin Shiyan down.
"Mind if I stay here tonight?" Ying Mei yawned softly.
She was indeed a little tired, having been sunbathing in Shanya just a few hours ago.
Wang Dadong laughed, "Of course you can. Isn’t this your private room?"
After being away for so long, the room still looked the same, and cleaned daily, which indeed made Ying Mei a bit touched by Wang Dadong.
