He still remained quiet, his fingers playing with his wristwatch. Chunlan's voice finally brought him out of his deep unknown thoughts. "Since you don't have anything to say, I will going now. Please forgive me for being unable to accept this proposal."
Panic coursed through his veins as he unknowingly blurted the words she wanted to hear. "Chunlan, I like you."
She paused, her back hiding her smile. "Really?"
He nodded slowly, enchanted by her soft voice. "I have always like you since we were children. I have always wanted you to be happy and I want to be the one to make you happy. I know you don't love me but its okay, I have enough love to last for both of us. I just want a chance, Chunlan. Just a chance."
Chunlan's hand trembled but she said nothing. She started walking till she felt her outstretched hands touch the door and opened it. Honglin's heart sank.
She cleared her throat. "So when do you want the engagement party to be set?"
