Although Pu Haiping's expression wasn't clear, Ni Xuanyi had already understood his meaning. To avoid unnecessary misunderstandings and awkwardness later on, Ni Xuanyi hurriedly interrupted Pu Haiping: "I'm preparing for my marriage, so I've resigned from the company."

The excitement and joy on Pu Haiping's face froze in place as he looked at Ni Xuanyi. His expression gradually turned sorrowful.

Ni Xuanyi was genuinely afraid that he would start crying, so she pointed to the nearby plate of food: "Why don't you eat some The food here is really delicious!"

Hearing what Ni Xuanyi said, Pu Haiping felt like dying. How could this woman be like this Back when they were in the company, he had secretly been nice to her all along. She didn’t know whether she was genuinely foolish or pretending not to notice, but now she even invited him to eat! Did she still have a heart! Could he possibly eat anything under these circumstances

Just as Pu Haiping felt like crying but couldn't shed any tears, applause suddenly erupted in the hall. The host had arrived on stage, and Ni Xuanyi finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The host gave an enthusiastic speech before several vice chairmen escorted Li Yi onto the stage from the main entrance of the ballroom. Instantly, everyone was delighted with cheers and applause.

Everyone still thought that Li Yi was a bachelor worth millions, especially the female colleagues in the company who rarely saw their idol, President Li, in such a setting. They all rushed forward hoping to catch his eye; perhaps he would take one look at them and they'd be transformed into phoenixes!

Li Yi often encountered such situations and was used to it. Dressed in an exquisitely tailored shirt with matching trousers, he stood on the stage with a composed demeanor that made him seem like a graceful tree in the wind, shining alongside the sun and moon. His sharp gaze seemed casual but first landed on Ni Xuanyi's direction, focusing for a few seconds before turning elsewhere.

Even from this distance, Ni Xuanyi felt Li Yi’s disapproval through his gaze. She looked somewhat guilty at Pu Haiping beside her and quietly moved away.

Liyi stood on stage and began to speak, his words short yet powerful. Ni Xuanyi looked at the elegant Liyi on stage and felt sweet and proud; a sense of pride flowed through her body.

Liyi gave a brief speech on stage and finally, looking in the direction of Ni Xuanyi, he suddenly smiled. He rarely smiled like this, but when he did, it was as beautiful as a night-blooming cereus flower, stunning everyone present below.

"The guests tonight are my most important friends, partners, and colleagues from both my life and work. I want all of you to witness an important moment with me..."

The audience fell silent as they stared at Liyi; he smiled happily once more, and the entire venue held its breath.

Ni Xuanyi didn't know what Liyi was planning but had a hunch it might be something related to her. Her heart raced with anticipation.

Liyi’s melodious voice resumed: "Tonight, I am here to propose marriage to a lady..."

Everyone gasped; they couldn’t believe that their god-like rich and handsome CEO actually had someone special in his life and was going to make such an open proposal

"...If she agrees to marry me, I will devote my entire life to protecting her, cherishing her, making her the happiest woman in this world..."

Ni Xuanyi's face flushed with embarrassment and her heart raced as a wave of dizziness swept over her. After coming out from the civil affairs office earlier that afternoon, she had still been upset about Liyi not proposing to her there, without flowers or a diamond ring. She hadn't expected him to propose in such an extravagant setting; she was truly at a loss for words!

The audience's hearts were on edge as well.

"Now, please welcome the woman I love most —"

The spotlight quickly moved around inside the venue as everyone wanted to see who the person was that could make their proud and aloof Grand President Li look favorably upon them; where exactly was this woman

Ni Xuanyi bit her lip, her heart pounding fiercely...

無數顆心臟也同時劇烈跳動。

The spotlight finally fell on Ni Xuanyi. With a slightly paused heartfelt voice, Li Yi continued, "The woman I love most is Miss Ni Xuanyi!"

The entire venue was silent as all eyes turned to look at Ni Xuanyi under the spotlight.

Ni Xuanyi felt completely dazed. She stood there nervously despite being reminded by Li Yi's assistant to go up on stage; she couldn't move her feet and only heard her heart beating like a drum.

It seemed as if Li Yi had anticipated Ni Xuanyi would be stunned, he smiled broadly and descended the stage, stepping through the crowd one step at a time towards Ni Xuanyi. At this point, the host finally reacted, hurriedly instructing someone to play romantic music while the audience started making excited noises.

"Xuanyuan!" Li Yi held Ni Xuanyi's hand and then sincerely knelt on one knee before her. The people around them immediately gasped in unison.

Ni Xuanyi, seeing her noble Big Brother Li Yi kneeling before her, was even more flustered; she felt it would be a disservice to him.

At this moment, Li Yi took out the box containing the ring from his pocket and opened it. Under the bright lights, the diamond sparkled brilliantly, once again causing a round of exclamations around them.

"Xuanxuan, will you marry me How about it!" Li Yi held up the ring and smiled at Ni Xuanyi.

"Okay." Ni Xuanyi almost immediately nodded her head. She just wanted this ordeal to end as quickly as possible.

Li Yi took hold of Ni Xuanyi's hand, which was within arm’s reach, and slipped the ring onto her finger—so slender, long, and fair like jade.

Ni Xuanyi was stunned by Li Yi's passionate and bold actions. She remained dazed as he held her in his arms and kissed her cheeks openly before a large crowd until he led her out of the bustling ballroom.

"Xuanxuan, Xuanxuan, we’re outside!" Li Yi brought Ni Xuanyi to a lounge room behind the scenes and gently tapped her face.

Ni Xuanyi slowly came back to herself. Seeing that no one was around anymore, she heaved a sigh of relief and plopped down onto the sofa.

Li Yi looked at her with amusement and asked, "What’s wrong Are you excited or happy"

Ni Xuanyi frowned in annoyance. She raised her small fists and started hitting Li Yi, "Why did you do that! You left me no time to prepare mentally! It was so embarrassing… You’re truly despicable…"

Li Yi chuckled, not dodging or flinching as she hit him. "Don’t women all like grandiose proposals And they love showing off their happiness in front of other women. I just wanted to give you the highest platform possible so that everyone can see how high up you are on my shoulders and no one will dare look down on you ever again!" and their children; without it, a woman's fate could be unstable at any moment. Being an unmarried mother is not as easy as people think."Who is the father of the child" Xu Liping’s eyes were filled...
