Chapter 256: Yan’er, Close Your Eyes! (Second Update)
Today was the weekend, and the small path leading into the mountains was bustling with tourists.
When Xue An and An Yan appeared on the mountain trail with their two daughters, they immediately attracted a lot of attention.
“What adorable little girls!” many people exclaimed, marveling at Xue Xiang and Xue Nian.
Of course, Xue An and An Yan also drew quite a bit of notice.
After all, he was strikingly handsome, and she was stunningly beautiful.
The high attractiveness of this family was a scenic view in its own right.
“Hey, look, that guy over there is so handsome!” Niu Yifei nudged Shen Nan with her elbow.
Shen Nan turned her head and happened to see Xue An passing by, which made her pause in surprise.
“How about that? Handsome, right?” Niu Yifei said proudly.
Shen Nan’s face turned red, and she hummed softly in agreement.
Their conversation, however, made Zhu Hao, who was standing nearby, look upset.
He was a student at a nearby university.
This time, he had gone to great lengths to invite Shen Nan to tour Xiangshan Mountain, all in the hopes of finding a way to win over this school beauty.
But unexpectedly, not only had Shen Nan come, but her dorm mate Niu Yifei had come along as well.
Zhu Hao was already quite irritated, and Niu Yifei’s comment only added fuel to his ire.
“Hmph, what does it matter if he’s handsome? Look at his clothes; he doesn’t seem rich. Plus, he’s here hiking with kids, how boring!” Zhu Hao snarked.
Niu Yifei chuckled, “Oh, so that means you’re the rich one, huh?”
Zhu Hao smirked arrogantly, “I wouldn’t say I’m exceptionally rich, but I’m decent enough, with a net worth of a hundred million or two!”
As he said this, Zhu Hao kept stealing glances at Shen Nan.
But to his chagrin, Shen Nan seemed as if she hadn’t heard him at all, looking utterly distracted.
Zhu Hao gritted his teeth secretly, feeling extremely annoyed.
He came from a city along the eastern coast, and his family was indeed very well-off. So, during his years in school, he managed to woo quite a few girls by flaunting his wealth.
But Shen Nan remained impervious to his attempts.
He had inquired about her from many people and had been told that Shen Nan had a bit of the literary young woman about her, yearning for romance!
After learning this, Zhu Hao had been inspired to meticulously plan this trip to Xiangshan Mountain.
Thinking of this, a smug smile curled on Zhu Hao’s lips.
Soon enough, the crowd reached the summit of Xiangshan Mountain.
Shen Nan and Niu Yifei sat on the chairs in the pavilion, their faces showing exhaustion.
Especially Niu Yifei, who was grumbling, “This is so lame, dragging us up a mountain climb, I’m dead tired!”
Shen Nan didn’t speak, only looked around as if searching for something.
“Hey, over there!” Niu Yifei nudged Shen Nan.
Shen Nan was a bit embarrassed, “I wasn’t looking for him!”
“Hehe, even though he has a wife and kids, a handsome guy is still a handsome guy, it’s not a crime for us to look!” Niu Yifei giggled.
At that moment, Zhu Hao excitedly said to Shen Nan, “NanNan, close your eyes!”
“Why?” Shen Nan frowned slightly.
“Just close your eyes, and you’ll see!”
Shen Nan closed her eyes reluctantly.
Zhu Hao signaled to a few people in the crowd with a wink.
Then, about a dozen men stepped forward, pulling out large bunches of roses from their backpacks and arranging them on the ground into a huge heart shape.
By this time, Shen Nan was already growing impatient, “Is it ready yet? Zhu Hao, what are you up to?”
Niu Yifei just watched with a giggly smile and didn’t say a word.
These men had brought quite the assortment of items, not just roses, but also various decorative sparklers.
The pavilion was quickly decorated to be stunningly beautiful.
Then Zhu Hao took out a small box, knelt on one knee, and said excitedly, “NanNan, open your eyes!”
Shen Nan slowly opened her eyes, and upon seeing this scene, she couldn’t help but be taken aback.
Zhu Hao opened the box, revealing a large diamond ring inside.
“NanNan, I’ve liked you for a long time and hope you can agree to go out with me. I will definitely treat you well!”
The dozen or so men, well-trained, stood to the side and shouted in unison, “Marry him, marry him!”
This scene also attracted the attention of all the tourists on the mountaintop.
At this time, Shen Nan’s face gradually turned ugly, “Zhu Hao, I told you before coming here that we can only be ordinary friends! I don’t have feelings for you!”
A flash of anger crossed Zhu Hao’s face, and then he said in a low voice, “NanNan, don’t believe the rumors in the school. I did have girlfriends before, but that’s all in the past. Now, I only like you!”
Shen Nan sneered, “I’ve seen this diamond ring on the hands of no fewer than three girls. What? Do you take the ring back after breaking up to reuse it?”
Upon this remark, a chorus of jeers spread through the onlooking crowd.
Niu Yifei couldn’t help herself either, saying, “Zhu Hao, isn’t NanNan’s meaning clear enough? Get up! So many people are watching!”
Zhu Hao finally couldn’t hold back, his smile disappeared, and he said coldly, “NanNan, if you don’t agree today, I won’t get up! As for them watching!”
Zhu Hao’s face was icy as he looked around, “I dare anyone to say another word!”
No sooner had the words been spoken than a childish voice came through.
“Daddy, what is this uncle doing? Why isn’t he standing up?”
The speaker was Xue Xiang.
And this voice also drew everyone’s attention.
Xue An faintly smiled, “Him? He’s making a fool of himself!”
“Daddy, what does ‘making a fool of oneself’ mean?” Xue Nian also asked.
Xue An said indifferently, “It means when someone clearly doesn’t want to, but he tries to force them to agree by kneeling down. If that’s not making a fool of oneself, what is it?”
Xue An’s words resonated with the sentiments of the many onlooking tourists.
Only Zhu Hao turned gloomy immediately, his eyes taking on a sinister look.
“Who are you to stick your nose into this matter?” Zhu Hao said coldly.
Xue An smiled slightly, “It wasn’t my place, but now it is! Because I am sorry, but I need to borrow this place!”
“I’m telling you, you better stop causing trouble here, or I will make you regret it!” Zhu Hao threatened fiercely.
Having said that, Zhu Hao turned back to look at Shen Nan.
“Shen Nan, let me tell you, there hasn’t been a woman that Zhu Hao has set his sights on and not gotten. If you don’t agree today, don’t even think about leaving!”
This statement caused an uproar.
Shen Nan’s face turned pale, and looking at Zhu Hao’s ferocious expression, she couldn’t help but feel a bit scared.
At this moment, Xue An said indifferently, “I am very curious how you’re planning to make me ‘regret it.’
Shen Nan then exchanged a glance with Niu Yifei and rose to stand beside Xue An.
“Help me!” Shen Nan pleaded.
Xue An nodded, “Stand behind me.”
Shen Nan obediently moved to stand behind Xue An.
Zhu Hao looked extremely displeased and scoffed, “What do you count for? You actually dare spoil my plans, let me tell you…”
Xue An held up his hand, “My patience is limited, so I advise you not to test me further!”
Zhu Hao’s face was full of disdain, and he wanted to say more.
Xue An sharply commanded, “Scram!”
Zhu Hao, as if struck by a heavy hammer, stumbled out of the pavilion.
His face finally showed a trace of shock.
Only then did Xue An turn to An Yan and smile, “Yan’er, you close your eyes, too!”
