Chapter 172: A Proposal, A Birthday Gift And A Betrothal Gift

Apart from Lin Jiayu, there was also Lin Guofeng, Du Shunian and Du Shunian's father inside the lounge.

Lin Guofeng was in the middle of a conversation with Father Du.

Meanwhile, Du Shunian's eyes were stuck to Lin Jiayu like glue.

Lin Jiayu was extremely cold, but her appearance was honestly beautiful. Just a simple white dress looked extraordinarily sexy and charming on her. She was stunning; someone that Du Shunian assumed would be amazing in bed.

Father Du pulled out a contract and pushed it towards Lin Guofeng.

Lin Guofeng took a look at the contract and his eyes immediately grew big. He then looked at the man with confusion, "What's the meaning of this, President Du?"

With a laugh, President Du replied, "It's your birthday today, so this is my gift. At the same time, you could consider it as a betrothal gift as well."

Lin Guofeng was slightly surprised, "Betrothal gift?"

"Uncle Lin, I like Jiayu. May I have her hand in marriage?" Du Shunian said with sincerity as he smiled warmly at Lin Jiayu.

The cold Lin Jiayu furrowed her brows.

"President Lin, I've always liked Jiayu and thought it would be great to have a daughter like her. Never did I expect that my Shunian's liked your daughter for a long time. He even made a vow to me that he would never marry anyone but Jiayu. So, I swallowed my pride and came to speak to you today. President Lin, if you agree to the marriage, I can guarantee that I will treat Jiayu like my own daughter and I will never let her suffer," Father Du promised.

Lin Guofeng had always loved his daughter.

So, knowing that this conversation involved marriage, he naturally had to consult his daughter for her opinion first; he couldn't just give an answer without asking her.

But, he needed to think of a temporary response.

However, before he said a word, Lin Jiayu straightforwardly rejected the man, "Uncle Du, thank you for your admiration, but I'm sorry, I will not marry Du Shunian."

As soon as she finished speaking, Lin Jiayu turned towards the door.

Outside eavesdropping, Qiao Pan'er saw Lin Jiayu approach the door and immediately ran to the lounge next door to hide.

However, she continued to peek through the gap of the door.

Du Shunian chased after Lin Jiayu and stopped her in the corridor, "Jiayu, I honestly like you. Can't you give me a chance?"

"But I don't like you and I never will. Above all, I will never marry you," Lin Jiayu replied coldly.

Lin Jiayu clearly and directly rejected the man and left, leaving Du Shunian behind.

Du Shunian was so angry, he kicked the door beside him with rage.

Coincidentally, this kick caused the hiding Qiao Pan'er to lose her footing and fall onto the floor.

When he heard the slight yelp, Du Shunian was caught by surprise. He recognized the woman sitting on the floor and immediately went to help her up, "Miss Qiao."

With the man's help, Qiao Pan'er went to sit on a nearby sofa, "Young Master Du, why did you throw such a tantrum? Who angered you?"

"I'm sorry, are you hurt?" Du Shunian looked at the woman's curvaceous body and snow-white legs and his gaze suddenly turned frivolous.

Qiao Pan'er's gaze sunk.

Normally, she would ignore a useless playboy like Du Shunian, but today, she had a different thought.

With a smile, she said, "Young Master Du, I heard your father was planning to help you propose to Lin Jiayu today. What are you still doing here?"

"Don't talk about it," Du Shunian replied with frustration.

In surprise, Qiao Pan'er asked, "Did something happen? I saw Lin Jiayu was with a man at Century Royal the other day. Could it be...?"

As she spoke, she paused and smiled apologetically.
