Mr Gu's First Doting Marriage-Chapter 724 - 725: Staging a Marriage Proposal Drama
Chapter 724: Chapter 725: Staging a Marriage Proposal Drama
When Li Zhiqian was mentioned, half of Gu Qichen’s face darkened.
Gu Qichen remained silent, and Xi Zijun continued, “But don’t blame me for not warning you, don’t overdo it. The count and countess are keeping their eyes on us. They most despise deception. If they find out that we are not married, it will cause some trouble.”

Gu Qichen frowned and said, “Don’t worry, I will bear in mind. I won’t put you in a difficult position.”
Xi Zijun also didn’t say anything else.
On the other side, Xia Yangyang also spotted Li Zhiqian.
Li Zhiqian was standing with Count Alexander and his wife.
At his side also stood the count’s young daughter, Anna.
All their attention was on Xia Yangyang.
A hint of doubt was in the count’s eyes.
Anna’s face, however, was filled with fury.
Xia Yangyang felt as if a boulder had pressed down on her heart.
She’s done for. Had she and Gu Qichen been seen dancing and kissing in the dark?
Li Zhiqian once said the count and the countess are perfect romantics in love.
So, she had to pretend to be Li Zhiqian’s fiancée.
Now, his supposed fiancée was spotted dancing and kissing another man in front of everyone.
What would people think?
Xia Yangyang felt like she was in deep trouble.
If she had messed up Li Zhiqian’s business plan, it would certainly be her fault.
Xia Yangyang’s steps towards them slowed unconsciously.
A sense of guilt and panic emerged in her mind.
Nonetheless, she braced herself and continued towards them.
But at that moment,
The lights in the banquet hall went out again.
This caught everyone off guard.
A lot of people were in chaos, not knowing what was happening.
But then there was a pop.
A beam of light cascaded from the ceiling, shining directly on Xia Yangyang.
Xia Yangyang was taken aback and halted.
What was going on?
It was dark all around her, but everywhere around her was as radiant as a waterfall of light.
Xia Yangyang unconsciously took a few steps forward.
Shockingly, she realised that the spotlight followed wherever she moved.
Xia Yangyang had a hunch in her heart.
Her heart started pounding in nervousness.
Everyone was in the dark, and only she was in this brilliant beam of light, which made Xia Yangyang feel very uncomfortable.
Just then, the tune “Because I Love You” played on cello in the banquet hall.
At this moment, the whole hall seemed to quieten down in unison.
All that was left were soft whispers.
Even if Xia Yangyang was slow, she guessed what was going on.
As expected, another beam of light appeared from the ceiling.
And it shone directly over Li Zhiqian’s head.
Xia Yangyang almost forgot.
Li Zhiqian had mentioned this to her before.
This banquet might involve a proposal.
Of course, this was a way for Li Zhiqian to make a good impression on Count Alexander and his wife.
But once she saw Gu Qichen, she completely forgot about this.
Or maybe, the count and countess had indeed seen her dancing in the dark with Gu Qichen.
With no choice, Li Zhiqian had to salvage the situation with this proposal.
The crowd seemed to have guessed that this would be a romantic proposal.
The whole hall suddenly became lively.
Whistles, cheering, excited screams, and envious sighs from women filled the air.
All eyes were on the spectacle.
But Xia Yangyang just stood there in a daze.
The most ironic thing was, although she was surrounded by darkness,
she could clearly see Gu Qichen.
