That was high praise indeed!
She had practically put Yue Xiaofei on a pedestal!
Yet after hearing it, Yue Xiaofei merely smiled.
He could tell that Yan Qingsi was no ordinary woman.
First, she had demonstrated her sincerity by introducing her background and revealing what she knew about him.
Then she had acted familiar, putting others down while elevating him to close the distance between them.
The whole combination had flowed seamlessly, without a single opening.
Any other young man would probably have been dizzy from her flattery by now, regarding her as a kindred spirit.
Unfortunately for her, she had met Yue Xiaofei.
"So, Miss Yan, what exactly did you corner me here for today? Surely you didn't just come to tell me how impressive I am?"
Yue Xiaofei picked up the lemon water from the table, took a sip, and asked in an indifferent tone.
"Of course not."
The smile on Yan Qingsi's face remained unchanged.
But her gaze suddenly became intensely serious, even carrying a gravity she had never shown before.
"I came today to discuss something of tremendous importance to me, to you, Mister Yue, and even to the entire Yan Family."
"Oh? What is it?"
Yue Xiaofei grew a little interested.
A breathtaking smile suddenly appeared on Yan Qingsi's face.
It held a touch of bashfulness, a touch of resolve, and the confidence of someone determined to succeed.
Looking at Yue Xiaofei, she said something that left even him stunned on the spot.
"I came today because I want to... propose to you."
P-propose?!
Yue Xiaofei's mind buzzed, momentarily short-circuiting.
He wondered whether he was hearing things.
What was this woman saying?
Propose... to me?
What kind of ridiculous joke was this?!
We only met for the first time today!
*And you're the one proposing
