Substitute Marriage: Reborn As The Top Big-Shot

Chapter 873: 261: The mutual probing of two big shots_1
 

The man knelt down on one knee.

His back ramrod straight.

Behind him was a vast expanse of snowy light and a ground full of red roses.

Just at this moment.

The sky began to snow heavily.

The scene was almost unspeakably romantic.

Viola Thompson looked at the man in front of her, surprised. At this moment, the only sound in her ear was the beating of her heart, nothing else.

Everything else became nothingness.

In fact, even the frostiest of girls have a romantic streak engraved in their bones.

They are naturally drawn to flaming red roses.

Viola Thompson had never experienced love.

In her past life, she was always busy with various experiments, every day aside from eating and sleeping was spent doing experiments.

Since she has been given a second chance at life, she naturally didn’t want to waste the beauty of love, friendship, and familial affections.

She didn’t speak for a long time.

Typically calm and self-possessed, the man felt restless and uneasy at this moment.

He was afraid that Viola would reject him.

Even though there had been an engagement between them, it still wasn’t right or proper.

He had looked up strategies online.

Girls all like roses and shiny things.

That’s why…

In addition to the roses spread all over the ground, he custom-ordered a rose made of ruby.

The rose in his hand looked no different from any ordinary rose.

But its stem, leaves, and petals were all made of gemstones, gold bars, and diamonds.

Of such kind, there was only one in the world.

He looked up at the girl with his lips slightly part, “Miss Thompson, may I ask, can I be your vassal?”

Upon hearing this, Viola lifted her eyes, “Let me think about it.”

Hearing her words, Terrence Lentz breathed a sigh of relief.

That’s good…

He didn’t receive a direct rejection.

Her agreement to consider meant there was still a chance.

No one knew…

That the palm of his hand holding the flower was covered in a layer of sweat.

Making one forget whether it was winter or summer.

“Alright.”

After a moment, Viola continued, “Can you recite the Three Obediences and Four Virtues?”@@novelbin@@

“Of course.” Terrence Lentz recited it right away, “Follow the girlfriend when she goes out, obey the girlfriend’s commands…”

This little problem was no difficulty for him.

After all, he did finish all the homework.

Viola was a bit stunned.

She had originally just wanted to joke with Terrence, but she didn’t expect him to take it seriously.

“Boss, have you made your decision?”

Viola Thompson smiled lightly, the corners of her mouth shining with shallow dimples, “Mm, I give you a chance then.”

With that, she accepted the flowers and pulled him up.

The man’s hands were fair and slender with clear veins, and because he had been kneeling in the snow for so long, they were a bit cold. They held Viola’s hand tightly, as if afraid she would disappear the next second.

Viola could feel his palm covered in a layer of cold sweat.

He was very nervous.

“Thank you, boss.”

Viola glanced at him, “But you have to perform well. If you don’t, I will find a new boyfriend.”

“Yes, I guarantee I won’t let you down.”

Viola Thompson laughed lightly.

It was then when she came to her senses and looked at the man’s side face, “Why is this flower so heavy?”

At least twenty pounds.

Heavy and solid.

He must have had a hard time holding this flower, kneeling in the snow for such a long time.

“I custom made it for you.” Terrence Lentz replied.

Viola Thompson lowered her head to look at the flowers in her arms.

Only then did she realize they weren’t real flowers, but ones made from gemstones.

Terrence Lentz’s lips slightly parted, continuing, “Google said that girls naturally like shiny and sparkling things. Oh right, I have also prepared other things for you.”

“What?” Viola asked.

Terrence Lentz tightly held her hand, “Come with me.”

The snowflakes continued to fall.

Falling gently and quietly.

Settling on both of their hair.

Terrence Lentz lowered his gaze slightly to see the snowflakes landing on her hair.

Suddenly, a line of poetry came to mind.

If we can endure hardship together, then aging together will be worthwhile.

If only time could stop right at this moment…

Swiftly…

He led Viola Thompson to the castle and onto the third floor.

The stairs were adorned with roses.

The air was filled with a faint scent of roses.

It smelled good…

And was very romantic.

Terrence Lentz held Viola’s hand tightly, taking one step at a time.

Soon, they arrived on the third floor.

The entire third floor was a perfect replica of the world from the fairy tale, Snow White.

Once you walked through the layers of gemstone bead curtains, you could see the fascinating array of princess dresses, dazzling crystal shoes, and noble crowns hanging on the hangers…

It was dreamy yet also very real.

Real enough to touch.

Underfoot, aside from the plush carpet, there were red rose petals.

The dressing table displayed various lipsticks, skincare products, and jewelry…
