Smiling, Quan Jingwu held her close with strong arms about her waist, deepening their kiss.
"Bang Bang Bang––"
The fireworks burst across the night sky, their magnificent glow painting the gloom.
Red petals, mixed with snowflakes, showered down upon the two figures in the snow. Engrossed in their passionate kiss, they were oblivious that their romantic proposal had set all of China aflutter.
Hiding in the shadows, Shen Hao and his companions looked on, their faces grimacing at the sight of the couple not far from them.
Ah, they wondered when would they, the single ones, ever be able to enjoy such love.
Over at the quiet Quan mansion, a woman's excited and joyous gasp pierced through the silence of the night.
"So handsome, so romantic."
Quan Yifei's eyes twinkled with excitement as she watched the couple embracing on the television screen. She put her hands over her face, the proposal deeply moving her.
