"It was me who folded them," Patrick raised an eyebrow at the surprised woman. "Every single paper crane was folded by my own hands. Do you like them?"
Jane did like them, but...
She furrowed her brows and looked at Patrick with a speechless expression. "Patrick, are you that free?"
Patrick rubbed her forehead and put on a slightly aggrieved expression on his handsome face. "Didn't you say you wanted romance?"
Romance... well, she only said it casually, did this man take it seriously?
A hint of helplessness rose in Jane's beautiful eyes. "It's so cliché."
"Cliché?" Patrick's deep gaze contained a smile as he said, "If you don't like paper cranes, there are others."
"Others?" Jane was taken aback; what kind of trick did this man have up his sleeve now?
Patrick stood up and walked to Jane with long strides while holding her hand. "Come with me."
He led Jane to the window and pointed outside. "Look over there."
"Hmm?" Following where Patrick pointed to outside the window revealed nothing but pitch-black darkness.
"What is there to see..." Before Jane could finish speaking, hundreds of candles suddenly lit up on the beach below forming two stars connected by Cupid's arrow.
The candles flickered in the wind displaying various colors making for an enchanting sight.
Suddenly one candle went out before lighting back up again revealing several large letters that read: 'Jane, will you marry me?'
Seeing that Jane was stunned looking out towards the beach below; Patrick held onto her slender waist and curved his thin lips upward asking: "Is this romantic enough?"
Jane came back to reality and covered her forehead while saying: "This is even more cliché…"
"Oh don't worry," Patrick reached out pointing towards the sky above as fireworks began exploding illuminating everything around them including their faces which were bathed in light from all directions as if they were being drowned by an ocean of stars themselves.
As if performing magic tricks himself; from his pocket emerged a red heart-shaped velvet ring box which he opened while kneeling down on one knee gazing deeply into Jane's eyes before saying affectionately: "Jane I want to give this ring to you."
His profound gaze seemed just like those vast oceans capable of drowning people within its depths itself.
"Alright already," pulling him upwards using all her strength; she tugged at corners of mouth smilingly telling him: "You can get up first then we'll talk."
For someone as proud as Patrick who had gone through so much trouble coming up with these romantic gestures must have really meant something genuine after all!
Being so doted on by him, it was impossible for Jane to not feel touched and happy.
She had a sweet sensation that spread throughout her body like a dense web.
But marriage was out of the question. She hadn't thought about getting married so early.
After thinking for a moment, she said seriously, "Patrick, your proposal barely passes. But I haven't thought about getting married so early."
"Why?" Patrick furrowed his handsome brows slightly. "Is it not romantic enough?"
Jane pursed her lips. "It has nothing to do with romance. After all, we've only known each other for just over a month and we don't know each other well enough yet. Besides, who gets married without dating first?"
Jane's idea was that if two people were in love and had established their relationship properly, they should date properly before considering marriage as the next step.
Now that she had just agreed to be in an official relationship with him, she didn't want to jump straight into marriage right away.
