Chapter 2326
Meanwhile, most of the people had gradually returned home after having spent a considerable amount
of time by the river. Only a few groups were left, and they were still enjoying the serene view of the
flowing waters.
Spencer and Lulu walked hand in hand along the embankment, where the wind would blow from time
to time, making Lulu’s hair flow ever so gracefully in the wind.
“Are you cold?” Spencer lowered his gaze, looking at her with concern.
“Not at all. The evening breeze feels quite nice.” Lulu smiled and shook her head gently.
Fixing her hair, Spencer muttered, “I’m sorry for making you upset earlier. I’ll be more careful in the
future. I’ll try to reduce the amount of time I spend with Icyln outside of work.”
“It’s okay, I understand that you’re in a difficult position. I’ve never med you for anything before.” Lulu
said, understanding that Spencer was stuck between a rock and a hard ce.
Besides, he had not done anything inappropriate, having only acted out of duty for a promise.
“Thank you for being so understanding,” Spencer replied, touched by Lulu’s understanding.
“Although I understand, deep down, seeing you with her still makes me ufortable, especially when
she’s clinging on to you…” Lulu bit her lip, as she would feel uneasy whenever she saw Icyln hanging
around Spencer.
“I get it. Rest assured; I won’t spend time alone with her anymore. Even at work, we’ll only discuss
work-rted matters. Nothing else,” Spencer earnestly assured her.
“Before you get too worked up, I’m not ming you for anything. It’s just that I’ve been thinking a lot
these past few days, and I’ve finally arrived at a few realizations.” Lulu stopped in her tracks and looked
up at Spencer with a serious look on her face.
“What’s wrong?” he asked, his solemness matching hers.
He felt that Lulu seemed a bit off. ‘Why has she be so serious all of a sudden?’
Seeing how anxious he had be, Lulu chuckled. “Calm down and listen to me first.”
“Okay, go ahead.” Spencer quieted down, though
Taking a deep breath, Lulu pensively looked at Spencer before she produced a small box from her
pocket.
“This is…” Spencer’s eyes widened and his face nched, recognizing the box for what it was.
He obviously knew what this box was and what was in there. It was the one he had bought when he
proposed to Lulu. However, she had not epted his proposal at that time.
Still, as he had already decided not to marry anyone other than Lulu, he had left the ring with her.
‘Why is she taking the ring out now? What does it mean? She took a few days to calm down and said
that she doesn’t me me. Is it because she has truly given up on me?’ he panicked.
“Spencer, when you proposed to me earlier, I said I would only agree to your proposal after I have
be a better person, someone worthy of you. Someone…deserving of being your partner in crime.
You also said you would respect my decision. Now I have something to ask you, and I want you to
answer honestly.” Lulu ced the small box down on her hand and looked at Spencer with a gentle
gaze.
“What are you trying to say?” Spencer asked, his voice marred with caution, and his face brimming with
a mix of concern and curiosity.
And as she stared at him with utmost seriousness, Lulu opened the small box and softly asked,
“Spencer, will you marry me?”
“What?” Spencer’s mind nked out, finding Lulu’s words utterly surreal.
Lulu could not help but chuckle when she saw the rare look of perplexity on Spencer’s face, and
yfully, she said, “If you don’t want to, let’s just forget it.”
Then, she pretended to stash the box, as well as the ring away.
“I want to, of course I want to.” Spencer snapped out of it, grabbing the ring from the box and sliding it
onto Lulu’s ring finger.

He was genuinely shocked when he saw the ring moments ago, for he had never expected Lulu to
propose to him. It was a strange twist of events. But now, all he could feel was immense joy and
satisfaction.
