Chapter 553 Proposing is something a man should do.
"Oh my god!" Zhang Xiaodai exclaimed, blinking in disbelief and muttering, "I...I won the lottery?"

Hearing the noise, someone else playing scratch-off lottery tickets nearby asked with curiosity and envy, "How much did you win?"

Zhang Xiaodai's eyes darted around, and he looked annoyed. "No, I misread it. I didn't win."

"Ugh, I spent over two hundred yuan and didn't even win ten yuan. I'm so angry."

"I'm not going to scratch anymore, it's no fun," Zhang Xiaodai said, quietly putting the scratch-off lottery ticket into her bag.

She turned and went into the restroom, found a stall to hide in, and carefully examined the scratch-off lottery ticket.

She wasn't mistaken; she really did win 100,000 yuan!
"Ahhhhh!" Zhang Xiaodai screamed in a low voice.

This is so happy!

One hundred thousand yuan! That's half a year's salary!
In this way, she can take leave without hesitation to go on a trip!
Zhang Xiaodai stayed in the bathroom for a long time until her phone rang, which brought her back to her senses.

The screen displayed the words "General Manager Qin".

Zhang Xiaodai calmly answered the phone, "Hello?"

"Xiao Dai, I've arrived here. What about you?" The man's gentle voice rang out.

"I'll be there soon too," Zhang Xiaodai said. "Bye."

Inside the restaurant's private room, Mr. Qin stared at his phone screen, his brow slowly furrowing.

Xiao Dai seems to have become a bit strange these past two days, acting cold and indifferent, which is not like her at all.

Mr. Qin put away his phone and turned his head to look at the scenery outside the glass window.

The square was bustling with people. A young girl carrying a guitar smiled brightly and confidently, couples held hands tightly and were sweet and loving, and an elderly man with gray hair held his grandson's hand with a loving expression.

Mr. Qin seemed momentarily dazed.

Soon, there was a knock on the door.

The door was pushed open from the outside. He turned his head and saw Zhang Xiaodai walking gracefully in, wearing a sweet pink dress and high heels.

Mr. Qin's eyes lit up, and he stood up to greet her, smiling as he said, "Little Dai, you look beautiful today."

"I know." Zhang Xiaodai nodded, avoided the other person's outstretched hand, and walked straight to the dining table to sit down.

Mr. Qin frowned slightly, turned around and sat down opposite her, and asked gently, "Did you drive here? Was there a traffic jam?"

"It's alright." Zhang Xiaodai picked up the menu and flipped through it. "Have you ordered yet?"

"Not yet, what would you like to eat?" Young Master Qin said with a smile. "Are you very hungry?"

He remembered that Zhang Xiaodai had always refused to let him order when he asked her to. Today, she was so eager to look at the menu, she must be starving.

"It's alright," Zhang Xiaodai said casually. "Have someone come in and order."

"Okay." Mr. Qin pressed the service button on the dining table.

A knock sounded at the door, and the waiter opened it, politely asking, "Hello, is there anything I can help you with?"

Before CEO Qin could speak, Zhang Xiaodai raised her hand and said, "Order."

"Okay." The waiter smiled and walked to her side.

Zhang Xiaodai selected a few dishes she wanted to eat, then closed the menu. "I've ordered. What about you?"

Young Master Qin: "..."

He became increasingly certain that Zhang Xiaodai had changed.

Her attitude was vastly different from before.

why?

Was it because he rejected her marriage proposal?

After ordering, Mr. Qin didn't rush to speak, but instead looked at Zhang Xiaodai with what he thought was a deep affection in his eyes.

At this moment, Zhang Xiaodai was only thinking about the scratch-off lottery tickets in her bag.

She's planning how to spend the 100,000 yuan. No, to be precise, it's 80,000 yuan, since she has to pay a 20% personal income tax on accidental gains.

Give 10,000 yuan to each of my parents, and keep the remaining 60,000 yuan. Set aside 20,000 yuan as a travel fund and 5,000 yuan to sponsor a friend to buy a new phone...

"Little Dumb?"

"Huh?" Zhang Xiaodai came back to her senses. The waiter was serving the dishes.

Mr. Qin frowned at her, and only after the waiter left did he speak with slight dissatisfaction: "What are you thinking about? You didn't hear me talking to you the whole time."

"I wasn't thinking about anything." Zhang Xiaodai looked at the food on the table, pursed her lips, picked up her fork and poked at a piece of caviar foie gras.

Her every move caused Mr. Qin's brow to furrow deeply.

Zhang Xiaodai opened her eyes to look at him, and asked in confusion, "Aren't you going to eat?"

"Eat." Mr. Qin nodded.

Zhang Xiaodai quickly finished eating, wiped her mouth, and said, "I'm done eating."

Upon hearing her words, Mr. Qin put down his knife and fork and stared at her intently.

"What's wrong?" Zhang Xiaodai blinked in confusion. "Is there something on my face?"

"No." Mr. Qin shook his head and said with a smile, "Xiao Dai, you look very beautiful today."

Zhang Xiaodai scoffed, "I'm beautiful every day, okay?"

A hint of surprise flashed in Xiao Qin's eyes.

She's always been humble, how did she suddenly become so arrogant?
"Yes, you look beautiful every day." Mr. Qin reached out and took her hand, his voice tinged with amusement. "Actually, even if you hadn't asked me out, I was planning to come see you today."

"Really?" Zhang Xiaodai stared at the hand being held, her eyes flashing with complex emotions. "You...want to see me for something?"

"Yes, something's up." Young Master Qin pulled a velvet box from his trouser pocket, a gentle look appearing on his face. "It's something very important."

Zhang Xiaodai's pupils contracted sharply, and her heartbeat suddenly slowed by half a beat.

Is this box... the one he used to propose to Anna?
Mr. Qin walked around the dining table to Zhang Xiaodai and slowly knelt on one knee.

He held the girl's soft hand, gazing at her beautiful face, his eyes filled with deep affection and doting. "Little silly girl, you should let a man propose."

Zhang Xiaodai pursed her lips, her exquisitely made-up face showing no joy whatsoever.

Her lips moved, but she asked without any emotion, "Didn't you say before that you didn't want to get married?"

"Silly girl." Young Master Qin chuckled and explained, "I told you, proposing is something a man should do. I rejected your proposal before because I felt it should be me who proposes to you."

Zhang Xiaodai felt only sarcasm and amusement when she heard his high-sounding words.

In his heart, she was just a backup option.

He failed to propose to Anna, so he turned around and proposed to her?
It's ridiculous.

“Xiao Dai.” Mr. Qin opened the velvet box, revealing the diamond ring. “I had this custom-made six months ago, and I’ve always hoped that one day I could wear it on your hand.”

"You ordered it six months ago?" Zhang Xiaodai smiled. "You really put your heart into it."

Young Master Qin said solemnly, "Xiao Dai, I've always valued things related to you more than anything else."

"Really?" Zhang Xiaodai scrutinized the man's face, unable to discern a trace of insincerity in his expression.

He's such a good actor.

He's disgusting.

Zhang Xiaodai glanced at the cup on the table; it was empty.

She thought for a moment, then picked up the kettle and filled it to the brim.

Seeing her actions, Mr. Qin assumed she was thirsty from nervousness.
