Chapter 371 Candlelight dinner

“Now that you’ve forgiven me, of course I’m here to propose.” Leo has been kneeling on one knee from
the beginning until now, and his sincerity is in the eyes of all people. How can Claire not know?

And Leo is never a gentleman. He proposes to Claire like this, and many women at the scene envy her.

“Claire, will you marry me?”

Leo opens the box. Inside the box is a diamond ring as bright as a star. Claire has to admit that it’s
really beautiful. She wants to accept it.

Leo sees Claire’s eyes and is also happy. He thinks his proposal is successful.

And then the crowd start yelling and making Claire accept Leo.

But Claire pouts and says, “I accept your apology, but I don’t accept the proposal!”

The atmosphere at the scene cools for a moment. Everyone thinks it is incredible. The atmosphere is
good and everyone thinks Claire will agree this time.

Conan, in particular, is shocked. In fact, today he knows Leo will show up. Leo couldn’t face Claire
before, and Conan guessed it and found Leo himself. Father and son talked for a long time.

Leo really didn’t want to see Claire again. He didn’t want to abandon her. He thought he had been
wicked and cruel and didn’t deserve Claire.

Conan spent a lot of time and energy. He cried and threatened and preached. At last, he persuaded
Leo, and the two of them planned the unexpected proposal together.

Conan thinks he knows Claire. He knows Claire likes Leo. According to the script, Claire should have
accepted it. Claire’s behavior surprises Conan.



“Mommy is so stubborn. Women are fickle...” Conan shakes his head helplessly.

Luke agrees with Conan because of Kate. He also doesn’t know what Claire wants to do. She wanted
to see Leo before, but now she refuses his proposal.

She’s so fickle!

Leo doesn’t respond specifically to this response. He just waits quietly for Claire’s explanation.

Claire smiles and says, “do you think I’m easy to get? It depends on your performance. It’s too sudden.
What do you think I am...”

When they hear this, they relax again. It turns out that this is a joke between the couple.

Leo doesn’t insist. Because it means Claire agrees to his proposal and it’s just a lack of ceremony.

He stands up and smiles and nods and says, “thank you for your help, but tonight is my date with
Claire. Please don’t stay here.”

Although he is polite, he is still domineering. All have to leave.

Conan’s plan is a complete success this time. Before he leaves, he says to Leo, “Daddy, I’m lonely by
myself. You need to hurry up.”

Leo says unhappily, “dating takes a long time. Come home.”

Conan raises his index finger and says, “no, I don’t mean that. Daddy and Mommy, hurry up and give
me a little sister...”

Claire listens to Leo and Conan’s conversation and knows that Conan must have been involved in it,
and when Leo didn’t want to see her, Conan was definitely aware of it.



She complains that Conan kept it from her and made her sad for half a month. Now he says that. Claire
is angry and wants to teach Conan a lesson.

Leo smiles and takes Claire to his arms. They look at each other affectionately, and then Leo changes
his face and glares at Conan and Luke angrily and says, “aren’t you leaving yet?”

Conan and Luke run out of the restaurant.

At this time, only the couple are left in the huge restaurant. The light is still soft and the music is still
ringing slowly. Leo picks Claire up.

Claire turns shyly and mumbles, “do you want to be here...”

Leo pinches Claire’s waist and smiles, “what do you want, my little wild cat? We’ll have western food in
the western restaurant. What would you like to eat?”

Claire knows she is wrong, so she is more shy.

Leo puts Claire in her seat and sits opposite her.

Everything is planned. After the two sit down, the lights in the restaurant go out and the music is
quieter.

Then Leo lights the candles himself. His movements are gentle and slow. Claire feels like she is
watching an old movie of the last century.

The waiter brings the wine and dishes and leaves quietly.

Everything is hazy except for the bright candles. In particular, the light of the candles illuminates Leo’s
handsome face and makes it dreamy.



“We didn’t seem to have enjoyed a candlelight dinner so quietly before. Don’t you like the
atmosphere?”

Claire is in a trance so Leo asks her with concern.

Claire shakes her head and says with a smile, “actually, I think a lot about what happened in the past.”
She stops and looks straight into Leo’s eyes deeper than the ocean. After a long time she says, “so the
contrast between the present and the past makes me feel incredible.”

“I mean fate!” Claire explains with a smile.

Leo shrugs and shakes his head. “If I knew you were the little wild cat, we wouldn’t have suffered so
much.”

Leo pours the wine himself and they raise their glasses. In the smile and love, the red wine cup sounds
crisp.

Claire’s heart pounds from the beginning until now. She’d love to drink some red wine to calm down.

But Leo suddenly stops her. “Claire, wait a minute.”

Claire wonders and blinks and asks, “what’s the matter? Are you afraid I’m drunk?”

Claire’s eyes are like two curved moons and look more beautiful in the candlelight.

Leo smiles and says, “I know how much you can drink, and you’d better get drunk tonight.”

“Then why do you stop me?” Claire knows that Leo is referring to what happened in the nightclub. Leo
made her drunk and she still remembers it. She complains in her heart.
