Zhou Shenye spoke quickly, and Xie Qingyu was indeed not kept waiting any longer.

Recently, it seems that Zhou Shenye has been making a lot of moves, and Xie Anshan has been calling Xie Qingyu repeatedly.

But Xie Qingyu had no feelings for Xie Anshan whatsoever, and she would hang up the phone as soon as she saw it.

Zhou Shenye couldn't stand it and directly blocked Xie Anshan's phone number for her.

"Don't worry about him. He's lived a good life all these years on what your mother left him. Now he wants to rely on you? He's dreaming."

Xie Anshan did indeed harbor the idea of ​​relying on Xie Qingyu.

In his memory, Xie Qingyu was still the girl who agreed to come back with him when she heard about his identity and purpose in the countryside. He didn't think that Xie Qingyu would disown him.

Especially after Xie Qingyu climbed up to Zhou Shenye, he was convinced that Xie Qingyu needed a family that could help her, and he would support the Xie family even more.

Unexpectedly, Xie Qingyu really just ignored it.

At this point, Xie Anshan had absolutely no way to find Xie Qingyu.

Zhou Shenye unilaterally cut off Xie Anshan's communication channels with Xie Qingyu, and Xie Qingyu naturally had no objections.

"Want to come visit me?" Zhou Shenye finally lost his patience when Xie Anshan called again from a different phone number.

When Zhou Shenye mentioned "that place," he was referring to the place where he lived abroad.

Zhou Shenye has spent far more time abroad than in China in recent years, and most of his work is also done overseas.

He agreed to Xie Qingyu's request to return to China to develop her career, and there has been some progress in the past period of time, but he still needs to go there more often.

Most importantly, he wanted to take Xie Qingyu with him.

Xie Qingyu was still asleep when the plane landed.

In order not to waste time, Zhou Shenye simply carried the person onto the plane.

When Xie Qingyu woke up, she was already in the car.

"Awake? Have some water." Zhou Shenye had a laptop on his lap, probably in a meeting. When he saw Xie Qingyu wake up, he turned off his microphone, opened the water bottle, and handed it to Xie Qingyu.

Xie Qingyu was still leaning on Zhou Shenye's shoulder, watching the meeting on Zhou Shenye's computer. Fortunately, the webcam was not turned on.

"How much longer?" Xie Qingyu asked, taking a sip of water to moisten her throat.

"I'll be home soon." Perhaps because he was back in his familiar surroundings, Zhou Shenye was in a good mood and at a good state of mind.

"Hmm." After receiving the answer, Xie Qingyu looked out the car window. The scenery in this foreign land was quite beautiful.

Seeing Xie Qingyu behaving obediently, Zhou Shenye turned on the microphone and communicated with the people on the other side in English. While speaking in a seemingly serious manner, Zhou Shenye held Xie Qingyu's hand tightly the whole time, as if he couldn't let go of it.

The car slowly drove into an old castle and stopped in front of the gate.

Xie Qingyu got out of the car and looked around the ancient castle.

Surrounded by a dense, impenetrable forest, this place was truly perfect for Zhou Shenye, like a ferocious beast slumbering in the forest.

This castle is simply the best setting in vampire novels.

"Do you like it?" Zhou Shenye asked.

"It's alright, I wonder what it's like inside." Xie Qingyu's answer was quite honest, without any trepidation, and her eyes showed appreciation and admiration.

"I hope you'll like it." Zhou Shenye's words carried a deeper meaning.

Xie Qingyu sensed something was wrong as soon as she entered the room.

The old-fashioned gate was closed when the owner returned home, with only a single pink rose stuck in it, glistening with dew, as if it had just been picked from the stem.

Xie Qingyu reached out and took the rose, then turned to look at Zhou Shenye.

Upon closer inspection, it became clear that Zhou Shenye had changed his clothes at some point. He had changed out of the comfortable clothes he wore on the plane and was now wearing a three-piece suit with a shirt, vest, and blazer that perfectly accentuated his broad shoulders and narrow waist.

"Open the door." Zhou Shenye looked at Xie Qingyu, his eyes filled with indulgence and encouragement.

Xie Qingyu took a deep breath and gently pushed open the castle door.

Xie Qingyu knew that Zhou Shenye must have prepared something, but she didn't expect him to have prepared this much.

Xie Qingyu stood at the doorway, looking at the decorations inside the castle.

From the entrance to the main entrance, the path is covered with pink petals, and the open spaces on both sides are filled with various roses.

Although there are various colors, they are blended very well and do not look out of place at all.

Despite the seemingly chaotic arrangement of so many flowers, one can still sense that every detail was meticulously designed, leaving one in awe at every turn.

That wasn't all; with every step Xie Qingyu took forward, a flower would precisely land in her arms.

When Xie Qingyu arrived inside the castle and saw the scene, she became even more certain that this was a scene Zhou Shenye had prepared for a long time.

The entire interior of the castle is exquisite, even the candlesticks are brightly lit, and there are flowers everywhere.

The design blends seamlessly with the overall style of the castle; the staircase is adorned with a floral arrangement spelling out "Marry me?"

Unbeknownst to Xie Qingyu, Zhou Shenye had already walked to her side. The moment Xie Qingyu turned around to look for him, Zhou Shenye knelt down on one knee in front of her.

Even while kneeling, Zhou Shenye maintained an upright posture, his eyes brimming with love.

The bright diamond ring on his hand swayed slightly in Zhou Shenye's hand.

It was Zhou Shenye's hand that was trembling.

“I almost did something I’ll regret for the rest of my life, and I’m still glad I did,” Zhou Shenye said. “I originally wanted to propose to you at ‘Tinghe’ in the folk art area. If you hadn’t gone into the wrong room, I’m afraid I would have really missed you. I consider that place the place that changed my destiny.”

“But I still realize that it was you, not a place, that changed my destiny, so I wanted to bring you here to see it.”

Zhou Shenye looked around the castle. No one in his social circle had ever come here, not even members of the Zhou family.

It is his private space, and also his absolute domain.

He's proposing to Xie Qingyu right here.

On his turf, he can marry the woman he desires.

"I'm afraid you'll think I married you because I can't live without you due to my illness. Whether you think that way or not, I can assure you that it's not because of that, but because of you as a person."

A long time ago, I thought that if I could find someone I didn't dislike being around, I would make this my profession. But after meeting you, I never had that thought. My only thought was to bring you home and keep you by my side.

“If you have even a little bit of pity for me because of my illness, I would be very grateful, because I want to use that pity to ask you for help.”

"So now, can you take pity on me and marry me?"
