How can Claire not know?   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   And Leo is never a gentleman. He proposes to Claire like this, and many women at the scene envy her.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   &#8220;Claire, will you marry me?&#8221;   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   Leo opens the box. Inside the box is a diamond ring as bright as a star. Claire has to admit that it&#8217;s really beautiful. She wants to accept it.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   Leo sees Claire&#8217;s eyes and is also happy. He thinks his proposal is successful.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   And then the crowd start yelling and making Claire accept Leo.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   But Claire pouts and says, &#8220;I accept your apology, but I don&#8217;t accept the proposal!&#8221;   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   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.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   Conan, in particular, is shocked. In fact, today he knows Leo will show up. Leo couldn&#8217;t face Claire before, and Conan guessed it and found Leo himself. Father and son talked for a long time.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   Leo really didn&#8217;t want to see Claire again. He didn&#8217;t want to abandon her. He thought he had been wicked and cruel and didn&#8217;t deserve Claire.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   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.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   Conan thinks he knows Claire. He knows Claire likes Leo. According to the script, Claire should have accepted it. Claire&#8217;s behavior surprises Conan.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   &#8220;Mommy is so stubborn. Women are fickle&#8230;&#8221; Conan shakes his head helplessly.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   Luke agrees with Conan because of Kate. He also doesn&#8217;t know what Claire wants to do. She wanted to see Leo before, but now she refuses his proposal.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   She&#8217;s so fickle!   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   Leo doesn&#8217;t respond specifically to this response. He just waits quietly for Claire&#8217;s explanation.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   Claire smiles and says, &#8220;do you think I&#8217;m easy to get? It depends on your performance. It&#8217;s too sudden. What do you think I am&#8230;&#8221;   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   When they hear this, they relax again. It turns out that this is a joke between the couple.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   Leo doesn&#8217;t insist. Because it means Claire agrees to his proposal and it&#8217;s just a lack of ceremony.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   He stands up and smiles and nods and says, &#8220;thank you for your help, but tonight is my date with Claire. Please don&#8217;t stay here.&#8221;    <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   Although he is polite, he is still domineering. All have to leave.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   Conan&#8217;s plan is a complete success this time. Before he leaves, he says to Leo, &#8220;Daddy, I&#8217;m lonely by myself. You need to hurry up.&#8221;   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   Leo says unhappily, &#8220;dating takes a long time. Come home.&#8221;   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   Conan raises his index finger and says, &#8220;no, I don&#8217;t mean that. Daddy and Mommy, hurry up and give me a little sister&#8230;&#8221;   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   Claire listens to Leo and Conan&#8217;s conversation and knows that Conan must have been involved in it, and when Leo didn&#8217;t want to see her, Conan was definitely aware of it.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   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.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   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, &#8220;aren&#8217;t you leaving yet?&#8221;   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   Conan and Luke run out of the restaurant.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   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.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   Claire turns shyly and mumbles, &#8220;do you want to be here&#8230;&#8221;   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   Leo pinches Claire&#8217;s waist and smiles, &#8220;what do you want, my little wild cat? We&#8217;ll have western food in the western restaurant. What would you like to eat?&#8221;   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   Claire knows she is wrong, so she is more shy.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   Leo puts Claire in her seat and sits opposite her.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   Everything is planned. After the two sit down, the lights in the restaurant go out and the music is quieter.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   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.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   The waiter brings the wine and dishes and leaves quietly.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   Everything is hazy except for the bright candles. In particular, the light of the candles illuminates Leo&#8217;s handsome face and makes it dreamy.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   &#8220;We didn&#8217;t seem to have enjoyed a candlelight dinner so quietly before. Don&#8217;t you like the atmosphere?&#8221;   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   Claire is in a trance so Leo asks her with concern.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   Claire shakes her head and says with a smile, &#8220;actually, I think a lot about what happened in the past.&#8221; She stops and looks straight into Leo&#8217;s eyes deeper than the ocean. After a long time she says, &#8220;so the contrast between the present and the past makes me feel incredible.&#8221;   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   &#8220;I mean fate!&#8221; Claire explains with a smile.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   Leo shrugs and shakes his head. &#8220;If I knew you were the little wild cat, we wouldn&#8217;t have suffered so much.&#8221;   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   Leo pours the wine himself and they raise their glasses. In the smile and love, the red wine cup sounds crisp.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   Claire&#8217;s heart pounds from the beginning until now. She&#8217;d love to drink some red wine to calm down.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   But Leo suddenly stops her. &#8220;Claire, wait a minute.&#8221;   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   Claire wonders and blinks and asks, &#8220;what&#8217;s the matter? Are you afraid I&#8217;m drunk?&#8221;   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   Claire&#8217;s eyes are like two curved moons and look more beautiful in the candlelight.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   Leo smiles and says, &#8220;I know how much you can drink, and you&#8217;d better get drunk tonight.&#8221;   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   &#8220;Then why do you stop me?&#8221; 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.   <\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;Now that you&#8217;ve forgiven me, of course I&#8217;m here to propose.&#8221; Leo has been kneeling on one knee from the beginning until now, and his sincerity is in the eyes of all people.
