Chapter 280: Xu Cheng, What Should I do? (Part two)
The queen was pleasantly surprised. “Oh? You have someone you like already? Tell Grandma, Grandma will be the witness of your proposal.”
Will was delighted. He immediately said in a gentleman-like manner: “Grandma, the person I like is actually at this banquet. I want to marry the Lin Family’s daughter, Nicole.”
The crowd immediately began discussing among themselves.
Terry’s eldest son was anxious. “Dad, we can’t let the Lin Family raise up for sure, or our family will be in danger!”
“Don’t act rashly, I don’t need you to tell me what to do.” Terry held down his son.
Lin Chuxue immediately became the focus of everyone’s attention, including Her Majesty the Queen.
The Queen looked down at the Lin Family and smiled as she said, “My grandson is a kind and responsible young man. Mr. Lin, what do you think about this marriage?”
Lin Guiren and his wife’s faces weren’t looking too well. Lin Guiren was just about to politely reject it, but Third Prince didn’t give him the chance and immediately said to the queen, “Nicole already agreed, Grandma.”
“Oh really?” The Queen happily looked at Lin Chuxue. Will immediately looked at Lin Guiren and gave a warning look.
Those side family members of the big Lin Family immediately began sucking up to the Royal Family. “That’s indeed the case, Nicole had already agreed to Prince Will’s proposal. But after all, Nicole likes things to be more romantic, and the Third Prince also wants to have everyone witness this happy moment, so here we are before you, Your Majesty, hoping that you can give the couple your blessing.”
The queen laughed happily. “Oh, so that’s the case. I was just surprised, Nicole had been the center of attention since young, and I’ve always been curious who was the man she like. It turned out that my grandson Will has the blessing of receiving her love. The Rose of Britain ultimately marries into the Royal Family, this is an event to be celebrated, and I would definitely give my blessings. Nicole, do you really accept Will’s proposal?”
Will immediately went down on one knee before Lin Chuxue, “Nicole, will you marry me?”
As he said, he took out a wedding ring box from the pocket of his suit, with his eyes looking straight at Lin Chuxue.
Lin Chuxue looked at him, then at the others around her. She pursed her lips and originally wanted to decline, but then, she saw her grandpa and those other side family members casting pleading looks at her, with a hint of warning.
Lin Guiren was just about to talk, but his father-in-law held him back and whispered, “You don’t want to save the company anymore?”
Lin Guiren: “But I won’t save it with my daughter’s happiness.”
Then, in front of everyone, he said loudly, “I’m afraid that I can’t agree with this marriage!”
The crowd immediately reacted.
The Queen frowned, and Will’s face also darkened.
The Queen asked, “Why not? Since both sides have already agreed, and it’s the business of the younger generation, we should be more lenient and let the kids make the decisions. After all, Nicole is already 24 years old, she’s not that young anymore.”
Lin Guiren slowly said, “What I meant is, after all, our blood is not noble enough, and Nicole may not be worthy of Prince WIll.”
Will: “Even if Nicole’s a refugee or beggar, I will still marry her.”
Lin Guiren secretly cursed, F-ck off, if it isn’t because of my daughter’s face, would you still be willing to marry her?
“Then we should also ask Nicole. Since it’s about the freedom of love between young people, you should ask for her opinion,” Lin Guiren said and he looked at Lin Chuxue, giving her a look encouragement, telling her that her father would support her no matter what decision she made.
Lin Chuxue had been pursing her lips, and at that moment, she subconsciously turned to look at the door of the palace.
Xu Cheng, what should I do?
Chapter 280: Xu Cheng, What Should I do? (Part one)
The queen slowly walked down the stairs with a group of officials from the British Empire following her down.
When she walked over, some delegates of other countries in Europe came forward to greet them.
With the company of many princes and princesses, the queen greeted the guests one after another. She was pretty old now, and she was still very friendly towards all.
She smiled and thanked all the distinguished guests, “I’m very grateful to everyone for coming to attend my 88th birthday. Every one of you all are familiar faces, let’s all relax and enjoy the evening.”
Then, with the help of someone by her arm, she went to the sofa and began chatting with some of the government officials.
There were plenty of booze and snacks tonight, and many people came with gifts. They all went to the sofa and greeted the queen before they handed up their gifts, and the old lady was very happy.
Will brought someone that carried a glass case covered by a white piece of cloth, and it made people wonder what was inside. He walked to the queen and also saluted, “Grandma, I prepared a gift for you!”
“Oh? Will’s gift had always been the best every year, what did you prepare this year for Grandma? Let Grandma see.”
Will smiled proudly. Just like what Crown Prince Ace said, Will was way too free, and without the stress of being the crown prince, he naturally didn’t have much to worry about when making friends and taking in bribes. So, every year, his gift would be super luxurious.
He gestured, and the royal soldier lifted up the white cloth. Inside the glass case, a majestic crown covered in pearls and jewels was shining brightly there, and everyone at the scene exclaimed.
”Isn’t this… a crown from the previous century? I remember seeing it in history books.”
“I think I’ve seen this crown before.”
“Yeah, I also think I’ve seen it before. I think it was at the last exhibition at France’s Fontainebleau Palace.”
“Right, right, isn’t this the crown of Napoleon III?”
Seeing everyone’s interest piqued, Will laughed. “The real crown was lost in the war, and awhile ago, this was stolen from the Fontainebleau Palace, and I looked around and spent a lot of time and effort before being able to get my hands on this. Although it’s just a replica, it still doesn’t affect its precious collection value. I know my grandma loves collecting crowns, so here it is, I’ve added this piece to your collection for your 89th birthday!”
The Queen of England grinned and was very happy. It seemed like she was particularly interested in this gift out of all that were gifted to her that night.
“Nice, nice, Will, you really put a lot of heart into this gift, and Grandma really likes it. Grandma will accept your gift. Tell Grandma a wish of yours, and Grandma will try my best to fulfill it.”
Right as she said that, the Lin Family’s faces changed.
A glimpse of joy appeared in Will’s eyes, as he felt he got exactly what he wanted.
Terry’s family’s faces also drastically changed, especially when they saw the crown in Will’s hands. Terry’s eldest son was also furious. “This thief, it’s indeed him that stole our stuff!”
Terry’s face also looked like he was just fed sh-t in his mouth.
Then, Will said to the queen, “Grandma, I’m also not young anymore, I want Grandma to be a witness for my proposal.”
