Chapter 2349 - 2259: Little Ai, I Won’t Let You Leave 1

Qingqing drowsily hung up the phone and continued to sleep soundly.

After the call was cut off, Wubai was frustrated with nowhere to vent. He glanced at the time on his phone; there were less than fifteen minutes left. According to the plan, Qingqing was supposed to be bringing Maimai to watch the dance now.

Suddenly, the power would cut out, and amidst the commotion, a beam of light would quietly shine on Little Ai, while the crystal lights above would illuminate to a starlight brightness.

Under the starlight, he would dance solo!

Actually, he wanted to invite her to dance with him, but Little Ai was pregnant, and he didn’t dare take the risk; a mishap could affect his child.

So, he planned a solo dance, where another beam of light closely followed him, leaving only these two beams of light in the world—her and him. Midway through the dance, he would glide to her front. He even prepared his lines for the moment his friends would hand him flowers.

He pulled out the engagement ring from his trouser pocket...

Holding flowers and the ring, he kneeled on one knee...

He proposed to her under the starlight and completed this sacred ritual in the witness of all their family and friends.

He was certain she would say yes.

He would then take her hand to his elders, telling them that this was the woman he chose to spend his life with.

Everything in the plan was so perfect, but it was missing the most crucial person now—where had the leading lady gone?

Wubai was frantic and called Little Ai’s phone.

But the phone showed it was turned off.

Why was it turned off?

Wubai went to find Huanhuan: "Mom, have you seen Little Ai?"

Huanhuan paused for a moment, then shook her head: "Wasn’t she at my table? I was talking with everyone, and earlier I saw her laughing and chatting with a group of girls, so I didn’t keep track of her, what’s wrong?"

"I don’t know where she went," Wubai said.

"Maybe she went home first. It’s so late, and she’s pregnant. Little Ai’s a sensible girl; she’s always careful and never stays up late, worried it would be bad for the child," Huanhuan said.

"But I clearly told her tonight to wait for me to go home together, not to leave early," Wubai said, realizing more talking to his mom was wasting time, he decided to find Little Ai himself.

He thought maybe she was tired and went to some room upstairs to rest.

The whole hotel was booked for tonight; all guest rooms were freely available to tonight’s guests. Anyone too tired or drank too much could choose a room to rest in.

With less than thirteen minutes left, Wubai ordered everyone with a phone to help search, even calling the hotel’s surveillance room to check which room Little Ai went to. Whether in hallways or elevators, the surveillance footage must have captured her.

But there was nothing; the results were extremely disappointing.

Then, news came from the surveillance room—footage showed Little Ai left the hotel over an hour ago.

"How could you mess this up? You promised her a surprise, and now the lead is gone early?" Zun Zun critiqued him with exasperation, "Couldn’t you have made more preparations? It’s no good now. With only nine minutes left, you think your proposal will still happen? And here I worked so hard on your lines—completely wasted."

Wubai clutched his phone in frustration, pursing his lips, silent and looking very displeased.
