Chapter 84: The Flamboyant Confession

After Qian Rongrong finished using the restroom and was just about to head back, her phone rang again; it was something about the company.

She walked aimlessly while answering the call, and only after she finished did she realize she had arrived at the corridor connecting two buildings.

She was just about to turn back when she saw Ma Zicheng.

Ma Zicheng had a freshly snapped cherry blossom branch in his mouth, the pink, delicate blossoms fragrant and beautiful.

Amidst Qian Rongrong's bewildered expression, Ma Zicheng walked up to her, deliberately cleared his throat, and then said in an exaggerated tone:

"Oh, my beautiful girl, you are like a blooming cherry blossom in this school, unique and impossible to ignore. My admiration for you is like the oldest tree in this school—deep-rooted and unshakable."

As he spoke, he handed the flower branch from his mouth to Qian Rongrong, then dramatically knelt on one knee, putting on a look of deep affection.

This scene instantly attracted a large crowd of onlookers.

Most of the onlookers were students out for a stroll during their lunch break, along with some teachers and staff who had been drawn in by this sudden scene of a confession.

In truth, such things were common at school and not particularly rare, but the identity of the parties involved was too special to ignore.

They didn't know Ma Zicheng, but Qian Rongrong was the behind-the-scenes boss of Xinrong Medical College; there wasn't a person in the school who didn't know her.

As for Ma Zicheng, they took him for a student with commendable courage.

A medical college student confessing to a beautiful CEO on campus—what a rare and romantic scene!

The onlookers were all full of novelty and excitement, raising their phones one after another, determined to record this once-in-a-lifetime moment!

Qian Rongrong looked up at Ma Zicheng's exaggerated actions, a flash of surprise in her eyes: "Ma Shao, what is this..."

"No, you wouldn't believe it, my love for you is deeper than the deepest ocean and higher than the highest mountain. If love were a war, I would be willing to be your prisoner, never seeking freedom!"

Ma Zicheng's face was full of sincerity and determination, like a warrior facing death without fear.

"Uh..."

Qian Rongrong felt speechless, thinking to herself, is this second young master of the Ma Family a fool?

She sensed the gazes of those around her, shook her head slightly, and then said calmly: "Ma Shao, I appreciate your intentions, but love is not a performance; it is a sincere exchange of feelings between two people. I hope you can understand that true affection does not require such an exaggerated confession."

Ma Zicheng froze. He looked at Qian Rongrong, the confidence on his face slowly turning into embarrassment.

He hadn't expected Qian Rongrong to actually reject him, but on second thought, it made sense; after all, it was their first time meeting, and his flamboyant actions did seem quite abrupt.

However, with the backing of a family background like the Jinling Ma Family, Ma Zicheng wasn't worried about failure in the slightest.

Being rejected now, he simply assumed Qian Rongrong was being reserved and shy, playing hard to get.

He believed that as long as he persisted for a few more minutes and gave her a suitable way to save face, Qian Rongrong would go with him.

Girls, after all, care about their reputation, especially a beautiful Patriarch like Qian Rongrong.

But as it happened, Ma Shao was most skilled at giving beauties face!

"Rongrong, from the moment I first saw you, I fell deeply in love with you and couldn't pull myself away. Your beauty makes me linger, unable to sleep at night!"

Ma Zicheng raised the flower branch again and said loudly: "Rongrong, let's be together! Please be the daughter-in-law of our Jinling Ma Family!"

Wow!

Once these words were spoken, the whole place was in an uproar!

"The Jinling Ma Family? So that man isn't a student; he's from the Jinling Ma Family!"

"I think I saw President Qian and Principal Luan welcoming some people today; could it have been the people from the Ma Family?"

"The young master of the Jinling Ma Family came all the way to Shanghai to pursue love; how romantic!"

"As expected of our beautiful CEO, to be so longed for by a young master from Jinling—I'm so envious!"

"Although President Qian is my goddess, if the competitor is a young master from Jinling, then I have no choice but to reluctantly give up my love!"

"A talented man and a beautiful woman, a perfect match! Get together!"

"Get together!"

"Get together... get together..."

The onlookers began to jeer, their shouts filling the entire campus, and more and more people came to watch the spectacle.

Ma Zicheng was very satisfied with the effect he had created. He had deliberately revealed his identity to cause a stir and, on the other hand, to put pressure on Qian Rongrong.

This tactic of his was indeed very effective; the atmosphere had been stirred up, and Qian Rongrong was also knitting her brows, her expression conflicted, caught in a dilemma.

She had originally thought that Ma Zijun and the others had come here simply to see Li Qingyan.

She hadn't expected Ma Zicheng to be such a playboy, pulling a stunt like this in public!

Of course, she would not agree to Ma Zicheng, because she was now Chen Che's servant and could only serve Chen Che for the rest of her life.

But on the other hand, Ma Zicheng truly could not be offended. A family like the Jinling Ma Family could, if they wanted, blow the Qian Family half to death with a single breath.

Qian Rongrong's expression was troubled; she really didn't know what to do.

At this moment, looking up inadvertently, she saw Chen Che.

Chen Che had originally come out of the reception room and, having waited for Qian Rongrong in vain, had decided to wander around.

Finding that the students were all gathering in one place, he assumed there was something interesting to watch and had followed them over.

Pushing into the crowd, he discovered that the people involved in the commotion were actually Qian Rongrong and Ma Zicheng.

The moment Qian Rongrong saw Chen Che, she had an idea. She cleared her throat and said: "Ma Shao, I know you are very outstanding. But a twisted melon is not sweet; these things must be based on mutual willingness. I am honored and grateful that you like me, but please forgive me for not being able to accept you, because... I already have someone I like!"

For the last sentence, Qian Rongrong deliberately raised her volume, while at the same time, looking at Chen Che in a way that seemed unintentional but was actually intentional.

Wow!

Qian Rongrong's words caused another huge sensation.

"What? President Qian has someone she likes? Is that fake?"

"I remember at the last freshman orientation, someone asked, and President Qian said she wasn't married and didn't have a boyfriend; how did someone she likes suddenly pop up?"

"Not being married or having a boyfriend doesn't conflict with having someone you like, and besides, she just rejected the young master of the Jinling Ma Family; it shouldn't be fake!"

"That's true, goddesses have always liked god-tier men. I wonder how outstanding a man has to be to make my goddess willing to reject Ma Shao for him!"

………

Listening to the surrounding discussions, Ma Zicheng's expression gradually darkened; he had not expected that even after bringing up the Ma Family, Qian Rongrong would still refuse him.

As for that "having someone I like," he certainly did not believe such an excuse!

But the momentum had already been built up; if it were to end just like this, it would truly be too embarrassing!

Ma Zicheng slowly stood up, his expression gloomy; he lost his patience and said irritably, "Miss Qian, since you know my status, yet you still refuse to show me any face, are you not afraid of offending me?"

Qian Rongrong smiled politely, "Many thanks for Ma Shao's affection, but I know myself that I am not worthy of Ma Shao."

"At least you have some self-awareness!"

Ma Zicheng revealed his true nature and said in a deep voice, "I don't care if you agree or not; today's performance, you must finish acting it out with me. Even if it's fake, you must put on the appearance that is expected of you!"

Qian Rongrong sensed that Ma Zicheng was becoming enraged; her expression changed, and she immediately looked toward Chen Che with a look of appeal.

Chen Che sighed helplessly and walked out of the crowd, "Ma Shao, if you've had enough fun, then go back. If you continue any further, you will only be bringing humiliation upon yourself."

Swish, swish, swish...

For a moment, all eyes were focused on Chen Che; no one had expected that someone would suddenly emerge halfway through.

The audience, who had thought this fruitless confession would end just like this, had their emotions stirred up once again and stared at the corridor with expectant expressions!
