　　The whole audience was shocked.
　　No one expected that Xiao Qingdi would propose to Bai Bing in public.
　　Xiao Qingdi’s eyes were full of affection, and the light shone on his handsome face, making him look like a prince.
　　Of course, the most eye-catching thing was the diamond ring in his hand.
　　It was actually a very rare blue diamond.
　　It was as big as a coin.
　　”Oh my god, this diamond is so big！”
　　”It’s at least fifty carats！”
　　“I’m so envious of that woman！”
　　“Huh? I seem to have seen this diamond ring somewhere?”
　　As soon as a spectator raised a doubt, he heard Xiao Qingdi say to Bai Bing, “In this world, I like three things the most, the sun, the moon, and you. During the day, it’s the sun. At night, it’s the moon. And you, it’s forever. The name of this diamond ring is Blue Starry Sky, which means eternal love. Bai Bing, I love you！ I hope to be with you forever！”
　　“My God, it’s actually the Blue Starry Sky. No wonder it looked familiar just now.” The spectator who had previously raised the doubt exclaimed.
　　“Is the origin of this diamond ring very remarkable？” someone asked.
　　“Not just remarkable, it’s extremely rare in the world.” The spectator who had spoken earlier said, “Blue diamonds are already rare treasures. A blue diamond as big as this one, there are only a few in the whole world.”
　　“You all know Cartier, right？ The most famous jewelry manufacturer in the world, famous since the 19th century, customizing jewelry for the royal families of various countries. Therefore, Cartier is also known as the ‘King of Jewelry’ and the ‘Jeweler of the Emperor’. And this Blue Starry Sky is one of the treasures of Cartier’s store.”
　　“Two days ago, I heard that the Blue Starry Sky was bought by a mysterious buyer. I just didn’t expect that this buyer would actually be Young Master Xiao.”
　　“Do you all know how much this Blue Starry Sky diamond ring costs？”
　　“How much？”
　　“Two hundred million… US dollars！”
　　Hiss——
　　The whole audience gasped in surprise.
　　Two hundred million US dollars, after conversion, is more than one billion Chinese yuan. Suddenly, the eyes of those women on the scene looking at Bai Bing turned red.
　　“That woman is so happy！”
　　“Envious！ Jealous！”
　　“If only Young Master Xiao proposed to me with the Blue Starry Sky！”
　　However, Bai Bing didn’t speak for a long time.
　　She lowered her head, and no one knew what she was thinking.
　　There was not a trace of impatience on Xiao Qingdi’s face. On the contrary, his voice became gentler.
　　“I know that all of this is a bit sudden for you, but please believe in my sincerity. I will be good to you for the rest of my life.”
　　After Xiao Qingdi finished speaking, seeing that Bai Bing still didn’t respond, he continued, “I remember when we were abroad before, you told me that you hoped that one day, the person you liked could put on crystal shoes for you under the starry sky… Please look.”
　　Pop！
　　Xiao Qingdi snapped his fingers, and instantly, the lights in the banquet hall went out, and the scene was plunged into darkness. Then, a blue star appeared.
　　Immediately after, the second, the third…
　　In the blink of an eye.
　　On the ceiling of the banquet hall, thousands of stars appeared, making the entire banquet hall become a blue starry sky.
I saw blue stars carved from sapphire hires densely distributed in the air, shining brightly like a dream giving people the illusion of being in the universe.
　　Besides, in the very middle of this starry sky, two transparent crystal shoes were suspended with ribbons, crystal clear and shining with charming luster.
　　“Wow,　so　romantic！”
　　“Young Master Xiao is really so caring！”
　　“So envious of that woman！”
　　One after another scream sounded at the scene.
　　Bai Bing stared blankly at this starry sky. Once upon a time, those beautiful times were played back like a movie in her mind over and over again. Gradually, tears appeared in the corners of her eyes…
　　Xiao Qingdi finally let out a sigh of relief.
　　Once a woman sheds tears, it means she is moved. As long as she is moved, it means that he has a chance.
　　Xiao Qingdi stood up, personally took down the two crystal shoes, and then returned to Bai Bing’s presence and knelt down on one knee.
　　“My princess, please let me put on the crystal shoes for you！”
　　After Xiao Qingdi finished speaking, he bent down to help Bai Bing take off her shoes.
　　Seeing this scene, the women present exclaimed one after another：
　　“Young Master Xiao is so gentle！”
　　“I really like him so much！”
　　“That woman must have saved the Milky Way in her previous life, otherwise how could she get Young Master Xiao’s love？”
But at this moment, Bai Bing, like a frightened little rabbit, suddenly stood up, took two steps back, and pulled the distance between herself and Xiao Qingdi.
　　“Bai Bing, what’s wrong with you…” Xiao Qingdi looked at Bai Bing in surprise, and his handsome face was full of confusion.
　　Bai Bing wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes and said with a cold expression, “Xiao Qingdi, thank you for everything you’ve done. Unfortunately, I’m not blessed to enjoy it.”
　　“Why？” Xiao Qingdi still didn’t understand.
　　Bai Bing said, “No matter how delicate a mirror is, once it’s broken, it’s impossible to restore it to its former state. Just like us, it’s hard to reunite after breaking up. Do you understand？”
　　“I don’t understand.” Xiao Qingdi said stubbornly, “As long as I can make you change your mind, I’m willing to do anything.”
　　“It’s impossible to go back, it’s impossible to go back…” As Bai Bing spoke, tears flowed from the corners of her eyes again.
　　A few years ago, when she was studying for a doctorate at the Royal College of the United Kingdom, she met Xiao Qingdi at a gathering of international students.
　　Actually, when she was in China, Bai Bing already knew about Xiao Qingdi and also heard some deeds of Xiao Qingdi. So, from the bottom of her heart, she didn’t have a good impression of Xiao Qingdi.
　　That meeting was the first time the two met. Xiao Qingdi didn’t act willfully and arrogantly as rumored. On the contrary, his series of actions completely subverted Bai Bing’s impression of him.
　　At the party, he first played the piano, tap danced, and did magic tricks, looking like an artist; then he told everyone about the history of China, like a learned scholar with great grace. Finally, he composed a love poem on the spot and gave it to Bai Bing, as elegant as a gentleman.
　　Successfully won Bai Bing’s favor.
　　Since then, Xiao Qingdi often found various reasons to ask Bai Bing out. After half a year of persistence, finally, the two confirmed their relationship.
　　“If that incident hadn’t happened, maybe I would have become his wife by now…”
　　Remembering the past, Bai Bing felt a heart-wrenching pain.
　　After breaking up with Xiao Qingdi, Bai Bing found out that everything Xiao Qingdi had shown in front of her was a disguise. Behind the scenes, Xiao Qingdi was a complete playboy, doing whatever he wanted relying on being the younger brother of the Champion Marquis.
　　This made her wounded heart be salted again.
　　Bai Bing swore to completely break off with Xiao Qingdi.
　　“Bai Bing, I know I was sorry to you before, but I am willing to make up for you with the rest of my life. Will you be with me？ I promise that I will only love you in this life.” Xiao Qingdi didn’t give up. He said pleadingly while reaching out to hold Bai Bing’s hand.
　　Bai Bing quickly took a step back, and her voice became even colder. “Xiao Qingdi, I once swore that I would never get back together with you in this lifetime. So, I hope you won’t pester me anymore in the future.”
　　”Why？”
Because I’m giving up on you.
No, you’re lying to me! You still love me, right? If you don’t love me, then why did you shed tears of being moved just now?
The reason I was moved was because I recalled the past. The reason I refused you are also because of the past. I’ve already suffered once, and I don’t want to suffer again.”
　　”Bai　Bing,　I…”
　　”That’s it！ I wish you find your own happiness！”
　　At this time, Feng Youling walked up to Xiao Qingdi and whispered a few words in his ear.
　　Instantly, anger blazed in Xiao Qingdi’s eyes. He pointed at Ye Qiu and loudly asked Bai Bing, “You refused me. Is it because of him？”
