"Ladies and gentlemen, today I would like to use this platform, with all of you as my witnesses, to do something I have wanted to do for a very long time," his warm voice rose, like a pebble thrown into calm waters, creating ripples and causing the crowd to look on with puzzled expressions; for they knew Bai Chengxi as someone quite low-profile, usually appearing only briefly in a guest capacity, without uttering even half a word.
Bai Chengxi continued looking in Zhuo Yuqing's direction, his magnetic voice tinged with a thread of sentimentality: "I want to propose to a girl whom I deeply love, right here."
