<h4>Chapter 7: What? A marriage proposal already!</h4>


    Hudson University is also a renowned private university in New York City.


    L drove William to the school.


    Throughout the journey, William was attentively observing how L was driving, instinctively taking note of all the details.


    As their car entered the university town, it soon attracted a lot of attention.


    L was driving a red Maserati Ghibli, one of the few saloons made by Maserati. It''s not overly expensive, but her license te was unforgettable.


    "L''s here!"


    "Get ready, everyone!"


    "Darn it, if I seed today, I''ll book Marquee nightclub for a month and treat you all! All expenses on me!"


    ...


    The moment L''s car parked, a group of people immediately swarmed around it. At the front was a skinny, pale-looking young man, behind him was a crowd each holding a vibrant bouquet of roses.


    "L! I love you!" The young man in the lead took a big step forward, holding a diamond ring, he actually knelt on one knee in front of L, "Be my girlfriend!"


    As soon as his words fell, balloons rose up all over the campus, with banners on them all printed with the same message - L, I love you!


    L coldly stared at the young man in front of her without saying a word.


    "Be his girlfriend!"


    "Be his girlfriend!"


    The crowd around them started to make a fuss.


    "Edward Brown! Tell everyone to disperse. Stop bothering me." L couldn''t take it anymore, it was getting out of hand.


    The sky was filled with banners attached to balloons, it was rather intimidating. Not to mention, Edward and nearly a hundred people behind him held flowers over their heads, shouting in unison under the sea of flowers.


    Any average girl might have been moved by Edward''s romantic disy, but L felt only annoyance.


    Edward was still on one knee, ring held out, looking at L and firmly said, "Be my girlfriend. I won''t stand up until you agree."


    "Then stay on your knees!" L was extremely annoyed. It was at this point that she realized William hadn''t left the car. She turned around and opened the car door for William, "What are you still sitting there for?"


    After exiting the car, William calmly said, "I wasn''t paying attention to how you opened the door."


    "..." L was amused by her annoyance. What kind of person was this?


    This was the first time she had ever opened the car door for someone.


    "Who''s this guy, L?" Edward stood up abruptly, pointing at William.


    L finally couldn''t help butugh, "Edward, can you stop bothering me? I really have no interest in you!"


    Edward slowly put away his ring, his face grew cold, and he stared at William, "Kid, who are you?"


    Kneeling in front of so many people, only to be rejected, and then a guyes out of L''s car.


    Could Edward Brown stand for it?


    The most important thing was what William had said when he got out of the car.


    He hadn''t noticed how she opened the door?


    Obviously, William wasn''t wealthy.


    The story of a poor boy wooing a rich girl wasmon, but in the real world, if their social statuses didn''t match, it was impossible!


    William nced at Edward, then at the pomp behind him, and at the balloons still floating in the sky. It was all quite novel.


    "Talking to you!" Edward was infuriated by William''s indifferent expression. He felt ignored.


    Boom!


    Boom! Boom!


    Just as William looked up, all the balloons in the sky exploded simultaneously. Not only that, even the banners were blown into a mess.


    Shreds of fabric and broken balloons started to fall.


    "What the hell is going on?" Edward was stunned. How did thousands of balloons explode at the same time?


    And how could the explosion of the balloons shred the banners to pieces?


    "L, let''s go." William indeed ignored Edward entirely.


    A rich second-generation? A wealthy young master?


    William had seen way too many of such people from ancient times to present. Never mind high-ranking officials'' offspring, every prince that had offended William in the past had met a terrible fate.


    "Let''s go!" L didn''t want to deal with Edward anymore, but as she passed by him, she cautioned, "Edward, don''t mess with him, got it?"


    Edward really wanted to beat William up right then and there, even make him disappear from this world. But even he didn''t dare to ignore L''s words.


    After William and L had left, Edward''s group immediately swarmed around him.


    "Edward, who is this guy? He dares topete with you! Tonight, we''ll make sure he''s finished!"


    "I heard it clearly just now, that guy doesn''t even know how to open a car door!"


    "Heh! This pauper dares to flirt with Miss L? I bet he won''tst three days in school."


    A glint of ruthlessness shed in Edward''s eyes. He sneered, "Three days? You think he can stille to school tomorrow after he and L stroll around campus like this?"


    What a joke!


    Edward was able to pursue L so openly today because they had an agreement in their young masters'' alliance.


    They had a poker gamest night within the alliance, and Edward emerged as the big winner, earning the first chance to pursue L.


    There would be another round tonight, a game of pool. The winner would get tomorrow''s opportunity.


    However, regardless, only those within their alliance could pursue L. Anyone else who tried would be theirmon enemy.


    Sure, Edward''s failed attempt to woo L was somewhat embarrassing, but it was within his tolerance. However, some nobody suddenly appeared from nowhere, arriving in L''s car, and L even opened the car door for him.


    Once this news gets out, that guy is done for.


    William never expected that just apanying L would draw such hostility.


    Likewise, L was unaware that because of her, a young masters'' alliance had emerged in the school.


    With information provided by Anthony Carter and having notified the principal, William''s admission procedure was already taken care of when they arrived. Under L''s guidance, William came to the male dormitory building.


    "Do you remember the way now? If you want to go back to your ce, you can take the school bus from the left turn we just passed, to the subway station. Then take the subway to Hunter College Station. After exiting the subway station, you''ll be on East 62nd Street." L seriously suspected that William had no sense of direction, as he kept looking around the whole way.


    "Um, don''t worry about that. I usually prefer to walk!" William had a good memory. He remembered things from thousands and thousands of years ago, let alone these trivial matters.


    "Walk?" L was stunned. From the school to East 62nd Street was over twenty kilometers. How long would it take to walk back?


    L was slightly frustrated, she took a deep breath and said, "Alright, go check out the dorm. I won''t apany you in. This is your student ID, dorm 306. Do you need to buy any daily necessities?"


    "I guess so, I don''t have anything right now. You can help me buy them first, I''ll go check it out. Note down how much it costs, I''ll repay you next month." After finishing his words, William smiled at L, then walked into the male dormitory.


    L stood in ce,pletely dumbfounded. As the breeze brushed against her face, her thoughts were somewhat chaotic.


    Did this guy really ask her to buy his daily necessities and then deliver them to him?
