Chapter 378 Kiss You Many Times


    Less than a minute after she hung up the phone, John called her.


    Nina answered the phone with a bright smile. "Honey, good evening."


    Hearing the cheerful voice of his wife, John couldn''t hold his smile back. "Good evening, honey."


    "What''s up?" Nina asked with a smile. In order not to disappoint him, she had to pretend that she


    didn''t already know his n.


    He sensed that Nina was behaving strangely. ''She was at odds with mest night, so why is she so


    sprightly now?


    Is she just happy to be in Spring City?


    Just as Nelson and his wife say, travel could really change someone''s mood.


    ''Travel makes people forget their troubles. I guess that''s why they are still traveling all over the


    world, leaving their child to us.''


    "Are you happy to be in Spring City?" John asked.


    Every year, Nina came here on holiday because she could have a clear view of C Ind. It cheered


    her up, but it also made her miss her home.


    The real reason she was happy was because she knew that John was nning on proposing.


    "Yes. Travel cheers me up." Nina didn''t mind telling a white lie. It wasn''t hurting anyone.


    John nodded his head.


    "I know you always take a nap after your flight and forget to have dinner. Don''t worry, I have taken


    care of it. Dinner is waiting outside your door right now. Go get it."


    "Really?" Nina pretended to be surprised. She put on her slippers and happily strolled to the door.


    "Thank you, honey. I actually am really hungry."


    "I don''t want you to thank me. You can repay me by kissing me when you see me." His low voice


    bellowed in her ear. It was so enchanting that it left Nina looking flushed.


    Nina thought, ''He''s be more and more shameless. How can he just say that so casually?''


    John heard no answer but only the whistling of the sea breeze. He smiled. "Are you blushing?"


    He was well aware that she couldn''t handle when he flirted so bluntly. Even though intimacy was by


    no means lost on them, he could still easily make her feel shy so effortlessly.


    "No." Nina patted her face and tried to calm down. "When I see you, I probably won''t just kiss you


    once. Are you prepared for a lot of them?"


    Just thinking of it filled John with excitement.


    "Go get the dinner. I''m hanging up." John hung up the phone in a hurry and reached out, sping


    his chest. He could feel his heart pounding furiously with every passing second.


    He touched the ring box in his pocket which only spurred his adrenaline on.


    He was actually a little nervous.


    He was usually so poised for big asions. He wasn''t expecting to act like a teenager when the


    time came to propose to his wife.


    He breathed deeply but it wasn''t enough to subdue his excitement. If anything, he felt his nerves


    skyrocket.


    After knowing that they were a couple, they lived together and did what a couple would do, skipping


    the steps of falling in love, proposal and engagement.


    At first, he didn''t think proposing was a big deal, but he realized how incredible it could be when he


    saw how overjoyed Emma was because of James'' proposal. He learnt how much happiness it could


    bring Nina and how memorable it seemed.


    There were a lot of things that happened in life but very few were unforgettable.


    John hoped to create a multitude of unforgettable memories with Nina. He wanted to remember her


    forever, even in the next life. These were memories that could guide them to each other in the next


    life.


    He had to make this moment perfect.


    He took another deep breath and paced back and forth, looking into the distance from time to time.


    Richard had never seen John so nervous. It inexplicably made him nervous too. It was just so out of


    the ordinary.


    "Mr. Shi, you''ve only just hung up the phone. It''ll take a while before Mrs. Shi can actuallye


    here."


    In the past, John would have shot him a piercing nce, but he was a changed man. Instead, he


    spun around and looked at Richard helplessly.


    "Am I dressed okay?"


    After a short pause, Richard swiftly replied, "You look very handsome."


    "I know I''m handsome." John didn''t hold back what he wanted to say anymore.


    "What do you mean, Mr. Shi?"


    "Am I formal enough? Is it suitable for such an asion?" John lowered his head, looking at his


    clothes as Richard studied him closer.


    John was wearing a pair of shiny leather shoes, ck trousers, a well-cut suit and a white shirt. His


    navy blue tie was meticulously tied, only highlighting his dignified appearance.


    His sharp features and prominent Adam''s apple only added to his masculine charm. Although his


    expression was as indifferent as usual, it could not hide the tenderness in his eyes and the smile


    finding its way onto his mouth.


    He was so nervous he began to pant a little, drying out his lips. He licked them from time to time,


    making them red.


    John was in a dark area but what little light there was shone on his hulking exterior. He seemed to


    always eclipse most things.


    "Why hasn''t she arrived yet?" John raised his hand and looked at the time. Ten minutes had passed


    already.


    "Please just be patient. I''ll check." Richard picked up his phone and called the man who they put in


    ce to send Nina her dinner. "Has Mrs. Shi left yet?"


    "No, not yet. She''s really tucking into her dinner at the moment." He quietly slipped away and


    watched Nina secretly. She seemed to be taking her sweet time, savoring every bite. "It could take


    her as much as half an hour to finish."


    "Half an hour?" Richard''s whole body seemed to freeze. He nced at John who was eagerly


    awaiting the news.


    If John had to wait any longer, he would probably lose his mind. He would run to Nina, throwing all


    his time nning down the drain.


    "Find a way to get her here soon." Richard couldn''te up with a n quick enough so he left his


    faith in the hired help.


    Looking at the phone, the man was perplexed. What was he going to do? All he thought he had to


    do was deliver the food.


    As he was about to rush out, he saw Nina hesitate while chewing. She must have found it, right?


    His nerves eased slightly. Now that she found it, he wouldn''t need to worry anymore.


    Nina spat out the strange thing, and it was a piece of paper. "Not a ring? Shouldn''t it be a ring?"


    This wasn''t exactly what she had imagined.


    ''Is he proposing with a note?'' Nina thought.


    She stared at the piece of paper, not even reading it. She set her dinner aside and pointed at the


    man in the corner, shouting, "You, where is John?"


    He was speechless. ''How keen is your sight? Can you see me?''


    Knowing that John was going to propose, Nina had kept an eye out for anything and everything all


    night. Although she was eating, she watched him out the corner of her eye and saw where he was


    trying to hide.


    "Come out. I see you," Nina said helplessly. "It''s okay you don''te out; just tell me where John


    is."

    He slowly raised his hand in the dim light, showing Nina where to go. He refused to step into the


    light, still trying to hide.


    Nina ignored this foolish man and headed straight to John.
