As Mr. Qin sent the picture of the red card to Stacy, anticipation filled the room. The weight of the message hung in the air as he awaited her response.
Time seemed to stretch, each passing minute intensifying his growing worry. The familiar ding of an incoming message broke the silence, as he rushed with all eagerness to check it but he was met with disappointment it was not from Stacy.
Instead, it was Ziyu, sending him a list of places to buy roses and a ring.
Frustration and disappointment etched across Mr. Qin's face as he read the message. The anticipation he felt turned into a mix of emotions—anticipation for Stacy's response and anxiety about her silence.
Determined to distract himself, he decided to explore the suggested locations for flowers and a ring.
Mrs. Chen, noticing his restless pacing, couldn't ignore his unease any longer. She approached him with concern, offering a simple yet comforting solution.
