The road was very congested during rush hour.
When the car stopped at the destination, the sky had already begun to darken, looking vague.
Crystal was lost in her thoughts all the way until a big hand reached over and unfastened her seatbelt.
She pursed her lips as she looked up at the deep-defined face in front of her.
Erik was puzzled. "Lil Star, what's wrong?"
Crystal shook her head. "Nothing!"
Erik raised his hand and touched her head.
Under his palm was the soft touch of her hair.
Thinking of tonight's preparation, he couldn't help feeling hot in his heart.
He smiled and said, "Then let's go in!"
Crystal responded and got out of the car.
It was a high-end entertainment club. After entering, the manager greeted them and led them to the elevator after confirmation.
The elevator door was golden, inlaid with tulips, and people could see their reflections on the petals.
It was only then that Crystal noticed that Erik seemed to be dressed up intentionally today. He didn't wear military uniform but a casual suit. Just like the last time they went to the amusement park, his short black hair and facial features were angular and charming.
When they came in, the female receptionist did not even look away from him.
When the elevator arrived, Erik's cell phone rang.
The call was from the military. His expression became serious in an instant and he said to her, "Lil Star, go up first and stay in the WIP box on the third floor. I'll come later!"
Crystal nodded cleverly. "Okay!"
The box was on the third floor and the elevator arrived soon.
Crystal asked a waiter then she arrived at the door after a short while.
Behind the glass door, it seemed to be meticulously decorated.
At this moment, there were already quite a few people inside. Some people were moving about, and there were even rough male voices coming out. They should be Erik's comrades-in-arms.
As Crystal pushed the door open a little bit, she could hear the voices more clearly.
"When I just knew that Erik was going to confess tonight, I thought that the sun was coming out from the west. Our Lieutenant Colonel Chin was tempted! Not to mention the ladies from his mother's business partners, even those female soldiers in our army, none of them has ever been noticed by him!"
"Yes, I'm also curious who the girl is! I heard from Aiden that Erik has been waiting for many years!"
At this time, the third person said unhurriedly, "I have inquired about her. She should be the daughter of Schain's Group, called Holly. I have met her once. She was in the same university as my sister. I heard that she was a genius student. When she was in high school, she even jumped two levels. What's more, she was from a decent family. She and Erik are a good match. They are both outstanding people!"
He knew that two girls would come tonight, one of whom was Erik's younger sister. Although she was more beautiful and brighter, he did not think much about it and subconsciously thought that the person Erik liked was Holly.
The person next to him immediately responded, "Holly Schain? I have seen her on the newspaper. She is really beautiful and elegant!"
The third person nodded in agreement. Pretending to be mysterious, he continued,
"I've also heard that the reason why Erik came all the way to Ice city is to propose marriage to her parents..."
Crystal did not move.
She put her hand on the door handle tightly and felt her skin getting colder bit by bit.
