As the line of flaming words rose to the sky, people were shocked when they saw it clearly and began to discuss:
"Is this a declaration of love? Did someone propose? "
"God, it's incredible! It's incredible! "
"Who did it? We can see it clearly from a hundred meters away. How fierce is the fire? "
"I'm going to faint. How much does it cost? Tell me, which rich man is playing romantic? "
Everyone, including Sophie's family, was looking out. Li Du stood up and tidied up his clothes.
When the flaming words appeared, Sophie and her parents looked back at Li Du in shock. Mr. and Mrs. Li could not recognize the letters and did not understand, but they also looked back at him.
Li Du knelt on one knee, looked up and smiled. He snapped his fingers and Brother Wolf brought over a small box. Li Du opened the box and found a pair of rings inside.
The ring was in the shape of a flower branch, and the face of the ring was a blooming flower petal. The petal had no bud, only a few petals at the edge. There was a diamond inlaid on it, a perfectly round diamond.
"Miss Sophie Martin, from the first time I saw you, I fell in love with you. I've loved you for a long time, really a long time. But I don't think it's been long enough. I want to be with you for a long time. Will you? "Li Du looked up and asked sincerely.
Sophie was still shocked by the boiling flames on the sea. Now that Li Du was confessing to her, she burst into tears.
From the moment Li Du's parents arrived in Los Angeles, she was ready to accept Li Du's confession, but she did not expect him to use such a grand scene to confess, which was far beyond her expectations.
When the customers in the restaurant heard Li Du's words, they knew what was going on. There was a burst of warm applause. Many people stood up and looked at them, clapping hard.
Mr. James was very proud. He smiled and said, "I can prove it, Sophie. This boy has been in love with you for a long time. When I first saw him, he looked at you in the park with that kind of look, the same way I look at your mother …"
Mrs. Martin held his hand, and the two turned to look at each other. Their eyes were warm and intertwined. This was a feeling honed by the passage of time.
Sophie subconsciously covered her nose and mouth, then pulled Li Du up. She put her arms around his back and choked, "Of course, of course, of course, I want to be with you! I've only accompanied you to Oceania and Africa. There are still many places we haven't visited yet! Of course we have to go together! "
Applause and cheers rang out incessantly. Many people were taking photos and videos with their mobile phones. The restaurant had no choice but to arrange for all the waiters to come up and calm everyone down.
Someone called out to Li Du, "Good lad, you're really something. This proposal might be the most expensive one I've ever seen!"
"How did you do that on the sea? Did they scatter fuel at sea in advance? That's impossible. How can the pattern be intact when the waves are so turbulent? "
"There must be a ship dragging the line of fire. God, isn't it too dangerous?"
"You should be asking, isn't it too expensive?"
Mrs. Martin was also very curious about this. She asked, "How did you do it? It was amazing on the sea just now."
Li Du said, "It's a type of fast submarine. Two submarines are underwater, and the fuel is continuously spewed out through a pipeline. The handwriting is a model made in advance. The model can spew out oil and gas. That's the principle. "
The diners guessed correctly. It was very expensive. Li Du had spent 500,000 dollars on the sea set alone.
Of course, he felt that the money was well spent. He had hired a professional wedding design company to help him come up with the proposal.
The Martins began to pass around Sophie's engagement ring. They asked, "What does this ring mean? A flower holding a diamond. Is this a diamond? So big?! God! "
They did not know Li Du's financial resources, and neither did Sophie.
Li Du smiled and said, "This is called Perfect Blossoms and Full Moon. It's from the same designer."
When he went to New York from Miami to thank Cole for his help, Li Du had the idea of making some diamond rings. He told Cole about the idea and asked him to help make them.
Not only was the diamond on the top of the ring real, but the crystal clear leaves below were also made of real diamonds. The Harry Winston group prioritized the work and worked day and night to make it in two days.
Sophie leaned on Li Du's shoulder and smiled sweetly.
Li Du's parents were still looking out at the sea. The flames on the sea had gone out. It was just oil and gas. It burned fast, but it went out fast.
They looked at each other and felt a little worried. Their son had spent a lot of money on this proposal. What was he doing in the United States? How could he have so much money?
Li Du explained that he was a student of Sophie's father, but Mr. Li had just noticed that Sophie's parents were shocked when they saw the scene on the sea, which showed that it was also difficult for them to do.
However, Sophie's parents were university professors, and there was no doubt about that. They trusted their son, which meant that their son's character was good.
Mr. Li touched the back of his wife's hand and whispered, "We have to trust our son. Can a son fool around? Don't worry too much. Come on, Xiao Xiao. "
Mrs. Li stared at him and said, "How can I laugh? Look at our son, it takes so much effort to propose. When you married me, you had to use a tricycle. How can you compare? "
Mr. Li was displeased. "Hey, you wastrel. It was good enough to have a tricycle. I was able to borrow a tricycle because I was good. It was much better than those sports cars now!"
Sophie was so touched that her eyes were brimming with tears, but when she heard her parents bickering, she was amused.
Li Du took his parents on a two-day trip to Los Angeles, and then they returned to Phoenix together. Li Du had to prepare for the engagement.
Marriage was a lifetime event, and the wedding had to be on an auspicious day. It was the same for American weddings.
The process of an American wedding was generally to propose first, and the girl would agree. After the engagement was successful, they could get married.
According to Li Du's understanding, Americans liked to hold weddings in June. First, the weather was the best. It was warm and sunny in spring.
Second, it was related to Roman mythology. In English, June was called JUNE, which came from the name of Juno, the goddess of love and marriage in Roman mythology.
As for the engagement, time was not important. As long as the feelings between the man and the woman were in place, they could prepare for the engagement.
However, according to tradition, if Li Du wanted to get engaged, he could not propose directly. He had to talk to Sophie's parents first. Her parents would only agree to the engagement if they thought Li Du was a man worthy of their daughter's life.
In America, engagement had the same significance as marriage. There was also a ring for an engagement. Once engaged, both parties could address each other as husband and wife.
Of course, Li Du had already given it away. The diamond ring was the engagement ring.
In addition, the American engagement period was unpredictable. It could last for weeks, months, or even years.
That was to say, the period between the engagement and the marriage could be very long. Some people even planned to have children after the engagement and delayed getting married.
Next, Li Du had to find a way to deal with the Martins.
