Seriously, How Did He Win My Heart
Chapter 696 A Real Relationship

"Why not have a real relationship with me?" Lucien wanted to be in a serious relationship with Sylvie. What Andrew did made Lucien realize that he couldn't rest on what he had achieved to date. Therefore, Lucien continued solemnly, "Sylvie, would you like to be my girlfriend?"

Sylvie was shocked at Lucien being so straight to the point, since she had just thought about this yesterday.

Lucien was the first man who offered to date Sylvie, so she was at a loss for a moment.

Lucien looked around before he grabbed Sylvie's hand and took her into the car. "We can talk about it after getting out of here."

After all, with the crew members around, Lucien didn't want to stay here anymore.

Lucien thought he was too impulsive. He should have brought Sylvie to a quiet and romantic place.

Sylvie, whose mind went blank, was even more dumbfounded when she was held by Lucien. Lucien's palm was so hot that she felt as if it was burning.

Sylvie hurriedly retracted her hand and sat in the back seat, her ears red.

Lucien asked the driver to take them to the hotel where Nina and Sylvie stayed. Lucien remembered that there was a coffee shop with only a few people at this time now, so it would be a nice place for them to talk it through.

Lucien and Sylvie sat in a corner where few people passed.

After the coffee was served, Lucien looked at Sylvie, who was sipping her coffee, and said solemnly, "What do you think of my proposal? I want to be your boyfriend, so let's start a real relationship,"

Afraid that Sylvie had been too stunned to hear what he was saying, Lucien repeated.

Sylvie held the coffee cup in both hands and sighed. "Are you serious?"

"I'm very serious."

Sylvie said in a low mood, "You're so rich and handsome. Why do you like me?"

This was what Sylvie wondered. As an ordinary employee, she didn't know why Lucien fall for her.

However, Lucien missed the point. All his attention was paid to that Sylvie praised him as handsome. His face beamed at once and he said in a soft tone, "Just as you think I'm very handsome, I think you're very beautiful, cute, and funny."

Hearing this, Lucien was a little shy. She lowered her eyes and took a sip of coffee. After thinking for a while, she said, "If you mean it, I agree."

Sylvie was somehow much braver than she thought.

Sylvie remembered what Nina said and thought it was very reasonable. Then why not give it a shot?

Her answer surprised Lucien a little. He asked uncertainly, "Really?"

Sylvie nodded seriously. "Yes."

Sylvie had always been so conservative and reserved that she seldom fought for anything bravely and willingly. Thus, Sylvie thought she should make the change.

The smile on Lucien's lips turned wider. To his disappointment, Sylvie, who sat opposite him, added, "We can break up at any time if something goes wrong between us." Lucien's face darkened. It turned out that Sylvie didn't take their relationship seriously.

What's worse, she didn't think things were going to work out between them.

Overcome with anger, Lucien was lost for words for a moment. He picked up the coffee in front of him and couldn't calm down until gulped it down.

When Sylvie saw this, her eyes popped out of her head.

Lucien took a deep breath and smiled again. "Well, let's give it a shot."

Lucien couldn't say anything else.

He didn't want to say no.

Finally, Sylvie agreed to date Lucien, so Lucien couldn't miss this chance. Anyway, he would try his best to marry Sylvie.

In order not to get Sylvie stressed, Lucien wouldn't force her to do anything.

With a smile, Sylvie raised her coffee cup and clinked against Lucien's, saying, "Here's a toast to our new relationship. Cheers!"

Lucien was both angry and amused. Sylvie was really a creature of impulse. Lucien wondered whether it was an outcome of their age gap.

However, they were only a few years apart, so it should be because Sylvie was too capricious.

Lucien chuckled. "Cheers."

He added, "We will enjoy being together."

Sylvie didn't say anything else but smiled gently.

She turned to look through the huge window and felt like it was a dream. She thought, "I'm not single anymore! I thought I would be alone for the rest of my life." "What do you want for lunch?" Sylvie's agreeing to date took a load off Lucien's mind.

Whatever happened, Lucien would not agree to break up with her.

Sylvie tilted her head and thought for a moment before saying, "It's up to you. I'm not picky about food."

Lucien was amused again. "Are you sure?"

"Yes," Sylvie replied with a smile.

Lucien took Sylvie to a restaurant with a romantic setting. During the meal, the waiter brought a large bouquet of red roses to Sylvie, which greatly shocked her.

This bouquet of roses was so big that Sylvie was almost covered by it when holding it in her arms.

Sylvie barely managed to show her face from behind the roses and said to Lucien, "This restaurant is so generous. It's such a big bouquet."

She thought that the roses were from the restaurant, so Lucien smiled with a shrug. "I ordered this from a flower shop. It's the first day we date each other, so I want to give you a present to memorize today." Lucien had wanted to give Sylvie some expensive gifts, such as designer handbags or jewelry. However, Lucien was afraid that Sylvie would refuse, so he changed his mind and decided to give her the roses. Lucien knew he should be careful, or he would scare Sylvie away.

Sylvie was surprised, moved, and delighted.

It was very considerate of Lucien to get Sylvie the roses as a memorial.

By contrast, Sylvie was too indifferent. She said somewhat embarrassedly, "I didn't even prepare anything for you. I'm sorry."

Lucien sighed and smiled. "It was the best gift that you agree to date me."

"Come here! Let me take a picture of you," Lucien said and raised his phone. Sylvie thought it was strange for him to like taking photos. Lucien said, "You can post it on social media with the caption that you're not single anymore."

Words failed Sylvie.

That was what Lucien wanted.

"I'll also post it later." Lucien decided to do the same with Sylvie.
