The night was deep as Liam carried the drunken Evelyn into the bedroom.

Her head rested on his shoulder, muttering something incoherent.

Liam gently laid her on the bed.

"Evelyn, rest for a while. I'll get you some water," he said softly.

But Evelyn suddenly grabbed his hand, her eyes hazy as she looked at him.

"No, I want to take a bath. I need to bathe right now."

Liam's face showed a hint of difficulty.

"Evelyn, you're drunk. How about resting first?"

"I don't want to rest; I want to bathe!"

Evelyn stubbornly stood up, wobbling towards the bathroom.

Liam, worried she might fall, smiled helplessly.

"Alright, I'll help you."

Evelyn sniffed Liam's shirt.

"You smell like alcohol too. You need to bathe as well!"

Liam chuckled. "Are you sure it's not your own smell?"

Evelyn insisted. "I want a bath, and you need one too. Let's go together! To the bathroom, onward!"

"Bathing requires taking off clothes," Evelyn mumbled. "Liam, why aren't you undressing? Let me help you."

She reached for Liam's shirt.

"Evelyn..."

Liam tried to stop her, but Evelyn's strength was surprisingly great, and soon his shirt was pulled open.

After stripping Liam, Evelyn began to undress herself, but she couldn't reach the zipper at the back of her dress.

"You, the game loser," Evelyn pointed rudely at Liam, "come help me undress."

Liam hesitated but saw how drunk she was and feared she might hurt herself.

Sighing, he began to help her undress. Evelyn's jacket and dress were soon off.

She turned on the shower, and her hair and body were instantly soaked.

As the water continued to pour over Evelyn, she began to sober up.

Realizing what she had just done, and seeing the almost naked Liam in front of her, her face turned crimson.

The shower's water cascaded down, splashing over Liam's muscular waist and shoulders, some droplets clinging to his defined muscles before slowly trickling down.

The steam from the hot water enveloped them, and Liam wiped the water from his chin.

When he turned his head, his eyes widened slightly, and the already warm bathroom seemed to heat up even more.

Evelyn could feel her heart pounding.

"Evelyn, I'm going to kiss you now."

With that, Liam's hot breath brushed against Evelyn's neck, followed by soft kisses on her lips, face, and neck, causing a tingling sensation.

"Liam..." Evelyn whispered.

Liam's hand rested on Evelyn's lower back, holding her firmly, leaving her no room to retreat.

A kiss, like a spark, ignited everything.

The world seemed to be covered with a hazy filter, and Evelyn could only vaguely see Liam through the water and mist, feeling his irresistible dominance invading her world.

The incessant ringing of a phone pulled Evelyn back from the brink of losing herself.

"Liam, your phone is ringing..."

"So distracted," Liam murmured, punishingly nibbling Evelyn's ear.

His lips continued downward, sending shivers through Evelyn's body. His predatory gaze traced her in the lamplight, especially intense.

Evelyn felt herself going weak, collapsing onto Liam's shoulder.

He scooped her up effortlessly.

The cold wall pressed against Evelyn's back, while Liam's hot fingers pushed her hair behind her ear. His breath was warm against her ear.

"Evelyn, I won't force you."

Evelyn watched a water droplet slide down Liam's face, hanging precariously at his jawline.

When the droplet finally fell, Evelyn felt as if it had landed on her heart.

She instinctively kissed Liam, whispering,

"Do what you want." She wrapped her arms tightly around him, wanting to meld into him.

It started raining again.

Spring is always accompanied by rain.

Spring nurtures the rain, and the rain brings forth spring.

Tonight's rain was gentle.

The soft raindrops washed away the dust from the flowers, awakening their vibrant pink hues. The petals curled slightly, absorbing the essence of spring.

As the rain intensified, the flowers, heavy with raindrops, swayed.

The wind gently brushed past, and the petals quivered, as if whispering softly.

Eventually, they could no longer bear the weight of spring, bowing their heads as clear droplets trickled down the leaves, collecting into a pool of rich spring color, nourishing the earth.

The flowers lazily stretched, continuing to endure the falling rain.

Each raindrop seemed to tell a story of spring.

As the rain sympathized with the flowers' fatigue, it gradually slowed.

The sound of rain on the petals softened until only a damp mist remained, clinging to the flowers.

A gentle breeze brought the fragrance of flowers, filling the air with spring's unique freshness.

Everything returned to calm.

In the night, the flowers appeared especially beautiful under the faint light, quietly waiting for the dawn to greet a new spring day.

Morning light filtered through the curtains, casting a gentle glow in the room, bringing the softest moment of the day.

Liam slowly opened his eyes and turned to see Evelyn sleeping beside him. Her face was peaceful, breathing steady and light.

Liam leaned down and placed a tender kiss on her forehead.

Evelyn stirred slightly but did not wake. A contented smile lingered on her lips, as if she felt his love even in her dreams.

Liam carefully lifted the blanket, got dressed quietly, and walked out of the room, gently closing the door behind him.

"Jason, bring me the diamond necklace from the safe."

"But sir, that's meant for your future wife, left by your mother..."

"Jason, you know I don't like my decisions being questioned," Liam said sternly.

"Sorry, sir, I'll get it right away."

A sleek black luxury car slowly pulled up to the entrance of the grand hall, its smooth lines and gleaming finish exuding unparalleled luxury and elegance, immediately drawing attention.

"A limited edition Bugatti La Voiture Noire! Is TechNova's CEO Liam attending? He's always been so low-key and rarely shows up at events. Why is he here today?"

"Rumor has it he has a girlfriend now. Maybe he's here to introduce her."

"He never even had a date for the ball. If he has a girlfriend, that's big news!"

The car door opened, and Liam stepped out first.

He was dressed in a custom black suit, brown leather shoes completing his sophisticated look. His healthy golden hair and deep blue eyes highlighted his handsome features.

Liam turned with a gentlemanly grace and helped Evelyn out of the car.

The moment she stepped out, murmurs of admiration arose around them.

"Wow, she's stunning."

Evelyn wore a luxurious light blue evening gown, adorned with an incredibly valuable diamond necklace and earrings, making her look even more regal and enchanting.

Hand in hand, they walked into the hall.

The floor was laid with pristine white marble, the walls adorned with lavish gold-edged wallpaper and paintings. Massive crystal chandeliers hung from the ceiling, casting a dazzling light that made the entire space feel like a dream. Exquisite floral arrangements filled the room with a fragrant aroma.

Prominent figures and social elites gathered, creating a grand scene.

Guests held sparkling champagne glasses, engaging in cheerful conversations. Waiters moved gracefully among them, carrying delicate food and drinks, enhancing the lively and elegant atmosphere.

They made their way towards the center of the hall.

Liam smiled and greeted a few familiar faces along the way before leading Evelyn to a specially arranged area for tonight's special event.

Suddenly, the lights dimmed, and a spotlight shone on Liam and Evelyn. Liam gently held Evelyn's hand, leading her to the center of the stage.

All eyes turned to them.

Liam gazed deeply into Evelyn's eyes, slowly kneeling and revealing a delicate box with a sparkling diamond ring inside. His voice was tender and firm.

"Evelyn, will you marry me?"

Tears welled up in Evelyn's eyes as she nodded excitedly.

"Yes, I will!"

As she spoke, countless rose petals rained down from the ceiling, enveloping them in a shower of flowers.

The crowd erupted in applause and cheers, and cameras flashed to capture this romantic moment.

The lights then softened, and Evelyn's favorite band appeared on stage, playing their favorite song.

Fireworks lit up the night sky outside, their colorful display reflected through the hall's large windows, filling the space with a magical glow.

In the gentle music, Liam stood, embracing Evelyn tightly. Their eyes locked, oblivious to everything else.

Guests came forward to congratulate them, some offering champagne, others handing over bouquets, making the atmosphere even more jubilant.

At this moment, Liam and Evelyn were the focus of the entire hall, their love celebrated in this luxurious setting.

The hall was filled with the scent of flowers and the sound of laughter, ensuring this night would be an unforgettable memory in their lives.
