Chapter 1696
Zoya was stunned for a moment, and her cheeks were a little hot. She turned her eyes away and said, "... Although this is a move for a woman, as a woman, I am happy to hear it from my fiance."
"Thank you..." she said, "I love you too."
After a pause, she lowered her voice. "But... is that all?"
What about the proposal?
She would rather marry him!
Ragib didn't say anything for a moment. He knew what she was waiting for, which made Ragib, a valiant man, feel a little pain in his heart. He really couldn't bear to treat Zoya like this and this woman he loved.
However, he really could not get married now.
He nodded gently. "Yes, that's it."
Zoya suddenly turned around and glared at him. "I'll give you another chance. Do you have nothing to say to me?"
Ragib shook his head.
"Ragib!" Zoya shouted angrily.
Under Ragib's thick black eyelashes, his eyes could not reach the end.
At this time, he was like a king-like lion. He was silent in front of the mother lion who was roaring and loving him, but he was unwilling to say another word.
Zoya slowly stood up with the help of the table. She reminded him with a thick face, "I'm telling you, Ragib, I'm not young anymore. I can't continue to waste time with you. If you don't want to marry me, why did you get engaged to me? Why did you swear to me?"
Ragib just sighed. "I'm sorry, Zoya... I really can't marry you now."
"What did you say?" Zoya couldn't believe it. She was so shameless to remind him that it was time to propose to her, but he was still unmoved. As a woman, where could she put her face? Her voice trembled. "Say it again?"
Ragib saw that her anger was almost out of her head. He knew the consequences, but he couldn't lie to her. "I can't marry you now..."
Pa!
Zoya slapped him in the face.
With reddened eyes, she threw the box containing the ring onto his face. "Then return your worn-out ring to you, and I'll take back what I said just now. I don't welcome you there!"
Zoya left angrily, and the heavy door of the private room gave her a heavy sound!
A palm print slowly appeared on Ragib's face, but he didn't care. He bent down and picked up the ring box on the ground. He opened it and looked at the ring lying quietly inside. It was specially made before he went to South Africa last time.
At that time, he had decided that he would propose to her after coming back from South Africa...
"So you've always been with me." Ragib sighed helplessly.
The Ragib family called.
Ragib picked up the phone and listened to his mother's anxiety on the phone. He sighed and said, "It's useless. I just told her that she was very angry. She even gave me the ring... I'll go back to the Ragib family later. I have no choice. When I hear that I'm going to retire and I can't marry her for the time being, how can she not be angry?"
Even this beautiful night of reunion, which had been separated for a long time, had come to an end. She went back to the Ragib family home to sleep.
When Zoya came out of the president's hotel, a few drops of tears in her eyes were blown out by the night wind and stuck to her hair. Zoya wiped them and fanned her eyes to prevent herself from crying.
It was really what she said last time. Last time when she went to bed with Chloe, Chloe said that Ragib would definitely propose to her. She said that maybe he wanted to say "I love you"!
Look at her crow's mouth!
"It's all right now. Am I right? I'm going to die!"
"It's okay. Calm down. Don't make yourself look as if you can't get married. You're so mean!" Zoya scolded herself. "There are many men chasing you. If he doesn't marry you, how can you die? Go back and have a good sleep. Don't f*cking propose!"
After getting a taxi in the front, Zoya pretended not to think about Ragib's words and went straight back to the Happy Community to sleep.
The next morning, the news in City was indeed broadcasting the news of Ragib's retirement. The news was too sudden. Not only TV, but also many news media outlets were paralyzed for almost a day!
Because Ragib not only had outstanding military achievements, but also was promoted to major general at such a young age. The most important thing was General's only son.
If he retired, what would happen to the Ragib family?
Who would have the final say in the future?
Ragib and Zoya were engaged. Now that Ragib had retired, what would the Zhan family do?
For a moment, the media were talking about it. They even asked around for information, hoping to find out the whereabouts of Ragib and Zoya to interview them.
On the other side of Half Moon Lake, when Mrs. Zhan saw the TV and opened her mouth wide, she was also confused by this sudden news.
She immediately called Ragib. "Young Master, is the news on TV true? Have you
retired?"
"The news released by District can't be false." Ragib's voice sounded lazy and tired on the phone. "Anyway, I'm retired now. I have plenty of time to rest over there in the future. You should cheer for being able to see me often!"
"But," Zhan's mother said anxiously, "Young Master, why? Why did you retire?"
"This is my decision."
"But Young Master, it's a pity..."
"Why are you talking so much nonsense?" Ragib said impatiently, "In short, things are just like the news. You don't have to ask anymore."
The phone was hung up.
"Hey? Young Master? Young Master?"
Zhan's mother said that she still had a lot of questions. She did not give up and called him a few times. It was not until there was a blank tone on the phone that she let out a long sigh and put down the phone.
At this time, the supervisor asked for leave. There were no other servants in the villa of Half Moon Lake. Even the only chef had been dismissed. Only Mrs. Zhan was in charge of this place and cooking at the same time. She was really out of her mind.
She was really worried!
"This... if Miss Zhan heard it, how could she bear it?" Zhan's mother sighed. How could it suddenly become like this? In principle, when the Young Master left last time, he left a ring for them to give to Miss Zhan. The Young Master should have proposed to Miss Zhan when he came back. Now that he had retired, how could the marriage be completed?
Or would the Zhan family agree to their marriage?
Their Young Master and Zoya were arranged through marriage. The Zhan family wanted the power of the Ragib family, and the Ragib family also wanted the power of the Zhan family. Marriage was a matter of interest. If their Young Master retired, he might not be able to be in power in the future. Would the Zhan family let Miss Zhan marry their Young Master?
Also, what did the general and his wife think? How could they agree to Young Master's retirement?
Zhan's mother said that she couldn't figure it out!
But there was no one to discuss it at the moment. She could only worry and sigh...
At this time, Chloe hadn't left Michael with Aman yet, but Aman had left City for a meeting in the United States. Chloe was alone in Shallow Bay all day long.
Bucky, and the others frowned when they saw the news. They didn't expect Ragib to retire.
"How... how come it happened so suddenly?" She stared at the TV. "Is there any inside story?"
"There must be something inside." Bucky looked serious. "Ragib is General only son. In the future, he will be the speaker in the H-N area. How can he retire at will?"
"That is..."
"Outsiders don't know," Bucky said, "In short, the Ragib family must know the inside story of Ragib's retirement, and it was approved by General. Otherwise, how could General agree to Ragib's retirement?"
"The Ragib family knows? What about the Zhan family? What about Miss Zhan?" Jing asked, "They are engaged. As the eldest daughter of Commander Zhan, Miss Zhan can't marry a powerless person, can she?"
Bucky frowned deeply again. "As I said, outsiders don't know these inside stories."
He sighed again. "It's a pity that the Young Master left last night. Otherwise, the Young Master should be able to get some information from Ragib."
"Is that so?"
"No." Bucky thought for a moment. "With the relationship between Young Master and Ragib, Young Master may know about it. Didn't Special Assistant Shawn say that Young Master and Ragib went to drink last night?"
She thought about what Special Assistant Shawn had said in the morning and nodded. "Yes."
"Then it's possible. It's the internal affairs of Ragib and the others." Bucky guessed. "Or maybe he made some discoveries on his trip to South Africa. For example, he must retire first."
"Is there such a thing?" it was hard to believe that Aman and Ragib were superior people.
How difficult it would be for them to make Ragib retired first?
