For this proposal ceremony, Joyce Shaw had been anxious for a long time, but couldn’t resist the desire in his heart. He brought it up two months into his relationship with the crazy girl.
He didn’t expect the proposal to succeed the first time and had prepared many backup ceremonies.
But that night, while eating Western food, when he heard the crazy girl describe her dream proposal ceremony, his heart started to race.
That was exactly the ceremony he had prepared for her!
With such a mutual understanding, how could she refuse his proposal?
Sure enough, when he knelt down on one knee and presented his engagement ring, the crazy girl immediately accepted.
He knew he hadn’t met her parents yet or gotten their agreement for the proposal, which was indeed a bit rushed.
But he didn’t want to miss this good girl; he only wanted to quickly put a ring on her. Then he could patiently wait to meet her parents, wait until graduation, and then marry her.
Joyce Shaw opened the ring box in his hand, revealing a platinum ring symbolizing Three Lives Three Worlds. On the narrow band, there were delicate grooves like three tracks, with the middle track encrusted with small diamonds.
Those small diamonds were only the size of grains of rice, but of very high purity.
When the jewelry box opened, those diamonds immediately reflected tiny colorful rainbows, as if a small neon light was installed inside the box.
The crazy girl exclaimed, "Wow, the Three Lives Three Worlds Ring! You actually bought the Three Lives Three Worlds Ring!"
She extended her trembling hand and watched as Joyce Shaw slowly put the ring on her finger.
This ring perfectly fit the shape of the crazy girl’s hand, making her jade-white fingers appear even more slender and beautiful, as if the ring was tailor-made for her hand.
Looking at the ring, the crazy girl took a deep breath and said, "...I remember the name of this ring very clearly. When I had just entered university, I went shopping with Sister Three Billion, and I fell in love with this ring at first glance. Sister Three Billion mocked me for being old-fashioned, saying this style was popular among Hollywood starlets a hundred years ago."
"But I just like it because I like the name of this ring."
Joyce Shaw’s heart was filled with unspeakable emotion and deep affection. He restrained his overwhelming joy and said, "What a coincidence, I also really like the name of this ring, so I bought it as my engagement ring."
"I actually didn’t expect you to understand the deeper meaning of this ring, but you not only know it, you’re attracted by it for the same reason."
He looked up at her, then slowly lowered his head and gently kissed the back of her hand, speaking as if in a dream, "Ah Chu, I lost my parents when I was young and was raised by my grandmother."
"Grandma was very good to me, but she couldn’t replace the position of my parents in my life."
"All these years, I’ve always known what I want. I want a home, a home with the one I love."
"So once I decided on you, I thought every day about marrying you home."
"When you graduate, we’ll get married. Then we’ll have two children, one boy and one girl."
"And then bring grandma over to live with us. I’ll work hard to earn money, hire babysitters, postpartum caretakers, and part-time workers to take care of you, the children, and grandma."
"After getting married, you can do anything you want to do."
"I don’t want you to suffer any grievances. I’m a man, and I’ll work hard outside. I’ll endure any grievances alone; I can’t bear for you to suffer them too."
The crazy girl knew Joyce Shaw’s family background wasn’t great, but through his own efforts, he could buy a diamond ring for the woman he liked.
Although the diamond wasn’t big, it made her happier than a ten-carat diamond would.
"I know you’re good to me." The crazy girl pulled Joyce Shaw up, leaned into his arms, and said with a smile, "But how could I bear to let you suffer alone?"
"If there’s any grievance, we’ll endure it together. It’s better than you enduring it alone."
"I also graduated from Yan University, so my ability to endure grievances and pressure isn’t less than yours." The crazy girl thought she was smiling, not realizing that tears were already flowing down her face.
Joyce Shaw leaned down, gently kissed her face, and kissed her tears away one by one, saying, "I know, so I can’t bear it even more."
He hugged the crazy girl, looking forward to the future: "On May 1st, I’ll go with you to meet your parents. Tell me what they like, and I’ll definitely fulfill their requests."
"If they want a child to take your surname, I’ll agree to that too." He lowered his head and touched the crazy girl’s upturned nose, "My name is Joyce Shaw because my dad’s surname is Shaw and my mom’s surname is Joyce. My grandma said they once discussed if they had another child, it would be named Shaw Joyce." ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝·𝘧𝙞𝙧𝙚·𝔫𝔢𝔱
