But Xiaojin didn’t know what he was thinking. Seeing him struggling, he thought he still wanted to find his mother. So naturally, Xiaojin hugged him tightly and took him out of the living room for a while.
A four-year-old child suddenly witnessing his mother being proposed to by another man must feel a bit of a gap in his heart, right?
After all, half of his mother’s love would have to be shared with another man from now on.
That’s what Xiaojin thought, so on his way out, he specifically chose to go to the back yard of the villa.
In the living room, however, the atmosphere had almost reached a boiling point. Seeing the woman standing before him still looking dazed, Lin Yebai finally took out the ring he had prepared long ago.
"Aning, can you forgive me?" he asked.
All sounds ceased, all movements froze, and it seemed as if the living room contained only the dazzling ring and the man standing before her, inside that circle of light.
He said it was because he loved her too much.
He was still asking if she could forgive him.
Ye Ning’s vacant gaze shifted inch by inch from his face to the brilliant ring in his hand. Her mind was in such turmoil that it resembled a completely overturned pot, so chaotic that she didn’t even know what she was doing or where she was.
"Brother Lin, what are you doing?" she asked.
"I don’t mean anything else. I just want to tell you today, in the presence of my mother and all our family and friends, Aning, that I truly love you!" he said.
He finally expressed those words, words he had kept hidden for five years. He thought that by keeping them to himself and showing his affection through his actions, she would understand.
But she never understood, and she ended up falling for someone else. So today, he finally spoke those words out loud.
Aning, is it still not too late to tell you that I love you?
However, to his disappointment, as soon as he finished his speech, he saw a sharp contraction in her startled pupils. Immediately, her footsteps instinctively took a big step backward: "Brother Lin, you..."
"Aning, will you marry me?" he proposed.
Time froze once again!
And this time, due to his explosively powerful words, the girl standing opposite him was completely dumbfounded and even forgot how to react.
Was he asking her to marry him?
Was this a proposal?!!
Ye Ning was completely astonished, her eyes fixed on the man before her, her mind a total blank...
"Aning, I love you!" Yebai declared.
Lin Yebai observed all her expressions and hesitated no more. He reached into the small box, then took out the sparkling ring.
Today, no matter what, he was determined to put it on her finger.
He lifted her delicate wrist, and the air suddenly became quiet, filled only with their breaths and the dazzling light that was almost too bright to look at.
It was a moment so tense it took one’s breath away!
But just as he was about to slide the ring onto her slender, jade-like finger, there suddenly came footsteps from the garden outside...
PS: Tonight I’ll be posting an explosive update of 30 Chapters, which also means that the book will be going behind a paywall late tonight. I know this news will be good for some and not so good for others, but the reality is that almost all books in the bookstore require payment now.
I don’t want to cry about how poor I am, and I ask that you don’t insult me by calling me a liar or anything because I never promised the entire book would be free. I’m a professional author who depends on writing to make a living. I hope for your understanding. If you’re fond of the story, you can continue to follow it, as tonight’s update is going to be incredibly thrilling. For those who don’t care for it, I am grateful for your support along the way.
Once again, love you guys...
