Chapter 614: 176: Agreed to be together, visiting parents, guests who have come from afar! _1
There was a diamond ring in the red velvet box.
Under the light, the diamond ring dazzled with blinding brilliance.
Gathering his courage, Shangguan Dehui stood up from the chair and knelt on one knee, “Comrade Daya, Chairman Mao said that any courtship which doesn’t lead to marriage is hooliganism! I heard that young people nowadays propose on their knees, so please allow me the opportunity to take care of you!”
Shangguan Dehui was very nervous, holding the diamond ring, his hand was trembling.
Ni Cuihua was stunned, her mind blank.
She had not expected Shangguan Dehui to make such a move.
Was he proposing marriage?
Ni Cuihua had never experienced something in her life.
In her earlier years, she did not even have a decent wedding ceremony, now she had a surprisingly ceremonious marriage proposal in front of her.
Looking at Shangguan Dehui kneeling on the ground, Ni Cuihua’s eyelids turned a bit red.
Her heart was beating rapidly.
She wasn’t made of wood, through their time together and their meeting in their youth, she had indeed developed unusual affection for Shangguan Dehui.
But could she accept Shangguan Dehui’s proposal?
She knew that Shangguan Dehui came from a distinguished family, and was a university professor with superior family conditions. But she didn’t even have a primary school graduation certificate.
The disparity between them was too great.
And Ni Yang, she hadn’t communicated with him about this, would Ni Yang agree?
Then there was Little Ni Yun, he was still so young.
Although Shangguan Dehui would accept Little Ni Yun, would Shangguan Dehui’s family accept her?
At Ni Cuihua’s age, it wasn’t that if they had love they could be together.
She had many issues to consider.
For a moment, Ni Cuihua felt caught between a rock and a hard place.
“Daya, you should trust in me. I promise to treat you well in the future,” Shangguan Dehui seemed to see Ni Cuihua’s hesitation and continued, “As for Yangyang, she agrees with us being together! As for my family and my children, they absolutely will not interfere with my personal feelings!”
Madam Shangguan was not an unreasonable person.
And both Shangguan Xu and Shangguan Xi were good children.
Shangguan Dehui was confident that he could give Ni Cuihua a happy life.
Upon hearing his words, Ni Cuihua was startled, “Yangyang, she?”
Shangguan Dehui continued to explain, “I talked to her a month ago. Yangyang is a good child. She said she hopes you are happy! She does not oppose us being together! Therefore, you should not have any psychological burden, leave all the problems to me! We have already missed the first half of our lives, I do not want to miss the second half as well.”
Ni Cuihua didn’t expect that Shangguan Dehui had already discussed this matter with Ni Yang.
Knowing that Ni Yang did not object, she felt much more relaxed.
Shangguan Dehui was a very good man.
He treated her well, and was good to both Ni Yang and Little Ni Yun.
In her youth, Ni Cuihua didn’t know what love felt like. She didn’t expect to experience the flavor of love at middle age.
Would the huge difference between them really be no problem?
Ni Cuihua looked at Shangguan Dehui, her hands tightly clasped together, and began speaking seriously, “Comrade Shangguan Dehui, do you know my personal situation?”
“Hmm?” Shangguan Dehui didn’t react for a moment.
Ni Cuihua continued, “I was born in the countryside. I have no education, I haven’t even stepped half a foot into a school, a year ago, I couldn’t even recognize half a word…”
Regarding her past, Ni Cuihua didn’t want to hide anything.
If it was black, it was black.
If it was white, it was white.
“I know, I know all of it.” Shangguan Dehui continued, “Daya, during this time together, I haven’t felt that there are any language barriers between us. You are a very excellent person, if you were to ask me, it’s me who isn’t worthy of you!”
“I hope you’ll seriously consider our feelings; in life, you only get one shot. If we miss this chance, I fear we may only see each other in the next life.”
He was not the Cowherd, Ni Cuihua was not the Weaver Girl; their relationship didn’t span across the Milky Way and there were no heavenly laws or the Queen Mother impeding them.
With peace and stability in this age, lovers should consummate their love.
Ni Cuihua bit her lip.
At this moment, a small white hand reached out and picked up the diamond ring from the velvet box, “Mommy, wear it!”
Ni Yang had previously bought a gold ring for Ni Cuihua, and Little Ni Yun often held it to help Ni Cuihua wear it, even playing with it as a toy. So, she was familiar with rings.
