He calmly gazed over the audience below, his eyes finally settling on Munni, standing outside the last row of the crowd.
Even across the vast distance, Munni could clearly see his lips slightly curved, sketching a brilliant smile that captivated everyone.
He opened his thin lips and calmly introduced himself to the audience, then began his speech.
From the moment Munni first saw him in the crowd eleven years ago, she knew this man standing before her was a natural born leader, like a lucky son favored by heaven, outstanding in every regard and admired by all.
As Munni sat below the stage, she gazed intently at the man speaking confidently and comfortably; he was like a bright full moon hanging in the night sky, surrounded by dazzling stars, showcasing his splendor. Thɪs chapter is updated by novelFɪre.net
His clear and magnetic voice blew gently like a spring breeze, causing beautiful ripples to spread across the lake of her heart.
As the speech neared its conclusion, Yisen closed the speech paper on the podium, his calm gaze once again crossing the crowd and stopping on Munni standing at the back.
His eyebrows gently curved, and the tenderness on his face was exposed under the spotlight, illuminating everything without reservation.
After a three-second pause, he opened his thin lips again, his voice clear and gentle as he said, "Ten years ago, my father, Xu Haotian, was invited to participate in the 40th anniversary of Wensheng Private High School’s founding. Back then, he also attended as a guest speaker.
I vaguely recall that morning before leaving, my mother gently adjusted my father’s tie and said with a tender smile, ’Haotian, good luck, Yisen and I will be watching you from the audience.’
That wasn’t my father’s first speech; as a successful businessman, he’s been invited numerous times to give speeches at various schools, but each time, my mother would encourage him before heading out, and then accompany him to the speech venue.
Like other times, that day mother sat beside me in the audience. As father went on stage to speak, her face maintained a look of happiness and pride, as if her gaze said... look, that’s the man I love, I am so proud of him.
When father’s speech ended, mother joined the crowd in applauding excitedly and then whispered in my ear... Yisen, I think your father performed exceptionally well, don’t you?
On the way home, mother told father, Haotian, you truly stood out today, Yisen and I are so proud of you.
Ten years later today, I am invited here as a guest speaker. This morning, while adjusting my tie in front of the mirror, I’m hoping that after my speech, she would say to me just as my mother did ten years ago after the ceremony... Yisen, you truly stood out today, I am so proud of you.
Munni, you silly girl who’ve cared for me for nearly twelve years, thank you for appearing in my life and once existing as my wife.
Over nearly twelve years, you’ve seldom missed a single day in my life. I wonder if, in my remaining years, I might be honored to appear in your world as your husband, spending each future day together with you.
I want to fulfill the promises I once made to you about the future.
I want to wake up every morning with you and the sunshine around.
I want you to be the heroine of my stories when I tell them to others in the future.
And I wish to... spend my remaining years adoring you, loving you, indulging you.
