Chapter 0170 Long Time No See, Fiancé
All the lights in the domed hall were focused on that pink diamond.
Wen Ning stood under the spotlight.
Looking at Jiang Ci kneeling on one knee.
My vision was blurred by tears, obscuring the handsome features of the person in front of me.
Memories from three years ago surged like a tide.
That sunny afternoon.
In the study of the apartment.
He carefully took out the plain ring he had polished himself and asked her expectantly if she would like it.
At that time, her heart was bleeding, but she wore a vain smile on her face.
She lied to him.
They said they wanted the biggest diamond ring and the grandest spectacle.
She accepted his proposal only to deliver the most devastating blow at the victory celebration.
That was the most painful lie she had ever told in her life.
And he took it seriously.
He etched her lies into his heart, stroke by stroke.
Even after she left, when he hated her the most.
He still managed to make the ring.
That five-carat pink diamond.
Locked in a dark and gloomy safe, it accompanied him through countless difficult nights.
Wen Ning's tears fell onto the carpet in a steady stream.
In the past, her "I do" was a cup of poison that would burn through your gut.
But now.
Her heart is purer than this pink diamond.
Jiang Ci held up the ring.
My wrist is trembling slightly.
He's the kind of person who can remain calm and relentlessly press forward even at a negotiating table involving billions of dollars.
At this moment, however, he was as nervous as a naive young man experiencing love for the first time.
He is waiting for her trial.
Even knowing she loved him, his heart was still in suspense until he heard those three words.
Wen Ning sniffed.
She lowered her hand from her mouth.
Her eyes still held glistening tears, but a bright and radiant smile graced her lips.
She didn't say "I do" as expected.
Instead, it took half a step forward.
Slowly, but firmly.
He extended his left hand.
My fingertips felt slightly cool.
But it stopped steadily in front of Jiang Ci.
"have not seen you for a long time."
She looked into his eyes, her voice carrying a slightly coquettish nasal tone.
It sounded like a reproachful scolding, yet also like an expression of endless longing.
"My fiancé."
These five words.
Three years have passed, and countless misunderstandings and hurts have been endured.
It finally landed.
Jiang Ci's pupils suddenly contracted.
Breathing completely stopped at that moment.
He looked up at her in disbelief.
"this time."
Wen Ning raised her eyebrows, tears sliding down her cheeks, but her smile grew even brighter.
"Hurry up."
"Don't lose me again."
Jiang Ci's eyes instantly turned red.
He gritted his teeth, trying to suppress the sobs rising in his throat.
His chest heaved violently.
He stretched out his trembling hand.
Support Wen Ning's left hand.
With her other hand, she picked up the ring that shimmered with a pink halo.
Aiming at her ring finger.
Slowly.
It was pushed in.
There was no hindrance whatsoever.
The size fits perfectly.
It's as if this ring was born to be worn on her hand, to grow into her very being.
The coolness of the metal against the skin.
Jiang Ci held her hand tightly.
He lowered his head and reverently pressed his burning lips to the back of her hand.
It was imprinted on that ring that was three years late.
"Yes, ma'am."
He answered in a hoarse voice.
His voice was deep and unforgettable.
"My Mrs. Jiang."
Jiang Ci stood up.
He didn't care about the guests in the room.
They also paid no attention to the flashing camera lights.
He stretched out his long arm.
He grabbed Wen Ning by the waist and pulled her forcefully into his arms.
He cupped her cheeks with his other hand.
Lower your head.
He kissed her lips precisely and passionately.
This was a kiss without reservation.
Without any probing or coercion.
There are no cold, impersonal system tasks, and no countdown alerts with penalties for failure.
There was no gloom of worrying about gains and losses.
This moment.
They were just two people in love.
Their lips and teeth intertwined.
Jiang Ci kissed her deeply and intensely.
It was as if he wanted to make up for all the intimacy he had missed over the past three years, as if he wanted to melt her into his very soul.
Wen Ning kept her eyes closed.
She put her hands on his shoulders and responded to him warmly.
She ran her hand through his meticulously styled short hair, feeling the rapid beating of his heart in his chest.
The place where the two embraced.
Directly behind.
It's that huge oil painting—"Redemption".
In the painting, a man holds a black umbrella amidst the ruins.
Off-screen, a man embraces and kisses his light amidst the bustling city.
The painting and reality overlap perfectly at this moment.
He redeemed her from her displacement.
She redeemed him from his lonely, cold winter.
Two hearts, riddled with wounds, were finally joined together perfectly.
Nothing could separate them anymore.
After a brief period of deathly silence.
Thunderous applause erupted in the hall.
It swept through the entire art museum like a tidal wave.
"good!!!"
Jia Pengxiu shouted at the top of his lungs from below the stage, clapping his hands until they were red.
Zhang Annian stood to the side.
He clapped while adjusting his glasses.
Eyes are red.
He accompanied Jiang Ci through the most difficult three years, and no one knew better than him how hard-won this moment of fulfillment was.
in the crowd.
Sweetie covered her mouth and cried her heart out.
Looking at the radiant Wen Ning on stage, she felt as if she were watching the most beautiful fairy tale.
Su Qing stood not far away.
She didn't cry.
She held her champagne glass, watching the two embracing and kissing, a relieved smile playing on her lips.
She gently raised her wine glass and lightly clinked it against the glass in the air.
The movements were elegant and graceful.
"May your passion last forever."
The applause lasted for a long time.
The flash captured this stunning moment.
Jiang Ci slowly released Wen Ning's lips.
Their foreheads touched.
His breathing was still a little rapid, but his eyes were surprisingly bright.
He looked at the woman in front of him, her eyes reddening, yet she was smiling with unparalleled happiness.
This was his first love.
His ex-girlfriend.
His current fiancée.
It was also him, Mrs. Jiang, for all eternity to come.
