Stars In His Eyes

Chapter 1855: Final -

"Ye Zi, I want to marry you, not out of gratitude or obligation, but simply because you are Ye Zi, the one and only in this world. I like you. I want to marry you and entrust my incomplete self to you. I want to be a part of your life’s future. My timidity has made me miss many things and make many mistakes, but Ye Zi, I’m still not good enough. However, I will make myself braver, stronger. I want to protect you, cherish you, make you my wife, to be the woman at the center of my heart."

"Ye Zi, this is the most courageous thing I’ve done in my timid life—marry me, will you?"

Ye Zi was already sobbing uncontrollably in Lin Deng’s words.

"Is it really not out of gratitude or obligation?" Ye Zi cried tears like rain. "Lin Deng, this isn’t a dream, right? I like you. It’s not just a foolish fantasy, not liking a hopeless person, right?"

"No, it’s not at all!" Lin Deng shook his head. He wanted to raise his hand to wipe Ye Zi’s tears but realized she was standing, she was kneeling, and yet he couldn’t reach her face because his feet wouldn’t stretch flexibly enough.

"Ye Zi, if you don’t accept my proposal and take my rose soon, I might just not be able to get up if I keep kneeling like this." Lin Deng frowned, looking utterly distressed.

"Get up quickly!" Ye Zi, upon hearing this, immediately rushed to help Lin Deng up, but Lin Deng wouldn’t stand unless she nodded and accepted the flower.

"You promise to marry me first, and then I’ll get up. Otherwise, you might as well just let me keep kneeling!" Lin Deng shamelessly thickened his skin.

"I..." Ye Zi bit her lip. "I promise! Just get up already!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Deng immediately handed the rose to Ye Zi. "I’ve trimmed all the thorns on the stem so it won’t prick your hand!" he said, then stood up and pulled Ye Zi into his embrace. "You’ve agreed, so no backing out! I’ll go to your house to propose soon. Let’s get engaged first, and then get married as early as possible!"

"Will your mother agree?" Ye Zi had met Lin Deng’s mother and was well aware of her temperament. "I’ve been to prison; I’m a convict, not worthy of you."

"If there’s someone unworthy, it’s me. You went to prison because of me, you killed for me, and I’m the one who’s incomplete!" Lin Deng shook his head. "Don’t worry, I want to marry you, whatever it takes."

At this moment, Lin Deng’s mother stood not far from the two, watching them embrace without intervening. Her lips wore a smile, and her eyes were red.

Ever since Ye Zi went to prison, she had always paid attention but never visited in person. She received news promptly when Ye Zi’s sentence was reduced, and today, she purposely came to pick Ye Zi up from prison, only to witness Lin Deng proposing to Ye Zi.

As a mother, Lin Deng was her only son, her everything. Her greatest wish was for Lin Deng to be well and happy.

In a fit of anger, she might lose her composure and scold those who didn’t take good care of Lin Deng, but that didn’t mean she opposed Ye Zi and Lin Deng.

She understood that the person who would ultimately accompany Lin Deng through the rest of his life could only be his wife.

As a mother, she only worried that Lin Deng wouldn’t find a wife who truly loved him, someone who was considerate and caring.

And Ye Zi, where else could Lin Deng’s mother find another girl like Ye Zi in this world, a girl who would give up everything for Lin Deng?

Even at the cost of her reputation, her future.

Lin Deng’s mother walked up to them, facing the astonished couple. She gently patted the back of Ye Zi’s hand, lifted her hand to softly wipe the tears from Ye Zi’s face, and said, "I’m very satisfied with you as my daughter-in-law."
