Chapter 803: Because of You, I Look Forward to Marriage (3)
Mu Ke’s fingers trembled slightly. You know, he is a doctor, a surgeon, whose hands are usually so steady, but now Mu Ke’s hands were trembling continuously.
The ring still carried a bit of warmth. Thinking of how it was just spat out, Jiayu suddenly laughed, and tears streamed down her face: "I’ve seen this kind of proposal on TV. At that time, I thought it was very romantic, but now that it’s really happening to me, I realize it has flaws; spitting out a ring is such a killjoy."
Mu Ke had already placed the ring on her finger and pulled her to stand up. His brow furrowed: "Yes, sorry, it was my oversight."
Jiayu laughed again, her smile as bright as the March sun, yet tears kept flowing.
No words could describe her feelings at this moment. She had never imagined that after leaving Xin Ke, she would marry another man.
She also never imagined that she would one day be rescued from an abyss by a man who would pamper her into a princess.
Mu Ke held her hand and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, where both of them looked up at the fireworks that were still bursting in the sky.
The proposal only took an instant, but her feelings hadn’t calmed down for a long time.
After a long while, Jiayu finally spoke: "When did you prepare this?"
"I prepared a long time ago."
Mu Ke replied honestly, pausing to add, "But today’s proposal was only decided as I was rushing back, so the preparations were a bit hasty, don’t mind it."
Mind?
Of course, she wouldn’t mind.
Jiayu gently touched the newly added ring on her hand, her smile growing more radiant: "Did you learn this method online?"
"Yes, I had no experience, so I learned it."
"Others usually have long speeches when proposing. Why didn’t you learn that part?"
This made Mu Ke’s body stiffen for a moment. He was embracing Jiayu from behind, her back against his chest, so she could clearly feel his body tense.
Jiayu thought he misunderstood that she wanted that too, and was about to explain she was just joking, when she suddenly felt her shoulders being held, her body turned 180 degrees.
She met a pair of deep, earnest eyes, as dark as ink and as bright as stars.
"Actually, I drafted many speeches on the plane, but just now, I forgot them all."
Mu Ke had wrapped the ring in a dumpling, and when it was cooked, he didn’t know which one it was in. So, as Jiayu ate each one, his nerves were extremely tense, especially when she didn’t want to eat after the fifth one, Mu Ke got even more anxious.
So when Jiayu finally spat the ring out, Mu Ke had already forgotten all the words he prepared beforehand.
Only the most direct words remained.
Listening to his explanation, Jiayu’s smile didn’t change, and just as she was about to speak, Mu Ke’s voice came again.
"I have never had a crush on anyone, only you. I never thought about spending my life with anyone, only you. Because of you, I look forward to marriage."
The fireworks in the sky were dazzling, but they couldn’t outshine the brilliance in Mu Ke’s eyes at the moment. The cold wind howled outside, but Jiayu’s heart was warm and cozy.
This New Year’s Eve was the best she had ever had.
Jiayu was so grateful she didn’t fall back into her old ways, so grateful she truly no longer loved the man who once left her bruised and battered.
Tonight, she didn’t care about the world; she only cared about the person in front of her.
