Chapter 1162: Chapter 1162: Proposal!
Mu Yan was aware that this person had long harbored feelings toward her, but hearing it said aloud still made her somewhat uncomfortable.
She asked, "Why did you put this painting out here?"
Jiang Jingheng suddenly took her hand and walked to the center of the flower bed, saying, "Originally, I wanted to wait until the sunflowers were in full bloom later this year, at the place where we first met, to propose to you. But now it’s a long wait until then, and today is our wedding anniversary. If I don’t propose now, you’ll surely complain that I’m unromantic."
Mu Yan felt dizzy, her mind filled with the words "proposal." Everything happened too suddenly; she wasn’t prepared at all.
However, looking at the man in front of her, she felt she didn’t need to prepare anything, as if just standing there was enough.
Still, she retorted, "I’m not complaining, you’ve always been unromantic. We’ve been married for so long, and you haven’t bought me a ring. Be honest, are you trying to fool a naive girl like me?"
"Fooling you cost me everything; how could I possibly fool anyone else?" Jiang Jingheng chuckled softly, pulling out a small pink box from a bouquet of flowers, then kneeling on one knee.
As the box opened, a large pink diamond ring appeared before her eyes.
He looked at her, and his light brown eyes seemed to reflect starlight, dazzlingly bright, "Dear Miss Mu Yan, from the first moment I saw you, resembling a sunflower radiant and full of life, at that moment, my world comprised only you, with no other scenery in sight. Six years have passed, separated by distance, and my feelings for you have not faded but grown more intense with time. Although we’ve been apart, your image is etched deep in my heart, captivating my soul. Love is so mysterious; just one glance told me you were destined to be my woman. My greatest wish is to marry you, love you for life. Now, are you willing to help me fulfill this humble desire?"
Mu Yan didn’t understand the feeling of unrequited love for one person for six years. If someone else confessed to her this way, she’d likely think they were lying or insane.
But if it were him, she was willing to believe.
She always knew that in their relationship, he was the proactive one, accommodating and tolerant, expecting nothing in return, sometimes making her feel guilty.
He presented her with the most perfect love in the world, and she knew she couldn’t escape it for the rest of her life.
No one else loved her quite like he did.
Her eyes felt a bit sore, and she pouted, complaining, "We’re an old married couple now, why be so cheesy? Why are you just standing there, put it on me. You wouldn’t take it out just to fool me, right?"
While speaking, her hand was already extended.
Seeing her pretending to be willful, Jiang Jingheng chuckled lightly, sliding the ring onto her finger, before standing up.
He embraced her, quietly asking, "Proposing at home, do you find it too plain?"
Mu Yan glared at him, "You’ve caused enough fuss today, don’t trouble me anymore. Besides, I don’t want people to know it took you this long after getting married to propose."
"Yes, it’s my fault." Jiang Jingheng chuckled softly, pecking her lips then deepening the kiss.
Mu Yan hugged him, allowing him to kiss her.
The lights in the living room flickered, and soon clothes were scattered everywhere, even the nearby sunflowers lay strewn about.
Mu Yan realized what was about to happen, and gave him a gentle push, "Let’s go to the bedroom."
Jiang Jingheng was unwilling to oblige, biting her neck, his voice rough and tempting, "The first time I saw you, I wanted to pin you down among the sunflowers and do as I pleased."
Mu Yan, "..."
This guy’s a beast, she was only sixteen back then!
