Chapter 151: Proposal
“Jiaren!” Song Meiyu stretched out her hand and waved it in front of Song Jiaren a few times. Had this child’s brain been scalded?
“Ah!” Song Jiaren, who had recovered from the shock, turned around and realized that there was no one behind her. “Am I hallucinating?” Song Jiaren felt that she had clearly seen Liu Changfeng just now. Why was no one there?
It seemed like she was really seeing things.
Just like that, the mother and daughter returned to the Song family.
The moment she returned home, she saw Ye Zhentian, who had already brought Jiang Cang home. At this moment, he was pacing back and forth around the sofa with an anxious look in his eyes.
After seeing Song Meiyu return with Song Jiaren, Ye Zhentian immediately rushed to them with Jiang Cang.
“I heard from the butler that Jiaren is injured. Are you alright now?” Song Jiaren noticed that although Mr. Ye was asking her, his eyes never left his mother, Song Meiyu. Seeing this, Song Jiaren and Jiang Cang, who were third wheels, immediately thought of an excuse to leave.
“Um, I didn’t eat lunch. I’m really hungry now!” As she spoke, Song Jiaren touched her empty stomach symbolically. Then, she looked at her brother, Jiang Cang, who was also beside her. “Are you hungry too?”
Although Jiang Cang was young, he was smart. He naturally understood such an obvious hint. After receiving the secret signal, Jiang Cang immediately covered his stomach and started his clumsy performance.
“I’m really hungry!”
“In that case, I’ll personally cook a delicious meal with you and your sister today.” As he spoke, Ye Zhentian took off his coat and prepared to walk towards the kitchen.
“Hey!” Song Jiaren was quick to react and blocked in front of Ye Zhentian. “Mr. Ye, you don’t understand children nowadays. We like to eat fries, hamburgers, and potato chips. Right, Jiang Cang?” As she spoke, she looked at Jiang Cang.
“Yes!” Jiang Cang nodded with an obedient expression.
“Is that so?” Song Meiyu wasn’t in a good mood and didn’t intend to say anything. However, when she heard Song Jiaren say that she wanted to eat unhealthy food, Song Meiyu couldn’t help but look at her eldest daughter.
“Right?” Song Jiaren’s eyes shone as she said, “Mom, let’s eat junk food just this once!” Song Jiaren revealed an aggrieved expression before walking to Jiang Cang’s side and holding his hand. “Coincidentally, there are many delicious things in my room.”
Then, before Song Meiyu could react, she pulled Jiang Cang to her room on the second floor.
At this moment, only Song Meiyu and Ye Zhentian were left in the living room on the first floor of the Jiang family. The two children had deliberately given them space. Song Meiyu and Ye Zhentian were both smart people, so how could they not tell? However, Song Meiyu was kind. Whether it was before or after, she always had a compassionate heart. This was also the reason why the Song family was targeted by a group of greedy people.
However, after experiencing so much, Song Meiyu finally understood. Humans could be kind, but they had to show this kindness to worthy people. Otherwise, when it came to some unworthy people, your kindness would become something to take advantage of. Then, they would use your kindness to do whatever they wanted until they hurt you all over.
There was no doubt that these were Song Meiyu’s experiences after living for decades.
“Meiyu!” Seeing that there was no one around, Ye Zhentian mustered his courage and slowly approached Song Meiyu. Seeing that Song Meiyu didn’t resist, he reached out and pulled her into his arms.
“I know that you’ve suffered a lot these past few days. It’s all my fault. As a man, I didn’t protect you well. It’s really my fault.” As he spoke, Song Meiyu felt her arm heat up. She lowered her head and realized that there were two tears on her arm. They were from Ye Zhentian.
He felt too much guilt towards Meiyu. He hated himself for not being able to protect the woman he loved.
“Zhengtian!” Song Meiyu looked up and grabbed Ye Zhentian’s hand. “You don’t have to feel so guilty. It happened so suddenly. I know it’s not your fault.”
“No, no, no!” Ye Zhentian shook his head. “Meiyu, after this incident, I understood something.”
When she looked up again, Song Meiyu realized that Ye Zhentian was looking at her affectionately. “What is it?” Song Meiyu didn’t know what Ye Zhentian wanted to say next.
Suddenly, Ye Zhentian knelt down on one knee. Then, he took out a box from his pocket. It was a ring box. He had bought it a long time ago.
“Huh?” Perhaps she didn’t expect Ye Zhentian to suddenly act like this, but Song Meiyu didn’t react for a moment.
“Meiyu, I like you. Will you marry me?”
“You…” Song Meiyu looked at Ye Zhentian in disbelief. “Can I take it that you’re proposing to me?”
