Chapter 1087 The Big Bad Wolf Deceives the Little Rabbit

"The mistress is so unreliable."

Xia Xun stood to the side, his face dark with anger: "Thank goodness Jianjian is alright, otherwise how am I supposed to explain this to Pei Shu?"

"The surprise turned into a shock."

Qu Qingli twitched the corners of her mouth, both amused and exasperated: "Don't even mention Jianjian, we were scared half to death too."

"He even proposed."

Xia Xun grew angrier as she spoke, and said unhappily, "If I were Jian Jian, I would definitely slap him."

"Mom, please don't be angry." Bai Luoshuang stepped forward and gently comforted her, "The doctor checked her and Jianjian is fine."

"It's so late, it's not good for everyone to be blocking the hospital entrance. Wuwu and the others still have their children with them."

"Um."

Pei Jinwu slightly raised her head and looked at Shang Shiyan, who was holding the child: "We're leaving now."

My aunt and Song Mingji can take care of things here.

soon.

The people at the door gradually dispersed.

Song Mingji sat by Wen Jianjian's bedside, holding her hand, his eyes filled with heartache.

"Mingji, you should go and rest too." Pei Shu returned after fetching hot water and said gently, "Leave Jianjian here to me."

"No need, Auntie."

Song Mingji shook his head, his voice hoarse: "I'll stay here with her and wait for her to wake up."

"You..."

"Auntie, I'm so sorry." Song Mingji apologized with remorse, "I just wanted to give Jianjian a surprise, I didn't expect it to turn out like this."

"Auntie knows." Pei Shu didn't blame him and sighed softly, "Alright, then you stay here with her. Call me if anything happens."

"good."

Song Mingji withdrew his gaze and continued to stare intently at Wen Jianjian.

——

Morning.

Wen Jianjian finally woke up and saw Song Mingji's head as soon as she opened her eyes.

He lay down beside his own hand and fell into a deep sleep.

Where is this?

Wen Jianjian glanced around, trying hard to recall what had happened last night.

To propose to her, Song Mingji staged a "falling from a building" surprise.

Then……

She was so frightened she fainted.

Wen Jianjian didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and gently stroked the man's hair with her fingers: "Song Mingji."

"Simple."

Song Mingji woke up instantly and leaned over to ask with concern, "How are you? Is there anything else that's bothering you?"

"No."

Wen Jianjian shook her head and said in a hoarse voice, "I want to drink water."

"good."

Song Mingji immediately brought over warm water and thoughtfully inserted a straw: "Drink slowly, no rush."

"Um."

As she drank, Wen Jianjian's eyes suddenly reddened, and large tears fell down her cheeks.

"What's wrong? What happened?" Seeing the tears on Wen Jianjian's face, Song Mingji panicked instantly: "Does it hurt somewhere? I'll go call the doctor!"

Just as Song Mingji was about to leave, Wen Jianjian suddenly hugged him tightly.

She buried her face in his chest and sobbed softly, "I'm scared."

"What?"

Song Mingji remained stiff, letting her hug him.

"I was afraid you would really fall." Wen Jianjian cried, her face covered in tears, and said tremblingly, "I was afraid something would really happen to you, afraid I would never see you again."

“My father also left suddenly, and I’m afraid you might end up like him…”

"They all say I'm a jinx, and that anyone who loves me will be unlucky."

"I……"

"Stop talking." Song Mingji's heart clenched as he listened, and he hugged her tightly: "You're not a jinx, you're my lucky star."

"I'll be fine too, and I'll always be by your side."

"Um."

Wen Jianjian nodded, sniffling.

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have proposed this way."

Hearing her heartbroken cries, Song Mingji felt like slapping himself twice.

"Don't cry."

Song Mingji placed Wen Jianjian on the bed, kissed away her tears, and asked softly, "Are you hungry? I'll get you something to eat."

"Don't go."

Seeing that he was about to leave, Wen Jianjian hugged him: "Don't you have anything to ask me?"

"What did you say?"

Confused, Song Mingji blurted out without thinking, "What do you want to eat?"

"..."

Wen Jianjian was truly speechless at his thought process.

Is this the time to agonize over what to eat?

"What you asked me last night." Wen Jianjian stared into his eyes, her red lips moving slightly.

last night?

Song Mingji realized what was happening, his body stiffened on the spot, and his eyes became serious.

After all this trouble, he was afraid that if he asked, he wouldn't get the answer he wanted.

"..."

Wen Jianjian remained silent, just staring straight at him.

"I……"

Song Mingji parted his thin lips, his throat dry and his heart pounding with anxiety: "Jianjian, I've always known I'm not a very good person."

"Meeting you is a blessing from God."

"In the days to come, I will definitely cherish you, love you, and protect you. I will promote your strengths, correct my weaknesses, and be a qualified husband."

"If I ever wrong you, go borrow a gun from Wuwu and shoot me dead."

"puff--"

Hearing his unserious confession, Wen Jianjian couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Seeing that she finally smiled, Song Mingji became a little bolder.

He held Wen Jianjian's hand, his expression serious: "Will you marry me, Jianjian?"

"..."

Wen Jianjian met his gaze, remained silent for a few seconds, and then her red lips parted slightly: "What if I don't agree?"

“Then I’ll ask again next time.” Song Mingji was prepared to be rejected. “I’ll keep asking until you agree to marry me.”

"So much perseverance?"

Wen Jianjian hooked her arm around his neck and smiled, "Since I'm destined to marry you, what difference does it make whether it's sooner or later?"

so……

Early? Or late?

"Should I extend my left hand or my right hand now?"

A blush crept onto Wen Jianjian's face as she asked in a low voice.

"hand?"

Song Mingji was stunned for a few seconds, then reacted, grabbed Wen Jianjian's left hand, and said excitedly, "The wedding ring should be worn on the left hand."

Then he took out the ring he had prepared for three years from the drawer and carefully put it on the girl's ring finger.

So, will you marry me?

"Um."

Wen Jianjian nodded slightly, her face full of happiness: "I'm willing."

"ah--"

Song Mingji excitedly picked up Wen Jianjian and spun her around: "You really accepted my proposal! Quick, pinch my cheeks and see if I'm dreaming."

Wen Jianjian obediently placed her hand on it, but couldn't bear to pinch it. Instead, she gently stroked it and said, "I'm not dreaming. I really agree to marry you."

"How about we pick an auspicious day to get our marriage certificate?"

Song Mingji struck while the iron was hot, "then proposed marriage, exchanged betrothal gifts, and set a date for the wedding."

"So urgent?"

Wen Jianjian was taken aback by his process; it was too fast.

No rush.

Song Mingji held her hand and grinned, "You go about your business, I'll take care of all this, okay?"

"But……"

"But what?" Song Mingji frowned, like a big bad wolf coaxing an innocent little rabbit, "Both families agree, there are no obstacles to the marriage, right?"

Wen Jianjian nodded, "That's how it is."

"Since we're going to get married sooner or later, let's get married sooner rather than later."

Song Mingji continued to coax, "Once we've accomplished this major life event, we can focus on our own things, right?"

Wen Jianjian nodded: "Yes!"
