Immediately, Ye Mohan's deep and magnetic voice rang in her ear.

"Xue'er, close your eyes."

“Mm,” Jian Yixue said.

"Xue'er, you're not allowed to peek."

Jian Yixue couldn't help but laugh and said, "Okay, I won't peek."

Having received a response, Ye Mohan slowly released his grip.

Jian Yixue did not open her eyes, but thinking about what happened today, she had some vague guesses.

Not long after, Jian Yixue heard Ye Mohan's voice.

"Xue'er, you can open your eyes now."

Immediately, Jian Yixue opened her eyes and saw Ye Mohan kneeling in front of her on one knee. In his hand he was holding a large bouquet of red roses, and in his other hand he was holding the pink diamond ring that he had bought in the United States.

Ye Mohan gazed at Jian Yixue with deep affection, "Xue'er, marry me."

"I want you to spend the rest of my life with me."

"No matter what the future holds, I will always be your support, Jian Yixue."

Jian Yixue had no idea that Ye Mohan would say so many touching love words.

Meanwhile, Ye Ling'er and Nangong Ci, who appeared out of nowhere, stood aside and spoke up for Ye Mohan.

Nangong Ci: "Marry him, he's a good man."

Ye Ling'er said, "Sister-in-law, marry my brother! My brother is good at making money and is very virtuous. You are the only girl who has appeared in his life. You will definitely be very happy."

At that moment, the restaurant staff also stood up and shouted, "Marry him! Marry him!"

At this moment, Jian Yixue was so moved that she almost cried, her eyes were moist, and she nodded excitedly.

Ye Mohan smiled knowingly, his face full of happiness.

He then handed the flowers to Jian Yixue, and then took out the diamond ring and put it on Jian Yixue's middle finger.

It's the middle finger, not the ring finger.

Then she heard Ye Mohan say, "At the wedding, I will personally put this diamond ring on your ring finger."

What other women have, his woman must also have.

And they have more than others.

He would never let his woman envy other women.

Ye Mohan embraced Jian Yixue, the smile on his lips lingering for a long time.

After the proposal ended, the staff dispersed.

Only Jian Yixue, Nangong Ci, and Ye Ling'er remained present.

Seeing how clingy Nangong Ci and Nangong Ci were, Ye Mohan grew increasingly displeased with Nangong Ci.

Suddenly, he raised an eyebrow. "Third brother, I remember there's a big deal in Europe. Why don't you go and oversee it yourself?"

Upon hearing this, Nangong Ci couldn't help but feel a headache coming on.

He went to such lengths to offer advice and suggestions, so why did his brother-in-law still have a problem with him in the end?

Before Nangong Ci could answer, Ye Ling'er spoke first, "Europe? You're going?"

Just as Nangong Ci was about to say that he wouldn't go, he heard Ye Ling'er's words.

“If you’re going, I’ll go back with you. I still have my graduation thesis to prepare, so I need to go there for a while longer.”

Upon hearing this, Ye Mohan's face immediately darkened.

How could he have forgotten this?

Just as he was about to take back his words, Nangong Ci had a sudden thought, "Go."

Why not go?

I went to Europe, far from the reach of the emperor.

Why stay here and get tortured?

Ye Ling'er was immediately delighted, "When are you leaving? Remember to book a ticket for me too."

“Anytime is fine,” Nangong Ci said with a smile.

Ye Mohan's face, however, was frighteningly dark.

Jian Yixue, watching from the side, immediately realized something was wrong.

She quickly tugged at Ye Mohan's sleeve, "Mohan, you seem a little tired. Let's go back."

Upon hearing this, Ye Mohan no longer cared about picking a fight with Nangong Ci.

He turned to look at Jian Yixue and said, "Okay, let's go back."

He then glanced at Nangong Ci and said, "Send my sister back to my grandfather's."

"Mm." Nangong Ci nodded.

There's plenty of time when we go to Europe later, so there's no need to rush.

Just as Ye Ling'er was about to step forward, Nangong Ci grabbed her arm.

"With your brother around, he'll take good care of your sister-in-law."

Nangong Ci looked at Ye Mohan, who had been sent away, and felt grateful to Jian Yixue.

He then looked at Ye Ling'er and said, "Let's go, I'll take you back."

Upon hearing this, Ye Ling'er immediately pouted, "Can I not go back?"

"No." He then pulled Ye Ling'er away.

...

Island, Canyon Research Institute.

Gong Beize was talking to the woman on the hospital bed as usual, telling her about interesting things happening outside.

He has done this only when he is on the island for so many years.

Even when he wasn't on the island, he would talk to her over the phone.

"Lan'er, it's been fifteen years, I miss you so much."

"Why did you leave without saying goodbye, marry someone else, and even have a child with him? Do you hate me so much that you're trying to punish me in various ways?"

"Do you know how scared I was when I heard the news that something had happened to you?"

"I'm afraid I'll never see you again. That's much harder than knowing you married someone else and had children with someone else."

"You don't know, but after you married that man, I secretly went to see you. When I saw you in the courtyard, pregnant and overflowing with maternal love, I thought, if we had more trust in each other, would you have appeared by my side to accompany me and bear my children?"

"I didn't dare to go to you. I was afraid that if I saw your eyes, which were once full of love for me, they would turn into hatred. Am I a coward?"

"I've always been a coward when it comes to you."

"Lan'er, things didn't turn out the way you think. I'll explain it to you when you wake up, okay?"

For some reason, he just wanted to tell her what was on his mind today.

These were the pent-up feelings of longing that had been building up in his heart for fifteen years.

"Please give me a chance. If you miss your daughter, I will bring her to live with me and treat her as my own. I just beg you not to leave me again."

Suddenly, Gong Beize noticed that the hand he was holding tightened, and then he looked at the person on the bed and noticed that her eyelids were also moving incessantly.

He was overjoyed. "Lan'er, you heard me, didn't you?"

He had heard Dr. Liao mention it before.

Lan'er, who is currently asleep, can sense external stimuli, which is why he has been talking to her day and night for so many years.

Especially now, as she nears full consciousness, she is becoming increasingly aware of everything around her.

Suddenly, he thought of something and continued, "Lan'er, as long as you wake up, I'll take you to find your daughter, okay?"

It hurt him to say those words, but he didn't care. As long as Lan'er could wake up, he was truly determined to force himself to accept his rival's daughter.

After all, they were Lan'er's own flesh and blood.

Their hands were clenched tightly, and they were blinking more and more frequently.

"Lan'er, wake up quickly. I'll do whatever you say if you wake up."

Gong Beize spoke a lot, but the woman did not open her eyes.
