Chapter 388

Ji Wanmei was of course willing.

She covered her lips, choked with emotion, and tears welled up in her eyes before she could even react.

"When did you buy this ring?" Ji Wanmei said, both reproachful and coquettish. "You didn't even let me know."

Lei Tingjun looked up at her with a smile, and said in a low, hoarse voice, "The day after you called me and asked me to come to your house for dinner, I went and bought a ring."

"Meimei, I've been waiting for this day for so long. I love you, and all I want to do for the rest of my life is be with you, build our own home together, and give you happiness. No matter what the future holds, I want to be by your side, and I want you to be by my side too. Will you marry me?"

"Okay." Ji Wanmei smiled through her tears, looking at him with tears still streaming down her face. She stretched out her long, slender fingers and offered them to him: "Put them on for me."

Lei Tingjun suppressed the surging excitement and trembling in his heart caused by her "okay," and gently took her fingertip, placing the ring on her ring finger.

When Lei Tingjun was putting the ring on her finger, his movements were even trembling slightly.

Lei Tingjun himself couldn't describe that feeling. It was as if a bell was being struck forcefully in the place closest to his heart, and the shock spread throughout his body.

At this moment, Lei Tingjun truly felt happiness; holding her hand was like holding his own future happiness.

The crystal-clear diamond ring, worn on Ji Wanmei's beautiful fingers, made her skin appear even more like jade, as smooth and delicate as creamy mutton fat, and even her neatly trimmed nails looked beautiful.

Lei Tingjun couldn't help but lower his head and kiss her fingertips, then down, and then lovingly kissed the back of her hand.

Ji Wanmei pulled him up, preventing him from kneeling.

Lei Tingjun embraced Ji Wanmei, and Ji Wanmei wrapped her arms around his neck. At this moment, their hearts were intertwined, just like their embrace.

Amidst the gentle breeze and verdant mountains, embraced by nature's peaks, and with heaven and earth as their witness, they shared a passionate and unrestrained kiss.

He only released Ji Wanmei when she was breathless from his kisses, her eyes glazed over, and her cheeks flushed.

"Just thinking about how you'll be my wife makes my heart race." Lei Tingjun took Ji Wanmei's hand and placed it on his chest. "Listen, you'll be living here with me."

Ji Wanmei poked his chest with the hand wearing the ring, and then pinched it twice.

"Aren't you ashamed to say such cheesy lovey-dovey things in front of your parents?"

Lei Tingjun hugged her and shook his head: "Don't be afraid. Let them know that their son has found someone he likes. Let them meet their daughter-in-law. They'll be overjoyed."

"Let go of me first, I'll go offer incense to your parents," Ji Wanmei said.

She picked up a few incense sticks, lit them, walked to Lei Tingjun's parents' graves, knelt down, and kowtowed three times earnestly.

Then she held the incense sticks in both hands, closed her eyes, and silently prayed for a while before inserting the incense sticks into the ground in front of the grave.

As they walked down the mountain, Lei Tingjun asked her, "What were you thinking about when you closed your eyes in front of my parents' graves just now?"

Ji Wanmei let him lead her by the hand down the mountain, skipping happily like a cheerful little girl, and laughed: "This is a secret I told my uncle and aunt, I won't tell you."

What was Ji Wanmei thinking to herself?

She told Lei Tingjun's deceased parents that Lei Tingjun had a lonely childhood, and asked them to rest assured that she would make him happy in the future, and that she would make up for the missing parts of his past life, his childhood.

By the time they had wandered around the mountain again and returned to the village at the foot of the mountain, it was almost dark.

Hongyun Mountain is so big that it would take them a day or two to explore it all on foot.

However, Lei Tingjun grew up in the mountains and knew exactly what was there.

The plan to contract the tourism development of Dashan still needs to be discussed and planned carefully, and there is no rush. So, that evening, Lei Tingjun said goodbye to Li Erbo and the other villagers, and drove Ji Wanmei back to Pingdong.

It takes almost an hour to drive from Xiahe Village to Honghe Township because the road is difficult to travel, which slows down the journey.

When we drove back to Pingdong City from Honghe Township, it was already past 11 p.m., almost midnight.

At first, Ji Wanmei was able to talk to Lei Tingjun in the car, but in the latter half of the journey, she couldn't stay awake any longer and fell asleep in the passenger seat.

The night sky is dotted with stars, and even the bustling city has fallen into the deep of night.

When Lei Tingjun parked his car downstairs at the office building, he looked back and saw that Ji Wanmei was fast asleep.

Without waking her, he unbuckled his seatbelt, got out of the car, walked to the passenger side, and gently carried Ji Wanmei out in his arms.

When Ji Wanmei was pulled into Lei Tingjun's arms, she curled up for a moment, found a comfortable position in his arms, and snuggled against him.

Looking at her completely trusting him, her lips pouting as she fell asleep, her curled eyelashes like two small fans, Lei Tingjun felt his heart melt.

He didn't want to wake her at all.

Lei Tingjun's residence was on the third floor, and he carried the sleeping Ji Wanmei up to the third floor.

Because they haven't moved to their new home yet, Lei Tingjun is still temporarily living in a single room in the company's office building on the third floor.

However, since the dormitories on this floor were prepared for him and A-Qiang and other big bosses, each room was fully equipped with a bathroom, clothes drying balcony, and so on. The large open-plan rooms of about 30 square meters were quite spacious.
