"Dad, believe me, in the future, the person who harmed you will spend the rest of his life in loneliness, desolation, and obscurity."
*
In the stillness of the night, Xue Qiandai, exhausted, washed up and prepared to rest.
Suddenly, she saw Huo Meiren approaching with a box in his hand. To her surprise, he presented her with his gift.
"Dai Dai, happy birthday. May you be happy every day of your life, filled with love, anticipation, and my companionship." His eyes held a fleeting glimpse of beauty, yet were overflowing with tenderness.
At today's party, Xue Qiandai didn't receive a gift from the beauty, so she knew he planned to give it to her privately.
She smiled gently, full of anticipation, "What is it?"
"Open it and take a look."
Xue Qiandai did as she was told and gently opened it. In an instant, her heart burst forth from her chest, filled with sweet joy and other emotions.
It was a custom-made necklace, its structure intimately familiar to her. It was Sotheby's New Year's Day closing lot, a diamond necklace inspired by a gaze that seemed to have traversed half a lifetime of starlight, a symbol of love. However, it was a smaller version of the original. But one could imagine its hefty price tag.
Huo Yunchao knelt on one knee, placed his hand on his left chest, and asked, "Dai Dai, will you marry me?"
"I love you. I love your expressive eyes and the rosy lips you wear, I love your freckled makeup, I love your passionate and bold way of calling me 'beauty,' I love the unrestrained joy in every brilliant idea you come up with, I love your unwavering presence when I'm asleep, I love being with you all day long, and I love smelling your fragrance all the time. I hope that the first thing I see when I open my eyes every day is you, and I hope that the last person to say goodnight to me every night is you."
"I love you, I love every single one of you, your strengths and your weaknesses, I accept you completely. If you realize that you are going to spend the rest of your life with someone, you will want that time to pass as soon as possible."
"Dai Dai, are you willing?"
Xue Qiandai's lips trembled, her breathing erratic. She tossed her long hair back, revealing her swan-like neck. "Could you help me put it on?"
Huo Yunchao held the necklace, walked behind her, and helped her put it on. The largest blue diamond hung at an angle right over her heart.
Her fingers traced the sparkling diamonds, which held the essence of his burning love.
"My love, I do. I am willing to keep this love and travel with you to the next mountain and sea."
She tiptoed, closed her eyes, and offered her luscious lips.
Huo Yunchao lowered his head, their perfect height difference causing him to land just in time. A long, sweet kiss ensued.
“My beauty, you once said you wanted my father’s blessing, and I am willing to marry you anytime.” Xue Qiandai’s eyes sparkled, bathed in a moonlight that made them even more dazzling. “But I think the wedding should be held when my father returns.”
Huo Yunchao agreed. He picked her up and placed her on the soft bed. "Goodnight, Dai Dai, happy birthday, my darling."
