He took a deep breath, as if using all his strength, before finally asking the most crucial question, his voice trembling slightly, "Shall we get married...?"
Guan Wenru tilted her head back, her cheeks flushed, her eyes glistening with moisture from the kiss, making them surprisingly bright.
Looking at his handsome face, filled with nervousness and anticipation, and listening to his clumsy yet incredibly sincere proposal, her heart melted and felt a surge of sweetness.
This was the moment she had waited for far too long.
Without any hesitation, a radiant smile spread across her lips. "Okay!"
The two simple words were like the most beautiful celestial music, instantly propelling He Yanzhi to the heights of happiness!
An immense joy exploded in his mind like fireworks, leaving him dizzy and almost unable to believe his ears!
She agreed!
She actually agreed!
"Wenru!" he roared excitedly, unable to control his surging emotions any longer. He lowered his head again and kissed those lips that he was so madly infatuated with!
This kiss was no longer filled with the previous tentativeness and awkwardness, but with confirmation, excitement and boundless joy.
He wanted to meld her into his very bones, never to be separated from her again.
Guan Wenru responded to him warmly, wrapping her arms around his neck and feeling his equally rapid heartbeat and burning body temperature.
The afterglow of the setting sun bathed the two figures, who were embracing tightly, in a warm golden light. The horse stood quietly in place, as if it too was blessing the lovers.
The two were so immersed in the immense happiness of finally becoming a couple that they were completely unaware that from the poplar grove not far away, a cold and venomous gaze was fixed on them.
She was Gu Siyu, the battalion commander of the 1st Battalion of the Cavalry Regiment.
She had heard that He Yanzhi often came here to ride his horse and wanted to pretend to bump into him by chance, but she never expected to witness such a heartbreaking scene!
She hid behind the tree trunk, her fingers digging into the rough bark so hard that her nails almost split.
She watched as He Yanzhi kissed the widow so passionately, and watched as the man who was usually cold and aloof to everyone held another woman tightly in his arms, revealing a passion and tenderness she had never seen before!
Gu Siyu's eyes turned bloodshot with jealousy and anger, and her chest heaved violently as if it were about to explode.
She had a crush on He Yanzhi for so long. Even though she came from a good family, was good-looking, and had a position that matched his, he never gave her a second glance!
On what grounds?!
Why should that widow with a bad family background receive all his favor and enthusiasm?!
She bit her lower lip hard, oblivious to the taste of blood.
His clenched fists were so tight that the knuckles turned white and they trembled slightly.
As she looked at the couple still embracing passionately on the hillside, her gaze grew colder and more ruthless.
A wicked thought, like a venomous snake, slowly crept up from the darkest corner of my heart...
He Yanzhi, Guan Wenru... don't even think about getting together so easily!
She gave the glaring image one last venomous glare, then abruptly turned and vanished silently into the shadows of the dense forest, as if she had never been there.
On the hillside, the setting sun sank completely below the horizon, and twilight gently descended.
He Yanzhi carefully held Guan Wenru in his arms, his chin gently resting on the top of her head.
The two rode together on a single horse, slowly making their way towards the encampment, the air thick with a silent yet intensely sweet atmosphere.
