Li Zhanting's voice was deep and resonant, like the pull of gravity, possessing an indescribable allure.
She suddenly realized that his words were like the prelude to some kind of life decision, causing her heart to beat faster and even her breathing to become sluggish.
“Li Zhanting…” Her vision became somewhat blurry, and her eyes seemed to be covered with a thin layer of mist.
However, this is only a very small part of his many arrangements.
Accompanied by footsteps behind me, some light, some steady, some cautious.
She turned her head and saw Gu Jingxing and Li Zixiao wearing black suits with eye-catching red bow ties at their collars.
Tianbao and Ling'er also changed into white tutu dresses, with elaborate petals adorning the light and flowing skirts. They carried flower baskets in their hands, and when Gu Momo looked closely, she noticed a small, pure white square box placed in the middle of the flowers.
If she wasn't mistaken, there should be a ring inside.
What she found most unbelievable was that Grandpa Rong, Grandpa Li, Grandpa Fu, her mother Rong Muhua, and her three uncles from the Rong family were all dressed in formal attire and slowly walked out of the underwater tunnel.
Behind them were Gu Wanrou, Mu Hanyan, Ye Hanjue, and Mu Tingxue, who were walking hand in hand.
Aunt Fu Yunxin, Li Zhanfeng, and Fu Ying—these are all relatives and friends who have appeared in her life, are especially important to her, and will continue to accompany her in the future. They were all invited to the event.
A happy smile spread across their faces. At the moment this carefully planned "surprise" was revealed, they seemed even more excited than Gu Momo, who had been kept in the dark.
"You... how come you're all here? Grandpa, Mom, and Uncle..." Gu Momo was so shocked she couldn't speak coherently, "Did you... did you all know about Li Zhanting's arrangements all along?"
Rong Muhua said with a smile, "Zhan Ting started planning this a long time ago."
Grandpa Li looked overjoyed that this day had finally come, and excitedly held Gu Momo's hand, "Momo, I really feel guilty towards you. It took so long for Zhan Ting to give you this grand proposal ceremony."
"Grandpa!" Li Zhanting frowned and reminded him.
Grandpa Li then realized he had let something slip and quickly covered his mouth, shaking his head. "Mo Mo, forget what I just said, forget it."
Everyone was amused by the old man's childlike antics. Rong Muhua took the old man's arm and pulled him aside, saying, "Grandpa, let the young people do it themselves. We'll just watch from the sidelines!"
"Yes, yes, Grandpa, you're making Master Ting nervous!" Mu Tingxue joked.
As they spoke, everyone quickly stepped aside, leaving the scene to the two people and the four children.
The pianist gently pressed the keys, and soft, soothing music filled the air. Gu Momo's eyes were already red, and her already affectionate eyes now looked like fragile glass. Li Zhanting walked to her side, gently wiped away the tears that were about to overflow from her eyes, and said softly, "I haven't even started yet, why is Momo crying?"
Gu Momo sniffed. "Who said I cried? It's just that the wind blew sand into my eyes."
Li Zhanting chuckled, lowered his head and took the ring from the flower basket Ling'er held up, as if accepting a precious promise. He held his hands in front of his chest and knelt on one knee.
"MoMo, before I met you, I didn't know what love was. In my calm and uneventful life, you were like a pebble falling into a lake. It seemed to sink to the bottom of the water in an instant, but you had already completely filled my heart."
“I have never been a part of your suffering, yet all your suffering is related to me. Perhaps I am slow, clumsy, and not good with words, but in every moment I have not expressed myself, I have been loving you with all my might.”
"Miss Gu Momo, would you be willing to become my wife, so that I can spend the rest of my life loving you and making it up to you?"
Gu Momo never imagined that Li Zhanting, who usually had a cold face and rarely spoke more than ten words, would one day give such a long confession.
Li Zhanting was so nervous that his palms were sweating, but he didn't dare to urge her. The four little ones next to him thought that Gu Momo didn't want to agree, and they surrounded her in a second.
"Mommy~ please say yes to Daddy!" Sweetie shook her wrist anxiously.
"Mommy, is it something Daddy did wrong? You can make him kneel on the washboard or on durians when he goes back, but please promise him first, okay?" Li Qingling pouted and tried to persuade him.
"Say yes~" Little Iceberg Li Zixiao looked aggrieved.
“Mommy, although I respect your decision, I will be sad if you don’t agree to Daddy’s request,” Gu Jingxing added.
The four boys chatted amongst themselves, as if they were the ones being proposed to.
Gu Momo smiled helplessly, grabbed Lan Shiyao who was closest to her, and gently pinched her cheek. "Who said I was going to refuse?"
The four children understood her unspoken meaning and immediately jumped up and down, cheering happily, "Wow! Mommy said yes to Daddy! Mommy said yes to Daddy's proposal!"
"Daddy! What are you standing there for! Hurry up and put the ring on Mommy's finger!" Gu Jingxing jumped up and down anxiously, urging him on.
Li Zhanting, whose mind had gone blank with joy, suddenly realized, "Oh right! I haven't put the ring on my wife's finger yet! I've even forgotten the most important step."
He took a deep breath and nervously took the engagement ring out of the velvet box. He looked flustered and anxious throughout the process, as if his fingers wouldn't obey him.
He used to think that nothing was difficult for him.
But after meeting Gu Momo, it seemed to overturn all his self-perception.
He was always worried that he wouldn't do a good job, and that he wouldn't make Momo feel happy and warm.
He swore that this was probably the most nerve-wracking moment of his life.
Li Zhanting solemnly slipped the ring onto Gu Momo's slender, fair ring finger. The size of the ring was just right, neither too big nor too small.
Generally speaking, ordinary people use diamond rings to propose, but Li Zhanting chose a plain ring. There was no extravagant style, nor a diamond the size of a pigeon egg. The simple ring band was particularly unique.
