Chapter 174 "I do."
When Ji Huaishen took the last bouquet of purple tulips, which symbolized eternal happiness, they happened to reach the end of the flower corridor.
A white pavilion in the center of the greenhouse.
The gazebo was beautifully decorated, with more champagne roses and green vines wrapped around the pillars.
Several transparent balloons with the word "Love" printed on them were floating on the top, and a black grand piano was placed in the center of the pavilion.
The moment the two stepped onto the steps of the pavilion, the pianist who had been waiting by the side began to play the gentle and melodious song "Perfect" slowly.
Notes jump in the air filled with floral fragrance, pushing the romantic atmosphere to its peak.
Ji Huaishen stood in the middle of the pavilion with his arms full of flowers, as if surrounded by a sea of gorgeous flowers.
The warm yellow light fell on him, softening his usually cold and hard outline. The flowers in his arms seemed to pale in comparison to the tenderness in his eyes.
Her heart was beating like a drum. She took a deep breath, took a small step forward, and looked up into his deep eyes.
"Ji Huaishen,"
Her voice was trembling slightly, but very clear:
"We were brought together by an arranged marriage. I once thought it was just a transaction and even...thought of running away."
Ji Huaishen's gaze was focused on her face. He listened quietly, and his arms holding the flowers tightened slightly.
"But I don't know when,"
Wenduo continued, her eyes softened by memories:
"I began to look forward to the sound of your footsteps coming home, and my heart began to beat uncontrollably when you approached... Maybe it was when you rushed to save me at the ballet competition without hesitation."
"Maybe it was when I was almost violated and you came as fast as a god."
"Maybe it was when there was thunder for the first time after we got married and you held me tightly in your arms... or maybe."
“Earlier.”
Her voice gradually became choked:
"You were already here before I even realized it."
She tapped her heart lightly.
"This marriage may not have had anything to do with romance,"
Wen Duo's eyes were red, but she tried her best to raise her brightest smile:
"But I'm glad it finally came to you."
"Thank you for your respect, care and tolerance. Thank you for being steadfast. No matter how hurtful my words were, you still chose to hold my hand tightly and never let go."
"Ji Huaishen,"
She finally expressed her deepest desire:
"I want to truly be the one who spends my life with you."
After saying this, she held her breath, took out the small velvet box that she had been holding for a long time and which carried her body temperature from her pocket, and slowly opened it in front of him.
Inside, a pair of simple yet exquisite silver wedding rings lay side by side, emitting a warm luster under the halo of string lights.
She looked up, looking at him seriously and nervously:
"Would you...would you like to?"
Ji Huaishen was completely stunned.
He anticipated her surprise arrangement and the process of giving the ring.
Can.
But he didn't expect it.
she.
Will tell him.
Not him to her.
He looked at her sparkling eyes filled with love and anxiety, and his chest was filled with a full happiness.
Sure enough, if you love someone, regardless of gender, you can take the initiative to take this step.
The corners of his lips couldn't help but rise up, and the smile and love in his eyes were so strong that they couldn't be dissolved.
Just when he was about to say that.
Sudden!
There was a violent and unexpected shaking under my feet!
The string lights above swayed wildly, the glass dome made a teeth-grinding creaking sound, and the pillars of the pavilion seemed to be shaking!
The expensive grand piano thumped a wrong note!
"ah--!"
The servants' terrified screams suddenly rang out in the greenhouse.
"Earthquake! Run!"
"Sir! Madam!"
Everything happened so fast!
The violent shaking made it impossible to stand steadily. The whole world was shaking wildly. The flower pots fell to the ground with a crackling sound, and the soil and petals splashed everywhere!
Wen Duo was so frightened by this sudden change that her face turned pale. She lost her balance and fell backwards, and the ring box in her hand almost fell out of her hand!
“Duoduo!”
Ji Huaishen's face changed suddenly, almost as an instinctive reaction, he threw away all the flowers in his arms, and the gorgeous flowers scattered and fell in the air.
He stretched out his long arms, and with an absolutely protective posture, he suddenly held Wen Duo tightly in his arms, with his back facing the violently shaking top of the pavilion!
Almost at the same time, accompanied by a heart-pounding cracking sound and countless fragments falling, a decorative marble component on the top of the pavilion crashed down!
"Bang--!"
With a dull thud, Ji Huaishen was hit hard on the back!
"Well......."
Ji Huaishen let out a suppressed groan, his body shook violently, but he managed to support himself on the ground with one knee, protecting Wen Duo in his arms completely, and using his body to create a small but relatively safe space for her.
Wen Duo was held tightly in his arms, her cheek pressed against his violently beating heart. The loud noise and the impact just now made her instantly understand what had happened!
"Ji Huaishen?!" She looked up in horror and wanted to see his back, but he held her head down.
"Don't move..." His voice was still calm, but with a hint of imperceptible forbearance and panting.
From outside came the butler and bodyguards shouting at the top of their lungs:
"Quick! Hurry up and rescue the gentleman and the lady! Quick!"
The chaotic sounds of footsteps and shouts came from far away.
Wen Duo burst into tears instantly:
"Ji Huaishen! How are you?!"
She struggled to get out of his arms, but he held her tighter.
"Don't be afraid...I'm fine."
He whispered soothing words, but his pale face and the cold sweat that quickly seeped out of his forehead betrayed him.
At this moment, Wen Duo felt a warm but slightly trembling big hand gently holding her hand holding the ring box.
She looked up in surprise.
Ji Huaishen lowered his head, and with difficulty but incomparable persistence, he slowly put the women's ring in the box onto the ring finger of her left hand.
The moment the cold silver ring wrapped around her finger, Wen Duo's crying stopped abruptly, leaving only disbelief and shock.
Then, he looked at her, and tried to raise the corners of his lips into a gentle arc. His voice was a little hoarse because of the pain, but it was very clear:
"I do."
Wen Duo's tears flowed even more violently, and she almost collapsed and shouted:
"Are you crazy? It's already late! You still have the slate on you! We can talk about this later! Let's get out of here first!"
"Wife..."
Ji Huaishen's voice became even softer, with a hint of pleading weakness, but extremely stubborn:
"I want to see you put the ring on my finger... before I pass out... okay?"
His consciousness was obviously becoming increasingly blurred. The muscles in his arms that supported her were tense to the extreme, trembling slightly, but still as solid as a mountain, protecting her from all dangers.
Wen Duo's heart ached beyond measure, and tears blurred her vision.
She looked at his insistent and even pleading eyes, and all the words of refusal were stuck in her throat.
Trembling and choking, she took out the men's ring from the velvet box. The ring was so cold that she could hardly hold it.
She raised her hand with difficulty, grabbed his equally trembling left hand, bit her lip, and slowly pushed the ring, which symbolized commitment and eternity, to the base of his slender finger.
Ji Huaishen lowered his eyes and looked at the rings on their hands that had finally matched successfully. He smiled lightly with satisfaction, his breath barely fading.
“It’s really beautiful…”
Then he closed his eyes and seemed to fall into a coma.
However, even in a coma, his body posture still maintained an instinctive firmness.
His back remained tense, like the most loyal guardian, supporting the last bit of living space for her.
"Ji Huaishen... Ji Huaishen! Wake up!"
Wen Duo held his face and cried heartbreakingly.
