Young people often say that beautiful love should start with a bouquet of flowers, and although they were no longer young, Mu Baicheng didn’t want Lin Guixiang to envy anyone.
The kind of love young people have, Mu Baicheng hoped Lin Guixiang could have too.
To love someone is to wish to bring the best of everything to her.
Looking at Mu Baicheng kneeling on the ground, Lin Guixiang was stunned, her eyes wide open.
She had not expected Mu Baicheng to propose so formally.
She thought love for middle-aged people was simply about naturally coming together when the time was right.
Many passersby saw this scene, all stopped in their tracks, looking over here.
"So romantic!"
"The sister is really pretty."
"That uncle is quite handsome too!"
"Sister, say yes to him, say yes to him."
People nearby immediately started to tease.
Lin Guixiang’s face turned bright red in an instant.
Mu Baicheng remained on one knee, "Will you agree to walk the rest of life’s journey with me?"
Lin Guixiang walked slowly over to Mu Baicheng, reaching out to take the flowers, "Yes."
Mu Baicheng was overjoyed, not quite knowing what to do next.
The young spectators continued, "Give him a hug, uncle."
"Right, right, give him a hug."
Among the cheering crowd, Mu Baicheng half pushed and half pulled Lin Guixiang into his arms.
In that moment, both of them could feel each other’s heartbeat.
Two hearts clung tightly together.
After a good while, Mu Baicheng let go of Lin Guixiang, holding her hand, "Ah Xiang, thank you."
"Thank me for what?" Lin Guixiang looked at Mu Baicheng.
"Thank you for giving me this opportunity," Mu Baicheng continued, "From now on, I will treat you twice as well."
"Actually, the person who really made me let down all my guards and accept you was my daughter," Lin Guixiang followed up.
Mu Baicheng nodded, "I could actually feel it."
After all, ever since he had met Lin Wu yesterday, Lin Guixiang had changed a lot.
"Ah Xiang, your daughter is truly outstanding," Mu Baicheng continued.
Lin Guixiang smiled, "Xiao Wu is the most important person in the world to me."
"What about me?" asked Mu Baicheng.
Lin Guixiang replied, "You rank as the fourth most important."
"Fourth? Why fourth?" Mu Baicheng could understand if he was second since Lin Wu was Lin Guixiang’s biological daughter,
And they had eighteen years of affection between them,
while they had known each other for only a few months.
So who were the other two people ranked before him?
Mu Baicheng was curious.
Lin Guixiang continued, "Ranked second is my younger brother, and third is his wife."
Upon finishing, Lin Guixiang added, "Let me tell you about my past. When I was a teenager, my parents passed away..."
Lin Guixiang started to talk about the dusty past.
Learning that Lin Guixiang had raised her younger brother and sister alone, Mu Baicheng felt both heartache and admiration, "Ah Xiang, you are an incredible sister."
Lin Guixiang smiled, "It’s nothing extraordinary, I just took on the responsibilities I should have."
Mu Baicheng squeezed Lin Guixiang’s hand tighter, "From now on you have me, and I will shield you from all the storms."
"Mm," Lin Guixiang nodded slightly.
After a while, Mu Baicheng continued, "Ah Xiang, if it’s okay, could you tell me the story between you and Xiao Wu’s father?"
As soon as the words left his mouth, worried that Lin Guixiang might misunderstand, Mu Baicheng quickly explained, "I don’t mean anything by it, I’m just a bit curious why you got divorced?"
