As Gu Yibei walked up to Ji Zhinan, he stared at her intently and affectionately.
Suddenly, he knelt down on one knee—
"..." Although he had been proposed to before, Ji Zhinan's body still trembled the moment he knelt down, and an indescribable feeling spread through his heart.
Gu Yibei raised his head slightly, his eyes fixed on her.
"Although I know you don't care about these formalities, I just feel like I owe you an engagement ceremony."
"..."
He held a piece of velvet jewelry in his hand, the "pink star" inside being particularly dazzling.
This was the ring Gu Yibei proposed to her with. Because Ji Zhinan usually liked her hands to be clean, she kept the ring in the drawer of her dressing table.
I didn't expect him to take it.
Gu Yibei's thin lips curved slightly: "I used to wonder if I was working so hard to satisfy my own ambition or for something else. It wasn't until I met you that I realized: I'm striving to be a better version of myself, just to be worthy of the most perfect you."
"..."
A smile curved his lips, a smile that lingered and wouldn't fade away.
He said, "Miss Ji Zhinan, would you like to be my Mrs. Gu?"
"..."
Ji Zhinan just stared at him without saying a word for a moment.
One hasn't replied, and the other is waiting for a reply.
Their eyes met, and each of them reflected the other's image in their dark pupils.
After several seconds, Ji Zhinan suddenly laughed.
Her smile was incredibly beautiful, and her eyes were slightly red.
She spoke up, saying, "Because you are Gu Yibei."
Because you are the best person to me besides my grandfather.
Because you are the only one who loves me with all their heart.
Because you are the one who redeemed me from hell in this lifetime.
If she hadn't met Gu Yibei, Ji Zhinan would never have known what true love felt like. Reborn, her only goal might be to destroy the Ji family, annihilate the Mu family, and take revenge on everyone who had wronged her.
Once she's done everything, she'll be no different from a demon.
She herself was in hell, so she couldn't wait to drag down all those who had pushed her into hell.
Gu Yibei was her new life, a ray of sunshine in her originally dark life, and her only salvation when she was in hell.
His existence made her realize that, besides bringing those who deserved retribution to justice, she could also live a very fulfilling life in this second chance at life.
Because he is Gu Yibei.
After Ji Zhinan finished speaking, she paused for a full ten seconds before continuing, "So, I want to be your wife."
I want to be the person he cherishes most in his heart for the rest of his life.
"..."
Ji Zhinan's words startled Gu Yibei for two seconds. When he came to his senses, the man smiled and stood up to embrace her, then lowered his head to kiss her lips.
Oh~~~
I heard some teasing, followed by unstoppable applause.
Ji Zhinan turned his head and saw more and more people pouring in from not far away, all of them familiar faces.
Maureen and her husband, Lin Que, Qin Yu, Elsa, Xing Minggao and his family of three...
She doesn't know many friends; besides Xing Fei, she probably only knows Lin Que and Qin Yu, whom she met after following Gu Yibei.
He invited them all over.
In addition, there were their maids, housekeepers, and caregivers at Jiujinbo Palace in China who took care of them and witnessed their loving relationship.
Lin Que whistled, looking rather roguish, his blond hair standing out conspicuously in the crowd.
