Chapter 855: Contentment
Ji Chuan put his hands on the steering wheel, his eyes covered with worry, and he said, "I want to marry you soon."
Xu Hui's heart sank, and he couldn't help but wonder if this counted as a proposal.
Although it was not as grand as the proposal ceremony just now, just such a simple sentence, spoken from his mouth, was enough to touch her heartstrings.
She was silent for a moment, then asked with a half-smile, "Are you proposing to me?"
She turned her head to look at him, a bright light flashing in her eyes. The smile made him unable to tell whether it was more of a playful or expectant meaning.
Ji Chuan's heart suddenly felt tight for no reason. He turned around and said softly, "It's just a casual remark. It doesn't count."
Just now, when Liang Zhouheng was playing the violin and walking towards Song Cun, Song Cun cried, Jiang Yuan also cried, and Ji Chuan noticed that Xu Hui's eyes were also wet. I'm afraid that all the girls present were deeply moved by this solemn ceremony.
After all, Xu Hui was just an ordinary girl in her mid-twenties. Even though she had so many extraordinary experiences and even though she usually acted like a big sister, what girl wouldn't yearn for a romantic proposal? And wouldn't she long for the approval of her future in-laws?
Xu Hui usually doesn't care, but today Xie Wanqing took Song Cun's hand affectionately in front of everyone. Even if she is a rough person, it is impossible for her not to be touched.
She didn't even get the most basic respect from his mother.
Xu Hui glanced at him and saw that his expression was becoming increasingly gloomy. She felt upset and knew that he was exhausted from dealing with the dilemma between her and his mother.
She rolled down the car window, letting the wind in. Her suppressed emotions seemed to ease a lot. She suddenly relaxed, "Actually, you should know me. I don't really care about these formalities. In fact, marriage is nothing more than a formality. As long as two people are together, what does it matter whether they have the red certificate or not?"
After she finished speaking, she turned her head and glanced at him again. Seeing that he was still sullen and silent, she added, "My situation is different from Jiang Yuan, Song Cun, and the others. I'm not ashamed of myself, nor do I feel inferior, but I have to admit the objective facts. With what I've experienced, even ordinary parents in ordinary families would find it difficult to swallow their anger, let alone my aunt. To be honest, I never dared to dream that I would be in this situation today. I've always wanted to find an opportunity to burn some incense and pay my respects to the Buddha."
She winked at him frankly and said, "I'm serious."
Ji Chuan glanced at her indifferently, then turned his gaze away.
Xu Hui's tone became anxious. "I'm not kidding. Sometimes I even wonder if my good fortune has something to do with the girl I saved a few years ago. Saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda. You must be God's gift to me, my reward for my kindness. They say greed is insatiable, but I wouldn't dare to ask for more. I'm truly content now."
Ji Chuan finally couldn't bear it anymore this time. The fluctuations in his heart were reflected on his face. He turned his head, looked at her with deep eyes, and said in a difficult voice: "Stop talking."
Xu Hui nodded obediently: "Okay, I'm done."
