Chapter 307 Let me be your family, let me take care of you
On the platform in the middle of the lake, there is a huge glass house.
As the sun sets, the orange sunlight shines on the glass house, reflecting a shimmering, translucent glow.
As they drew closer, the glass house became increasingly clear.
There was something else in the house, but she couldn't see it now.
Their small boat was moored on one side of the shore.
Huo Yanmo got ashore first, then reached out to help her.
Shi Nian took advantage of the situation.
"Niannian, close your eyes," Huo Yanmo said with a smile beside him.
Shi Nian nodded and closed her eyes.
He held her hand the whole time.
I took her hand and walked forward.
After a short while, his voice came: "Stop for a moment."
Then came the sound of a door being opened.
Huo Yanmo led her inside.
"You can open your eyes now," Huo Yanmo's voice came.
As Huo Yanmo's victory announcement faded, Shi Nian slowly opened her eyes.
At first it wasn't clear, but then she could see it clearly.
They are now inside that huge glass house they just saw.
At this moment, the house is filled with flowers.
Roses, lilies, bellflowers...
Countless varieties, vying for beauty, bright and lovely.
Looking into the distance, the sky is ablaze with the colors of the setting sun, and the glass house is set against an endless lake, its surface shimmering in the gentle breeze.
The various colors and types of flowers are even more dazzlingly beautiful under the reflection of these glass panes.
And among these piled-up flowers, there is a shelf.
Shi Nian slowly approached.
Then she saw it; it was Huo Yanmo's latest painting, a portrait of her.
It was on the concert stage, where all the flame paintings and blue butterflies were dancing. She stood on the stage, butterfly wings sprouting from her back, her long hair flying in the wind.
Shi Nian parted her lips slightly, reached out her hand, and gently touched the painting.
Other paintings slowly rose up beside them.
She on a date, stubborn her... and when she cries.
In his paintings, she is always beautiful, and even when she cries, she doesn't look disheveled.
He always remembered her most beautiful moment; his gaze never left her.
Then she saw a string of words suspended in the center of the glass greenhouse, composed of colliding lights of various colors: "Shi Nian, will you marry me?"
It was dazzling.
It's like a portal to another time hanging in the center of a greenhouse.
Shi Nian reached out and touched the light.
At the same time, the people around him also knelt down on one knee.
Shi Nian looked down and saw Huo Yanmo holding up the ring box, looking up at her.
A gentle breeze blew by, causing the bouquets in the room to sway softly and also ruffling the hair on his forehead.
In his eyes, there was only her.
His dark eyes were filled with deep affection.
"Shi Nian, let's get married. Will you marry me?" Huo Yanmo said softly.
In the orange sunlight, the diamond ring in the box on his hand reflected a dazzling light.
"Shi Nian, I love you."
“Let me take care of you,” he said, his voice stirring waves in her heart. “Let me be your family, okay?”
Shi Nian's nose felt a little sore.
I feel an urge to cry.
She looked at him, her eyes filled with tears.
"Yan Mo," Shi Nian said.
“I’m here,” he replied, just as he had answered on all those nights filled with surprises.
“You know,” she said, her voice choked with emotion, “I’ve only recently gotten divorced.”
Her previous marriage nearly killed her.
She didn't plan to enter into another marriage anytime soon.
Sometimes, she thought that it would be enough to just date and be together.
Mutual affection requires no marriage as a constraint.
But when he actually knelt in front of her and proposed, she changed her mind.
He said he wanted to be her family.
All she ever wanted in her life was a home.
Despite having been moved countless times, her heart was still touched.
A gentle breeze stirred, and Shi Nian's eyes, unable to bear the weight, overflowed with tears that dripped down her cheeks.
Huo Yanmo didn't say anything; he simply reached out and wiped away her tears.
His eyes were filled with heartache.
"I promise you," Shi Nian said softly.
She looked into Huo Yanmo's eyes as he sat below her, and said clearly, "Let's get married."
Huo Yanmo's eyes were also wet.
He didn't stand up immediately, but remained kneeling on one knee. He took out the ring and put it on her finger.
He gently cupped her face in his hands, unable to get enough of looking at her.
"Niannian," he said softly.
"Hmm?" Shi Nian responded.
"I love you," he said with utmost sincerity.
Shi Nian smiled through her tears and nodded, "I know."
After a slight pause, she said, "I love you too."
She applied slight pressure, and he took the opportunity to stand up and then pulled her into his arms tightly.
The room full of flowers seemed to be cheering and celebrating for them.
Butterflies, seemingly from nowhere, fluttered about, as if moved by their love.
Shi Nian's eyes were very red.
In my previous marriage, there was no proposal ceremony and no carefully prepared ring.
Lu Yanzhi simply bought a pair of wedding rings at the jewelry store, put one on her finger, and that was considered her agreement.
This time, Huo Yanmo made up for it all for her.
"Clap clap clap..."
A round of applause followed.
Shi Nian looked over Huo Yanmo's shoulder and saw the other people who had come here.
Lin Zhihuan walked at the front, tears in her eyes, clapping her hands vigorously until her palms turned red.
Therefore, Lin Zhihuan already knew about Huo Yanmo's plan to propose. She took Shi Nian to the koi pond to ask her before, in order to make a final confirmation.
Standing beside Lin Zhihuan was Lin Yuchen, whose eyes were moist, but he was also clapping. His eyes showed not resentment, but relief and anticipation.
Also present were Fu Jinyan, Lin Xuan, Jian Jinran, Qi Qian, Huo Zhiyao, Huo Junhui, and others.
Sisi was also brought over by Aunt Wu, and even the chubby plush toy was brought over as well.
Let's witness this moment together.
"Auntie Xiaonian! Uncle Mo!"
Sisi called out and then ran over.
Huo Yanmo released Shi Nian and watched her squat down to hug Sisi. His eyes were full of smiles.
"Bang! Bang!"
Outside the greenhouse, petal-shaped fireworks exploded continuously.
Petals danced in the air with the booming of the cannons, drifting away in the breeze across the lake.
A flurry of petals fell, creating a shower that eventually settled on the lake's surface.
Shi Nian stood up, took Si Si's hand, and looked at Huo Yanmo to the side.
He looked at her, cupped her face in his hands, and gently kissed her lips.
At this moment, happiness overflows.
Above the lake in the flower room, the sun shines, and the words "Shi Nian, will you marry me?" hang in the air.
Huo Yanmo released Shi Nian.
She was a little shy.
Shifting focus.
She saw Zheng Shuhui standing at the back of the crowd.
That was Shi Nian's biological mother.
It's her mother.
Zheng Shuhui looked at Shi Nian with tears in her eyes.
At this moment, the barriers between them seemed to have melted away considerably.
Perhaps, when Zheng Shuhui sees them now, it's like seeing herself and Shi Yichen from her past in her memories.
