Proposal
Three months later.
In late summer, the Gancheng Grassland is shrouded in a golden-red twilight.
They mounted their horses and galloped into the depths of the grassland.
The sound of horses' hooves crushing the grass startled a flock of larks.
In this moment, Ye Wanqing felt a sense of expansiveness and began to sing, "Let us be companions in this mortal world, living freely and unrestrained, galloping on horseback, sharing the splendor of life... Let us sing and drink to express the joy in our hearts, and seize the fleeting years of youth with fervor..."
As Xue Mubai spurred his horse on, he put his arm around her waist. "Wanqing, you sang so beautifully. From now on, the wind on the grassland and the moon over the grassland will be our witnesses."
After galloping for three miles, a grassy slope full of wildflowers suddenly appeared before us.
Xue Mubai dismounted and gently lifted Ye Wanqing off the horse.
"Wanqing, look."
Ye Wanqing reached out and caught a dandelion that drifted by. She blew on it gently, and the fluffy white seeds scattered in the wind.
"So beautiful."
"Wanqing, this scenery is not as beautiful as you."
Xue Mubai wrapped his arms around her waist from behind and gently kissed her neck.
Ye Wanqing felt a tingling sensation all over her body, and her legs felt weak.
She turned her head and kissed him, and finally the two lay down on the grass, kissing each other.
The two lay on the grassy slope, watching the setting sun gradually sink on the horizon.
Xue Mubai suddenly pulled out a gold ring from his pocket, knelt down on one knee, and prepared to propose.
"Wanqing, I love you. I, Xue Mubai, hereby swear. Today I wish to stay with you until we grow old, to share every day and night, and to live a carefree life together. If I betray you, may I be struck by lightning and die a horrible death. Wanqing, will you marry me?"
Ye Wanqing was surprised to see him propose so solemnly, but she also felt that everything was going to happen naturally.
She looked up at him, her eyes filled with laughter, "Xue Mubai, I love you too. I am willing to marry you, to hold your hand and grow old with you in this life."
In her previous life, she lived in the apocalypse. Although she had five husbands, she did not understand what love was.
But now she understands.
Love is being willing to give up everything for the other person...
Love is the willingness to give everything for the other person...
Love is wanting to possess the other person exclusively for a lifetime...
Love is a two-way flow of feelings between two people...
Love is being willing to break your own principles and set aside your own beliefs for the other person...
"That's wonderful, Wanqing..."
Upon hearing that Ye Wanqing had actually agreed to his request, Xue Mubai excitedly embraced her and held her in his arms for a long time before letting go.
She extended her finger, and Xue Mubai slipped the gold ring onto Ye Wanqing's finger.
"Wanqing, let's register our marriage tomorrow."
"good."
Ye Wanqing had always advocated dating but not getting married, raising delicate fish, and being a playboy.
She was immediately filled with emotion. Since coming to this era, she had met so many men who liked her, but she never expected that only Xue Mubai would stay with her until the end and they would get married.
Although she had feelings for other men, in the end, they were all fleeting romances, just deep affections but shallow connections.
The only man who stayed with her until the end, the only one who dared to give up everything for her, was Xue Mubai.
She met such a good man, and she liked him too. What reason did she have not to be happy and cherish him?
But after meeting Xue Mubai, she broke her principle of not getting married. She wanted to get married, she wanted to stay with Xue Mubai, and be with him for the rest of her life...
Perhaps, this is love...
The two stood side by side, facing the snow-capped mountains at the edge of the grassland, and bowed to heaven and earth three times.
The two looked at each other and smiled. Xue Mubai was very excited. "You are finally going to be my wife, Wanqing. It's been four years. I have finally waited for you... God knows how hard it has been for me to wait for this day... I will cherish you and love you with all my might for the rest of my life."
The two embraced and kissed again, their lips intertwined...
Their tongues touched softly together...
Afterwards, she nestled in his arms, quietly gazing at the distant snow-capped mountains.
I'm a little shy, but why am I inexplicably excited? I'm even a little excited...
She reached out and hooked her arm around his neck: "Then what are we waiting for?"
Xue Mubai gently kissed her lips, and she responded passionately. The two rolled around on the grass.
Xue Mubai held Ye Wanqing tightly in his arms, listening to her even breathing: "Wanqing, I love you, you are the most beautiful April day in this world."
Ye Wanqing nestled tightly in his arms and said happily, "Xue Mubai, I love you too. You are the whole meaning of my existence in this life."
...
Meanwhile, in Shanghai, at the Xue Family Mansion.
Ever since Xue Mubai ran away from his arranged marriage, the Xue family has become the laughing stock of the entire city of Shanghai.
The Su family, who were originally slated for a marriage alliance, severed all ties with the Xue family because of this incident.
Xue Huaili was so angry that he actually fell ill from the anger and suffered a stroke. Now he is truly paralyzed in bed, with a crooked mouth and eyes, and he is partially paralyzed. He needs someone to take care of him and clean up his excrement.
Xue Mubai's mother stayed by his bedside throughout his illness.
The family business is no longer being managed.
Xue Mubai's mother advised him, "Old man, you're not feeling well right now, why don't you find your son first?"
Xue Huaili refused. Although his mouth was crooked and his eyes were squinting, he was still furious. "No way! This brat! It's all because of him that I got sick! I will never forgive him! Let him die out there, I don't care!"
Xue Mubai's mother immediately got angry, put the water glass on the table, and slammed it down.
"Old man! I've put up with you for too long! Don't you know why the Xue family is like this? How can you blame our son? If you hadn't altered his college application and faked illness to trick him into an arranged marriage, would he have run away from home? It's all your fault."
Xue Huaili was stunned for a moment, and muttered with a crooked mouth and squinting eyes, "Could it be... really my fault?"
"It's all your fault! So what if our son likes that Ye Wanqing? I've investigated her. Ye Wanqing is quite successful. She started her own business, got into university, and comes from a prestigious family. How is she inferior to our son? Our son has his own judgment and is definitely not bad. Anyway, I'm determined to find our son."
Seeing her like this only made Xue Huaili angrier.
"You two are going to drive me crazy sooner or later."
After saying that, he coughed violently, "Quickly, bring me some water!"
Madam Xue looked at him coldly and said, "If you're so capable, then serve yourself. Humph, I'm not going to serve you anymore. I'll only serve you when my son comes back. Go fend for yourself."
After saying that, she went out and locked the door from the outside.
Enraged, Xue Huaili cursed and swore, but there was nothing he could do...
