Chapter 70 Proposal I sincerely invite you to be my husband…
Fu Yanli's injury requires him to stay in bed for a month, and he will need rehabilitation afterwards, which is expected to take at least three months.
However, he had signed a contract for a drama and was about to start filming. Although Fu Yanli said that he didn't need to worry about him and that there were many caregivers and nannies at home who could take care of him and let him focus on filming, Jiang Shunian thought it over and decided to quit the role.
He was really worried about Fu Yanli's injury.
Furthermore, he and Nuonuo have spent very little time together in the past six months, and he really wants to spend more time with him. Children grow up so fast; they grow up before you know it.
Moreover, even when he's not filming, he won't give up honing his acting skills.
Once Fu Yanli recovers, he will continue to dedicate himself to his beloved acting career.
Jiang Shunian paid the full amount of compensation, and Fu Yanli also made an additional investment. Therefore, the production team was not angry at all, but happily began to recast the roles.
Nowadays, there are more actors than roles, and the production team quickly found a suitable actor. It was Jiang Shunian who recommended him. He was the same person whose role was taken away by Qin Guanyue's mistress. He was a professionally trained actor with excellent acting skills. After getting this opportunity, he immediately seized it and expressed his gratitude to Jiang Shunian.
Most fans understand Jiang Shunian's choice, but a small number feel that Jiang Shunian is too love-obsessed and that her career is the most important thing.
Jiang Shunian could afford to wait three months, and he also had a drama to air in the second half of the year, so the gap wasn't long. He could also use this time to prepare for the wedding, otherwise he would need to set aside extra time later.
He also promised fans that he would do live streams from time to time, and that fans could tell him what kind of roles they wanted to see him play, and he would try his best to find suitable scripts.
Jiang Shunian always remembered what Fu Yanli had said about the countless prayers he heard during his emergency. In addition to giving away a few prizes to his fans, he also wanted to give back with his work.
It would have been better not to ask, because once you did, you'd find that everyone's opinion was very much in agreement.
[I'd love to see Shu Nian play Han Zigao; it would be perfect if President Fu could play Emperor Wen of Chen.]
Sister, you've got some serious ideas! But I'd like one too.
[If it were the two of you acting, I would eat my fill!]
Jiang Shunian showed the fans' comments to Fu Yanli: "So, Mr. Fu, how about it? Are you interested in playing a role?"
Fu Yanli is naturally not interested in acting, and doesn't have that much time, but he should be able to take on a cameo role.
After a moment's thought, he chose a role: "I can play Emperor Xuan of Chen, Chen Xu. Shu Nian, have you ever heard a piece of unofficial history? I can't guarantee it's true, but it's unofficial enough."
"What unofficial history?" Jiang Shunian's interest was piqued as soon as he heard it.
"You know that Han Zigao was forced to his death by Chen Xu, but unofficial history says that Chen Xu was also bewitched by Han Zigao's beauty and promised that if he became his lover, he could be spared from death. However, Han Zigao resolutely refused, and Chen Xu, in his anger, ordered Han Zigao to be executed."
Jiang Shunian opened his eyes wide. This unofficial history was indeed quite outlandish. However, considering that Han Zigao could make the enemy army discard their swords and admit defeat, it seemed to make sense that he had deceived the next emperor.
Thinking about it this way, Jiang Shunian felt that it was indeed very suitable for Fu Yanli to play the role of Chen Xu. The role had few scenes, and given Fu Yanli's abilities, it could be filmed in two or three days at most, without taking up too much time.
"If you like, I'll have the people at Time Series find suitable scripts for the project. If you have a favorite director, you can also tell me, and I'll arrange for someone to invite them."
Fu Yanli completely indulged Jiang Shunian, and would immediately carry out whatever Jiang wanted to do.
"Okay, let me think about it."
Fu Yanli's hospital room was very nice, almost like a hotel, with a meeting room, a spacious bed for accompanying patients, and even a kitchen. Jiang Shunian cooked suitable food for Fu Yanli every day. In just a few days, Fu Yanli felt that he had gained a few pounds, and even his abdominal muscles began to become blurred.
All of that was fine, but what was more agonizing was when Jiang Shunian wiped his body. Whenever those slender hands brushed against his body, it would always cause him to feel restless and eagerly anticipate his lover's arrival.
When Jiang Shunian first saw it, he was both amused and exasperated. How could someone who was injured still be able to stand up?
Fu Yanli chuckled: "I only hurt my leg, there's nothing else here. Shu Nian, can you rub it for me?"
Jiang Shunian wasn't fooled. The doctor said that Fu Yanli needed to rest.
Nuonuo didn't go back to school either. Fu Yanli had his textbooks and study materials delivered to him so he could study on his own, and occasionally he would personally teach him. Nuonuo said he learned more than he did at school.
They stayed in the local hospital for a week, and after the doctor diagnosed that they were ready to be discharged and recuperate, they returned to S City.
Qin Lang was caught by Pei Qingrong and temporarily detained in a juvenile detention center after the police were called. However, Qin Lang was too young, and according to the country's laws, there was no way to hold him criminally responsible; at most, he would receive a reprimand and education.
However, he didn't fare well either. Lu Yunchuan beat him up several times in private, leaving him with a bruised and swollen face.
Fu Yanli planned to deal with him after Kang Fu was over.
Without a doubt, the person responsible for the car accident was Qin Guanting, as only the Qin family would hate them to the core.
However, Qin Guanting did it quite discreetly, and Fu Yanli spent some effort to find the evidence, which was eventually added to his sentence.
When Qin Guanting learned the news in prison, he sighed, wondering how Fu Yanli could be so lucky, only injuring one leg.
But the days that followed were very difficult for him. He was frequently beaten and verbally abused by his fellow inmates. He was put in solitary confinement for fighting back, and was beaten again after his release. He was even woken up by cold water at night. He suffered terribly and lost more than ten pounds in just a few days. His face also looked old and he looked completely different from before.
He was extremely resentful, but history is written by the victors and the vanquished. If Fu Yanli had lost, he might have used even more methods to torture him.
He can only hope to be released from prison soon so he can get revenge.
But he didn't know that he had no chance to retaliate.
Jiang Shunian's birthday is in two days. Fu Yanli originally planned to take Jiang Shunian to his private yacht to celebrate and propose to her. They could also spend the night in the yacht's luxurious room. He even cunningly changed the bed in the room to a waterbed, imagining how exciting that night would be.
Fu Yanli was in low spirits. He could only lie in bed or use a wheelchair at most, and he had no way to kneel down and propose to Jiang Shunian.
Fortunately, he and Jiang Shunian still have plenty of time in the future, so he can plan it again.
Jiang Shunian was well aware of his lover's feelings, so he decided to propose.
They're both men, so it doesn't matter who proposes; what matters is that they're together.
Therefore, Jiang Shunian privately contacted Shen Boheng and asked him to decorate the manor. Shen Boheng naturally agreed with a smile.
She even added a butler's line to her own head: "After thirty-one years, the young master can finally get married."
Jiang Shunian covered her mouth, trying not to laugh too loudly, her body trembling.
When they take their wedding photos, maybe we can try having Fu Yanli wear a wedding dress; that scene would definitely be... hilarious.
Jiang Shunian's birthday happened to fall on a Saturday, and they returned to the manor.
On the day they returned to S City, Shen Lingyi came to see her son. She originally thought she must hold back her tears, but when she saw her son's face, which was noticeably rounder, all of Shen Lingyi's sadness was dispelled.
The fact that she didn't laugh out loud already shows how much she loves her mother.
Fu Yanli sat in his electric wheelchair, controlling his own movement. Shen Lingyi came over and hugged Jiang Shunian first: "Shunian, happy birthday. You've really worked hard taking care of Yanli these past few days."
"You're too kind, Auntie. It's all I should do," Jiang Shunian winked at her.
Shen Lingyi understood immediately and indicated that everything was arranged properly.
Besides the ring, Fu Yanli's birthday gift to Jiang Shunian also included a thoroughbred racehorse, pure white and very beautiful, which was already being kept at the horse farm, and they could go see it later.
In addition, Fu Yanli also made up for the gifts Jiang Shunian received over the past twenty-six years. Whether it was clothes, shoes, or jewelry, Fu Yanli bought everything that Jiang Shunian could use.
Jiang Shunian is still reeling from the shock of someone knocking on her door this morning and delivering twenty-six large gift boxes.
And Fu Yanli, sitting in his wheelchair, personally cooked longevity noodles for Jiang Shunian.
As Jiang Shunian ate his noodles, he couldn't help but tear up when he heard Fu Yanli and Nuonuo wishing him a happy birthday.
He really has a wonderful lover.
Shen Lingyi also gifted Jiang Shunian luxury jewelry, all men's pieces, so that Jiang Shunian could wear them to events in the future.
Fu Shizhang then gave Jiang Shunian 2% of his Fu family shares, insisting that he accept them.
Lunch was very lavish, with exquisite and delicious dishes, all of which were Jiang Shunian's favorite dishes when he ate here, which Shen Lingyi and Shen Boheng carefully observed and noted down.
Shen Lingyi said to Jiang Shunian, "After you and Yanli went public, many people envied me for having such a good daughter-in-law. Shunian, I am truly grateful to you. I toast you and wish you success in your career and a peaceful old age free from illness and disaster."
After spending the past six months together, Shen Lingyi has genuinely come to regard Jiang Shunian as her own son. And after today's proposal, she can rightfully hear Jiang Shunian call her "Mom".
"Thank you, Auntie." Jiang Shunian stood up and clinked glasses with Shen Lingyi.
Jiang Shunian was really happy today and drank a few more cups than usual. Fortunately, he took a nap with Fu Yanli in the afternoon and woke up.
As evening fell, Jiang Shunian was preoccupied with proposing to Fu Yanli, feeling nervous and excited. She had to use all her acting skills to hide her excitement, but even so, Fu Yanli almost noticed.
He pushed Fu Yanli in his wheelchair for a walk outside, and Fu Yanli apologized to him: "Shu Nian, I'm sorry I can't propose to you today. Can you wait for me? I'll be fully recovered soon."
His physical condition is better than that of ordinary people. Cheng Jingming optimistically predicts that Fu Yanli may not need three months to fully recover.
Although their relationship is stable now, they haven't officially registered their marriage and become a legal couple yet. With so many people on the internet eyeing his wife, Fu Yanli still feels a great sense of crisis.
She had expected a positive response from Jiang Shunian, but to her surprise, he replied, "Why should I wait? What if I can't wait?"
Fu Yanli didn't think much of it, only felt apologetic, and even tried to stand up by supporting himself on the armrests of his wheelchair.
Jiang Shunian quickly grabbed him, stopping his movements, her eyes shining like stars under the streetlight: "Fu Yanli, why does it have to be you who proposes to me? Can't I do it myself?"
After he finished speaking, the surrounding lights suddenly changed to dazzling colors. At the same time, fireworks suddenly rose into the sky and exploded overhead, like a cascading galaxy. Drones shuttled through the air, forming a romantic bouquet pattern of roses.
Amidst this beautiful scenery, Jiang Shunian knelt on one knee before Fu Yanli with a beaming smile and said, "Mr. Fu Yanli, given our deep affection and our mutual desire to walk hand in hand through the coming decades, I sincerely invite you to become my husband. From now on, we will share both honor and disgrace, and our love will never waver. Mr. Fu Yanli, are you willing?"
Jiang Shunian had practiced these words in private for a long time, just so he could propose to his lover Fu Yanli tonight.
Fu Yanli was genuinely surprised, even feeling a lump in his throat and choking up, unable to speak for a moment.
“Of course I do, Shu Nian.” Fu Yanli held his hand, trying to get him to stand up. “I am willing to be your husband, for life.”
There was one more thing Fu Yanli didn't say: even death could not extinguish his love; he wanted to be with Jiang Shunian for all eternity.
Jiang Shunian refused to get up, and instead reached out to him: "Honey, where's the ring?"
Fu Yanli had indeed been carrying the ring with him the whole time. Upon hearing this, he was a little flustered and found the ring, handing it to Jiang Shunian.
There were also faint glimmers of tears in Jiang Shunian's beautiful and clear eyes. The engagement ring that Fu Yanli had ordered was very gorgeous. It was made by cutting a single rare blue diamond into two pieces. Jiang Shunian's diamond almost filled her entire ring finger, and it shimmered under the light, making it a work of art.
However, Jiang Shunian's slender fingers and fair, jade-like skin were not overshadowed by the brilliance of the diamonds; on the contrary, they made her even more beautiful.
Fu Yanli lowered his head and kissed his ring finger, his Adam's apple bobbing, his voice full of love: "It's beautiful, only this ring is worthy of you."
Jiang Shunian really liked it, so he put Fu Yanli's ring on his finger as well, and then they held hands.
Two rings placed together resemble hearts pressed tightly together.
Suddenly, applause rang out from the Fu family members and Nuonuo who were hiding there.
Nuonuo's little hands were red from clapping. It's so great! Daddy and Daddy have finally tied the knot, and he'll be a flower boy at their wedding!
Shen Lingyi was also deeply moved and jokingly teased Fu Yanli, "You're such a lucky kid. Not only do you have such a perfect partner, but he also proposed to you. Shu Nian, can you change your address now? I've been waiting for this day for so long."
Jiang Shunian stood up, faced Shen Lingyi, her voice trembling, and called out the title she had never had before: "Mom."
Shen Lingyi strode over and hugged Jiang Shunian: "Good child, I've finally waited for this day."
Jiang Shunian slowly hugged Shen Lingyi back. Her scent was gentle, exactly the same as the scent of his mother that he had longed for when he was a child.
Fu Shizhang coughed, his eyes filled with anticipation.
Jiang Shunian smiled and called out, "Dad."
Fu Shizhang smiled with satisfaction and quickly agreed.
The proposal was a complete success, and Jiang Shunian couldn't resist posting on his WeChat Moments to announce that he had proposed successfully. The accompanying picture showed the two of them holding hands, with the gemstone on the ring sparkling.
Jiang Shunian has many friends on WeChat, and soon received many blessings and likes. It was also quickly reposted on Weibo, becoming a trending topic.
But Jiang Shunian couldn't reply because he was being pulled to straddle Fu Yanli.
"Baby, I asked the doctor, and if you're on top, it won't affect the recovery." Fu Yanli's fingers deftly unbuttoned his shirt, revealing a handsome body. His eyes were dark, and his voice was low and husky. "Wife, tonight is our proposal anniversary. We need to celebrate properly, okay?"
