Ye Xin's Story: The Proposal
Silence and sorrow spread.
After a long silence, the doctors, unable to bear it any longer, comforted him, saying, "Mr. Gu, please accept our condolences."
However, as soon as she finished speaking, the little hand that Gu Ye was holding tightly twitched slightly.
Immediately afterwards, a faint, kitten-like voice rang out: "Gu..."
Seeing the girl slowly regain consciousness on the emergency table, all the doctors and nurses stared wide-eyed in disbelief.
...
Six months later.
On a sunny afternoon, in the garden of Beichen Mansion.
The woman, who had been bedridden for a long time, has been recovering remarkably well in the last few days.
So, taking advantage of the pleasant morning weather, she couldn't resist going out to bask in the sun, leaning on her crutches.
The servants stood guard nearby, watching with trepidation.
"Madam, please slow down."
"Watch out for the steps."
"Let me help you."
Their cautious and fearful demeanor, as if they were afraid of losing their jobs, amused the children.
"It's okay, don't worry, I'm just taking a few steps."
The main problem was that she had been lying down and sitting for too long, and she was about to go crazy from being cooped up.
I've finally been able to walk again, and more activity will help me recover faster.
But as soon as she finished speaking, the servants' respectful voices rang out: "Sir, you're back."
It's that trick again.
Tong Xin pouted: "Don't always use him to scare me, I just..."
Before she could finish speaking, Qingya's presence drew near, took her cane, and lifted her up in her arms.
"Gu... Gu Ye?" Tong Xin blinked, looking down at the handsome face.
I'm impressed, they really came back.
I thought it was another "boy who cried wolf" trick.
"Um."
Gu Ye's tone was not blaming, but rather gentle: "The doctor said you need to rest for at least another half a month before you can get out of bed. Be good, just bear with it a little longer."
"oh."
Faced with his gentle coaxing, Tongxin, who never gets angry, obediently nodded.
Then, a group of servants, quite perceptive, brought her wheelchair from inside the house.
Gu Ye then picked her up and gently placed her back in the wheelchair.
"You got off work so early today."
He was back at 10:30 in the morning.
Tong Xin looked up at him and asked, "Did you skip work again?"
Gu Ye is the person in charge, so there's no such thing as him skipping work; after all, he's the one who calls the shots at Shengyao.
He then replied without batting an eye, "I'm leaving get off work at the normal time."
He knelt down and massaged her legs. "What would you like for lunch today? I'll have someone arrange it."
"Hmm, well..."
Tong Xin shook her head: "I don't want to eat what other people make."
Gu Ye: "Hmm?"
Tong Xin: "I want to do it myself."
After she finished speaking, she raised her hand at him and winked mischievously.
Gu Ye understood immediately, walked up to her, and squatted down to be at eye level with her.
Tong Xin smiled contentedly, placed her raised hand on his head and gently rubbed it, then slowly cupped his slightly thinner face in her hands.
He has been unable to eat or sleep well for the past six months because he is worried about her condition.
She seems cold and aloof, but I often wake up in the middle of the night and always need to kiss her to make sure she's safe before I feel a little at ease.
As I lost weight, my nerves became more sensitive and weakened.
"Thanks for your hard work."
She gently stroked his cheek with her soft fingertips. "Don't you like the steamed buns I make? Shall I make some for you?"
To be honest, Gu Ye wanted to refuse.
He wanted her to get some rest.
But looking into her smiling eyes, he finally nodded: "Okay."
A short while later, in the kitchen.
She said she would cook herself, but due to inconvenience, Tongxin spent most of her time talking and teaching the servants how to cook.
There's nothing she can do; she can't even stand up now, and she can't even reach the stove.
Only when the maid set up a small table in front of her and let her take charge of making dumplings did she finally feel a real sense of participation.
Gu Ye sat down in front of her and they wrapped the bag together.
He has a pair of very beautiful hands, long and slender with well-defined joints, but they seem more suited to playing the piano, holding a pen, and so on.
As for making dumplings, I can't say I'm particularly skillful; it's more like a disaster.
"this……"
Tong Xin looked at the unidentified object wrapped up in his hand and his innocent and helpless eyes, and couldn't help but chuckle.
"President Shengyao, sir."
Tong Xin poked his high nose with her flour-covered fingers. "Your cooking talent is inversely proportional to your business talent."
"Feel sorry."
Gu Ye's expression was serious, but his ears were slightly red. He picked up another piece of rolled-out dough and said, "Try it again."
A childlike eyebrow raises.
Has the competitive spirit been ignited?
Seeing his comical nose covered in flour, Tongxin suppressed a laugh and said, "Okay."
She very kindly took a new sheet of dough and said, "Then I'll teach you one more time."
"Come on, like this, hold the dough, starting from the edge..."
She taught very meticulously and patiently, and Gu Ye watched intently, learning very diligently.
Time seems long and beautiful as it flows by in such a warm and gentle way.
In the height of spring, when all things begin to sprout, several towering plane trees outside the house have shed their winter's withered branches and leaves, and are now sprouting new buds.
After a while, looking at the increasingly well-made buns that Gu Ye had wrapped, Tong Xin praised them without reservation, "Great job! Great job!"
She deliberately pinched his cheek with her flour-covered hands, saying, "As expected of our super-intelligent CEO Shengyao, you learn things so quickly."
Her smile was radiant, her eyes were full and her dimples were shallow.
The sorrowful and dejected look from a few months ago is no longer visible.
Gu Ye smiled sincerely: "Thank you, Teacher Tong, you teach very well."
All the pain seemed to gradually melt away with time.
The following summer, all of Tong Xin's wounds healed, and she regained her health.
Those who hurt children back then are probably almost a year old now.
Gu Ye was thirty-one years old at that time.
He successfully became the "old man" that his nephew used to talk about.
These words weren't so damaging to Gu Ye before.
After all, a man is in his prime at thirty, the most charming and golden age.
But now...
"Heart."
That evening, he watched his beautiful girlfriend come out of the bathroom after taking a shower and sit leisurely in front of the dressing table applying lotion.
He couldn't resist, so he leaned forward, picked her up, and held her in his arms. "Xin Xin."
A sudden clinginess.
Tong Xin casually rubbed the half-applied face cream onto his handsome face with its flawless skin, and asked gently, "What's wrong?"
Gu Ye kissed her cheek: "You promised me before that you would get married to me after you recovered. Does that still stand?"
So that's what it was for.
Tong Xin found it amusing and pretended to hesitate, saying, "Ah, well..."
"But I'm only 23 years old this year, it feels like getting married now is too early, so..."
"It's not early."
Gu Ye buried his face in the crook of her neck, his calm and gentle voice slowly stating, "My younger brother and sister-in-law got married at 20 and had their baby at 22. We're already quite late for this."
"I see~"
Tongxin felt the affectionate rubbing against his neck, and his teasing intentions intensified. He continued to feign hesitation, saying, "Let me think about it carefully..."
Before he finished speaking, he had already picked her up and placed her on the dressing table, then held her waist and kissed her without saying a word.
Then, while kissing her affectionately and tenderly, he said, "No need to think about it, marry me."
After he finished speaking, he slipped a beautiful diamond ring onto her ring finger.
