Jiang Ze feigned understanding: "It's okay, it's all my fault. If I had done well enough, she wouldn't have had a chance to eat it."
"It's good that you think that way."
...
They strolled hand in hand down the street, chatting and laughing all the way.
Looking at the bright lights, bustling crowds, and dazzling array of goods on the street is also a kind of happiness.
Jiang Yimei seemed quite happy, as if she had rediscovered the sweet feeling she had when she was dating.
Perhaps the person she truly loved was not Lin Congzhi, but the man who had been by her side for seven years.
Knowing that Jiang Ze loves spicy food, she specifically found a Hunan restaurant and sat down to eat with him.
At the dinner table, the two reminisced about the past, discussed the future, and built a beautiful dream together, thoroughly enjoying themselves.
...
After dinner, the two strolled along the riverbank, enjoying the night view on both sides and the cool river breeze.
After walking for more than ten minutes, they saw empty seats by the river and decided to sit down and rest.
With a bright moon and few stars, a gentle breeze, and lights twinkling on both banks, Jiang Yimei only wanted to lean on Jiang Ze's shoulder and share this beautiful moment.
Jiang Ze leaned his head closer, feeling the warmth of this gentle and kind woman's head and the lingering fragrance of her hair.
After a few minutes of silence, Jiang Yimei, gazing intently at the beautiful scenery before her, asked in a deep voice, "Jiang Ze, do you love me?"
Jiang Ze's heart skipped a beat, wondering why Jiang Yimei asked him that; had she noticed something was wrong? Had she become suspicious of him?
He suppressed his panic and forced himself to remain calm, saying, "Of course I love you."
Jiang Yimei said what she had decided after thinking it over: "Let's get married."
Jiang Ze was caught off guard: "Marriage? This...isn't this too early? I haven't met the conditions your parents set yet."
I was extremely nervous.
Jiang Yimei said confidently, "I can handle this on my own. You just need to tell me whether you want to get married or not."
Jiang Ze asked in surprise, "You have that much money?"
Just buying a house requires a down payment of several hundred thousand yuan. If you add buying a car, wouldn't it be even more?
Didn't Jiang Yimei say she was completely broke? How could she possibly come up with so much money?
Jiang Yimei frowned slightly and asked urgently, "Don't ask me, just answer me, do you want to get married?"
While scrolling through short videos, she saw a video that said: if a man is hesitant and evasive about marriage, it means he doesn't care about you at all.
So she was terrified, afraid that Jiang Ze would be the kind of person described in the short video, and that all her views on love would collapse.
"I...I..." Jiang Ze stammered, finally finding a reason to evade the question: "How can I, a grown man, rely on a woman? If word gets out, no one will respect me, including your parents."
Jiang Yimei disagreed: "Only the two of us know about this. As long as I keep my mouth shut, who else will know?"
“But I can’t get over this in my heart.” Jiang Ze forced an explanation: “A man should be the pillar of the family. He should handle things like buying a house and a car by himself.”
Jiang Yimei immediately lifted her head from Jiang Ze's shoulder, staring at the unfathomable, somewhat cold and frightening man in front of her, her mind racing.
She never expected Jiang Ze to say that.
If you truly love her and truly want to marry her, would you care who supports whom?
What is Jiang Ze afraid of? Could it be that his feelings for her over the past seven years were all fake, all a lie?
She couldn't help but recall Yao Yao's advice.
