Chapter 1208 - 1205: Proposal 6

Because, in the moonlight, his gaze is so bright, so gentle, possessing a masculine charisma she had never seen in any other man before.

It was precisely this charisma that once made her both respect and fear him.

But because of this, her expectations of him are particularly high, particularly severe—people often act this way: when occasionally deceived, mocked, or even harmed by strangers, we remain indifferent; but if met with coldness and cruelty from the closest people, it becomes unbearable—forever resenting that you would treat me this way!!!

A person who frequently does good deeds may occasionally commit a wrong, even unintentionally, and people often label him as a hypocrite;

Yet someone who frequently does evil may occasionally have a change of heart and do a good deed, and people consider him worthy of forgiveness.

This happens between strangers and also between family and friends.

Some children take on the duty of caring for the elderly, handling their daily needs; while others, who make no effort, occasionally visit and say some sweet words, yet the elderly surprisingly think these children are much better.

This is the cruel truth of human life: rewards do not necessarily correspond proportionally to effort. On the contrary, the more you give, the deeper people’s moral coercion against you—hence the saying, good people are often bullied.

The moonlight perfectly shines on a rose petal.

As Yan Xixi lifts her face, the clear brilliance of the moon scatters over her face, arms.

"Xixi... marry me..."

She is stunned.

She sees under the moonlight, Wan Donglin kneeling on one knee, holding a dazzling ring in his hand. The colored diamond ring sparkles with extremely elaborate colors in the moonlight. It was during a jewelry exhibition he attended that he instantly fell in love with this beautiful diamond ring. He believed that of all under the heavens, only this diamond ring could be worthy of his bride.

At this moment, he looks up at her, and in the moonlight, her eyes are surprisingly bright. Ah, in this moment, he thinks, she truly resembles a queen high above.

He is incredibly nervous, his voice slightly trembling, reaching out to hold her right hand: "Xixi... marry me..."

The silence is fleeting, yet in this brief moment, he fears she might reject him, as if once she opens her mouth, she would inevitably say "no".

Just amidst his tense anticipation, she suddenly holds his hand tightly.

"You big oaf, this ring is really beautiful..."

He immediately stands up, overjoyed, hastily putting the ring on her ring finger, perfectly fitting.

Up close, the dazzling brilliance of the ring is even more mesmerizing.

Even the strongest woman can have her moment of vulnerability.

He grabs her, almost spinning her in circles several times, until her head feels dizzy, then gently sets her down.

"You big oaf..."

She feels dizzy, "What are you doing?"

He laughs heartily: "Xixi, next Monday will be an auspicious day, let’s go get the marriage certificate. As for the wedding, three months later there’s a perfect day, the Empress Dowager said she’d immediately arrange a team to organize once we set the date..."

Yan Xixi didn’t expect it to come so quickly, as if once the ring is on her hand, everything had become certain, with no power to salvage or delay.

She stands there dazed, not daring to respond, only silently turning the ring on her finger to conceal her nervous and uneasy feelings.
