The living room was bustling with activity, and it was still filled with the usual dazzling and extravagant decorations.
Mo Yuanxiu was smiling, and there was a hint of maturity in his charming smile as he said in his low voice, “You saw it just now?”
Wen Yun’s expression darkened, and he glared at him. His voice was not friendly, but he did not sound as if he despised him. At least on the stage, Wen Yun was still the gentleman he used to be. “I don’t know what you mean?”
“I kissed Lu Manman just now.”
“I don’t have time to listen to your bullsh*t.” Wen Yun’s expression darkened, and he coldly said, “Mo Yuanxiu, we were once classmates. Don’t blame me for not reminding you beforehand that Lu Manman is different from the other women you know. It’s impossible for you to win her heart.”
“So what you mean is that Lu Manman will marry no one but you?” Mo Yuanxiu’s thin lips quivered slightly, but there was no expression on his face.
Wen Yun scoffed. “At least, she won’t marry you!”
Mo Yuanxiu suddenly laughed in an exaggerated manner and said, “Young Master Wen, it’s best you remember every word you say.”
With that, he turned around and left elegantly.
Wen Yun clenched his teeth in anger and tightened his grip on the glass. He was trying his best to suppress his emotions, but it only made his expression darken for a second.
Mo Yuanxiu was a scumbag. Did he really think that he could do whatever he wanted just because he had some money?!
He actually dared to provoke him so brazenly now?! He actually dared to woo Lu Manman in front of so many people in Wen City! He was obviously embarrassing him!
His heart was so cruel and brutal!
Someday, he would let the world know that Mo Yuanxiu was no match for a single strand of his hair!
Someday, he would make the Mo Mandate disappear from Wen City completely.
At that point, he would step on his toes and tell him that he remembered every single word that he said, including making him bankrupt!
The hatred in his heart grew even greater.
The lobby went dark all of a sudden.
Before anyone could react, a beam of light blue light came on in the middle of the living room. A man in a white suit was holding a bouquet of roses. The atmosphere was great, and the surrounding crowd consciously made a circle around the light, as if subconsciously embellishing an indescribable romance.
The man in the white suit holding a rose was Di Yi.
It was the same in her previous life. He proposed to Gu Xin in front of everyone.
This plot repeated itself.
Lu Manman looked at Di Yi. He wasn’t exactly handsome, but he did charm Gu Xin to the core.
She wanted to step forward and stop him for a second, but she eventually swallowed her anger.
In the quiet living room, Di Yi’s sincere voice could be heard. He said, “I’ve never been good with words. I don’t know how to sweet-talk. I don’t know how to make a romantic scene. I don’t know how to express my emotions, and I’ve never told the woman I love that I love her. But today, I’m twenty-seven, and she’s twenty-three. I want to pluck up the courage to tell her, ‘Gu Xin, I love you. Marry me, and let me take care of you for the rest of your life!'”
The room broke out in applause.
Meanwhile, the female lead in the corner had her arms wrapped around her body, refusing to appear in the spotlight.
“Gu Xin.” Di Yi strode steadily toward her.
With that, he walked up to her.
She was wearing a white gown tonight, and it matched perfectly with Di Yi’s suit. At this point, under the dreamy blue light, the two of them looked stunning.
“Marry me, alright?” Di Yi got down on one knee and held the bouquet in front of Gu Xin.
Gu Xin’s body twitched, and tears welled up in her eyes. She was so touched she couldn’t control her emotions.
She looked at Di Yi, the man she had loved for so many years.
A while later.
She seemed to have taken a lot of effort to adjust her emotions. “Di Yi, I’m a fool. I keep forgetting where I am, and it’s easy for me to lose myself. But you were always the first to find me. Just like how you were able to locate me even though I was out in the dark… I don’t know if I can be a good wife and mother in the future, but right now, I really wish to form a happy family with you. I want to give birth to a bunch of little kids for you…”
Her voice cracked.
These were tears of joy.
Everyone knew that.
Di An knew as well.
He looked at the couple under the bright light.
It had been a long time since he last felt his heart ache.
He used to think that he could face everything that she had given him. But now, he felt like he had overestimated himself.
Hence, he turned around and left.
He could not stand in the corner and wish them well, so he could only make her leave his sight.
He was in such a sorry state.
…
At this point, no one should notice that someone had left.
Lu Manman looked at his back in the dark and then turned to look at the blissful couple under the light.
She pursed her lips.
Di Yi got up from the ground and wiped Gu Xin’s tears off affectionately. “I don’t need a good wife and mother. What I need is just you. You don’t have to change who you are now. I just need that silly girl who turns around and sees me standing behind you when she’s confused and helpless. Gu Xin, do you know that taking care of you for the rest of my life is my greatest wish?”
“Di Yi, I love you.” Gu Xin was so touched she fell into Di Yi’s arms.
This was the first time she’d heard Di Yi say something so emotional. In the past, he would only take care of her in silence, knowing that she couldn’t protect herself well. She really hadn’t expected Di Yi to propose to her at this point. She’d thought that he would develop his career first and that their wedding would be delayed until she was at least twenty-five years old.
This surprise that seemed to have come from the heavens moved her so much she teared up.
She thought that she would be happy marrying Di Yi for the rest of her life and that she would be in his arms until she died.
She never thought that the hardships that would follow would shatter her life!
