Yan Hua went back to lie down on her bed.
Burying into the sheets, she pulled her blanket over her head.
She wanted to act like she had heard nothing, but the image of him proposing to her with a lily bouquet kept appearing in her mind.
It was an image she would not have dared to imagine even in her dreams.
Sparkling tears swelled in Yan Hua’s eyes.
Nan Zhi knocked and entered the room. Glancing at Yan Hua who had hidden herself under her blanket, she sat by the bad and asked softly, “Huahua, are you really not giving Bo Yan another chance?”
Yan Hua shook her head from under the blanket.
Nan Zhi walked to the window, taking a glance downstairs.
“Oh, Huahua, they’ve left.”
Yan Hua immediately lifted the blanket and sat up on the bed.
Nan Zhi could not read the emotion on Yan Hua’s pretty face. “It’s good that they’ve left. Doesn’t he find it embarrassing to have so many people looking at them? In order to marry the beauty, he really put in a lot of effort!” Nan Zhi blinked at Yan Hua.
Yan Hua walked to the window, a slight disappointment flashing in her eyes when she saw that the crowd was still there despite the proposing squad having disappeared. “If he was really sincere, he didn’t need to leave immediately, right?”
Hearing Yan Hua’s words, Nan Zhi could not help but say, “You were still saying you’re not giving him any chance? Look, you’re panicking now that he’s left.”
Realizing that Nan Zhi was teasing her, Yan Hua glared at Nan Zhi with a flushed face. “Zhizhi, you’re my best friend, why are you speaking for Bo Yan?!”
If Nan Zhi did not know of Yan Hua’s condition, she would have objected to her getting back together with Bo Yan.
After all, Bo Yan had hurt her too much.
However, her heart was in a bad condition right now and only Bo Yan could help her.
Besides, she couldn’t forget Bo Yan completely as well.
Instead of hating him for an indefinite period, she might as well give him another chance.
Nan Zhi hugged Yan Hua, looking at her with heartache. “It’s because I’m your best friend, that’s why I want to see you be happy.”
Yan Hua opened her mouth, unable to say anything when the bedroom door was pushed open from outside.
The man carrying the lily bouquet appeared in front of Yan Hua and Nan Zhi.
Yan Hua stared blankly at Bo Yan.
Didn’t… he leave already?
The two of them stared at each other for a few seconds, before Bo Yan suddenly walked towards her.
Although he still limped slightly because of his injured leg, the strong aura on him was not any less imposing.
Especially when he was wearing a military uniform, the stiff lines of the uniform making him appear more lean and handsome.
Looking at him with such a short distance between them, Yan Hua’s eyes sparkled, feeling the blood within her rush towards her thumping heart uncontrollably.
She looked down, her eyes landing on the man’s military pants and leather shoes.
Nan Zhi understood the situation and left the bedroom, leaving the space for the two of them.
“Bo Yan, I thought that I was very clear. No matter what the truth is, I will not reinstate our marriage.” Yan Hua turned around, facing Bo Yan with her back. “I won’t stop you from visiting Little Apple, but please stop talking about a future between us.”
The atmosphere in the room immediately turned tense and stiff.
No one spoke. Only the sounds of their breathing could be heard.
Once again, Bo Yan did not leave because of her rejection.
Of course, his heart was hurt and heavy from her cold rejection.
Remembering his cold and distant attitude towards her when she liked him, she must have felt like this too.
Every dog had its day. It was finally his turn to get the taste of not being loved.
Bo Yan stared at the woman’s slender back, his lips moving. “Huahua, turn around please. I won’t force you, I’ll leave after saying something else.”
Hearing this, Yan Hua turned around and the two of them faced each other.
Bo Yan’s straight figure suddenly took a step forward.
With a distance that was neither too far nor too close between them, he stared at her intently, his low and magnetic voice ringing, “I love you.”
Yan Hua immediately looked up at him in disbelief.
His narrow eyes were as dark as the night sky, an emotion she wasn’t able to handle swarming in them.
Yan Hua trembled immensely, unable to stop the fluttering in her heart.
She stared at him, not moving for a long while.
In her daze, the three words he had said felt extremely unreal to her.
Gauging her reaction, Bo Yan suddenly knelt down on one knee. Rummaging his pockets, he took out a pretty and exquisitely-made diamond ring.
“Huahua, you might not believe me if I told you that from the first time I saw you, I felt you were different from the other girls. I love you, not because of you appearance, but because of your personality.
“I didn’t dare to respond to your feelings in the past because I wasn’t able to get over myself and fall in love with my enemy’s daughter. However, I forgot that love cannot be controlled…”
His voice was low and magnetic, laced with a firmness and gentle affection towards Yan Hua. “I remember there’s a saying that life is a subtraction, because meeting once would mean meeting one time less in the future. To be honest, I don’t really like this saying. Why can’t we say that life is an addition? That meeting would mean that we have a little more time together, that we have the chance to make more memories together? I want to be able to see you from the moment I open my eyes in the morning. I want to travel the world with you, I want to bring you back on our honeymoon that both of us had regrets towards…”
Yan Hua cupped her ears with her hands, tears flowing from her eyes uncontrollably.
“Stop, please stop speaking.” Her heart was trembling and hopeful from Bo Yan’s words. However, her rationality was telling her to not be moved by him so easily. “Bo Yan, I have a heart condition that you know as well. My life is fated to be short, and I don’t deserve to have love and a marriage. Please find another person that suits you…”
She had not finished speaking when the man placed the diamond ring on her ring finger.
Yan Hua wanted to take off the ring and return it to him, but Little Apple’s soft murmurs trailed from the door suddenly. “Papa…”
The nanny was carrying Little Apple as she stood by the door. “This girl started calling for her Papa the moment she woke up. Huahua, since Young Master knows of his mistake and is willing to change for the better, you should accept him!”
Yan Hua’s lips were trembling. “Did he feed all of you any medicine to control all of you? Why are all of you starting to speak for him?”
“Sister-in-law, although our Boss is a little dense sometimes, but he’s really good in all the other areas. Please accept him!”
Behind the nanny, a group of cute warriors appeared suddenly.
“Accept him! Accept him!”
Yan Hua looked down at the ring on her slender finger. She then glanced at the man kneeling with one knee on the floor with blurry eyes filled with tears, biting her lips. “I’ll keep the ring first, but regarding the issue about reinstating our marriage, I still have to see your performance. Bo Yan, you have never wooed me before, so I’ll give you three months. If you can move my heart, we’ll reinstate our marriage.”
