“We have gone through a lot to finally be together, but then our paths diverged once more. During that difficult period, I often wonder if we were destined to never meet each other again.”
Huo Chen looked straight at Wen He. Then, he walked one step after another toward her in the quiet event hall.
“In the end, I realized that I was wrong. All my so-called principles become irrelevant when it comes to her, because…”
He stood in front of Wen He and looked down into her eyes that were opened wide in surprise.
“I love her.”
“…”
Wen He gaped and stared blankly at him.
Slowly, Huo Chen went down on one knee and took out the diamond ring that she returned to him. He had kept it with him all this time despite hating the sight of it back then.
“Wen He, this is my second time asking for your hand. Let me state this clearly again that I want to marry you and spend the rest of my life with you. Will you be Huo Chen’s wife? Will you spend the rest of your life by my side?”
“…”
Wen He was overwhelmed.
She looked around her and found that the military big shots sitting around them were not staring back disapprovingly.
Even Yang Yi looked comfortably seated, and was that eagerness she read in his face?
Wen He was shocked and puzzled.
Could they accept this?
The fact was, Gu Jinzhi’s death had shattered her world and she did not want to marry Huo Chen so soon after his demise.
“Huo Chen, I…”
She wanted to reject him, but then Huo Chen put a finger on his lips and looked at her with eyes that spelled kindness and understanding.
“Not a word. I understand. I was just getting a little impatient with marrying you. We will have the rest of our lives to deal with everything else.”
Wen He was touched.
She was about to speak again when Huo Chen leaned in and whispered very quietly to her.
“All the decision makers in the military are here. I will be utterly embarrassed if you reject me now. Do me a favour, will you, dear?”
“…”
She narrowed her eyes at him.
Was this his intention all along?
He left her no choice.
On the other hand, Wen He felt gratitude for his consideration of her.
She closed her eyes and recalled everything they had gone through.
When she opened her eyes, the man of her dreams was kneeling in front of her.
She slowly extended her right and replied with a smile, “Yes, I will.”
The man’s eyes sparkled like the clear night sky.
He gently put the ring on her finger and whispered again with a hint of warning, “If you take this off again, I will never forgive you.”
“…”
Wen He nearly choked.
How could he change his attitude so quickly?
She should not have agreed to his proposal so easily!
Clap clap clap!
Suddenly, the hall rang with another round of applause.
Under Yang Yi’s lead, the audience clapped their hands by way of blessing the couple.
Wen He was surprised and looked down at the twinkling diamond right on her finger. Her eyes glistened with tears of joy.
The marriage was decided. Huo Chen wanted to organize their wedding immediately, but Yang Yi reminded him of something else that took precedence.
One evening, Huo Chen brought an oblivious Wen He to the national television channel office for a live interview.
