âHe Ming, I want Xiaomeng to marry me. Iâll take good care of her and make her happy,â He Ming said earnestly.
Father Ye and Mother Ye smiled, feeling reassured. After all, He Ming had a plan and intended to marry Xiaomeng.
âI disagree,â Xiaomengâs voice suddenly rang out.
âXiaomengâ¦â Mother Yeâs voice raised a bit. Finally, after much anticipation, they had a resolution, but Xiaomeng unexpectedly disagreed.
It seemed childish for someone who was already pregnant to act so stubbornly.
âMom, I need to talk to He Ming about something,â Xiaomeng said, then turned to He Ming. âLetâs go to my room and talk.â
Though He Ming anticipated Xiaomengâs opposition, he still felt a pang of sadness when she voiced it.
Once the door closed behind them, Xiaomeng put some distance between herself and He Ming.
âXiaomengâ¦â He Ming began.
âHe Ming, have you ever respected my wishes? Why do you think Iâll agree to your proposal? Because of the baby?â Xiaomeng said calmly.
âI love you, Xiaomeng. There have been many things happening lately, and itâs all my fault. Forgive me, please? Give me a chance,â He Ming pleaded.
âYou donât understand what I want at all. If we get married, can you promise to always be faithful?â Xiaomeng asked.
âI can,â He Ming answered without hesitation. Since the recent events, he had gained deep insights.
Suddenly, He Ming knelt before Xiaomeng and pulled out a jewelry box from his pocket. Gently opening it, he revealed a sparkling ring inside.
He brought the box closer to Xiaomeng and said affectionately, âMengmeng, marry me. I will make you happy.â
Seeing him kneel before her, Xiaomeng couldnât help but feel moved. After all, a man on his knees was precious, indicating sincerity.
âWith your mom being so opposed, are you sure you want to marry me?â Xiaomeng still had many concerns. Dealing with a strained relationship with her mother-in-law wouldnât be easy for He Ming either.
âI already told her before I came here: itâs you or no one else,â He Mingâs attitude was firmer than ever.
âAre you really ready? Not just because of the baby?â Xiaomeng asked repeatedly.
âSince the day I met you, Iâve been waiting for this moment,â He Ming said, picking up the ring and slowly sliding it onto Xiaomengâs finger.
Seeing his sincerity, Xiaomeng hesitantly agreed.
âBut if something similar happens again, Iâll leave, and I wonât give you another chance,â Xiaomengâs words shook He Ming to the core, and he nodded.
He wouldnât make the same mistake again.
After smoothly putting on the ring, He Ming stood up and tightly embraced Xiaomeng, spinning her around twice.
âPut me down, I feel nauseous and want to throw up,â Xiaomeng screamed.
âSorry, how are you feeling? Iâm just so happy,â He Mingâs eyes sparkled.
âDonât you know I get dizzy?â Xiaomeng pouted.
âIâll remember next time,â He Ming finally looked at Xiaomeng seriously. âPlease guide me, Madam He.â
Xiaomeng was suddenly taken aback by his address, feeling shy.
âHello, Mr. He. Please guide me,â Xiaomeng, usually laid-back, became more refined.
The two gazed at each other affectionately, and He Ming bent down, placing a kiss on Xiaomengâs lips.
As they emerged, He Ming held Xiaomengâs hand, and Mother Ye smiled knowingly at the ring on her finger, finally breathing a sigh of relief.
