Huang Zhenzhen stood tall on the reef. In the cold moonlight, in Fang Ruiyang's eyes, she in her long dress was as holy and beautiful as a moon goddess.
He knelt on the ground, looking up at the girl who was like a beam of light shining into his dark life. With a face full of devotion, he held out the ring that had grown a bit warm in his hand.
He had bought it secretly in a gold store when they went shopping for gifts in the mall today, seizing the moment when she went to the restroom. It had cost him all the money he had. It was the most expensive gift he could afford with his current means. He also knew that if he handed over the evidence that Lei Ke was the mole to Pei Mingyuan, he could get 20 million, but by then it would be too late.
He wanted to propose to the girl he loved most today, before their operation, taking advantage of this opportunity and the atmosphere.
"My dear Zhenzhen, I'm so sorry that because of my identity, I can't kneel on one knee in front of everyone. If I could, I'd love to let you feel the envious looks of being surrounded by everyone like Daisa."
"I'm also sorry for dragging you into this mess. When I took you to see Mom in the hospital ward today, she slapped me hard and called me a bastard. She said people like me shouldn't fall in love and ruin your life. Even Mom could see that you're a wonderful girl, and someone like me doesn't deserve you at all."
As he spoke, he choked with sobs. Huang Zhenzhen's eyes were also filled with tears. She wanted to jump off the reef to help her boyfriend up, but he stopped her.
"Please listen to me to the end, okay, Zhenzhen?" he said gently.
Huang Zhenzhen had no choice but to stay where she was.
In fact, after two months of growth, Fang Ruiyang's eyes were very different from the dull look they used to have. There was a glimmer of vitality in them, making him come alive.
He said, "I know that with my identity, I really don't deserve you. If it were the old me, I would surely stay far away from you and never have any more interaction with you. But after being with you, I've felt the positive and wonderful things from you and everyone around us. Everyone around us loves life and cherishes it so much, and slowly, there's hope in my heart."
"I want to tell Mom and everyone in the world that I had nothing at first, but I will surely work hard. I will strive to become rich from having nothing. I will work hard to make my mother recover. Even if she can't fully recover, at least I can make her suffer less. I will also work hard to give you a life where you don't have to worry about anything. I will do my best to care for you and protect you, and spoil you like a princess for the rest of your life."
"Zhenzhen, thank you for walking into my life without hesitation, and thank you for your understanding and tolerance. I want to be your husband and live with you forever. Will you marry me and spend the rest of your life with me?"
How could Huang Zhenzhen refuse him? As soon as he finished speaking, she couldn't wait to jump off the reef. She grabbed the hand that was holding the ring and said excitedly, "I will! Please get up quickly. The sand here is rough and there are broken shells. They might scratch your knees!"
What a silly girl. Even at this moment, she was still thinking about him. He remembered that night when he shielded her from the punches of her scumbag ex - boyfriend. She was extremely terrified at that time, and although he had told her to leave quickly, she had insisted on staying because she was worried about him.
In fact, this kind of pain meant nothing to him. If he couldn't even bear this much pain, how could he claim that he was capable of going against Zhao Quanjing and giving her and his mother a happy future?
He firmly continued to kneel on one knee and held her fingers tightly in return. He carefully put the ring he had bought on her ring finger. The ring was chosen perfectly. It fit snugly on her finger without any extra space, nor was it too tight to make her uncomfortable.
Under the moonlight, although the diamond on the ring was very small, at this moment, in Huang Zhenzhen's eyes, it was as bright as the morning star.
Huang Zhenzhen was already in floods of tears the moment the ring was put on. He got up from the ground following her pulling force. Huang Zhenzhen threw herself into his arms, and the two hugged tightly on the beach, inseparable.
Although this proposal had no audience and was doomed not to be announced to the public, the sea and the moon together sent their most sincere blessings to this loving couple who faced a tough road ahead.
The two didn't hug for long. Soon they let go of each other. Fang Ruiyang wiped the tears from Huang Zhenzhen's face and said gently, "After everything is settled, let's go get the marriage certificate and hold the wedding, okay? After all, if we want to get the marriage certificate, my identity will surely be exposed."
Huang Zhenzhen nodded vigorously. "It's okay with me. I can wait no matter how long it takes."
Then, she smiled. "Actually, I also want to tell you something. I was afraid you wouldn't agree before, but now I think it's the best choice."
"What is it?" Fang Ruiyang asked.
"Please promise me first."
Fang Ruiyang was suspicious, but he still agreed. "I promise. Tell me."
"Do you still remember when I decided to be with you, I said I could do something to help you? At first, I thought acting with you in front of Zhao Quanjing was the limit of what I could do. But after going to the hospital to see your mother today, I found that I could do a lot more."
"Mr. Yan has arranged a hospital in Jincheng for your mother, but have you ever thought about what will happen to her after she gets there? Hire a nurse? But can those nurses take care of her meticulously? So, I want to go to Jincheng with her. I will take good care of her as your daughter - in - law, so that you can deal with Zhao Quanjing in Haicheng without any worries."
Fang Ruiyang just stared at her and was silent for a very long time, so long that Huang Zhenzhen started to feel nervous. She couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong with you? You've already promised. Don't you want to go back on your word? You said you'd marry me, but now you're starting to disobey your wife. Humph!"
To ease the atmosphere, she even deliberately made a joke.
Fang Ruiyang said, "I just want to look at you for a while longer."
"Jincheng is far from Haicheng. Once you go there, I won't be able to see you for a long time. Let me take a good look at you while I still have the time."
When the two left the beach and returned to Xu Zixi and Yan Yincheng's villa, most of the people had already left. Only Wang Dabao's family and a few bodyguards were left cleaning up.
After asking, they found out that Wei Shu was responsible for sending Daisa home, and Brother Hu was responsible for sending Li Mao's family and Zhou Yaru. Seeing this, Fang Ruiyang also said goodbye to Xuanxuan and Xuxu and left with Huang Zhenzhen.
Inside the villa, at this moment, Wang Dabao was hugging the table leg tightly and crying, "No, no, Daddy, I don't want to leave!"
