Chapter 1199: Of Course

You She couldnt help choking up. She had to take deep breaths to calm herself down. Youve guessed what I wanted long ago, havent you? Why did you have to wait so long I didnt have much hope.

No, its because I promised you I would give you a better diamond ring. The man chuckled. I just had the ring yesterday. I dont dare delay it anymore.

Ye Shengge hadnt expected that reason. She looked at the diamond ring subconsciously, as if it was indeed different from the one he had given her last time. However, she couldnt observe it carefully from a distance.

Ji s.h.i.+ting seemed to read her mind, and his smile widened. If you want to see it, its yours as long as you say yes.

Ye Shengge bit her lips and said, Were already husband and wife. Can I say no?

Ji s.h.i.+ting paused for a bit and said, You can say no. Since Im proposing, you have the right to reject me.

Ye Shengge was shocked.

Shengge, I used to be conceited and arrogant. I was already interested in you, but I refused to lower myself. Even our marriage was orchestrated by me. You just accepted the outcome because you had no choice, the man said slowly. Ive never asked you whether you would still be willing to marry me and be my wife without any interests or worries. This proposal is too late, but I have to give you a choice.

Ye Shengge bit her lips, afraid that she would cry. She choked and said, Arent Arent you afraid that Ill really reject you?

He frowned and smiled. Thats alright. I can pursue you again, and this time, there wont be any lies or schemes.

Ye Shengge couldnt help tearing up.

You know how much I love you, and we have two kids. Even if I reject you, Ill still return to you in the end.

She sounded coquettish rather than resentful.

Yes. Ji s.h.i.+ting smiled and kissed the back of her hand. I have to say, Im very lucky about that. So, whats your answer?

Ye Shengge blinked away her tears.

The man who was kneeling on one knee finally became clear again. He had been in this position for a while, but he was still very stable and seemed to be very patient.

She resisted the urge to say Yes and coughed. Im still thinking about it.

Ji s.h.i.+ting chuckled and scratched her palm.

Shengge, I love you, he said and stared at her. I love your beautiful appearance and bright smile. I love how you wont leave me, and I love your patience and gentleness for the two kids, but I love your pursuit of career and pa.s.sion more. I love your tenacious and independent soul. I want to be with me. Youre not just my wife, but the mother of Jinchen and Jinqing, and the one and only Ye Shengge. Meeting you is the luckiest thing in my life.

Ye Shengges vision blurred again. She covered her lips with her right hand, but she still couldnt suppress her trembling.

Then, again. Ji s.h.i.+tings voice became hoa.r.s.e. Are you willing to marry me?
