Gu Wencheng didn’t speak. Upset, he kept looking at Meng Nianyao, his hands clenched by his side.
“Gu Wencheng, the moment you locked me up, I felt that we weren’t equals.” Meng Nianyao’s eyes were red as she looked at Gu Wencheng and said, “I’ve always thought that the two of us…” We were equal in terms of feelings, but now I feel that it’s not like that at all…”
“Nianyao, I’m sorry…” Gu Wencheng’s heart ached. Meng Nianyao’s every word was like a knife stabbing into his heart. He reached out, wanting to wipe the tears off her face. However, he hesitated for a while, not daring to move. “Nianyao, I’m the bastard here. I deserve to die. I promise you, I won’t do it again.”
The lights in the office were all in warm colors to set off the atmosphere. Meng Nianyao had only wanted an apology. After getting one, she didn’t seem to have any reason to be angry anymore. However, for some reason, after receiving this apology, she still seemed unhappy. She suddenly didn’t know what she wanted, or what she cared about. And so, she pursed her lips and smiled faintly before nodding. “Alright, I understand.” As soon as she finished speaking, the lights in the office suddenly lit up, and petals fell from the sky.
“Nianyao.” Gu Wencheng called.
“Hmm?” Meng Nianyao subconsciously looked down and saw Gu Wencheng kneeling on one knee in front of her. He was holding a jewelry box with both hands. Inside the box was a ring. Because of the light, the diamonds on the ring were shining.
Meng Nianyao was stunned and didn’t come back to her senses. She stared blankly at Gu Wencheng in front of her, her eyes gradually turning red.
“Nianyao, will you marry me?” Gu Wencheng looked at Meng Nianyao with a smile on his face. He had never thought that one day he would plan a marriage proposal to please a girl.
Meng Nianyao didn’t say anything. No one knew whether she was unwilling or just confused.
“Mrs. Gu?” Gu Wencheng shouted, his palms slightly sweaty. Meng Nianyao still didn’t say anything. Gu Wencheng took the ring out of the box, took Meng Nianyao’s hand, and put the ring on her ring finger. “Even if you don’t want to, there’s no chance for you to regret it.”
It was then that Meng Nianyao came back to her senses. She looked at the ring on her hand and then at Gu Wencheng, who was kneeling on the ground, then suddenly cried and laughed. “Who would propose like you? You’re like a robber.” Even so, she still reached out and pulled Gu Wencheng up. He stood up and pulled Meng Nianyao into his arms, kissing her hair.” I don’t know how other people propose, but you’re mine. You can only be mine.”
When Meng Nianyao heard these words, her heart felt like it was filled with honey. When she came back to her senses, she found that Gu Wencheng had already taken her downstairs. She looked down and saw that her hand was completely tucked into Gu Wencheng’s coat sleeve. The warmth from her palm, coupled with the snowy weather, made her feel at ease.
Gu Wencheng held Meng Nianyao’s hand tightly and felt the ring on her finger. It was very suitable for Mrs. Gu. This was Gu Wencheng’s wife, his Mrs. Gu. During this quarrel, he had a cold war with Meng Nianyao. He remembered Grandma saying that Meng Nianyao was introverted and had low self-esteem, and told him not to mistreat her. She’d also said that Meng Nianyao should have what everyone else has, and maybe even more than them.
Meng Nianyao’s palm was very hot. Because Gu Wencheng had been holding her hand in his sleeve, even the ring was warm. After getting into the car, Meng Nianyao looked down at the ring on her finger. She couldn’t believe it. The proposal just now felt like a dream.
“You don’t like it?” Gu Wencheng saw Meng Nianyao looking down at the ring and pursed his lips, thinking that she didn’t like the style of the ring. He had taken a fancy to the ring because it was inlaid with broken diamonds. It wasn’t too glamorous, and the ring could be engraved with a name.
“I like it. It’s very nice.” Meng Nianyao smiled.
The little happiness was that the person she loved also happened to love her.
Gu Wencheng and Meng Nianyao returned to the old house. Grandma Gu saw the two of them walking in hand in hand. Meng Nianyao’s eyes were smiling and couldn’t hide her happiness. She knew that the two of them had reconciled. “You’re back?” she asked with a smile. “Why are you back so early today?”
“I didn’t have anything to give you during the New Year, so I came back first.” Meng Nianyao wanted to pull her hand away from Gu Wencheng’s palm, but Gu Wencheng seemed to know what she was thinking and deliberately held it tightly. Meng Nianyao looked up at Gu Wencheng and signaled him to let go, to which he looked at her with a smile in his eyes..
