It was obvious that Jiang Wenfang’s accusation was unreasonable. She clearly wanted to put Ye Yan in a difficult position.
She was the one who had chosen this topic from the beginning. When she had asked him when he had learned that Su He was pregnant, Ye Yan had answered her that he had no idea that Su He was pregnant at that time.
Little had he thought that Jiang Wenfang would in turn, use his statement as her strongest weapon to rebuke him.
When Su He heard this, her entire body shook. This was because Jiang Wenfang had spoken up about the things that she had been concerned about the most.
Su He clearly knew that Ye Yan had forgotten about her before she was pregnant. He had forgotten about their past. As such, she often appeared and behaved nonchalantly in front of him.
However, after he learned that she was pregnant with his child, Ye Yan had made a 180-degree change. He treated her passionately and intimately, as if he had never forgotten about her.
Therefore, she could not tell if he had truly remembered her or, the reason he treated her well and wanted to make up for the accidental pregnancy by taking up the responsibility was because of the child inside her womb.
When Ye Yan heard Jiang Wenfang’s accusation, his immediate reaction was to turn around and look at Su He. Within his expectation, there was a hint of fear and a shake of faith in Su He’s eyes. Ye Yan felt heartbroken, as if his heart had been stung.
He was aware that Xiao Qi would no longer believe in him unconditionally like before for a variety of reasons. She would no longer regard him as her most trusted ally. However, when he saw with his own eyes the hint of wariness and fear in Su He’s eyes, he felt like there was a hole in his heart. He felt extremely sad and at the same time, he was the cause of everything, and he had no one to blame for.
Ye Yan fell silent for some time before he blurted out in a muffled voice, “No.”
“What’s with no?”
Ye Yan looked up and stared into Jiang Wenfang’s eyes as he enunciated each and every word clearly, “I don’t like Xiao Qi because of the child inside her womb. I show concern for her because of the fact that the child comes from me and her. Without Xiao Qi, I would rather abandon the child!”
In other words, Ye Yan would rather abandon the child than lose Su He.
Ye Yan’s words were delivered with such force that everyone on the spot was dumbfounded.
While the crowd was in their dazes, Ye Yan pursed his lips. He seized the opportunity to turn around and walk toward Su He.
Su He was still trapped in the trance of Ye Yan’s words. By the time she snapped out of her daze, Ye Yan was approaching her. Her heart skipped a beat. The rationality in her mind was gone. She felt like she was nailed to the floor and could not move.
Under the dumbfounded stares of the crowd, Ye Yan slowly approached Su He. The corners of his lips curled upward, and a dull thud was heard. He kneeled on one knee and presented Su He with a large bouquet of roses. When Su He saw the gleaming diamond ring dangling from the roses, he said with a smile, “Xiao Qi, would you marry me?”
The dumbfounded people had been stunned by Ye Yan’s words and were now frozen in place as they watched Ye Yan’s action.
As Zhao Youlin was greeted by such an envious sight, she lamented, “How romantic… How come you didn’t propose to me like this before we got married?”
As she gave it a thought, she remembered that Han Yichen drove a helicopter and proposed to An Yue.
Ye Yan was now holding a large bouquet of roses, a diamond ring, and kneeled on one knee to propose to Su He.
Mu Tingfeng, on the other hand, did nothing. He had decided to take all his actions without prior approval by making a public announcement about their wedding after they had confirmed their relationship. Her diamond ring was also given to her later in life.
They were all men, but why was there such a big difference between them? Was this the difference between a faithful and a stubborn man?
Apparently, Mu Tingfeng realized this as well. Before this, he thought that it was unnecessary to propose a marriage. However, he later regretted his decision. He suggested to Zhao Youlin, “How about I go back and propose to you again?”
The corners of Zhao Youlin’s lips twitched upon hearing his words. She said nonchalantly, “There’s no need. It’s just the complaints of the little girl in me.”
‘What’s the point of proposing to me at this point? We’re already married and laid down together. Don’t you think it’s too late to make up for your proposal at this time? Could you please stop putting the cart before the horse, as you have done in the past?’
Zhao Youlin’s heart had gone berserk. Su He, on the other hand, was not at ease.
Her heart raced the moment she was greeted by the sight of the roses and the person’s eyes filled with determination. Her mind went blank, and she was unable to think clearly.
Ye Yan did not force her despite Su He remaining quiet. He gave a faint smile, looked her in the eyes and said softly, “I told you to wait for me, and I’ll come back to you. Now… I’ve returned to you, Xiao Qi.”
Ye Yan’s brief reply was like an all-purpose key that could easily unlock the door inside Su He’s heart.
For a brief moment, Su He had the impression that she had returned to that night. “Wait for me,” Ye Yan said, echoed in her ears.
The next thing she knew, she was transported back in time ten years. They were in the courtyard at the time. He had promised her under the moonlight that when he grew up, he would return to look for her. He… arrived today.
The child inside Su He’s womb appeared to have felt its mother’s tumultuous feeling at that moment. It moved its tiny limbs and made a small bump on Su He’s swollen belly.
Su He’s attention had been successfully drawn back by the child’s actions. She stroked her belly gently, as if to reassure the frightened child. She then closed her eyes and took a deep breath before opening her eyes to face the man in front of her. “I’m actually a very timid person.”
Ye Yan was stunned. He vaguely figured out what Su He wanted to say. But he did not interrupt her and let her continue.
“I am a timid person. After going through so much before this, I couldn’t… trust you like I used to. Similarly, I couldn’t possibly fall for you without caring much less about others like I used to. I would no longer put you as my priority. Do you still want me to marry you despite these terms?”
Ye Yan made a shaky motion with his head. He looked down and smiled. “All of this is irrelevant to me as long as you are by my side. This time, allow me to trust in you unconditionally, to love you unconditionally, and to put you as my priority.”
Ye Yan took a deep breath and looked into Su He’s eyes. He had taken on a new level of seriousness. He was not going to let her avoid him this time. “Xiao Qi, this time, I won’t make a promise to you about how well I’ll treat you for the rest of your life, nor will I keep my promise for all eternity. Instead, we’ll have a lifetime for you to slowly watch and feel my kindness, my concern, as well as… my love for you..”
