Chapter 118 I do
Pei Yizhou admits that he is not someone who can have a normal relationship and get married.
What's more, he and Lin Lu had encountered too many setbacks along the way. The first time he proposed to her, he encountered something that would cause him a lifetime of pain. During those seven years, if one of them couldn't hold on, they would have really been separated forever.
So he was very anxious about this proposal.
Which location should be chosen to be safe and one that Lin Lu likes?
What kind of ring would be the icing on the cake?
How can I say it to impress Lin Lu?
How should the proposal ceremony be planned so that Lin Lu can agree to him?
Should they really take this step? What if Lin Lu doesn't want to?
He has not yet been qualified to spend the night in the master bedroom. Even though he can stay with Lin Lu for a long time every day, he still has some lingering panic.
Lin Lu’s love is too hard to see and too hard to measure.
He couldn't be sure to what extent she loved him and whether it was enough for him to propose to her successfully.
He was worried, nervous, and terrified. He didn't even dare to make the decision on his own about choosing a place, fearing that this shaky relationship would collapse because of his ignorance.
But Lin Lu spoke too naturally. She didn't tease him by asking him if he wanted to give her a surprise, nor did she happily cooperate with him in choosing a place as she did in the past. Instead, she proposed and agreed in a very homely manner.
It was like giving him time to go to the supermarket and buy a bag of fruit, plain and ordinary.
But it brought him a sense of security: bring an umbrella when it rains, shake off the dust when you go home, and feel the scorching sun as heavy as water.
Pei Yizhou raised his head from Lin Lu's neck, pinched her face and looked at her.
"What did you just say?" he asked softly.
Lin Lu puffed up her cheeks and pushed his hand away, saying, "Your attitude and words are very similar to what you said seven or eight years ago, okay? I'm not a fool."
"But……"
"The HR manager talked to me a few days ago and asked me if I had any plans to get married in the near future and how I would balance my family and career in the future. I was going to tell her that I might get married this year, but it would definitely not affect my work..."
Pei Yizhou stopped her from making any official remarks with a kiss.
He used his arms to lift the person up and put him on his waist, kissing her all the way until they sat on the sofa.
After kissing until both of them were out of breath, he held Lin Lu's face, forehead against forehead, stroking it carefully, and asked: "Lu Lu, are you really willing?"
Lin Lu thought seriously: "Should I answer now that I am willing?"
"..." He laughed softly, his chest trembling, and then hugged her tightly, "You can say 'I do' later, but I want to hear you say another word."
"I love you."
Pei Yizhou was stunned again.
Lin Lu asked back: "Don't you want to hear these three words?"
"...Yes." Pei Yizhou suddenly felt a sore nose, which made his vision a little blurry. He suddenly couldn't find the words to say. He opened his mouth and just breathed, suppressing the sob in his throat.
In the end, I could only keep kissing her and keep saying, "I love you, too. I love you very much. I will only love you in this life."
I crave your love, your hands, your kiss, your body, and all your eyes and attention.
I only desire you.
—
Although it had been speculated long ago, the timing of the final proposal was indeed beyond Lin Lu's expectations.
Pei Yizhou chose the place he thought was the safest - right at home.
After get off work on Friday, they discussed what to eat for dinner as usual. Pei Yizhou opened the door, and the lights inside suddenly came on, illuminating a sea of roses.
The ring box was placed in the middle of the sea of flowers, next to the most beautiful rose. The orange-pink padparadscha sapphires were clustered on golden branches. The complex beauty under the light dazzled Lin Lu. She walked closer and stared at it for a long time. Pei Yizhou asked beside her, "Do you like it?"
Lin Lu nodded honestly: "It's really beautiful."
Pei Yizhou breathed a sigh of relief, as if praising the ring for its beauty meant that he agreed that he had the right to kneel down and propose to her.
Then he knelt on one knee, his back straight, took the ring and held out his hand to her.
It's time to say something sentimental, but the words are in my heart and I can't say them when I open my mouth. My Adam's apple keeps rolling as I swallow.
Lin Lu put her hand on his palm and said, "You can give your acceptance speech now. If you really can't say it, you can follow me and take the oath."
"what?"
"After marriage, you will work and live normally. You will be responsible for washing clothes, cooking and washing dishes. It is also your responsibility to earn money to support the family and hire a cleaner, a nanny and a childcare sitter. You cannot lose your temper, throw things, scold me or bully me, interrupt my work, be suspicious, ignore or reject every suggestion of mine, have no contact with other women, and treat anyone with the same care as you treat me..."
She talked about the precautions for three minutes straight, and finally outlined the punishment for violators.
"If you break any of these rules, we brothers and sisters won't be able to do this. Do you understand?"
Pei Yizhou suppressed his swell of emotions and nodded in agreement: "I will never go against you."
Lin Lu held out her hand in front of him: "Then wear the ring."
Pei Yizhou did as he was told subconsciously, but then he realized: "I haven't asked you yet... Lulu, are you willing to marry me? We will continue to depend on each other for the remaining decades, and no one can leave the other."
It was at this moment that the complex feeling of being proposed to emerged. The cut facets of the gemstone reflected gorgeous and fragmented light, like fragments of memory of things that happened in the past.
Lin Lu remembered that when she was eleven or twelve years old, her mother told her that in the future she must marry a man who "loves you more than you love him". If not, it doesn't matter, after all, only a small number of people in this world can talk about "love". It would be fine to find someone with a good temper and who can do housework.
Pei Yizhou doesn't have a good temper towards outsiders. The housework is done by the cleaning lady on a regular basis, and she doesn't share much of the responsibility.
But it is hard to find someone who loves her as madly as Pei Yizhou, all his emotions revolve around her and he is willing to do anything for her.
She was distracted for only two seconds, looking at Pei Yizhou's burning eyes, and nodded slowly: "I do."
The ring was smoothly put on her ring finger.
The cold jewelry was slowly heated up by her body temperature until it no longer felt like a foreign body. Pei Yizhou kissed her fingertips from the base to the tip, and finally sucked them.
She could feel his rapid breathing, so she patted his chin with her hand.
"The story can't just end with me saying yes, right? Shouldn't you have said anything more?"
"Thank you for treating me as your brother back then, and thank you for treating me as your lover now."
Lin Lu couldn't help laughing: "Are you sending a thank-you letter?"
"Then what do you want to hear? I'll tell you everything." Pei Yizhou looked up and smiled at her.
"Forget it," she thought for a moment and said, "You should leave something to say at my parents' grave."
She wanted to withdraw her hand and declare the proposal over.
But Pei Yizhou did not let go. He said "Okay" and stared at her, then lowered his head to kiss her fingertips again.
From the ring finger to the palm, then to the wrist, and finally stood up and kissed her lips.
He had a hundred ways to please her, and kissing her until she staggered back but was then pressed tightly into his arms was one of them.
"You're right. A proposal really shouldn't end with you nodding. Can you give me a chance? I'll make you feel comfortable."
