Special forces soldier demobilization: Starting from the county government compound, a meteoric rise

Faced with Xi Wanqing's reproachful words, which were tinged with tears yet utterly rational, Liu Ming smiled.

That smile was warm enough to melt away the entire late autumn of Beijing.

He remained kneeling on one knee, head tilted back, gazing intently at the woman before him, whose makeup had been ruined by his tears, with eyes brimming with starlight and tenderness.

"Impact?" Liu Ming's voice wasn't loud, but it carried an unparalleled domineering aura capable of eclipsing the heavens and earth. "In my life, I, Liu Ming, have fought wars, killed people, fought corrupt officials, and brought down traitors... What kind of impact haven't I seen?"

"I dare to pierce the heavens, why would I be afraid of this little bit of public opinion?"

"I want the whole world to know that you, Xi Wanqing, are the woman I, Liu Ming, have chosen. Anyone who dares to utter a single word against it will come looking for me."

"As for the organization..." He paused, a wicked smile playing on his lips, "Don't worry, I'll hand over this 'relationship report' first thing tomorrow morning. I want to see which fool dares not approve it."

This domineering yet reassuring declaration completely shattered the last shred of reason and composure in Xi Wanqing's heart.

She looked at the man before her, the man who dared to defy the whole world for her sake.

Tears, once again, betrayed me and overflowed.

But this time, she didn't cover her mouth.

Amidst thunderous cheers of "Marry him!" throughout the city, and beneath a sky ablaze with dazzling fireworks, Xi Wanqing slowly, yet with unwavering determination, extended her left hand, which trembled slightly with excitement.

This action speaks louder than a thousand words.

"oh--!!!"

The crowd erupted in screams and whistles that were ten times louder than before!

At this moment, Liu Ming's heart felt as if it were being held tightly by a warm hand, filled with unprecedented satisfaction and peace.

He carefully, as if holding a rare treasure, grasped Xi Wanqing's slightly cool hand. Then, he took out the unique "Eternal Star" from the ring box.

The dazzling pink diamond, refracting a dreamlike light under the countless lights, seemed to gather the entire Milky Way at her fingertips, and then he gently and tenderly slipped it onto her ring finger.

The size is just right.

The moment the ring was put on, Liu Ming suddenly stood up and pulled Xi Wanqing tightly and fiercely into his arms!

He held her in his arms as if he wanted to embed her into his very bones, as if only in this way could he calm his heart, which was pounding violently with immense happiness.

"Waaah..."

Xi Wanqing buried her face deeply in his chest, feeling his strong heartbeat and listening to his slightly heavy breathing. At this moment, all the grievances, longing, worries, and love she had suppressed for ten years turned into silent tears, soaking the white shirt on his chest.

In her mind, scenes from the past flashed by like a movie.

The first time he handed her a document was from that leaky office in Qingyun County, when his fingertips touched hers.

On a brightly lit night in Ningzhou High-tech Zone, the two argued heatedly over a project, yet their tacit understanding was remarkable.

Then, back in that abandoned chemical plant in Jiangnan Province, he was covered in blood, descending like a god, his imposing figure rescuing her from the abyss of despair.

ten years.

She watched him grow from a marginalized demobilized soldier into the powerful and influential minister he is today.

Every step he took was fraught with thorns and bloodshed.

She could only stand behind him, silently worrying about him and praying for him.

She never imagined that this man, who carried the weight of the entire nation on his shoulders, would stop for her.

I would light up the whole city for her.

"Liu Ming..."

Xi Wanqing lifted her head from his embrace, her eyes, washed with tears, shining brightly. She reached out and gently, with boundless love, stroked his face, which looked somewhat thin from long-term hard work.

Her voice, thick with nasal tone, was filled with an unprecedented pride that could move heaven and earth.

"They all say that you are a national hero, the backbone of this country."

She paused, and the last tear of happiness slid down her cheek.

"But for me..."

"You are not only a national hero, but also my only hero."

These words were like the warmest light, instantly illuminating Liu Ming's entire soul!

He could no longer contain his excitement, and suddenly lowered his head to kiss those soft, red lips that he had longed for for ten years, lips that tasted salty with tears!

"Hmm!"

Amidst a sky ablaze with dazzling fireworks, thunderous cheers from across the city, and witnessed by media cameras worldwide, the two embraced and kissed passionately.

This kiss, devoid of any lust, was filled with a deep affection and tenderness accumulated over ten years, enough to melt away all obstacles.

It was as if they wanted to completely merge their souls into each other's lives.

For a long time, the lips are divided.

Their foreheads pressed tightly together, they breathed heavily, feeling each other's hot breaths.

Xi Wanqing's cheeks were as red as the sunset, and her clear, cool eyes were now misty with a hazy glow, making her incredibly beautiful.

Looking at the man before her, the man who had just made her the happiest woman in the world with a proposal of the century, she couldn't help but let a mischievous, sly smile, typical of a young woman, creep onto her lips.

"So...my hero, are we going home now?"
