The flirtatious girl is done flirting; Mr. He is now obsessed with her.

"Yi Shu..."

Bai Yishu watched as He Yun Shen got up and walked to her side, then suddenly knelt down on one knee and took out a ring box from his pocket.

He opened the ring box, revealing a dazzling diamond ring. The diamond sparkled under the light, and He Yun Shen's usually calm voice trembled slightly.

"The Bai family's crisis has been temporarily resolved, and you have begun to take over the company. Everything is moving in a positive direction."

He Yun took a deep breath and mustered the courage to look her directly into her eyes.

"So now, can you give me a chance? Let me be the one who spends my life with you."

"Yi Shu, will you marry me?"

Bai Yishu's hand was still on the edge of the plate when the fork slipped from her hand with a "clatter," the crisp sound particularly abrupt in the quiet private room.

She didn't even hear what He Yun Shen said after that; she only saw the huge diamond ring flashing in front of her, making her eyes sting.

Seeing her stunned, He Yun Shen's heart raced, and his hand holding the diamond ring trembled slightly, but he dared not make the slightest movement, afraid of breaking the atmosphere of the moment. His voice carried a hint of trepidation and anticipation.

"I know this may be a bit sudden for you, but I'm serious."

He Yun Shen's eyes were sincere and passionate as he closely observed her reaction.

"Yi Shu, I love you."

He spoke those three words very softly, each word seemingly emanating from the depths of his soul.

Bai Yishu's cheeks flushed. She stared stiffly at the man kneeling on one knee in front of her, his usually indifferent and aloof eyes now filled with tenderness.

Her mind went blank, leaving only a buzzing sound.

What did he just say? A marriage proposal? Was it the kind of proposal she understood?

Time seemed to stand still, each second becoming incredibly long. He Yun Shen looked at Bai Yi Shu's stunned expression, feeling both nervous and expectant.

He remained kneeling on one knee, his gaze never leaving Bai Yishu's eyes.

"I know you may need time to think about it, but I... I really hope your answer is yes."

Bai Yishu's lips trembled slightly, still unable to believe what she was seeing.

"Are you...are you sure?"

"Of course, I'm sure."

He Yun Shen was overjoyed to see that she had finally responded, and his eyes became even more determined.

"I've never been so sure before. Yi Shu, I love you, not for any other reason than because you are you."

He held the diamond ring aloft, motionless, as if declaring his resolve to the world; every word he uttered was filled with deep emotion.

So, will you marry me?

Bai Yishu nodded immediately, without the slightest hesitation.

"I do."

"real?"

A look of wild joy flashed in He Yun Shen's eyes. He could hardly believe his ears, and his voice choked slightly with excitement.

With trembling hands, he slipped the diamond ring onto Bai Yishu's ring finger. It was the perfect size, as if it had been made just for her.

The next second, He Yun Shen pulled her into his arms, his strength so great it felt like he wanted to meld her into his body, his chin resting on her neck, trembling slightly.

"You agreed, Yi Shu. You have no idea how long I've waited for this moment..."

Bai Yishu's vision blurred instantly, and tears welled up unexpectedly.

"Ugh... I'm going to cry."

"Don't cry, this is a happy occasion, you should be happy."

He Yunshen loosened his embrace, gently cupped her face in his hands, and wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes with his fingers.

Bai Yishu sniffed and revealed a tearful smile.

"I never expected you to propose to me so suddenly. I thought we had just gotten back together... You might need more time to define our relationship."

He Yun Shen chuckled softly, his eyes brimming with love.

"The moment we reconciled, I thought about marrying you. Yi Shu, I've already wasted too much time, and I don't want to wait any longer."

He straightened up, took her hand, and kissed it reverently.

"Now, you are finally mine."

"Will you regret it?"

"regret?"

He seemed to have heard something unbelievable, and laughed helplessly, but his eyes were extremely serious.

"The best decision I ever made in my life was falling in love with you. Yi Shu, I never do anything I'll regret, especially... things related to you."

He Yunshen spoke firmly, then his eyes flickered slightly, and he lightly tapped Bai Yishu's nose with his finger.

"But you, having agreed to marry me, have no chance to back out."

Bai Yishu grinned, her heart filled with boundless joy and happiness.

"it is good."

He Yun Shen smiled with satisfaction, lowered his head and gently kissed her forehead, then picked up a glass of red wine from the table, handed her one, and picked up a glass for himself, his eyes filled with a hint of fervent anticipation.

"So, shouldn't we celebrate now? For our future, and for my bride?"

He tilted his head back and downed the wine in his glass in one gulp, but his gaze remained fixed on Bai Yishu, filled with a possessive desire that seemed determined to win her over.

Bai Yishu took a sip of wine, put the glass back, and raised her hand to look at the ring.

"When did you prepare the ring?"

"Very early."

He Yun Shen gently took her hand, caressing the ring with tender and affectionate eyes.

"I had already made my choice long before we broke up. At that time, I always thought I would wait for the right time... Later, a lot of things happened, and this ring has been with me ever since, waiting for its owner."

He looked up at Bai Yishu, his eyes filled with deep affection.

"Now, it has finally gotten what it's been waiting for."

Bai Yishu's eyes dimmed slightly as she recalled what had happened before, and she tentatively asked, "What if we hadn't made up?"

There are no "ifs".

He Yun Shen pursed his lips slightly, his expression unusually stubborn.

"Yi Shu, even if it takes another ten or twenty years, I will wait until you come back to my side and I will personally put this ring on your hand."

Bai Yishu couldn't help but imagine what He Yunshen would look like twenty years from now, and she covered her mouth and teased, "You'll be an old man by then."

He Yun Shen was amused by her words, a hint of doting flashed in his eyes, and he pulled her into his arms.

"So what? Even if I become an old man, I will still be the old man who loves you."

"But by then, I'll be an old lady too."

"Then you'll be the most beautiful old lady."

He Yunshen's deep voice, tinged with amusement, loosened his grip on her slightly.

"When the time comes, I'll push you in a wheelchair to the park to bask in the sun. People will definitely envy me for having such a beautiful partner."

He Yun Shen glanced out the window, his eyes filled with anticipation for the future.

He seemed to suddenly remember something, and frowned in mock distress.

"But what if your memory gets bad by then and you forget that you're already married to me?"

Bai Yishu raised her head and pretended to be troubled, saying, "Then I might go and do square dancing with other old men."

"That won't do."

Upon hearing this, He Yun Shen immediately put on a stern face, pretending to be angry, and wrapped his arms around her even tighter.

"If I find you dancing in the square with other old men, I'll follow you around every day and glare at him so he won't dare come near you."
