Take her as my wife

Before Jiang Ni could respond, all her relatives and friends surrounded her.

Jiang Fengyu held Huo Huo in his arms and waved her little hand, saying, "Say yes~ Say yes~"

The others joined in, clapping and cheering, "Say yes!"

Jiang Ni blinked, suppressing her bittersweet emotions, but the tears welled up in her eyes.

She has been proposed to twice in her life.

The first time, it can't be said that Tan Yan's preparations were bad; there were plenty of flowers, cake, and candles, making it a decent proposal ceremony.

But Jiang Ni has such a good memory that when she was asked to recall what vows Tan Yan had made or what touching words he had spoken, she couldn't remember a single one.

At that time, she reflected on herself and felt that it was her emotional indifference that made the proposal lack the atmosphere it should have.

But now, Tan Wen is showing her through his actions that it's not like that.

She reached out her hand to Tan Wen, responding gently yet firmly, "Yes, you can."

Tan Wen took off the ring and skillfully slipped it onto her ring finger.

Jiang Fengyu is the most knowledgeable person here. Coincidentally, he was also at the auction for this pink diamond last time. He originally wanted to buy it to make a hair clip for Huo Huo, but someone raised the price to over 70 million.

He's not stupid. If he spent over 70 million to make a hair clip for Huo Huo, Liu Jiaren would definitely give him a severe scolding. It's better to let someone else be the sucker.

Unexpectedly, the sucker turned out to be Tan Wen.

The ring was on, and according to protocol, it was time for a kiss.

Liu Jiaren quickly took the flowers that Jiang Ni was holding.

Tan Wen hasn't shown any signs of crying yet.

Ye Tian tugged at Xiao Yuling's finger and whispered to her, "You're going to lose. Tan Wen didn't cry."

They made a bet on whether Tan Wen would cry when he proposed. Ye Tian actually thought Tan Wen would cry too, because putting himself in Tan Wen's shoes, he would shed tears when he finally married the love of his life—he knew he would.

However, knowing that Xiao Yuling would also choose this option, he deliberately chose the option of "won't cry".

Losing to your wife isn't shameful; it even makes her happy, so it's a worthwhile deal.

Xiao Yuling snorted coldly, confident: "It's not over yet. This kid is holding back, he's almost done."

She didn't believe Tan Wen wouldn't cry if Jiang Ni said just one word.

This was the first time Jiang Ni had kissed Tan Wen in front of so many people, including her elders.

Tan Wen stood up and approached her, cupping her cheeks in his large hands as if he could read her mind. He leaned down to comfort her, saying, "Just close your eyes. I'll cover them with my hands, they won't be able to see."

Jiang Ni shook her head slightly, then pushed his hand away, stood on tiptoe, cupped his face in her hands, and kissed him deeply.

Tan Wen was stunned for a moment, then quickly hugged her and returned the kiss passionately.

It's not just a fleeting glance.

There was no immediate separation.

It made the people around them feel a little embarrassed to even think about making a scene.

Jiang Fengyu quickly covered Huo Huo's eyes and silently chanted: Not suitable for children, not suitable for children...

Jiang Qiaonan, the father, awkwardly turned around and pretended to admire the scenery.

Others also started pretending to be "busy".

Only the brothers Hu Jiaguang and Hu Jiarong kept their mission in mind—Tan Wen had arranged for them to take photos and record every beautiful moment.

About a minute later, the sounds of their wet kisses finally stopped.

Jiang Ni was extremely embarrassed, but she pursed her lips and maintained the intimate gesture, saying everything she wanted to say.

Actually, rather than saying "I love you," I'd rather say "thank you."

"Thank you for taking me through those interesting things and adding color to my boring life; thank you for loving me, loving me steadfastly, and finding me; thank you for teaching me what love is and how to love."

She took Tan Wen's hand and led him to her heart: "Thank you for making its beating more than just a self-regulating rhythmic movement. It will be happy when it sees you, bitter when it misses you, and aching when other girls get close to you and like you... or like now, happy because of your proposal."

Beneath his palm, Tan Wen felt her heart pounding wildly.

His heart trembled in unison.

Jiang Ni kissed him again, as if stamping an eternal seal.

Liu Jiaren listened with tears welling up in her eyes. She knew all too well how difficult it was for Jiang Ni to take this step.

At that moment, she was filled with gratitude for Tan Wen.

Before her tears could fall, Tan Wen started crying first.

Tears streamed down his face, his voice trembling with sobs. He hugged Jiang Ni, buried his face in her shoulder, and accused her, "Why didn't you tell me these things slowly at night...?"

Jiang Ni was both amused and exasperated: "Can't I say it now?"

"No..." From a perspective where no one else could see, he secretly opened his mouth and gently bit Jiang Ni. "I put on makeup, and my face looks terrible from crying... I even had Da Guang and Xiao Rong taking pictures and videos..."

Tan asked, half-believing, half-doubting, "Really?"

Jiang Ni replied without hesitation, "Mm."

He slowly raised his head, blinked his red, tear-filled eyes, and his face was still wet with tears. The makeup artist had only applied a thin layer of foundation, which hadn't been set. His face was streaked with white and his original skin color, making him look like a little kitten.

"Click-clack..."

Xiao Yuling held up her phone and laughed loudly: "Hahaha, Tan Wen, you've finally met your match!! I finally managed to take an ugly picture of you!!"

She bowed to Jiang Ni and thanked her, saying, "Thank you so much, sister, for helping me achieve my wish!!"

Tan asked, "..."

He wiped his face, his hands covered in foundation, and looked at Jiang Ni in disbelief: "Sister, you're helping her bully me?!"

Jiang Ni's dimples popped out: "Is it not allowed?"

She reached out and pinched his nose, lowering her voice: "Who told you to 'bully' me yesterday—do you dare to do it again?"

Tan Wen grabbed her hand and kissed it hard on the lips, defiant as ever: "Dare."

Then, before anyone could react, he turned around and tried to snatch Xiao Yuling's phone!

Xiao Yuling was as quick as a rabbit; she ran away a second before Tan Wen was about to succeed!

Tan Wen took off chasing after her, yelling, "Xiao Yuling, you're dead if you dare send this out!"

Xiao Yuling couldn't outrun him, and anxiously shouted, "Ye Xiaotian, save me—"

Before the word "I" even landed, the person had already been picked up.

Ye Tian followed her as she ran out, afraid that she might fall.

Tan Wen chased after her for a few steps, then got tired of running and turned back to find Jiang Ni to "settle the score".

Jiang Ni stood still, clearly unafraid of him, her eyes still narrowed in a smile.

Tan walked over, demanding "compensation" with an air of self-righteousness: "I'm not taking my medicine tonight, I want to plant the seed!"

The person next to them: ...

Everyone here has been through similar experiences, so who wouldn't understand what he meant? As the proposal ceremony drew to a close, everyone quickly left to avoid hearing anything even more shocking.

The happiest people here were Xia Xun and He Xiaoling. They were of one mind: planting is good, planting is good, next year we can harvest a big, fat baby.

Once everyone had left, Jiang Ni forgot all about being shy and asked, puzzled, "Hmm? You... took your medicine yesterday?"

"I took it in advance because I was afraid I'd be too excited tonight and forget," Tan Wen realized, "So, my sister thought I hadn't taken the birth control pill, and she still allowed me to..."

His eyes suddenly lit up.

"One more time tonight!"

"I read in a book that it's easier to conceive a daughter between 9 PM and midnight..."

Jiang Ni: "..."
