Chapter 430: Chapter 429: Will You Marry Me? (5)
He asked her if she would marry him.
At that moment, her heart was pounding, filled with excitement and joy. It seemed as if countless dazzling fireworks were blooming before her eyes, so beautiful that they made one’s heart ache.
Unfortunately, no matter how beautiful fireworks are, they still vanish in an instant.
She quickly calmed down and understood the reason why Gu Ningyi proposed to her.
In the blink of an eye, the excitement and happiness turned into despair and anger.
Yuan Shi clenched her fists tightly at her sides, biting her lower lip so hard it nearly turned white. "Gu Ningyi, I’m telling you, I had already given up, but now you’ve given me a chance. You know, you’ve given me a chance, and even if I know you’re marrying me for Dong Xin Yan’s sake, I will agree. If we truly get engaged, I won’t let go. Even if you regret it later and don’t want to marry me, I absolutely won’t break off the engagement with you!"
Pausing for a moment, her eyes gradually filled with moisture, still fiercely staring at him, speaking slowly and deliberately, "Gu Ningyi, with all this, do you still want to be engaged to me?"
Gu Ningyi listened silently to her long monologue, the expression on his handsome face unchanged, as if he was lost in his own world. After a few silent seconds, he slowly lifted his brow.
His dark eyes slowly turned, settling on her face.
Yuan Shi’s pretty face was tightly furrowed, her brows filled with intense bitterness and stubbornness. She could see everything clearly and yet held on carefully to her wishful thinking, unwilling to give up.
Knowing clearly, the front is a hopeless abyss, seeing it all clearly with wide open eyes, yet still charging forward without hesitation.
So foolish.
Foolish... just like him.
No, perhaps he’s even more foolish.
Betting his entire life’s happiness, just to exchange for hers.
In this world, could there be someone as foolish as him?
But it doesn’t matter anymore.
Anyway, if it’s not her, his lifetime of happiness is already gone. So at least if she is happy, isn’t that good?
Gu Ningyi’s lips slowly curved up, his voice low and hoarse, slow but firm, "If you agree, then we’ll get engaged."
If you agree... then we’ll get engaged.
Such sweet words, yet the moment he spoke them, why did her heart feel so sour, so painful?
Tears couldn’t be stopped, and they burst forth uncontrollably.
He was clearly so detestable, clearly his intentions were to use her, yet she couldn’t muster any anger towards him, not even a little.
Yuan Shi suddenly lifted her head, blinking her big eyes forcefully, not wanting to let the tears fall, but the tears still welled up from the corners of her eyes, then rolled down her cheeks.
She raised her hand to wipe away the tears, but the more she wiped, the more they came. Finally, she stopped wiping altogether, taking a deep sniff as if making a resolution. With reddened eyes, she looked at Gu Ningyi, her voice hoarse, "Okay, I agree, we’ll get engaged, let’s get engaged."
She couldn’t give up this only hope, couldn’t abandon this easily obtainable happiness, so... no matter what lies ahead, she... was now moving forward without hesitation.

The doctor came to inquire about Dong Xin Yan’s physical condition, confirmed she was fine, gave her a few instructions, and said she could leave.
Dong Xin Yan nodded, then opened her mouth to ask, "Doctor, may I ask who brought me to the hospital?"
