Chapter 2566: Surprising Proposal After Proposal (10)
Young mistress...
Is someone calling her?
Ye Mingmei stood in the elevator, looking forward, but always hesitated to step out; she nervously clung to Bai Zheng beside her, seeking a sense of security from him.
Three years, she had fantasized about this moment for three years, never truly feeling happiness so close that all she needed was to step forward to embrace it.
"Don’t you want to see the person I’m proposing to? You’ve reached the door, but you’re not going to take a look." Bai Zheng glanced at Ye Mingmei whose face turned pale and pushed her gently from behind.
He locked her fingers, guiding her boldly inside.
Ye Mingmei lifted her head to look at him, meeting Bai Zheng’s teasing gaze; at this moment, her heart was filled with curiosity, driving her forward.
As soon as she reached the door, her body stiffened, she was stunned at the layout in the living room, her eyes widened in disbelief, covering her mouth!
"If it were you, what way do you think would move you more?"
"I don’t like overly luxurious things, simple happiness makes me cherish it even more. If possible, I want to see the man I deeply love in our home, holding red roses, walking towards me in a room full of coziness and romance, confessing to me on bended knee..."
The past conversation seemed to appear before her once again, Ye Mingmei’s eyes reddened as she gazed at the dream-like scene before her.
The spacious living room was filled with red roses, stretching from the door all the way to the balcony; on the bright red buds, you could see droplets of water on the petals, reflecting a radiant luster in the dim light.
A circle of candles surrounded each rose, forming heart shapes.
The dancing flames seemed to possess a hypnotic power that made one reluctant to look away once they saw it.
Ye Mingmei stared dumbfounded at the scene turned real from her imagination, mesmerized; she was oblivious to when Bai Zheng left her side.
Until he walked towards her from the captivating scenery with roses in hand, approaching her, Ye Mingmei watched the handsome, upright figure step by step towards her, kneeling on one knee, slightly raising his charming face and said to her.
"Mingmei, I’m back!"
Her tears suddenly fell, she covered her mouth, crying uncontrollably!
It’s not "marry me," but "I’m back!"
Three years passed, over a thousand days and nights, she had been waiting for him, waiting for him to return to her side and personally say these words.
At first, everyone would tell her, it’s okay, he’ll be fine, he’ll be back soon.
She believed so too, desperately comforting herself, she must stay strong, take good care of herself, waiting for him.
But later, as her belly gradually grew, facing the soon-to-be-born baby, she was afraid alone yet firmly believed he would return.
Everyone around him had stopped assuring her that he would come back, instead, gradually, their eyes showed pity; she feared such pity, not knowing what it meant, so eventually, she became increasingly afraid of crowded places, scared of others asking her why she’s alone, where’s the child’s father?
Until Meimei was born, gazing at the delicate and adorable little girl, with her chubby pink cheeks, she increasingly anticipated their reunion, but the reunion seemed to grow more distant.
