Chapter 1521 - 1538: What Will It Take for You to Believe Me
Xia Xiaonuan also looked at him, actually she also wanted to find the answer...
However, only heaven knows the answer, in the face of fate, they are merely puppets in the hand of a child.
"Crash—!" She loosened her grip, and the fruit knife in her hand fell to the floor.
Tears burst from her eyes, she couldn’t see the man in front of her clearly, she just shook her head.
"Nangong Yaoling, don’t force me..."
"Force you?" Nangong Yaoling caught her hand: "Xiaonuan, you say I force you? Mingming it’s you forcing me, isn’t it? What more do you want me to do? Do I really have to die in front of you for you to believe in my genuine feelings for you?"
Xia Xiaonuan felt a headache, her heart trembled repeatedly, she felt like an ice sculpture before Nangong Yaoling’s scorching gaze, before his fiery passion, she could melt at any moment, turn into a puddle and disappear.
If it were truly possible, she would rather it be that way... that way, she wouldn’t have to face his questioning gaze, wouldn’t have to face his pain and deep affection, wouldn’t have to face the separation she had to face.
"I believe in your heart... I..."
At that moment, Nangong Yaoling suddenly let go of her, Xia Xiaonuan raised her eyes in surprise, only to see Nangong Yaoling suddenly take something out of his clothing pocket. As he knelt in front of her and held that thing up to her, Xiaonuan only felt a darkness before her eyes.
Heaven and earth were spinning.
In his hand was a delicate diamond ring.
"Xiaonuan, this ring was custom-made for me, it’s been with me for a long time, I’ve always wanted to find the right opportunity to give it to you. Originally, I planned to propose to you personally on this trip... But, unexpected events happened to Mommy..."
Xia Xiaonuan felt sore at the tip of her nose, weak in her knees, her chest churned like a sea storm, her brain felt leaden, and she was dumbfounded there.
"I know I’ve done many things to hurt you, and I’m deeply sorry and self-reproachful... I’ve never had the courage to speak to you, but in my heart, you’ve always been my beloved wife.
Xiaonuan, marry me, if you think what I have done is not good enough, I’m willing to spend the rest of my life proving to you how much I love you, I truly can’t lose you..."
Xia Xiaonuan’s eyes blurred again, in her vision, his handsome face under the light was stunningly appealing. She didn’t lack fantasies about this moment; ever since their divorce, she had fantasized about truly becoming his wife one day.
Because she always felt that the wedding of Xia Xiaonuan didn’t really belong to her, so like all girls, she fantasizes about becoming the bride of the man she loves most.
But now, what she sees is his brows and eyes blurred by haze, his nose, lips, and chin are all indistinct.
The man before her is like standing on the Seine River gazing at the majestic Eiffel Tower; gazing across the Bund Square under the night sky at the Oriental Pearl.
He is so close to her, yet, he becomes so unreachable...
Xia Xiaonuan closed her eyes and then opened them, her vision became much clearer.
"I’m sorry, a lifetime is too long. I don’t want to waste my time like this. Maybe you think I’m fine now, but one day, you’ll understand we are people from completely different worlds."
He gazed at her in astonishment, Xia Xiaonuan suddenly felt a kind of numb gratification sweeping over her heart and limbs.
