Everyone was waiting for Qin Keqing to say “I do,” however, Qin Keqing’s mouth moved slightly, but she did not say a word.
If Liu Wentian had not been here, perhaps she could have put on a mask of falsehood and said “I do” emotionlessly just to appease everyone, including herself and her own life.
But now, the man she truly cared for was here. How could she say “I do”? She did not want to hurt him anymore.
At that mont, the atmosphere stiffened, and Qi Chenghan’s face turned ugly.
“Miss Qin Keqing, do you consent to have Qi Chenghan as your lawful husband and to enter into marriage with him?” Seeing no response from Qin Keqing, the priest hurriedly asked again, though much more briefly.
Qin Keqing remained silent, and now people under the stage could not help whispering among themselves.
Mrs. Qin’s face turned dark, and she glared fiercely at Qin Keqing, but Qin Keqing did not look at her.
Qi Shihong’s expression was gloomy and he remained silent.
They had not anticipated that Qin Keqing, who usually understood the bigger picture, would beco so emotional and disregard everything so much.
At that mont, Qi Chenghan suddenly knelt on one knee, took out a small, delicately crafted box, opened it, and revealed a diamond ring in front of everyone.
Among the crowd, there were so connoisseurs who imdiately exclaid, “That’s ‘Heart of Eternity’! ”
The “Heart of Eternity” was a diamond that was auctioned in Europe a while ago. It had sold for 28 million US Dollars, equivalent to nearly 200 million RMB!
The auction of this diamond had caused quite a stir at the ti.
Incredibly, it turned out that Qi Chenghan was the one who had bought this diamond!
Using a ring worth two hundred million as an engagent ring was a rather stunning move!
Many won in the audience scread with fanaticism. At this mont, Qi Chenghan, elegant and holding a ring worth nearly two hundred million, knelt on the ground and seed indeed like a prince proposing, capable of driving any woman wild!
“Keqing, do you understand, ever since the mont I saw your photo, I fell in love with you, beca utterly obsessed. I swore then that you would be mine, and no one could take you away. No other woman has made my heart beat like this.”
“Marry , will you? Trust , I will make you happy forever and protect you for a lifeti,” Qi Chenghan said passionately.
The crowd held their breath, waiting for Qin Keqing’s response. It really seed like a prince proposing to a princess, and they were the witnesses.
The won almost hated not being able to answer for Qin Keqing, wishing they were the ones being proposed to!
As for Qin Keqing’s earlier silence in response to the priest, they now saw it as a setup for Qi Chenghan’s dramatic kneeling and promise.
“I must say, you’re quick to react. By doing so, you’ve moved past the earlier awkward mont,” a surprising voice rang out.
The audience’s expression shifted as they looked at Liu Wentian, who was stepping toward Qin Keqing, so not able to react.
“What do you think you’re doing? Get out!” Qi Chenghan, not expecting Liu Wentian to audaciously walk up, suddenly changed his expression and shouted fiercely.
Liu Wentian glanced at him and said, “I see she won’t answer your question, Fairy Sister. Let ask instead.”
When Qin Keqing heard Liu Wentian call her “Fairy Sister,” her body stiffened, and then her eyes turned red. He had always called her that, and it had been such a long ti since she had last heard it.
She thought she would never hear it again in this life.
Liu Wentian looked at Qin Keqing, smiled, and said, “Fairy Sister, I want to ask that question again, although I was rejected once before. But I’m thick-skinned and still want to ask again.”
In the past, under that peach tree, he had asked her a question, to which she coldly replied, “You’re not worthy,” utterly crushing his pride.
He had hated her, resented her, but now, seeing her lost and desolate, all that hate and resentnt were gone, replaced only by heartache.
As a woman who, when he did not understand, had secretly given herself to him and then left, how could he bla her?
He was not a fool, nor was he unable to guess that she had been threatened with soone’s life in the past, forcing her to submit, leave the village, hurt his heart, and break his fantasies.
She would rather have him hate her all his life than live forever in longing for her.
Upon hearing Liu Wentian’s words, Qin Keqing’s tears fell even more uncontrollably.
Ti seed to go back to a few years ago, under that peach tree, where he had said the sa thing.
And countless tis in her dreams, she had heard him ask the sa question.
“Fairy Sister, I will treat you better than I treat myself, a thousand tis better. Will you be my wife?” he asked.
The question, naive as it sounded like a rustic proposal.
To the many won below the stage, it could not compare with what Qi Chenghan had just said.
What does treating you better than I treat myself, a thousand tis better, an to them? It certainly didn’t asure up to the diamond ring Qi Chenghan had presented.
And to call her wife in such an unromantic way!
Yet, Qin Keqing could not hold back any longer, her tears streaming down uncontrollably.
As if returning to a few years ago, under that peach tree, he had spoken to her just like that.
And countless tis in her dreams, he had also asked her the sa question.
