“Brother Kang, what’s wrong?” Lin Shurou moved forward to feel his forehead, asking anxiously: “Are you unwell? Is your injured foot still hurting -“
“Shurou!” He suddenly grabbed her hand, forcefully pulling her into his embrace.
“Brother Kang…” Lin Shurou was both shy and nervous but unwilling to push away from his embrace.
“Marry me, Shurou!” he said with closed eyes, speaking painfully.
He could no longer pin his hopes on a cold-hearted woman who showed no care for him. Although he still deeply loved Ji Mengtang, he was truly exhausted, no longer able to chase her constantly evading steps.
Forgive his selfishness! At this moment, he needed gentle hands to comfort his immensely wounded heart – even though he didn’t truly love Shurou.
“Brother Kang – are you serious?” Lin Shurou’s trembling hand covered her lips, her eyes brimming with joyful tears. “You really want… to marry me?”
“Yes, please marry me! Although I can’t explain why I’m suddenly proposing, I promise to take care of you and treat you well after we marry. If you don’t mind, then -“
“No! How could I mind?” She was overjoyed to the point of madness. “I’m willing to marry you! I’ll go home immediately and tell my father to preside over our wedding!”
She didn’t care why he was marrying her. As long as he was willing to marry her, she was ecstatic!
“I will personally visit my mentor and discuss the wedding date. However, I hope you’ll understand one thing – I want the wedding arrangements to be as simple as possible.” Now, he was emotionally exhausted and probably couldn’t handle an elaborate, grand wedding.
