Before her brain could process what was happening, Luo Xuan had already knelt on one knee, pulled out a small box, opened it, and said: “Chu Chu, marry me!”
In the box was a massive, brilliantly shining diamond ring!
Chu E was bewildered. What was going on?
Luo Xuan looked at her sincerely and repeated: “Chu Chu, I beg you, marry me!”
Chu E took a deep breath and said somewhat angrily: “Luo Xuan, don’t joke about this!”
“I’m not joking, I’m serious!” Luo Xuan knelt on the ground, insisting: “Chu Chu, I’m sincerely proposing to you, please agree!”
Chu E fell silent. After a while, she said bitterly: “You know my situation, I’m pregnant with someone else’s child…”
“I know!” Luo Xuan quickly interrupted her. “I’ve thought it through. Although this child is not mine, I will love him as my own. Please give me a chance to take care of you and the child…”
Chu E looked at him in disbelief.
“You don’t mind?”
Luo Xuan smiled slightly. “I used to mind, and even hoped you would get rid of him. But now I understand that this is a life we have no right to dispose of casually. Besides, I love you. As long as I can be with you, I don’t care about anything else…”
Chu E smiled bitterly and shook her head. “I don’t need your sympathy, nor your pity, I…”
“Chu Chu!” Luo Xuan grabbed her hand. “This isn’t sympathy or pity. This is the result of careful consideration. Chu Chu, if you won’t think about yourself, can’t you think about the child? If Gu Yanzhi still can’t accept this child in the future, what will you do? Are you willing to let him be called an illegitimate child behind his back for life?”
Tears slowly filled Chu E’s eyes. Gu Yanzhi wouldn’t even acknowledge the child. Even if a DNA test proved the child was his in the future, what could be done? Divorce? Impossible! Take the child? She would never agree! So the child’s identity was destined to never see the light of day!
“Chu Chu!” Luo Xuan looked at her sincerely. “Let me take care of you, give you and the child a warm home!”
