Chapter 972: Let’s Get Married

Jia Qiulian lowered her head and climbed onto the bed in embarrassment. She sat down next to Han Cihui.         

    

But it was clear that she was afraid Han Cihui might harbor evil thoughts about her, so she pulled the blanket off the edge and covered herself tightly.     

Immediately, the view was blocked. Han Cihui could only shift his gaze from Jia Qiulian's body to her face.     

"Lianlian..."     

Han Cihui's voice suddenly became hoarse, causing Jia Qiulian's heart to tremble.     

She squeezed the blanket around her body tighter. "H-hmm?"     

Han Cihui's eyes also changed. Jia Qiulian felt that his eyes were looking at her with a faint green light. "You... You're so beautiful."     

Jia Qiulian: "...."     

What kind of signal was that?     

Could it be that Han Cihui...     

Jia Qiulian was secretly angry. It was said that a man's mouth always likes honey. It turned out that everything he said was a lie!     

Earlier, he'd clearly said that he wouldn't touch her, but now... seeing him looking at her like that, she feared for her life.     

Jia Qiulian hugged the blanket and moved toward the edge of the bed. All the cells in her body also became nervous. "W-what are you going to do?"     

"I..."     

Han Cihui's voice was hoarse. Suddenly, he reached out his hand and held Jia Qiulian's shoulder. "I have something to talk about with you."     

"Ah!" Jia Qiulian was so scared that she closed her eyes and shouted, "No! Absolutely not!"     

"I just want to say one sentence, one single sentence!" Han Cihui swallowed hard. "Don't be nervous."     

It would be strange if Jia Qiulian weren't nervous.     

She was so nervous that her heart was about to burst out of her chest. She really regretted believing Han Cihui's words.     

Could it be... Today she'll...     

Jia Qiulian was so scared that she almost cried. "You said you wouldn't touch me!"     

"I won't touch you!" Han Cihui immediately promised.     

Jia Qiulian opened her eyes and looked at Han Cihui's hand on her shoulder. "Then what is this?"     

"I... I have something to talk about with you."     

It was very clear that Han Cihui was also very nervous, but Jia Qiulian didn't seem to notice it at all.     

Han Cihui's current look was very frightening in her eyes.         

    

Han Cihui didn't let go of Jia Qiulian's shoulder. Instead, he took a deep breath and waited until he was no longer nervous before slowly speaking word by word.     

"Lianlian, let's ... let's get married!"     

"A... What?" Jia Qiulian was stunned on the spot. She looked at Han Cihui in disbelief. "What are you talking about?"     

Han Cihui licked his dry lips. His eyes stared intently into Jia Qiulian's eyes. He said very seriously, "I've never been in love before and I've never been moved by a woman. Lianlian, I'm sure of it. I'm quite sure that you're the woman I want to spend the rest of my life with. I'm sure of my love for you."     

Jia Qiulian was confused. It wasn't that she didn't believe in Han Cihui's feelings for her.     

It was just that they'd only known each other for two months. And... It was only today that they officially confirmed their relationship.     

He proposed to her on the very first day?     

This... this was too fast!     

Jia Qiulian frowned. "Han Cihui, do you actually know what you are talking about?"     

"I do!" Han Cihui held Jia Qiulian's shoulder tightly as if he was afraid that she would suddenly run away.     

"I know you probably feel it too fast, and you probably also think it's just a momentary heat. But let me tell you, before I went to save you, I was really... experiencing the feeling of losing you. When I heard your faint voice on the line, I was really scared... Lianlian, maybe you couldn't understand my feelings at that time, but I want to tell you that I really can't live without you."     

"I'm almost 30 years old. In another family, a man of this age might already be married. He's also already become the father of a child. Before I met you, I felt that I wasn't yet an adult. After all, I'm the only child in my family. But after meeting you, I suddenly want to grow up. I want to be mature. I want to be a support to you. I want to be a man you can rely on. I no longer want to live a carefree life under the protection of my parents and brothers."     

Jia Qiulian had already heard about this from Liang Zixuan. Now that Han Cihui had said it, she was no longer surprised. On the other hand, she felt that he was very sincere.     

He confessed to her without any hesitation.     

"Maybe I'm saying this now because there are several factors that influence my thinking. But that factor is the threat of Zhao Kang! I'm afraid that you'll be snatched away again. I'm more afraid of the future. I'm afraid that Zhao Kang's framing and slandering will harm our relationship. Even if I say that I really trust you, Lianlian, I'm really afraid that you will cause trouble for me because of Zhao Kang's words. You feel that you are not worthy of me and then slip away from my side without saying a word. You don't even give me a chance to ask you to stay. Lianlian, I am really scared."     

Jia Qiulian's eyes turned red.     

She had only known Han Cihui for two months, but at this moment, she felt like she had known him for a very long time.     

What Han Cihui said... was exactly what she would do.     

If Zhao Kang really told the media about their past, Jia Qiulian feared that the people of the Han Family would no longer like her and accept her.     

They would force her to break up with Han Cihui.     

She could no longer bear the pain of being hurt for the second time. Maybe she would rather leave before the matter came to that point.     

Han Cihui saw Jia Qiulian's eyes turn red. He slowed down his speech and spoke softly and slowly. "It's unrealistic for me to promise you anything now because I know you will not believe me. But if you marry me, after you enter the Han Family, you will know. Our family is very kind. The elders aren't stubborn. And with your parents gone, you have no support. Let me be your support, okay? I promise you. I promise to love and protect you. In the future, I will not let you suffer any more harm."     

Jia Qiulian really didn't have any support other than Han Cihui right now.     

In the past, she felt that Zhao Kang was her everything. She was willing to give up everything for him.     

But what she got in return was a brutal betrayal.         

    

And after spending these two months with Han Cihui, she could feel his love and affection for her.     

She did not even give him anything. Even though she did not give anything, Han Cihui still did it for her.     

She knew how it felt to give unconditionally. She also knew how it felt to get nothing in return.     

Han Cihui did not know if he would get anything from her in the future, but he still gave it to her. That kind of love...     

How hard it was to bear it.     

It was also because of her past experience that made her heart ache even more for Han Cihui.     

Especially when he paved the way for her every time. He would use an almost disappointing tone to tell her that even without him, she can still live well.     

Jia Qiulian's heart really hurt.     

She really felt sorry for this man.     

"Han Cihui..."
